Xi Yan's... Fiancée?
"What a pleasant shopping trip!"
Galette, holding a few bubbles in her hand, had a big smile on her face.
She had wanted to come here last year, but because of her Big Mom, she hadn't had the time.
I finally had a great time today.
"As long as you're happy," Katakuri said.
As long as my sister is happy, then this trip wasn't in vain.
Even if they don't find any trace of the Straw Hat Pirates, they won't lose out.
"I wonder if they've found any trace of the Straw Hat Pirates," Galette said.
Several hours have passed, and there's still no news... Have they not yet arrived on the island?
Or perhaps something unexpected happened to them on their way to Sabaody Archipelago?
Thinking of this, a look of worry appeared on Galette's face.
"Alright, don't overthink it," Katakuri said. "Let's get back to the ship first."
He didn't know if the Straw Hat Pirates had encountered any mishaps, but... if they couldn't even make it to the Sabaody Archipelago, they wouldn't be qualified to marry into the Charlotte Family.
"All right..."
Galette sighed, turned around, and left with Katakuri.
However, just as they left the Commercial District, they saw their subordinates running towards them at an extremely fast speed.
Upon seeing this, Galette's face lit up with surprise, and she exclaimed, "Could it be that he found someone?"
Katakuri remained silent, watching until the other party reached him, at which point he finally spoke, "Yes, found it."
The next moment, the man, who was panting heavily, said, "My lords, we've found the Straw Hat Pirates."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Katakuri in surprise. How did the other man know what he was going to say?
Neither Galette nor Katakuri intended to explain, as there was no need to reveal too much information about such a lowly subordinate who had only recently joined the pirate crew.
"Where?" Galette asked. "Who did you see?"
"Ah, a green-haired, Three Sword Style swordsman," the man said. "He should be the Straw Hat Pirates ' Pirate Hunter."
"Should?"
man:...
Cold sweat broke out on his brow. The man swallowed hard and said, "It must be him. I can't be wrong."
Currently, he is the only well-known Three Sword Style swordsman on the high seas.
"Remember to be more accurate next time," Galette said.
After saying that, she glanced at Katakuri and said, "Katakuri-gege, let's go."
"Um."
Katakuri nodded, then silently followed Galette beside the man as they walked into the distance.
As Katakuri drew closer, the others fearfully stepped aside, making way for him.
Even if they didn't know who this person was, they could tell that he was not someone to be trifled with.
After all... this is a giant man over five meters tall!
After the group left, the others cautiously asked, "Who... who was that person?"
"I don't know, but they seem like someone you shouldn't mess with."
"I know, this person comes from one of the Four Emperors Crew in the New World, the Big Mom Pirates." A bounty hunter swallowed hard and said, "A terrifying existence with a bounty of... 1,057 million Beli."
Upon hearing his words, everyone else showed expressions of horror.
"10...1 billion 57 million Beli?"
Why would such a terrifyingly important person be here?
At this moment, everyone showed expressions of terror. If such a terrifying being were to lose its temper, everyone present would likely die.
Luckily I gave way to the other person just now...
"How about... we go for it?!"
A bounty hunter, a greedy look on his face, glanced at his companion and said, "That's a billion!"
"Go ahead and die if you want. I don't want to mess with the Four Emperors Crew."
"And do you think it's so easy to get these ten billion?"
With such a high bounty, their strength must be absolutely terrifying.
To take advantage of the other party?
That's pure suicide!
His words brought the man back to his senses, and he said with a grim expression, "That's true..."
"Let's go, we'll go capture the others. Aren't there quite a few Supernovas on the island?"
"That's true, let's go."
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Honestly, why are you walking so slowly, you slave?" Charlos Saint looked at the slave at his feet with displeasure, and angrily kicked him a few times.
The kicked slave fell to the ground, his face bleeding from the stone, but Charles Saint showed no pity; instead, he became even angrier.
"You actually dare to lie down?!"
As his slave, how dare you kneel down?
How much do they look down on him?
Thinking of this, Charlos Saint angrily drew his weapon, intending to execute the damned slave at his feet.
"He's finished..."
"Idiot, don't open your mouth, do you want to die?" his companion growled.
Upon hearing this, the man swallowed hard and obediently shut his mouth, refusing to say another word.
Just as the other party said, if the Celestial Dragons discovered that he was talking at this moment, he would be executed.
He didn't want to die.
"I hate slaves like you the most." Charles Saint, who had jumped to the ground, pointed his pistol at the slave and said, "Get out of here..."
