The Results of a Partner's Cultivation (Part 2)

Sabaody Archipelago, Mangrove Zone 33, Sabaody Amusement Paradise.

Wearing a painter's hat that covered her eyes, Mikuru strolled through the crowd, licking the ice cream in her hand. Suddenly, as if noticing something, she looked up at the sky with a puzzled expression. "Thundercloud are gathering in the sky at six o'clock... and they're moving this way. What's going on...? The climate of the Yarukiman Mangrove on this island shouldn't be affected by the outside world..."

Confused, she looked at the crowd around her and shouted, "Listen up, everyone! A huge Raiu is about to hit this area. You'd better get out of here immediately!"

The noisy surroundings suddenly quieted down. Among the crowd were fathers with their children, burly men responsible for security at the amusement Paradise, and workers who had finally had a chance to relax after a long period of busy work. They stopped and their eyes fell on Mikuru.

"What is this little girl saying... I've never heard of anyone seeing Raiu in Sabaody!"

"Haha, this woman's voice sounds quite young, but could she be an idiot?"

"Are you kidding me? I paid for my ticket to get in. You think I can leave? No way!"

No one paid any attention to Mikuru's warning and continued walking forward carelessly. They couldn't believe that Sabaody Archipelago would have such terrible weather; it was as ridiculous as the sky falling down!

"Hmm..." Mikuru hesitated for a moment, then lowered his hat brim and quickly walked out of the Sabaody Archipelago Paradise. "Alright, do whatever you want from now on. I've already warned you!"

Just as she stepped out of the gates of Sabaody Paradise, an urgent announcement came over the Paradise: "Thundercloud alert detected! All visitors are to evacuate Sabaody Paradise immediately. Again, everyone, please evacuate Sabaody Paradise immediately!"

"Hey, what's going on!"

"What Thundercloud... Could it be some kind of recent amusement Paradise event?"

"Could it really be...?"

Before the tourists' chatter had even subsided, a deafening roar erupted as a bolt of lightning struck the operating Ferris wheel, instantly creating a massive and magnificent burst of flame!

Immediately, the timid tourists covered their ears and screamed, while the other tourists stood frozen in place. Then, another bolt of lightning struck, blasting a sparsely populated open space into a charred mess. Sparks of Lightning Flash flew everywhere, and several tourists injured by the aftershocks of the lightning lay unconscious on the ground, their bodies convulsing.

The terrifying lightning strike instantly threw the entire amusement Paradise into chaos, filling the air with panic and shouts of anger. The crowds trying to escape the Paradise made the rescue efforts of the security personnel even more difficult.

"It shouldn't be a natural cloud, it's man-made..." Mikuru glanced back one last time, then turned and quickly drove away. "I still need to go back and talk to the intelligence officer about this, maybe she knows something..."

Sabaody Archipelago, Mangrove District 23, People's Street.

"Make way, everyone! There's been an accident at Sabaody Paradise, and we need to rush to the scene to treat the injured! Please make way!"

Doctors in white coats and their accompanying nurses strode forward, anxiously shouting as they tried to clear the crowd and speed up their advance.

This is Dr. Nelson, a doctor at a small clinic. After receiving a call from the logistics department of Sabaody Paradise, he immediately packed his medical kit and rushed over. As a doctor, he is kinder than his colleagues. Sometimes, he will treat patients who have no money and ask them for free. This is why, over the years, while other clinics have grown bigger and bigger, he has remained a small clinic.

The ordinary people walking on the street looked at the medical team with surprise, and then obediently stepped aside, while whispering and speculating about what might happen at the Sabaody amusement Paradise.

"Thank you everyone, thank you everyone!" Nelson thanked them repeatedly and quickened his pace toward the amusement Paradise. However, he had only taken a few steps when the crowd in front of him began to block his way again. Just as he was about to speak, he saw everyone in front of him kneel down and step aside.

Nelson's heart skipped a beat. Having lived on Sabaody Archipelago for so long, he could only imagine what had happened... It was Celestial Dragons!

Thinking of the wounded who were still struggling in pain and could die at any moment, he couldn't bear to delay any longer. However, if he didn't kneel before the Celestial Dragons, he might be killed. Just as he was hesitating, the Celestial Dragons wearing a bubble hood appeared in his field of vision!

