You're Too Weak

I originally thought that two Shichibukai were defeated by Straw Hat Luffy, who is also Supernovas.

Therefore, the Shichibukai are nothing special and not scary at all.

But now it seems that even among the Shichibukai, each member's strength is different.

"Just how strong is this guy?"

The group looked at Ye Liangnai, their thoughts heavy.

"Killer!"

Kidd, who was engaged in a fierce Taijutsu with Jesus Burgess, Kid shocked by what he saw.

"You dare to get distracted while fighting me so fiercely!"

"Eustras Kid, you're really underestimating me!"

Jesus Burgess' fist was enveloped in an unprecedentedly fierce and domineering Haki, and the trembling force from his arm shook the surrounding air, slamming into Kid's fist like a heavy hammer.

"Snap!"

"Waaah!"

The moment they collided, Kid's expression changed, and his arm bones cracked instantly.

He was no match for that force, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he was instantly blasted away.

"Haha, take this!"

Jesus Burgess took another heavy step, closing in, and his jet-black fist, shrouded in Armament Haki, landed heavily on Kid's chest without any resistance.

"Bang!"

Kid's eyes bulged out of their sockets in pain.

He coughed up another mouthful of blood, smashing open a deep pit more than ten meters deep, sinking into it and losing nearly half of his fighting ability.

"Hahaha~"

"Even I can't beat you, and you want to challenge our captain?"

"You, the leader of the Supernovas, are rather ungrateful. I am the weakest in our pirate crew!"

Upon hearing Jesus Burgess's words, Hawkins and the others couldn't help but shrink their pupils.

Jesus Burgess even defeated Kid, so how come he's the weakest?

How strong Ye Liangnai?

"You expect them to be as strong as us?"

"To put it bluntly, they're just a bunch of kids who've just stepped onto the sea. They don't know what the real One Piece World is like, or what true strength is. They still have so much to learn!"

Upon hearing this, Nous glanced at the Kid Pirates, whose faces were full of fear but who dared not make any rash moves, and said contemptuously.

He glanced at Jesus Burgess again and said, "Let's go back. We've only just started eating a few bites of delicious food and we've been interrupted. I'm starving now!"

"Haha, you're right!"

Jesus Burgess burst into laughter and returned to the restaurant, leaving the Kid Pirates to leave dejectedly.

"One day, I will show you my true strength. Next time, I will not lose to your subordinate again. Ye Liangnai, you'll remember this!"

But after all, he's Kid. If he loses face and doesn't say anything, it would be too beneath him.

"Then I'll wait!"

Ye Liangnai grinned upon hearing this, not taking it to heart.

After having a hearty meal, Ye Liangnai and her two companions continued to stroll around.

"Well, you two probably both have something you want to buy, right? Go ahead and browse around on your own, you don't need to keep following me!"

A qualified captain naturally needs to understand the thoughts of his subordinates.

"Understood, Captain!"

Upon hearing this, the two showed delight and were about to leave when Ye Liangnai added, "Oh, by the way, there are Celestial Dragons on this island. If it's not necessary, don't provoke them. Just avoid them if you see them!"

"Offending them will cause some trouble, and I won't know how to explain it to Sengoku Zhan Guo!"

Upon hearing this, the two nodded, indicating that they understood.

Go!

Ye Liangnai separated from Nous and Jesus Burgess.

"Have you heard? Mermaids, such rare items, have appeared at the auction!"

"What? There are mermaids? Let's go check it out!"

"But speaking of which, did you know that the Celestial Dragons has reportedly appeared on this island as well!"

"I know, I just saw it with my own eyes. They really are Celestial Dragons. They're so arrogant and domineering. They can abduct women in the street, kill and commit arson, and no one dares to say anything. They have to watch them leave respectfully!"

"The Celestial Dragons, huh? Recruiting these guys means you can get anything you want!"

Walking through the commercial district of the Sabaody Archipelago, Ye Liangnai suddenly heard this kind of discussion around her.

"Mermaids? From Fish-Man Island?"

Ye Liangnai's lips curled into a smile. "Looks like we're about to see a good show!"

Sabaody Archipelago, Celestial Dragons, Mermaids...

When these keywords were put together, a picture immediately appeared in Ye Liangnai's mind—Monkey D. Luffy beating up the Celestial Dragons Saint Charlos!

"This seems to be a very interesting scene!"

With that thought in mind, Ye Liangnai turned around and headed towards the auction.

If Rayleigh doesn't show up in the end, then he'll have no choice but to step in and save the mermaid.

To be fair, King Neptune of Fish-Man Island had some connection with him.

Having drunk so much of their wine, I should at least repay the favor.

"Look, that guy isn't Shichibukai..." Someone spotted Ye Liangnai and was about to speak when he was stopped by the person next to him.

"Shh, are you out of your mind? What if he finds out? That guy started out by slaughtering pirates. If he finds out, we're finished!" The person who tried to stop him was terrified.

"Huh, so even the Ye Liangnai family is interested in mermaids? That's interesting!"

Not far behind Ye Liangnai, Trafalgar Law also spotted him.

So he followed them inside.

As soon as Ye Liangnai entered, many people in the room turned their attention to him.

"That guy, isn't he Shichibukai? Why is he here? What's going on? Does he also have his eye on something at the auction?"

Those who can enter the auction house are all extraordinary, and naturally they all know Ye Liangnai.

"Celestial Dragons, huh, interesting!"

Ye Liangnai glanced at the three Celestial Dragons at the front of the auction house, then casually found a seat and sat down.

Shortly after he entered, Trafalgar Law, Eustass Kid, and Nami of the Straw Hat Pirates also entered one after another.

"Hey, it's Eustace again!"

Ye Liangnai greeted Kid with a smile, which immediately darkened Kid's expression.

I'll make you pay sooner or later!

After leaving behind only this sentence with a gloomy expression, Kid closed his eyes.

Ye Liangnai leaned back in her chair, quietly waiting for the auction to begin and for the mermaid to make her appearance.

If the Straw Hat Luffy fails to follow the original plot, storming the auction, beating up the Celestial Dragons, and stealing the mermaid, then he'll have to take matters into his own hands.

The auction began soon!

The dark side of this world is slowly being revealed.

People of all races, or pirates who once roamed the high seas, were now displayed like commodities on a stage, subject to bidding, with no dignity whatsoever.
