One Piece - Justice Of The Celestial Dragons

Chapter 22 - 22 - Kingdom of Sand

Three days had passen by since the battle. Sylver managed to wake up the next day after the battle, but under the persuasion of Boa Hanc.o.c.k, he laid and rested for another day.

Now, Sylver was finally fully healed after the battle. He had no injuries or scars left on his body, and he looked the same as usual. The only thing that Sylver was glad about was that he managed to Awaken his Devil Fruit, and he didn't need to use his Sea-Stone bracelet any longer unless he wanted to train his body.

SkyWard Bound was sailing peacefully through the seas without any hindrance. Even a marine battleship followed behind them with two Vice-Admirals on it. One of the Vice-Admirals was a young female with the name of Momousagi, she was one of the youngest Vice-Admirals and her strength is very high up. People in the Navy believes that Momousagi will become an Admiral in the future.

Momousagi hasn't had any contact with Sylver till now, she was a woman that didn't care who she spoke to and just wants to uphold justice. She wouldn't care if she spoke to a pirate, marine or even a Celestial Dragon, that was one of the reasons Fleet Admiral Sengokou told her not to contact much with Sylver unless it was needed. As Sengokou didn't want Momousagi to offend Sylver with her personality.

But as fate has it, if one side doesn't pull, the person on the other side will pull. Sylver contacted the marine battleship and wished to speek with the commanding Vice-Admiral in person. And it barely took five minutes before Momousagi jumped from the marine battleship and landed on SkyWard Bound. Momousagi gazed at the deck and saw a young man sitting on a chair near a table, waiting for her.

As Momousagi was about to walk to him, Sylver stood up, he had a small smile on his face. "Thank you for arriving this quickly, I had a few questions that I wished to ask, I wonder if you have some spare time to answer them." Sylver's voice was calming and soothing. And after seeing Momousagi nodding in a daze, he continued speaking as he motioned towards the chair on the opposite side of the small table. "Please, sit down."

Momousagi was in a slight daze as she walked towards the chair and sat down. She thought that a young Celestial Dragon like Sylver would act overbearing and arrogantly, and she knew that Sylver also had the strength to back-up if he wanted to act arrogantly too. Because Momousagi didn't know if she could handle King by herself either, and someone as young as Sylver, managed to stall and make King retreat! It was shocking to say the least for her.

"Yes, I will do my best to answer your questions. And if you didn't know, I am Momousagi, a Vice-Admiral of the Navy." Momousagi introduced herself after having sat down on the chair.

Sylver still had his usual small smile on his face as he also sat down. He tapped the armchair with his finger a few times while staring at Momousagi before opening his mouth to speak. "I haven't had contact yet with others, can you tell me the current situation in Paradise and New World after the battle?" Sylver could see Momousagi squinting her eyes slightly, but he was patient and waited for her to speak.

And after a few seconds, Momousagi began speaking. "The Navy and the World Government are retaliating. Over a dozen Vice-Admirals with over two dozen Battlesh.i.p.s are hunting down the people of the Underworld. I have little to none information of what the World Government and what the Admirals are doing, but I know they headed off to the New World." Momousagi answered in a calm voice, she didn't ask what the Admirals were doing, as she had already a task to do, which was to guard Sylver against any further attacks.

"Mhm..." Sylver nodded as he hummed in a low voice. Sylver then let out a small sigh before saying. "It may be for the best that I don't think of what is happening in the New World for now. I am currently too weak to do anything there. Right, my parents gave me the Eternal Pose to Alabasta, can you tell me about what we will be doing there?"

Momousagi was glad that the young Celestial Dragon wasn't someone that acted rashly, she was glad that Sylver was very smart and didn't rush towards danger. "Yes, I can tell you that. Alabasta is a Sand Kingdom, its King is - Nefertari Cobra, the Queen is - Nefertari Titi, and the Princess is - Nerfertari Vivi. The recent news we have of Alabasta is that pirates are flocking in and making bases in cities and the desert, and that Queen Titi is ill."

"... Really?" Sylver asked in a low voice, he wasn't sure if he asked himself or Momougasi. He was pondering for a few seconds before a shout from a young girl was heard. "I see land! We are nearing Alabasta!" Sylver heard Nami's shouts, he turned his face towards the horizon and indeed saw that they were nearing Alabasta.

"Vice-Admiral Momougasi, if it's not a troublesome deed, can you contact with the Nefertari Royal Family and ask them if we can visit and stay for a few days?" Sylver asked while still gazing towards Alabasta. "And, if you could, give me a list of the pirates that has arrived in Alabasta the last few months, and perhaps look into those pirates that has visited New World." Sylver didn't know why, but he felt like someone was targetting Alabasta. Sylver didn't know who they are, or what their goals are. So, the only thing Sylver can now do is to wait and see if he can get some information from the marines.

"Yes Sir!" Momousagi saluted before leaving SkyWard Bound. She saluted because Sylver called her with her marine rank, and she knew the difference between a serious task and a common talk.
