Chapter 106: Dark King Rayleigh! Ro... Rono?
At the same time.
Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
"Report to Fleet Admiral Sengoku! A major incident has occurred on the Sabaody Archipelago!"
"A Celestial Dragon was killed at the auction house in Area 1!"
"The murderer is currently unknown!"
Meanwhile, the news from the auction house reached Marine Headquarters!
"What did you say? A Celestial Dragon is dead?!"
Hearing this news, Sengoku was so startled he almost jumped out of his chair!
Not just Sengoku!
The two Admirals beside him, Kizaru and Akainu, were also greatly shocked!
On the Sabaody Archipelago!
A Celestial Dragon is dead?
Who would dare to commit such a treasonous act right under the nose of Marine Headquarters?
"Yes... the intelligence received says a Celestial Dragon is dead!"
"The murderer has not been found yet! But many suspicious individuals have been found at the auction house!"
"[Straw Hat] Luffy, [Captain] Eustass Kid, and [Surgeon of Death] Trafalgar Law!"
"[Pirate Hunter] Zoro, [Massacre Soldier] Killer!"
"Currently, it is preliminarily suspected that one of these supernovas is the murderer!"
The Marine responsible for delivering the intelligence said.
"Are you sure? These supernovas dare to do such a thing?"
Sengoku doubted his ears and asked again.
Although these supernovas were rookies and didn't understand the rules very well, they weren't fools!
Killing a Celestial Dragon was a capital crime!
This was no longer a question of whether or not to dispatch a Marine Admiral!
But to immediately arrest all these people and wait for the Five Elders to personally deliver their judgment!
Even he, the Marine Fleet Admiral, didn't have the right to dispose of them.
If the murderer was confirmed, even imprisonment in Impel Down would be skipped.
Basically, it was immediate execution!
"Hmm... the named pirates on the scene are these few, and there's also an unknown young man who currently has no bounty."
"So he can basically be ruled out."
"It should be one of these five."
The Marine delivering the intelligence said.
After all, he had never heard of the name [The Most Heinous Criminal].
And had never seen Rono's appearance.
He just treated Rono as an ordinary man and ruled him out without a second thought.
"Damn it! Wonder if Garp knows about this."
Sengoku felt it was a bit tricky.
After all, Straw Hat was Garp's grandson.
If Straw Hat were really arrested and killed, Garp would definitely cause a huge uproar.
"But a Celestial Dragon is dead, none of these people can run!"
"Akainu, Kizaru, you both go!"
Sengoku gave an order with a wave of his hand.
No matter what, arrest them first.
At least the attitude had to be right!
If the murderer really was Straw Hat.
Then they would have to shift the blame to Trafalgar Law and Kid.
After all, at this critical moment, Sengoku didn't want to offend Garp.
Because soon, the Marines would publicly execute Portgas D. Ace.
The man who carried the bloodline of the Pirate King!
"Ooh~ so scary~ Fleet Admiral Sengoku is serious."
Hearing that even Akainu was dispatched, Kizaru was surprised.
This guy couldn't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes.
The all-out war with Whitebeard was about to begin.
Arresting his grandson and offending Vice Admiral Garp at this time was no joke.
"Killing a Celestial Dragon is a capital crime!"
"All these evils must be eradicated!"
Hearing there were pirates to catch, Akainu was motivated, and immediately two warships set off from Marine Headquarters.
Heading for the Sabaody Archipelago.
...
Meanwhile, Sabaody Archipelago.
Area 1, Lawless Zone, Human Auctioning House.
"How do you want to die? Say it."
Rono drew the Shodai Kitetsu and looked at the two Celestial Dragons in front of him!
"You... don't come over!"
"I... I don't want to die yet!"
Saint Rosward and Princess Shalria kept shrinking back.
Their facial features were distorted with fear!
As a Celestial Dragon who personally experienced the Battle of God Valley.
Saint Rosward had the deepest experience of [The Most Heinous Criminal]'s terror!
He didn't care about World Nobles or not!
In his eyes, Celestial Dragons were worse than pigs and dogs!
"Stop struggling, Saint Rosward. You know the consequences of meeting me."
"If you're unwilling to choose, I'll choose for you."
"Feel the pain well before you die."
Rono came to the two and immediately lifted his right foot.
"No... don't!"
The two Celestial Dragons trembled with fear, but couldn't muster any resistance!
Crack~ crack~
The two Celestial Dragons let out screams like pigs being slaughtered.
Rono directly broke their fingers one by one!
Then broke all the bones in their bodies one by one!
And casually gouged out their eyeballs!
This was learned from those slaves in God Valley!
The pain from this method was the most lasting.
After doing all this, the two Celestial Dragons were on their last breath, still constantly moaning in pain.
Everyone present watched this scene, almost doubting their lives!
"Actually dare to torture a World Noble like this!"
"Isn't he afraid of retaliation from a Marine Admiral?"
"This guy is simply a devil from hell!"
"What terrifying methods! Simply not human!"
All the nobles present.
Including the members of the three pirate crews, couldn't believe the scene before their eyes!
Someone actually treated Celestial Dragons like pigs and dogs!
What kind of devil is this guy!
Meanwhile.
Backstage of the auction house.
"The wine is gone."
"Originally wanted to rob my buyer, now it seems the plan has failed."
"Mr. Giant, don't you think it's very noisy outside?"
A white-haired old man with a vertical scar on his eye shook the standard wine flask in his hand and said.
This person was impressively the famous right-hand man of the Pirate King.
The Dark King, Rayleigh!
"What a badly behaved old man."
The giant on the side couldn't help but sigh.
The old man in front of him had a special kind of temperament.
"Since that's the case, let's not waste time here."
"Let's go out and see what happened."
Soon, Rayleigh stood up and removed the explosive collars from himself and the giant.
The two left the backstage and came to the front.
The next moment, the tragedy of the auction house appeared before their eyes.
"Oh? How did it get so chaotic!"
"A Celestial Dragon actually tortured to this extent?!"
Even the well-informed Dark King Rayleigh was greatly surprised upon seeing the chaos at the scene!
After all, due to Rono's sudden intrusion, the scene was several times more chaotic than the original story!
It was no exaggeration to describe it as a river of blood!
Especially the two Celestial Dragons, with their eyes gouged out and bones broken all over, a miserable sight!
But before being surprised for long, Rayleigh saw a familiar figure!
Thump!
Rayleigh felt like he could hear his own heartbeat!
This... this this this...
At first, Rayleigh widened his eyes in disbelief!
Then took off his glasses and rubbed them hard!
After confirming again!
Rayleigh's face changed drastically—
Eyes wide open, tongue sticking out!
It was no exaggeration to describe him as dumbfounded!
Completely without the usual cool and aloof appearance of the Dark King Rayleigh!
"I... I'm not mistaken, right!"
"Ro... Rono!!"
"Weren't you... dead?"
"How... how are you here!"
The Dark King Rayleigh looked at Rono and said, very shocked and joyful!
