Pirate Loyalty / Negotiations Fail? Executing the Celestial Dragons

"Dragon God Strike."

Sigma's body swelled, instantly becoming over ten meters tall. He flicked his dragon tail, Tokikake Gaji flying.

At the same time.

A cube-shaped space, outlined by white light, surrounded Charlos and Rando, sealing them inside.

The next instant, the two of them vanished from the spot.

"Mission accomplished, retreat."

Big Eyes floated in mid-air and quickly conveyed a message to Ace.

Ace: "???"

That's it?!

Chapter 184 Pirate Loyalty

From the moment they took action to the moment they arrested the person, it took only a little over a second.

Ace was completely stunned. As expected of a notorious criminal organization, the news he read in the newspapers was completely different from the experience of actually participating in the operation.

"Saint Rando, Saint Charlos!"

The bodyguards in suits paled and shouted urgently, "Tokikake Vice Admiral, leave them here, or we're all dead!"

Tokikake was sent flying by Sigma's sweeping attack, traveling hundreds of meters before crashing straight into the trunk of the Yarukiman Mangrove in the distance.

He lay sprawled on the tree trunk, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

"... Damn it, they're executives of the Seven Deadly Sins!"

Caught off guard, he didn't have time to use Armament Haki and took the hit of Sigma's attack head-on, breaking two of his ribs.

Tokikake slid down from the tree, he suddenly burst into high speed the moment he hit the ground.

At the same time, advanced Observation Haki Future Sight.

"Oh no, they're trying to escape? Teleportation!?"

Jiaji's expression changed drastically, Tokikake he unleashed his full Haki without reservation. His entire body seemed to flash like a golden light as he returned to the street from hundreds of meters away.

Ace looked surprised. "The difference in strength between Admiral Candidate and Vice Admiral is too great."

"Let's leave. There's no need to waste time with him."

Big Eyes activated his ability, releasing a ray of white light from his eyes that quickly outlined a cubic space around the group.

The next instant, the three of them vanished from the spot.

The instant they disappeared, Tokikake finally arrived. He unleashed a punch imbued with Armament Haki, but the punch missed its mark. The Storyboard Space shattered like a mirror, scattering into countless specks of dust.

"Damn it, it's the Seven Deadly Sins's Big Eye, the Instant Transmission of the Storyboard Fruit!"

Kaji's expression Tokikake grave. This was troublesome. The Celestial Dragons had been captured under his protection, and he would likely face accountability from the World Government.

The bodyguards in suits were completely devastated. Their faces filled with despair, their knees buckled, and they knelt down with a thud.

"It's over, it's all over, we're doomed!"

"The World Government will not let us go, the Shepherd Family, the Rosward Family...!"

"I have a family, I have a newborn daughter, no, I have to run!"

Staying meant certain death, so the bodyguards immediately got up to try and escape, the farther the better. If they could escape to a non- World Government Affiliated Nation, they might still have a chance to survive.

"Calm down, you bunch of idiots."

Tokikake a deep breath, quickly retrieved the Den Den Mushi, and reported the situation to his superiors.

"Celestial Dragons all have chips implanted in their bodies. To remove them without endangering their lives, specialized equipment is required..."

The Seven Deadly Sins kidnapped the Celestial Dragons, so their purpose was definitely not to kill them. Therefore, the two Celestial Dragons are not in immediate danger.

Furthermore, they have chips implanted in their bodies, so their whereabouts can be tracked immediately by contacting the World Government.

As Tokikake the World Government, the passersby kneeling along the street were completely stunned by the sudden scene unfolding before their eyes.

After a brief moment of shock, many people belatedly realized what was happening and fled the area in a frenzy.

"Run! Run! Just seeing something like this might get you angry!"

Area No. 14.

A ray of white light outlined the cubic space, and the three Big Eye people appeared together.

Ace felt a wave of dizziness, and when he came to his senses, he was back under the tree where he had met Big Eyes before.

"Instant teleportation... what a convenient ability."

He muttered to himself, and then realized that the two Celestial Dragons who had been teleported away earlier were now right in front of him, trapped in a cube-shaped space.

Compared to Charlos's face full of anger and panic, Rando remained relatively calm.

He opened his mouth and said something loudly, but the sound couldn't penetrate the screen's barrier.

