Those Who Dare Lay a Hand on My Companions-Even Celestial Dragons Must Die!

"Xi Yan, what do we do?" Nami asked Xi Yan anxiously, "The Celestial Dragons and all that..."

Although she had never seen what Celestial Dragons looked like, nor did she know what kind of person they were, she did know that provoking Celestial Dragons would attract the attention of Marine Admiral.

Upon hearing this, the others also looked at Xi Yan, as if Xi Yan were their pillar of support.

"If you don't want to clash with the Celestial Dragons, there's only one way," Lor suddenly said.

"What method?"

"Follow the auction rules, buy them with money. That way, we won't clash with the auction house and won't offend the Celestial Dragons." After saying that, Lorton paused for a moment, then hesitated and said, "However..."

"But what?"

"However, the Celestial Dragons might also be interested in those two ladies," Lor said. "And the Celestial Dragons ' Financial Strength ... is probably even more extravagant than we imagine."

As a member of the World Noble, the wealth they possess is terrifying. It's highly unlikely that one can out -Financial Strength someone like that.

Most importantly... bidding against them might anger the Celestial Dragons.

What awaits them then may be a brutal war.

"We have the money!" Nami said, "It's right here..."

Nami's expression froze before she could finish speaking.

She suddenly remembered that almost all of their money was with Merry, and now... the little one had been kidnapped. Where were they going to get money?

"What's wrong, Nami?!" Chopper said. "I remember we had a lot of money, didn't we?"

"They're all with Merry."

Chopper:...

Chopper froze, then burst into tears.

"It's over... Merry and Camie are finished..."

"Chopper, don't cry, we're not without options," Nami quickly said. "At worst, we can buy him first, and then secretly take the money from Merry."

"Right, Xi Yan!"

"Hey, Xi Yan, why aren't you saying anything?"

Xi Yan had been staring silently ahead since the beginning, and no one knew what he was thinking.

Xi Yan didn't answer, but looked at Luo Er and said, "Lend me that thing of yours that can contact everyone."

"Ah?"

"Okay, sure."

And so, amidst the puzzled looks of Nami and the others, Xi Yan took the microphone.

"I am Xi Yan."

The other Straw Hat Pirates members sitting on the Flying Fish Motorcycle immediately showed expressions of surprise.

"Xi Yan?"

"We've located Camie and Merry now," Xi Yan said. "They're at the auction house for Number One Tree."

"As expected of Xi Yan, they are truly reliable!"

"Okay, we'll go rescue them right away!"

"Profound!"

Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, the other members immediately exclaimed in surprise, and the members of the Flying Fish Riders began to maneuver their Flying Fish Motorcycle to change direction and fly towards Number One Tree.

Now that we know the location, there's no need to keep going in circles. Let's go straight to the destination and rescue them!

"Luffy, can you even hear me?" Xi Yan suddenly said.

Hearing Xi Yan's words, Luffy paused for a moment, then took the microphone and said, "Yes, I'm here."

"I'll settle accounts with you bastards for what you've done later," Xi Yan said. "Right now, I need to tell you something."

"There are Celestial Dragons at the auction for Number One Tree," Xi Yan said. "In order to reclaim our companions, we might clash with them."

"Celestial Dragons?!"

"So it was those guys...?"

Usopp and his companions looked shocked, clearly not expecting that this matter would involve the Celestial Dragons.

Doesn't this mean... they might have offended Marine Admiral?

However, they did not back down because of this. After all, this matter involved their comrades and friends, and even Marine Admiral could not change their will.

What are your thoughts?

"Luffy?"

Hearing Xi Yan's words, Luffy said, "Of course, Xi Yan."

"I don't care if he's Celestial Dragons or whatever, if he dares to lay a hand on my comrade, I'll beat him to a pulp!"

"Huh?!"

The entire Flying Fish Riders were shocked. Did this mean... they were planning to attack the Celestial Dragons?

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Xi Yan's lips gradually curled upwards. This was the Luffy he knew!

"Alright, let's meet at the auction for Number One Tree."

After Xi Yan finished speaking, he immediately disconnected the communication.

"Hey, Xi Yan, are you really planning to attack the Celestial Dragons?" Hatchan looked at Xi Yan in shock and said, "If you attack the Celestial Dragons, you'll provoke Marine Admiral!"

The Marine Admiral are all monster-level figures; they are simply no match for them.

"If they know what's good for them, I won't bother with them," Xi Yan said, glancing at Hatchan. "But if they insist on causing us trouble..."

"Celestial Dragons aren't immune to being killed!"

Xi Yan grinned, looking like a madman.

Clearly, the Celestial Dragons' ability to attract the attention of Marine Admiral and the like doesn't intimidate him.

If it really comes to that, he won't hold back.

"Gurgle..."

Lor swallowed hard; the sheer terror of this group far exceeded his expectations.

