Chapter 104: George Martin Saint
"Do you want my eyes?" Rodney burst into a mocking laugh, "Do you think you can have these eyes? What qualifies you to possess these eyes?"
What a joke?
These were the Sharingan eyes, capable of turning imaginary into reality, one of the three great dojutsu, the Sharingan with a high level of evolution. He wasn't foolish enough to exchange a pair of eyes for money.
"Do you deserve them?"
Rodney's words were practically a signal for battle. Robin, Reiju, and Leicester all readied themselves. Perona, trembling, was already unconscious. She had no intention of becoming the wife of this ugly man!
"Bold! You are facing the descendant of the Creator, the supreme Celestial Dragon in this world, George Martin Saint! Yet you dare to utter obscenities! Your subordinates! Your eyes! And even your life, all must be surrendered! Apologize to the great George Martin Saint!"
The attendants around, resembling jesters and jestresses, demonstrated their loyalty to George Martin Saint.
"However, you are merely using your position to bully the weak. Without the Celestial Dragons, you're just a small slave. Who knows, you might rot away in some corner somewhere, George Martin Saint? Don't joke around, if anyone dares to touch my belongings, I'll play with them to the death!"
A quick pull of his sword, Shusui was unsheathed, a clear hum echoing in everyone's ears. Wind-infused chakra attached to the blade, effortlessly tearing up the ground, the forceful shockwave creating a gust of wind and a terrifying sense of oppression, capturing everyone's attention.
The guards were on high alert. The Shichibukai were a significant force of the World Government, used to balance the existence of pirates. They didn't want to provoke the Shichibukai.
However, their master was George Martin Saint. To think that this rodent actually wanted the eyes of the Shichibukai, Rodney, and even his people – it was infuriating!
But no matter what, they had to protect George Martin Saint. If something happened to him, his guards wouldn't be able to escape and they would all die. Moreover, their families would bear the brunt of their anger and be punished severely.
Sometimes, the Celestial Dragons made it easy for you to die, which was a reward in itself.
"You... you scoundrel!"
The attendant's face alternated between pale and flushed. Rodney's words were like needles, piercing through the attendant's weakness, exposing it under the sunlight.
George Martin Saint, on the other hand, was furious. "Get him! Take him down for me! Remember, don't harm his eyes!"
"Understood!"
The guards hesitated internally. If they went up, there would be no one to protect George Martin Saint. That was a dangerous proposition.
They couldn't take that risk. Rodney had defeated their guard captain quickly and without sustaining any damage. It showed that his strength surpassed that of the captain. Even though he had used despicable tactics, he had still won.
Shaking off the droplets of blood from Shusui, Rodney charged towards the guards. "Robin!"
"Got it! Seis Fleur: Clutch!"
Six arms suddenly appeared, binding the guards. In that instant, Rodney bypassed them and appeared before George Martin Saint, who hadn't yet reacted. One hand reached through his bubble helmet, while the other held Shusui and killed the attendant.
The scene fell silent immediately.
Everyone, including Robin and her crew, stared at Rodney in shock. George Martin Saint struggled, but couldn't free himself from the iron grip around his neck.
"No! Let go! I... I am George Martin Saint! The great George Martin Saint! I am a Celestial Dragon! Let me go now! I can overlook everything you've done to me, just…"
At this moment, George Martin Saint's expression changed, and he grinned awkwardly, "Sorry, Mr. Rodney, it seems I've misunderstood the situation. Please consider me as if I were nothing. Adults can overlook the mistakes of youngsters. How about you release me?"
George Martin Saint's abrupt change left many in a daze. Rodney let go of George Martin Saint, saying, "Get lost."
"Yes, yes, yes!" With a fawning smile, the attendant turned to his subordinates and sternly said, "What are you all standing around for? Mr. Rodney has spoken. Aren't you leaving?"
After speaking, they promptly left with their tails between their legs.
"Please wait for us, George Martin Saint!" As the effects of the Negative Hollow waned, the group of guards got up and immediately carried their fallen captain away.
Seeing George Martin Saint's receding figure, Rodney's face turned pale. He had just manipulated this idiot with a potent genjutsu. Every word, action, and expression of George Martin Saint had been under his control, consuming a substantial amount of chakra and mental energy.
He feared that once George Martin Saint returned to Mary Geoise, the servants serving the Celestial Dragons might discover something amiss. He could only make this idiot forget about this matter. There was no way he would let this guy live.
Even though George Martin Saint, a Celestial Dragon, had great utility value.
"Let's go." Held by Robin, with her fragrance wafting from her hair, Rodney said softly, "Quickly, head to Rayleigh's place."
"Understood!" Guessing that Rodney had probably used some unique technique, Robin and the others didn't inquire further. Lifting him, Leiju left this place first, followed closely by Robin and her crew.
As for George Martin Saint, he stayed under the control of the genjutsu, obliviously enjoying his time on the island.
Meanwhile, Rodney received a warning from the World Government, demanding that he show respect to the Celestial Dragons. If there was a next time, they would strip him of his Shichibukai title.
Rodney paid no attention to it. Once he entered the New World, it was a vast ocean where fish could leap and birds could fly freely. Who cared about these trivial matters?
