Bartholomew Kuma took a few deep breaths and disappeared in an instant.
Even if the girl's head is a bit empty, which makes him very worried, he still needs to ensure her safety.
He was even thinking about just slapping Bonney back to the Sorbet Kingdom. He doesn't want her to stay here!
And in less than ten days, the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates will start a world-class war in Marineford.
By then, the Sabaody Archipelago, which is very close to Naval Headquarters, and the sea area in front of the New World will be very dangerous.
After all, the entrance and exit of the New World is under the Sabaody Archipelago.
It is very dangerous for his daughter to stay in Sabaody Archipelago or enter the New World.
If she were sent back to the Sorbet Kingdom, when she returned to the Grand Line from South Blue, the war would have already ended, and he might have been transformed.
By then, he should be considered dead, and Bonney will no longer continue struggling pointlessly.
Kuma felt a little helpless. He is committed to his career, but it is difficult to care for his family.
Sacrifice his life for righteousness, just for the sake of revolution and liberating the entire world!
Bartholomew Kuma strengthened his revolutionary ideas.
He felt that Bonney should not be in danger with Basire there, so he wanted to take a look at the Straw Hat Pirates first to make sure of their safety, and then come back to protect his daughter after completing Dragon's instructions.
…
In the human auction house in Grove No.1, the three supernovas, Red Flag Drake, Scratchman Apoo, and Straw Hat Luffy, were among the audience and participated in the auction.
Because of the mermaid auction gimmick, it successfully attracted several Celestial Dragons, making the auction even more lively.
I don't know what will happen to these pirates and the world's nobles.
···
At the restaurant, Bonney returned with a green moss head swordsman.
This surprised Basire quite a bit. This fate must be too coincidental.
Bonney saved Zoro?
However, if Bonney had not stopped Zoro, Zoro might have really killed the Celestial Dragon, and Basire would have had no choice but to break up with the World government in advance, withdraw from the Shichibukai, and enter a full-scale war.
After all, after fighting the Celestial Dragons, the identity of Shichibukai has no effect. The world's nobles will not leave such disobedient pirates behind, and will definitely send an Admiral to encircle and suppress the Big Daddy Pirates.
If you think about it this way, Bonney's intervention did indeed help him.
Bonney came back with Zoro this time because she wants Basire to repay the favor and asked him to arrange a meeting with her father.
Zoro still doesn't know why, but he also said some words in support of Bonney
"Little girl, your father doesn't want to see you now, and I can't make him show up directly."
"However, if you stay quietly on my ship, he will come to us to get the goods in some time."
"At that time, you can suddenly show up to see him."
Basire held a goblet in his hand, shaking the red wine that was as thick as blood, and tasted it carefully. Feeling that Kuma was not close, he drank it down in a single gulp.
Sure enough, pretending to be elegant is not comfortable at all. He still likes the freedom of being a pirate, being able to act unrestrained.
"Really? You won't force me to join you?"
Bonney was a little surprised. She didn't expect that this green moss head would be so important that he could really change Basire's tone. It seemed that she saved the right person this time.
"Have you always overestimated your value? You're just a brat"
Basire smiled softly and continued to belittle her, lowering her guard. As long as this girl got on his ship, he would be able to manipulate her.
Now the Snow Fruit user Monet, the spy, was still meowing after surrendering to him, and started to work in her old profession, serving as a secretary while helping Nico Robin organize information.
However, Monet is still unable to touch the den den mushi and take off her seastone low-purity bracelet for the time being.
And Basire went to see this secretary day after day when he had something to do and when he had nothing to do, the poor ice cream was almost completely melted.
This is probably the power of lasting love.
And those CP9s, after seeing their own wanted posters, their hearts have begun to waver.
Maybe after a while, Basire will have another secretary, the kind of blond secretary who wears glasses and uses fishnet stockings on her long legs.
"Are you sure he will come to your pirate ship?"
Bonney confirmed for the last time, thinking that she was willing to take a little risk for her father, because it was too easy for her father to avoid her otherwise.
She is also very aware of the power of the Paw Fruit.
She might really have to hide this in Basire's ship, so that she can meet this idiot father who has only a short time left.
"Probably, after all, there is a big deal worth tens of billions of beris."
Basire smiled indifferently and did not give an accurate answer, but it also made Bonney feel a little itchy. Not only was she shocked by the big deal between Basire and her father, but she was even more shocked that her father actually had so much money.
You must know that she is almost bankrupt now and has little money left. If this continues, she will not even be able to afford food if she doesn't go robbing.
Now that she's going to board Basire's ship, maybe she can eat and drink all she wants for free!
This idea made her eyes light up. Saving this green moss head was really worth it!
"Then I will just stay on your ship for a few days!"
Bonney looked reluctant and sat directly across the table from Basire. Then began to grab big fish and meat and put them into her mouth without any intention of being polite.
She is the benefactor of the green moss-headed Zoro, this is just her payment!
"No need to force it, I can give you a reward according to Zoro's current bounty"
Basire is not used to this little girl. The training will start from now on. If she dares to get on his boat, then he will train her however he wants.
Burgess and the others also laughed. You must know that Zoro's bounty, like them, stopped increasing long ago. So his current bounty is very low, only about 20 million beris.
"Don't even think about it! I'm relying on you! This life-saving grace is more important than the Red Line!"
Bonney answered unhappily immediately. He wanted to send her away with a mere ten or twenty million, there was no way she would accept that!
Basire also showed a successful smile. She was unwilling to get on the boat even though she was invited before, but now she has to force herself to get on the boat. This is fate.
Kuma, in the short period of time you disappeared, I seem to have gotten in touch with your daughter.
Nico Robin, a sinister woman, also noticed this clue and shook her head with a smile.
This Jewelry Bonney is still too young to be able to compete against a guy like Basire.
It seems that Basire's harem group will be increased by one.
By the way, Perona, who made Robin look negative and embarrassed, has been made very obedient by this sinister woman, and now works under her.
Basire often has the opportunity to tease this little girl with pink hair and twin tails.
In this way, Bonney thought she had taken advantage of it and temporarily boarded Basire's pirate ship. So she arranged for her subordinates to live freely in the Sabaody Archipelago for half a month.
And she wanted to eat and drink at Basire's place, which would save some money from her pirate group who were crying tears of joy now that they wouldn't have to starve in order to feed their gluttonous captain.
Sabaody Archipelago, Grove No.1, Human Auction House.
Disco, the person in charge and auctioneer of this auction house, stood on the stage and introduced his auction items vigorously. A sexy beauty was posing and enlivening the atmosphere, which made these big fish customers' hormones explode and raise the auction prices.
The three Celestial Dragons in the audience were impatiently waiting for the finale of the mermaid. They all wanted to buy this rare mermaid so that they could show off to the other Celestial Dragons.
After all, mermaid slaves are very rare among Celestial Dragons.
The Fish-Man island Ryugu Kingdom is not only a member of the World Government, but also the territory of the Whitebeard Pirates. Over the past decade, fewer and fewer mermaids have appeared in the auction house because of this reason.
On a seat, X Drake, the Marine undercover, looked at this ugly and dark slave auction with a blank expression, but unfortunately he could do nothing.
This world is so corrupt that people are powerless to resist.
This human auction house is the property of the Shichibukai Doflamingo, and is also favored by the world's nobles, the Celestial Dragons.
This let this auction house be the strongest presence in this illegal zone, with a profound background, no one dares to mess with it, and the business is booming.
Apoo watched the slave auction with indifference, especially when he saw a pirate captain being auctioned as a slave, he laughed wantonly, mocking and scorning these captured losers!
Luffy and his gang were waiting for the old man Rayleigh, hoping to get his help and bring him back to exchange information with Shakky.
Only Sanji was paying close attention to the legendary mermaid. It would be such a terrible thing to watch a mermaid being auctioned off as a slave in front of him.
This made Sanji very distressed and he kept smoking.
"Luffy, if possible, I would like to use that money to save that mermaid!"