"Doctor!"

The nurse behind him hurriedly tugged at the doctor's sleeve. The young intern had no intention of offending the Celestial Dragons was above the law, and quickly knelt on the ground.

In an instant, only Nelson stood out from the crowd in the middle of the street.

"You lowly commoner, how dare you still stand there? Are you tired of living?" The Celestial Dragons Saint Charlos strode over, frowning, his face showing a very displeased expression.

"...!"

Nelson immediately realized what was happening. Seeing the Celestial Dragons less than twenty meters away, his heart sank, and he instinctively knelt on the ground. "I... I'm sorry!"

"What..." Saint Charlos walked over. "Are you saying sorry...?"

"I..." Nelson only managed to utter one word before he was kicked in the face, his body flying two meters away. He struggled to his feet, half-kneeling and half-prone, his cheek burning with pain.

Saint Charlos kicked Nelson repeatedly in the ribs, yelling, "You lowly commoner, how dare you block the way! Die!"

In the blink of an eye, Nelson was kicked so hard that blood spilled from his mouth, and he looked pained. He knew he couldn't fight back, because if he did, he would be killed. But with one of the most vulnerable parts of the human body being kicked, his consciousness began to blur.

"A lowly person is a lowly person, their vitality is as tenacious as those damned insects. Fine, I'll spare you today!" Saint Charlos glanced at Nelson and continued walking forward.

"Doctor...!" The nurse who was following her covered her mouth, her body trembling with fear.

Hidden in the shadows of houses along the roadside, several pirates whispered among themselves, "So these are the Celestial Dragons. The world is controlled by scum like them... Compared to them, what we've done is child's play!"

"Hehe, what if I killed that Celestial Dragons here...? Listen to that, isn't that an exciting idea?"

"Enough! Stop messing around! If you kill Celestial Dragons, Marine Admiral will come. Do you want to die here?!"

"Then there's nothing we can do... After all, that's our top combat strength!"

As the pirates were talking, a voice suddenly came from the side, "Interesting... The Celestial Dragons are the gods of the Blue Sea, aren't they?"

The group immediately turned their heads warily and saw a figure casually sitting in a wooden tub, one leg propped up on the tub, his right hand resting on his knee, a banana in his mouth, chewing it slowly.

The pirates took a few steps back in surprise. "You are...!"

"Answer my question, Blue Sea People..."

At that moment, a figure peeked out from the shadows on the other side of the road. She scanned the surroundings, taking in the situation, and murmured, "It's those Celestial Dragons again, but this time there's a new guy... Enel, with a bounty of 95 million Beli."

An hour later, on Sabaody Archipelago, in Mangrove Zone 13, Shakky's Rip-off Bar.

The bar door was slowly pushed open, letting in a ray of sunlight. Several figures strolled in. "Sister Xia!"

Shakky was carrying a man with blood streaming down his forehead and his eyes rolling back in his head. She glanced at the group of people at the door and smiled, "Yo~ Buggy, you're all back."

As she spoke, she walked towards the door, then casually tossed the man she was carrying out like trash. She dusted off her hands and asked, "Where's Rayleigh? Didn't he go to pick you up?"

"Mr. Rayleigh ..." Buggy SMILE, "He got separated from us along the way."

"Get separated?" Shakky exhaled a smoke ring. "Buggy, next time please come up with a more thoughtful excuse."

Buggy shrugged. "Mr. Rayleigh doesn't want to come back, and there's nothing I can do about it. I can't exactly kidnap him, can I? I'm no match for him..."

"I know, he's always like this..." Shakky didn't continue the discussion on this topic. "I've also met your friends recently; they're all quite interesting guys. I heard that Lilina has contacted them, and they should be here soon."

"Indeed...they're some interesting guys," Buggy said. "Well then, we'll wait here."

Shakky said, "Then I'll go prepare some food first. You haven't seen each other for so long, you should have a feast to celebrate your reunion!"

Buggy didn't refuse Shakky's offer. "Shuma, you should go help Shakky too. It's time to show off your cooking skills!"

"Got it, Buggy!" Shuma said, following behind Shakky and calling out as he went, "I'll help too!"

