The Kingdom of Goa is a very famous country in the East Blue. It is a legendary land of purity and is praised by everyone as the most beautiful country in the East Blue.

Although strictly speaking the entire island belongs to this country, what people call the Kingdom of Goa is actually just a city.

It is a city surrounded by high walls.

In a more important part of the city, there was another, even higher wall that divided the city into two parts: the High Town where the nobles lived and the central street where the commoners lived.

However, even the central street is spotless, a quality unmatched by other cities along the coast.

The people coming and going on the street were all well-dressed, and without exception, they all wore gentle and peaceful smiles, creating a truly outstanding scene of civilization.

At this moment, on the streets of the commoners' district in the Kingdom of Goa.

"It's been so long since I've been here!"

Ace crossed his arms, a look of amazement on his youthful face, "Nothing has changed at all! Still just as annoying!"

"Mmm-hmm,"

The Straw Hat Kid, mimicking his brother, nodded repeatedly with a serious expression.

That was almost three years ago.

They haven't been back here since the fire that night, since Sabo's 'death'.

These two boys volunteered to be our guides.

Sirius put the two boys on the Sirius and then sailed around the island all the way to the coast outside the city.

Maria, who volunteered, and Jack, who was uninterested in the matter, stayed behind to guard the ship, while the others went ashore.

The first problem encountered was the high walls that closed off the city; no one was allowed to enter directly.

However, with Law around, his abilities made the Sirius Pirates an uncontainable force.

Once the room was opened, everyone was inside the country.

"It feels good."

Wrapped in a dark cloak, Luo surveyed the city with a touch of melancholy.

After strolling around the city for a while, it's clear that the city truly lives up to its reputation as the most beautiful country in the East Blue. Not only is it spotless, but its design is also very sophisticated, with houses arranged in a well-organized and orderly manner, without feeling crowded at all.

The architectural style is also unique, giving people a pleasant feeling from a visual perspective.

In addition, it was a level of prosperity that Sirius had never seen before. There were no slums or similar places that were common in other cities. Instead, it was a scene of great prosperity.

It truly deserves to be called the most beautiful country in the East Blue.

"But, it's strange,"

Yamato, who had already used Seimei Kikan to change his appearance, frowned and asked strangely, "This country... it feels so strange."

"I also feel like something's off,"

Hiyori, who also wore a cloak to conceal herself Hiyori, deeply sympathized, "Is this country really so prosperous? Not only do I not see any poor people, but everyone is so gentle and polite, and there are no disputes whatsoever."

This city can truly serve as a benchmark for other cities on the high seas.

Clean, bustling, civilized, and gentle.

Sirius and his companions had been traveling on the sea for a long time, but this was the first time they had ever seen a city like this.

That's really special.

Sirius had also changed his appearance using Seimei Kikan, chuckled softly.

He knew all too well what lay hidden behind the country's civilization and prosperity.

"Hmph, we just can't see it right now," Ace scoffed.

He grew up in this country, and one of his younger brothers was a nobleman. He met Ace while trying to escape his suffocating family, so he knew exactly what this country was like.

"Tsk, I understand now."

Luo nodded with a light smile.

It doesn't not exist, it's just invisible.

Let's go!

Sirius laughed and said, "Let's go take a look over there!"

He pointed to another high wall at the far end of the street.

Behind that lies the area where the nobles reside; the people of this city call it High Town.

It's a higher place in this country.

Although this section of the city wall was more heavily guarded, it still couldn't stop the Sirius Pirates from entering.

After passing through this city wall, a completely different scene from the commoners' street unfolded before Sirius and his companions.

Unlike the orderly, working-class streets, this kind of concept is completely unnecessary here.

It's just too spacious.

Although its area is not much different from that of the common people's street, it has far fewer buildings, and is scattered with manors of all sizes and numerous shops.

Although there are many manors here, the buildings are also very tall, with many being more than ten stories high.

The infrastructure is also complete, with hospitals, schools, parks, and even streetlights and trash cans everywhere, which is something you absolutely won't see in any other city Sirius.

"That's really interesting."

Sirius chuckled softly.

Living here must be very comfortable, right?

The group also strolled around the inner city, and it must be said that in terms of cultural landscape, it was quite impressive; the buildings and urban layout were well worth seeing.

"I am bored."

Yamato pouted and complained, "Everyone here is so boring! Do they all only have one expression?"

The people here were much gentler and more humble than those in the commoner's street. Everyone the group encountered on the road greeted each other with a gentle smile, and even when they encountered the cowardly and casually dressed Sirius and his group, they nodded gently in acknowledgment.

"One person doing this can be considered polite, but it's a bit scary when everyone does it," Page One said. "Brother, something's wrong with this city."

"So, as I've said, there's nothing worth seeing here."

Ace said coldly, "Every corner of this city is filled with filthy black water."

"That's quite good," Luo joked. "At least it taught our captain a lesson: not everything is worth seeing."

"If I had to say, it should be that he taught Yamato," Sirius said with a smile.

Yamato insisted on coming over.

"Sirius!" Yamato pouted.

"Alright, since you both think it's boring,"

Sirius chuckled softly, "Then let's go get something to eat and then head back."

There's really no need to linger here any longer.

The group found a restaurant that looked very luxurious and were seated by a polite waiter.

As is customary, Sirius ordered a table full of dishes, and began to feast after all the dishes were served.

Sirius's eating style was as unrestrained as ever, and Yamato was no less so.

This time, the Ace brothers, a pair of gluttons, were also there, using both hands and stuffing their mouths bulging.

Their table was truly unique in this restaurant.

At the next table, a little boy with a mushroom-shaped haircut and a flat nose turned around, looked at Sirius and the others, then turned back to his father. "Father, these people are so ill-mannered, they don't deserve to live in High Town. Quickly have the guards throw them out! Or,"

A naive smile spread across his face. "Just kill them! This country doesn't need citizens like that."

"Quiet down, Stelly,"

His father, a similarly gentle gentleman, reached out and ruffled his mushroom-shaped hair, saying, "Don't lose your dignity as a nobleman."

The gentleman turned his head and glanced at Sirius and the others. "Don't associate with these lowly people. Someone will take care of them."

Just then, a squad of heavily armed soldiers stormed into the restaurant. The leader of the soldiers immediately spotted Sirius and his men, who were eating and drinking heartily.

He strode forward,

"It's you! You blasphemers who have defiled the dignity of this city!"

"You were prepared to be arrested, weren't you!"

Sirius, with a leg of lamb in his mouth, looked up.

"Ha?"