The knight Sanji, who could not accept seeing the humiliation of a beautiful woman turned into a slave, said to his captain with a solemn expression.
Although Sanji is now the financial officer on the ship, he still has to ask this idiot captain if he wants to use the money. After all, it is all the loot they worked hard to rob from the big bank in the capital of Water Seven.
"Yes, but don't let it affect my purchase of Rayleigh."
Luffy just glanced at his chef, then grinned widely, as if he didn't care about the money at all, as long as he made his crew happy.
"Thank you! Luffy!"
Sanji was a little touched by this, because for his own kindness and principles, he misappropriated the Straw Hat Pirates' small treasury, which made him really sorry for everyone.
"I'm very unhappy with these guys. I don't know if I can blow them away and let all these people go!"
Luffy watched these fanatical rich nobles noisily and happily buying miserable slaves, which made this innocent-hearted protagonist feel disgusted.
All in all, it made him feel very uncomfortable and unhappy, and he wanted to hit someone and beat them all up!
As time passed, the auction continued to sell various slaves and merchandise, and slowly reached its climax.
A huge glass fish tank was pushed out, and there was a green-haired mermaid in it. She was now hugging a starfish tightly, looking extremely frightened.
"Haha, distinguished guests, this is today's finale product, a mermaid from under the 10,000-meter-deep sea!"
"Due to the extremely rare quantity, the starting price of this auction is 100 million beris!"
Auctioneer Disco shouted enthusiastically, because a normal mermaid would start at 70 million beris, but that was the price when the supply was relatively abundant.
Now there is only one mermaid, and there are Celestial Dragons who want to buy her, so he has to raise the price no matter what!
Celestial Dragons are super big fish, no, they are super rich people. There's no way he wouldn't take a little advantage of their spending ways.
He even arranged a person just to make the Celestial Dragons leak a little extra money.
As soon as Disco announced the price, someone started bidding.
"One hundred and twenty million beris!"
"One hundred and fifty million!"
···
The atmosphere at the scene was extremely intense, which made Drake frown. This auction was so wild that they even dared to openly auction citizens from the countries affiliated to the World Government. The most important thing was that Celestial Dragons were rushing to buy her.
And Apoo at the side was marveling. He didn't expect that the price of a weak mermaid had already reached the supernova bounty. It's really hard to compare with others. The rich people on this island are too outrageous at spending money!
He felt that the auction price of this mermaid would soon exceed his bounty of 198 million beris.
Sure enough, his guess was exceeded in the next moment.
"We offer 200 million beris!"
The yellow-haired Sanji gritted his teeth and took out all the money of the Straw Hat Pirates just to save this mermaid.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect the Straw Hat Pirates to be so rich!"
Apoo grinned, his white teeth were like piano keys, with black and white intervals, and there were some air holes on his arms, like some kind of musical instrument.
"Hoo~ho~, just a bunch of commoners! The mermaid is mine! I'll pay 500 million beris!"
The Celestial Dragon Saint Charlos looked at these commoners bidding with disdain, and suppressed them as soon as he opened his mouth.
Celestial Dragons are the world's aristocrats, and all they have is money!
Hearing this price, Sanji and the other Straw Hat Pirates' eyes widened. This was completely beyond their limits.
Even selling Luffy won't help them make enough money!
"Hahahaha~, the price of a weak mermaid actually exceeds the bounty of the strongest supernova. It really made me see the wealth and power of the world's nobility!"
Apoo laughed a little nervously. This was an insult to them, the Supernova Pirates, and the terrifying financial resources of the Celestial Dragons also shocked him.
Buying a mermaid with 500 million beris making it look as easy as buying a newspaper.
Drake also clenched his fists. The heavenly gold that the affiliated countries desperately collected was wasted by the Celestial Dragons and fell into the hands of the underworld emperors like Doflamingo.
The World Government even wants to cut the funding of the Marines and expand the CP organization, which makes both Sengoku and Tsuru very troubled.
Drake had no intention of watching any more. He is afraid that his own righteous heart will completely deteriorate.
When he was a Marine Rear Admiral, he had already seen a lot of darkness. Unexpectedly, after becoming a pirate, he discovered that the world was even darker and more desperate than he imagined.
Amidst the noise, he lowered his head and left the human auction house with a gloomy face.
He does not want to see the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, whom he is loyal to and protects, using the heavenly gold of the allied countries to oppress the civilians of these same countries.
…
On the other side, the Big Daddy Pirates were still having a banquet, attracting many pirates to watch, including various spies and intelligence personnel.
After Kuro received a message, he whispered a few words into his captain's ear, making Basire smile strangely.
Basire left the main seat and went to the toilet.
After a while, he came back and continued to drink and eat meat, but he talked a lot less. There also seemed to be a few people missing around him.
However, let alone the fat manager, the pirates who were watching, and even the spies who were paying close attention, they didn't notice anything wrong. After all, Basire was here.
Even Bonney who was sitting opposite Basire didn't notice anything strange and was still eating and drinking without a care in the world.
Even cadres like Zoro and Burgess didn't notice any changes and were still drinking to celebrate.
In the air, a transparent double-winged seahorse quickly flew towards the human auction house on Grove No.1.
"Captain, are you really going to capture the Celestial Dragons?"
Inside the seahorse's castle, Gin asked Basire in disbelief.
Now the transparent man Absalom was touching the seahorse Noko in order to make him transparent. They left Sabaody's restaurant quietly, avoiding all eyes and ears.
He even made Bentham use his Clone Fruit ability to transform into Basire and stay at the banquet in the restaurant. Even many of his cadres did not notice him leaving.
"What are you afraid of? Someone else will take the blame."
Basire smiled lightly, this action was also his impromptu plan.
He planned to go after the so-called most beautiful woman in the world, the Pirate Empress, and gain her allegiance, power, and even her people.
To conquer Boa Hancock, you may just need to use one Celestial Dragon as a bride price!
Maybe the pirate empress, who is so in love, would fall to Basire's arms on the spot.
He has to fall out with the World Government eventually anyway, so Basire doesn't mind doing something more thorough and getting more benefits out of it.
The most important thing is that he doesn't want to give the beautiful pirate empress to the idiot Luffy.
Maybe he can also ride on Kuma's tourist Bear Paw Express!
At the Grand Hotel, Kuro and Lafitte replaced the Fake Basire and issued orders to immediately gather to board the ship and leave Sabaody Archipelago.
They want to create some alibi for the Big Daddy Pirates.
Although they didn't quite understand why Basire was in such a hurry, the crew members did not dare to disobey the order and had to end the banquet in a hurry.
Basil Hawkins and Urouge were also reminded by Lafitte and temporarily left Sabaody Archipelago for a day and a half to escape the limelight.
Otherwise, they might be attacked by a Marine Admiral, and they can only blame themselves for their bad luck.
Bonney also followed the crew members of the Big Daddy Pirates, boarded the legendary golden airship Ark Maxim, and quickly left the Sabaody Archipelago.
After seeing the Big Daddy Pirates really leaving, the spies and agents reported all the things that happened and how Daddy Basire had conquered the three supernovas.
They just didn't understand why the Big Daddy Pirates suddenly left on the golden ship that was more than half coated, and left Sabaody Archipelago directly, as if they were rushing somewhere.
These intelligence officers also temporarily lost news about the Big Daddy Pirates.
However, the fact that Basire conquered the three Supernova Pirates with ease still shocked all the forces, and the power of the Big Daddy Pirates expanded even more.
…
At the human auction, conflicts still broke out.
After Saint Charlos took a picture of the mermaid, Luffy was very unhappy and wanted to take action directly, but was forcibly held down by Usopp, Johnny and Yosaku.
However, the huge noise they made also attracted the attention of three Celestial Dragons.
Among them, Saint Shalria saw the cute talking raccoon at a glance, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
She immediately ordered her men to snatch it for her.
"Hurry up and capture that cute raccoon for me. I want to get a new pet!"
As she ordered, she threw away the baby panda she was holding and looked at the talking raccoon, thinking that it might be a mink.
