Sabaody Archipelago, located in the middle of the Red Line,
is formed by 79 giant trees, each marked with a number.
Among them grows the world's largest red tree—Yarukiman Mangrove.
Each of these 79 trees hosts towns and facilities on their trunks and roots,
and collectively they are referred to as the Sabaody Archipelago.
The zones are clearly divided based on their tree numbers:
Islands 1 to 29: Black market area, including human trafficking houses.
30 to 39: Amusement parks.
40 to 49: Tourist district with local specialties.
50 to 59: Shipyards and coating specialists.
60 to 69: Marine and government zone.
70 to 79: Hotel and commercial district.
Among them, the area closest to Marine Headquarters is also home to numerous Celestial Dragons,
who exert their rule and often reside there.
Sabaody's most unique trait lies in the Yarukiman Mangrove's root system,
which breathes and secretes a natural resin.
This resin inflates into bubbles that float up into the sky.
However, these bubbles are only stable within Sabaody's climate range—
once they leave it, they burst due to atmospheric differences.
Bubble cars, bubble Ferris wheels, and even homes built atop bubbles...
This "bubble culture" permeates every part of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Though Sabaody boasts a unique culture,
it is also the final waypoint before entering the second half of the Grand Line—
known as The New World.
As such, it's a place teeming with chaos:
Marines, pirates, bandits, bounty hunters—all can be found here.
This time, Ye Chen had come to Sabaody for one reason—
to fence the treasure looted from Celestial Gold's ship.
The only place to offlsuch illicit goods was within Islands 1 to 29,
areas the Celestial Dragons had effectively designated for unlawful dealings.
Island No. 8, in front of the No.76 Auction House.
A teenage boy with an ordinary outfit and a snake-like creature curled around his neck
stood in front of the building.
This boy was none other than Ye Chen.
"No.76 Auction House... this should be it,"
Ye Chen muttered, rubbing his chin as he glanced at the giant "76" symbol flying on the auction house banner.
No.76 was the largest auction house on Sabaody Archipelago.
It was also the biggest human trafficking ring in the region,
run under the banner of the Celestial Dragons themselves.
In short, this was one of the World Government's shadowy operations.
"A so-called government of justice, secretly raising slavers...
what a joke,"
Ye Chen's eyes flashed with scorn.
Still, considering Celestial Gold had blatantly abducted people in brdaylight,
a human trafficking ring behind the scenes wasn't all that surprising.
Granny Zha, however, had not recommended No.76.
She had pointed Ye Chen to another auction house, one backed by a Great Pirate from The New World.
She knew that if the loot from Celestial Gold was handed over to No.76,
they'd instantly recognize it.
But Ye Chen had his own reasons for coming to No.76.
Since he wanted to make a big splash,
he wasn't afraid of the Celestial Dragons finding out.
In fact, he figured they'd never suspect that
after robbing them once,
he'd come right into their own backyard to fence the stolen goods.
Such arrogance? Only Ye Chen would dare.
Inside the No.76 Auction House,
a middle-aged man in his forties sat on a chair, looking at Ye Chen with mild confusion.
He had been told a VIP was arriving—
yet the person in front of him was just a kid.
Though suspicious, the man still asked politely:
"What do you wish to sell?"
"How much can your place handle?"
Ye Chen asked calmly.
The man straightened with pride.
"As much as you've got—we can handle it all."
"Good."
Ye Chen nodded and patted the creature on his neck.
"Little Sky, spit it out."
Little Sky, wrapped lazily around Ye Chen's neck, slowly opened its eyes.
It raised its head and opened its mouth,
revealing a swirling black void inside.
In an instant—
mountains of gold, jewels, and priceless artifacts came pouring out,
crashing onto the ground in a thunderous cascade.
Clatter. Clang. Boom.
The wealth flooded the room like a tidal wave.
Within moments, the entire chamber was filled with treasure.
The middle-aged man stood there with his jaw dropped,
his face a mask of shock and disbelief.
He had served as a valuation specialist for No.76 Auction House for over a decade,
but never had he seen such a spectacle.
"A Spatial Devil Fruit user?"
he wondered silently.
"Go ahead and appraise them."
Ye Chen's expression remained calm.
He had grown used to this kind of reaction.
He himself had been just as stunned the first time he discovered Little Sky's abilities.
Originally, he thought Little Sky's power was limited to Thunder Summon Orb.
But as one of the Three Gods of the Duel Monsters World,
there was no way Osiris the Sky Dragon would be that simple.
To fully unlock Little Sky's powers,
Ye Chen had paid two Devil Fruits to the system for the knowledge.
"The Crown of Lance Kingdom…"
"King's Sword of Merlin Kingdom… Wait, these..."
As the man identified piece after piece of the loot,
his face grew more and more serious.
"These are all tribute items from Celestial Gold's cargo…"
He gasped sharply,
his mind finally connecting the dots.
Could the young man before him be the one who destroyed Celestial Gold?
The one they're calling... Dragon Knight Ye Chen?
