Anyone Buying Pork

"Goodbye, Rayleigh!"

"Goodbye!"

Rayleigh knew that Ye Zhuo did not need his guidance.

The two meeting and then parting was merely an inevitable cause and effect.

Besides, Ye Zhuo had long since grown to the peak among pirates, and heading out to contend with the Four Emperors was his path.

Sabaody Archipelago.

Ever since the last incident involving the execution of Celestial Dragons, a period of time had passed without anyone wandering around here.

The Marines had also tightened their control here.

The bloodline of Celestial Dragons was historically synonymous with courting death.

Apart from the elite among Celestial Dragons and the Holy Knights, the majority of Celestial Dragons were indeed good for nothing.

The pirate world had always revered the strong.

The elite Celestial Dragons and the Holy Knights were enough to replace all the trash among them.

At this moment.

Two snot-nosed ones were strolling down the main street.

Rows of commoners knelt on the ground.

The guards around them were heavily fortified, shielding the two in the middle.

They sat atop tall giant slaves, while also holding leashes tied to fish-man slaves crawling on the ground.

They walked arrogantly and lawlessly down the avenue.

Until they saw a group of people shopping on the street with no intention of kneeling whatsoever.

That was right.

The members of the Demon King pirate crew were resupplying after bidding farewell to Rayleigh.

As luck would have it.

The Celestial Dragons, whose bones were itching, happened to wander over at this exact moment.

"How dare they not kneel!"

The pig-headed one at the lead raised his gun, and the moment he pulled the trigger, the guards also launched a swift attack.

Daring to stand in front of Celestial Dragons, how utterly audacious!

With a flash of a sword slash.

Tashigi blocked the attack and, in the moment she intercepted it, felt a surge of joy at how fast she had progressed.

The moment she raised her head and saw the Celestial Dragons, how could she not understand what this meant.

A bullet cut through the air in an instant.

Iron Body!

Kalifa took the lead, and as she began learning Armament Haki, she rescued Tashigi.

"Bullying Tashigi like that, how extremely rude!"

Perona appeared and twirled her umbrella.

Negative Hollows immediately burrowed into everyone's bodies.

Everyone except the Celestial Dragons dropped to their knees.

"Being born a human, I am truly sorry."

"Damn it, damn it, why am I not a cockroach!"

"Even a rat is more lovable than me!"

Only the two dumbfounded Celestial Dragons remained.

"Do you know the consequences of defying us?"

"What consequences?"

Robin's voice sounded, and the Flower-Flower Fruit instantly seized control of one of them, twisting him into half a pretzel.

"Rude wretches!"

Nami was already in a bad mood from spending money, and she swung her golden staff.

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit released an electrical current, immediately striking one of the Celestial Dragons.

Usually, they preferred to avoid trouble when they could.

Yet their captain had already killed Celestial Dragons before, and even executed one in the streets.

There was no need to hold back at all.

"Go to hell! Mero Mero!"

Empress naturally hated these guys the most, and turned the one who hadn't been electrocuted to death into a statue.

Only the Celestial Dragon twisted into a pretzel by Robin remained.

His arrogant expression quickly shifted, as he had originally thought an admiral would come to save him.

Until a figure carrying a wine bottle appeared not far away.

Ye Zhuo tilted his head to glance at him, smiling as he gestured a cutting motion across his own neck.

That crippled Celestial Dragon instantly trembled with fear.

Demon King Ye Zhuo!

This guy had stirred up public outrage right in Mary Geoise, the Holy Land.

The Holy Knights had originally intended to make a move.

Yet following the failure of the Buster Calls led by the two admirals, the matter had simply fizzled out.

Because of this.

Ye Zhuo's bounty poster had been seen and etched into the hearts of all Celestial Dragons.

When running into him, never expect the Holy Knights or a marine admiral to come to the rescue.

By the time anyone arrived, the corpse would already be cold!

"Kill me! Kill me!"

The snot-nosed Celestial Dragon shrieked, for he had no desire to die at Ye Zhuo's hands.

This fellow's cruelty was notorious.

It was said that a Vegapunk guard named Sentomaru had already been turned into a pig.

"Go be Sentomaru's brother."

Ye Zhuo stepped forward and turned him into a pig.

How swift was a Supreme Grade Blade.

A flash of blade light, and the pig head hit the ground.

"Is anyone buying pork?"

A single sentence caused the kneeling people at the scene to raise their heads and steal glances at the spectacle.

Their bodies trembled, yet a trace of blood surged hot within them.

Celestial Dragons could die too!

Calling themselves gods, not only would they die, but they were killed twice by the very same person!

"None? Then I'm leaving."

Ye Zhuo looked toward Kalifa and Nami.

"Are our supplies enough?"

"Yeah, enough to sail into the New World for a while."

Nami glanced around the area and replied.

Once she witnessed the slave auction house, she understood.

The prototype of Arlong Park.

"Let's go, everyone. First target, Impel Down!"

Ye Zhuo waved his hand, and figure after figure of graceful women followed closely behind.

Vivi's gaze toward him shifted slightly, a wave of warmth blooming deep within her heart.

"A Celestial Dragon, dead."

Eight hundred years ago, the royal family of Alabasta withdrew from the alliance after the war ended.

Otherwise, the Celestial Dragons of today would no longer number nineteen.

"This guy doesn't seem quite as hateful either."

Perona said happily.

"Is that so? You made a move against a Celestial Dragon.

That means going back will bring trouble for Moria, you know."

Robin offered a reminder.

"Damn it, this was all his scheming!"

Perona said angrily.

Tashigi could not help but smile, looking gratefully at Kalifa who had saved her.

"Strange, isn't it?

When you stay far from him, he lets you get close and journey together.

Yet when you try to draw near, you feel as though he is walking alone."

Kalifa offered a meaningful smile, causing Tashigi's cheeks to flush red.

This battle.

Vivi's small hands clenched and relaxed, mirroring the changes within her heart.

She understood the cruelty of the sea, yet she also came to know the diversity of the world.

Empress was in a wonderful mood, having vented a foul breath.

Once the news reached Amazon Lily, her sisters would surely be very happy as well.

"Set sail for Impel Down!"

Ye Zhuo shook his wine bottle as a pleasant song rang out, and together they sang Binks' Sake.

After they left.

Stacks of newspapers drifted down to scatter across the earth.

A series of major events from yesterday were consequently made public.

"Marine Hero Garp and Admiral Aokiji joined forces to intercept at Twin Cape, yet both were broken through by Demon King Ye Zhuo, who sailed away in triumph!"

"In the Florian Triangle, Shichibukai Gecko Moria was defeated by the Demon King and has completely vanished!"

To the grand sea, every single sentence was enough to shock the world.

The people of Sabaody Archipelago, however, understood.

Soon enough, the major events that happened here would echo throughout the Grand Line!

The Demon King floated suspended in mid-air.

Drifting past the giant iron gates.

Empress picked up a newspaper and immediately tore it to shreds.

"What is meant by 'broken through'? It was clearly the captain who defeated them! Lord Ye Zhuo, I'm going to go tear that idiot bird Morgans apart!"

It looked as though the World Government had taken action to forcefully suppress the matter.

How could Empress ever allow anyone to doubt Ye Zhuo's strength.

"We will go to the New World, but our top priority right now is Impel Down!"

The Demon King slowly descended.

Before their eyes stood Impel Down, renowned as an unyielding fortress of bronze and iron!
