Under the watchful eyes of ten heavily armored divine guards, a group of doctors in white coats slowly entered a magnificent palace, where every brick and tile exuded an aura of authority and solemnity.
The moment they stepped into the palace, almost all the doctors held their breath, then lowered their eyes, not daring to look straight ahead, for fear of seeing something they shouldn't see.
As the Celestial Dragons' personal physicians, they were all too aware of the Celestial Dragons' brutality, cruelty, and unpredictable temper.
Especially the owner of this palace.
Saint Charlos.
Death, sometimes, is simply the sight of something one shouldn't have seen.
For example, the women who were abducted by the Celestial Dragons.
With this in mind, almost every doctor tiptoed, carefully stepping on the pure white jade stones as they moved forward.
It was utterly obsequious.
"Don't be nervous."
"You're not treating the Celestial Dragons today."
So, relax a little.
At this moment.
Inside the bedchamber, a woman's voice came from the bed in front of her.
Her words seemed to have a calming power, allowing all the doctors, who were on edge and feeling like they were carrying a heavy burden, to breathe a sigh of relief.
Because all doctors know this.
The woman on the bed, who had been abducted by the Celestial Dragons, was so kind.
"Please forgive my rudeness."
"Ms. Ginny."
One of the oldest doctors quickened his pace and came to the bedside. He first reached out and parted the bed curtains, and then saw a short-haired woman holding a baby.
He didn't dare look at Ginny's face, but instead quickly glanced at Ginny's exposed neck, arms, and calves.
It would have been better not to look, because once you do, your pupils constrict.
He discovered that Ginny's skin on her arms, neck, and other areas had turned blue, and in some places, scale-like substances had even grown.
"Sapphire Scales!"
Upon witnessing this scene, three words came to mind.
"Feel sorry."
"Ms. Ginny."
"This is a Sapphire Scale, and there is no cure for it."
The doctor looked apologetic.
If a Celestial Dragon obtains the Sapphire Scale, regardless of outward appearances, he will undoubtedly be overjoyed inside.
Because there is no cure for the Sapphire Scale.
Even the Celestial Dragons, who claim to be descendants of the Creator, face certain death once they fall ill.
Unfortunately, the one who fell ill was not a Celestial Dragon, but a poor woman who had been abducted by the Celestial Dragons.
Upon hearing the name Sapphire Scale Disease, the other doctors abandoned their plans to help Ginny with her diagnosis.
As the first doctor said, this disease is incurable.
"It doesn't matter."
"Only Bonney."
"It's good that she's alright."
Upon hearing this, Ginny was silent for a moment before shaking her head.
She felt little fear of death, only regret and worry.
The regret is that he will never see Bartholomew Kuma again in this lifetime, and the worry is that once he dies, Bonney's fate will be uncertain.
Although she hadn't been in Mary Geoise for very long, Ginny knew all too well the cruelty of Charlos's.
While Bonney is indeed his biological daughter by blood, that's not necessarily true in Saint Charlos's eyes.
Whether male or female, Celestial Dragons acquire many spouses through various means, such as plunder and force. However, the only offspring truly considered by Celestial Dragons are the children born from unions between fellow Celestial Dragons.
Ordinary women like Ginny, who were forcibly taken advantage of, were merely playthings.
Even if they have offspring, they still do not have the status of a world noble.
"She's fine."
"At least, there are no signs of illness at present."
The doctor quickly examined the baby in Ginny's arms, noticing that there was no blue mark on the baby's skin, nor any scale-like substance. After conducting various thorough examinations and diagnoses, he finally spoke.
"That's good."
Upon hearing this, Ginny felt much more at ease.
However,
Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
Clang
The divine guards standing at the entrance to the palace knelt down in unison, their knee armor striking the ground with a metallic clang.
"Saint Charlos!"
The doctors present turned around and saw a gloomy man wearing a white robe and a bubble-like headdress striding into the bedroom.
Without hesitation.
As if they had rehearsed countless times, everyone except Ginny knelt on the ground.
The kind that involves prostrating oneself in reverence.
"What illness?"
Charlos glanced at Ginny, and when his gaze swept over Ginny's blue skin and scaly substance, his face was filled with undisguised disgust.
Ginny.
To him, it was nothing more than a commodity.
And there are countless kinds.
Unless the other party is also a Celestial Dragon, he wouldn't care about a woman like Ginny who was plundered from outside the Holy Land.
If the other party didn't still hold the title of commander of the Revolutionary Army's Eastern Army and wasn't a slave who escaped from God Valley back then, they would have either been bored and thrown away long ago, or tortured to death.
