Several days later, the Goa Empire fleet, having safely returned to the Grand Line from the South Sea via the Calm Belt, had arrived at Red Port, located beneath the Red Line in Paradise, and was waiting in line for the transportation services of the large bubble transport vehicles.
The Red Port on the other side of the Red Line is generally referred to as the New World Red Port.
Within Red Port, there are large bubble transport vehicles specifically for transporting ships, as well as exclusive bubble transport vehicles for carrying people.
There are even fast transport vehicles exclusively for the royal families and nobles of various Allied Nations.
Why did King Wang Shi use the World Government's transport channels instead of entering the New World through Fish-Man Island?
Because coating at Sabaody Archipelago takes time, and entering the deep sea at 10,000 meters carries risks from ocean currents and Sea Kings.
After entering Fish-Man Island, another coating would be required.
This would take at least three or four days.
However, using these bubble transport vehicles, it takes an hour or two to go up, then cross the Red Line via an exclusive channel, and then descend to the Red Port on the other side of the Red Line, all within a single day.
Most importantly, it is safe, convenient, and offers comprehensive services.
Even King Wang Shi's snail warship could be transported.
It must be said that while Celestial Dragons are extremely cruel to the common people, the things that serve them are truly extravagant, providing whatever they desire.
"I never thought I'd one day be able to set foot on the Red Line!"
Inside the bubble transport vehicle, Aramaki and Eric could hardly believe it.
"I haven't been to Holy Land Mary Geoise either."
Wang Shi's eyes flickered; the Goa Empire's application this time was for normal commercial transport channels, and did not include permission to enter Holy Land Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Therefore, Wang Shi had no opportunity this time to enter Pangea Castle to see the Hall of Authority where the World Conference is held, nor was he qualified to see the magnificent palaces of the Celestial Dragons.
He was even less qualified to go to the Empty Throne Room to witness the Empty Throne and the Swords of the Twenty Kings.
However, Wang Shi also did not wish to meet the Gorosei, God's Knights, or Celestial Dragons, to avoid any accidents.
Especially Imu, the King of the World, Wang Shi was very wary of this millennia-old immortal.
Now was not the time to push Him, so it was better not to meet.
"Those World Nobles in Mary Geoise are not good people; if they take a liking to you, they'll seize you as slaves in an instant."
As the bubble transport vehicle reached the transit area at the top of the Red Line, they could only gaze from afar at the magnificent city of world power.
Wang Shi and his group boarded a transport vehicle pulled by a large fast-running turtle, quickly rushing towards the other side of the Red Line.
There were no incidents along the way, with merchant fleets and Allied Nations' warships from all four seas ahead and behind them, making it a very busy route.
After more than half a day, they traversed the top of the Red Line and arrived on the New World side.
Then, they descended to the New World Red Port via a large bubble transport vehicle.
"Your Majesty, next time the World Conference is held, could you please take me with you to attend?"
Aramaki's eyes were filled with admiration for this city of world power.
"At that time, you can serve as my bodyguard and attend the World Conference with me."
Wang Shi saw Aramaki's craving for power; it seemed further education would be necessary in the future.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will be loyal to you for my entire life."
Aramaki spoke excitedly. He revered the power held by the Celestial Dragons, but he had also heard of some of their evil deeds and knew that Celestial Dragons were difficult to deal with.
However, King Wang Shi, the East Blue Overlord, already held power no less than that of an ordinary Celestial Dragon.
Following Wang Shi, he still had the chance to reach the pinnacle of power.
"Work hard and quickly get promoted to the rank of Duke."
Wang Shi spoke indifferently, muttering to himself, fortunately, this time they applied for a commercial channel.
Otherwise, if Aramaki, who had just joined, were to be invited by a Celestial Dragon, this guy might very well be swayed.
However, Aramaki's reputation is not prominent now, and he is not a rare race, so it is highly unlikely that he would attract the attention and importance of the Celestial Dragons.
Even the Gorosei would not spare a glance for this kingdom police officer, who is suspected of having the strength of an elite Vice Admiral.
Because Marineford is currently at its strongest, with three Natural type Admirals suppressing the world.
There is no shortage of high-level combat power.
If it weren't for Fleet Admiral Sengoku's retirement to the sidelines after the Marineford War, Akainu's promotion to Fleet Admiral, and Aokiji's departure from the Marine, which left two Admiral positions vacant.
The World Government would not have initiated the World Military Draft to recruit these strong individuals of uncertain loyalty and directly promote them to Admiral.
"I will not disappoint Your Majesty."
Aramaki's eyes were filled with confidence. This trip to the West Blue was his journey of rise.
He must defeat a pirate with a bounty of 500 million or more to first be promoted to the rank of Marquis.
And the others admired the beautiful scenery from 10,000 meters in the sky; the fact that they had entered the New World in such a way truly felt magical.
...
After King Wang Shi and his group arrived at the New World Red Port, they retrieved their warships and immediately headed for the Red Line's safe passage, intending to go directly to the West Blue.
The Marine Vice Admiral escorting them this time was Momousagi Gion, which was unexpected by Wang Shi.
At this time, Momousagi Gion did not seem to have the title of Admiral candidate yet.
But her strength was among the best of all elite Vice Admirals.
It was unexpected that such an elite Vice Admiral was not capturing pirates but instead performing an escort mission.
Was this perhaps a bit of an overkill?
With this curiosity, Wang Shi proactively went to Momousagi Gion's warship to ask for the reason.
It was definitely not because this female Vice Admiral was beautiful and strong.
"King Wang Shi, escort missions are on a rotation system, and we cannot constantly be performing pirate-capturing missions.
This rotating escort duty is considered a relaxed work adjustment."
Momousagi Gion also felt a hint of curiosity about this infamous King of Exile.
This handsome emperor did not look like a cruel person at all.
It was unexpected that this young man had actually dealt with Judge, the evil commander-in-chief of the North Blue.
"I see."
"It seems being a Marine is indeed very tough."
Wang Shi stroked his chin, looking touched.
"It is very tough, but for justice, we Marines will never retreat."
Gion's eyes seemed to carry a light, which Wang Shi greatly admired.
"I heard that Admiral Kizaru clocks out on time every day. Is that true?
I also heard others say that he plans to retire at 60 and collect a pension for his old age. Is there any truth to that?
"But Vice Admiral Lan Cao is already nearly eighty, why hasn't she retired yet?
Fleet Admiral Sengoku is 75 this year, Marine Hero Vice Admiral Garp is 74, and Marine Chief of Staff Vice Admiral Tsuru is also 72.
By the way, does the Marine really have a retirement system?
Has anyone actually received a pension?
"Does Vice Admiral Gion also have to work until she is old and gray-haired, at a decrepit age?"
Wang Shi looked at the determined Momousagi Gion and suddenly asked seriously and earnestly.
"..."
Momousagi Gion looked at Wang Shi, who had suddenly changed the subject, her face a little dark.
She suddenly thought of herself looking as old as Sister Lan Cao and Sister Tsuru in the future.
Immediately, she glared at Wang Shi.
This guy was corrupting her Dao heart and hindering her heart of justice!
Wang Shi was also secretly attracted by Gion's excited and ample bosom. Impressive.
"Who is spreading rumors about Admiral Kizaru!?"
"Admiral Kizaru's pure heart of justice is beyond doubt; he will certainly fight for justice to the end and will never retire..."
Momousagi Gion banished the image of herself growing old and directly turned the topic to Kizaru, questioning Wang Shi.
However, she recalled Admiral Kizaru's leisurely manner of clipping his nails and drinking tea, which, indeed, seemed a bit like a retirement posture.
