The Celestial Dragon's Atrocities!

Sabaody Archipelago - Restaurants

The restaurant was filled with delicious aromas, and the tables were piled high with food.

Luffy was engrossed in eating, stuffing chunks of meat into his mouth one after another, his cheeks puffed out like a hamster's, while mumbling incoherently:

"So delicious!"

Nami looked at him helplessly, resting her chin on her hand, but her eyes couldn't help but reveal a hint of doting affection.

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you~"

"Glug--!" Luffy swallowed a large piece of Barbecue, grinned, reached out and grabbed another piece, and held it directly to Nami's mouth.

"Nami! This is super delicious! You have to try it!"

Nami paused slightly, took the spoon, and gently bit into it. Her eyes narrowed, and a smile appeared on her lips, "Hmm~ It's really good."

The atmosphere was relaxed and warm.

Outside on the street, a sudden scream and frantic footsteps shattered the tranquility!

Nami and Luffy simultaneously turned to look out the window, their pupils suddenly contracting.

On the street, the crowds knelt down as if the tide were receding, not daring to raise their heads, their bodies trembling.

And in the center of the crowd—

A fat, ugly figure rode slowly forward on the back of a dying slave.

The slave was covered in blood and barely breathing, as if he would die at any moment.

The newcomer wore an extravagant bubble helmet, his curly black hair plastered to his oily face, and a snotty nose hanging from his thick lips.

A sickly smile played on his lips—that was precisely it.

Celestial Dragons Saint Charlos!

Behind him, several World Government guards in white uniforms followed closely, holding guns and scanning their surroundings with icy eyes, as if they were about to open fire at any moment.

As he passed by, the air became so oppressive that it felt suffocating; the kneeling civilians and travelers even held their breath very softly.

Just as Saint Charlos rode into the middle of the street, a doctor frantically blocked the road.

He was holding a seriously injured child in his arms, urgently bandaging him, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

When he turned around and saw the bubble helmet behind him, he froze instantly!

"I'm so sorry... Celestial Dragons Lord!!"

His face was deathly pale, his body trembled violently, and his voice was hoarse, "I was treating a patient... I didn't notice you..."

Saint Charlos pulled the slave to a stop, his cold gaze fixed on the doctor.

A morbid excitement flashed in his eyes as he slowly drew a gold-inlaid pistol from his waist, the cold muzzle pointing directly at the doctor's forehead.

"You lowly commoner... dare to block my way?"

"Bang!!"

Gunshots rang out!

Blood splattered on the pale face of the child in his arms. The doctor's pupils contracted sharply, and he collapsed weakly, clutching the child tightly until his last breath.

The child stared blankly at the scene, tears welling in his eyes, but he forgot even to cry out.

The lively atmosphere inside the restaurant instantly froze.

Thump!

Luffy slammed his fist into the dining table, shattering it instantly and scattering plates and bowls everywhere.

His eyes burned with a raging fury, making him look like a ferocious Beast.

The Conqueror's Haki surged out uncontrollably, and the surrounding glasses shattered simultaneously with a "crack"!

"That bastard...!!" He suddenly stood up and was about to rush out, but was held back tightly by a hand!

"Luffy!! No!!"

Nami's voice was sterner than ever before, her fingers gripping his wrist so tightly that her nails almost dug into his flesh.

"That's Celestial Dragons!!"

Luffy gritted his teeth, trembling all over, and hissed in a low voice as if roaring, "So what?!"

"How dare that kind of scum live in this world?!"

Nami's forehead was beaded with cold sweat, her voice low but unwavering. "Calm down! Luffy!!"

"We can't cause trouble for Roy and everyone else!!"

Saint Charlos blew on the muzzle of the golden pistol, his thick lips parted in a ferocious grin, as if the shot he had just fired was some kind of boastful feat.

"Hmph~ A lowly person is a lowly person..."

His gaze swept across the crowd, finally settling on a young nurse.

The nurse held the child, who couldn't cry out, tightly in her arms, her vision blurred by tears.

Saint Charlos's eyes lit up, and a sickly excitement surfaced on his oily face. "Hey~ you're pretty... come be my thirteenth wife!"

The nurse trembled, instinctively pulling the child into her arms, staggering backward, large tears streaming down her face.

In the crowd, a young man could no longer hold back and suddenly rushed out, blocking her path.

His body was trembling, but his voice was unusually firm. "Celestial Dragons! She is my fiancée! Please... spare her!!"

This scene caused the kneeling crowd around them to gasp in shock.

This is suicide.

Saint Charlos's expression immediately darkened, and he clicked his tongue impatiently. "Tsk... You lowly commoner, you dare to ask me for things?"

Without hesitation, he raised the golden pistol again, the cold muzzle pointed at the man's forehead—

"Bang!"

The bullet pierced the air!

However, at this critical moment—

"Whoosh!"

A crimson afterimage flashed by like Inazuma, and a hand covered in pink dragon scales suddenly reached out and precisely crushed the bullet!

"Crack!" Sparks and debris scattered in the air.

Immediately afterwards, thick clouds rose from the ground and instantly engulfed the entire street!

My vision was completely blurred.

"You bastard!!"

Saint Charlos's vision blurred; his obese body swayed on the slave's back as he screamed in panic, "Who is it?!"

"How dare you disturb my enjoyment! I'll kill you all!!"

His guards reacted immediately, forming a circle with their guns pointed at the fog-filled surroundings, their fingers gripping the triggers with cold sweat beading on their foreheads.

Nami's figure appeared like a ghost in the mist. She quickly came to Luffy's side, grabbed him tightly, and whispered, "Get them out of here before they can see us!"

Luffy's dragon scales were slightly reddish, and the anger in his eyes almost burned through the mist, but in the end he nodded heavily.

He moved with lightning speed, scooping up the nurse and child, and simultaneously lifting the young man up, disappearing into the mist.

In just a few breaths, all the civilians on both sides of the street seemed to be swallowed up by the fog and disappeared without a trace.

When the fog finally began to dissipate, only Saint Charlos and his guards remained on the street.

The surroundings were empty and silent.

Where are they?!

Saint Charlos's face flushed crimson as he roared and brandished his pistol, "Where are those lowly bastards?!"

The guards exchanged bewildered glances, their faces pale, cold sweat trickling down their necks.

"That fog just now... could it be from Logia Fruit user?!"

"But who dares to attack Celestial Dragons?!"

In a dark alley in the distance.

The nurse held the child tightly in her arms, finally unable to hold back her sobs, tears streaming down her face.

The child in her arms couldn't help but burst into tears, the cries echoing through the alley.

The man knelt on the ground, panting heavily, his eyes filled with lingering fear and shock, and asked in a trembling voice, "Who... who are you?"

In the dim light, the boy with dragon scales covering his body and a gently swaying tail turned his head, revealing a bright smile:

"Navy."

The orange-haired girl sighed, her eyes cold, and added, "But what happened just now... you'd better forget about it."

The man shuddered, then lowered his head forcefully, choking back tears, and said, "Thank you... thank you all!!"

Nami looked up at the street in the distance, her brow furrowed. "Luffy, we might be causing trouble for the Fleet Admiral. An attack on the Celestial Dragons will likely require the deployment of Admiral."

Luffy clenched his fist, his dragon eyes burning with rage. "Why does that scum have Admiral protecting him?!"

Nami sighed, a cold glint in her eyes. "These are the rules of the world... we can't change them for now."

"But--"

A cold smile played on her lips, "We can do much more in secret."

Luffy paused for a moment, then flashed a familiar smile and gave a thumbs up:

"Nami, you really are the smartest!"
