Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Sabo's expression remained unchanged as he watched the CP members charging towards him.

Blue lightning surged from his body, transforming into countless writhing lightning snakes that surged forward.

A series of crackling sounds rang out, and the people were instantly engulfed by the surging thunder. Their screams were barely audible amidst the thunder.

Before long, when the thunder subsided, the CP organization members who had been roaring and charging forward were all lying on the ground.

Black smoke mingled with the smell of grilled meat, billowing out.

!!!

Charlos's face paled in horror, an uncontrollable look of terror appearing on his face, and his body involuntarily took several steps back out of fear.

But once he realized what was happening, the fear vanished immediately, replaced by intense anger, and he felt ashamed that he had actually felt fear.

He roared at Sabo again in a fit of impotent rage:

"You're dead, you're absolutely dead, I'm going to make sure you die!"

"Not just you, but all your loved ones will die!!!"

"Heh~"

To everyone's surprise, Sabo did not show any fear when he heard the threat. Instead, he laughed and gave a half-smile.

"If you can kill them all, then you're truly capable!"

His relatives?

Aren't his only remaining family members now Garp, Ace, Luffy, and Kayle?

Is a bubble-shaped fry trying to deal with them?

That's wonderful!

On the contrary, he was actually hoping that this bubble pot would cause them some trouble.

But realistically speaking, this is impossible; there is absolutely no possibility of it happening!

Arrogant at first, then obsequious...

Seeing that his threats seemed to have no effect on Sabo, Charlos spoke again:

"Not only your family, but also these civilians, they will die too!!"

"You want to protect them, right?! Then I'll see if you can keep protecting them forever!"

"As long as you're not around, they'll still die by my hand..."

!!!

Charlos abruptly stopped speaking, his pupils contracting sharply.

Sabo, who had been dozens of meters away from him just moments before, had somehow appeared in front of him.

An overwhelming sense of oppression washed over him instantly, causing him to involuntarily take several steps back, during which he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Sabo's gaze swept over, and the air seemed to freeze instantly, making the entire space incredibly oppressive.

"What did you say?!"

A faint voice came from Sabo's mouth again, but unlike before, this time Sabo's voice clearly contained a strong chill.

"I, I..."

Charles stammered, unable to utter a single word for a moment.

The pressure Sabo is putting on him has rendered him speechless, and a deep sense of fear is spreading through his heart.

Especially when he saw the flickering killing intent in Sabo's eyes, he was filled with fear.

And at this moment, Sabo was indeed thinking the same thing; he really wanted to kill the bubble-like creature in front of him.

Although he had known before that these bubble-making groups were somewhat lawless, he hadn't encountered them in person yet, so he didn't have a real-life experience and his feelings weren't very deep.

But now he has truly heard and seen the atrocities committed by the bubble-shaped altar.

So he's really a bit...

For a moment, Sabo hesitated. Even if the disgusting guy in front of him was a Celestial Dragon, Sabo really had the idea of ​​killing him.

However, Sabo also had to consider the special nature of the other party's identity. Killing him would have extremely serious consequences, even...

Before Sabo could continue to hesitate, he suddenly sensed something, and at the same time, a loud shout came from above:

"Damn pirates! How dare they attack a noble Celestial Dragon! Prepare to die!!"

"Fire Fist!!"

In an instant, Sabo felt a wave of heat coming from above. Almost instantly, Sabo understood what was happening, a faint smile appeared on his lips, and then he instantly transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared from the spot.

Only Charles and two other Bubble Clan members, along with some members of the CP organization, remained.

! ! ! !

Charlos looked up blankly, only to see a huge, fiery fist hurtling down on them...

At that moment, Charlos's fear vanished completely, leaving only endless blankness.

The next second—

Boom!!

A tremendous roar erupted, and scorching waves of fire burst forth, sweeping outwards.

Just as they were about to reach the civilians, a figure landed in front of them, clenched his fist, wrapped it with Armament Haki, and then unleashed a powerful punch.

boom--

A powerful shockwave erupted from his fist, shattering the onrushing wave of fire.

This person is none other than Luffy!

A smile appeared on his face, but it vanished almost instantly. He coughed and shouted ahead:

"Damn pirates, release Bubble... the Celestial Dragon right now, or you'll be sorry!!"

After he finished speaking, Luffy's lips would involuntarily turn up, but each time they would just start to curve upwards, he would pull them back down.

no!!

You can't laugh during such a serious moment!!

They're carrying out a "blindness" plan!!

The "Blindness" plan was a plan he and Ace had just devised, which mainly involved lying through one's teeth, just like what was happening now.

Meanwhile, after finishing his attack, Ace landed next to Luffy and shouted something exaggeratedly forward:

"Damn pirates, release Lord Charlos and his men right now! If you have a problem, come at the Marines!!"

……

The others standing nearby were completely dumbfounded as they watched the scene unfold, somewhat bewildered.

Pirates? Where are the pirates?!

but……

Since both vice admirals of the Canglan Squad said there are pirates, then there must be pirates!

Oh no!! Those damned, brutal pirates, what are they going to do to the Celestial Dragons? They're not going to kill them, are they? No way??

A short while later, a bolt of lightning gathered beside Luffy and Ace, from which Sabo's figure emerged. He gazed intently at the still raging sea of ​​fire before him, and after a long pause, he suddenly approached Ace and Sabo, speaking in a voice only they could hear:

"How dare you two?!"

However, upon hearing his words, Ace and Luffy looked at him with 'confusion' on their faces, and then spoke in unison:

"What makes you so bold? We don't understand!!"

All I know is that we're trying our best to 'rescue' the Celestial Dragons from the brutal pirates!

Sabo: ...

Sabo remained silent for a while, and then a strange smile appeared on his lips.

"That's right!! We're trying our best to save the Celestial Dragons!!"

"But what if those damned, brutal pirates find themselves cornered and kill the Celestial Dragon? That's not something we 'want' to see~"
