Chereads / Ballad of the Crows / Chapter 47 - Archipiélago Sabaody

Chapter 47 - Archipiélago Sabaody

While sailing in the direction of the Sabaody Archipelago.

Katahara decided to use his lottery tickets, while lighting a cigarette.

Katahara: System uses the two lottery tickets.

At that moment a roulette wheel appeared, consisting of the silver level to the highest diamond level.

The chances of the lower level appearing were the highest, and the chances of the higher level appearing were very low.

The roulette started spinning until it started to stop.

[Congratulations, you have obtained the Storm Element (Naruto) silver grade].

At that moment Katahara felt as if information would reach her brain.

Katahara: An advanced Chakra transformation.... Not bad not bad at all, though if I put more effort into Chakra management I would have gotten it anyway.

The roulette wheel kept spinning and to Katahara's surprise it stopped at the highest diamond level.

[Congratulations, you have obtained a diamond grade summon:

Laxus Dreyar (Fairy Tail)]

At that moment a black portal began to appear inside Katahara's room.

Out of that portal came a very tall, muscular young man with orange eyes. His hair is combed back with numerous spiky strands, though some of them fall on his forehead. He has a distinctive lightning-shaped scar over his right eye.

His attire consists of a tight-fitting dark blue tank top, wine-colored pants, brown shoes, and his large brown coat with white fur around the edges and sleeves, which he wore as a cloak.

When Laxus stepped out of the doorway he knelt down in front of Katahara.

Laxus: Laxus Dreyar, you come before my lord.

Katahara stopped smoking as soon as he saw Laxus.

Katahara: Laxus Dreyar...the grandson of Makarov, S-class Mage of Fairy Tail.... Who would have thought you would show up.

Laxus didn't look up, he was still kneeling.

Katahara: Take this and put it on I guess you have some idea where you are.

Laxus grabbed the akatsuki suit and looked up to see Katahara.

Laxus: Yes sir this world is called One piece, and I have some idea about what this world is like.

Katahara: From now on I am captain, no sir.... Get up I'll take you to see the others.

At that moment Laxus got up and put on his suit and then followed Katahara.

Katahara then took Laxus to the deck where he introduced him to everyone.

When he introduced them all received him in a good way, they all knew that their captain would not accept anyone who was not strong.

Dabi: So you too eh.

Laxus: I guess we are the only ones right.

Dabi: The captain already gave his orders, but I wonder how good you are.

Laxus then looked at him.

Laxus: Why don't you come and check it out.

Katahara: It seems that fire and lightning aren't something that go together, hahahahahaha.... Unfortunately this is not the time to see who is stronger, maybe another time, Laxus come with me to the training chamber, Conis you too.

So the 3 of them went down to the training chamber where Katahara set the gravity to 30g.

As soon as Laxus and Conis felt the pressure they were crushed to the ground.

Laxus was able to stand up with a little effort.

Katahara: Laxus you will practice here until we reach the next island.... As for you Conis you will stay here until you can handle this kind of gravity.

After that Katahara left the training chamber and went to his room.

At that moment Robin knocked on the door.

Katahara: Come in.

Then Robin came in.

Robin: Captain.

Katahara: Tell me Robin what's going on.

Robin: I wanted to ask what the objective is in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Katahara: The objective is to meet with Urouge.

Robin: Sure captain, I just realized that with you not everything is what it seems.

Katahara: You should know me by now Robin, I'll instruct Urouge to accompany you if you want to go shopping.

Then Robin just said goodbye and went to her room.

Katahara: I guess it's time to take off these training weights.

Then Katahara took off the weights she was wearing on her hands and legs and put them on her ring.

Katahara: Shit, I feel as light as a feather.

Then she started throwing punches in the air.

Katahara: I wonder how strong I became without those weights.... I'll know soon enough, hahahaha.

After that he headed to the helm where Laffitte was.

Laffitte: Captain, Urouge is waiting for us at the docks with his crew.

Katahara: Well tell the men that they will stay to protect the ship.

Laffitte just nodded.

Then Katahara headed off to train with his sword.

Unlike before everyone inside the ship noticed how their captain swung his sword much faster and stronger than before.

Katahara then decided to try his most powerful technique.

He imbued his sword with Haki and shadow at the same time.

Katahara: Shadow Dragon.

Katahara slashed so hard and fast that everyone on the ship felt the ship start to wobble.

Laxus who was the only one without Observation Haki, ran out of the training room thinking they were under attack.

Katahara launched a slash that took the form of a dragon made of shadows splitting the sea in its path.

Van Augur: Captain, you seem to be on a totally different level than what you showed on Kuja Island.

Katahara: You haven't seen anything yet Augur.

Van Augur: I hope I can see it Captain .... It looks like we arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.

The archipelago near the Red Line, at the end of Paradise, which serves as the last stop to enter the New World.

Although it is called an archipelago, it is actually the largest forest of Mangrooves (giant trees with roots sunk into the water) in existence.

Each tree represents an islet for people to live on. Since it is a floating forest and not an island like the ones you are used to finding on the Grand Line, it has no magnetic signal that can register a Log Pose.

Katahara: Prepare for the arrival at the island.

Everyone was preparing for the arrival at the island.

Dabi: Why don't you tell me something about this island Robin.

Robin: Sabaody Archipelago .... Due to its proximity to the Red Line, it is a highly visited stop for travelers of all kinds to prepare before entering the New World. Aside from its unique ambiance it is a thriving hub of commerce and one of the few places in the world where slavery is still present.

Dabi just looked at the horizon.

Dabi: The weak become care and the strongest eat the meat.

You could tell Robin was expecting that answer from Dabi.

Robin only replied with a smile.

It wasn't long before Aghata's Shadow would arrive at the dock.

At the dock a group of people led by Urouge were waiting for them.

Katahara: Conis you will stay with all the men here protecting the ship, everyone else with me.

Then they all got off the boat.

Urouge: Mr. Katahara.

Katahara: Urouge it looks like you improved a lot since the last time we saw you, I hope you have mastered everything I gave you.

Urouge: Mr. Katahara, I mastered the Rokushiki skills as you asked me to and I also awakened the Armor Haki.

Katahara: Well that's good, tell your men to take all their belongings up to the ship.

Urouge at that moment told his entire crew to do as he asked them.

Katahara: From now on you are part of the Darks Crows.

Urouge showed a giant smile as soon as he heard Katahara.

Katahara: Urouge, you will accompany Robin and then return to the ship.

Urouge: Sure Captain.

Then Urouge left with Robin.