The rare race, the mink tribe, is as rare as mermaids.
She didn't expect that her brother could buy a mermaid and she could catch a mink. It seems that they made the right decision by leaving the Holy Land today and coming to Sabaody Archipelago.
"Luffy, save me!"
Chopper was grabbed by the Celestial Dragon's guard in an instant and he screamed for help to Luffy with a look of panic on his face.
"Let go of Chopper!"
Luffy broke free from the oppression of the three cowards of his crew and quickly rushed towards the Celestial Dragon's guards. He quickly shot out with his rubber fists and knocked them away, saving Chopper.
"You dirty commoners, how dare you resist us noble Celestial Dragons!"
Seeing her new pet escaping, Saint Shalria yelled angrily and immediately gave another order for all her guards and agents to take action.
She must definitely catch this cute tanuki today.
"You commoners, go to hell!"
Seeing his sister getting angry, Saint Charlos immediately took out his golden pistol and shot Luffy directly.
But the next moment, a fist more than ten meters long suddenly hit him in the face, sending him flying out instantly and hitting the wall.
"Celestial Dragons are being beaten, run!"
"A Marine Admiral is coming!"
Countless pirates, rich men, and nobles in the auction house were all shocked by Straw Hat Luffy's punch. This guy really dared to strike a Celestial Dragon.
They suddenly felt that something bad was going to happen and immediately began to scramble for their lives!
Seeing that the situation was not good, Apoo immediately ran away and left this place that was soon going to become a bloodbath.
Disco, the person in charge of the auction, was also completely paralyzed. A Celestial Dragon was beaten in his venue, and he was going to have to take some blame. His life was at risk now.
Seeing his son being beaten, the Celestial Dragon Saint Rosward's eyes widened. Without saying a word, he dialed the emergency phone number of a Marine Admiral and asked them to come to rescue them immediately.
He wants all these commoners to die!
"Oops!"
Sanji's scalp was numb at the moment. How could this idiot captain be so impulsive that he actually beat up the Celestial Dragon.
But now he can only bite the bullet and follow Luffy, kicking away the Celestial Dragon's guards and CP agents one by one.
As the two of them kept fighting, the guards fell one by one. Sanji also ran directly to the auction table, rescued the mermaid Camie and the starfish Papago, put them on his shoulders and fled away.
"Luffy! Run!"
Now Sanji could only think of taking these guys out to sea to escape quickly, otherwise they will really be finished here.
"Damn it! You trash!"
Seeing their men being beaten to the ground, Saint Rosward and Shalria were furious. They also took out their golden pistols and fired rapidly at these commoners.
At this time, a powerful Conqueror's Haki was released, and everyone in the auction house had their eyes roll back and lost consciousness, including the two Celestial Dragons.
Boom~!
A gap suddenly opened behind the auction table, and a white-haired old man took a sip of wine as he slowly walked out from the darkness.
Even Luffy with his smooth rubber brain looked at this terrifying white-haired old man with cautiousness.
Usopp, Johnny, Yosaku and Chopper were already trembling all over in fright.
Sanji, who was carrying Camie and Papago, also stood still and froze.
Is this the keeper of the auction?
Seeing the entire auction house collapse, Sanji also swallowed his saliva as cold sweat broke out on his forehead and back.
"This straw hat is very suitable for strong men!"
The white-haired old man smiled calmly, then the terrifying aura faded away and the oppressive feeling of the entire auction also disappeared.
"Awesome! Who are you?"
Luffy did not feel any malice from the old man and immediately looked at him with bright eyes.
"Trouble is coming, it's better to leave quickly!"
Rayleigh had been paying attention to what Straw Hat Luffy was doing, but he didn't expect that he would actually dare to beat up the Celestial Dragons. He really is a lawless guy.
Rayleigh released the slaves behind him and crushed the explosive collars around their necks one by one.
The pirate slave giant Jean Bart also looked at the white-haired old man in shock.
He didn't expect this old man to be so strong!
Crushing a slave's collar with his bare hands is no simple feat, not even the strongest Supernova can do it.
"Yes, yes! Let's run! By the way, uncle, do you know a coater named Rayleigh?"
Luffy said immediately after realizing it, and asked the white-haired old man while running back.
"Kid, I'm Rayleigh, why don't you even know what someone looks like when you're looking for him?"
Rayleigh said a little speechlessly, and ran out with these guys. Jean Bart knew that Rayleigh was a strong person, so he quickly followed him and wanted to hug this thigh tightly.
The other slaves panicked and ran away.
After all these people ran away, an orange seahorse suddenly appeared from thin air in the auction house, and two figures also jumped out.
"It really takes no effort at all! Rayleigh, Kuma, you may all take the blame."
Basire used Observation Haki to check, being careful not to be noticed and paying close attention to anyone who could be awake, but Rayleigh's Conqueror's Haki was still very strong and everyone in the auction house was unconscious, and Kuma was not there either
He grinned and threw the fainted Saint Rosward and Shalria directly into the castle inside of Noko.
Gin was also in the ruins of the wall. He dug out the fainted pig-headed Saint Charlos and took him back to the castle.
"Wow, he's just a bit bruised but otherwise he's completely unharmed even though he's so weak."
Basire chuckled, and disappeared again along with Gin and Noko, leaving the human auction house directly.
This pig-headed idiot, Saint Charlos, has been beaten countless times, but he is still strong, coming out to disgust others time and time again, and his vitality is top-notch, almost like he was born for the sole purpose of being a punching bag.
Shortly after Basire left, the Marines stationed at Sabaody Archipelago rushed over, but they were horrified to find that the noble Celestial Dragons were missing.
This made the already chaotic Sabaody Archipelago become even more chaotic.
Martial law was raised to the highest level.
Celestial Dragons were beaten and Celestial Dragons disappeared, these two things have completely different consequences.
When Marine Admiral Kizaru arrived, he did not directly intercept the pirate supernovas, but rushed to the auction house where the Celestial Dragons disappeared.
You know, retrieving the Celestial Dragons is ten times or even a hundred times more important than catching the criminals.
"What a terrifying Conqueror's Haki! And powerful Armament Haki!"
Kizaru frowned when he saw the fallen people on the ground. He gently touched the table that was cracked by Conqueror's Haki, the big hole that was blasted by violence, and he also looked at the slave collars that were crushed by the high-level armament haki.
He knew that this was an extremely powerful person.
"This is trouble!"
Kizaru had a solemn look on his face. A strong man with such a level of Conqueror's Haki kidnapped three Celestial Dragons. How could he encounter such trouble!
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, this time may be very troublesome! It was a Conqueror's Haki master who kidnapped the Celestial Dragons!"
Kizaru immediately got through the den den mushi of Sengoku and reported back the things he found.
"What? Search for them immediately! Completely block Sabaody Archipelago!"
"Remember, you need to bring them back safe and sound, otherwise you should already know the consequences!"
Sengoku said with unusual solemnity. After hanging up Kizaru's phone call, he immediately sent Aokiji, the SWORD team, and even CP0, to investigate the whereabouts of the Celestial Dragons.
The disappearance of the Celestial Dragons made him feel extremely uneasy.
Could it be that the Whitebeard pirates kidnapped the Celestial Dragons in order to exchange them for Fire Fist Ace?
This idea put great pressure on Sengoku.
He immediately called the Five Elders and asked them to restrain the Celestial Dragons not to leave Mary Geoise during this period.
If the Celestial Dragons were really kidnapped by the Whitebeard Pirates, then this public execution of Fire Fist Ace would become a joke.
Moreover, Ace is the son of Gol D Roger, the Pirate King. If hostages really need to be exchanged, will they do it or not?
Vice Admiral Tsuru also felt very troubled. Judging from the profit motive, the Whitebeard Pirates were indeed the most suspected.
"Did you forget someone? Silvers Rayleigh is also living in seclusion in Sabaody Archipelago!"
"Not only is he a strong Conqueror's Haki user, he is also the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates!"
