"Hahaha, it seems it's not just us, even Catherine's people are bidding her farewell!" Luo Chen glanced around, getting a general idea of what was happening, then burst into laughter, saying, "Want to continue? It seems your master is about to stop!"
Then Luo Chen turned his gaze to Samael opposite him. Samael wasn't unscathed; both of them were truly fighting fiercely, giving their all.
However, Samael lived up to his reputation as the third, or perhaps second, of the Seven Deadly Sins, dominating the battle. Compared to Luo Chen, who was covered in wounds and blood and breathing heavily, Samael appeared much more composed. He only had tattered clothes and a few minor wounds, which showed that his strength was still considerable. If the fight continued, Luo Chen would undoubtedly be the one to lose.
"... Hmph~ Fine, I'll spare you for now!!" Samael originally intended to continue the fight, but seeing that Orange wasn't going to pursue him, how could he possibly continue to attack these "servants"? Moreover, there was Catherine, whose strength was still unknown and who had activated her inherited power, watching him intently. So he decided to give up fighting him.
"Hahaha~ Really?? Well, thank you so much, let's go!!" Luo Chen laughed upon hearing Samael's reply, then waved to Phil and the others.
"Let's go!!" Phil and Singh each helped one person up, reminded Catherine, and then followed Luo Chen's footsteps.
"..." Catherine did not immediately take action. She glanced at the location of the clan's territory again, and only followed them after sensing that everyone had left the Holy Land.
"Hey, Boss Samael, is this really a good idea? Just watching them slip away from us without giving them a chance... what if Lucifer comes after us..." Beelzebub and Asmodeus approached, speaking with some concern.
"It's alright, let them go. Continuing to chase them won't end well. Catherine Palace might even be stronger than me in this state. Even if we catch them, what then?! Do you want to capture them at the cost of heavy casualties on your side?" Samael raised his hand to stop him from saying anything more and asked him in return.
"Uh... but if that's the case..." They clearly understood Samael's meaning, but thinking of Lucifer's methods, they couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive.
"Don't worry, Boss Lucifer won't punish us for this. After all, we've done our best, and there's no reason to punish us further. Besides, Saint Orange didn't even chase after them, so why should we interfere?" Samael assured the two of them with great confidence.
"That's good. So what should we do next?!" The two breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask.
"Let's wait until Saint Orange calms down before we see what he thinks!" Samael said softly, glancing at Orange, who was seething with anger and his face was ashen.
The two men turned to look at him and nodded to indicate that they understood.
Wow...
The momentum in Orange was still rising; they didn't seem to have recovered from what had just happened.
"This incident has been quite a rollercoaster ride. Who would have thought that Catherine Palace, which was about to form a marriage alliance with Saint Orange, would abandon its status and leave with those pirates? This is really embarrassing for them, especially for Saint Orange..."
"Heh, who would have thought that a pirate who just emerged from obscurity would commit such Heaven Shaker act? From now on, they'll likely face endless pursuit from the Marine Headquarters, the World Government, and the Celestial Dragons..."
The kings, who were hiding in Pangaea Castle and watching the whole thing through Visual Den Den Mushi, began to converse.
"Fufufufu... Interesting. You guys actually dared to do this. Although we have different stances, I still have to say, well done, Pirate Luo Chen. Daring to offend the Celestial Dragons ' dignity and take Catherine Palace away is something that has never happened in the eight hundred years since the Holy Land was established..."
However, although it may feel good for a moment, you probably won't be laughing afterwards... Fufufufu~~" As a former Celestial Dragons, Doflamingo, who was attending the wedding banquet as the King of Dressrosa, burst into laughter after reading it. His cold and chilling laughter filled the entire conference hall, causing the other kings to turn their heads. However, he seemed to be unaffected and continued to speak to himself.
"Father, what do we do now?! Should we go back?" Vivi, the princess of Nefertari who had renounced her Celestial Dragons identity to represent the lower realms in Alabasta, asked her father, who was standing beside her.
Hearing his daughter Vivi's question, Vivi's father looked up at her expectant gaze, nodded, and replied, "Yes, just tell the people here, and we can leave. There's no point in staying here any longer; we don't want to get involved with that kid..."
After he finished explaining things to his attendants, he led Vivi away, and the other kings followed suit, taking their leave as well.
Beneath the Red Line, on a pirate ship, the membrane has been laid and it is ready to set sail at any moment.
Why haven't Brother Luo Chen and the others come back yet?!
Sister Lulith, how long do you think it will take for them to come back?! Nayako can't wait any longer!!
"I wonder if they encountered any danger this time!!" On the bow of the ship, Nayako, dressed in a red dress, sat sweetly and adorably, swinging her slender, white feet, a hint of worry on her face, and asked Lulith, who was steering the ship.
"Captain Luo Chen and the others are almost here! They've already brought Miss Catherine back, and they're on their way back!" Before Lulith could answer her, Violet was observing the Holy Land's every move with her Glint-Glint Fruit powers, lowered her hand and said to Nayako.
"Really?!" Upon receiving the news that Luo Chen and the others were safe and on their way back, Nayako excitedly jumped down and asked her again to confirm.
"It's true, and..."
"Hmm, they're here..." Violet was about to continue speaking when suddenly, Lulith, who was steering the ship, twitched her delicate and lovely ears, looked up at the sky, and reminded the two of them.
"Uh..." Hearing her words, Nayako and Violet quickly looked up at the sky, where they saw:
"Hey~ Nayako, Lulith, and Violet, we're back~" Luo Chen's voice drifted leisurely from high above, and the three of them immediately beamed with joy, their lips curving into smiles.
"Hahaha, Brother Luo Chen and the others are finally back..." Nayako exclaimed joyfully as she watched Luo Chen and his group gradually appear in the sky.
"Here it comes~~"
"I'm finally back!!"
Lulith and the other woman smiled and said...
Swoosh...
clatter!!
clatter!!
clatter!!
clatter!!
The next second, the group landed smoothly on the deck using Geppo.
"Brother Luo Chen..." Seeing Luo Chen land first, Nayako rushed over and threw herself into Luo Chen's arms.
"Thank goodness, you're all safe and sound!!" Nayako murmured in his arms.
"Hehe, don't worry, we're all back safe and sound, no need to worry anymore!!" Luo Chen patted her head to comfort her.
"Mmm!!" Nayako nodded heavily in his arms.
"Alright, we can catch up later. If you want to get the ship moving, we need to leave immediately!"
"Alright!!" Phil and Singh put George and Monbuma down and immediately began working with Lulith and Violet to carry out their respective tasks, piloting the Isel slowly into the sea and heading towards Fish-Man Island.
