### Chapter 97: Where Did The Celestial Dragons Come From? The Roswald Family!
"Roaring Thunder Eight Trigrams!!" Kaido twisted his body, pulled the mace from his waist, and swung it at Hancock.
Rumble!!!!
The empress flew backward like a cannonball, and blood sprayed from her body, tracing a scarlet line in the air.
"Hancock!" Rayleigh cried out in worry.
He watched Hancock soar through the air, her leg twisted and broken, with white bones piercing through her skin. Her face was covered in blood. While retreating using Moonwalk to catch her before she fell into the sea, he threw out Slash Waves, even though each one was easily dissolved, crushed, or bounced back by Kaido. He tirelessly slashed through the air, trying to buy some time. But there was no delay.
Kaido's speed increased, breaking through the sound barrier. In a flash, he was upon Rayleigh, swinging his mace again. Rayleigh gritted his teeth and steeled himself for the impact.
The sky exploded!!!
Turbulent air scattered all the clouds! The sea churned, sending huge waves toward the surrounding islands.
Facing the massive mace, Rayleigh struggled to hold on. His hands trembled on his sword, and gradually, a crack appeared in the blade. The sword was no match for Kaido's power. The next moment!
Ping!!!!
The long sword shattered into countless fragments, which flew toward Rayleigh. Energy burst directly from the broken sword. In desperation, Rayleigh did his best to defend.
Bang!!!!
Still clutching the shattered hilt, Rayleigh's chest ribs broke completely, and fragments pierced his lungs. The massive blow made his heart stop for two seconds, and his blood almost coagulated. The force launched Rayleigh backward into the sea, leaving a long tail of air, like a shooting star.
Hancock and Rayleigh,
They lost in just a few rounds! They were on the verge of being buried in the sea!
However, the wind suddenly picked up! Thick dark clouds rolled across the sky, and the sea waves grew more terrifying. A gust of wind caught Hancock and Rayleigh, suspending them in the air.
Then, between the two, Dragon appeared, looking disheveled. Using his darkened arm, he pulled two pills from his pocket and threw them to them. Watching Rayleigh groan in pain while catching it, Hancock grabbed hers, frowning at the man who helped them.
Just about to ask the identity of this man, Rayleigh endured the severe pain and said,
"Hancock... This is Luffy's father, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon."
"Hmmmm......," she responded.
"If you want to talk about Luffy, we have to work together."
With a muffled groan, blood rushed to Rayleigh's mouth and nose. He raised his hand to wipe the blood and examined the pill in his hand.
Luffy's father?!!!
Hancock's face turned red immediately. She tilted her head, her injuries feeling slightly better. Her mind drifted to the scene of marrying Luffy with Dragon in attendance. She didn't care about her injured leg anymore.
Dragon noticed the strange reaction from the empress and turned to look at Rayleigh.
He thought the woman was upset with him. However, Rayleigh, wanting to save his strength, shook his head to signal they could talk later. Raising the pill in his hand, he asked silently what it was.
"A special medicine that can quickly heal injuries," Dragon replied calmly. There was no doubt he had taken it first; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to use his hands so quickly. Rayleigh's eyes were suspicious. Dragon looked at him and added, "Zou's specialty has a quick recovery effect, but once it wears off, the pain doubles."
Rayleigh's eyes froze, and he immediately ate it. Suddenly, he felt refreshed. The heavy injury to his lungs seemed almost nonexistent, and the pain in his body felt paralyzed. He could speak and breathe smoothly. The Roger Pirates had been to Zou and knew of this medicine, but they had never experienced it. It truly felt like a miracle medicine!
"This is Zou's secret medicine?" Kaido had flown closer to them unnoticed. His eyes flickered. Because the elephant lord provoked him, he destroyed the entire Zou. He had forgotten about this good thing. Zoro had defeated King with this. If it could be used on the battlefield... Forget it; Zou was gone. If it's not available, there's no use thinking about it.
Hancock was so shocked that she immediately swallowed the secret medicine. Then, under the gaze of the three, she forcibly straightened her leg. Broken bone fragments and flesh fell directly from the sky. Dragon gasped when he saw this. He thought, this woman is too fierce. Then, the three straightened their backs completely and confronted Kaido in the air.
On the ground, Kaido had pulled the combat range above the sea. Although the waves occasionally hit him, Tesoro carefully blocked them with gold. He borrowed a live broadcast from Morgans and Buggy and hired doctors at a high price of 10 billion. All the doctors in the Sabaody Archipelago rioted, almost all of them rushing to him. A large group of people gathered to heal Kaido's daughter, Yamato.
Tesoro was desperate to tie himself to Kaido's ship. Since Morgans and Buggy started the live broadcast, the whole world knew that the richest man in the world wanted to join Kaido. How could the world government remain indifferent? They probably had already begun to act to seize all his property.
He had nothing to say about it. He stood up and prepared to transport Yamato to a hospital director who claimed to have the most luxurious territory on the island.
Then, he spoke in surprise. "Hey, don't CPO and the Five Elders care?!" Tesoro's eyes widened in disbelief at what he saw. "What if these guys die here?!"
The person who could make the richest man in the world so surprised was either someone strong or a Celestial Dragon. Three people dressed in white-gold aristocratic garments rode on the back of a tall slave. The older man in the middle, wearing sunglasses and a beard, led the rope towards them.
"Celestial Dragons!!" someone shouted in the crowd. Everyone immediately turned their heads and saw that it was indeed the Celestial Dragons arriving. They all knelt down and buried their heads deeply. The atmosphere of fear was pervasive, and even the air seemed to hold its breath. Tesoro immediately covered Yamato, Robin, Nami, Zoro, and the Mera-mera Fruit with gold, leaving only a gap for breathing. The Celestial Dragons must not see these esteemed women. They were the people Kaido wanted!
Tesoro's eyes flickered. Then, he opened his big mouth and walked out with a smile. "Long time no see! I didn't expect to meet you here so luckily!"
"Rozwald St.!"
"Charros St."
"Charlulia Palace!"
On the back of the slave was the Rozwald family of the Celestial Dragons!
