Holy Land Marie Gioia.
The headquarters of the World Government is located on the Red Continent between the first half and the second half of the Grand Line.
It is also a gathering place for the world's noble Celestial Dragons. It is heavily guarded and has the most powerful military force in the world.
It was already a month later when Xia Le and his party arrived at Mariejoia.
Hidden among the clouds and mist, there is a large group of castles with spectacular and majestic gates.
When Xia Le and Cobra stepped into this holy place, their hearts were shocked and shocked.
Looking around, the front is boundless and the field of vision is extremely broad. In the distance are castles, and the ground is paved with movable floors.
"Your Highness, as long as we stand here, it will send us to the Holy Land."
Icarem whispered.
Even at the door, he still didn't dare to speak too loudly.
As the center of power in the world, this is almost the area with the most nobles, and countless people are eager to move here.
Xia Le nodded, but his expression was a little gloomy.
He looked at the moving floor under his feet, but he could already clearly see the slaves underneath, dripping with sweat, stained with blood, and screaming in pain.
The so-called moving floors and passages are not high-tech, but are completed by slaves. Behind them is the blood and sweat of countless people.
Cobra obviously knew the meaning behind the floor. He was silent all the way and looked very heavy.
As everyone gradually approached the castle complex ahead, the first thing they saw was the prosperous and luxurious palace complex.
The neat streets are spotless and lined with valuable trees and flowers.
When they saw them coming, the slaves on both sides knelt down nervously, hundreds of meters away, with their foreheads pressed to the ground and their whole bodies trembling.
This scene made Xia Le's pupils shrink.
Behind it, Ifuya had a look of shock and fear in her eyes.
In front of the street, a Celestial Dragon wearing bubbles on his head was walking slowly.
Silent, prosperous, and spacious, the palace is filled with an inexplicable and suffocating sense of majesty.
"A place where power is concentrated."
Xia Le murmured.
Here, his own strength seems to have been infinitely weakened. A noble with a fat belly and weak muscles can, with just one word, get a reward of hundreds of millions from the outside world and kill a powerful pirate.
Even a powerful navy must still be cautious here and not dare to show any disobedience.
The word power ironically occupies everything in this so-called holy place.
Walking forward silently, everyone soon saw a Tianlong stopped in front of them and his eyes fell on a maid kneeling on the ground on the street.
"She's in great shape."
"Bring her back, my rhubarb still needs a female friend."
Showing a ferocious smile, the Tianlong man grinned.
This sentence made other people in his team feel cold in their hearts. They knew exactly what the rhubarb in this adult's mouth was.
A ferocious beast!
Recently, this beast is in mating season.
"devil!"
"You are all devils!!"
The fishman who was bound by chains in front roared with an angry expression and struggled hard against the chains, making a clattering sound.
"Shut up, you slave!"
The Tianlong man was furious, raised his whip and whipped forward fiercely.
"Snapped!"
A crisp sound came out, and the fishman's back, which was already covered with scars, suddenly had a few more bloodstains, and he let out a miserable cry.
"Just kill me!"
"Kill me if you dare!"
The fishman roared angrily.
The Celestial Dragon sneered: "You are a toy that I spent a lot of money to buy. If I want to die, I have to get tired of playing with it."
At this moment, a group of figures in front of him came over.
The man in black, who was about to catch the girl walking beside him, was stunned and stopped temporarily.
"Um?"
The Celestial Dragon raised his head and looked at each other.
"They are the nobles from various countries who came to participate in the World Conference."
From behind, someone reminded in a low voice.
"Besides, they are just a group of guys who rely on us Tianlong people."
The Draconian snorted.
Soon, the two people standing in front had arrived in front of him. One of them was very tall, twice as tall as him.
"Rude guy!"
The Tianlong man suddenly snorted angrily.
The whip in his hand was also swung hard at the figure in front of him.
"You didn't even say hello when you saw me!"
The whip suddenly straightened and bent, then straightened hard again and whipped away.
But the next second, the Tianlong people froze there.
The whip in his hand was firmly held in the palm of another tall figure.
"Bold!!"
"You dare to resist Saint Don Quixote Musgard!"
Before the Tianlong man spoke, the black-clothed guards behind him immediately moved and surrounded the entire front team.
Xia Le raised his head and grabbed the long whip from the opponent's hand.
"Stab it!"
Lightning flashed and the whip turned into ashes and flew away.
In the team, Ifuya was shocked. Looking at the men in black surrounding them, a flash of fear flashed in her eyes.
The aloof Celestial Dragons were simply born gods to a commoner like her, and she instinctively dared not resist.