There's no way they'd send a doctor to treat Ginny.
"Sapphire Scales".
The doctor who just examined Ginny knelt on the ground and said without turning his head.
"Is it contagious?"
This was the matter that Saint Charlos was most concerned about.
This is why he had a doctor treat Ginny; otherwise, a slave, even if she became one of the Celestial Dragons' spouses, wouldn't receive such treatment.
Because while it sounds nice to say she's the spouse of a Celestial Dragon, in reality she's just a slave to one.
"Won't."
The doctor sensed the murderous intent in Charlos's voice and quickly replied.
Can it be cured?
The gloom on Saint Charlos's face lessened, and his mood improved considerably.
If Ginny's sapphire scales were contagious, and especially if they were contagious to him, he would torture Ginny, along with Bonney, who was in her arms and carried his blood, to death.
"There is no cure."
The doctor paused for a second, but still answered honestly.
He knew that his answer would determine Ginny's, and even Bonney's, fate, but he dared not lie.
Deceiving the Celestial Dragons.
The consequence was the same as the extermination of nine generations of their family.
Moreover, Mary Geoise has assembled a group of highly skilled doctors, so even if I wanted to hide it, I couldn't.
Is it hereditary?
Charlos glanced at the baby girl in Ginny's arms out of the corner of his eye.
"It cannot be said that it will definitely be hereditary."
"However, if either parent has Sapphire Scales, their offspring have a much higher probability of having Sapphire Scales than the average person."
The doctor opened his mouth, but ultimately chose to tell the truth.
"Yeah?"
Upon hearing this, Charlos not only looked at Ginny, but also at Bonney, his eyes revealing undisguised disgust, which gradually turned into murderous intent.
A slave who is beyond cure and will gradually become ugly, covered in scales.
A daughter who carries the noble blood of a Celestial Dragon, yet may also suffer from Sapphire Scales.
If this gets out in Mary Geoise, he will surely become a laughing stock among the other Celestial Dragons.
even.
Female Celestial Dragons will not marry themselves.
Male Celestial Dragons will ridicule and mock you in every way.
This is the circle of the Celestial Dragons.
Seemingly sensing Charlos's murderous intent, both the guards and the doctors knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe.
They all knew that Charlos's wickedness and cruelty were among the worst even within the Celestial Dragons' circle.
Every year, countless slaves and guards die at the hands of the enemy.
In Mary Geoise, among all non-Celestial Dragon races, the only one that can be regarded as human by the Celestial Dragons is CP0, which is known as the strongest shield of the Celestial Dragons.
As for the others, whether they are slaves or subordinates depends entirely on the Celestial Dragons' whims.
"Throw it out."
Saint Charlos suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the palace.
"yes!"
The two divine guards kneeling at the door immediately stood up, but before they could take more than a few steps, they were stunned by Saint Charlos's words.
"Throw it into the sea."
These words were spoken.
The doctor and the guards were all frozen in place.
They certainly understood what Saint Charlos meant by throwing her into the sea. It didn't mean bringing Ginny from Mary Geoise to the foot of the Red Line, preparing a ship, and then throwing her into it to fend for herself. Instead, it meant throwing her directly from the towering Red Line peaks, thousands of meters above the clouds, into the Grand Line, thousands of meters below.
Although the ocean lies beneath the red earth, from the top of the red earth, at that height, the ocean and the concrete ground are indistinguishable.
Do I need to say it again?
"Or do you want to be thrown into the sea with us?"
As soon as Saint Charlos said this, the guards immediately came to their senses and rushed to Ginny, intending to forcibly drag her away.
"Do not touch me."
"I can walk by myself."
Ginny won two of the God's Guards, and then placed Bonney on the bed.
If she could, she really didn't want to leave Bonney in Mary Geoise. Putting aside the possibility of her picking up the Celestial Dragons' bad habits, just the fact that Charlos disliked her would inevitably lead to Bonney taking her anger out on her, thus jeopardizing Bonney's future.
But if Bonney is taken away, then she will be thrown into the sea by Charlos's orders, just like him.
It was a near-death experience.
"Take her with you."
"Throw it into the sea."
Charlos spoke again.
Ginny's expression changed drastically.
The doctors present felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave.
Even the guards were terrified.
The Grand Line, where a newborn baby, who is also his own woman, is thrown from the top of the red earth to a depth of 10,000 meters.
Charlos's cruelty once again shattered their understanding of the world.
Bonney is not sick.
Ginny roared.
"Throw both of them into the sea, so as not to defile the sacred site."
