Sabaody Archipelago (1/2)

After landing on the Sabaody Archipelago, the Straw Hats begin searching for a man Hatchan knows who can coat their ship, so they can continue onto Fish-Man Island. 

At Grove 41, Franky and Usopp fill up with some cola with Sanji also staying on the Thousand Sunny. He plans to wait for Nami while guarding her treasure. Zoro disembarks and heads to town. Zoro yells out that the trees are marked by numbers so he won't get lost. He first thinks the grove is number 1.

Meanwhile, Hatchan explains that the World Nobles are also known as the Celestial Dragons and wear masks so they don't breathe the same air as common people. The Sabaody Archipelago is also a place where everyone gathers before heading to the New World. There are also infamous pirates stationed there, and there's no law against pirate trafficking. As Navy Headquarters is dangerously close, they need to be on the lookout. Luffy also spots an injury on Hatchan's forehead because Camie and Hatchan need to disguise themselves as humans.

Luffy then puts his head and arms into a bubble and goes inside. A shopkeeper then shows a bike that can go into the bubble. Luffy then operates the bike in the bubble without it breaking. They are called Bubble Bikes. Hatchan just wants to rent two bikes.

As the group rides around, Hatchan points out that the bubble will pop if one leaves the atmosphere of the archipelago. Camie also says the Bubble Bikes can also be used on Fish-Man Island. Pappag also mentions the Mermaid Princess with Brook looking forward to meeting her.

Then, Luffy and Chopper visit a grand bun shop run by Antonio. The buns read Grandline Half as they are meant to be souvenirs.

At Grove #35, Hatchan points out that they are the quarters of the Marines awaiting permission to get to the New World. The purchased goods are placed in a bubble pack. Hatchan says that they need to get to Grove #13.

At the shopping mall, Nami begins to feel something is foreboding with Camie.

Luffy's party use their Bubble Bikes at high speed racing to Grove 13. Meanwhile, a woman bumps into a man named Devil Dias who is pleading for his collar to be removed and wants to go home. He just wants to meet his family again when Luffy overhears. Hatchan points out Devil Dias was sold into slavery, but then, the collar ticks and goes off like a bomb. He then collapses giving up on going to the New World.

Hatchan then warns about the collars while the Straw Hats are horrified. Just then, the group kneels before Saints Shalria and Rosward as they pass through. They see how the collar affected Devil Dias and Shalria sees the slave as useless. She then shoots the slave and his body is removed.

Hatchan says they need to leave. Brook offers some tea, but Camie turns him down. Pappag warns if one takes action against a Celestial Dragon, all of Marine Headquarters will hunt the target down. The Celestial Dragons are descended from the founders of the World Government. Then, a group of bounty hunters spot Luffy.

The Straw Hat Team fight and defeat some bounty hunters who want their bounty.

{even if strawhead was adventure,because them destroyed enis lobby to help robin,so marine had to make bounty for them}

As the Straw Hats go around town, they enter a bar where they meet Shakuyaku. From her, they find out that Monkey D. Luffy and Roronoa Zoro are part of Re-guild and also there were the Eleven Supernovas, rookie pirates that made it to half of the Grand Line and each of their bounties exceed 100,000,000 belly. All eight of them are right on Sabaody Archipelago.(zoro luffy and bonney not on the list guy,well them are adventurer not a pirate)

then Luffy's group begins to look for Rayleigh and "searches" the local amusement park.

There they spend most of the day enjoying themselves, even fulfilling Camie's dream of riding the Ferris wheel.

However unbeknownst to them, a bounty hunter named Peterman is tailing them, having gotten info that Camie is a mermaid from the bounty hunters that Luffy's group previously encountered.

Meanwhile, on another part of the Sabaody Archipelago, Saint Charlos, another World Noble, comes across a critically injured man and the doctors who are carrying him to the hospital.

founding that the doctors are still on their feet and moving in his presence, Saint Charlos kicks the stretcher so that the injured man tumbles to the ground. He then takes notice of the attractive nurse and proceeds to take her for his thirteenth wife, shooting her fiancee when he tries to object. 