However, before he could finish speaking, he saw several medical staff running over from a distance, carrying a stretcher.
This immediately stopped him in his tracks. He looked at the other person in disbelief and said, "How dare a lowly person run in front of me?"
All the other lower-class people were kneeling obediently on the ground, so why did these few dare to stand?
Don't they know that you can't stand in front of the Celestial Dragons?
Thinking of this, Charles Saint immediately stepped forward and stopped the group.
"Stop right there!"
Enraged, Charles Saint kicked over the stretcher in the other man's hands, sending the patient sprawling to the ground.
"Please stop, Celestial Dragons! This man is about to die!"
"Sir, we need to take him for treatment, or he'll die!"
Charles Saint glanced at the several medical staff lying on the ground and said coldly, "So what?"
"Ed, tell them, which is more important, my manners or the lives of the lowly?"
"Of course, it's out of courtesy to you."
The guard named Ed said calmly, "The Celestial Dragons are supreme."
Hearing Ed's words, Charles Saint sneered and said, "Did you hear that? You lowly bunch!"
"How dare you..."
"Um?"
Just then, Charles Saint noticed that the young nurse sitting on the ground was very beautiful, which immediately made him excited.
"Haha, I see a beautiful woman!"
"Ed, I want her," Charles Saint said. "I'll make her my wife."
"Yes, I understand," Ed said. "I will immediately process the formalities for Madam's stay at the Holy Land."
"Huh?!"
The woman was dumbfounded and said, "How could this be?"
How can the other party be so unreasonable, so insisting that she become their wife?
"Please wait a moment!" A man ran over, excitedly saying, "She's my fiancée, please..."
"Bump!"
The bullet pierced his body, and the man staggered and fell to the ground.
"Who gave you permission to stand before me?!" Charlos Saint Wrath roared, "You lowly wretch!"
"Please..."
The man tried to say something, but ultimately his eyes rolled back, and he lay on the ground unconscious.
"Snort."
Charles Saint snorted, sheathed his weapon, and looked at the nurse again, saying, "Alright, enough talk, come with me."
"How could this happen..." the nurse cried, "Please, someone please save him!"
Unfortunately, no one dared to move, not even to look up.
Are you unhappy with what I did?
Hearing Charles Saint's cold tone, the nurse immediately covered her mouth, trembling and sobbing.
"They really do whatever they want..." Apoo said, "Is this what the Celestial Dragons are like?"
After actually meeting the other person, Apoo discovered that they were far worse than he had imagined.
Is this what they World Noble?
It's disgusting.
"Celestial Dragons..."
Standing in the alley, Galette frowned as she looked at the Celestial Dragons and said, "So this is what they call Celestial Dragons?"
To be honest, this was the first time she had ever seen a living Celestial Dragons in her life. This was just too awful.
Calling others inferior, not allowing ordinary people to stand, arbitrarily slaughtering ordinary people... and most importantly, this is all protected by law!
"That's why we rarely come here," Katakuri said calmly. "If we encounter them, a conflict will break out, and that will attract the Marine Admiral."
As members of Four Emperors Crew, it's impossible for them to kneel before Celestial Dragons; such a meeting would inevitably lead to conflict.
Therefore, to avoid such incidents, the Four Emperors Crew ' crews rarely come here; this is an Unspoken rule between them and the World Government.
Just then, Katakuri paused, looking in surprise at the end of the street.
"Um?"
"This is not..."
Looking at the iconic three swords, Galette said, "He's that Pirate Hunter, isn't he?"
They originally planned to cross the street to find the Celestial Dragons after he left, but... this person walked right up to them?
This was while the Celestial Dragons were still present...
Why is someone standing in front of me again?!
Seeing Zoro standing before him, Charlos Saint's face contorted with rage. What was wrong with him today?
"Ah?"
"What's wrong?"
Zoro looked at Charlos Saint with curiosity and said, "Are you asking for directions?"
Galette:...
Galette stared at Zoro in shock. Didn't he recognize Celestial Dragons?!
Just then, Katakuri chuckled, as if he had seen something amusing.
"What's wrong, Katakuri-gege?"
Katakuri didn't answer, he just pointed ahead.
Although Galette was somewhat puzzled, she still followed the other person's hand and looked over.
The next moment, Charlos Saint raised his weapon, pointed it at Zoro, and said, "Die, you lowlife!"
"Bump!"
In that instant, Zoro charged forward like a beast, drawing his weapon to kill Charlos Saint.