Saint Charlos stared intently at the enraged Ginny. Normally, he would have been furious after being yelled at, but now he grinned with a sinister smile and said, word by word.
Ginny clenched her fists tightly, her chest heaving violently, as if she was about to explode, but when she thought of Mary Geoise and Bonney on the bed, she slumped and loosened her fists.
The guards immediately stepped forward, and four of them escorted Ginny away. One of them picked up Bonney and led the mother and daughter out of the palace.
"Rubbish."
"They have actually tainted the bloodline of the descendants of the Creator."
"An inferior race is an inferior race."
Saint Charlos coldly watched Ginny and her daughter leave, as if they weren't his wife and daughter who had been thrown into the sea.
In his eyes, Ginny and her daughter were a disgrace to him.
When he learned that Ginny's skin had turned blue, he was terrified, thinking it was some kind of infectious disease.
Even Bonney came to hate him.
Now that he knows it's Sapphire Scales and that Bonney has a high probability of being sick, Saint Charlos only wants to grind the mother and daughter to dust.
My mother is sick, that's one thing.
Bonney, who has the noble blood of the Celestial Dragons, also has a very high probability of contracting the Sapphire Scales.
In his view, this was an utter disgrace.
Escorted by two rows of guards, Ginny and her mother left the ancestral lands of Charlos and Mary Geoise, and were taken all the way to the edge of the Red Earth.
I'm sorry.
"Ms. Ginny."
"We are just guards."
The guard who had been holding Bonney carefully returned the baby to Ginny.
Since Ginny was captured in Mary Geoise and forced to marry Saint Charlos, they have all received a lot of care from her.
so.
When they escorted Ginny and her daughter in front of Saint Charlos, their actions seemed extremely rough, but in reality, they were very careful. Otherwise, Bonney, who was still an infant, would have been woken up and started crying loudly, instead of being sent out of Mary Geoise and still asleep.
"This is the only thing we can do for you."
Another guard also released his grip on Ginny's hands.
"Sorry."
"But please take Bonney with you."
"Jump from here."
One of the guards turned his head away; even though his face was covered by a helmet, he still dared not face Ginny.
No need to apologize.
"It's okay."
"I used to be a slave of the Celestial Dragons, and I know their ugliness very well. You all just want to live."
Ginny picked up Bonney and smiled at the guards present, as if they were not the villains who forced her to jump off the Red Line, but people who shared her suffering.
"Thank you for taking care of me and Bonney during this time."
"After I'm gone, you all need to be careful."
"If it's possible to transfer, it would be best to find a way to transfer to another Celestial Dragon's command."
Ginny's caring words caused all the divine guards to turn their heads away, not daring to look her in the eye.
"After all, even among the Celestial Dragons, Charlos is far too violent."
After saying that,
She hugged Bonney tightly and walked step by step to the edge of the Red Earth Peak, looking down at the Grand Line, which was somewhat blurred by the clouds and mist.
"Wow!"
It seems they've noticed something.
Bonney, who had been sleeping, suddenly opened her eyes and burst into tears.
Upon hearing the baby's cry, the divine guards present did not turn their heads to the side, but instead lowered their heads and turned away, each with their backs to Ginny and her daughter.
They were afraid that if they continued watching, they would soften their hearts and let Ginny and her daughter go.
If they could, they would all want Ginny and her daughter to leave alive, but they didn't dare.
Because if they did that, not only would they, as guards, become slaves of the Celestial Dragons, but their families would also be enslaved.
"It's okay."
"Don't feel guilty."
"There's no need to blame yourself."
Ginny held Bonney, gently rocking her while reassuring the guards behind her:
"Sweetie, Bonney."
"It's fine."
"Mom is here."
He seemed to realize that if he lingered any longer, it would only make the guards present feel more uncomfortable.
After calming Bonney down and stopping her wailing, Ginny suddenly leaped off the top of the red clay, then turned in mid-air so that her back was facing the sea thousands of meters below. She then clasped her hands together and hugged Bonney in her arms.
Immediately afterwards.
She unleashed her maximum level of Haki in one breath, but instead of using it to harden her own body, she wrapped it around Bonney in her arms, leaving all hope of survival to her daughter.
"I'm so sorry."
"Bonney."
"You were brought into this world in this way, and then you experienced all of this."
Ginny let her body be pulled by gravity, like a meteorite falling straight down the Grand Line thousands of meters below.
Her gaze remained fixed on Bonney the entire time.
In her final moments, as her life was drawing to a close, all she wanted was to see Bonney a few more times and then etch that face into her very soul.
"We must survive."
"Bonney!"