Not only do they want to kill Celestial Dragons, but they're also not afraid of Marine Admiral... That's insane!

"Xi Yan is right," Nami said, having calmed down. "If this problem can be solved with money, we wouldn't mind paying a billion to ransom them."

"But if it were them..."

Nami didn't finish her sentence, but the others understood what she meant.

When money is no longer enough, you have to resort to force.

"Merry ..."

"Don't worry, Chopper, we'll definitely bring them back," Xi Yan said. "I promise you."

"Um!"

Chopper clenched his fist upon hearing this, then looked up and said, "If a fight is necessary, I'll do my best!"

"Good!"

After saying that, Xi Yan glanced at Luo Er and said, "Go to the auction for Number One Tree as quickly as possible."

"We're already doing that," Lor said, sweat beading on his face. "But... Ninja Bro, we can't afford to go crazy with you guys..."

They have no problem finding and sending people to the Straw Hat Pirates, but when it comes to taking on Marine Admiral together... they simply don't have the ability.

After all... they were too weak.

So weak that the entire gang couldn't withstand a single Water Release Technique from this Ninja!

Thinking of this, Lor sighed silently.

"I know, you can leave once you've dropped us off," Xi Yan said.

He hadn't expected these guys to be of any help in the fight anyway.

but...

'If we really provoke Marine Admiral, Galette and the others will be in great danger...' Xi Yan thought with a frown.

Although the other party is a member of one of the Four Emperors, the Navy, as the opposing side, may not necessarily care about that.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan said, "Luo Er, can you do me a favor later?"

"What kind of help?"

If they don't need to fight, then helping out shouldn't be a problem.

This was also their leader's intention: to help the Straw Hat Pirates as much as possible.

"Do you remember the woman who was standing next to me just now?" Xi Yan asked.

"Woman..."

Lor recalled Galette's appearance and said, "Are you talking about the woman with the special cloak?"

Yes, it's her.

"Yes, I remember."

Not only that, he also remembered what another pirate looked like; that bastard almost killed his flying fish!!

"Good that you remember," Xi Yan said. "After you take us to our location, go find her and tell her that Marine Admiral might appear here, and that they should leave immediately."

"Just say it was me who said it."

"Okay, I got it." Lor nodded.

There's nothing wrong with him doing things that don't require fighting.

'I wonder if we can find them from that spot...' Lor murmured to himself.

If that woman's fight with that pirate ends, she might leave...

Thinking of this, Lor said, "Ninja Bro, could you tell me that person's name?"

"If she leaves there, I can look for her elsewhere."

"Oh, her name is Charlotte Galette," Xi Yan said.

"Charlotte..."

Hatchan lowered his head and muttered, "Why does this surname sound so familiar?"

He felt like he'd heard it somewhere before; had he remembered it wrong?

"Ah, she's from the New World, a member of Four Emperors Crew," Xi Yan explained. "She's from the Big Mom Pirates."

This is something Galette herself said.

However... Xi Yan felt this name was rather strange. Why call it the Big Mom Pirates?

Hatchan's expression Satori on him. No wonder the other person sounded familiar; it turned out the other person was from one of the Four Emperors... the Four Emperors Crew?!

"Huh?!!"

Hatchan looked at Xi Yan in shock and said, "Xi Yan, do you know anyone from the Four Emperors Crew?"

"Oh, we just met."

"I never expected that the Ninja Bro would even know someone from one of the Four Emperors Crew..."

Luo Er stared at Xi Yan in shock, never expecting that Xi Yan would know such an important person.

Those are the Four Emperors of the New World!!

To ordinary people like them, the Four Emperors are like gods.

Nami opened her mouth, wanting to ask Xi Yan's fiancée why she was a member of one of the Four Emperors Crew, but considering the current situation, she kept quiet.

Let's wait until we get back to the ship before asking about this in detail.

"Anyway, if you can't find them, go check the beach," Xi Yan said. "Maybe you can find them there."

"Oh, and remember to mention my name and Galette's name immediately, so you don't get mistaken for enemies and killed."

It wouldn't be good if this guy was mistaken for an enemy when he got close.

"Understood!" Lor said.

Thinking about it carefully... this might be the only chance he'll ever have to come into contact with a member of Four Emperors Crew.

Thinking about this, Lor felt a surge of excitement.

"Everyone, we've entered the range of Number One Tree." The fat man carrying Chopper glanced into the distance and said, "Please prepare!"

"Profound!"

"Ah, we've finally arrived." Charles Saint stepped down from the slave, glancing at him with displeasure, and said, "You've been moving incredibly slowly."

"Ed, I don't want this guy anymore, let's get rid of him later."

"Clear!"

Hearing their conversation, a look of despair appeared on the slave's face.

I initially thought the other party had forgotten about dealing with his matter, but... is it true that I can't escape this fate after all?

Thinking of this, the slave closed his eyes in anguish, letting the guards drag him away.

