Boom!

A deafening roar exploded, the ground trembled violently, dust splattered off the surrounding walls, and the lights in the corridor flickered on and off.

If you stop and listen, it seems that a lot of panicked voices are coming from the venue.

"A riot broke out?" Roy activated his Observation Haki, a strange smile playing on his lips. "Looks like I missed a good show!"

When Roy returned to the venue, the auction was already in complete chaos, with various anxieties, confusion, and anger intertwined.

Regardless of their previous identities—pirates, marines, bounty hunters, or slave traders—they all fled in a frantic, desperate scramble, with many falling to the ground and dying in the frenzied trampling, turning this ugly den of iniquity into a terrifying inferno.

"We can't stay on this island anymore, we need to get out to sea right now!"

"The Admiral... the Admiral is on his way. If we stay on the island any longer, none of us will be able to leave alive!"

"These damn Supernovas, do they not consider the consequences of their actions at all?"

The origin of the "riot" is not hard to find: a huge hole on the stage, two tragic Celestial Dragons crashing into the hole with their faces unrecognizable, and a broken hole in the ceiling, from which the disabled child Charloss was probably sent flying backward.

His crew, on the other hand, sat calmly in the front row, watching the spectacle with an air of detachment, a stark contrast to the chaos around them.

Seeing Roy approach, Robin reported succinctly, "Captain, the Celestial Dragons was knocked away by Fire Fist Ace."

Roy could guess this without explanation. The lingering flames in the arena hadn't dissipated yet, so no one else could be considered but Fire Fist. Besides, most people wouldn't have the guts to attack Celestial Dragons.

Just like the Supernovas known as the Worst Generation three years later, each of them possessed extraordinary spirit and challenged the Four Emperors as soon as they entered the New World. Even so, when facing the Celestial Dragons, they all chose to give way.

However, what puzzled Roy was that, in his memory, Ace was much more composed than Luffy. Moreover, his crew had neither beautiful women nor rare breeds, so there was no reason for them to clash with the Celestial Dragons.

Seemingly noticing Roy's confusion, Reiju said from the side, "The cause of their conflict seems to stem from something that idiot Celestial Dragons."

"Just now, a slave from the East Blue, I think, came from a kingdom called Goa, which stirred up some memories for that Celestial Dragons. He mentioned things like 'fishing boats' and 'hunting.' Before he could finish speaking, he was punched away by Fire Fist Ace in a fit of anger. I remember that Fire Fist Ace was shouting something like 'Idiot Po' at the time."

"It's Sabo, right!"

"Yes, yes, that's what it's called, but how did you know that, Captain?" Although she already knew about Roy's amazing abilities, Reiju still couldn't help but ask.

Roy shook his head, his expression strangely unreadable. "This guy named Charloss is really tragic. He's taken the blame for someone else's mistake. I remember that guy's name was Chalmak?"

"However, the Celestial Dragons' vitality is just too tenacious." Roy could sense that the two Celestial Dragons lying on the ground like dead dogs, although they looked extremely miserable, were actually still a long way from being on the verge of death.

Even though Charloss was blasted away head-on, Roy could still sense his life force, which, though weak, was gradually stabilizing.

Keep in mind that Ace attacked in a fit of rage after hearing about Sabo, and he was definitely using 120% of his power. Not to mention the Celestial Dragons, who are weaklings, even the other Supernovas would probably not be able to withstand such a punch.

Even though the Celestial Dragons have protective suits and similar equipment, their physical abilities are such that even a shockwave of force should be enough to completely shatter their internal organs.

Just like three years later when they were beaten up by Luffy again, they were back to their old selves after a while. Considering Donquixote Mjosgard, who was stranded on Fish-Man Island, his ship was attacked by Sea Kings, all his powerful protectors died, and yet he, a seemingly weakling, miraculously survived. The reasons behind this are thought-provoking.

"It seems that the Celestial Dragons' rise to the status of Celestial Dragons is not as simple as it appears at present." Roy took a deep breath and pondered, "Their tenacious vitality, their idiotic personalities, and their pathetic fighting strength—if these factors are combined, perhaps the Celestial Dragons' true nature is that of helpless pigs to be slaughtered!"

"Judge, draw a vial of blood from both of them." After a moment's thought, Roy looked at Judge and gave the order.

"Huh? Who?" Judge looked around in confusion, and seeing that there was no one else in the room besides them, he widened his eyes and pointed at the two Celestial Dragons in the cave, stammering, "You... you mean the Celestial... Celestial Dragons?"

No wonder he acted this way; the Celestial Dragons have long held sway over Celestial Dragons has become an instinct.

"Don't worry, no one but us will know that you attacked Celestial Dragons," Roy reassured him with a smile.

"Exactly, drawing blood from Celestial Dragons is something many people wouldn't even dare to dream of," Jin joked from the side.

Judge's lips twitched, and with a mournful face, he 'pulled' a giant 50-centimeter-long syringe from his person. "This is the syringe I used to draw blood from those giant creatures when I was conducting research on biological gigantification. Look..."

Everyone stared speechlessly at the scene. Where did you hide such a large syringe? And with Celestial Dragons's small frame, surely you wouldn't be able to fill a whole syringe even if all the blood was drained?

"Alright, this is it. Be careful not to kill these two guys."

After receiving Roy's confirmation, Judge shakily plunged the giant needle into Rosward's buttocks.

Everyone who witnessed this scene felt a chill run down their spines. It was utterly brutal. They silently mourned for these Celestial Dragons. They had absolutely the worst luck they had ever had today. First, they were ambushed by Roy, then Ace punched them in a fit of rage, and now even their Flower Capital in danger.

After Judge finished collecting the blood, the Celestial Dragons had all lost a significant amount of weight. In particular Sharliya's once plump and rounded buttocks had become withered and shriveled, which was a cruel disfigurement for a woman.

Of course, everyone was delighted with this. Not to mention that they were all ruthless pirates, even ordinary people would applaud and be happy to see the Celestial Dragons suffer.
