"What?!"
The CP0 powerhouse in the white suit stared at the giant arm reaching for him, his scalp tingling.
He could clearly see that there wasn't even any Armament Haki coated on that arm.
It had shattered his killing blow purely through physical toughness and terrifying strength!
Panic surged in his heart, and he hurriedly tried to dodge Lynn's outstretched hand.
But the muscular, knotted giant arm had already clamped tightly around his neck before he knew it.
"This... how is this possible?!"
Solig widened his eyes, looking at the arm gripping his neck in utter shock.
He clenched his fists, intending to smash them against the arm.
However.
BOOM!!
A terrifying fist tore through the air, emitting a violent whistle as it slammed fiercely into his abdomen.
The massive force erupted, causing Solig's eyes to bulge as his body curled up like a shrimp.
Even his Devil Fruit ability failed to manifest again; that single punch had rendered his body completely incapable of further action.
Penny watched everything before her, her heart filled with shock.
Lynn... since when did Lynn possess such immense power?
It had only been a few seconds since they encountered the guards of the Celestial Dragon City, and he had already taken them all out?
Penny had originally assumed that she and Lynn would die at the hands of these guards.
Yet, time and again, Lynn revealed a terrifying strength that surpassed her understanding.
This gave her a faint, budding feeling in her heart.
Could they... could they actually manage to escape from Mary Geoise?
Lynn formed hand seals, extracting lightning-attribute Chakra from his cells as terrifying electrical currents surged and crackled from the frantic friction within his cells.
Immediately after, he spat out a golden Lightning Spear that was a full seven or eight meters long.
The moment this terrifying Lightning Spear appeared, it agitated the free ions in the surrounding air.
Wisps of terrifying electrical current, like wandering little snakes, blasted toward everyone on the ground.
BOOM!!
A massive explosion rang out.
Thick smoke billowed, and wild winds surged.
"Let's go, Penny."
Lynn turned around and hurriedly scooped up the still-dazed Penny.
"It might get a bit bumpy in a moment."
Before Penny could even react, she found that she and Lynn had instantly appeared more than ten meters away.
The two headed toward the sky ahead, using Moonwalk to charge forward.
Meanwhile, a large number of other Celestial Dragons rushed toward the site of their battle with the guard squad.
The thick smoke was gradually blown away by the gale, turning into streaks and wisps that faded and dissipated.
Looking at the massive crater that had appeared in the combat zone, all the Celestial Dragons grew excited.
"Hehe... those two damned slaves must be dead by now!"
"Exactly, exactly! To actually harbor delusions of escaping—those damned slaves should have been tortured mercilessly!"
However, some Celestial Dragons discovered the corpse of Saint Charlos, along with the clothing of the CP guard members.
"Wait! Saint Charlos is dead!"
"What? Saint Charlos is dead?"
"And the clothes on these corpses, that white suit..."
"Captain Solig is dead too!!"
"Saint Libut! Princess Olihael... they're dead too?!"
"..."
Hearing the news of the Celestial Dragons' deaths, all the arriving Celestial Dragons scrambled back onto their human mounts.
Their faces were filled with disbelief.
After all, the Celestial Dragons were the World Nobles, the face of the World Government.
The death of a Celestial Dragon was a major incident.
Whenever a Celestial Dragon died, a Marine Admiral would be dispatched to hunt the culprits down, and the World Government's CP organizations would send out their elites.
Until the murderer of the Celestial Dragons was dead.
The news that Saint Charlos and other Celestial Dragons had been caught in the crossfire and killed fermented rapidly throughout Celestial Dragon City.
Upon hearing that Celestial Dragons had been killed and that the entire guard force of the city had been wiped out, the slaves of Saint Charlos were filled with disbelief.
This was especially true for those trapped in their cages, waiting for Lynn and Penny to be dragged back and tortured incessantly.
"The... the Celestial Dragons are dead?"
"How... how is this possible? Those two slaves not only killed the Celestial Dragons but also escaped?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! The security in Mary Geoise is so tight that even Devil Fruit users can't escape. How could the two of them possibly manage it?!"
"But that Lynn, he seems to possess a very powerful ability. I wonder what Devil Fruit he ate."
It wasn't just the slaves who were shocked by the escape of Lynn and Penny.
Even the Five Elders were enraged when they heard the news that slaves had killed Celestial Dragons and immediately fled Mary Geoise.
Saint Saturn wore a black suit, his white curly hair and fluffy white beard well-groomed, a flat cap perched on his head, and a scar running down his left cheek.
He was the member of the Five Elders who oversaw Science and Defense.
"Another slave has escaped, and they have killed several Celestial Dragons..."
"Have CP0 handle this with the highest priority, and contact Sengoku to have him dispatch several Marine Admirals to hunt them down."
"They are just two slaves; they are likely already dead before even leaving Mary Geoise."
Following the orders of the Five Elders, CP0 and Marine Headquarters moved into action.
Marine Admiral Akainu had originally been keeping an eye on the Whitebeard Pirates, preparing for the upcoming Summit War.
But upon receiving the message from Headquarters, he headed straight for the Red Line.
Organizations with extensive intelligence networks and fast information channels soon learned that Akainu had turned back.
The news that a slave had killed Celestial Dragons and escaped from Mary Geoise made the front page of the newspapers the very next day.
In an instant, the entire world learned that Celestial Dragons had been killed by a slave in their own home, and that the slave had successfully escaped Mary Geoise.
Shiki the Golden Lion drifted through the sky on his own island.
His golden hair was wild, his legs had been severed and replaced with his own two swords.
A ship's wheel was embedded in his skull, giving him the appearance of a rooster.
Looking at the news in the paper, Shiki let out a hearty laugh.
"Hahahahaha!! The brats of this sea are getting more gutsy by the day!"
"I broke out of Impel Down, and he broke out of the Celestial Dragons' Mary Geoise—now that's real guts!"
"I have to find him; he would definitely make a fine crewmate!"
It wasn't just the great pirates of the previous era; even the pirates of the current era with massive bounties took note of the slave who had escaped Mary Geoise.
"Lynn, is it? Fufufufu, how interesting. To actually escape from a place like Mary Geoise."
Doflamingo, draped in his pink feather coat, looked up toward his swimming pool.
"I must see if I can find this guy."
The conditions the Five Elders had just proposed were ones that even a flamingo like him could hardly refuse.
While the whole world was searching for the two slaves, Lynn and Penny, Lynn was slowly leaving the Red Line, stepping through the air with Moonwalk.
Thanks to the Electric Current Drive and the terrifying physique granted by DC Lynn, the effect of Lynn's Moonwalk was countless times better than before.
With just a light leap, he could jump over a hundred meters into the high air.
Not to mention the efficiency of using Moonwalk.
Penny was held in Lynn's arms, her hands wrapped around his neck as she looked down, her face showing a hint of fear.
"Lynn, where are we going now?"
Lynn looked at the sea below, estimating their direction, and said:
"Sabaody Archipelago."
He thought about it carefully; as for the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Enel should have already gone to the moon.
Even if he were to kill Enel on the moon, there was a high probability he wouldn't be able to obtain the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.
So, it was better to directly plot for Kid's Magnet-Magnet Fruit.
Lynn had a premonition that as soon as he obtained the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, he might be able to push the pure power within his body to the level of Magnetic Field Rotation ahead of schedule!
And once he broke through to Magnetic Field Rotation, the power he possessed would be a thousand times stronger and a hundred times more potent!
