Chapter 103: Auction House Panic! Celestial Dragon Cut Down with One Sword
"Cough cough.. ladies and gentlemen of nobility!"
"Please don't be affected by this little interlude!"
"The auction is our main event!"
"After the auction ends, I will arrange for people to investigate."
Human Auction House host, Disco, saw the nobles' attention being diverted.
He quickly spoke up to pull it back.
Seeing the arrival of the Celestial Dragons, Disco understood this was a good opportunity to make a fortune.
So he quickly pushed out today's rare commodity—the mermaid Camie!
Sure enough, as soon as the mermaid appeared, everyone's attention was immediately drawn back!
"Wow, it's a mermaid! Haven't seen a mermaid in a long time!"
"I want to see who runs faster, a mermaid or a whale shark!"
"Father! I want to buy! I want to buy!"
Sure enough, upon seeing the beautiful mermaid, Saint Charlos danced with joy.
The big snot on his nose swung back and forth, looking very comical.
Host Disco didn't dare to delay and quickly announced the start of the auction.
"Good! We have 200 million Berries!"
"We must buy back Camie!"
The navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates, Nami, held the auction paddle.
Full of ambition!
But before Nami could be smug for long.
Next, sitting in the front row, Saint Charlos couldn't even be bothered to raise his paddle.
He stretched out his big hand and spread his five fingers.
"500 million Berries!"
Instantly, no one in the venue dared to speak!
All were stunned!
As expected of a Celestial Dragon!
500 million Berries with just one word!
Truly enviable!
After all, there were large sums of Heavenly Tribute for them to spend every year.
500 million Berries was just pocket change for a Celestial Dragon.
At this moment, the Straw Hat Pirates were also stunned!
500 million Berries!
It might just be a few coins in a Celestial Dragon's pocket.
But for the Straw Hat Pirates, it was an astronomical figure!
They couldn't afford it at all!
"What to do? What should we do?"
The entire Straw Hat Pirates panicked.
Just then.
Boom!
The roof of the auction house.
A Flying Fish Rider motorcycle broke through the roof and fell into the center of the venue!
Immediately after, a 17-year-old boy wearing a straw hat, a blue vest, and shorts stood up!
It was one of the supernovas, the Straw Hat Boy with a bounty of 300 million Berries—Luffy!
Beside him stood a man with green hair, wearing a haramaki, and carrying three swords at his waist!
Impressively, also a supernova, the Pirate Hunter Zoro with a bounty of 120 million Berries!
"Where's Camie! Where is Camie?"
Luffy started looking around as soon as he rushed into the auction house.
Soon he discovered the mermaid Camie in the center of the auction house!
"Found you! Camie!"
Luffy didn't care so much and rushed directly towards Camie!
"Wait, Luffy, don't be reckless!"
Seeing this, the octopus fish-man Hatchan hurried forward to stop him!
In the chaos, Hatchan revealed his fish-man face!
"A fish-man! A fish-man appeared on land!"
"So disgusting! Actually has so many hands!"
"I heard they have infectious diseases, stay away!"
"Monster thing! Go back to Fish-Man Island, don't come to human islands!"
The nobles avoided him like the plague!
"Oh? A fish-man?"
Hearing the voice from behind.
Saint Charlos immediately turned his head and discovered Hatchan!
"It's a fish-man!"
Saint Charlos, like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman, immediately raised the diamond-studded pistol in his hand.
Cocked, aimed, and pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The gunshot rang out, and Hatchan immediately fell into a pool of blood!
"Hachi!"
Luffy was also stunned!
Didn't expect Hachi to be shot down, and hurried forward to check his wound.
"Father! I caught a mermaid! I caught a mermaid!"
"It's free! Didn't cost money!"
"I'm very capable, right!"
"Free octopus! Free octopus!"
Saint Charlos was jubilant at this time, the fat on his face also jiggled.
"Shot directly!"
"World Noble Celestial Dragon!"
"So lucky! This way we won't get infected."
"Great, the octopus is finally going to die!"
This scene also made the surrounding nobles breathe a sigh of relief.
Kid and Law had expressions of watching a show.
After all, they had heard the rumors about Straw Hat Luffy.
This guy was a complete madman.
Wonder what Straw Hat would do in this situation?
The two were very curious.
But soon, they knew the answer.
Luffy stood up, full of anger!
Staring fixedly at Saint Charlos.
"Luffy... don't! Definitely don't!"
"Before... before coming... we promised."
"Don't... don't attack a Celestial Dragon!"
Below, Hachi was still holding Luffy tightly, afraid he would do something terrible.
But Hachi couldn't hold Luffy at all.
"Hmm? You lowly commoner, what do you want to do?"
Saint Charlos was also stunned upon seeing Luffy's action, then said unhappily.
A lowly commoner actually dared to look at him directly?
This was a challenge to the authority of the Celestial Dragons!
Saint Charlos raised his gun and aimed it at Luffy!
Bang!
A shot was fired, but Luffy dodged it with ease!
"Hmm?"
Charlos was stunned, then fired a second shot, which was also dodged!
At this time, Luffy rushed towards Saint Charlos full of anger, raising his fist!
Meanwhile.
Under the auction house.
"Finally awake, looks like I'm not dead yet."
Rono woke up, feeling a bit sore all over.
Moving around a little, it felt better.
Carefully recalling the last scene of the Battle of God Valley.
The last blow in God Valley, he exhausted all his strength and Haki to swing a strike.
Then he was pulled into some space by a powerful attractive force.
It seemed to be in the turbulence of space-time.
Then he slept for a while, recovered some stamina, and was able to escape from the space-time turbulence.
Just don't know where he was now.
Then Rono looked around, a piece of darkness.
With a thought, he activated the ability of the Flame-Flame Fruit, illuminating the surroundings.
"Hmm? Did I fall underground?"
After seeing his surroundings clearly, Rono reacted.
For Rono.
The Battle of God Valley felt like it happened yesterday.
"Wonder what timeline I've crossed into now!"
"Is Roger dead! Was Whitebeard killed by the Marines!"
"Are the members of the Rocks Pirates okay?"
"Have to go see quickly!"
With this thought, Rono stood up.
At this moment, chirping sounds came from the opening above.
"Someone above? Then I just have to go up."
Rono's Observation Haki sensed many auras above.
Hmm~ All weak and pitiful auras, no danger.
Drew the Shodai Kitetsu!
Boom!
A sword swung out!
A huge sword energy directly penetrated from underground to the ground!
Opening up a path from underground to the surface.
At the same time, that sword energy rushed to the ground.
Just before Luffy's punch swung out, it happened to cut Saint Charlos in half at the waist!!
Blood scattered around like mist!
Immediately, Saint Charlos' body split into upper and lower halves, falling heavily to the ground!
"What's the situation??!"
"What happened?"
"Was that sword energy just now?!"
"Saint Charlos! Seems to be hacked to death!"
Looking at this huge commotion that suddenly appeared from underground!
Everyone was instantly stunned!
Looking at Saint Charlos' corpse on the ground?
A Celestial Dragon... died?
PS: Three chapters served.
After thinking for a long time and considering many entry points, I later felt that Sabaody was the most suitable.
Can directly encounter Celestial Dragons and start a new plan.
Starting from the East Blue would be too long and too plain.
Tiring to write, and brothers probably don't like to read it either.
See you at 7 o'clock tomorrow.
