Chapter 531: SFDI - 531
Drake, Stella, and Kuma had arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago quickly, and Bonney had arrived before this, and she had been waiting for Drake’s news all along.
Walking into a tavern that they had agreed on, which had been reserved by the Bonney Pirates, Drake had seen Bonney, who had been sitting before the bar, tapping her feet constantly on the floor, as soon as he had pushed open the door with Kuma.
Drake naturally hadn’t been afraid that Kuma would run away again now that they had arrived here, so he had removed the bindings on Kuma’s body.
"Papa... I’ve finally seen you again!"
Bonney had pounced over directly, hugging Kuma tightly, as if she had been afraid that he would disappear again.
Drake hadn’t wanted to disturb the warm scene of the father and daughter reuniting, so he had turned around, leaving with understanding.
A member of the Bonney Pirates had sent over a box that had been filled with money just after he had walked out of the tavern.
Drake had received his reward with a clear conscience, waving his hand, and he had then left.
Stella had still been waiting for him, and they had agreed to take her to play at the amusement park on the Sabaody Archipelago.
Drake’s original plan had been to tour the Sabaody Archipelago before going to Fish-Man Island to take a look. But the matter of the Marineford War had made Drake change his plan.
So he had received Drake’s contact before the Straw Hat Pirates had arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, and the two groups had met at Shakky’s Rip-off Bar in Area 13.
The Sabaody Archipelago could also be considered a special island, and it had been a special island that had been made up of the roots of Yarukiman Mangroves.
A total of seventy-nine Yarukiman mangroves had jointly made up seventy-nine small islands, and these islands had been divided into different areas according to the numbers of the Yarukiman mangroves on the islands.
The areas from number one to number twenty-nine had been lawless zones where slave shops and pirate gang bases had been concentrated. Even the marines had been taking a blind eye attitude towards this place.
Even though the number of pirates here hadn’t been small because the Sabaody Archipelago had been a stop that pirates had had to pass through to enter the New World in the second half of the Grand Line.
And the bar that had been opened in this kind of place had even hung the words "Rip-off Bar" on its signboard directly, and you could know how simple this place hadn’t been just by thinking about it.
Although it had been called a bar, the main business that had been done here had actually been the buying and selling of information. And not just anyone could have done this kind of business, and resources, connections, and strength had all been indispensable.
The bar had only had two members, and the backgrounds of these two members had been even more frightening than the last.
The former queen of Amazon Lily, the island of women, had been the owner here, and the old man who had been eating for free had been the Pirate King’s right-hand man, Silvers Rayleigh, who had had the title of Dark King.
Drake hadn’t known many places on the Sabaody Archipelago, and this had been the only place that had been safe and suitable for talking.
As an information merchant, Shakky had naturally known who Drake had been, so she had happily agreed to Drake’s request to borrow the bar.
As for Rayleigh, according to Shakky, he had been going to earn money at the auction house because he hadn’t had money for alcohol.
And the method that he had been using to earn money had been to sell himself as a slave, and he would then slip away after getting the money. You really had to say that these old guys from the previous era had known how to have fun.
And the Straw Hat Pirates had arrived soon, and Luffy had been the first to enter, and he had then rudely drilled behind the bar, rummaging through the refrigerator, and the rest of the people had only then walked in.
Apart from the members of the Straw Hat Pirates, there had also been three other people in the group.
The octopus fish-man Hachi, the mermaid girl Camie, and the talking starfish Pappag.
It had been because Camie had been captured by the auction house and Hachi had been shot by a Celestial Dragon in the original plot that Luffy had hit a Celestial Dragon, and Admiral Kizaru had been drawn over in the end.
So Drake hadn’t felt surprised that they had come along.
Shakky had taken a deep puff of her cigarette, opening her mouth, saying, "So these are the people that little Drake has been waiting for! But it’s really surprising that you’re actually friends with Hachi."
Hachi had once saved Rayleigh, who had been drowning, so Hachi and Rayleigh, as well as Shakky, had all had a good relationship.
The other members of the Straw Hat Pirates had also come before Drake while Hachi had been going up to greet Shakky.
Zoro had opened his mouth, saying, "You said before that you had something important to tell us, what exactly happened?"
Drake had looked at Luffy, saying, "This matter is mainly related to Luffy."
Luffy had been chewing on something in his mouth, saying unclearly, "Related to me? What’s the matter?"
Drake had said directly, "Ace has been captured by the marines, and they’re going to publicly execute him at the marine headquarters."
The fruit that Luffy had been half-eating in his hand had fallen on the ground directly, and the expression on his face had become serious right away.
"Ace is going to be executed... no, I’m going to save him!"
While saying this, Luffy had climbed out from behind the bar, about to walk outside.
There had naturally been someone to stop this rash behavior of his, and the ship bully Nami had blasted a punch on Luffy’s head directly.
Luffy had covered the large bump on his head, saying, "Nami, why did you hit me!"
Nami had revealed her shark teeth, saying, "You big idiot, do you know where you’re going to save your brother?"
Luffy had also reacted, saying foolishly, "Oh yeah, I don’t know where Ace is!"
Shakky had opened her mouth, saying, "The commander of the Whitebeard Pirates’ second division is actually little Luffy’s brother, that’s really surprising information.
But it’s not that simple to save him, and according to my information, he’s already been locked up in Impel Down right now."
"Impel Down?" Luffy’s neck had stretched out to before Shakky directly, saying, "What kind of place is that? How can I go there?"
Drake had introduced it to him, saying, "Impel Down is a special building that’s located in the Calm Belt in the first half of the Grand Line.
The main body of its architecture is all in the seawater, and it’s also surrounded by a large number of sea kings, and you could say that it’s an incomparably dangerous place.
But precisely because of this, it’s been used by the marines as a prison to lock up vicious criminals, and an entire marine fleet protects it all year round.
Impel Down is completely different from Enies Lobby, and you can only think about it in your dreams if you want to save someone from there with your current strength."
Luffy had said without any hesitation, "I don’t care about those things, and I’m definitely going to save Ace!"
Zoro had grabbed Luffy, looking at Drake, saying, "So the reason why you called us here shouldn’t have been to have us give up, right?"
Drake had snapped his fingers, saying, "Of course not, so how about requesting me to help you save him?"
He had been acting as a Fairy Tail mage in this world, so Drake naturally had to be more professional.
And for Ace, who had originally had a tendency to self-destruct, Drake had also needed a position to have him accept his help.
Nami had just revealed a wary look when Luffy had pounced over, saying, "I want to make a request, and it doesn’t matter how much the reward is, as long as you can save Ace."
Nami had clenched her fists, but she had still endured it, not saying anything after seeing Luffy’s expression.
...
One day later, Luffy, who had been waiting before the Den Den Mushi, had picked it up right away after it had only rung once.
"Sorry, Luffy, Ace has already been transferred out of Impel Down! You can only wait until the public execution if you want to save Ace next."
Luffy had been silent for a long time, saying with a rare serious tone, "I understand, then Drake, I have another request that I hope you can accept."