Others also had a look of panic on their faces.
Didi subconsciously hugged Vivi tightly, and grabbed Kobra's arm in front of her with her other hand.
"Honored Saint Musgarud."
"We are the Neferutari clan. We were invited here to attend the World Conference."
Taking a slight breath, Cobra said solemnly.
"Neferutari?"
Saint Musgarud was stunned.
"Yes, I am Nefertari Kobra, the king of Alabasta, and this is my brother, Prince Nefertari Charlot!"
Cobra forced a smile and spoke.
"They are also Celestial Dragons!"
The guards in black were suddenly startled, with a look of fear on their faces.
Immediately, someone quickly reported in the ear of Saint Musgarud.
"You are the family that moved out of the Holy Land? How stupid!"
Saint Musgard snorted.
But the anger on his face has also faded a bit. Since they are both Tianlong people, it is naturally impossible for them to do anything to each other.
He glanced at the team ahead, and when he saw the frightened Ivya, there was a hint of joy on his expression.
"As a gift to resolve the conflict between our two clans, will you give her to me?"
"I didn't expect that the Neferutari clan has a hobby of taking in navy slaves. This actually opened a new door to the world for me."
Saint Musgarud said, a little excited.
In his logical thinking, slaves are just things that can be killed and exchanged at will. As a partner to disturb him, it is a very logical thing.
The other party should not be ignorant.
Hearing this, Cobra fell silent and slowly clenched his fists.
There was a hint of worry on Ikarem's face, Didi sighed quietly and covered Weiwei's eyes.
As for Eveya, her mind was blank at this time.
She was actually noticed by the Tianlong people.
It’s over!
Behind him, the nine marines lowered their heads, with a flash of ferocity and anger in their eyes.
The knowledge they learned at O'Hara Naval Academy taught them many ideological enlightenment truths, such as what freedom and democracy are.
What is called resistance and struggle!
A more accurate interpretation of justice!
The scene before him was completely subverted and deviated from the so-called justice.
"As long as the Lieutenant General gives the order."
"We'll take his head off right away!"
The marines roared in their hearts.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment, and not a single sound came out.
The fishman, who was bound by the iron chain, raised his head with difficulty. When he saw the tall figure close at hand, his eyes shrank and his heart was shocked.
"It's him!?"
On the far side of the street, the maid who was trembling and kneeling on the ground, who was named and selected, also boldly raised her head slightly to take in this scene.
"Lieutenant General Xia Le?!"
Likewise, the maid's eyes widened.
"call!"
A breeze suddenly blew over, stirring up the figure who was three meters tall and strong, like an iron tower.
"You dare to ask for my people?"
A cold, deep voice suddenly came out, tearing the moment of peace.
Immediately afterwards, an inexplicable cold breath filled the air, causing Saint Musgarud who was standing opposite to shiver.
"She has been in the navy since she was fifteen, with the rank of colonel."
"Captured more than fifty-six famous pirates."
"He has made countless contributions to the navy and the West China Sea."
The calm and cold voice came out, making the precious trees on both sides tremble.
"the most important."
"She is my right-hand assistant!"
"How dare you ask for her?"
"Really!"
Xia Le looked down, and saw a face that was gloomy, cold, and even a little ferocious.
"Looking for death!"
A chilling voice came out, and just a moment later, his figure had disappeared.
"What?!"
The black-clothed guards trembled, with disbelief in their eyes.
"Wait, I remembered!"
"He is the legendary Lieutenant General in the Navy!!"
"Xia Le! He is Xia Le!"
The pupils of the people in black shrank.
Just now, he didn't associate the other party with the navy entirely because of his noble attire.
At this moment, Xia Le had appeared in front of Saint Musgarud, and his right fist clenched suddenly, making a loud banging sound.
"What is he going to do?"
"No way?!"
Whether it was Kobra, Saint Musgarud, the fishman who turned his head in front, the maid on one side of the street, or the man in black responsible for guarding.
At this moment, their eyes widened with fear and disbelief.
"boom!"
There was a dull impact, and it was visible to the naked eye that the fist dented Saint Musgarud's nose, and blood flew out almost instantly.
Its fat and short figure is like a cannonball, whizzing and flying towards the rear.
"Oh my god!!"
"Are you kidding me?"
"How dare you do such a bold thing here!"
The men in black were collectively petrified, and Eveya burst into tears. Weiwei opened her mother's hand, looked at the tall figure in front of her, and blinked.
"This guy!"
"Do you want to die?"
The fishman's pupils were shaking.