Zoro, who stumbles upon the scene, is not familiar with the World Nobles, and unintentionally angers Saint Charlos with his blunt manner.

Saint Charlos fires his gun at him, but Zoro immediately dodges and goes in to counterattack.

However, Jewelry Bonney intervenes in the nick of time to prevent an admiral from being dispatched to the archipelago.

She uses tomato juice to make it seem as if Zoro had been shot. Satisfied, Saint Charlos leaves, and Jewelry Bonney berates Zoro for nearly screwing over all the pirates in Sabaody (only to be ignored for the most part), while three other Supernovas present remark on the close call.

Back at the Sunny, Sanji, Usopp and Franky receive an urgent call from Chopper revealing that Camie has been kidnapped, and Luffy's group does not know where to look for her due to the size of the archipelago. Sanji tells them to stand by, explaining that he will call the Rosy Life Riders.

The Rosy Life Riders arrive. Sanji gets straight to business and tells them that a mermaid was kidnapped. Franky asks them for help in the search for the kidnappers. Usopp, Franky and Sanji get on the flying fishes and they set off. Duval says that they will pick up the Straw Hat Pirates while tracking down the slave traders.

Chopper is pacing up and down, thinking of Sanji's instructions and the separation of the Straw Hats. When he sees Brook sipping tea calmly, he is shocked and berates him, reminding him of Camie's fate if she is sold.

Brook calms Chopper down. When Usopp comes to pick them up, he is shocked to see their relaxed state.

Usopp smacks them and they set off, splitting up to investigate the slave traders and pick up the remaining Straw Hats.

Sanji is lagging behind since he is on Duval's ride, Motobaro.

Zoro drops off the patient at a hospital and decides to return to the ship, believing it to be anchored at Grove 1. 

Luffy looks for Camie in a shop selling slaves but to no avail. Pappag starts blaming himself for letting her go to Sabaody Park.

He says that mermen and fish-men should not even be on the island but Hatchan wanted to help the Straw Hats.

Before he can complete his sentence, he is interrupted by Hatchan, who asks him not to continue.

Luffy demands to know and Pappag explains that Camie's and Hatchan's enemies are not only slave traders but rather every human on the island.

Robin is explaining the past to Nami, saying that fish-men are discriminated against and looked down by everyone. It only stopped 200 years ago when the World Government decided to help Fish-Man Island.

However, the selling and trading of slaves is still acceptable on Sabaody Archipelago.

Nami wonders if it was due to the past that Camie and Hatchan had to disguise themselves. Franky finds Nami and Robin and tells them that Camie was kidnapped.

Hatchan apologizes to Luffy, saying that instead of helping, he had created more trouble for him instead.

Luffy reassures him, stating that they are his friends and they will definitely save Camie. Luffy's group is found by the Rosy Life Riders and they hitch a ride.

At Grove 1 where the Human Auctioning House can be found, Peterman makes his contribution, surprising the staff with Camie. Saint Rosward and Saint Shalria arrive at the Auctioning House. 

Eustass Kid observes their entry and comments that compared to them, the "villains of the world seems much more honorable." Heat, his crew member, draws his attention to Trafalgar Law, who is seated a few rows in front of them.

Camie is carried backstage and has the collar fitted on her. She recalls the scene on the streets where the collar explodes and struggles more violently. 

Disco comes to check on Camie and slaps her for making a face. Camie shouts that Hatchan will arrive and beat Disco up, angering him.

He attempts to fit the collar on Camie but he faints. A giant opens his eye and addresses the person next to him, asking him to stop pretending as he knew that Haki was used by him and questions his identity. The man replies that he is just an old man who coats ships and loves young girls.

At the Marine Headquarters, a soldier reports to Vice Admiral Garp that Silvers Rayleigh is one of the slaves to be auction off at Sabaody Archipelago, making him burst into laughter. Garp says that he will handle the situation himself and orders him and his subordinate not to mention the matter to anyone else.

Although the soldier is not very sure of the information, Garp is certain that it really is Rayleigh, and cautions against going up the Dark King unprepared. At the Human Auctioning House, Disco starts the auctions.

The first slave is sold for 600 thousand belly. Disco seems to be in conspiracy with some of the bidders in the audience, jacking up the price. 