Tsuru mentioned another possibility, and she felt that Rayleigh being the culprit was more likely than the Whitebeard Pirates, because he is really close and is very familiar with Sabaody Archipelago.
"Inform Kizaru to focus on searching for Rayleigh immediately!"
Sengoku immediately shouted to the intelligence officer, and Kizaru also reported back what he had learned.
According to those who escaped from the human auction house, it was Straw Hat Luffy who took the lead in attacking the Celestial Dragons.
"Monkey D Luffy? Aaaah! ! ! Garp! Look at the great grandson you raised!"
The furious Sengoku smashed his ironwood desk into pieces on the spot. Not only had Luffy become one of this year's Supernovas, he actually beat up the Celestial Dragons. What a crime!
"Luffy beat up those pieces of shit?"
Garp also widened his eyes, but his eyes were filled with admiration rather than anger.
"Get out of here!"
"Fire Fist Ace's affairs are not over yet, and here comes another of your grandsons causing trouble! You bastard!"
Golden light erupted from Sengoku's body, and with his big golden palm, he slapped the Marine hero out of his office with an angry slap, making a big hole in the wall.
Garp fell into the Marineford Plaza, but he quickly got up and dusted off his clothes like it was nothing.
He glanced around Marineford, then quickly boarded his dog-headed warship and rushed to the Sabaody Archipelago.
His eldest grandson Ace is already in jail waiting to be executed, and he will not allow a second grandson to enter Impel down!
Shakky's Rip-Off Bar.
Rayleigh and the Straw Hat Pirates have returned to this place safely, successfully avoiding the commotion outside.
Among the slaves rescued from the human auction house, only the giant Jean Bart still followed Rayleigh closely and had no intention of leaving.
This slave pirate who was supposed to join Trafalgar Law's Heart Pirates, saw that the Straw Hat Crew and Rayleigh seemed to have a close relationship, and Straw Hat Luffy casually invited him.
He also considered that the old man Rayleigh would not go to sea again, and he wanted to continue his life as a pirate. After only a short period of thinking, he really agreed to Luffy's invitation and boarded the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.
In this way, after the ship's doctor Chopper, the Straw Hat Pirates have added another official crew member.
Luffy was very happy with the addition of the new member, and even wanted to hold a party right away, not knowing what a big disaster he had caused.
Rayleigh didn't know that the Celestial Dragons had disappeared, and thought he had just stunned them. He had also confirmed that the Celestial Dragon who was beaten violently by Luffy did not die under his Observation Haki.
So this shouldn't be a big problem.
He wanted to help the Straw Hat Crew avoid the limelight of beating a Celestial Dragon. After the Celestial Dragons and Marine Admiral left, he would help them to coat their ship and send them to the New World.
But then he learned that the Straw Hat Pirates were coming to the Sabaody Archipelago for something else and had no intention of entering the New World so soon.
Luffy just wants to go to Marineford or Impel down to find a chance to rescue his brother Ace.
The young and inexperienced Straw Hat Pirates, let alone entering the New World, they didn't even know much about having to coat the ship in order to reach Fish-Man Island.
This left Rayleigh a little speechless. Is this really the intelligence capability and preparation that a Supernova Pirates group should have?
"Luffy, rescuing Ace is not something you need to think about."
"He is a commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and his captain will take action for him!"
Pluton Rayleigh took a look at the crew configuration of the Straw Hat Pirates and said very seriously.
With this little strength, they are not qualified to rescue Ace, and if they try, it will be like sending themselves to be captured or even killed.
"I don't care! Ace is my brother, I must save him."
Luffy said stubbornly, with a very stubborn face and an extremely firm tone. There was no way he would leave his brother alone in such a situation.
The conversation between the two made the newly joined Jean Bart a little panicked.
If Ace hadn't been arrested, he would have been very happy that Captain Luffy had a brother who was the commander of a Yonkō's crew.
But now, he didn't expect that they were planning to go to the heavily guarded Naval Headquarters to rescue the Fire Fist Ace who was about to be publicly executed with their current strength.
This made him afraid.
Will his first battle after joining the Straw Hat Pirates be a world-class battle in Marineford?
Thinking about it makes him tremble a little bit.
"Are you actually Ace's younger brother?"
Rayleigh and Shakky asked with a little surprise. They only knew that Shanks entrusted Roger's straw hat to Luffy's hands. They didn't know that Luffy had a brotherly relationship with Fire Fist Ace.
"Alas, but your strength is still too weak!"
Rayleigh directly refused the request to help Luffy go to Marineford or Impel down.
He even felt that the current Straw Hat Pirates were not even qualified to enter the New World, let alone participate in the war between the Marines and the Whitebeard Pirates.
He kind of wants to train them in haki and then let them enter the New World, but this level of strength is really not enough.
He was worried that the straw hat might have been given to the wrong person.
"Then we'll go by ourselves. Please ask Grandma Shakky to sell us an eternal pose to Marineford."
Luffy was only a little disappointed that he didn't get the help of Rayleigh, but he still wanted to save Ace.
"Can you bear to watch your crew die with you?"
Rayleigh shook the wine glass in his hand and asked Luffy calmly.
He admires Luffy's fearless aura, and also likes his precious spirit of being willing to sacrifice his life for his friends and brother.
It reminded him of Roger, their characters are very similar.
"As long as they send me to my destination, I will save Ace myself!"
Luffy glanced at his crew, and then said seriously because he really didn't want his partners to risk their lives for him.
"Luffy!"
"Captain!"
The crew members of the Straw Hat Pirates shouted loudly, with shock in their eyes and said they wouldn't let Luffy go alone, who then attempted to dissuade them, but in the end they seemed determined to die, and they would not abandon their captain.
Even the newly joined Jean Bart was infected by this atmosphere, and his eyes became firm.
"Then I will give you special training in the next few days. Then we will see the movements of the Whitebeard Pirates, and then you can join in the fun!"
Rayleigh smiled and said that. He could already detect the Conqueror's Haki in Luffy, so he did not continue to dissuade him because he knew it would be useless.
A man with the qualifications of a king will not give up any decision easily.
"Really? That's great! I want to learn that move you just used to stun everyone with just a look!"
Luffy immediately said excitedly, because he just wanted to increase his strength quickly so that he could have a greater chance of rescuing Ace.
"Conqueror's Haki is not something that can be learned in a few days. You should see if you can awaken and learn Observation Haki and Armament Haki."
Rayleigh said with a chuckle. At this time, the commotion outside seemed to be getting more and more intense, and the sounds of artillery explosions and houses collapsing kept coming, which made him a little confused.
Will there be such an exaggerated riot if the Celestial Dragons were just beaten a bit?
Is this a comprehensive round-up of all pirates in the Sabaody Archipelago?
Suddenly, an air bubble shot in.
Rayleigh's eyes sharpened and he quickly blocked the incoming object.
The bear's paw-shaped bubble burst, and a piece of paper floated out.
Rayleigh caught it and looked at it, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
[Three Celestial Dragons are missing, please evacuate quickly!]
Shakky also came over to take a look and frowned. Didn't Rayleigh and Luffy say they just knocked out three Celestial Dragons?
Why are three Celestial Dragons missing now?
"It looks like we are in big trouble! Take the secret passage immediately and leave Sabaody Archipelago first!"
Rayleigh said quickly, he knew that they seemed to have strayed into the center of some big event.
When he left, those Celestial Dragons were still lying unconscious in the auction house.
In the short time it took for the Marines to rush over, someone actually took advantage of the gap.
It was obvious that someone wanted him to take the blame.
This situation is not good.
But who is this guy who sent the note?
Why remind and help them?
Sabaody Archipelago, Lawless Zone.
A big fat man carrying a big ax led a team of robots in the shape of Bartholomew Kuma in a constant search, killing and capturing the pirates with bounties on them one by one along the way.
The lasers never stopped, and all pirates with bounties on their heads were successfully identified and attacked.
Pirates with bounties ranging from 50 million to 90 million are vulnerable to these robots called pacifists.
