The pirates sat and forgot, and they really believed the nine truths and one lie.

The image of the Sabaody Archipelago appeared on the sky. The pirates were very familiar with this place. It was one of the few places that could bring happiness to people of all classes. Many things could be bought with Bailey. The Navy, the World Government, and the Pirates shared this area.

The welfare system of the future navy system will be improved. Everyone from the navy marshal to the grassroots soldiers will have a vacation ranging from one to ten days. Before the expanded navy meeting was held, Altria Pendragon enjoyed a rare day of vacation without having to bury her head in piles of documents.

"The Chabaoti Archipelago is a great place. You can see all kinds of people here. It's a good place to gain knowledge and gather intelligence."

The Knight King is currently on Island No. 41, which is a relatively peaceful tourist area where one can buy local specialties of various ethnic groups or some exquisite handicrafts.

She was picking things up in front of a small stall with her best friend and subordinate Gion. Since they were not wearing navy uniforms, ordinary people could not recognize their identities. There was a navy admiral accompanying them in the dark, so the navy marshal did not have to worry about his safety. If he wanted to assassinate Altria Pendragon, he had to step over the navy admiral's body first.

“There are so many weird little things, all of them are so cute and ugly”

Gion touched the exhibits on the stalls, which displayed various exquisite wooden, clay and fabric products. Each of them exuded a unique charm, and set off each other to form a colorful picture.

"See what you need, the price is negotiable"

The stall owner was an old woman with pockmarks all over her face, her face covered with deep wrinkles, as if the years had left ruthless marks on her face. Her smile was more difficult to look at than crying, revealing a weird feeling, as if she was an old witch from a fairy tale, enthusiastically selling goods to the two young people.

"Look, Gion, this is the first time I've seen this kind of decoration."

Altria held a red stone in her palm. The stone had the texture of skin, and its surface was rough and uneven, as if it had the texture of human skin.

What is even more shocking is that there are blurry human facial features scattered on the stone, as if they were carved there. The outlines of the eyes, nose and mouth are clearly visible, but they reveal an extremely weird feeling.

"It's a bit weird. Even my observation Haki can't see through it. It's probably the most valuable thing in this stall."

There are many strange things in the sea. Gion has seen too many of them in the Sabaody Archipelago. Things that are hard to describe and in the end nothing happens, let alone any danger.

"Mother-in-law, how much is this stone? I want it."

The two customers with extraordinary conversation might be wealthy pirates or nobles from some place. They are obviously wealthy people with plenty of money. The stall owner is thinking about the price in his mind. He wants 10 Baileys or 100 Baileys. Will such an exorbitant price scare away the customers?

The stall owner found this red stone by chance from the sea, and has kept it on the stall waiting for someone to buy it. However, it took almost half a year before he found an interested customer. He must seize the opportunity and make this no-cost deal!

The old woman raised her right palm and extended two fingers towards the two distinguished guests, "20 Baileys, it cost me a lot to buy this thing, I have to make some money."

Originally, Gion wanted to bargain, but when he saw that the stall owner was missing a thumb on his right palm, and the wound showed that it had been cut off, he was a poor man trying to make a living. He had to set up a stall to make a living at such an old age.

"Give her a gold coin, enough for mother-in-law to live a stable life for a while."

As expected, the Admiral of the Navy was very generous. Without even thinking about bargaining for the 20 Bailey Gion, Altria directly gave the Marshal gold coins. She took out a golden coin from her pocket and slapped it in front of the stall owner, the old lady.

Fearing that the guest might go back on his word, the old woman grabbed the gold coin and examined it carefully. She was afraid of being cheated. In those days, due to inflation, the coin was worthless and many precious metal currencies were counterfeited.

From the weight to the texture, there was no mistake. It was indeed the marshal's gold coins issued by the navy. Soon she was immersed in the joy of receiving the gold coins and did not notice that the two distinguished guests had taken the things and left.

"Too valuable...the person is gone"?

After hiding the gold coins in her underwear pocket, the stall owner raised her head. At this moment, the two distinguished guests were no longer on her stall.

"Oops, I forgot to mention that the stone seems to be alive"

However, the stall owner did not pay much attention to this little episode. She began to pack up her stall and prepare to leave because the woman noticed that there were several malicious eyes looking at her. She would give everything to keep the marshal's gold coins.

The red stone was already in Altria Pendragon's pocket. As for what would happen to the stall owner later, she didn't care too much. Giving away money was already the greatest act of kindness.

In the invisible pocket, one of the red stone's eyes suddenly opened, and its nose protruded slightly, as if it was sniffing the surrounding air, while its mouth was tightly closed, and there seemed to be a faint smile at the corner of its mouth. The stone exuded a mysterious and ominous aura, as if it contained some unknown power, confirming that the destined person had been found, and the gears of fate that had been turning for thousands of years finally began to turn.

The two women stayed in the Sabaody Archipelago for a morning, and then returned to Rome. On the way, they met a clone of the admiral.

"It's rare for Marshal to see you go out once."

Her shiny black hair was neatly tied up, with a few strands of hair fluttering in the wind, adding a bit of agility. She was gently waving a fan in her hand, and the pattern on the fan was looming, which complemented the kimono she was wearing. The kimono was well-tailored and simple in color, but it made her figure more graceful and free and extraordinary.

The beauty of a woman lies not only in her appearance, but also in the temperament that radiates from the inside out. She is charming and generous, and her every frown and smile is full of the charm of a mature woman. Her red eyes reveal the light of wisdom and infinite yearning for freedom.

Character Notes: Navy Demon Pig Admiral's clone - Kagura

But as soon as she finished speaking, Kagura's expression suddenly became serious. She felt a familiar breath from the Navy Admiral, as if it was that deadly ghost thing.

"What did you buy in the Sabaody Archipelago? Show it to me. There must be something bad."

Kagura had a serious expression on her face and didn't seem to be joking. Gion took the initiative to cooperate and took out a lot of ornaments from her pocket, but the problem was not with her, so the two of them turned their attention to the Navy Admiral.

“Then there is only this red stone left.”

Altria took it out as she spoke. The moment Kagura saw the red stone appear, her body involuntarily shrank back and her steps staggered, as if she was pushed by an invisible force. The air around the three women seemed to solidify, and it was so oppressive that it made people breathless.
