Attacking the Celestial Dragons

Inside the Human Auction House.

All sorts of wealthy individuals and nobles fiercely bid on various rare items and rare races.

Yet as long as it was an item or slave the Celestial Dragons took a fancy to, absolutely no one dared to seize it.

Even so, the Celestial Dragons were extremely lavish, feeling that low bids were beneath their status.

Therefore, these world nobles offered massive overpayments on every single bid, filling the auction house's coffers and making them beam with delight.

At that moment, Chaton sat on pins and needles beside the Celestial Dragons, feeling thoroughly uncomfortable with this kind of slave auction.

Yet in order not to offend this Celestial Dragon, and likewise to secure a future promotion to admiral candidate and Marine Admiral.

He simply had to obey the will of the Celestial Dragon.

Gion had just called him to say that the Luo Ji Pirates had landed on this island and told him to be careful.

He was not to let the Luo Ji Pirates run into and provoke the Celestial Dragons.

Chaton could only order his subordinates to heighten their vigilance.

At the same time, he very respectfully reported the situation to the steward of the Celestial Dragon, having the CP Agents and guards both inside and outside the auction house maintain their alertness.

Yet the steward of the Celestial Dragon gave these Marines no pleasant expressions and ignored Chaton's warning, leaving Kakei feeling rather awkward and stifled.

Within the Lawless Area.

"Captain Luo Ji, a large force of Marines is charging toward us. We're about to be surrounded!"

Violet reported nervously to Luo Ji, cold sweat beading on her forehead as she found the situation thrilling.

It was even more heart-pounding than lurking deep inside the Donquixote Family.

"There's no Marine Admiral, what is there to fear!"

Luo Ji laughed arrogantly, knowing he had Yamato at home who could handle most Marine vice admirals, and he certainly wasn't weak himself.

"Once the battle starts, fly up into the sky and take control of the vantage point!"

Luo Ji continued to lead the group rushing toward the Human Auction House.

On the other side.

"This is bad! Vice Admiral Gion, the Luo Ji Pirates are charging toward the location of His Excellency the Celestial Dragon. It's unclear whether their target is the Human Auction House or His Excellency!"

After finishing a call, the adjutant reported anxiously to Gion.

"The Celestial Dragons only arrived on Mysteria Island today, and the Luo Ji Pirates just landed as well. They shouldn't know the Celestial Dragons are on the island, so this must be a coincidence.

Their target is likely the Human Auction House!

Quickly notify Vice Admiral Kakei to protect the Celestial Dragon and prepare to surround the Luo Ji Pirates."

Gion thought rapidly, immediately making her decisions and arrangements.

Since this Luo Ji Pirates crew consisted of mere handfuls of people, as long as she stopped Rakshasa Yamato, that fellow Kakei should be able to deal with this rookie Luo Ji.

The two of them, Marine vice admirals who had earned titles, were the elites among elites within Marine Headquarters.

The pair of them currently possessed the strength to contend with the Three Sweet Commanders and All-Stars.

Gion dared to take on Yamato, assuming Chaton failed to handle the five-hundred-million rookie Luo Ji.

Then Chaton would not deserve to stand alongside Gion as the prime candidate for promotion to admiral candidate.

Prompted by the urgent notification from Gion's adjutant, Chaton learned that the Luo Ji Pirates were rushing to the Human Auction House.

Kakei no longer bothered negotiating with the condescending steward of the Celestial Dragon.

Instead, he went straight to report the matter to the Celestial Dragon.

As a result, however, he suffered harsh scolding and humiliation from the Celestial Dragon.

"If pirates come, they come! Do they really dare lay a hand on me, a descendant of the gods?!"

"Aren't you Marines just lackeys who catch pirates?!"

"It just so happens that I want a few powerful pirate slaves, so go help me capture them!"

"Don't get in here and disturb my amusement!"

"Get lost! If you fail to catch the pirates, I'll make sure you never get promoted for the rest of your life!"