Even the supernova Apoo, who had a bounty of 198 million beris, could not defeat a pacifist. He was attacked by Sentomaru and a pacifist together, and was easily beaten, but luckily managed to get away.
If Sentomaru and the others hadn't been searching for the Celestial Dragons, they would have been chasing Apoo to the death.
The pacifist team has slowly been searching and killing all the way to the Grove where Shakky's bar is located.
On the other side, a golden laser quickly appeared on the sea port, and the Marine Admiral Kizaru ordered to completely block Sabaody Archipelago.
His laser was constantly killing pirates who wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape. He quickly searched the pirate ships for the whereabouts of the Celestial Dragons. If he didn't find them, he would directly sink the pirate ship.
The port suddenly turned into a sea of fire, and countless pirate ships were destroyed.
The entire Sabaody Archipelago has entered the highest level of martial law, and no pirate ship is allowed to leave.
Marine and World government officials stationed in Sabaody Archipelago were all out in force, just to find the Celestial Dragons as quickly as possible.
Kizaru also ordered a focused search for Silvers Rayleigh, an important suspect.
Although he doesn't want to face an old strong guy like Rayleigh, the disappearance of the Celestial Dragons this time is something too serious, and he must find them as soon as possible.
Even the Pirate King's right hand cannot be spared.
What's more, Aokiji and CP0 agents are coming now. Even if Rayleigh shows up, as long as Kizaru holds him back for some time, they can surround him and maybe capture him.
Although Kizaru is confident in his own strength, he doesn't think that he can beat Rayleigh easily.
But their battle would have too much impact, and he was worried that they would destroy the entire Sabaody Archipelago, and even accidentally kill the Celestial Dragons who might still be in the island.
So he still wanted to wait for a few more reinforcements to arrive before they could surround Rayleigh together.
Not only does this increase the success rate, but there is also someone else to share the responsibility with.
···
Rayleigh had already led the Straw Hat Crew and quickly ran towards their pirate ship to see them off quickly.
Fortunately, the novices of the Straw Hat Pirates did not park their ship in the port, but landed in a remote place as usual.
Otherwise, he might really have to fight Kizaru in order to help them escape.
However, when he saw the small sailboat of the Straw Hat Pirates, he was a little numb!
Can this shabby little sailboat really sail in the bad weather of the New World?
Even the main mast seemed to be cracked, and it was only reinforced with some iron sheets, making it look a bit shaky.
Fortunately, this time they were not entering the New World, but escaping from the Sabaody Archipelago, so they could still make do with it.
"Luffy, if you enter the New World in the future, you must change to a better ship, otherwise with this small sailboat you will not be able to sail in the New World."
Rayleigh seriously reminded Luffy. Thinking that if you want to inherit Roger's will, you can't just rely on passion and innocence.
Even if they don't have a pirate ship built using Adam wood, they should at least have a larger and stronger ship.
"Rayleigh-san, Merry is also our partner!"
As the one who cared the most about the Going Merry, Usopp quickly spoke after hearing Rayleigh's words.
The Merry is a pirate ship given to them by Kaya, the girl Ussop likes.
The other crew members also have very deep feelings for this pirate ship and are full of happy memories.
"But it's definitely scarred and too damaged to keep going."
Rayleigh spread his hands and said, as a coating veteran and a legendary pirate who has been sailing for decades, he is also very familiar with pirate ships.
He could tell at a glance that this little sailboat had only a few days left.
"Yeah…"
Luffy whispered sadly, and although he was reluctant to part with the Merry, he would choose to change to a stronger pirate ship for the sake of his journey to become the Pirate King.
"Luffy, you don't really want to change ships, do you?"
Usopp looked at the silent Luffy in disbelief, feeling a little panicked.
"Let's talk about these things after we escape this manhunt! Get on the boat quickly and let's go!"
Rayleigh frowned when he saw that Luffy seemed a little uncomfortable with his crew.
Discord between partners is a bad sign.
At the urging of Rayleigh, the crew of the Straw Hat Pirates put aside their unhappy emotions and quickly boarded the ship.
However, at this moment, a yellow flash of light appeared.
"Hey, I finally found you. You really know how to hide in a remote place!"
"Dark King Rayleigh, Straw Hat Luffy, I never thought you were really mixed together."
'Yasakani no Magatama!'
As soon as Kizaru appeared, he immediately expanded his attack without saying a word. Countless golden laser bullets were fired at Rayleigh and the Straw Hat Pirates, also covering the Going Merry.
"It's really big trouble!"
Rayleigh quickly drew his sword and slashed with it, sending out a huge sword energy that directly destroyed the laser beams all over the sky and chopped Kizaru who was in the air into light elements.
This move is not much worse than the sword energy used by red-haired Shanks when he saved Uta.
"Oh~, so scary~"
A bunch of light particles quickly condensed into the shape of Kizaru, suspended in the air, with a fake frightened look on his wretched face.
"Luffy, go! I'll stop him!"
Rayleigh said with a solemn expression. It would be no problem if he fought Kizaru for a few hours, but if a large Marine force came to support him, he would have no choice but to flee.
In a protracted duel over several days and nights, he would most likely not be able to outlast Kizaru. After all, he was now in his seventies, an old guy born in the same year as Garp the Fist, and his energy was no longer what it used to be.
Kizaru is about 20 years younger than Rayleigh, and is now in his fifties, considered to be at the peak of his strength.
"I just wanted to compete with you."
Kizaru didn't care about Straw Hat Luffy and the others, because he saw Sentomaru coming over quickly with a pacifist.
In fact, Kizaru did not want to do anything to Garp's grandson himself.
After all, he didn't want to be on Garp's bad side. All he wants now is to laze about and work steadily until he retires.
"But, have you kidnapped the Celestial Dragons?"
Kizaru asked with a serious expression, it would be great if the Celestial Dragons could be rescued and everyone could go on their way.
"They were still there when I left!"
Rayleigh narrowed his eyes slightly and replied, these Marines are indeed doubting him now, and he doesn't know which bastard captured these Celestial Dragons. They really want to kill him!
"Then we can only fight!"
'Ama no Murakumo!'
Kizaru was not satisfied with this result. As he spoke, a golden laser sword appeared in his hand and slashed at Rayleigh instantly.
In this case of the disappearance of Celestial Dragons, he must show his strength and let the superiors know the results of his efforts.
He must show them how he fought alone against Silvers Rayleigh, the right hand of the Pirate King, and it was very hard.
The fierce battle between the two suddenly became fierce, with all kinds of sword energy flying around, explosions everywhere, and smoke filling the sky.
Sentomaru also led the pacifista to attack, firing lasers directly at the Straw Hat Pirates who wanted to board the ship and escape.
Boom~!
There was a huge explosion in the Going Merry, with thick smoke billowing out and flames coming out of the deck.
"Merry!"
The crew of the Straw Hat Pirates shouted angrily, and Luffy had already clenched his fists and rushed to attack the hateful robot.
As a result, his rubber fist hit the pacifista, unable to break through the defense at all, and was driven away by the laser.
Sanji, Chopper in enhanced form, and the newly added Jean Bart immediately went to help and deal with this pacifista together.
Sanji's kicks and Chopper's hooves couldn't do any damage even if they kicked the pacifista with all their might.
However, the great strength of Jean Bart was able to knock the pacifista to the ground, causing it to shoot its laser into the sky.
Usopp was still weeping and frantically putting out the fire on the Going Merry. He couldn't watch the pirate ship on which his feelings were entrusted be destroyed just like this.
Johnny and Yosaku joined forces to fight the big fat man with the ax, but they were beaten by him until they vomited blood and flew backwards.
Sentomaru can already use Haki and is not someone these little pirates can deal with.
Even the current Straw Hat Luffy may not be able to defeat him, the security captain of the science force.
"Straw Hat boy, you actually dared to attack the Celestial Dragons and kidnapped them afterwards. Hand them over!"
Sentomaru brandished his big ax and rushed towards Luffy, not paying attention to minions like Johnny and Yosaku.
"Bastard! I'm going to beat you all!"
