Chapter 208: The Shattering of Absolute Taboos! The Fall of Gods and the Thunderous Cleansing of the Shura
Sabaody Archipelago, Grove 1, Human Auction House.
Under the massive dome, every seat was filled. Tatsuya, Nami, and Robin had pushed their way directly into the venue, which was overflowing with greed and sin.
The spotlight at the center of the stage was blindingly bright.
Camie, wearing a lethal explosive collar, was pushed out in a giant transparent fishbowl, locked in by heavy iron chains.
Her eyes were filled with desperate tears, and she helplessly slapped the thick glass with her hands.
Below the stage, Nami bit her lower lip hard.
Her eyes became incredibly determined; she was prepared to use all the treasure on the ship, even if it meant going bankrupt, to forcibly buy Camie.
"Five hundred million Berries!"
Just as Nami was about to raise her bidding paddle, a voice with a long, nasal drawl rang out abruptly from the very front row of the venue.
The Celestial Dragon Saint Charlos, wearing his signature bubble helmet, raised his bidding paddle with a fanatical look on his face.
He stared at Camie on the stage as if looking at an interesting toy and shouted excitedly:
"I want to buy her back and put her in my private aquarium as an ornamental fish!"
"Watching her run around chased by those hungry piranhas every day must be very interesting!"
"Five hundred million Berries!"
The astronomical figure of five hundred million Berries struck everyone's heart like a heavy hammer.
What was even more despairing was the absolute, unquestionable privilege of the Celestial Dragons in this world.
As long as they spoke, no one on this vast sea dared to bid against them.
The entire venue instantly fell into a deathly silence.
Nami's hands, which had been half-raised, dropped powerlessly.
Her shoulders trembled slightly.
Her bright eyes were filled with deep despair and uncontrollable anger.
Just as the auctioneer was trembling with excitement.
"Boom—!!!"
A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering roar erupted.
The sturdy wall on the side of the human auction house was smashed open by a violent force.
Amidst the flying bricks and dust.
Hatchan, riding a massive flying fish, crashed straight into the dense audience, man and fish alike, like a falling meteorite, triggering screams of terror.
"Camie! I've come to save you!"
However, the heavy coat Hatchan wore to hide his extra limbs was accidentally torn.
Six thick arms, along with the unique skin of an octopus Fishman, were exposed without reservation under the glaring lights.
The moment they saw the Fishman's true form.
The well-dressed nobles in the audience, as if they had seen some fatal plague, erupted in screams of terror:
"Ah!!! It's a Fishman!"
"So disgusting! Help!"
"How could such a lowly race, reeking of a foul, inferior stench, sneak into our venue!"
"Guards! Get him out of here!"
Saint Charlos, sitting in the front row, had his mood ruined by this sudden turn of events.
He pulled a gold pistol inlaid with gemstones from his bosom with an impatient look.
The pitch-black muzzle was aimed directly at Hatchan, who had fallen to the ground.
"Bang!"
The harsh gunshot echoed through the venue.
A spray of blood instantly exploded from Hatchan's chest, and his massive body spasmed in pain, collapsing heavily into the rapidly spreading pool of blood.
Saint Charlos blew the smoke from the muzzle and laughed wantonly without any pity:
"Hahaha! I hit him! My marksmanship is so accurate!"
"I'm so lucky today, I actually caught a disgusting, lowly octopus for free!"
Watching Hatchan fall into a pool of blood, life or death unknown, and listening to Camie's heartbreaking, desperate wailing on stage.
Tatsuya did not waste any unnecessary words.
The hard stone floor beneath his feet instantly cracked like a spiderweb!
His entire body turned into a black afterimage as fast as lightning, instantly tearing through the air!
Just as Saint Charlos raised his pistol again, preparing to fire a second shot at Hatchan.
Tatsuya appeared out of thin air in front of this World Noble like a ghost.
In the incredulous, horrified gaze of everyone in the venue.
Tatsuya exerted force from his waist, his long right leg carrying the momentum of rolling thunder, creating a piercing sonic boom in the air!
A powerful high whip kick struck Saint Charlos's fat, greasy face without mercy!
"Crack—!!!"
The resin bubble helmet, symbolizing the absolute privilege and arrogance of the World Nobles, instantly shattered into fragments under this terrifying force.
Saint Charlos's two-hundred-pound fat body had its facial bones completely twisted and deformed.
His whole body, like a heavy shell fired from a cannon, flew backward at high speed towards the venue's entrance!
Just as Saint Charlos was flying backward in a parabolic arc in mid-air, another loud noise came.
The incredibly thick door of the human auction house was smashed to pieces by another out-of-control flying fish from the outside.
Luffy, holding his Straw Hat with one hand, rushed in with an impatient look on his face:
"Camie! Hatchan! I've come to save you!"
As soon as he looked up.
A bruised and swollen, disgusting fat man appeared in his field of vision, crashing straight into his face.
Luffy, anxious and burning with impatience, didn't even look at what the thing was, and roared:
"Don't get in my way!!!"
Along with this roar, Luffy's right fist clenched instantly.
Pitch-black, dense Armament Haki instantly wrapped around his knuckles, and he mercilessly punched Saint Charlos in his already severely deformed face.
First came Tatsuya's violent, lethal flying kick, followed by Luffy's Haki-infused heavy punch filled with rage.
This Celestial Dragon, who was usually arrogant and domineering.
With his fragile flesh, he endured this incredibly lethal "mixed doubles" attack.
Saint Charlos didn't even have time to let out a final scream before he instantly lost all consciousness.
He was violently smashed by Luffy's heavy punch into the rock-solid load-bearing wall on the side of the venue, life or death unknown!
