Chapter 58: The Celestial Dragons Seize the Ship
In the lawless zone, Viscount Nass of the Valorant Kingdom also caught wind of the golden ship. After auctioning off a few slaves, he hurried to the coating factory to take a look.
If he could buy the golden ship with Belly, it would make attending the slave auctions at Sabaody Archipelago far more convenient in the future.
"Viscount Nass, you mustn't act recklessly! I heard that ship belongs to a notorious Supernova with a 200-million Belly bounty. Our guards wouldn't stand a chance against them!"
A wealthy merchant from the Valorant Kingdom hastily tried to dissuade the young and impulsive Viscount. As businessmen, they knew better than to provoke lawless pirates. Avoiding trouble was always the wisest course of action.
Risking their noble lives against these reckless pirates simply wasn't worth it!
"My father is the Iron Shield Earl of Valorant Kingdom, commanding an army of 100,000. Who would dare lay a hand on me? Besides, I'm just going to see if I can buy the ship. That's all!"
Ignoring the merchant's warning, Viscount Nass led his entourage of a dozen guards toward the coating factory. The other merchants, reluctant but unwilling to let him go alone, hurriedly gathered their own guards and followed.
...
At the World Government's designated entry port on Sabaody Archipelago, a grand and luxurious ship docked. This was the exclusive landing point for Celestial Dragons visiting the island.
The ship's bow featured a massive golden lion head adorned with a crown, and its sails bore the World Government's cross-and-dot insignia. The extravagant craftsmanship rivaled that of the fabled golden ship, making it equally resplendent.
"Nyeh nyeh, where's my flying golden ship? Hurry up and present it to me!"