When Luffy saw his partners being beaten until they vomited blood, he became furious, his whole body became red and started steaming as he entered the second gear, and quickly rushed towards Sentomaru.
"It's no use, kid!"
'Ashigara Dokkoi!'
Sentomaru spread his palms, released Haki directly, and struck Luffy away from the air.
"Ah! It hurts! Why does it hurt so much when you hit someone with your hands!"
Luffy rolled dozens of times on the ground, got up quickly, and said with a somewhat painful expression. He didn't expect that the enemy's palms could hurt his rubber body so much, it was almost as painful as his grandfather's fists.
"Kid, this is Haki!"
Sentomaru continued to rush towards Luffy, while Sanji and Jean Bart were also cornered by the pacifista, while Chopper had already rushed to treat Johnny and Yosaku.
As Jean Bart's shoulder was pierced by a laser beam, and Sanji was slapped so hard that he vomited blood, the Straw Hat Pirates were completely in a crisis.
The pacifista went straight towards Jean Bart, aiming the laser at his head, and Sanji's bounty order was only live, so the pacifista could not kill him.
Jean Bart clutched his injured shoulder and looked desperately at the laser that lit up in the mouth of the pacifista. Unexpectedly, he had already escaped from slavery at the auction house, but he still could not escape the fate of death.
"Jean Bart!"
Sanji, Luffy, and Chopper all shouted anxiously, because even if it was a new crew member, they couldn't bear to see him die.
At this moment, a huge figure that looked almost like a pacifista suddenly appeared. This figure made Sanji and Luffy even more desperate.
If they couldn't defeat even one of them, how could they defeat the second one?
But unexpectedly, the next moment this huge figure slapped the pacifista away, saving Jean Bart from certain death.
"Hey! Bartholomew Kuma, what are you doing?!"
Sentomaru watched Kuma slap the pacifista away, and immediately asked angrily. Even Kizaru, who was fighting Rayleigh in the distance, also noticed the abnormality here.
However, Kuma ignored the rebuke and kept doing his own thing.
"If you were to travel, where would you like to go?"
Kuma walked towards Sanji and Jean Bart as he asked gently.
But he didn't wait for the two of them to react, and slapped each of them, sending them flying instantly and disappearing from the place.
"Sanji! Jean Bart!"
Luffy's eyes widened and his pupils shrank suddenly. He thought this guy had saved Jean Bart, but unexpectedly he 'killed' his two friends afterwards.
"Stop! Kuma!"
Sentomaru shouted loudly, how could these prisoners who had obviously been captured be taken away by Kuma? As Vegapunk's bodyguard, how could he not know about his Paw fruit ability.
However, Kuma still ignored Sentomaru's warning and continued to walk towards Chopper and the seriously injured Johnny and Yosaku.
"Asshole! Don't underestimate me!"
Chopper took out three blue balls at once and was about to throw them into his mouth.
But the next moment, he disappeared from the spot and was shot away.
"It's actually a rumble ball?"
Bartholomew Kuma looked at the three rumble balls in his hand and murmured. It seemed that they were rare things like rumble balls No.3 or 4. How did the little raccoon get it?
Could it be related to Basire?
"Chopper! Johnny! Yosaku!"
Kuma ignored Luffy's shouting and Sentomaru's scolding, and slapped Johnny and Yosaku away.
"Usopp, run!"
Luffy, with red eyes and tears, quickly rushed towards Usopp who had just put out the fire.
But Kuma was faster and appeared in front of Usopp in an instant, slapping away the long nose that looked frightened.
"No!"
Luffy fell to his knees and cried in pain. All his crew members were gone, not a single one was left.
High in the sky, the transparent Noko was flapping his wings, but Basire, who was in the castle, did not take action in the end.
Catching Usopp in full view of Kizaru, Rayleigh, and Kuma is indeed not worth it.
"Let's go and catch up with the Ark Maxim. Let's go directly to the Kuja Island Amazon Lily"
Basire said lightly, and the seahorse quickly left Sabaody Archipelago flying in a certain direction.
'I don't know how many times Kuma's Bear Paw travel bubble is faster than the Ark Maxim'
Basire chuckled, but even if Straw Hat Luffy arrived a day or two faster, he could still handle the Pirate Empress. After all, he had three Celestial Dragons' betrothal gifts' in his hand!
As Bartholomew Kuma sent away the crew of the Straw Hat Pirates, Kizaru discovered a bigger clue and quickly stopped fighting Rayleigh.
So he flashed over, wanting to see what was going on.
And Rayleigh was also very worried about Luffy. He can't just watch something happen to the little guy who inherited Roger's will.
However, the two of them still arrived a step too late.
Kuma was already in front of Luffy, ignoring Luffy's angry eyes.
"We won't see each other again"
Kuma smiled slightly and slapped Luffy away. Sentomaru, who didn't know the inside story, thought that Kuma really wanted to kill Straw Hat Luffy upon hearing those words.
After doing all this, Kuma stood there quietly without leaving, as if waiting for Kizaru and Rayleigh to come over.
"Kuma! I will definitely report everything to him truthfully!"
Sentomaru said angrily, Kuma actually slapped his Pacifista PX-1 away, he was really angry.
"Kuma, do you know the consequences of doing this?"
"Also, were those Celestial Dragons hidden by you?"
Countless yellow lights gathered quickly, and Kizaru looked at the Shichibukai seriously. He remembered Kuma's ability, and it seemed that it could be used to send away and hide the Celestial Dragons.
In this case, the suspicion towards Kuma is also very high.
"I didn't touch the Celestial Dragons"
Kuma said expressionlessly, to be honest, this situation is completely beyond his control now, after all, they never wanted to capture the Celestial Dragons.
In fact, he was suspicious of Basire, but he had no evidence.
And the Big Daddy Pirates seemed to have left Sabaody Archipelago even before the Celestial Dragons were beaten.
"You'd better explain it to the World government yourself, and come back with me now!"
Kizaru feels that Kuma is here just to take the blame, and he will be the first suspect. Of course, Rayleigh is also a major suspect.
Seeing Luffy being sent away, Rayleigh paused, glanced at Kuma sharply, and left quickly.
It's useless to have a conflict with this Shichibukai now. Luffy can't be saved, and he might even face the dilemma of being beaten.
Seeing Rayleigh running away quickly, Kizaru thought for a moment and did not pursue him. The key now is to arrest the 'traitor' Bartholomew Kuma. This guy is too suspicious, and he must be watched carefully.
Kizaru also planned to wait until Aokiji and CP0 arrived before slowly hunting down Rayleigh.
However, the next moment, without Kizaru making a move, Kuma quickly fired numerous pressure cannons and attacked Rayleigh who was running away.
Kuma's move made Kizaru raise his eyebrows. What is going on? This Shichibukai wants to start a fight with Dark King Rayleigh?
Rayleigh was well prepared and could easily avoid the dense pressure cannons, but his eyes narrowed. This bear paw pressure cannon was very similar to the bear paw bubble that had previously informed them to leave.
At this moment, after he dodged a strange bear paw bubble, it suddenly exploded in front of him, and a paper ball appeared, which happened to catch Kizaru's sight.
Rayleigh frowned, but quickly grabbed it and evacuated the area.
Kuma did not continue to pursue, but stayed in place quietly, his eyes a little blank, and they didn't know what he was thinking.
Kizaru touched his chin and looked at him. He seemed to have thought of something, but he didn't seem to care much.
Sentomaru quickly searched the damaged Going Merry, but found nothing, and couldn't find any clues about the Celestial Dragons.
Kizaru didn't bother to destroy the little junk, he just took Kuma and returned to the Marine station in Sabaody Archipelago, planning to wait until Aokiji and CP0 arrived to question this guy together.
Sentomaru summoned other pacifistas to continue searching for the pirates in Sabaody Archipelago and looking for traces of the Celestial Dragons, but the riots still did not stop.
After everyone left, a few cautious unknown people quickly boarded the Going Merry, drove the broken ship away, moved its position, and hid it.
