Pirate: Nami! Give me back my Berry!

Ling Yan and Bai Xing rode on the flame cloud, passed through the clouds, and rushed towards the new sky island.

Bai Xing gently hugged Ling Yan, feeling the wind whistling past her ears, her heart full of anticipation, this was the taste of freedom.

"Lord Ling Yan, is there anything magical on New Sky Island?" Bai Xing asked softly with his eyes lowered, curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

Ling Yan smiled slightly, opened his eyes, and looked at Bai Xing's clear eyes:

"A magical place? There are many. It is not only the scientific research base of our dream expedition team..."

……

The two of them asked and answered each other in this way, and Ling Yan controlled the platinum-colored flame cloud and quickly returned to the New Sky Island.

He went straight to York's laboratory without disturbing anyone.

When Ling Yan and Bai Xing arrived at the platform outside the laboratory carrying Blackbeard, who was still unconscious and had lost his limbs, York was holding a test report with an excited smile on his face.

"Ling Yan? Why are you back?" York walked forward quickly, his eyes gleaming with excitement, "I just completed a new research, which will definitely be useful for future space navigation..."

"That's great!" Ling Yan nodded, "But I have more important things to do now, let's go to the laboratory first..."

"More important things?" York was stunned, and then he saw the more than ten-meter-high white star next to him, and the "weirdo" in Ling Yan's hand.

Ling Yan nodded, and then several people walked into the laboratory.

Ling Yan placed Blackbeard on the experimental table: "York, I need you to do me a favor. I want you to extract the devil fruit ability from Blackbeard."

There was a flash of surprise in York's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure: "Stripping away the power of a devil fruit? This is not an easy task, but it is not impossible."

She walked over to Blackbeard and began to examine his body: "Huh? This guy's body structure is a bit special. This is the first time I have seen such a magical human structure."

Ling Yan nodded: "He is indeed a little strange, York, I'll leave it to you. This technology is very important to us."

Vegapunk smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will do my best. However, this technology still needs a lot of experiments and data support, which may take some time."

Ling Yan patted Vegapunk on the shoulder: "Time is not a problem, what matters is the result. I believe in you."

----

In Impel Down, Garp, Akainu, and Dragon were discussing how to deal with the pirates who were re-imprisoned. Dragon suggested: "Since Ling Yan has already gone to find Vegapunk, why don't we go back to Marinford for the time being and wait for news from him."

Akainu nodded: "We have to keep some people in Advance City, let Kuzan stay here to assist Magellan..."

Karp stood up and stretched:

"Okay, I'll leave these things to you. My old bones can't stand the tossing and turning."

With that, he turned and left the medical room, leaving Akainu and Dragon looking at each other.

Dorag looked at Garp's departing back and sighed, "The old man is still the same, always pushing things onto us."

Akainu sneered:

"Used to it.

However, this matter does require us to take it seriously.

If Vegapunk can really develop the technology to peel off devil fruits, our power will be greatly enhanced."

Dorag nodded: "That's right, but we must ensure that this technology is not abused, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Akainu clenched his fists, with a gleam of determination in his eyes: "No matter what, I will protect the justice of this sea."

Dorag smiled slightly: "Then let us work together."

----

Ling Yan did not stay in Sky Island for long. After handing the matter over to York, he took Shirahoshi to tour Sky Island and then returned to the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Lord Ling Yan, can Bai Xing go with you to sail?" On the way back, Bai Xing suddenly asked, looking at Ling Yan expectantly with his beautiful big eyes.

"Well... Shirahoshi, I'm afraid that won't work, but... if you miss us, you can ask the sea king to bring you to us." Ling Yan tactfully rejected Shirahoshi.

When Bai Xing heard that Ling Yan did not agree, she felt a little disappointed at first, but when she heard that she could go to Ling Yan at any time, she became happy again.

"Okay... Shirahoshi got it." Shirahoshi said obediently.

Since Master Ling Yan didn't agree to let her go sailing with him, then... I'll just go every three days. Two days would be fine too...

Bai Xing thought so in his heart.

----

After returning to the Sabaody Archipelago, Shirahoshi reluctantly let go of Ling Yan, and soon started playing with Nami and the others.

Ling Yan took his "little tail" Ling Ji to Island No. 13, Xia Qi's extortion bar.

After returning from Raftel, Rayleigh found that his family was broken up!

Xia Qi actually returned to Nine Snake Island!

"Brother Ling Yan, look, my happy life in my later years is gone." Rayleigh said with some resentment.

“Ahahahaha…” Ling Yan chuckled as he looked at the quiet bar. “Didn’t Xia Qi say that she would come to see you every one or two months?”

"Alas... let's not talk about this. I'm a little confused. Why didn't you go to space?" Rayleigh looked at Ling Yan curiously.

Since the appearance of space pirates, the Red Hair Pirates no longer need to persuade the pirates in the New World, but directly joined the World Government's space fleet.

Compared with sailing on the blue planet, the vast universe is obviously more attractive. If he were not old, he would want to give it another try.

But now, the Dream Expedition Team, which possesses the world's most advanced technology, has stayed on Blue Star to continue completing the world map here.

Although drawing a world map is important, it is actually very easy to accomplish with the technology that Blue Star currently has.

But the dream expedition team still insisted on continuing...

Not only Rayleigh, some people on the sea also felt something strange.

"This is our dream. Even though it can be accomplished quickly with the help of technology, it is still different from what we measured with our own hands, especially the sense of accomplishment..." Ling Yan talked freely.

Ling Ji didn't say anything, but leaned against Ling Yan obediently, drinking a drink in her hand, and occasionally passed it to Ling Yan to take a sip.

For some reason, ever since she came to the Sabaody Archipelago, she had been feeling a little strange and easily irritated.

But as long as she stayed with Ling Yan, that feeling disappeared. Ling Yan just thought that Ling Ji said that because she wanted to stay with him.

……

In the waters near the Sabaody Archipelago, the Perfume Serpent was speeding towards the Sabaody Archipelago, dragged by two sea king serpents.

Empress Hancock was standing excitedly at the bow, looking towards the Sabaody Archipelago.
