Shocking! The Celestial Dragons' Tragic Deaths!

"What happened?"

The waves Swain had raised made even the nearest island tremble.

"Look! Was that a seaquake?!"

The people on the island descended into panic.

The Celestial Dragons at the center of the waves had lost all their earlier arrogance.

"How could there possibly be a seaquake here?" he asked in disbelief.

The Sabaody Archipelago was a massive island chain made up of seventy-nine smaller islands.

Each island was a gigantic Mangrove, with all kinds of buildings constructed atop its enormous roots.

Because of its geography, it had not experienced a seaquake in nearly a century.

"No! That pirate caused it!"

Someone sharp-eyed noticed something strange.

The massive waves caused by the seaquake seemed wary of Swain, deliberately avoiding his position.

And wherever Swain pointed, they surged toward it.

It was truly bizarre! If he had not caused it, who had?

Someone aboard the Celestial Dragons' ship finally realized that Swain was responsible.

They immediately opened fire on him.

Yet the bullets passed straight through his chest and head, and he returned to normal the next moment.

A Logia user!

Terror filled their hearts, and the panic on their faces could not be concealed.

Even "gods" feared death.

"My lord, we have already requested aid from Marine Headquarters."

A subordinate reported to the Celestial Dragon aboard the ship.

A slap cracked across the man's face!

"By the time they get here, we'll already be dead!"

"Hurry up and kill that lowborn trash!"

The subordinate did not dare argue. He accepted the order and began firing at Swain.

Seeing the fear on the Celestial Dragon's face, Swain felt immensely satisfied.

But his entertainment had only just begun.

A hundred-meter wave crashed down upon them.

Against an attack like a natural disaster, they had no way to fight back.

Crack, crack!

The ship's keel began to split apart, and in moments, they were thrown into the water.

Some of the bodyguards aboard had their internal organs shattered outright by the pounding waves!

Yet the Celestial Dragons remained alive beneath the onslaught, their bodies drifting with the currents.

"Looks like the clothes they wear saved them."

As Celestial Dragons, the noblest race in the world, their clothing was naturally made from exceptional materials.

It was normal that they had not died!

The people on the island watched as Swain truly attacked the Celestial Dragons.

They would likely remember this scene for the rest of their lives.

"A Marine Admiral will definitely come soon!"

"So what if one comes? Swain is already as strong as an Admiral. Unless two come at once!"

That was the benefit of overwhelming strength. They could neither kill him nor catch him.

Still, it was only wishful thinking. If two Marine Admirals acted together, that was treatment only a Four Emperors force deserved.

Jordi aboard the Neptune swallowed hard.

He felt like he had boarded the wrong pirate ship!

But now, he could only pray that his captain survived the coming pursuit.

Norton smiled knowingly when he saw what Swain had done.

It suited his temperament perfectly!

If you didn't like it, fight!

But.

Swain was far from finished.

He used seawater to lift the two Celestial Dragons high into the air!

The corners of his mouth curled upward as he smiled.

Didn't they like looking down on everyone from above?

Then he would let them stand at the highest point!

The seawater carried them a hundred meters into the air.

Letting everyone see their ugly state!

One of them could no longer endure it. Swain had completely shattered his mental defenses!

"D-Don't... don't kill me!" he said in a trembling voice.

"What are you doing, Saint Haas? How could you lower your head to lowborn trash from the lower world?"

He was furious, believing Saint Haas had disgraced the Celestial Dragons!

But Saint Haas did not have the mind to think about any of that. He still had so many slaves left to enjoy and play with—he could not die here!

He continued begging Swain.

But Swain merely gave him a disgusted look.

Saint Haas was the one who had killed that ship's captain earlier.

Swain looked at the other Celestial Dragon and said, "I'll give you a chance to live. Kneel and beg me for mercy, and you can live."

Then he covered a patch of seawater beneath the man's feet with Armament Haki, making it the size of a floor tile.

This gave him something to kneel on.

"Hmph! Lowborn trash!" he cursed. He ignored the chance Swain had given him. Even if he died, he would never bow to the man before him.

Swain did not get angry at the insult.

He turned to Saint Haas and said, "I'll give you a chance to live."

Saint Haas was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly!

"Kill him! Only then can you live!"

Swain tossed him a gun.

"Saint Haas, don't believe him!"

The other Celestial Dragon said.

But Saint Haas's desire to survive had consumed his heart.

How could he listen? As long as he killed the other man, he could live.

The more the other man tried to persuade him, the steadier Saint Haas's hand became around the gun.

That was the instinct to survive!

A smile hung on Swain's face as he watched Saint Haas perform.

Weren't you a good shot? Didn't you enjoy killing people?

Then I'll let you kill someone!

"Hurry up!" Swain said impatiently.

To Saint Haas, that voice sounded like death calling his name.

He cursed Swain countless times in his heart.

Then he steeled himself!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After three shots, only one struck the other man in the arm.

The other man stared at Saint Haas in disbelief, too shocked to say a word.

Saint Haas was no fool. If he killed one of his own, the God's Knights would surely judge him once he returned!

He was trapped between advancing and retreating, and he had long since regretted provoking such a god of death.

This man truly feared neither heaven nor earth!

Swain had already lost his patience.

Sea Tentacle Kill!

Several long tentacles instantly shot up from the sea a hundred meters below!

Saint Haas sensed the danger.

"N-No..." The words had barely left his mouth.

Squelch, squelch!

Two sounds of flesh being pierced rang out.

The tentacles pierced straight through the backs of their heads, impaling their entire skulls!

Utterly brutal!

Saint Haas's final expression was filled with unwillingness!

Evil people needed evil people to deal with them! Swain was willing to be that evil person!

Other than Swain and the other two.

Everyone else stared in utter shock, their eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.

Someone suddenly shouted, "Run!"

The massive crowd that had come to welcome Saint Haas scattered in every direction.

They truly feared Swain would kill until his eyes turned red.

This scene would be recorded in history!

Because no one had ever dared to publicly slaughter Celestial Dragons!

A bold reporter captured the scene with a camera.

This would become earth-shattering news!

Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep!

A Den Den Mushi rang.

"Hello! This is Marine Headquarters! Sengoku speaking!"

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I have received shocking news."

"Go ahead." Sengoku prepared himself. What storm had he not seen before?

"Two nobles, Saint Richard Haas and Antonio Fox, were brutally killed by the pirate Swain at Grove 1 in the Sabaody Archipelago!"

The news was beyond shocking!

Sengoku immediately rose to his feet!

"What?!"

"Please give orders for the next mission, Fleet Admiral!"

Sengoku sat back down, his thoughts in turmoil!

He could not understand how anyone could be so audacious.

Even among the dozen or so Supernovas who would emerge later, Kid—the one with the highest bounty and the cruelest reputation—would not dare provoke the Celestial Dragons.

Below the Four Emperors, provoking a Celestial Dragon was practically a death sentence!

Yet Swain had become the one to break that rule.

A true lone hero!

"Which Admiral is closest to the Sabaody Archipelago right now?" Sengoku asked the communications officer beside him.

"Reporting, Fleet Admiral! Admiral Akainu! He is currently carrying out a mission, and even at maximum speed, he cannot arrive until the day after tomorrow!"

Hearing that, Sengoku smashed his desk with a single slap.

"Stop his mission!"

"At the same time, in my name, tell him that he must capture Swain tomorrow!" Sengoku said furiously.

When the time came to use someone, there were far too few available!

Could it be that he had to personally go and capture Swain? What would become of the Marines' dignity then?

"Yes!" The communications officer immediately contacted Akainu.