On the clothes of several people, there seemed to be a faint emblem of Big Daddy Works.
···
Rayleigh quickly returned to Shakky's rip-off bar before starting to read the content on the paper.
"Revolutionary Army? Luffy's father's friend? Sent Luffy to Amazon Lily and want me to pick him up?"
Rayleigh frowned slightly, but he also breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Luffy was not dead.
At this time, Shakky also returned to the bar. Through the secret passage, she successfully released the mermaid Camie and the starfish Papago back to the sea.
"It's no longer safe here. I'm going to Amazon Lily now. Do you want to go with me?"
Rayleigh told Shakky what had just happened. He was now going to bring back Luffy, otherwise the reckless boy might really be killed by the female warriors of the Kuja tribe.
After all, almost everyone can use Armament Haki over there.
As for Shakky, the owner of the rip-off bar, she also has another identity, that is, she is the Empress of Amazon Lily from 2 generations before the current Boa Hancock.
For the sake of love, she voluntarily gave up her throne and disappeared from Amazon Lily.
After Rayleigh retired, Shakky has been with him, living a happy and leisurely married life in seclusion in Sabaody Archipelago.
"You go ahead, I won't go this time. The recent news are too interesting, and I don't want to miss these exciting events."
Shakky lit a lady's cigarette, blew out a smoke ring, and said with a smile. As for safety, she has the strength and means to protect herself.
"Oh well."
Rayleigh spread his hands and said it didn't matter. After all, Sabaody Archipelago is now under martial law. No pirate ships can sail, and no pirate ships or merchant ships appear on the sea, otherwise they will be attacked by the Marines.
He also planned to swim directly to the Island of Women.
···
On the other side, Basire successfully caught up with the Ark Maxim.
Under his orders, they rushed directly to the Island of Women this time and will not go to Fish-Man Island for the time being. The crew of the Big Daddy Pirates had no objection to this.
Because no one will disobey orders from Basire.
At most, just a few of his women complained about him just wanting to go there for the so called most beautiful woman in the world.
And Basire did not deny that he indeed wanted to conquer Boa Hancock.
Crocodile and Gecko Moria, who had already met her, both respected their captain's courage, but they didn't expect that he would actually dare to provoke that beautiful snake with an extremely bad personality.
The Pirate Empress Boa Hancock is famous for being incredibly arrogant and difficult to get along with, and her Devil Fruit ability is also very difficult to handle.
However, they also hope that Basire can conquer the Pirate Empress, a powerful person with Conqueror's Haki.
Then the forces on their side will become more powerful, and it will not be difficult to reach the top of the Yonkōs.
The Ark Maxim doesn't have to fight gravity due to the Float Fruit's ability, and is accelerated by the Thunder Fruit's power system, as well as the enhanced acceleration of a large number of wind dials.
The speed of this golden ship has been greatly increased.
They were flying straight to the Island of Women which is in the Calm Belt.
The news that the Celestial Dragons were beaten and then disappeared, and the Sabaody Archipelago riots spread rapidly around the world.
Seeing these news, Big News Morgans' beak almost broke with laughter. These news were dozens of times more exciting than Basire's conquest of three supernovas.
He didn't care about the reputation of the Celestial Dragons and he still dared to report it. Even if the Celestial Dragons sent one billion beris as cover money, it was completely useless.
How could he let such big news go?
He even admired the unknown guy who dared to kidnap the Celestial Dragons. He really did something big that no one in the world had dared to do before.
At the urging of Morgans, the editorial department immediately typed out the news and put it into printing as fast as they could.
Why should the newspaper be sent out tomorrow morning? He will send it out as soon as it is printed. Even though it is already afternoon, he still wants to send out the news.
…
Inside Noko's castle.
Basire looked at the three frightened Celestial Dragons. To be honest, this Saint Shalria looked pretty good if you ignored the awful clothes.
He didn't expect that there were such beautiful women among the idiot Celestial Dragons. You know, most of the Celestial Dragon men are quite ugly, as if their looks reflected their personalities, but the women seem to be pretty good looking.
"Maybe you don't have to die"
Looking at Shalria's fearful expression, Basire raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I wonder how is the taste of a Celestial Dragon."
As for the two male Celestial Dragons, they're already sentenced to death.
He wonders if Boa Hancock, a woman who becomes paralyzed by the mere sight of Celestial Dragons, dares to kill them herself.
He's really looking forward to it!
No matter what happens, Boa Hancock cannot escape from Basire's hands. Whether it is the slave brand on her back or the fact that he is sending Celestial Dragons to her door now, the Pirate Empress cannot escape from his claws.
She could only become a part of harem and be completely bound to Basire.
···
The next day.
While the Big Daddy Pirates were flying to the Island of Women, Straw Hat Luffy was also flying there in the bear paw bubble, and even Rayleigh was swimming in the same direction.
The suspect, Bartholomew Kuma, has been taken into Vegapunk's laboratory by the World Government, and all his consciousness has been washed away in advance.
In the original work, Kuma was completely cleared of his consciousness two days before the Summit War. Now the World Government is very angry because of the disappearance of the Celestial Dragons and the Straw Hat Pirates incident.
Now Kuma was completely turned into a puppet about a week in advance.
Before his consciousness was erased, Kuma made several requests to Vegapunk and gave away some supplies and technology, so he voluntarily became an experimental subject and completed his private deal with Vegapunk.
The big news about the disappearance of the Celestial Dragons has already spread all over the world. Under this headline, the matter of Basire conquering three supernovas is simply small news.
Countless people were speculating which ruthless person kidnapped three Celestial Dragons at once. Could it be the revolutionary army? Or the Whitebeard Pirates? Or is it some hidden player?
The World Government and Marines have also been waiting for the conditions behind the kidnapping of Celestial Dragons, but no one showed up to negotiate on the second or third day.
This led Sengoku and Tsuru to speculate that the kidnapper was most likely not a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Otherwise they would have already made an offer to trade for Firefist Ace by now.
They didn't get any information from Kuma, and now they can only pin the suspicions on Rayleigh, the remnants of the Roger Pirates and the Revolutionary Army.
Of course, the Big Daddy Pirates are also suspected because they were also at the Sabaody Archipelago that day, even though they had left early.
The Marine Admirals Kizaru and Aokiji also teamed up with CP0 agents to conduct a large-scale cleansing of Sabaody Archipelago to find the whereabouts of Dark King Rayleigh and the Celestial Dragons.
This encirclement and suppression operation caused the elimination of most pirates on the island.
The supernovas of this generation, the Magician Basil Hawkins, Big-eater Jewelry Bonney, and the Mad Monk Urouge were recruited by the Big Daddy Pirates. With the reminders of Kuro and Lafitte, Hawkins and Urouge evacuated early and successfully escaped.
Red Flag Drake was "seriously injured" and escaped. Scratchmen Apoo was seriously injured and disappeared from Sabaody Archipelago. His whereabouts are still unknown as he hid very well.
Phoenix Pazer was captured directly, and Straw Hat Luffy was "killed" by Bartholomew Kuma of the Shichibukai.
Whitebeard II Edward Weevil and miss Buckingham Stussy were forced to join the Shichibukai in advance under the pressure of the Marine, taking the place of the Knight of the Sea Jinbe and supplementing the personnel of the Shichibukai.
When Garp arrived at Sabaody Archipelago, he knew that his grandson had been sent away by Kuma and was probably safe, but he still caused a lot of trouble for Kuma.
In the end, Kizaru and the CP0 agents had to help protect Kuma together.
This is Dr. Vegapunk's most important experiment, and he must not die here.
The angry Garp could only work with other Marines to hunt down all the pirates in Sabaody Archipelago and Rayleigh in order to vent his anger.
The supernova Phoenix Pazer was unlucky enough to encounter an angry Garp and was punched by this old monster until his neck was bent.
With just one blow, a supernova was successfully destroyed.
The three bloody days of Sabaody Archipelago showed these pirates what hell is.
