At noon, more than two hours later.
The Straw Hat Pirates arrived at Island 41 of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Straw Hat Luffy raised both hands and said excitedly, "Great! We finally made it to the Sabaody Archipelago!"
Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates smiled. They were all very happy as well.
Hatchan said seriously, "Everyone, there's something I have to tell you. It's extremely important."
At Hatchan's words, everyone put away their smiles, including Straw Hat Luffy.
Pappag and Camie were the same! After all, the two of them knew more about the Sabaody Archipelago than the Straw Hat Pirates did.
Hatchan took a deep breath and said, "On this Sabaody Archipelago, there's a group of people you absolutely must not offend."
"Even if they kill someone right in front of you, it's the same. They are the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons."
"Celestial Dragons?" Straw Hat Luffy wore a confused expression. What the hell were Celestial Dragons?
Sanji smoked a cigarette and said, "Looks like this place is close to Marine Headquarters. There's darkness here too."
"Indeed," Robin said with a dark smile.
"So scary." Usopp, Chopper, and Brook all looked frightened.
Hatchan continued, "In short, just don't provoke the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons."
"Then we just need to avoid those World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons, right?" Franky added.
Franky's suggestion was immediately approved by the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates.
Luffy, on the other hand, laughed happily. "Hahaha! Forget it, let's go play at the amusement park! What do you say?"
Soon, Luffy, Chopper, Brook, Robin, Nami, Pappag, Camie, and Hatchan—eight people in total—headed for the amusement park together.
Meanwhile, Zoro went off on his own.
Only Usopp, Sanji, and Franky remained aboard the Straw Hats' ship.
At the same time, Kalifa and Tashigi had also bought quite a few things and placed them on a bubble cart.
Kalifa sighed. "What a shame Luo Chen didn't come with us. There are so many fun places here!!"
"What's that?" Tashigi had been about to answer Kalifa, but then she spotted a group of people.
Kalifa looked in the direction Tashigi was watching. The moment she saw them, she frowned. "The Straw Hat Pirates... and Nico Robin."
The instant Kalifa saw the Straw Hat Pirates, unpleasant memories came flooding back.
Back when they had captured Nico Robin, the Straw Hat Pirates had ruined everything!!
That had also caused CP9 to be abandoned by the World Government, leaving them to end up on the streets.
As Kalifa and Tashigi spotted several members of the Straw Hat Pirates,
Luffy, Robin, Nami, and Chopper also noticed Kalifa and Tashigi.
Luffy immediately pointed at Kalifa in surprise. "CP9?? Why are you here? And where's that pigeon guy?"
Brook had joined later, so he did not know Kalifa or Tashigi.
Meanwhile, Chopper and Robin only knew Kalifa, not Tashigi.
As for Hatchan, Pappag, and Camie, they knew neither of them.
Camie asked curiously, "Luffy, do you know those two women over there?"
"No. More accurately, they should be enemies," Robin replied, her expression very unpleasant.
She had not expected to run into CP9 again on the Sabaody Archipelago. Robin found the outcome very unsettling.
Nami also stared fixedly at Kalifa. Back on Enies Lobby, she had fought hard to defeat that woman.
Nami pulled out her Clima-Tact and said, "Since we've run into each other, let's settle this with a fight."
"Wait, we're no longer enemies. I'm not a member of CP9 anymore either," Kalifa hurriedly stopped her.
After Kalifa said that, Luffy and the others did indeed stop what they were doing and waited for her further explanation.
Seeing them stop, Kalifa breathed a sigh of relief. If a fight really broke out,
she and Tashigi would have no way to handle it.
Robin quickly asked, "Then what exactly happened to your CP9??"
Robin was deeply concerned about this matter now. After all, the Sabaody Archipelago was far too close to Marine Headquarters and the World Government.
Afterward, Kalifa patiently explained what had happened to them.
Of course, she concealed some of the information concerning Luo Chen.
She claimed that the former members of CP9 had all been hunted down, and that she had barely survived. Naturally, she placed the blame on the World Government.
They had indeed been hunted by the World Government in the first place.
Only Tashigi felt that Kalifa could lie without even changing her expression. If Tashigi had tried to lie herself, she would definitely have given herself away immediately.
Following Kalifa's explanation, Luffy, Robin, Nami, Brook, Chopper, Hatchan, Pappag, Camie, and the others all understood what had happened.
Luffy still seemed not to have fully processed it. "So, we're not enemies anymore, right??"
"Wait, Luffy. That's not entirely true. They're Pirates now too. Since they're Pirates, there will surely come a day when we become enemies," Robin said much more cautiously.
Nami said incredulously, "Still, your captain Luo Chen is really strange. One of his crew members used to be a Marine sergeant, and another was a former CP9 member."
Brook smiled. "Perhaps their captain, Luo Chen, is also a very interesting person?"
"Then, Miss Kalifa, Miss Tashigi, may I see your panties?"
"You bastard, don't embarrass us." Nami immediately jumped up and punched Brook.