"You continue to maintain the blockade. The Celestial Dragons have chips inside them. Once the blockade is lifted, the World Government will probably be able to pinpoint our location immediately," Sigma said, flicking his dragon tail.

"I see."

Big Eye at Ace, "Our mission is complete. You should hide too; Admiral will be appearing on this island soon."

Having said that, he was about to activate the teleportation magic circle to return to the Wave-Breaking Warrior.

Ace was very bold and showed no nervousness whatsoever. Instead, he asked curiously:

What do you want with the Celestial Dragons?

"Demand ransom from the World Government."

A flash of golden light, and Big Eyes, Sigma, and the two Celestial Dragons vanished from Ace's sight.

"Randomization? Is it Devil Fruit?"

Ace stroked his chin thoughtfully, combining what he had read in the past with his guesses that the Seven Deadly Sins were after the Devil Fruits.

What an incredibly audacious and ruthless bunch!

"No, I need to find somewhere to hide. The Admiral will be coming to this island soon. I need to meet up with Deuce first!"

As for coating the ship, there's no time to deal with that right now.

Area 11.

Momousagi collapsed to the ground, completely incapacitated.

Dimon walked over to her, bent down and picked up the fallen Famous Sword, Konpira. Not content with just the sword, he also took the scabbard from Momousagi's waist.

"You..."

Momousagi gritted her teeth and glared at Dimon, forced to let him take away her father's belongings.

"Someone as strong as you, don't you feel ashamed to do something like this?"

Aren't you the one who's shameful?

"..."

Momousagi was speechless for a moment. She never imagined that one day she would be targeted because of a knife.

The ridiculously young man before me definitely possesses the strength of Four Emperors of the Sea)!

Such a powerful person came and tried to steal her knife; she had no recourse.

Goodbye, Miss Gion.

"Aren't you going to kill me? What's your name?"

What will a swordsman do next after losing his sword?

Dimon countered with a question, then joked, "Going to find a new, handy weapon, huh? I think we'll meet again."

After saying that, Dimon turned and left.

Momousagi stared intently at his retreating figure, wanting to memorize his image forever.

The reason for not killing her is so he can steal her weapon again next time? How can there be such a despicable person in the world... Momousagi's chest heaved with anger.

On the other side.

The information conveyed by Ain echoed in Dimon's mind.

[Master, two Celestial Dragons have been captured, and the remaining Celestial Dragons is under Mammon's protection. Should we continue the pursuit?]

"Let's forget about Mammon."

After careful consideration, Dimon decided to give up on trying to catch a third person, as the two he had caught were already enough to serve as bargaining chips.

After Mammon, there is still the struggle for the position of Admiral, so it is not appropriate for him to leave behind a stain that could lead to his downfall.

[Clear.]

[There's one more thing, about Ace...]

Next, Ain quickly reported on Ace's involvement in the capture operation.

After listening, Dimon was at a loss for words, unsure where to begin his critique.

Ace is truly fearless, daring to get involved with the Seven Deadly Sins and even participating in the operation to capture the Celestial Dragons...

The reason was simply because of friends.

They hadn't known each other for very long and were just ordinary friends, yet they dared to interfere so casually.

Pirate loyalty?

Chapter 185 Negotiations Failed? Execution of the Celestial Dragons

The Wave-Breaking Warrior, crew rest area.

"Master's order: Immediately contact the World Government and demand a ransom."

Ain's voice echoed above everyone's heads.

Samael was very enthusiastic, chuckling strangely.

"Leave it to me, I know this stuff!"

He was the one who made the contact when they tried to extort Big Mom last time, and this time he's already figured out how to ask the World Government for ransom.

However, before that, you'll need to know the contact number.

"Where are those two Celestial Dragons?"

"On deck," Big Eyes replied.

Samael transformed into a wisp of flame and shot out in a flash.

On the deck, two Celestial Dragons were imprisoned in Storyboard Space. Faced with an unfamiliar environment and a ship that resembled the Seven Deadly Sins, even Rando felt fear.

When Samael appeared, he hurriedly spoke:

"Don't kill me! Just tell me what you want!"

I am a member of the Shepherd Family. You may not know this, but the highest authority in our family is Shepard X. Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, one of the Five Elders!

The Five Elders?

Samael's eyes lit up. "You're the son of the Five Elders?"

Rando shook his head.

"Grandson?"

Rando hesitated for a moment, then shook his head again.
