What are they doing?
Using the water elevator, Bonney and Cifer arrived at Dock One in the center of Shipbuilding Island, where they found a large crowd gathered on the shore.
Curiosity drove her to jump into the crowd and look at the people surrounded in the center.
"That's so cool, Barry!"
"Lulu's here too. She's really experienced. She's a true man among men!"
"If we're talking about a real man, it's definitely Telsdon!"
"Huh~ It's a shame that the most handsome Mr. Lucci isn't here~"
Such sounds kept coming from the crowd, as the foremen of the Galley-La Shipyard on Shipbuilding Island were dealing with the pirates who were trying to freeload.
Bonney looked closer and realized it was just a group of men carrying another group of unconscious men.
"How boring!"
She wondered if there was something delicious that had attracted so many people to gather here to buy food, but it turned out to be just this.
Just as she was about to leave, she was met with a barrage of lewd glances and comments.
"What a pretty lady! Want to grab dinner together tonight?"
Many onlookers noticed Bonney's pouty lips and sulky little face, and their eyes turned into heart shapes.
"This city is truly disgusting!"
Since setting sail from the South Blue, Bonney has never seen a place where the men of Water Seven are as lecherous and unabashed as they are.
She couldn't take it anymore and slapped them all at once, turning every man she touched into a frail old man in an instant.
This time, however, Cifer did not stop him; he simply stood by with his hands in his pockets and watched.
"What happened?!"
The shipwrights in the Dock One began to move outwards in response to the sudden commotion in the crowd.
"It's this woman! Every man she touches ages instantly!"
At this moment, the people who were laughing and joking suddenly became terrified. They scattered in all directions, and some even hid behind the boatmen.
"Wearing such short pants is utterly shameless!"
Barry blushed as he looked at Bonney's outfit and scolded her, seemingly forgetting the men around him who had turned into old men.
"I advise you to turn yourself back as soon as possible!"
A man wearing sunglasses and covered in tattoos walked slowly forward, wanting to demand an explanation for everyone.
Bonney ignored him and rolled up her sleeves, intending to multiply herself to show them that she was not a woman to be trifled with!
"Stop it, everyone!"
Just as tensions were about to rise, a dignified voice silenced the Galley-La boatmen who were about to start a fight.
"Mr. Iceberg!"
Whether they were boatmen or ordinary people, they all stood quietly to the side and greeted the two men who were walking towards them.
"Kalifa!"
"Yes! It has been investigated and the facts are clear!"
Walking behind the Iceberg, the secretary, who looked like an adult and wore glasses, came forward with a small notebook.
"Jewelry Bonney, the 'Big Eater' of the South Blue, with Bounty 27 million Belly; and Black Winged Great Demon Ulquiorra Cifer, one of the current Shichibukai."
"Accompanying him but not present were four other members, including 'Thor' Enel and 'Child of the Devil' Nico Robin."
"It's a super pirate crew of six people!"
Kalifa solemnly read out the information that sent chills down the spines of everyone around her.
"Seven... Shichibukai?!"
The foremen of Galley-La Company were dumbfounded, clearly not expecting that such an important person had come.
"I see. I'm the boss here. My name is Iceberg. Welcome to Water Seven!"
The Blue-Haired man paused for a moment when he heard Kalifa's report, then subtly expressed his attitude.
"How can you be a boss? Don't you know how to manage these men? They all act like they've never seen a woman before!"
Bonney showed him no respect whatsoever, and even tried to hit him a couple of times, but was stopped by Kalifa.
"You rude scoundrel!"
"How can you call someone a world-class shipbuilding engineer 'this guy'?!"
Kalifa launched a flurry of flying kicks, but Bonney nimbly dodged them all.
"It's Secretary Kalifa's long-awaited outburst!"
"I really want to get kicked too~"
The men were completely absorbed and didn't notice that the Iceberg next to them had been kicked and was now black and blue.
"Sorry, it was an accident... Mr. Iceberg is a man respected by the entire Water Seven, you must not disrespect him."
After kicking her, Kalifa seemed a little embarrassed, pushed up her glasses with her fingertips, and then apologized.
"Huh? You didn't seem to consider that when you started hitting me~"
Bonney pointed at the Iceberg and mocked her, while Kalifa just kept pushing up her glasses to hide her embarrassment.
"So, could you please be merciful and let these people off the hook? They meant no harm."
Staring at that half-pig's face, Iceberg finally spoke up: For so long, there had never been any violent incidents in Water Seven.
First, city dwellers live in harmony and rarely have disputes; at most, they may have some minor disagreements with outsiders.
Secondly, if outsiders cause trouble, the powerful Galley-La Company can handle it.
Now, the problem that is happening right before our eyes, and that Galley-La Company is unlikely to be able to solve, is simply that the residents are being verbally abused and beaten.
"No way!"
Bonney slung her bag over her shoulder and swaggered away from the crowd, with no one daring to stop her.
"It's a shame, I can't control what she's going to do."
Cifer shrugged, and then neither passersby nor members of Galley-La Company stepped forward, because Mr. Iceberg chose to remain silent.
"Mr. Iceberg! A guy with long ears just injured quite a few civilians!"
Just then, someone rushed over and anxiously reported what had happened on the commercial street to him.
"Long ears... he's one of that guy's companions!"
Kalifa responded by flipping through her notebook.
"What a nuisance! Of all people, I've messed with them!"
Iceberg had a headache. He couldn't ignore the crowd of people who had turned into old men, swaying backs and barely able to stand, but he also didn't want to get into a conflict with the two people.
The Shichibukai are not comparable to those petty pirates who fight and play around on a daily basis. In addition to their strength, what's more important is that they also have connections with the World Government.
Iceberg even suspected that the other party might also be after Pluton's blueprints.
Otherwise, how could he have brought Nico Robin, whom the World Government had been searching for for 20 years but still hadn't found, to this city and caused trouble everywhere?
If the World Government contacts him, he can deny it and they won't make things difficult for him openly.
But the Shichibukai are essentially pirates, so fighting them is not a wise choice.
Just as he was scratching his head in distress, a strange voice came from behind him.
"I'll go talk to them later!"
"Ah~ It's Mr. Lucci ~ He's so handsome!"
A handsome man with his hands in his pockets and a comma-shaped beard walked out with a white dove, causing the female fans in the crowd to scream continuously.
"How about I go with you five foremen? That way we can help each other if anything happens."
"It would be best not to make a big deal out of it."
After a moment's thought, Iceberg shared his thoughts.
It's definitely better to meet with the other party privately, at least so that innocent people won't be hurt if anything happens.
"No need, I'll go with Kaku, I know that guy."
The white dove on his shoulder opened and closed its beak, making a strange sound again. Lucci's gaze was drawn to the man's departing figure.
He himself is hailed as a genius that the World Government has seen once in eight hundred years, while his opponent is a notorious villain who has become famous at a young age. So what is the difference in their strength?
The body, which had been repairing ships in Dock One. 1 for years and was almost rusty, seemed to be trembling.
For the first time in a long time, Lucci felt a surge of fighting spirit.