As time passed, the friends gradually arrived at the bar. Kaya was the first to arrive, her face beaming with the joy of reunion, yet she remained impeccably polite. "Uncle Buggy, you're finally back! We haven't seen each other in so long!"

"Haha!" Buggy laughed, "Kaya, you've become even more beautiful!"

The second to arrive was Cabaji. He walked in with his usual gloomy face, looking like a complete scoundrel. However, when he saw his captain, his expression brightened, and he spoke respectfully and excitedly, "Captain Buggy!"

Buggy replied, "Yeah! I'm back!"

The moment Cabaji saw Mohji, his joyful expression instantly turned to disdain, and he deliberately drawled out the last syllable, "Mohji ~~"

"Hey!" Mohji retorted defiantly, "One-Eye Hotel! I can read it in your eyes, you want to fight me, Grandpa Mohji, right!"

"There's no need for that anymore." Cabaji raised an eyebrow, smugly pulled out a bounty poster, waved it in front of Mohji, then put it away, sighing, "Ah, it's unnecessary now..."

"What...!" Mohji growled, "Stop trying to be mysterious!"

"My bounty is three times higher than yours, you white-haired monster!"

"So what if it's three times? Is that so great!"

Seeing the intense sparks fly between them again, Buggy shook his head and smiled helplessly. Even after so long apart, their relationship was still so good...

The third one to arrive was Mikuru. As soon as she came in, she shouted, "Shutaro, Shutaro, Shutaro, where are you? I want to eat grilled fish!"

Buggy sighed and said, "Besides worrying about food, perhaps you could also care about other things, little cat!"

Mikuru reached out and pinched Buggy's nose. "Still thinking about your Red Nose?"

"Don't joke about this!"

"Tch, so stingy!"

The fourth to arrive was Lilina, who looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Everyone's back!"

Buggy chuckled, "Looks like there are still some dogs that haven't come over yet."

"It..." Lilina said, "It said it's not coming over; it wants to stay on the ship. It seems to be fiddling with something."

"That's true..." Buggy rubbed his forehead. "It's not good if no one watches the ship; we'll just have to make do with it..."

Lilina said, "What's there for it to feel aggrieved about... But it seems that some human traffickers tried to capture it and auction it off, and then that criminal group was wiped out by Cabaji..."

"Yeah..."

"Buggy's friends all here?" Shakky asked casually, bringing over a plate full of food. "What are you talking about?"

Then Shuma came out with a plate of roast suckling pig. "Delicious food has arrived!"

Then, the group laid out a large tablecloth on the floor, placed all the food on it, and sat down cross-legged. Shakky flipped the sign at the bar entrance to the "Closed" side, took out a case of liquor from the cabinet, and said to everyone, "Enjoy the feast tonight! Speaking of which, seeing you all so happy together reminds me of my days as a pirate at sea... Alright, I'm going back to rest now. You guys are in charge of the bar. If anything goes missing, I'll hold you accountable!"

After saying that, she waved her hand to stop Buggy from saying anything more, and walked straight towards the back room.

Buggy could only smile as he watched Shakky's retreating figure, then looked at the uninhibited crowd and said, "Long time no see, everyone, let's relax today!"

Overjoyed, Kaya was persuaded to drink almost half a bottle of wine and immediately became drunk. Her tone turned into that of a mafia boss, "Lilina, fill my glass again! Hey, you guys, especially Buggy... tonight we're not leaving until we're drunk!"

Lilina poured wine into Kaya's glass with a grin, "Kaya, you're the best!"

"Come on!" Cabaji and Mohji clinked glasses, looked at each other, and said in unison, "My drinking capacity hasn't dropped these past few months; you can't possibly be my match."

"So... delicious!" Mikuru exclaimed happily as he munched on the grilled fish. "Shutaro's grilled fish is still the best! I want ten more servings!"

"Good kitty, I'll make you twenty more." Shuma reached out his greasy hand to touch Mikuru's head, but as expected, the latter slapped it away. "Don't touch my head, you'll stunt your growth!"

Lilina picked up two soft, crispy toasts, chewing as she said, "By the way, Buggy, I saw that upstart Enel in Block 23 today..."
