Tashigi's Decision

After several twists and turns, they finally learned that Camie had been transferred to the auction house in Grove 1.

Pappag said in a panic, his whole body trembling with worry, "There's almost no time left. The auction is about to begin. What should we do now?"

"Don't worry, everyone. We'll take you there," Duval said with a smile as he flew over on a flying fish.

(Duval was once mistaken for Sanji and later had his appearance altered by Sanji.)

Luffy laughed as well. "Haha, you came at exactly the right time."

More than a dozen flying fish carried everyone away at once. Kalifa and Tashigi were dragged along too, each riding a flying fish.

Actually, Kalifa had not wanted to come along this time. She had wanted to see the Pirate King's first mate, Dark King Rayleigh, with her own eyes.

But it was obvious that they probably would not find him now, because the Straw Hat Pirates were going to rescue someone.

Tashigi, however, was different this time. She could not stand human traffickers and wanted to kill them with her own hands.

So Kalifa had been dragged along by Tashigi.

Kalifa said gloomily, "Tashigi, if we act on our own like this, won't Luo Chen get angry when he finds out?"

"Kalifa, you've got the nerve to criticize me? Weren't you constantly acting on your own before too?" Tashigi fired back at Kalifa without hesitation.

If Kalifa had not dragged her along from the beginning to follow the Straw Hat Pirates, none of this would have happened.

Meanwhile, on a street in another Lawless Area of the Sabaody Archipelago.

The civilians all knelt down. Even several Supernovas chose to kneel before the Celestial Dragons.

Capone Bege, Bonney, Urouge, Hawkins, Apoo, and the others were all there.

However, they either hid themselves or knelt where they stood. None of them chose to offend the Celestial Dragons.

Saint Charlos sat atop a crawling slave, his gaze dull, when he suddenly spotted several people running ahead while carrying a stretcher.

"Hold it. Who gave you permission to stand in front of me?"

Saint Charlos's voice frightened those people badly. After all, the authority of a Celestial Dragon was terrifying.

One of the female nurses pleaded, "Please, let us pass! The patient is almost gone."

Saint Charlos frowned and walked over. Reaching the patient's side, he looked down and said, "He really does seem like he's about to die!!"

Just as the nurse was about to thank him!!

Saint Charlos raised his foot and kicked the stretcher over. "Since he's about to die anyway, let him be free of his suffering!!"

Urouge, kneeling on the ground, smiled and muttered, "The world nobles, the Celestial Dragons, really are lawless."

After looking the female nurse over twice, Saint Charlos said with satisfaction, "Take this woman back with me. She'll be my thirteenth wife."

"I don't want the first five wives anymore. Demote them directly to slaves!!"

"Yes, Saint Charlos," the butler in a suit and sunglasses beside him replied respectfully.

"No, no." The nurse turned deathly pale, helpless and terrified.

Just as the nurse was panicking.

A man rushed out and shouted, "That's my wife. Please let her go."

"Damn it, someone else is standing in front of me." When had Saint Charlos ever been surrounded by humans wandering about in front of him like this?

He raised his pistol and fired twice.

Bang!!

Bang!!

In an instant, the man who had rushed out collapsed to the ground.

The nurse gathered her courage and ran to her husband's side, crying out again and again, "Someone, save him."

"Someone, please save him!!"

Yet no one on either side of the street dared to answer. Answering would be the same as offending a Celestial Dragon.

Then, footsteps suddenly sounded.

"Godfather, that man is the pirate hunter from the East Blue, Roronoa Zoro," a pirate quietly reminded Capone Bege.

Capone Bege fixed his gaze tightly on Roronoa Zoro. "I heard long ago that this group acts without restraint. Looks like it's true."

Urouge smiled. "So how will you deal with what happens next, Roronoa Zoro?"

Apoo looked on mockingly. "Now this should be entertaining."

Bonney said speechlessly, "That idiot is going to get us killed! If I get dragged into this, I won't let you off, Roronoa Zoro."

Hawkins calculated with his cards and said, "Strange. No matter how I calculate it, Roronoa Zoro shows no sign of death today."

Zoro drank wine with one hand in his pocket. Suddenly noticing a strange man staring at him, he asked, "What? Do you want directions?"

For the first time, Saint Charlos was completely stunned. He fired his pistol twice in succession.

Bang!!

Bang!!

As Zoro dodged the bullets and gripped Shusui, about to draw it!!

Bonney leaped out, hugged Zoro, and pressed him to the ground.

Just as Zoro was about to question her!

Bonney whispered, "Stay down and don't move."

Saint Charlos said in confusion, "Strange, it felt like I missed."

"Whatever. As long as he's dead."

"Let's go! Otherwise, my sister and father will nag me again for being too slow."

After Saint Charlos sat back on the slave, he kept kicking the slave beneath him.

"It's all because of you, useless slave. You're so slow that I still haven't reached my father."

The slave crawling on his knees was already on the verge of collapse, yet he still kept crawling forward.

After the Celestial Dragon left, Zoro touched the sauce on his face in confusion. "Is this ketchup?"

"Idiot, bastard, do you know what you just did? You could summon an admiral! Do you even understand that?" Bonney pointed at Roronoa Zoro and cursed him nonstop.

Zoro hoisted the fallen man onto his shoulder and asked, "Where's the hospital?"

"Idiot, you're hopeless. Since when do Pirates save people?" Bonney looked at Roronoa Zoro as if he were an idiot.
