A few white doves landed in the 'Sabaody Park' that occupied Grove 32, 33, and 34 of Sabaody, tilting their heads to observe the bustling crowd below. They quickly found their target among the tourists:"Hee hee hee, let's have some fun!!"
Luffy, Chopper, Brook, and the mermaid Camie, who were looking for the coating craftsman, excitedly rushed into the amusement park, causing a dove to rub its temple with its wing.
...Oh, the sense of crisis~~Luffy, if you guys were just a bit more cautious, you wouldn't trigger the series of events that follow.
Seeing the initially cautious Hatchan and starfish Papagu joining the revelry, the doves were all exasperated! Roman really didn't understand what was so fun about this. To him, only greater strength and more abilities were worth celebrating.
No matter how many times Roman warned them, except for Robin and Franky, Sanji who hadn't encountered any beauties, and Zoro who didn't get lost, the others were always carefree and unguarded. Otherwise, with Luffy and the others' strength, a few slave hunters...
Under the watchful eyes of the doves, the group, who had played until they were exhausted, slumped on a bench, ready to buy some ice cream to rest. At that moment—Several figures in mascot costumes covered the mouth of the mermaid girl Guy Mi, gently pulled her back, and disappeared into the alley of a nearby building.
Sigh... The doves saw this but did not take further action.
Observation Haki, Observation Haki, Luffy, you clearly awakened all three types of Haki long ago, but you only use them in battle! You lack even the most basic vigilance in daily life, which is why you often fall into various stupid traps and schemes...As for Chopper and Brook, Roman didn't blame them. Chopper was just an innocent reindeer who hadn't left his hometown for long, and Brook had been trapped in the Florian Triangle for 50 years. Besides, neither of them had Observation Haki.
Watching Camie being stuffed into a sack and disappearing, the doves lowered their eyes.
Sorry, Luffy.
If you don't experience true 'despair,' you won't grow. To become the Pirate King, you must be stronger than anyone else!
Flap flap~~As Luffy and the others anxiously called out upon realizing Camie's disappearance, the doves spread their wings and scattered.
——————"Roman—"
"Hmm?"
The dozing Roman opened his eyes to see an angry Nami and a smiling Robin.
"Is shopping with me that boring?"
Faced with Nami's question, Roman touched his chin and thought seriously.
"A little,"
?
"Uppercut!!"
Bang!
"Ouch~~"
Roman didn't move an inch after taking a punch to the chin, but Nami, holding her fist, had tears welling up in her eyes, making Roman sigh.
"I always tell you to train properly, but you slack off. You can't even punch properly and you call yourself a pirate?"
So frustrating, but she couldn't say anything—
"Nami, let's go to the next store."
Seeing Nami's rising blood pressure, Robin pulled her towards a nearby jewelry store, quickly diverting her attention. Roman casually tossed a stack of Berries to the shopkeeper, and amidst the 'please come again' and enthusiastic bows, he picked up a bunch of bags and followed the two ladies.
Meanwhile, Roman's eyes flickered, and on the other side:A group of supernovas gathered on Grove 24 of the Sabaody Archipelago, with its 'unique' creatures strutting around.
"Where did Charlos and his father go?"
A disgusting guy with a bubble on his head and snot hanging from his nose sat on the back of a crawling man, holding a chain connected to the man's neck, with the other end of the chain pulling two women with numb expressions.
"We know their destination, so don't worry."
A man in a black suit and sunglasses with his hands in his pockets replied.
"Saint Charlos."
Adding 'Saint' after a name is a privilege only one type of person in this world has:
The Celestial Dragons!
The Celestial Dragons are the world nobles living in the Holy Land of Mariejois. They are the descendants of the 20 kings who established the World Government 800 years ago, considering themselves the descendants of the creators.
They wear bubble helmets because they consider themselves too noble to breathe the same air as ordinary people and treat other races as slaves. They enjoy all privileges. If offended, the Marine Admirals or CP0 must be dispatched to protect them.
By the way, Vivi's family was also one of the '20 kings', but her ancestor refused the Celestial Dragon status and returned to their country, Alabasta, so there are actually only 19 Celestial Dragon families.
As soon as this guy appeared, everyone on the street immediately knelt down and bowed their heads.
The proud and unruly supernovas didn't kneel but hid in the shadows of the buildings, watching.
"Oh, so these are the world noble pigs?"
"A bunch of trash..."
"Killing him is no harder than killing an ant, but~~"
At that moment, a doctor and nurse were carrying a patient across the street, and then:
Bang!