Sanji is shown the market price for the different type of slaves, which angers him. The rest of the Rosy Life Riders are still desperately searching for news concerning Camie. 

Usopp talks to the man who caught the giant slave and finds out that a mermaid has been brought to the auction house.

They inform the rest that the kidnapper is Peterman and tells them about Camie's current location. With this, the riders head towards the auction house.

Zoro is surrounded by pirates with their swords drawn, wondering where is Grove 1. A pirate attempts to attack but is frightened by Zoro's glare, dropping his sword and pointing him in the right direction instead.

 Duval inquires about the information of the auction and reassures Sanji, saying that a mermaid would be the main attraction and Camie would definitely be saved for last.

Sanji is frustrated at their speed but Duval claims that he has been heading for Grove 1 from the beginning and therefore, would be the first to arrive as he is their leader.

However, Chopper arrives just before them and Sanji hits Duval. Franky arrives to see some of his crewmates demanding for the return of Camie from the staffs but they refuse. Franky wants to break her out and prepares to attack the house.

However, he is stopped by Hatchan as there are Celestial Dragons inside. There is also the matter of the exploding collar that is on Camie. Chopper stops Sanji from attacking the staff while Nami resolves to get Camie back through their system.

They enter the house and Heat brings their arrival to Eustass Kid's attention, who notes that Luffy is not present.

The Straw Hat team glare angrily as the auction proceeds. Nami calculates that they should have 200 million worth of treasure onboard and Hatchan says that it should be sufficient but he does not have the means to repay them.

Nami states that to get their friend back, money is not an issue and the rest of the crew agrees.

Around the island, newspapers are being distributed to the inhabitants, who are alarmed at the breaking news.

 X Drake informs his crew that Fire Fist Ace is about to be executed, shocking them all.

He states that there is going to be a war, as Re-guild would surely retaliate against the World Government.

The remaining Straw Hats head towards the auction house, while Camie is approached by the staff of the auction house.

Saint Charlos arrives at the Human Auctioning House, glad that the auction has not ended.

He kicks his slave repeatedly, blaming him for his lateness which caused him to miss most of the auction.

The Straw Hat team notice his arrival and overhear Charlos expressing his desire for a mermaid. 

Disco introduces the next slave, Lacuba. However, the slave collapses and blood drips from him to the floor, eliciting screams from the audience.

Panicky, Disco orders for the curtains to be pulled. Nami wonders what happened and Sanji explains that Lacuba bit his tongue, deciding to die instead of living as a slave.

 Camie is enclosed in a tank and the staffs prepare to reveal her to the crowd.

Zoro arrives at Grove 13 and is puzzled because previously he was at Grove 2. The pirates that surrounded him previously cross paths with him again.

Zoro recognizes them and gives them a beating, accusing them of giving him fake directions.

The pirates make the situation worst as they try to explain themselves. Luffy grabs Zoro as he flies pass and they head to Grove 1 on the flying fish.

Disco tries to cover up the accident by claiming that Lacuba had a nosebleed.

Camie is brought onto stage and displayed to the crowd, causing a massive uproar.

Nami gets ready to get Camie back and Charlos exclaims excitedly about the house finally selling a mermaid.

Before Disco can announce the starting bid, Charlos interrupts with a bid of 500 million belly, shocking everyone into silence.

Camie cannot hear anything from her tank and bangs on it, screaming for Hatchan to rescue her. 

Pappag and Hatchan sob sadly at the change of events.

Disco asks for a higher bid while Charlos smiles smugly.

Hatchan gets desperate and contemplates rescuing Camie by force before escaping to the seas.

Pappag shoots down the idea, reminding Hatchan of the exploding collar.

They stare angrily at the unfolding situation while Eustass Kid comments that he has seen enough and prepares to leave with his crew.

Disco bangs his gavel to close the deal.

Directly after that, there is a commotion as the flying fish that Luffy and Zoro is riding on crashed straight into the auction house.

Luffy exclaims that they should have landed better but the rider retorts that it was Luffy himself who told him to crash into the building.