Wearing a transparent bubble helmet, Garling Figarland pointed right at Chaton's nose and cursed him out.

The more he looked at this lecherous, aging man, the more displeased he became.

He had heard that Vice Admiral Gion was a great Marine beauty, yet they had sent this old man to protect him instead.

The fact that these Marines dared to seize the slave ships hunting down rare races for him was a matter that wasn't settled yet.

Hearing the insults of the Celestial Dragon, Chaton's face turned alternately pale and livid.

"I will capture these pirates at all costs!"

Yet in the end, Kakei clenched his fists and walked outside.

At that moment, he truly and deeply understood the words spoken by Garp.

As it turned out, becoming an admiral candidate and Marine Admiral genuinely required bearing immense pressure.

Those who failed to pass the 'tests' of the Celestial Dragons would remain stuck in the position of vice admiral for the rest of their lives.

"Captain! It's the elite vice admiral of Marine Headquarters, Chaton!"

Having just arrived near the Human Auction House, Violet instantly recognized the renowned and celebrated vice admiral.

This was a top-tier vice admiral second only to Garp and Tsuru, holding an exclusive Marine title.

"Yamato! Go!!"

Without a single moment of hesitation, Luo Ji unleashed his trump card while summoning scroll after scroll.

"Thunder Bagua!!"

Yamato instantly transformed into hybrid form, wielding a kanabo crackling with blinding black and red lightning as she smashed it toward Chaton.

"I choose you, Charizard!"

"Use Flamethrower!"

Luo Ji tossed out Old Char, launching an attack against the black-suited CP Agents and Holy Land guards.

"Yamata no Orochi, Okuchi no Makami, Onyudo, Nue, Kazenbo, Ancient Monitor Lizard!"

"You guys go too!"

In one breath, Luo Ji summoned his other super-illustration mythical beasts, initiating an attack on everyone present.

Summoning a multitude of mythical beasts with a wave of one's hand—tell me if that wasn't cool!

Komachiyo transformed into the mythical zoan Nue, carrying O-Tama, Violet, and Princess Mansherry as they flew up into the sky.

"Roar!"

Charizard let out an upward roar, shooting a pillar of fire as thick as a house toward the CP Agents and guards at the entrance of the Human Auction House.

"Oh no! Protect His Excellency the Celestial Dragon!"

Chaton was heavily startled by the ferocious Yamato and the numerous giant beasts.

With his eyes flashing red and a grave expression, he dodged Yamato's advanced-conqueror-coated Thunder Bagua.

Boom!!

The terrifying conqueror's shockwave blasted apart a large portion of the Human Auction House, directly exposing the bustling guests inside.

Some of the guests seated further up in the auction rows were even reduced to fine powder and obliterated by Yamato's single conqueror-infused strike.

The terrifying aura and shockwave rattled most of the spectators and guests into unconsciousness, instantly throwing the entire auction venue into total chaos.

"Garling Figarland!!"

Seeing the Celestial Dragon flipped over onto the ground by the blast wave, the Celestial Dragon's steward and Chaton cried out in alarm.

"Observation Haki with future sight? I didn't expect a Marine vice admiral to master this kind of advanced Haki!"

With his fighting spirit soaring, Yamato looked toward the lecherous vice admiral, tapping the ground excitedly with her kanabo.

Accompanied by loud thud, thud, thud sounds, Yamato hammered a large pit beside her, spreading cracks in all directions.

"Who! Who dares attack me! Kill her at once!"

Garling Figarland screamed frantically. At that moment, his transparent bubble helmet shattered, his head covered in blood as the intense pain turned him into a frantic, quacking duck screaming wildly.

Yet when he raised his head, opened his eyes, and beheld the towering monsters, his voice abruptly cut off.

"Steward! Guards! Chaton! Hurry up and drive these monsters away, kill them!"

Garling Figarland shrieked in terror, especially terrified by the raging fires burning outside.