"That bastard!"
Bony rushed over at lightning speed, tackled Zoro to the side, and splattered him with ketchup, creating the illusion that he had killed Zoro.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Idiot, don't move!" Bony said.
"Ah?"
"Ah!"
"Onii-chan, how did you die?!" the shrunken Bony cried out, "Did you offend the Celestial Dragons?"
"In that case, there's nothing you can do even if you die."
"Um?"
"Did I hit it?" Charles Saint looked at the gun in his hand in confusion. He felt like he had missed.
"Forget it, it's better if he's dead."
After shaking his head, Charles Saint led his men away.
Galette witnessed the entire scene, said, "Was this guy really planning to kill Celestial Dragons just now?"
"Judging from his murderous aura, yes."
Katakuri, who was using Observation Haki throughout, keenly sensed Zoro's killing intent; Zoro was clearly targeting the Celestial Dragons.
If that woman who can shrink hadn't intervened, the Celestial Dragons would have been killed already.
As expected of a pirate crew that dared to challenge Judicial Island, they have no cowards.
"Let's go, the Celestial Dragons are gone, let's go find that guy," Katakuri said.
"Good."
The moment the group stepped out of the alley, they immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Hey... who is that guy...?"
"Ah, those guys from the Four Emperors Crew..."
Why would someone like that be here?
Several Supernovas looked at Katakuri, wondering why he was there.
However, they had no intention of getting into a conflict with the other party, and after finishing their conversation, they decisively left.
"Hey, what are you thinking, you idiot?!" Bony glared at Zoro and snapped, "Are you trying to provoke Marine Admiral?"
Bony was furious! If this guy had just killed Celestial Dragons, Marine Admiral would have appeared here!
She definitely doesn't want to run into someone like that right now.
"Admiral..."
Zoro frowned and sat down on the ground, saying, "Was that World Noble just now?"
Before setting off, Hatchan did specifically emphasize that they must not attack the World Noble.
But how could he know that the idiot with the bubble-like hair was Celestial Dragons?
"Seriously, are you Straw Hat Pirates all lunatics?!" Bony cursed, "You even want to cut down Celestial Dragons..."
"Be more careful next time. If you're going to go crazy, wait until after we've left!"
After finishing his tirade, Bony decisively led his men away.
Clearly, she didn't want to get involved with such a madman.
Watching the other person's departing figure, Zoro frowned, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he got up, walked over to the injured man, and casually hoisted him onto his shoulder.
"Are you planning to save someone?"
"Ah," Zoro said, "If we ignore him, he'll bleed to death."
After Zoro finished speaking, he glanced behind him and immediately spotted the tall figure.
"Um?"
Who are you?
Katakuri didn't answer, but glanced at his subordinates and said, "Take this guy to the hospital."
Zoro frowned as he looked at Katakuri. Who was this guy?
"You're the Pirate Hunter Roronoa Zoro, right?" Galette said. "Can you take me to Xi Yan?"
Upon hearing this, Zoro's eyes immediately sharpened. He carefully placed the man on the ground, then placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and asked, "Who are you?"
To be able to accurately call out his and Xi Yan's names... is he a bounty hunter?
Or is it an enemy?
"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm," Galette said to Zoro. "I'm Xi Yan's fiancée, and I came here specifically to find him."
"Huh?"
"Eh!!!"
Zoro stared at Galette in shock, his jaw practically dropping to the floor.
"Xi Yan's... fiancée?"
Does Xi Yan actually have a fiancée?
Why has that guy never mentioned it?
Could it be... that guy is actually a nobleman from some kingdom?
Because I haven't been home for so long... my fiancée came knocking on my door?
Thinking about this, Zoro fell into deep thought.
After a moment, Zoro said, "You... are you really his fiancée?"
"He's Ninja, right?" Galette laughed. "Those eyes of his are a mark of his bloodline."
Zoro lowered his guard upon hearing this, because what the other person said was indeed true; Xi Yan's eyes were indeed a sign of his bloodline.
This is something Xi Yan himself said back then.
Seeing this, Galette secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that her initial guess was correct; those eyes... were indeed proof of a special bloodline!
"I don't know where he is either," Zoro said. "How about you..."
Before Zoro could finish speaking, an explosion was heard from the distant street.
"Boom!!"
The next moment, several figures ran out of the alley, their faces filled with terror, and said, "The Blood-Eyed Ninja, Xi Yan, is enraged! Run!!"
Zoro:...
This... is quite a coincidence.