The entire venue instantly petrified.
The huge auction venue fell into a deathly, absolute silence.
All the nobles, the fully armed guards, the auctioneer on stage.
Even Hatchan, who was lying in a pool of blood enduring severe pain, forgot to breathe at this moment.
In this world, attacking a Celestial Dragon is an absolute taboo that triggers the deployment of an Admiral!
And this group of pirates before their eyes, they didn't just attack a Celestial Dragon.
They even kicked the noble Celestial Dragon into the wall like a football!
"[Ding! Detected that the host has violently trampled on an absolute taboo of the World Government that has lasted for eight hundred years!]"
"[Congratulations to the host for achieving the hidden epic achievement: Harbinger of Extreme Evil]"
Accompanied by a series of extremely pleasant coin-clashing sounds, exaggerated numbers jumped on Tatsuya's retina.
"[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the epic event reward: Ninja Points + 15000 points]"
Seeing this huge, terrifying sum of money credited instantly, a curve formed at the corner of Tatsuya's mouth.
However, the system's carnival was not over yet; a green light, extremely gentle and filled with immense vitality, exploded on the system panel.
"[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the passive constitution: [Primary Sage Body]]"
"Hahahaha!"
Sitting in the shadows at the back, Eustass Kid, with his conspicuous Red Hair, widened his eyes, which were filled with fanaticism.
After a brief shock, he looked up and burst into unbridled, arrogant laughter:
"Too crazy! These guys, they are simply a bunch of complete lunatics! But... that was really beautiful!"
After the deathly silence, the venue finally erupted into a doomsday-like panic.
"The... the Celestial Dragon has been defeated!!!"
"Run!!! An Admiral will come to slaughter the island soon!!!"
Finally, the venue guards and the Celestial Dragon's exclusive bodyguards, who had reacted from their stupor, had bloodshot eyes.
They pulled out the long swords and muskets from their waists and frantically swarmed toward the location of Luffy and Tatsuya.
"Kill them!!! They must not be allowed to leave alive!!!"
"How dare they treat the noble Saint Charlos like this! Tear them into pieces!!!"
Just as hundreds of guards were rushing toward Luffy like a black tide, murderous and aggressive.
"Zzzzz—!"
Accompanied by a harsh thunderous sound like a thousand birds chirping at the same time.
A black figure blocked in front of Luffy like a ghost, fast as lightning.
Tatsuya's long, powerful right hand slowly drew the Shusui from his waist.
"Well done, Captain."
The moment the words fell, violent, incomparable blue high-voltage lightning instantly wrapped around the deep dark red blade as if it had a life of its own.
Tatsuya's eyes were cold; he reversed his wrist and swung the Shusui in his hand horizontally.
"Lightning Release · Chidori Absolute Slash!"
"Swish—!!!"
A huge blue crescent-shaped sword aura, dozens of meters long, instantly tore through the open space in front of the entire stage.
The lightning sword aura, like a scythe of death cutting through dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, sliced the dozens of guards rushing at the front in half at the waist.
Hot blood sprayed out miserably in the venue like a fountain!
It wasn't over yet.
While swinging the slash.
The pitch-black shadow under Tatsuya's feet seemed to be injected with vitality from hell in an instant, and began to spread and boil wildly toward the surroundings.
"Shadow Animation · Shadow Prison."
Accompanied by Tatsuya's low, soft chanting.
Countless sharp, deep black spears, like thorns breaking through the soil, thrust out without warning from the shadows spreading on the ground.
"Puchi! Puchi! Puchi!"
Those guards who attempted to bypass from the sides and back to launch a sneak attack couldn't even make a sound.
They were ruthlessly pierced in the chest and limbs by these sharp, tough shadow spears.
They were nailed miserably in mid-air, as if they had been skewered like candied haws.
In less than a minute.
The front row of the huge auction venue had become a tragic mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
"Clang—"
The heavy blade emitted a crisp and bloodthirsty sword hum.
His terrifying aura caused the remaining guards behind who had luckily survived to completely collapse mentally.
They were so scared that they threw away their helmets and armor, their legs went weak, and they collapsed onto the blood-filled ground.
Trafalgar Law, sitting in a corner on the other side, looked at this bloody and shocking scene before him.
He pressed down on the spotted hat on his head, his eyes solemn:
"Is this the rumored Vice Captain of the Straw Hat, 'Crimson Lotus' Tatsuya..."
Law looked at the eerie shadow spears on the ground:
"That kind of tricky shadow ability that is impossible to guard against, plus that terrifying swordsmanship... He's truly an extremely dangerous man."
Just as the entire venue was so intimidated by Tatsuya that they dared not move a muscle.
"Boom!"
The sturdy stone wall behind the auction stage was suddenly blasted open from the inside.
Amidst the flying rubble, a sturdy old man with shoulder-length white hair, a beard on his chin, and a clear scar over his right eye walked out with a calm pace.
"Pluton" Silvers Rayleigh.
This legendary pirate scanned the Celestial Dragon smashed into the wall, then looked at Luffy and Tatsuya.
In his weather-beaten eyes, there was no panic, but rather a flash of admiration.
Afterwards, Rayleigh stopped.
An invisible, terrifying wave swept across the entire auction venue like a hurricane, with him at the center.
Conqueror's Haki!
In the face of this tangible, majestic power that dominated the world.
The remaining guards in the venue, the nobles still screaming in terror, and even the Celestial Dragon's attendants, all rolled their eyes instantly.
The entire venue fell completely silent.
Rayleigh reached out and pushed the round-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
He looked at the lawless young people in front of him, and a gentle, gratified smile curled at the corner of his mouth:
"Ah, ah. Young people these days are really full of energy.
