You have to hand it to the stupidity of these pirates! You must know that Marine Admirals are the peak fighting force among the Marines! Even among pirates, they belong to beings who can dominate a region.

Yet in order to get the gold on Haku's ship, these people wanted to kill Haku based merely on a few words from Dom! Even Rayleigh not far away was offering them a moment of silent prayer!

Boom!

The sky above the shipyard was already covered in dark clouds before anyone knew it!

"God's Judgment!"

Countless sparks of electric current surged continuously. Haku released large-scale, high-voltage, high-current lightning from his wrists. After hitting that group of pirates, it formed a pillar of lightning that spread to the surroundings, causing a massive bombardment.

!!!

All the shipyard workers and those pirates hiding in the shadows hung their jaws open at the sight of this devastating blow!

Even Rayleigh wore a grave expression after seeing this attack!

In his mind, he had already classified Haku into that most troublesome category of people.

Immediately, he stood up nonchalantly, wanting to take advantage of everyone's attention being focused on Haku to slip away quietly!

Only Haku would not let the other man get his wish!

Haku's figure flashed, and he had already appeared right in front of Rayleigh!

Rayleigh looked at Haku before him, feeling a bad preening sensation in his heart.

Yet he still curved the corners of his mouth upward and said to Haku, "Does this young Marine gentleman have some business?"

Haku looked at the other man, his gaze turning unkind as he said, "Silvers Rayleigh, I didn't expect to run into you on this island so soon!"

Rayleigh rubbed his nose and said, "What Rayleigh or no Rayleigh, I am just a retired old man."

Haku rolled his eyes and said, "Cut it out! Stop acting! Your bounty poster is still hanging in the room of my grandfather Garp."

Rayleigh's expression stiffened instantly, and then he slowly spoke to Haku, "So this young Marine gentleman wants to capture this old man back to the Marines?"

Since the time was already getting late, Haku still had to deal with the gold on the ark.

He took some of the gold from the system space into his own hands, and then, right in front of Rayleigh, he used Lightning Metallurgy to transform this gold into gold coins, packed them into a bag, and tossed them to the other man.

Amidst Rayleigh's puzzled gaze, Haku said, "Watch the ship for me first. This is your payment! After I finish handling my business, we can chat about other matters!"

Although Rayleigh caught Haku's gold coins, judging from his expression, he wanted to refuse!

Before Rayleigh could speak, Haku spoke a step earlier, "I think you should be very familiar with the surname Portgas!"

Upon hearing this surname, Rayleigh's expression froze slightly, clearly thinking of something.

However, Haku had already left Rayleigh's side and walked toward other parts of Sabaody Archipelago!

Watching Haku, who had already walked far away, Rayleigh shook his head helplessly and said, "Youngsters nowadays..."

However, Haku's surname had indeed attracted Rayleigh, so in the end he remained at the shipyard and helped Haku keep watch over the Ark Maxim!

Meanwhile, Haku quickly found the largest Celestial Dragon Bank in Sabaody Archipelago, which was also the largest bank in the pirate world! It was said that the headquarters of this bank was in Holy Land Marijoa, and its owner should be one of the Five Elders.

Using his official convenience, Haku quickly converted all the gold in the system into Berries and stored them inside his own system space!

Of course, Haku did not plan to convert the gold on the ark's deck into Berries. Therefore, after finishing his business, Haku quickly began walking back toward shipyards 50 through 59!

As Haku walked through the sightseeing district and specialty district of numbers 40 through 49, he had the "honor" of running into the group of people he least wanted to see!

Ahead of Haku, many people kept kneeling down and bowing their heads!

In the middle of these people, a pair of arrogant individuals walked over from there.

Haku looked at the person opposite him who had upward-curling black hair, thick lips, and a runny nose, wearing the unique attire of the Celestial Dragons and wearing a resin bubble!

He knew right away that this was Charlos, of the family of Roswald the Celestial Dragon!

Because Haku was standing right in their advancing path, he appeared very abrupt.

When Charlos saw Haku, he asked in puzzlement, "Eh! Why hasn't this person knelt down?"

Of course, this did not prevent him from taking out his pistol and aiming it at Haku!

Charlos pulled the trigger and fired a shot at Haku.

Yet the moment the gunshot rang out, Haku's figure suddenly vanished.

Charlos was also stunned; he had clearly aimed at Haku's head and fired, so why had the person vanished?

Then, however, Haku appeared right by Charlos's side, and between his fingers he was pinching the bullet Charlos had just fired!

Seeing Haku appear, Charlos even laughed loudly and said, "Good, good, good! It looks like you'll make a pretty good slave. Men! Hurry up and put a collar on this fellow!"

The veins on Haku's temples were throbbing wildly. He had seen idiots, but he never expected to run into such an idiotic piece of trash!

Furthermore, a guard from the Celestial Dragon's Guard Squad actually took out a pair of collars, wanting to put it around Haku's neck?

"Lightning Punishment!"

Countless bolts of lightning burst forth from Haku's body, striking down and killing all of Charlos's blind guard squad!

Immediately, Haku shifted his murderous gaze onto Charlos!

Charloses's face revealed a look of alarm, and he spoke in terror, "What do you want to do? I am a Celestial Dragon! You lowly commoner, do you still want to raise a hand against me?"

"This place is very close to Marine Headquarters, aren't you afraid of drawing a Marine Admiral here!"

Upon hearing this, the throbbing veins on Haku's temples bulged right up to his forehead.

Right after that, he smiled amiably at Charlos and said, "Could it be that you didn't know the person you just shot at was a Marine Admiral? You fat pig!"

"I am a Celestial Dragon! Who are you calling a fat pig?" Charlos's focus was somewhat strange; in such a life-or-death moment, he could actually get angry over the two words "fat pig"?

After saying this, he actually raised his gun again and fired several more bullets at Haku!

I really want to kill this thing!

At this moment, only this single thought remained in Haku's mind!

Over at the shipyard, the pirates trying to sneak onto the ark suddenly suffered attacks from countless violent bolts of lightning. In less than a moment, nearly a hundred of those pirates perished!

Evidently, these people had become Haku's punching bags!

Meanwhile, Rayleigh, who was helping Haku watch the ship, muttered, "What a short-tempered little brother."

Over on Haku's side, after Charlos finished firing the bullets in his hand, he took out his Den Den Mushi and dialed Sengoku directly!