"I wonder if we'll get any mermaids this time," Charles Saint said. "I really want a pet like that."

"Fish-Man Race are very difficult to capture," Ed said. "It's hard to say whether they'll even appear this time."

"Never mind, let's wait and see."

If he found one, he would buy it and keep it as a pet.

If not, then forget it.

Ah~

"Saint Charles!"

A staff member quickly ran over, knelt down the moment he got close, and slid to Charles Saint's side.

"Enough talk, take me to my seat," Charles Saint said.

"Yes, sir, please follow me."

"Celestial Dragons, huh...?"

Trafalgar Law frowned as he watched Charlos Saint's retreating figure.

Who knows what unexpected situations might arise from having this guy here.

For some reason, I suddenly feel a little uneasy...

Luo rubbed his temples. Was it just his imagination?

"What's wrong, Captain?" Bepo asked in a low voice.

"Fine."

Luo shook his head, signaling the other person not to say anything more.

"Brother Charlos, you've finally arrived," Shalria Palace said. "My father and I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"There's nothing I can do, my slave walks too slowly."

Upon hearing Charles Saint's words, Rosward Saint gave him an annoyed look and said, "Can't you walk by yourself?"

"I like having slaves carry me."

Rosward Saint shook his head upon hearing this and said nothing more.

What can he say if his own son likes it?

"Next time I'll get you one that's faster."

"Good!"

A smile appeared on Charles Saint's face upon hearing his father's words.

He then waved to a staff member nearby, signaling them to come over.

"What's wrong, Lord Charles?"

"Are there any mermaids today?" Charles Saint asked.

"This..."

"Um?"

"Yes!" The staff member, quick-witted, cautiously approached and said, "There's a young female mermaid up for auction today."

"Oh, really?!"

Charlos Saint's eyes lit up immediately; he never expected that the mermaid pet he had always wanted would appear now!

After waving for the staff to leave, Charles Saint turned to his father and said, "Father, I want this. I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

"What's the use of this?" Rosward Saint asked, frowning.

He wasn't interested in young female mermaids; only powerful pirate captains could pique his interest, because they could be used for gladiatorial combat!

This is also what these old guys like to do most.

"I want to put her in a tank and then have piranhas chase after her, that would be so much fun!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Those who were relatively close all showed expressions of fear after hearing Charles Saint's words.

These Celestial Dragons... are far more cruel than we are.

"Whatever you want," Rosward Saint said.

He doesn't care about female mermaids anyway.

Of course, if he were to encounter a powerful Fish-Man Race, he wouldn't mind taking them down.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome the next product!" Disco said with a loud laugh.

As he finished speaking, a man was brought up, his face still showing fear.

He tried very hard to escape, but the people holding him on both sides were very strong, and he could only move forward.

"Everyone, look!" Disco exclaimed, "This is a powerful pirate; he's proficient in several musical instruments and is a homebody..."

Hearing the sounds coming from outside, Camie lowered her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

There are fewer and fewer slaves in the prison now; perhaps it won't be long before it's her turn.

Perhaps thinking about the hellish experience she would go through as a slave, Camie began to sob softly.

"All you do is cry!"

The staff outside coldly looked at Camie and said, "Crying won't change your fate!"

"That's right, hahaha!"

"Just look forward to your life as a slave from now on!"

"Beautiful... Miss Mermaid ~"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Hearing the group's arrogant laughter, Camie shuddered in fear and lowered her head even further.

The group was getting a little bored. They had thought the other person would shout for help or something, but it turned out they were just burying their heads in the sand.

After shaking their heads, the group went off to find some fun somewhere else.

Just then, a faint voice came from beside Camie.

"Kay... Camie- neechan..."

"Merry?!"

Upon hearing Merry's voice, Camie immediately turned to look beside her and promptly discovered that the little one who had been lying on the ground had woken up.

"Merry, how are you?"

Camie instinctively tried to stand up, but the chains on the wall held her firmly in place, making it impossible for her to move to Merry's side.

"I'm fine, it's just... I don't know why, I feel weak all over." Merry turned her eyes, glanced at her hands, and said, "But... I think I should recover soon."

After saying that, Merry took a breath and continued, "Sister Camie, don't cry..."

"When Xi Yan arrives... when they arrive... they will avenge us!!!"

As long as her hands can move, that's fine!

This way, they can activate the Reverse Summoning Technique to bring Xi Yan here and save them!

Upon hearing this, Camie wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then nodded very seriously and said:

"Um!"

Even little Merry is so strong, so as her older sister, she naturally has to be strong too!!

"Little one, although I don't know who you know, but... once you're inside, there's no way you can escape."

"That's because they haven't encountered us yet!"

Although Merry's body was unable to move, her eyes were full of confidence!

Seeing this, the slave beside him paused for a moment, then said, "I hope so..."
