"Hehehehehe!"
Buggy's smile was extremely exaggerated.
His arrogant, unrestrained laughter was full of villainous flavor.
What a rare feeling!
After leaving Gotham, he hadn't felt like an evil villain like this for a long time.
He was quite enjoying this feeling.
Especially seeing the interesting scene of Marineford's silence through the Image Den Den Mushi in front of him, it could bring a little solace to his extremely twisted heart, which had become dry.
"This is exactly what we've been waiting for."
The commonality of chaos stemmed from their dissatisfaction with the current order.
And the innate desire for chaos was the starting point of all of Buggy's actions.
"Hey! You commoner over there, hurry up and unlock this thing for me!"
Inside the Iron Cage.
Shalria Saint, who had been struggling for a while, became increasingly dissatisfied and yelled in a very arrogant tone.
Clearly, he still didn't have a clear understanding of his situation.
Of course, for Shalria, he had just arrived here after his eyes went black while choosing today's mount.
Those bodyguards were useless too!
He'd demote them all to slaves later!
"Of course, I'll unlock it," Buggy replied with a smile.
He held a switch and pressed it a few times.
"Let me see, how should I set it? Auto-detonation, immediate detonation, delayed detonation. Yes, this is it."
"The Donquixote Family's products are indeed good."
He didn't forget to give Doflamingo another advertisement.
He then looked up again, his gaze falling on the blue Den Den Mushi responsible for the Live Broadcast.
The Den Den Mushi's bell-like eyes blinked not at all.
It was hard to imagine this was a creation of nature.
Buggy felt this was more like some extremely advanced bio-technology, almost encompassing all the functions of instant communication in modern technology.
"Almost forgot."
"As our first auction item, the starting bid for Saint Charlos is."
"An Admiral."
Buggy's voice spread clearly throughout the entire square.
Using an Admiral to auction off a Celestial Dragon.
How audacious!
"This bastard!" Sengoku's veins were about to burst on his forehead.
He knew now that this damned fellow was forcing him to make a choice at this moment.
The Celestial Dragon family of Saint Charlos was stationed on Sabaody Archipelago, and the disappearance of their family would immediately cause shockwaves within the CP organization.
If that were the case, he wouldn't be so passive.
Therefore, this incident of the Celestial Dragon being kidnapped must have been sudden, possibly even happening an hour ago, or even just half an hour ago.
This also meant that the other party's location could only be Sabaody Archipelago.
Time would not allow this pirate to transfer so quickly.
Sengoku's gaze swept over the three Admirals.
Perhaps Kizaru could do it?
"Yare yare, do I have to appear right at the opening?"
Kizaru seemed to sense something and stood up proactively.
Smash the screen directly and pretend nothing happened, continuing the war with the Whitebeard Pirates?
This was unrealistic, and the World Government would not allow it.
In their eyes, the lives of Celestial Dragons were far more important than Whitebeard.
But they couldn't let Buggy continue to suppress the Marines' morale like this.
Since Buggy's words fell, the pirates' laughter had almost reached the high platform.
The best way was to kill this suicidal pirate directly in front of the camera!
However, Kizaru had just moved.
A terrifying tremor, almost capable of tearing apart heaven and earth, suddenly erupted from the Underground Depths!
"Hahaha, Buggy, I owe you one!"
Whitebeard's eyes widened, and a white halo appeared in his hand, heavily striking down on the Moby Dick.
Crack—snap—
The air continuously split apart under the terrifying power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
Even more terrifying was that this shockwave of power spread from Whitebeard's hand, delving deep into the ground.
Rumble—rumble—
The entire Execution Plaza began to shake violently, as if experiencing an Earth Dragon Turning Over.
Clumps of dark soil continuously surged out from the concrete surface, and the fissures existing in the Underground Depths further amplified the power of this tremor.
A bottomless Great Rift Valley split the Execution Plaza in two.
"To dare be distracted when facing me, Sengoku, it seems you've grown old!"
The Strongest Man in the World announced his undeniable presence to the Marines with a colossal rift and an aged roar!
"."
On the Big Screen, Buggy's previously mocking expression seemed to turn solemn at this terrifying power.
Only after a moment did his relieved voice sound out.
"Good, good, the screen isn't broken."
If this grand spectacle were to lack the participation of the Marines, it would truly lose half its fun.
His unconcerned gaze seemed to tell the Den Den Mushi outside the view.
Law, leaning against the wall with a Demon Blade in his arms, and Morgans, already packing his belongings to flee.
Look at this.
This is undoubtedly the most unmissable opportunity since the dawn of the Great Pirate Era.
At least in the past twenty years, one couldn't find an instance like this, seeing the Navy and the World Government display such a frustrated yet helpless expression!
Even more terrifying was that this Live Broadcast was facing the entire world.
"Auctioning... Celestial Dragons?"
The entire world, all the Member Nations of the World Government, tens of millions of people.
He saw the Celestial Dragon who had been fitted with a slave collar.
The supreme image and status of the World Nobles seemed to collapse with a bang.
What a... lunatic!
Law's hand, gripping the Demon Blade, couldn't help but tremble.
What a daring act!
This was...
so exhilarating!
Beneath his winter hat, his seemingly indifferent eyes seemed to burn with fervor at this grand feat.
He was even a participant himself!
"Ah, I almost forgot to mention."
Buggy slapped his forehead, looking annoyed.
"Our first auction time is 5 minutes."
"If it fails to sell, then it's truly regrettable."
"You wouldn't want to see—"
CRASH!
A Golden Shockwave shattered the screen.
Sengoku, who had thrown off his glasses at some point, looked furious.
He pointed a finger towards Whitebeard's direction.
"Attack!"
The gritted teeth in his voice made all the Marines understand that the Fleet Admiral was truly angry.
The Navy's strategy had completely shifted due to the disruption by that damned Joker.
Originally, they only needed to withstand Whitebeard's attack on their home ground and then execute that sinful bloodline to the world.
But now, they were forced to attack proactively!
The trap that had originally surrounded Whitebeard suddenly became a hindrance, preventing them from rushing to the Celestial Dragon's feet.
War.
The battle immediately entered a white-hot state that forced both sides into a frenzy.
"Madness is like Gravity, you just need a gentle push."
On the shattered screen, Buggy's smile seemed to be the origin of the madness.
"Hey, Commoner, did you hear--"
With a bang.
Blood splattered everywhere.
"Ah, I'm so sorry, it seems I set the Detonator incorrectly."
