From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

At this moment, everyone present firmly believed in the existence of Sky Island, otherwise the source of the bell sound could not be explained.

People looked up at the airship, their hearts full of anticipation.

People are fascinated by the paradise-like country and magnificent scenery depicted by the Umbrella Group.

Some people are looking forward to it, and of course some people are dismissive.

The existence of Sky Island is not a secret, it’s just that ordinary people don’t know about it.

After the first group of tourists entered the sky island, people were surprised to find that the tentacles of the [Netherlands Kingdom] had extended into the sky.

Such important news was passed back to various forces.

However, it's too late.

Morgans, who has always maintained good cooperation with the Kingdom of the Netherlands, took this popular opportunity at the first opportunity.

As soon as the news was released, it caused a sensation.

People have rediscovered the power of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

[Five Elders] have lost their temper countless times while watching the news and listening to reports from their subordinates.

If it weren't for the overall situation, they really wanted to send the [Knights of God] to bring divine punishment to the [Kingdom of the Netherlands].

Especially when they saw the people of Sky Island calling themselves the "Kingdom of God", veins on the foreheads of the [Five Elder Stars] were throbbing, and they wished they could use the [Demon Slaying Order] on Sky Island.

Regardless, Sky Island's first debut was very successful.

Since then, there has been an endless stream of tourists coming to Sky Island, and the economy of Sky Island has flourished.

Just when Sky Island tourism was booming, Xia Jieren quietly left the [Kingdom of the Netherlands].

Xia Jieren and dozens of others boarded a small double-track sailboat, passed through the [Red Soil Continental Tunnel], and entered the [South China Sea].

Afterwards, Xia Jieren and others entered the [calm belt]

Soon, everyone saw a uniquely shaped island with dense jungle and lush greenery, and several towering mountains.

Around the huge mountain in the center of the island, there are two huge stone sculptures in the shape of snakes. On the steep and flat cliff of the mountain, the word "Nine Snakes" is written in large letters.

That’s right! This is Xia Jieren’s destination, Nine Snake Island, also known as “Amazon Lily” or “Daughter Island”.

Xia Jieren's purpose of coming here is very simple - to win over Boa Hancock, and also to satisfy his own little curiosity.

As soon as Xia Jieren and others' boat appeared, a rapid alarm sounded on [Nine Snake Island].

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack!"

"A ship is flying from the sky!"

"..."

Although it sounds incredible, the excellent combat skills allowed the warriors of Nine Snake Island to act quickly.

Hundreds of "naked" soldiers drew their bows and arrows at Xia Jieren and others.

"shooting!"

With a command, thousands of arrows were fired.

Xia Jieren stood at the bow, looking at the arrows flying in the sky calmly.

In an instant, an [Air Gate] appeared out of thin air, and hundreds of arrows disappeared into it.

"Keep shooting!" The captain of the soldiers' face changed slightly, and he continued to give orders loudly.

At this moment, Xia Jieren shouted loudly: "We have no ill intentions. We came here today specifically to ask to see the King of [Nine Snake Island]."

The soldiers were busy attacking and didn't pay attention to Xia Jieren and others. Xia Jieren took the initiative to speak and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Man? It's a man!"

When the soldiers who had been out to sea saw the faces of Xia Jieren and others, their expressions changed slightly.

"Hey~, this is a man? He looks so strong!" More soldiers looked at Xia Jieren and others curiously, chattering about them like larks.

"Lord Hancock, you can't just meet him casually!" The leading soldier snorted coldly, wanting to order the others to continue the attack.

"Stop!" Xia Jieren hurriedly spoke out to stop him.

What a joke! He didn't come all this way here to fight.

Xia Jieren introduced himself: "I am the prince of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and I have come here specifically to seek an alliance with the Kingdom of Amazon Lily."

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands? Such a familiar name! I seem to have heard it somewhere before!"

"Me too! Where exactly is it?"

"The Kingdom of the Netherlands... I remember now! It seems to be a powerful country in the outer sea, competing with the World Government."

"Is this true? That's the World Government!"

"of course it's true!"

"Is the Kingdom of the Netherlands strong?"

"..."

The soldiers talked a lot.

The leading warrior had obviously heard of the name of the [Kingdom of the Netherlands] and hesitantly put down his bow and arrow, but still stared at Xia Jieren and others vigilantly.

Seeing this, Xia Jieren breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately there was no fight!"

When Xia Jieren wanted to say something, a nimble old lady jumped out from somewhere.

"Are you really the Prince of the Kingdom of the Netherlands?" She asked uncertainly, eyes wide open.

After Xia Jieren saw the person clearly, he immediately recognized her identity. The person was the benefactor of the three Hancock sisters - Granny New.

"Guaranteed genuine!" Xia Jieren smiled and nodded to her, being very polite.

Granny New pulled out a dozen bounty warrants from somewhere and flipped through them quickly.

"Got it!" Grandma Niu's eyes lit up. She took out the bounty order, looked at it, then looked at Xia Jieren, comparing them back and forth.

Seeing what Granny New was doing, Xia Jieren's mouth twitched, and he thought to himself, "There's such a huge difference between me and that ugly bounty order, can you really tell the difference?"

Thinking of the malicious slander of the World Government, Xia Jieren felt unhappy. He made up his mind to take revenge on the World Government when he returned.

Afterwards, Grandma New compared the appearance of Gate and Ariely before she believed what Xia Jieren said.

It's no wonder she is so cautious. Nine Snake Island is too weak in front of the World Government and the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In order to survive, it has to act with caution.

Granny New put away the bounty order and said seriously, "You want to see Snake Princess, right? Come with me!"

"Grandma Niu?" The others looked at Grandma Niu in confusion, not understanding why she made such a decision. You know, men are not allowed to go on the island, but this is the rule of [Nine Snake Island]. And Grandma Niu is a staunch guardian of these old rules. Why is she like a different person today?

The warrior captain stepped forward and tried to stop it.

But the next second, Granny New raised her hand to stop her and said, "Do as I say, and I will bear all the consequences!"

Granny New was very serious when she said this.

Seeing this, no one could stop him.

Granny New is an old antique who has lived for who knows how many generations. She has a high status in the Nine Snake Island, second only to Boa Hancock and others.

Not long after.

The news that a man had landed on the island swept across [Nine Snakes Island] like a hurricane.

Countless Nine Snake warriors stood on both sides of the road, watching Xia Jieren and others.

Gate and the others had no expression on their faces, but Xia Jieren greeted everyone enthusiastically. People who didn't know would think that the Nine Snake Warriors were all his fans.

Mother-in-law Niu was a little surprised by Xia Jieren's behavior.