The disappearance of three Celestial Dragons caused Sabaody Archipelago to bleed for three full days. Two Marine Admirals and a Marine hero were dispatched, as well as a CP0 team, countless CP agents, and pacifistas.
This also lets the people and pirates of the world know the terrible consequences of provoking the Celestial Dragons.
With this lineup, even if a Yonkō's pirate group comes, they would have trouble coming out unscathed.
Because the Celestial Dragons are still missing, the World Government and Naval Headquarters have stepped up their search for the Whitebeard Pirates and increased their troops to suppress the development of the Revolutionary Army.
Moreover, the World Government also gathered the Shichibukai in advance, saying that they would introduce the new Shichibukai to them.
However, Basire and Gecko Moria both refused to gather for the time being, citing personal matters, and they would not be free until at least a few days later.
For this reason, the World Government and Marines were dissatisfied with them.
However, as they are about to go to war with the Whitebeard Pirates, it is difficult for them to push the two Shichibukai too much.
Their lawlessness can only be tolerated temporarily, and now it will take about two years for Vegapunk's Seraphim plan to succeed.
When the Seraphims form a fighting force, they will immediately clean up these disobedient Shichibukai and abolish the Shichibukai system!
The Whitebeard Pirates who were hiding in the front part of the New World were both happy and annoyed after seeing the news about the kidnapping incident of Celestial Dragons in Sabaody Archipelago. Why didn't they think of such a method?
But now, even if they want to kidnap the Celestial Dragons in exchange for Ace, there is no other way, because they have already retreated to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and will not give them another chance.
"Pops, if we can find the force that kidnapped the Celestial Dragons, maybe we can 'buy' a Celestial Dragon and use it to exchange for Ace."
Marco said with bright eyes, if that were the case, they wouldn't have to fight to the death with the Marines.
To be honest, they actually know that they can't beat the Marines.
At best, they wanted to rescue Ace by force and escape back to the New World. They had no illusions about winning the war head on.
"Immediately release the news in the underworld that our Whitebeard Pirates are willing to use 5 billion beris to purchase the Celestial Dragons!"
Whitebeard thought for a while and said that if the problem could be solved with money, he would not want so many sons to go to Naval Headquarters to work hard and risk their lives.
He has sixteen squadrons on his own ship and more than forty affiliated pirate groups under his command. If each of the captains and commanders pay 100 million beris, they will easily gather more than 5 billion beris.
"Yes, Pops!"
Marco said excitedly, because he didn't expect that apart from a head-on confrontation with the Marines, God would give them another option at this time.
With the huge power of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the fact that the underworld was willing to show respect to the Yonkō Whitebeard, the news spread quickly.
Of course, the World Government, which has the CP0 spy Queen of the Pleasure District Stussy, also got the news immediately.
"Despicable pirates! They actually want to use 5 billion beris to buy the lives of our Celestial Dragons!"
The Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise also got the news, and they cursed Whitebeard. At the same time, they were also very eager to catch the criminals who dared to kidnap their people.
For this reason, these Celestial Dragons families continue to put pressure on the Five Elders and Marines, asking them to rescue the kidnapped people as soon as possible.
"Fufufufu~, 5 billion beris, this is the price of the Op-Op Fruit, higher than the bounty of three of the Four Emperors. This old guy Whitebeard is really generous!"
Doflamingo laughed and said that things were getting more and more interesting, and he also felt the nervous pleasure of seeing Celestial Dragons suffer.
He also wants to destroy the Celestial Dragons and destroy the world.
If he can't enjoy the status of god, then he will destroy them!
Even if the underworld and various bounty hunters covet the money, they dare not make any move.
After all, provoking the Celestial Dragons is more serious than provoking the Four Emperors.
The bounty on the Four Emperors is more than 4 billion and 5 billion beris, and no one has been able to get the bounty in all these years.
Suddenly, the unknown person who kidnapped the Celestial Dragons became famous.
Some people admire him, some worship him, and some just sneer at how he was going to be killed by the World Government.
However, three or four days have passed, and this unknown person still has not contacted the World Government to negotiate terms, nor has he contacted the Whitebeard Pirates in exchange for a 5 billion bounty.
This unknown person seemed to have completely disappeared without a trace, just like the three Celestial Dragons. There was no movement at all.
And the culprit is currently flying above the Calm Belt and is on his way to the Island of Women.
Straw Hat Luffy, who had been flying in the air for three days, finally crashed into the remote forest of that same island.
After this guy fell, he immediately wanted to find his nakamas, but after three days of starvation, he was so weak that he looked for food everywhere. Whether it was a big wild boar, various mushrooms, or even poisonous mushrooms, he swallowed them all.
As a result, this rubber man got his whole body covered with energy-sucking red mushrooms, and he fainted in the forest.
At this time, the warriors of the Kuja tribe, Marguerite, Aphelandra, and Sweet Pea, who were hunting in the forest, discovered this stranger who was covered in mushrooms.
They took Luffy back to treat him, removing the poisonous mushrooms from his body, and even tried pulling out his other "mushroom" several times. However, they couldn't pull it out even after they pulled it to a length of one meter without breaking.
So they could only let the stubborn mushroom go for the time being and see if they could burn it with fire after taking a bath.
They changed the unconscious stranger into a lace dress and waited for him to wake up.
On the outskirts of the island, Vice Admiral Momonga once again arrived in the waters of the Island of Women and began his persuasion mission to convince the Pirate Empress to respond to the World government's forced summons of the Shichibukai.
But this arrogant beauty still doesn't want to go to Marineford, and doesn't want to serve those Celestial Dragons at all.
Hearing the Vice Admiral using the World Government and Marines to threaten her, Boa Hancock's face became even more unhappy. She launched an attack on them because of the disagreement, turning the sailors of the warship into stone.
Only Momonga was left behind, but he had to stab himself to block the charm of the Pirate Empress and avoid being petrified.
Then the Pirate Empress asked the Kuja Pirates to return home, not even bothering to answer the Vice Admiral's shouts to undo the petrification of the sailors.
Boa Hancock returned to Amazon Lily, and returned to her palace amidst the cheers of her people.
"Hancock! You should agree to the Marine Vice Admiral's request. After the Marine got the technology for their warships to cross the Calm Belt, our advantage disappeared!
If you continue to be willful like this, our tribe will fall into war and we might even face destruction."
A short old woman holding a newspaper rushed over and shouted, now that Boa Hancock has repeatedly refused the World Government's recruitment, she feels that the World Government is really going to take action this time.
Once Boa Hancock is deprived of her status as a Shichibukai, they will be attacked by the Marines and there will be no peace.
"Hmph~, even if I cause the country to perish, I will be forgiven by everyone, because I am beautiful!"
Hancock ignored Gloriosa's warning and threw her head back as she said proudly.
"Also, if nothing happens, don't disturb me, I'm going to take a bath!"
Hancock glanced at the old woman with an unhappy look on her face and prepared to take a bath and change clothes.
"There is big news, in addition to Naval Headquarters' upcoming public execution of Fire Fist Ace, and the upcoming battle with the Whitebeard Pirates."
"A big fight also broke out in Sabaody Archipelago. Three Celestial Dragons were kidnapped, three Supernovas were subdued by Daddy Basire, two Marine Admirals appeared, and even Garp the Fist and Dark King Rayleigh appeared!"
"Now the Whitebeard Pirates have even released news that they will pay 5 billion beris to buy the Celestial Dragons from that unknown person!"
Gloriosa handed the newspaper and some information to Hancock. Because their island is located in the Calm Belt, information is hard to come by and it is easy to lose contact with the outside world.
Therefore, they cherish every newspaper and information and are always concerned about changes in the world situation.
"What? Celestial Dragons were beaten and kidnapped?"
Hancock's eyes widened and her hands were shaking. She didn't expect that someone would dare to attack these Celestial Dragons who claimed to be gods.
This made her heart beat rapidly. Did someone finally dare to take action against the Celestial Dragons without fear?
She doesn't know what kind of person can have such unparalleled courage.
He must be a hero, right?
