123: Chapter 122 Landing on the Sabaody Archipelago, Witnessing the Celestial Dragons Killing People"Thank you so much!Have a safe trip, Luffy!" Duval led the Flying Fish Knights to express their sincere gratitude to Luffy and his crew.Before leaving, he didn't forget to wink at them, but his expression was really hard to describe, which made Sanji so angry that he almost went up and gave him a mini plastic surgery treatment.
"Alright, alright, isn't this better?Everyone's happy!" Luffy chuckled, patting Sanji on the shoulder to calm him down.Sanji glared fiercely at his hideously drawn wanted poster, secretly vowing to use his best photo next time!
The group continued their journey amidst laughter and banter, arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago a few days later.Upon learning that the Straw Hat crew's next destination was Fish-Man Island, Hachi volunteered to disguise himself and, along with Camie, find a coating worker for them.To reach Fish-Man Island, the Sunny needed a coating first, and Hachi happened to know a highly skilled coating craftsman.
Before leaving, Hachi solemnly reminded everyone: "Everyone, when you're playing on this island, you must be careful of the Celestial Dragons.If you encounter them, you must keep a low profile to avoid getting into trouble.Because I've heard that if a Celestial Dragon is harmed, the Marine Headquarters will definitely send an Admiral.At that time, even if you guys are strong, Luffy, you won't be able to escape."
After giving his instructions, Hachi took Camie and left.Luffy docked the Sunny and officially landed on the seemingly peaceful Sabaody Archipelago.The group dispersed, each busy with their own tasks.
Luffy, meanwhile, strolled around the island with Nami, Robin, Vivi, and Uta.Before long, the storage rings on the four girls' hands were overflowing with all sorts of beautiful clothes.Luffy chuckled wryly as he tossed the excess clothes into his system space.
Just then, a commotion ahead caught their attention.The five curiously approached to see what was happening.They saw a man kneeling on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing to a tall man riding on top of him.The man had bubbles on his head and looked like a fat pig.Behind the "pig," a burly man was tightly gripping a beautiful girl.Although the surrounding crowd looked on with pity, no one dared to step forward, for the person riding on top of the other was none other than a Celestial Dragon, a person of high status in this world.
"You lowly commoner, this woman is lucky to have caught my eye, Saint Charles.If you don't leave, believe me, I'll shoot you dead!" the fat pig said impatiently, sniffling.However, the man ignored him.Despite the blood streaming down his forehead, he continued to kowtow, clinging to a sliver of hope.Finally, the fat man named Saint Charles could no longer contain his anxiety.He suddenly reached for the gleaming pistol at his waist, pulled the trigger without hesitation, and fired a fatal bullet!
As the sharp gunshot rang out, the onlookers, who had been watching the spectacle, were terrified and scattered in all directions, as if the end of the world had arrived.The unfortunate man who had been shot struggled painfully on the ground for a few moments before losing all life and remaining motionless.
Surprisingly, Charles Saint did not seem to feel the slightest fear or unease from killing with his own hands.On the contrary, a morbid excitement and satisfaction appeared on his face as he clapped his hands frantically and muttered something to himself, as if he had just killed an insignificant ant.
Witnessing this horrific scene, the girl let out a heart-wrenching scream.She struggled with all her might, trying to reach her deceased lover.However, her feeble strength was utterly powerless against the powerful restraints, and no matter how hard she tried, she could not break free.
At Saint Charles's shout, the girl could only watch in despair as the man's corpse receded into the distance, tears blurring her vision.Having done all this, Saint Charles triumphantly prepared to head to the island's auction to see if there were any other slaves worth buying.
As he passed by Luffy and his crew, his gaze was suddenly drawn to the four beautiful girls beside Luffy.He stared at them greedily, secretly plotting how to possess these beauties.Only when Luffy and his group had gone far away did Charlos Saint snap out of his daze and realize his lapse in composure.
"Hey, you, hurry up and snatch those four women from that kid's side!Hahahaha.I can't wait to hear their pitiful screams when they're branded with the slave mark.That would be the most beautiful music!" The fat, pig-like man viciously ordered his subordinates.
The man who received the order did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately took off, chasing after Luffy and the others at lightning speed.
At this moment, Luffy and his crew were still stunned by what they had just witnessed.It all happened so suddenly, catching them completely off guard.A vibrant life had vanished before their very eyes, like a blooming flower being mercilessly trampled into the mud.
Luffy's eyes darkened, his fists clenched, and a fierce rage ignited within him.He gritted his teeth and said, "Celestial Dragons, huh?Hmph!I wasn't even planning on causing you any trouble, but you've delivered yourself right to my doorstep!I once said I would wipe out all of you parasites of the world!Since that's the case, let's start with you!"
Just then, the man who had come on orders caught up.Without hesitation, he lunged at the four women, attempting to snatch them away.However, his strength was utterly insignificant compared to Luffy's, like a mayfly trying to shake a tree.In a mere instant, he was swallowed up by the endless darkness.
This incident caused Luffy's killing intent to erupt completely.He returned to the man's side, staring at the already cold corpse.Luffy's fingers began to condense dark element, which he then threw onto the body.Creepy astonishment, after a series of eerie twitches, the corpse slowly stood up, terrifying the surrounding passersby who scattered in panic.
"Go, take advantage of the opportunity I've given you to get your revenge," Luffy said calmly.The corpse nodded, then sped off without hesitation towards the direction the fat pig was.
After completing all this, Luffy returned to the four girls and continued strolling around as if nothing had happened.It was as if everything that had just occurred to him had nothing to do with him; his heart was as calm as still water.
