Kill

The God Slayer, it's him!

Why is he here?

Upon seeing Long's appearance, everyone present went blank for a moment, and some didn't even hear what he was saying.

Everyone was stunned, and then fear spread and overwhelmed them.

Especially... the Celestial Dragons!

For a long time, they had become incredibly accustomed to the rules of the Gran Tesoro. It was a demilitarized, peaceful zone where no force was allowed to interfere. Under these circumstances, they didn't need any bodyguards; Gild Tesoro would handle everything perfectly. At most, they would be provided with some of the city's hired fighters, who would act more as guides and attendants. Since the Gran Tesoro gained recognition and a certain degree of power from the World Government, visits by the Celestial Dragons had never encountered any 'problems,' and the Celestial Dragons were quite satisfied with the Gran Tesoro.

So over time, they all came to like... and chose to believe in Gild Tesoro.

But...

Now it seems like it's all over!

"Dear audience, the performance... is about to begin."

On the big screen, the God Slayer spoke softly.

"Quick, protect me! Protect me!"

"Damn it! Contact the World Government immediately and tell them to get their people on the ship!"

"Their people are parked near the giant ship, hurry up!!!"

In one corner of the stands, the best spot in terms of both view and location, a group of previously listless Celestial Dragons suddenly panicked, shouting and urging their servants on.

They're going to slip away.

We absolutely cannot die here!

Actually, after the Summit War ... especially after the Hell Pirates released photos of the execution of Celestial Dragons in the East Blue, the World Government had warned the Celestial Dragons to minimize their outings and ideally stay in Mary Geoise. But frankly, the World Government was nothing more than their lackeys; what master listens to a dog? Getting them to stop their entertainment was impossible... so no matter how much the World Government advised them, it was all ignored.

The Celestial Dragons used to fear nothing and considered themselves the masters of this world, but now... the only thing in the entire ocean that can frighten them is the God Slayer.

Because this guy... is really hunting them! "Damn it, what's he dawdling for!"

A Celestial Dragons cursed loudly and shot a servant who was making a Den Den Den Mushi), snatching the communication device away. His hands were trembling.

Boom! But, just as I picked up the Den Den Mushi...

What happened at the venue sent chills down the spines of the Celestial Dragons.

In one area of the stands, a dense crowd, like ants, was thrown up by a tremendous force, as if black seawater had been blasted apart... streaks of electricity spread out, and a burnt smell permeated the air.

Screams, shouts, cries... filled the air at that moment.

The Den Den Mushi type of electric scooter) has been connected, and someone on the other end is calling out and asking questions.

However... the Celestial Dragons holding the Den Den Mushi was staring blankly, completely bewildered.

Because a bolt of lightning instantly struck above their heads, revealing a figure that looked down at them with indifferent eyes.

Enel sat atop the Golden Staff, hovering in the air, one hand supporting his chin, tilting his head slightly as he looked down at a group of men and women with particularly distinctive clothing and appearance. "You trash... are you Celestial Dragons?" Enel frowned.

He possesses powerful Observation Haki, coupled with the speed of his Devil Fruit, allowing him to pinpoint the Celestial Dragons' location instantly.

What disgusted him was that the Celestial Dragons seemed to be the dominant race in this world, but when he saw them in person, he felt that these guys were weaker than ordinary people. In fact, the Celestial Dragons who looked at him were trembling and had wet their pants.

It emitted a foul odor.

It's disgusting.

"I..."

The Celestial Dragons inside the bubble hood seemed to be opening his mouth as if to say something.

But Enel had no intention of listening; communicating with these people was a waste of time.

He merely flicked his finger slightly.

In an instant, a vast network of interwoven electric nets swept past the seats where the Celestial Dragons were located.

When the current died down, everything in the room was charred.

Including the charred corpses of the Celestial Dragons.

Meanwhile, Shiryu entered a special VIP casino alone.

He walked slowly, and behind him lay corpses lying in pools of blood, their bodies dismembered.

Finally, he pushed open a tightly closed door adorned with gold.

Inside the opulent house, several guests were sitting on the floor, gambling while enjoying the ultimate service.

A beautiful woman, holding dice, kneels in the center of the group, acting as a tool.

Among the gamblers were One Piece and high-ranking government officials... but Shiryu's gaze was fixed on the two Celestial Dragons.

Both Celestial Dragons were surrounded by women... and even in the open space behind them, there were several iron cages, which held people from tribes or slaves not commonly seen at sea, clearly 'items' that had just been won.

The unique feature of the casinos in Gran Tesoro is that you can win not just money... but everything of value.

Shiryu's sudden arrival disrupted the atmosphere.

"Um?"

One of the Celestial Dragons, who was just getting into a good time, looked displeased. "What's going on? Isn't this a closed casino? No one has even left the table yet... how did someone break in?"

The casino staff were also stunned.

"I'm not a gambler..."

Shiryu gave a wicked smile.

The two Celestial Dragons seemed oblivious to the fact that the government official and the One Piece nearby had both turned deathly pale.

It was obvious that they recognized him.

"I'm here... to take your life."

As he finished speaking, a blood-red glint flashed through the hall as the scabbard opened and closed, accompanied by the sharp blade.

A few minutes later, Shiliu walked out of the casino carrying a bloody human head in his hand.

"Let's kill a few more..."

Shiryu glanced at the Celestial Dragons's head, which lay dead with its eyes wide open, in his hand, looked around the street, and said calmly.

Although the captain meant that killing one would pass the test, the captain seemed to dislike Celestial Dragons, so killing more wouldn't hurt. Besides, to be honest, killing Celestial Dragons was something Shiryu found quite interesting; it was a way to please himself that he had never considered before.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

At that moment, Shiryu heard a familiar laugh.

Ahead, the most luxurious hotel building in the Gran Tesoro was instantly crushed by a boulder thrown by someone, collapsing into ruins.

The boulder was originally only a few meters in size, but it grew at an astonishing speed as it flew, eventually becoming as large as a mountain when it crashed into the building.

The one who made the move was Waldo.

"Oh."

Shiryu smirked and walked away.

Although today is an important festival in the Gran Tesoro, not all Celestial Dragons are interested in going to the venue... However, the number of Celestial Dragons attracted this time is quite large.

No matter how they divide it... it should be enough for them to meet the targets set by the captain.

This test is not about how many Celestial Dragons they have killed... but whether they dare to make a move.

"They should be here by now..."

As a former member of the World Government system, Shiryu knew very well that even considering the special nature of the Gran Tesoro, the armed forces protecting the Celestial Dragons would not board the giant ship, but would definitely be nearby.

Rescue operations should have already begun.
