Pirate: Starting by Refusing Red-Hair's Invitation

"Sure." Lin Mo saw nothing wrong with Kaku's suggestion. "You and Enel go."

"Wait!" Enel protested. "You're not coming with us?"

Lin Mo shook his head, then looked at Kaku. "Keep an eye on Enel."

The Sabaody Archipelago was the only route to the New World, so pirates, merchants, and bounty hunters gathered there in droves. It was also a place the Celestial Dragons, residents of the Holy Land Mary Geoise, visited often.

The Holy Land Mary Geoise was the seat of the World Government, perched atop the Red Line behind the Sabaody Archipelago.

The Celestial Dragons were descendants of the twenty kings who had founded the World Government eight hundred years ago. Calling themselves "descendants of the creators," they considered themselves too noble to breathe the same air as ordinary people and wore bubble helmets over their heads.

The Celestial Dragons liked to enslave people of other races and enjoyed every privilege. If anyone offended them, a Marine Admiral had to be dispatched to protect them.

So no matter how vile the Celestial Dragons were or how outrageously they abused their power in the Sabaody Archipelago, their actions were legal.

Lin Mo knew about the Celestial Dragons, of course. Enel didn't. With his temper, Enel could easily cause trouble on Sabaody.

Lin Mo hadn't come here to fight the Celestial Dragons or the Marines...

To avoid unnecessary trouble, and because he didn't want to watch Enel himself, Lin Mo decided to leave the job to Kaku, who knew something about Sabaody.

Kaku guessed what Lin Mo had in mind and shrugged. "Fine. I'll keep an eye on him, provided he listens to me..."

"Enel." Lin Mo glanced at him.

"Keep an eye on me?" Enel snapped. "Why? You think I'll cause trouble? Hey, do neither of you trust me?
