Celestial Dragons Shatter Tashigi's Worldview

Brook's words left both Kalifa and Tashigi deeply embarrassed!!

Kalifa said, "Let's part ways here! We might meet again in the New World."

"Ha ha! Since we've run into each other, let's go to the amusement park together!" Luffy said carelessly as he adjusted his straw hat.

He did not care whether they had once been enemies. As long as they were not currently hostile, Luffy was easygoing about it.

Nami looked utterly helpless. Luffy was just like that, always making people worry about him.

"Yohoho~~" Brook laughed. "Nami, let's invite these two beautiful ladies to join us!!"

"Is joining us really the issue here?" Nami felt completely defeated. Why was every one of them so carefree??

What Nami and the others did not know was that Tashigi desperately wanted to say, "Straw Hat Pirates, surrender yourselves!!"

However, she thought of how she was alone right now. If she did that, Kalifa definitely would not help her.

Besides, her strength was truly far too weak.

Twenty minutes later.

A burly man stumbled into the crowd, shouting continuously, "Help! Someone, save me!"

"My daughter was only just born! I don't want to die, save me!"

Yet the townspeople all hurried away from the stumbling man.

Suddenly, the man grabbed a woman and roared, "Hurry up and save me! Save me!!"

"Let go of me." The woman was nearly unable to breathe as she spoke with difficulty.

Suddenly, the crowd heard bells ringing!!

One chime after another.

The man instantly froze. He hurriedly grabbed the collar around his neck with both hands. "Damn it, this cursed thing! If it weren't for this thing, how could I have ended up like this??"

As the bells rang faster and faster, five seconds later—

BOOM!!

The collar exploded, blowing the man beyond recognition.

Luffy and his group of ten happened to witness the scene as they passed by.

Every one of them stared in disbelief.

At that moment, a small dog ran over and urinated on the man.

Suddenly, many people at the end of the street began dropping to their knees.

Seeing this, Hatchan hurriedly cried, "This is bad! It's the world nobles, the Celestial Dragons! Everyone, get down on your knees!"

As soon as Hatchan said that, he immediately pulled Straw Hat Luffy down with him.

Luffy asked in confusion, "Why do we have to kneel? I'm not used to this, Hatchan!"

"Luffy, you have to listen to me, or there'll be big trouble!" Hatchan was clearly so nervous that he was nearly falling apart.

Camie's face had gone pale with fright, and her entire body trembled nonstop.

Kalifa's eyes flickered constantly, revealing just how unsettled she was inside.

Still, Kalifa did not forget to pull Tashigi down to kneel beside her.

Although Luo Chen had once told them that there was no one in this world they needed to fear.

Kalifa, who had come from CP9, instinctively feared the Celestial Dragons.

Not far away, Saint Roswald approached while leading a burly Pirate wearing a collar around his neck, along with Saint Shalria and several guards.

Saint Roswald said, "Shalria, your methods of training slaves are truly terrible. You couldn't even keep watch over one person."

"Father, who knew this guy would be so disobedient?" Saint Shalria replied.

Saint Roswald continued, "Then again, we forgot to give him a sedative today. Otherwise, this probably would not have happened."

Saint Shalria walked over to the man who had been blown to death and kicked him several times. "What a useless piece of trash, going on and on about his wife and child."

"That guy clearly can't move anymore, and she's still kicking him?" Luffy, who was kneeling on the ground, could not help wanting to rush forward, but Hatchan immediately held him down.

Hatchan hurriedly reminded him in a low voice, "Luffy, don't do anything reckless! They're world nobles. We can't afford to offend them."

At this moment, Hatchan was truly terrified by Luffy's impulsiveness.

Nami and Robin both covered their mouths with their hands, their faces filled with horror.

Camie lowered her head so far that she did not even dare glance at his shadow.

Brook was equally frightened stiff, his entire body frozen in a daze.

Chopper cried in terror, "Why is this town so terrifying??"

Tashigi's worldview had been completely shattered by the sight before her.

Tashigi said, "Kalifa, are the Celestial Dragons really the people the Marines protect? Why do they look even more evil than Pirates? The slave trade, this kind of darkness... does Marine justice allow it??"

"Tashigi, you're still too young. The World Government's darkness goes far beyond this!!" As a former member of CP9, Kalifa knew at least something about the World Government's darkness.

Suppressing her emotions, Tashigi asked, "Then does offending a Celestial Dragon mean a Marine Headquarters admiral will be deployed immediately?"

"Yes. The Celestial Dragons have the authority to mobilize Marine Headquarters admirals." Kalifa told Tashigi truthfully.

This was common knowledge anyway. Once Tashigi had spent enough time at sea, she would naturally have learned it.

Deep within Tashigi's heart, it felt as though a belief had collapsed.

If this was the justice protected by the Marines, then what exactly was the justice she had always upheld??

Even Tashigi herself did not know that cracks had already appeared in her sense of justice.

Saint Shalria looked at the Pirate beneath her feet in disgust. "What a revolting thing."

After saying that, Saint Shalria pulled out a gun, aimed it at the already dead Pirate, and fired several shots in succession.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Saint Roswald led the burly slave over slowly and said, "Let's go buy another slave! This time, you'd better train it properly! Don't ruin it again."

"It's only a slave! If it dies, it dies." Saint Shalria replied indifferently.

Saint Roswald did not care either. To the Celestial Dragons, it was merely a slave.