Zoro is still clueless about the whole situation, believing Luffy to be headed for the Sunny and wonders where they are now. 

Trafalgar Law sees them and grins while Kid also recognizes Luffy.

Luffy notices Camie and runs towards her. However, Hatchan grabs and tries to stop him by explaining about the collar and the Celestial Dragons, to which Luffy replies that he does not care.

In his effort to stop him, Hatchan uses his other hands and reveals the fact that he is a fish-man to the crowd.

The audience asks for him to be restrained and starts throwing things at him.

Pappag urges Hatchan to escape while Sanji is confused by the crowd's reaction.

Nami informs them that fish-man and merfolk are actually discriminated against on Saboady Archipelago.

A shot meant for Hatchan is fired by Charlos. Luffy halts and turns while Camie looks on in horror as Hatchan collapses.

Charlos jumps around, proud of the fact that he shot a fish-man. The crowd is relieved while Charlos revels in the fact that he has just gotten a slave for free.

Luffy stalks towards him angrily but is stopped by Hatchan, who reminds him of the promise he made: not to touch the Celestial Dragons even if someone was shot right before him.

Hatchan states that he deserves it since he did awful things in the past. He apologizes to Luffy and says that he never wanted things to turn out this way, explaining that he just wanted to make amends to Nami for his past actions.

Nami is surprised at this revelation while Hatchan continues apologizing profusely. Charlos is irked by Hatchan and prepares to fire another shot.

Luffy stares at him angrily and heads towards him. Pappag shouts for Luffy to stop but his words are unheeded. Charlos fires two shots, which are dodged by Luffy with ease. Within reach, Luffy punches Charlos, sending him flying.

Luffy apologizes, knowing that his actions would bring an Admiral and a warship down from the Marine Headquarters to Sabaody Archipelago. Zoro is disappointed that he is denied his chance to cut Saint Charlos. Chopper says that he will tend to Hatchan's injuries and asks Franky to search for the key to free Camie. Saint Rosward is furious and fires at Luffy. The audience panics and evacuates from the building, with the exception of the Kid Pirates, Heart Pirates and the Celestial Dragons. Sanji attacks Rosward and kicks the gun from his hands. The Heart Pirates and Kid Pirates both observe the fight ensuing in the emptied auction stands.

Usopp is on his way to the Human Auctioning House and realizes that he is one of the late ones. He hurries the rider but falls off as a result. Robin saves him and speeds ahead along with Brook.

During the fight, Zoro cuts the tank holding Camie captive, allowing communication. Eustass Kid agrees that the rumors are true and that Luffy is one crazy guy.

Robin observed that there seem to be an uproar as the crowd is running for the exit. Brook tells the rider to crash inside while Usopp panics, saying that he is not ready. Robin and Brook jump off their ride and are on the offensive immediately. Usopp stands on the roof, not daring to jump and is pushed by the flying fish. He crashes into Rosward, knocking him unconscious and breaking his glasses. Nami tells Usopp about the imminent arrival of a warship and an admiral. However, Law says that the Marines had surrounded the house even before the auction had commenced. He wonders who the marine's target is as they could not possibly have known that the Celestial Dragons would be beaten beforehand. Robin identifies him and informs Luffy that Law is a pirate. She also introduces Kid to the crew.

Saint Shalria aims her pistol at Camie, wanting to kill the mermaid that the Straw Hats want to save.

The crew looks on in horror as they are unable to stop her in time but before Shalria can pull the trigger, she faints and falls off the ladder. 

Rayleigh and the giant break through the stage and talk about the state of the hall. Rayleigh also reveals his intention of being there, which is to steal money.

The guards are alarmed that the 'auction items' have escaped from their cage and even disposed of their neck rings.

Hatchan calls out to Rayleigh. Observing the surroundings, Rayleigh comes to a conclusion about the events that occurred and uses his power to knock out the remaining guards in the room, shocking all the pirates and the strawhead team.

Rayleigh comments that the straw hat is really suitable for a fearless man like Luffy and tells him that he always wanted to meet him.

Word quickly spreads around Sabaody Archipelago that Monkey D. Luffy struck World Noble Saint Charlos at the Human Auctioning House, and the residents fear for their lives, knowing a Marine Admiral is likely coming.