"Daring to run in front of us, tired of living?"
After firing a shot, the disgusting snot-nosed guy looked at the young nurse.
"You'll be my wife."
?
"Yes, I'll arrange for the 13th wife to move into the Holy Land immediately."
The man in the suit and sunglasses bowed slightly.
"Hey, wait!" A man beside him stood up excitedly, "She's my fiancée—"
Bang!
Another shot, problem solved.
"Hmm, even more reckless than the rumors..."
While everyone knelt on the ground, angry but silent, a green-haired swordsman with three swords at his waist, holding a bottle of sake, walked towards them, drinking as he went.
"Captain, that's..."
"The third member of the Straw Hat crew, 'Pirate Hunter' Zoro!"
Unlike the Straw Hat crew, the other supernovas had been cautiously gathering information along the way, whether from Marines or pirates. In this world, only Luffy and his crew would recklessly charge all the way here...
"That guy is going to cause trouble."
Amidst the frowns, disdain, and worried looks from the crowd, Zoro swaggered up to the Celestial Dragon with the fish tank on his head and raised his eyebrows.
"Why are you standing in the middle of the road? Are you asking for directions—"
...Bang!
When in doubt, shoot first.
After all, one couldn't expect much brain capacity from this snot-nosed man named 'Saint Charlos', but this time he picked the wrong target:With a slight sway, Zoro easily dodged the bullet! The sword at his waist, Wado Ichimonji, was unsheathed, revealing its fangs like a beast!
"Hey, hey, what's that kid trying to do!"
"Damn, this will—"
Just as the other supernovas were shocked, a 'little girl' suddenly rushed over and knocked Zoro to the ground.
"Brother, why did you die!!"
??
"Well—who told you to bump into a Celestial Dragon, dying is only natural~~"
???
Zoro, pinned under the little girl, was confused, and his body was covered in tomato sauce. For a moment, he couldn't struggle free—while the snot-nosed man who fired the shot tilted his head.
"Did I hit him?"
"I feel like he dodged... well, since he's dead, it doesn't matter."
As the Celestial Dragon turned and left, everyone on the street breathed a sigh of relief. The white dove perched on the rooftop blinked.
That idiot Celestial Dragon actually noticed that the 'fact' Zoro dodged!
With Zoro's current strength, ordinary people wouldn't even see his shadow, let alone react if he cut them in half. As expected of the bloodline of the twenty royal families that once ruled the world, they surely never lacked high-quality food and medicine.
Otherwise, he would later take a punch from an angry Luffy, and with Luffy's mountain-splitting strength, that pig head would have exploded on the spot.
It seems that even a pig can be quite tough..."You idiot!"
Facing the clueless Zoro, the rejuvenated Jewelry Bonney angrily pointed at her temple.
"What were you thinking? What if you attracted an Admiral!!"
"Thanks to Bonney, otherwise we would have been in trouble."
In response to his subordinate's words, Capone Bege rarely nodded.
"I heard the Straw Hat crew aren't normal people, but I didn't expect them to dare to attack a Celestial Dragon... they're really crazy."
"That's only natural," Hawkins said with a prophetic look, "he didn't show any signs of death."
"The killing intent that kid just showed..." Apoo shuddered, "was like a beast!"
"The third person is worth 140 million, that doesn't seem like the personality of someone who would be subordinate..."
'Mad Monk' Urouge sighed.
"I really want to see the demeanor of his captain~~~"
You'll be disappointed.
The white dove perched nearby turned its head unnaturally, because right now, Luffy:"Really, no mermaids for sale?!"
Luffy grabbed the shopkeeper and shook him, and even the gray-market human trafficker, facing the 'famous' pirate with a 300 million bounty, could only shake his head humbly.
"No... no, we don't have a warehouse, just what's on display..."
"Camie!"
"Camie, where are you—"
Watching Luffy running around and shouting like a headless blue fly, the white dove that had been following them sighed.
Even though he had specifically explained how to use the 'phone' before, at the critical moment, Luffy treated the paper on his wrist as ordinary paper...Flap flap~~The white dove flapped its wings and landed in front of the panicked Luffy and his group, speaking in human language.
"Luffy, what happened?"
"Roman!"
The anxious Luffy immediately saw his savior,"Camie is missing! Help me find her—"
"Understood,"
Seeing the slave hunters the other doves were tracking had already entered the auction house on Island 1, and two Celestial Dragons with 'fish tanks' on their heads had also entered the auction house, the dove in front of Luffy and the others nodded.
"Leave it to me."
