A Brazen Slap in the Face Before the World
"That damn Thunder God wants to leave us all here, that madman!"
The overwhelming lightning turned most of the people into corpses, while some powerful pirates resisted. However, with each strike of lightning, the destructive power began to rise, and slowly, they could no longer withstand it.
"Is this the notorious pirate with a bounty of 930 million?"
Many of those who were struggling to survive looked terrified. They had no idea why the Sacred Pirates would take action and, without any explanation, try to capture them all.
"Let's all break out of here together, or it will be too late when the Marine Admiral!"
"Kill them!"
At the very front row, thunder was raging, but two people were completely unaffected by the lightning.
As for the remaining two Celestial Dragons, they were directly engulfed by the lightning and turned into ashes.
The guards were easily defeated. Clearly, these Celestial Dragons were extremely bold. Even after leaving the Holy Land, they did not bring any powerful subordinates, because in their eyes, no one in this world dared to touch them.
"You've finally arrived!"
Wearing a slave collar around his neck, Lu looked at Bai Doudou with an indifferent and cold expression throughout.
"I'm sorry, you've been in the Holy Land for the past six months, it hasn't been good for us."
Bai Doudou felt a little apologetic. Although they had never actually met in person, they had spoken on the phone several times, so they could recognize each other by their voices.
"That's why I've been waiting for this opportunity!"
It didn't matter. Lu looked coldly at the four Celestial Dragons bodies. From the moment he became a slave, he had been waiting, waiting for these four foolish guys to take him out of the Holy Land. This would give Bai Doudou and the others a chance, and also give himself a chance.
"So confident? What if we don't come?"
Bai Doudou's eyes darted around as she teased Lu's confidence.
"If you don't come, then I'll just consider myself blind to have followed the wrong person, that's all!"
He showed no expression, and the road was perfectly straight.
"Whether you're blind or not, you'll see in the Future."
A footstep sounded, lightning parted, and Ye Chen walked over.
"I've seen it now, and it seems my choice back then was right!"
With deep lines at the corners of his mouth, Lu looked at Ye Chen, and for the first time, he showed an expression.
Ye Chen stared directly at the slave collar around Lu's neck. The next moment, with a loud explosion, Lu moved his neck and felt much better.
"These damned Celestial Dragons, I'll kill them all on sight from now on!"
There will be an opportunity!
"Brubrubru"
In Sengoku's office at Marineford, a sudden, urgent Den Den Mushi interrupted the entire meeting.
Sengoku, who was talking, frowned and answered the Den Den Mushi.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, breaking news! The Celestial Dragons who were traveling in the Sabaody Archipelago were attacked by Thunder God Enel and the Rogue Rabbit, and they have all been killed."
The sound of a pin drop from the Den Den Mushi made everyone look up.
"What?"
His face was grim; Sengoku could hardly believe what he was hearing.
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku"
The repeated Den Den Mushi forced Sengoku to believe it. However, the person communicating had overlooked an important person, or perhaps no one expected that the Emperor, imprisoned in Impel Down, would suddenly appear.
Because Ye Chen remained in position throughout, only Enel made the move, and the information transmitted from the auction house only showed news about Enel and Bai Doudou.
This one mistake was destined to be a huge surprise, so huge that it would set the whole world in chaos.
The world order has changed.
"Hey! Hey! This is not good news."
Below, Kizaru, wearing sunglasses, had a somewhat solemn expression, clearly wary of something.
"He actually attacked Celestial Dragons? Doesn't he know the Navy will send Admiral?"
"Those members of the Sacred Pirates are all incredibly audacious. It's no wonder they did something like this. Now they should be thinking about how to clean up the mess. The Holy Land has probably heard about it by now."
As if on cue, another exquisite Den Den Mushi) in the Sengoku Office rang urgently.
"Hello!"
"Sengoku, Ma, send out your Admiral! We must capture Thunder God Enel, and that Rogue Rabbit! This matter cannot be lost!"
Filled with roars, the authoritative voice inside the Den Den Mushi brooked no refusal.
"Yes!" Sengoku hung up the Den Den Mushi and turned his gaze to the conference room.
"Looks like he's furious!" Crane narrowed his eyes.
"Borsalino, Kuzan, you two go there! And while you're at it, clean up the Sabaody Archipelago." Sengoku paused for a moment, then looked at Kizaru and Aokiji.
"What a nuisance! Hey, wake up!"
"Whatever, "Kizaru stood up and nudged Kuzan, who was dozing off next to him, his hat covered.
"What? The meeting's over? Then I'm going back!"
Waking up, Kuzan scratched his head, yawned, and put his hat back on.
Everyone in the conference room was speechless.
"Idiot, we have a mission." Kizaru twitched his lips as well.
"What mission?" Kuzan, somewhat bewildered.
"I don't want to see either of you right now." Sengoku waved his hand impatiently, clearly in a bad mood.
Shrugging, Kizaru and Aokiji walked straight out of the conference room.
"Something feels off!" Watching Aokiji and Kizaru's departing figures, Tsuru rubbed her forehead, feeling for some reason that this matter was not simple.
"Is something wrong?" Many naval personnel, including Sengoku, didn't think anything of it.
To ordinary people, Celestial Dragons may be inviolable gods, but they know that in the face of powerful people, Celestial Dragons are still ants that can be crushed at will.
Of course, these people wouldn't dare to provoke the World Government unless absolutely necessary.
"I'm not coming, but something just feels off!"
He shook his head, his brows furrowed tightly.
"Perhaps you're overthinking it."
"Maybe!"
Meanwhile, in the New World, in the Dressrosa Kingdom, in the palace, a man in a red suit was sitting by the window, drinking red wine with his feet propped up on the table, looking quite relaxed.
However, the silence was broken by the urgent sound of a Den Den Mushi a type of electric scoop).
"Lord Jker, something terrible has happened! Thunder God Enel, the Thunder Sacred Pirates, has destroyed our auction house and killed all the auctioneers inside! And there's more!"
Upon hearing this news, Doflamingo's previously calm expression suddenly turned ugly.
"What else!"
"Four Celestial Dragons." A panicked, trembling voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi.
With a "bang," the wine glass shattered, spilling its vibrant, rich red wine all over the floor.
"Fufufufu Sacred Pirates!"
Veins began to bulge on his forehead, and a chill ran through Doflamingo's eyes.
Not only did he kill numerous auctioneers in his auction house, but he also audaciously killed four Celestial Dragons at once.
Are you crazy? Those are Celestial Dragons, not pirates.
Most importantly, this happened on their own turf, clearly showing that they didn't take Doflamingo seriously.
This is a blatant slap in the face.
Those who can attend the auction are either extremely wealthy or powerful. It only takes a little inquiry to find out that the auction house belongs to them. With so many people involved in this incident on their turf, how can they maintain their reputation if they don't step in?
Moreover, it was in front of the whole world that they were slapping themselves in the face.
"The Sacred Pirates, humph!"
A cold snort rang out, accompanied by Doflamingo's vanished figure.
