Celestial Dragons

The towering mangroves of Sabaody Archipelago were now in sight. Buggy stood up, a sense of anticipation rising within him. He wondered how the crew members who had remained on Sabaody Archipelago had fared over the past eight months...

The female warriors on the ship felt that the men in front of them were more dangerous than they appeared, and they secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that they were about to reach their destination.

Only Boa Sandersonia's face was shrouded in gloom, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

"Palace lantern flower..." Boa Hancock frowned and asked, noticing her sister acting strangely, "Are you sick?"

"I'm not sick... or maybe I am, I don't know..." Boa Sandersonia forced a smile, then listlessly walked towards the cabin. "Sister, I'm going to rest now..."

Something's wrong! What's wrong with the palace lantern flowers?

Boa Hancock watched Boa Sandersonia's retreating figure, then glanced sideways and said, "Marigold, go take care of Lanternflower. After we've seen those men off the ship, I'll go check on her."

"Yes, sister." Boa Marigold nodded and went into the cabin as well.

Mohji was also very reluctant to end this voyage. After all, few people could chat with him so freely. If he could, he wished the ship could sail a little slower.

However, the snake boat eventually docked half an hour later.

"Although I don't know your true intentions, since you've brought us here, then... I'll say thank you." Buggy jumped off the ship, looked at the tall Boa Hancock on the deck, and smiled faintly, "It's always good to be grateful..."

"Hmph!" Boa Hancock snorted coldly, flicking her cloak. "Don't try to lecture me. I never need a reason to do what I do. Even if I gave you all a free ride before, I can turn on you and take your lives right now!!"

"Alright..." Buggy shrugged and smiled slightly. Rayleigh chuckled along. Once everyone had disembarked, Boa Hancock looked coldly at the crowd on the shore and said, "You don't need to misunderstand. I have no intention of having anything to do with you. That's enough for today!"

After saying that, she suddenly seemed to sense something and looked to the right in a daze. Seeing that Boa Hancock was acting strangely, Buggy also turned around and looked in that direction in confusion.

A hundred meters away on the coastline, a giant Marine warship was moored. A glittering sloping ladder was built on the deck of the warship and faced the shore. Nearly a hundred sailors on the shore stood in two rows, straight backs, and performed military salutes without moving like statues.

Then, several figures emerged from the cabin. These people included both men and women, and they all shared the common feature of wearing bubble headgear and displaying an arrogant demeanor. The person accompanying them appeared to be a high-ranking naval officer, but the group completely ignored him and continued down the ramp.

"They're Celestial Dragons..."

Buggy frowned slightly. The Celestial Dragons are descendants of the twenty kings who established the World Government eight hundred years ago. They enjoy the greatest privileges in the world. Once offended, they will attract the attention of the Marine Headquarters Admiral. However, apart from the Alabasta family and Donquixote Doflamingo's family, there should only be eighteen Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise.

In reality, Buggy doesn't think it's wrong for his ancestors to leave a legacy that protects future generations. If he were in a different position, he would very much like to become Celestial Dragons, above the law, and do whatever he wants without restraint. However, it seems that due to inbreeding, the intelligence and stupid appearance of these Celestial Dragons are really not flattering, making people want to punch them.

"Those guys..."

Boa Hancock on the serpent boat trembled uncontrollably, the shadow of her childhood suddenly looming over her. A few beads of sweat dripped from her forehead. She clutched her chest, gasped for breath, and cried out urgently, "Rindou... set sail! We need to get out of here immediately!!"

"Yes... Snake Princess!" Although Rindou was confused, he quickly carried out Boa Hancock's order, turning the serpent boat around and heading towards the sea.

The sound of the serpent boat turning around made Buggy, who had stopped, glance back. At that moment, Rayleigh slowly said, "The Celestial Dragons... are truly a very special existence."

Buggy asked knowingly, "Is it so special that even the Shichibukai are afraid?"

Rayleigh said, "It's only related to the three Boa sisters; it must have been a tragic childhood..."

However, the two did not continue their conversation there. Buggy sensed that the Celestial Dragons were looking in their direction.

"Let's go, Mr. Rayleigh."

After saying that, the group turned and left the coast.

Meanwhile, one of the Celestial Dragons disembarking from the warship turned his head and scanned the empty shore, then pointed in the direction Buggy had left, "Bring those guys here, I want a mount!"

The naval officer's name was Chadley. He wasn't particularly capable, but he was very good at flattery. During one of his escort missions for the Celestial Dragons, he did something that pleased them, so the Celestial Dragons the World Government to promote Chadley. This order was then relayed by the World Government to Fleet Admiral Sengoku.

Sengoku initially opposed the idea, but after thinking it over, he realized that although most Marine Headquarters officers were unwilling to come into contact with the Celestial Dragons, the Navy did need someone specifically to deal with them. After this consideration, he agreed and promoted Chadley to Marine Headquarters Commodore, assigning him a standard warship to specifically transport and handle matters related to the Celestial Dragons.

Upon hearing the Celestial Dragons's order, Chadley's face broke into a fawning smile. "I'll take care of it right away, Saint Charlos!"

Having said that, he immediately gave the order to the soldiers, "Soldiers..."

"Enough, Chadley!" an older Celestial Dragons interrupted.

Chadley bowed slightly. "Yes, yes."

Saint Charlos asked, "Father, why won't you let me tame those guys?"

"An old man with white hair, a kid in a wild animal skin, and two weak-looking men—these kinds of guys are everywhere on this island. How can we waste our time on them!" said the older Celestial Dragons. "Let's go to the auction house and buy some captain slaves. I'll give you some fun stuff later."

Saint Charlos sniffed the snot hanging from his face. "It's a deal then, Dad, you can't go back on your word!"

"Of course not, you're my most beloved son!"

"And what about me?" another female Celestial Dragons wearing sunglasses asked.

"Of course you're my most beloved daughter!"

"I knew you wouldn't be biased, Dad!"

The family immediately became happy and headed towards the center of Sabaody Archipelago. Chadley ordered the warship to dock on the spot, while he led a squad of marines who followed the Celestial Dragons like lackeys.
