The next day, under a clear blue sky, in a villa complex, on the second floor of a three-story building, a gray-white rabbit, spread-eagled, was fast asleep, drooling and blinking occasionally.

Suddenly, a large foot kicked out, sending the person flying into the air. The graceful body spun 60 degrees in mid-air before shattering the window and crashing onto the street outside.

Calmly retracting his foot, Ye Chen turned and went down to the second floor. Ye Chen had completely lost face last night.

Because this Dead Rabbit had squandered all of the family's wealth, leaving them unable to even afford food, Ye Chen ended up having to mooch a meal from someone else. That meal left Ye Chen extremely embarrassed, so he decided not to stay in Marineford and instead set sail.

Last night before going to bed, Ye Chen suddenly had a flash of inspiration and remembered the place most likely to know the whereabouts of the Eternal Life Fruit. So he decided to go to sea today and take some living expenses from his family, otherwise he might not even have enough to eat when he came back next time.

Ye Chen originally had a salary, but that Dead Rabbit overspent it, and now he's truly penniless.

Even if he were asked to borrow money or ask Sengoku and others for an advance, Ye Chen wouldn't be so shameless. So, he'd rather rob than lose face.

For some reason, Ye Chen missed the days when Hina was at home; he never had to worry about these things then. Sigh.

The family was facing a financial crisis, but the culprit was sleeping soundly, which annoyed Ye Chen greatly. So, without even uttering a sound, he kicked the idiot out of the house, finding him irritating.

"Bang"

The door was kicked open, Bai Doudou stormed in, one hand on her hip. Upon seeing Ye Chen, she immediately started yelling, "You son of a bitch, having an attack first thing in the morning!"

It wasn't over yet. Ye Chen ignored him and walked past, leaving Bai Doudou stunned.

"Boss, where are you going?!"

Bai Doudou followed in a flash, casually brushing the dust off her clothes.

Ye Chen didn't even bother to reply.

On the Grand Line, through wind and sun, a deck sped by. At the front of the deck, a rabbit lay on its back, legs crossed, munching on a carrot. It turned to the side and complained a little.

"Boss, why don't we find a boat? Going out to sea like this every time is so embarrassing, and it's so boring being exposed to the wind and sun."

Bai Doudou was a little unhappy about the mode of transport. She looked at other naval vessels; they went to sea on warships, equipped with everything imaginable, including soft beds and delicious snacks.

Looking down at what lay beneath him, just a broken plank of wood, without even any wind protection—was this the life a rabbit should live?

Ye Chen remained silent.

"Where are we going?"

Like a chatterbox, Bai Doudou would keep talking even when Ye Chen was silent.

Half an hour an hour

"Oh no, I'm going to die!"

With its tongue lolling out and its ears drooping listlessly behind its head, Bai Doudou lay on the wooden board, even its short tail on its plump rear end looked listless.

Suddenly, a black dot approached from afar and entered Bai Doudou's eyes. The reason he could see it even while lying down was because the ship was very large and was a naval warship.

"Finally, I see the ship, boss. I'm going up first."

Disappearing on the wooden plank, Bai Doudou used her Geppo to dash onto the warship in a flash.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack"

"Calm down, calm down, I am Headquarters Vice Admiral."

Standing at the bow of the boat, Bai Doudou looked at the gun barrels pointed at her all around, pressed her hand down, and scolded like an adult.

"Headquarters Vice Admiral?"

The sailors on deck were all dumbfounded, then stared wide-eyed and asked warily, "A rabbit, daring to impersonate Headquarters Vice Admiral? Vice Admiral Saul, have you ever seen him before?"

Upon hearing the answer, a huge figure yawned, attracting Bai Doudou's attention.

No wonder this ship is so big; it turns out there's a Giants in it. This made Bai Doudou quite curious.

"Haha, rabbit? What rabbit?" As the highest-ranking officer on the ship, Haguwaru d. Saul was very unpretentious. He rubbed his eyes, leaned down slightly, and saw Bai Doudou, who had an arrogant and domineering air about him.

I've never seen it before.

"What? You've never seen it before?" Saul's answer made Bai Doudou very unhappy; he felt he had lost face.

"God, have you heard? He's my brother."

With his hands on his hips and an arrogant expression, anyone who didn't know better would think he was the only one talking.

It has to be said that the word "God" really does have a certain influence. Bai Doudou's surprising words stunned the entire navy on the deck, even Saul was taken aback.

"I remember now, could you be that Rogue Rabbit next to God?" a navy officer suddenly shouted.

Bai Doudou gave the other person a "you know what's good for you" look.

Just then, Ye Chen appeared silently behind Bai Doudou, immediately attracting everyone's attention.

"It really is Vice Admiral God! I've seen him in person!"

"Vice Admiral Haguvaru d. Saul." As soon as Ye Chen appeared, he took a liking to the enormous creature on the giant ship. In Marineford, the navy of the Giants was not large, and only a handful could reach the rank of Vice Admiral. Coincidentally, Ye Chen had met Haguvaru once before, so he recognized him.

However, although we had met, we had never spoken; we were just strangers who passed each other by.

Vice Admiral Ye Chen

An hour later.

In the galley of the warship, Ye Chen slowly ate the food in front of him, while next to him, a rabbit was wolfing down its food, its plate already piled up as high as a person.

Outside the gate, many sailors watched, whispering amongst themselves.

"Is that God? I didn't expect him to be so young. Just as the rumors say."

Some of the naval personnel looked on with admiration; some of them had only ever seen these important figures in news reports, and this was their first time encountering them so closely.

"It is said that God saved Fleet Admiral Kong, Vice Admiral Akainu, and Vice Admiral Kizaru during the Red the Aloof Incident, but as a result, his left eye lost its light and has not yet recovered." A Marine sighed, somewhat saddened.

"I've never heard of this before. Could it be that Red the Aloof, who's on par with the One Piece?"

"Nonsense."

"Where did you get this information from?"

"It's just a rumor, nothing to worry about."

"What else? Tell us everything."

"You know the fighting champion, Zizas Burgess!"

"I know, that's a notorious pirate with a bounty of 370 million."

"A great pirate? He was captured Vice Admiral God and is still in Impel Down."

"There's also the Corrupt King Avalo Pizarro, with a bounty of 350 million, and the fleets of many Flying Pirates."

"And the Rogue Rabbit beside God."

Ye Chen's arrival enlivened the atmosphere on the entire ship.

Many naval personnel, divided into groups, were engaged in heated discussions.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the restaurant was incredibly harmonious. As the host, Saul accompanied Ye Chen, and bursts of hearty laughter could be heard from time to time.

However, the smiles were all Saul's, because Ye Chen always kept a blank expression.

Of course, except for that Dead Rabbit.
