The intense pain made the two Celestial Dragon sisters, Caronas, burst into tears.
Their fingers were broken one by one, and since their hearts were connected to their fingers, the agony was unbearable.
Their mouths were petrified; they no longer had the ability to scream.
In the hands of the Pirate Empress Hancock, the noble Celestial Dragon sisters were completely powerless.
All they had left was fear—fear of death, fear of the Empress, who was far more powerful than them and infinitely more beautiful.
Caronas Ina Palace and Caronas Imei Palace, accustomed to cruelty and tyranny, never imagined that one day they would be tortured like slaves.
Just like the slaves they once tormented.
Yet the intense pain did not bring them guilt. On the contrary, their eyes were full of anger as they glared at Hancock.
Their cruel eyes seemed to say, You are a lowly slave!
"Have you two forgotten who I am? It doesn't matter. So many slaves suffered at your hands. Today is the day you pay your debt!" Hancock's deep blue eyes blazed with anger.
The sisters had caused immeasurable pain to her, the Sandasonia sisters, and countless other slaves. Today, she would take revenge.
So what if they were Celestial Dragons? Victor had said it: kill them if she wanted.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Hancock's fragrant feet kept striking every part of the Celestial Dragon sisters' bodies—legs, shoulders, back, neck, chest.
The petrifying ability of her feet slowly immobilized the sisters' bodies. They could only watch themselves petrify, unable to do anything.
At this moment, their arrogance and cruelty had vanished.
Only endless fear remained, along with the searing pain. After Hancock's reminder, they finally remembered who this horrifying woman was.
She was a lowly slave—once tortured nearly to death by them—who now held their lives in her hands.
"Wife, make it quick! Kill them!" Victor suddenly urged Hancock, his Observation Haki fully active.
At that moment, a figure approached from below the Baibai Sea at an extremely high speed.
"Oh my! This is really troublesome, Thunder God Victor… I can only wish you good luck…" Admiral Kizaru's face twisted strangely.
Then, he raised his foot and unleashed the long-accumulated flash kick.
A dazzling golden light exploded outward, blowing a huge hole in the clouds above the Baibai Sea.
"Kizaru, get down!"
Thunder Method·80 Million Volts·Exploding Thunder Dragon!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Endless thunder surged from Victor's body, forming a lightning-dragon that charged toward Kizaru with immense force.
The Navy Admiral was hit directly and forced to fall into the blue sea, offsetting the Thunder Dragon's power.
Victor smiled. He had guessed Kizaru's intentions. The flash kick had made more noise than actual damage—it was just showmanship.
Victor simply took advantage of the situation, sending the troublesome Navy Admiral back to the sea.
Now, whoever the mysterious newcomer was, Victor would not be at a disadvantage without Kizaru interfering.
Swish!
Tear~
Tear~
Just as Kizaru was blasted off the Sky Island, an urgent figure jumped from beneath the clouds.
At the same time, Hancock completed her final revenge.
The half-petrified Celestial Dragon sisters, Caronas, were torn apart by Hancock. Their deaths were tragic and absolute.
The nobleman who had just arrived at Sky Island witnessed the scene firsthand.
His fists clenched, eyes bloodshot, and the last trace of kindness vanished from his gaze. His noble aura quickly dissipated, replaced entirely by anger.
"Igubigu?!"
Victor was startled. The newcomer was none other than the man he had spoken with earlier—Igubigu.
Victor's mind raced. Could it be…?
"Makabaka, I really don't want to meet you here… or should I call you, Thunder God Victor?!"
The man struggled to control his rage. Trembling, he clutched a cherished notebook, hoping it would help calm him for a moment.
"Igubigu… are you a Celestial Dragon?!"
Victor dashed to Hancock's side. He could feel Igubigu's fury. It seemed the sisters Hancock had just killed were Igubigu's siblings.
"Yes! I am Celestial Dragon Karonas Igusheng!" Saint Caronas Igu suppressed his anger and answered Victor.
Not long ago, he had still considered "Makabaka" a good friend. Even now, facing his enemy, he wanted to die with a clear conscience.
"Karonas Igusheng!?" Hancock was startled. She vaguely remembered that an outlier among the Celestial Dragons existed—Saint Igu.
Hancock had once been a slave to the Caronas sisters, but she had never met Caronas Igusheng.
This "alien" Celestial Dragon had lived a completely different life from childhood.
While other Celestial Dragons indulged in extravagance and tortured slaves for pleasure, Saint Caronas Igu had devoted himself to study and even intervened to stop other Celestial Dragons from persecuting slaves.
Such a special Celestial Dragon could actually be the brother of the sisters?
"Makabaka… Over the years, I tried to change the World Government and the Celestial Dragons, thinking they made ordinary people's lives miserable.
But now I see… the misfortunes of this world are caused by pirates like you! Thunder God Victor! You and this woman…
you killed my family! You killed my sister! I sympathize with ordinary people's misfortunes, but you… you've made yourself miserable! There's no reason for this, right?!"
Caronas Igusheng's handsome face twisted with fury.
He opposed the cruelty of the Celestial Dragons but loved his family. Both his sisters were dead—killed by despicable pirates. Hatred shattered his values.
The Celestial Dragon tore his notebook into pieces. Now, all he wanted was to slaughter the two in front of him.
"I will kill you, Makabaka… No, Victor!!"
"How many slaves has your family killed? They had no family? Igu! Your compassion was false from the start! The brutality of the Celestial Dragons must be broken by external forces. You nobles in the Holy Land deserve to die!"
Victor sneered. Igu Sheng's desire to avenge his family wasn't wrong—but the slaves tortured to death by his family were innocent.
"I have trained with the Five Elders since childhood. I have mastered the Three Colors of Haki and the Six Styles of the Navy to perfection. I have become a great swordsman. Pirates, prepare to die!"
Caronas Igu drew his sword. Though he had never shown his full strength to the world, now he was filled with murderous intent. He wanted to avenge his sisters and kill the pirates himself.
"Six Styles of the Navy?! Swordsmanship!? Three Colors of Haki?!"
Victor laughed. What a coincidence. He knew all of these—but could Saint Igu use them as well?
"Let's fight!!!"