 Capone Bege  leave, with swearing will destroy Luffy in the New World for cutting her fun at Sabaody short.

 X Drake, Urouge, Scratchmen Apoo and Basil Hawkins also prep their crews, but want to observe before leaving.

At Mary Geoise, Sengoku gets the report of the attack, with a confirmation of up to four of the Supernovas (including  Eustass Kid, Killer and Trafalgar Law) also present.

Admiral Kizaru, who is present, tells Sengoku that he will take care of it, and won't be long.

Back at the Auction House, Disco reports to Donquixote Doflamingo about the assault and the breakout of the slaves awaiting sale.

Doflamingo, however, has decided that slavery is passes, and washes his hands of the Auction House.

He says "SMILEs" are the future, and leaves the situation as Disco's problem. He notes that he has been called into action as a Shichibukai to prepare for war against Re-guild.

The Marines have surrounded the Auction House with guns and mortars, with reports that Kizaru is coming with a "special vanguard".

{kuma chan is coming}

Inside, while Chopper tends to Hatchan's gunshot wound, the Kid Pirates, Heart Pirates and Straw Hat Re-team observe as the old man that appeared from backstage tends to Camie.

He says he will remove the mermaid's collar, causing some around to freak out, knowing what will happen if it explodes. 

Franky is backstage looking for the keys. The old man, however, sets off the timer on the exploding collar.

Right when Franky gets the keys backstage, there is an explosion. Camie is alright, and the collar is gone, leaving those present (except Franky) speechless.

As Pappag reunites with Camie, Franky tosses the keys to the other would-be slaves.

The others wonder who the old man is, and how he seemingly knocked out most of those present without so much as a word.

Hatchan says the old man used a power called "haki". The old man notes how strong all the pirates present are that withstood it.

Kid reveals who the old man is: "Dark King" Silvers Rayleigh, himself once a very notorious pirate, though Rayleigh tells them not to go around saying who he is, saying he's only a coating specialist now.

He thanks Luffy for saving his "old friend" Hatchan, then says the conversation he suggested having can wait until they escape.

The Marines outside demand the surrender of the present Supernovas, marking Law and Kid as accomplices to Luffy's actions.

Rayleigh leaves the escape to the rookies present, and Kid, Luffy and Law exit, the three bickering over how each could clear the current siege themselves.

As those still inside prepare to leave, Camie tells Pappag not to regret going to Sabaody Park, the act that got them in this mess in the first place; Pappag says Luffy told him that as well.

Rayleigh tells the others they will meet back at Grove 13 (where Shakky's Rip-Off Bar is) after the escape.

The other escaped slaves thank Rayleigh and the pirates for freeing them.

Outside, the Marines fire their first volley of cannonballs, getting all two Supernova captains and luffy to reveal their Devil Fruit powers.

Luffy uses Gomu Gomu no Fusen to deflect a cannonball directed at him.

Kid uses electromagnetic powers to stop a cannonball and shooting it back at the mortars even harder.

Law creates an energy field appears around him, a cannonball and a Marine; then he apparently slashes off the Marine's head, replacing it with the cannonball.

However the Marine is still alive, with Law holding his head, showing his Devil Fruit powers.

As the Marines regroup to ensure they can rescue the hostages, Kid tells the other two not to interfere.

Luffy ignores him and charges the Marines, using Gomu Gomu no Ami to catch a bunch of shot cannonballs and slingshot them back at the Marines, save one that trickled out and scattered Law and Kid.

Kid tells Luffy that he's completely insane, and attracts a bunch of guns and swords with his powers, firing them back on the Marines, forcing a fallback.

The Marine Captain on the scene asks if Kizaru has arrived, but he has not yet, though reinforcements prepare to join the battle as the Supernova captains and luffy stand tall.

as Luffy, Law and Kid's crews join the fight and defeat the rest of the Marines outside the Auction House. The three captains promise to meet and fight in the New World. Luffy's crew escapes with the help of the Rosy Life Riders. A mysterious figure that appears to be Kuma intercepts Kid and Law, and begins to attack them with lasers.
