Celestial Dragons
"Wano Country?" Roy looked at the mummy wrapped in bandages in front of him with some surprise.
"Yes, please grant my request, Captain." The mummy immediately performed a deep bow, the floorboards creaking so loudly it made one's teeth ache.
"Don't worry, Wano Country was already part of my plan." Roy agreed verbally, but in his heart he was thinking, "Wano Country has a long history of isolation and is extremely xenophobic. It has an instinctive resistance to the outside world and the sea. Even Kaido needs the Wano Country General as a collaborator to get involved. In that case, I can use Harvey's identity to enter Wano Country and stir up trouble."
"Wano Country is known as the country of Master Swordsman. If you want to climb to the pinnacle of swordsmanship, Wano Country is definitely not to be missed. However, it is too early to think about this now."
"Hmm? Inviting me to attend the auction on Island Number One?" Roy looked with interest at the Big Beard slave owner in front of him, who was sweating profusely, lying on the ground, and not daring to lift his head.
"Yes... yes, we would be honored if Lord Roy would grace us with his presence. We would be extremely grateful."
"Oh? Who's standing behind you? Judging from your appearance, you don't seem like the kind of person who would have the courage to come looking for someone."
"I... I don't know either."
"Hmm? Are you trying to test my patience with your own life?"
"Lord Roy, spare me! I really didn't know!" The Big Beard cried out in an extremely shrill voice, so heart-wrenching that it brought tears to the eyes of all who heard it, and even his voice was trembling.
The Big Beard felt extremely wronged. If he hadn't been unable to refuse, who would have wanted to come to this den of demons? It was rumored on the high seas that Nightmare Roy was a ruthless killer who required the blood of virgins and the hearts of children for every meal.
He was, after all, a slave owner with hundreds of subordinates, but in front of a true big shot, he didn't even have the right to refuse.
"By the way, the master's code name in the Underworld is 'boss.' He usually uses this identity to contact us, and this order was also issued using this identity." The Big Beard seemed to have grasped at a straw and betrayed his boss without the slightest hesitation.
"Boss? I thought it would be the Joker, but that makes sense. There are plenty of strong people in the Underworld. Maybe we can take this opportunity to get to know them." Roy wasn't worried about any tricks or schemes the other party might have. At his level, even if he couldn't beat them, he could run away. Unless Three Admirals of the Navy were to come at once, he wouldn't be in any danger.
Strolling down the street, the covetous glances that had previously appeared because of the Giants' presence had long since vanished without a trace.
In just two days, nearly a third of the slave traders on Sabaody Archipelago disappeared, letting the dark forces on Sabaody Archipelago know what the consequences would be for offending the Shichibukai.
Roy and his crew didn't care about those people at all, nor did they lay a hand on them. They just relentlessly killed these scumbags until they were terrified, causing panic among the underground forces of the Sabaody Archipelago. Anyone who even slightly coveted the Phantom Sword Pirates was often killed by their own kind before they could even make a move, for fear of incurring Roy's wrath.
Such a commotion on the Sabaody Archipelago could not be kept secret from the Marine Headquarters. However, due to Roy's sensitive status Shichibukai and the fact that those who were wiped out were all scum, the Navy was too busy celebrating to interfere in the matter.
Of course, the navy quietly strengthened its troop deployment in the Sabaody Archipelago and secretly recalled Marine Admiral were operating abroad.
After all, even the Marines High-Level knows how detestable those Celestial Dragons who treat the Sabaody Archipelago as their backyard are. There are quite a few soldiers in the Navy who would do anything to kill those scumbags.
Nightmare Roy is no pushover either. Just look at the fate of those dark forces on the Sabaody Archipelago; he's definitely not the kind of person who would swallow his pride.
If a conflict were to break out between the two sides, the consequences would be absolutely unimaginable.
Of course, according to Murphy's Law, if you worry about something happening, it is more likely to happen.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the secretly monitoring Marines, three arrogant Celestial Dragons wearing bubble hoods rounded the bend and stood on the same street as Roy and his group, walking towards each other.
In just half a minute, the two sides will inevitably meet.
"What a joke! Are those guys who guided the Celestial Dragons all useless? They actually managed to bring two troublesome groups together." The naval Lieutenant Commander, who was secretly observing, couldn't help but curse inwardly. Cold sweat beaded on his forehead, but at the same time, he felt a strange excitement, and his face was flushed.
"If, if these disgusting scumbags were punched away by Shichibukai, perhaps... it wouldn't be such a bad thing." He didn't dare to think about a worse scenario. After all, punching Celestial Dragons and killing Celestial Dragons are completely different things. Even the most audacious person wouldn't dare to cross that line.
The surrounding crowd quickly retreated to both sides of the street, prostrating themselves on their knees with practiced ease, as if it were an instinct ingrained in their very being.
"Dad, aren't we going to the amusement park today? I didn't get enough fun yesterday!" Charloss asked, picking his nose, looking like he had a mental disability.
"Charloss, you're really boring. Those amusement parks never have anything new to offer, I'm already tired of them. Let's go to the auction and buy a few slaves instead. The slaves we bought before were too unplayable, they all died within a few days," Sharliya said.
"I heard there will be a large auction on Island Number One. Besides the usual slaves, there will be many novel items. We might as well go and take a look," said Rosward, who was wearing sunglasses and leaning on a cane.
"Celestial Dragons?" Looking at the crowd kneeling all the way, Roy naturally knew what kind of people were ahead of him, but he didn't stop at all and calmly walked forward.
Roy's action was undoubtedly a signal, nearly causing the hidden Marines to faint from fright, while those who were ready to watch the show watched the scene intently. A conflict between the Celestial Dragons and the Shichibukai was a rare sight indeed.
Amidst the terrified gazes of the navy and the eager eyes of the underground forces, the two sides finally came together.
However, the expected conflict did not occur. The arrogant Celestial Dragons quietly walked to the side of the road to make way for Roy and his group. Only after Roy and his group had all passed did they calmly return to the center of the road, as if nothing had happened.
Both the navy and the pirates were petrified and completely bewildered. What happened to the fierce conflict? How did it turn into a friendly pacing? When did the Celestial Dragons become so easy to talk to?
