Starting as the Shendu Template, Executing a Celestial Dragon

Sea Circle Calendar 1516.

Sabaody Archipelago.

Inside the slave auction house, people were chatting and laughing as they discussed which slaves to bid on.

Locked inside a backstage cell, a calm and silent youth sat quietly.

"Kid, what's your name? How did you get caught?"

An old man sitting in the neighboring cell remained calm and drank his wine even though he was bound by chains.

"Ye Zhuo, and you? Why were you captured?"

Ye Zhuo could not make out the old man in the darkness, but he felt the voice sounded quite amiable.

The collar locked around his neck would explode the moment he attempted to escape, leaving no hope of surviving.

"Me? I lost a bet and sold myself as a chip, hahahaha!"

The old man laughed happily, not even remembering how many times he had been auctioned off as a slave.

Ye Zhuo did not speak; he was waiting for the right moment.

Until a character panel flickered and appeared before him.

Only after confirming everything this time did Ye Zhuo breathe a sigh of relief.

His eyes lit up slightly as he recalled living to ninety-nine years old in his previous life and dying naturally in his sleep.

He had played his own role his entire life.

Over the course of his life, Ye Zhuo had accumulated countless knowledge, skills, and combat techniques.

From traditional martial arts to ring sanshou, street no-holds-barred combat, and all kinds of firearms, bows, swords, spears, and stubs, he handled them all with ease.

He was still practicing Tai Chi on the morning of his death!

In order to complete the system's missions, Ye Zhuo had stayed single his entire life.

By guarding his vital essence, he lived a long life, but he always felt something was missing.

"Hoo~"

Ye Zhuo swore that what he lacked in his past life, he would definitely make up for in this one.

"Next up, number 13, human male, very young, name unknown, very handsome, can be bought back as a male concubine!"

Ye Zhuo stood up; the tag hanging around his neck read number 13.

"Young man, do you need a hand?"

The white-haired old man asked once more.

"No need, I can manage on my own."

Ye Zhuo stood up, dragging his chains as he walked out of the cell.

Cheers erupted, and the curtain was pulled back with a jerk by the auction house owner.

The blinding lights shone into his eyes.

"Where are the Celestial Dragons?"

Ye Zhuo saw the sea of people at the auction house, and some nobles immediately raised their bidding paddles to give their own prices.

"Three hundred thousand Beli!"

The auction house owner's cry attracted everyone's attention.

Everyone looked over and saw a woman tightly protected by guards on the stage.

She wore a large protective suit and had an oxygen mask on her head, looking quite pretty indeed.

A Celestial Dragon!

Seeing this scene, not a single person dared to contend for the ownership of Ye Zhuo anymore.

"Nani? No one is competing anymore? Truly boring."

The snotty man on the side was dressed similarly, except that he had snot running down and looked extremely foolish.

Their father sat in the middle with an indifferent expression.

Celestial Dragons were simply that rampant and tyrannical.

"Celestial Dragons?"

After adjusting to the lights, Ye Zhuo identified the three Celestial Dragons in the spectator stands at a glance.

"Get down there already!"

The auction house owner shouted angrily at Ye Zhuo.

"Alright."

In his life, Ye Zhuo had watched countless anime and read numerous novels.

Regarding the Celestial Dragons, he had only a single-word evaluation.

Kill!

Walking down the road, Ye Zhuo adapted to his own power.

He knew the abilities of the Twelve Talismans inside out.

The capability of every single talisman was burned into his memory.

Meanwhile, acting as the "Demon Sorcerer Form" meant formidable strength, speed, durability, stamina, and healing.

Combined with the Twelve Talismans, it was an unprecedented Mythical Zoan, and possessed no side effects whatsoever.

Flexing his five fingers, Ye Zhuo felt his hands and feet loosen up comfortably.

He could freely transform between human form and the Demon Sorcerer Form.

"I pretty much understand."

Ye Zhuo grasped the chains around his neck with both hands.

With a snap, the immense strength of the Ox Talisman destroyed them.

The speed of the Rabbit Talisman allowed Ye Zhuo to fling them out instantly.

Boom!

The chains were instantly tossed in front of the Celestial Dragons.

The explosive sound immediately caused everyone to flee in terror.

The guards acted as if facing a formidable enemy.

Yet they couldn't even clearly see who the enemy was.

Bang!

After throwing a punch, Ye Zhuo pulled back his hands and feet.

"Did I beat him to death?"

Ye Zhuo looked to the side again; the female Celestial Dragon had already been blasted to death instantly.

With another punch, he battered an old one to death.

If he hadn't pulled back his punches just now, even the other slug-like one would have been dealt with.

The mission requirement was to execute a Celestial Dragon on the streets of the Sabaody Archipelago.

If he killed them this easily, the system wouldn't grant any rewards.

Recruiting too many lackeys out on the ocean was a hassle; if he had the Shadowkhan, things would be much easier.

"I am Saint Charlos, a Celestial Dragon! If you dare touch me, you'll be hunted down by an Admiral!"

Saint Charlos shouted incoherently and frantically.

"Got it, killing you will earn me the greetings of an Admiral."

Ye Zhuo lifted him up with one hand, looking somewhat regretfully at the dead female Celestial Dragon.

"What a pity, it's not like male Celestial Dragons are out of the question either."

Clang!

Despite his regret, the guard launched a swift attack.

With the speed of the Rabbit Talisman and formidable combat skills, Ye Zhuo naturally dodged it in the very first instant.

"You're too weak."

Boom!

The laser in his eyes erupted instantly, and the Pig Talisman pierced the Celestial Dragons guards like skewers.

"Young folks really don't need an old codger like me to help."

Inside the auction house.

Rayleigh tore through the iron plating and walked out calmly.

He glanced at the auction house, which was already deserted with people long gone, and left calmly.

Young people nowadays certainly had energy.

Outside the venue.

Ye Zhuo hovered in mid-air, holding the already piss-scared Saint Charlos in one hand while searching for a crowded street.

"You really like buying slaves, huh."

"S-So-so."

Saint Charlos had completely lost his nerve once his guards were wiped out, his heartbeat racing faster and faster.

Ye Zhuo remembered that a few years later, this guy would also be buying slaves in the Sabaody Archipelago, only to get beaten up by Luffy.

"Would it be alright if you died right here?"

Ye Zhuo picked out the most crowded spot.

Saint Charlos was casually tossed down and was half-killed from the fall right then and there.

"Murder!"

"That looks like a Celestial Dragon!"

"Is he crazy? Defying a Celestial Dragon will bring an admiral down on us!"

Pirates and ordinary citizens alike began to flee frantically.

Only Morgans' subordinates hid in the corners to take pictures.

Boom!

The power of the Dragon Talisman erupted, instantly blasting Saint Charlos into ashes!
