Over the next two days, Shalria truly experienced what it was like to be tormented until she could not get out of bed.

Meanwhile, Saint Roswald and Saint Charlos did not dare utter a single word of protest.

The main reason they did not dare speak up was that Luo Chen constantly had Kalifa discipline the two of them.

Whether it was Saint Roswald or Saint Charlos, both secretly swore that once they returned, they would send CP0 and Marine Admirals to capture Luo Chen, that damned human.

They would make Luo Chen experience what real slave life was like, though they did not dare say those words aloud.

On the contrary, Shalria's mindset had begun to change slightly after being tormented by Luo Chen.

Another day passed.

At the Rip-off Bar in Grove 13 of the Sabaody Archipelago.

After finishing his work, Rayleigh returned. The moment he entered, he saw the Straw Hat Pirates all gathered there and said with a smile, "Your ship has been coated. This old man has taken care of it."

"Thank you, Uncle Rayleigh!" Luffy said excitedly, jumping up.

"I'm happy to be able to help you. Besides, this job is very simple for me," Rayleigh replied with a faint smile.

Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Robin, Chopper, Franky, Brook, and the others all smiled as well.

With the ship's coating complete, the Straw Hat Pirates could officially set sail for Fish-Man Island.

At that moment, a man wearing a black hat hurried inside, handed Shakky a newspaper, and quickly ran off again.

Though Shakky had not yet read the paper, she could roughly guess that this was no minor matter. After all, someone from her intelligence network had personally delivered it.

That meant it was urgent.

The instant Shakky opened the newspaper and glanced at it, her eyes widened.

Shakky read aloud, "The Marines will publicly execute Fire Fist Ace, captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division, one week from now."

Luffy, who had been happily eating, froze on the spot, almost wondering if he had heard wrong.

The Straw Hat Pirates knew that Fire Fist Ace was Luffy's brother, so they immediately looked at Luffy with great concern.

Shakky and Rayleigh both noticed that something was wrong.

Nami explained, "Shakky, Rayleigh, Fire Fist Ace, the captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division, is Luffy's brother."

"I see!" Shakky finally understood what was going on.

Shakky continued, "There is also a report about Luo Chen kidnapping the Celestial Dragons. His bounty has been raised to five hundred million Beli."

"However, because Luo Chen kidnapped the Celestial Dragons, the matter of little Luffy beating up a Celestial Dragon has been greatly downplayed. Luo Chen has indirectly drawn some of the heat away from you."

As someone who had been through it all, Rayleigh could naturally tell what Luffy's expression meant at that moment.

Rayleigh took a sip of wine and said, "It seems your trip to Fish-Man Island will have to be delayed."

Luffy clenched his fists and said resolutely, "Everyone, I'm going to rescue Ace."

"Luffy, we already knew you would do this," Sanji replied, a cigarette hanging from his lips.

Zoro did not say anything, but his meaning was obvious: he supported Luffy's decision.

Usopp, Franky, Brook, Chopper, Nami, and Robin all supported Luffy's decision as well.

Luffy smiled. "Thank you, everyone."

At that moment, Nami suddenly remembered something. "Right, I have Luo Chen's Den Den Mushi number. Last time, he said we could ask him for help once if we ever needed it."

"That's right!" Usopp replied, striking his fist against his open palm.

Shakky looked at Rayleigh and said, "Still, the Marines are making a huge move this time! They are determined to force Whitebeard into action."

"Sengoku wants to open a breakthrough in the New World. Defeating Whitebeard would indeed serve as a powerful deterrent to the Pirates." Rayleigh could roughly see Sengoku's objective at a glance.

Since the Straw Hat Pirates had decided to ask Luo Chen for help.

Nami immediately called Luo Chen.

Ten thousand meters in the sky.

Saint Roswald and Saint Charlos were starving to the point that their eyes had rolled back. They were given only one steamed bun and one bottle of water each day.

Even though it had only been three short days, Saint Roswald and Saint Charlos both felt as if every day had lasted a year.

Only Shalria, who was with Luo Chen, was able to enjoy good food and drink.

Luo Chen was reclining in a chair, with Shalria and Pasiya serving him on either side.

As for Kalifa and Tashigi, they were seizing the time to train their Haki.

For the two of them, only by becoming stronger could they truly help Luo Chen.

At that moment, the Den Den Mushi beside him rang!!

Doo doo doo~~

Luo Chen answered it and said, "Moshi moshi, this is Luo Chen."

"Luo Chen, this is Nami. Last time, you said that if the Straw Hat Pirates needed it, you could provide us with one small favor. Does that still count?" Nami asked carefully from the Rip-off Bar in Grove 13 of the Sabaody Archipelago.

She was afraid that Luo Chen might go back on his word, because there would be nothing she could do if he did.

Luo Chen said into the Den Den Mushi, "Of course it counts. Tell me where you are. I'll head over now."

When the Straw Hat Pirates at the Rip-off Bar in Grove 13 of the Sabaody Archipelago heard that Luo Chen was willing to help, they were all overjoyed.

After hanging up.

Luo Chen stood up and said, "Kalifa, Tashigi, the two of you will be responsible for everything on the ship from here on."

"I'm going out to take part in a major battle. I may not return for around a week."

"Understood," Kalifa and Tashigi replied at the same time.

After learning just how powerful Luo Chen was, Kalifa and Tashigi were no longer as worried about his safety.

Pasiya and Shalria, on the other hand, were somewhat reluctant to see Luo Chen leave for several days.
