One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

……

Kallian Saint stared blankly at the burly head of the CP0 man, who lay dead with his eyes wide open.

Warm blood flowing from the burly man's head was sliding down Kallian's contorted face.

His armpits and back were instantly soaked with sweat, cold sweat poured out, his whole body became stiff, and he felt cold all over.

Kallian Saint's lips began to tremble and his mind went blank, leaving only the purest, most trembling fear etched into his very bones.

Looking at Kiro, who resembled a devil, he lost his balance, swayed twice, then his eyes rolled back, and he immediately fainted, losing consciousness.

"..."

Kiro shook his head, casually tossed aside the CP0 burly man's head, and dusted himself off.

After looking around, he saw the same terror on the faces of the other Celestial Dragons.

These ugly outcasts, who neglected physical training and considered themselves nobles, trembled like leaves when faced with a life-or-death crisis, their legs shaking uncontrollably, showing none of their haughty demeanor.

Kilo's eyes turned cold. He sighed, pondered for a moment, and then flipped the long, narrow Dragon Slayer sword in his hand downwards.

To the astonishment of Beg and the other Celestial Dragons, he plunged the Dragon Slayer sword in his hand straight into Calian Saint's right leg.

"ah!!!!!!"

The agonizing screams, like those of a pig being slaughtered, rang out again, so loud that they startled several small birds in the nearby garden.

Calian Saint suddenly awoke from his coma, his face deathly pale, his entire body convulsing and spasming from intense pain.

Blood gushed from his right leg, flowing down to the ground and quickly forming a pool of blood.

Kiro drew the Dragon Slayer Sword, picked up a piece of expensive cloth from the sedan chair beside him, and disdainfully wiped the bloodstains off the sword.

Only after ensuring the sword had regained its gleam did he turn his gaze back to Kallian Saint, who was clutching his leg and howling in agony.

"I'll ask a question, and you'll answer it."

Kiro glanced at the wound on Kallian Saint's thigh.

"This is a warning... If I don't hear a satisfactory answer, the next one will be your heart."

"Did you understand?"

Kallian Saint's features were contorted in excruciating pain. He gritted his teeth and nodded with the last vestiges of his sanity.

He was more concerned with saving his life than with the pain he was in.

After what had just happened, he no longer doubted whether the swordsman in front of him would dare to actually attack him.

That clear killing intent clearly indicated...

They really will kill him!!!

Seeing the other party's reaction, Kilo nodded in satisfaction.

"Tell me, is it true that the slave auction has been moved up?"

Kallian Saint was taken aback, and dared not be negligent in the slightest, and immediately spoke:

"Yes, it's true!"

He suppressed the pain that nearly made him faint again, his voice strained.

"I don't know why, but the auction time was suddenly changed to tonight."

Kiro raised an eyebrow. "What about the slaves? Where are they now?"

Terrified by the life-or-death crisis, Kallian Saint had no time to guess Kiro's intentions and hurriedly added:

"They're still in the slave warehouse, just west of the residential area, but they'll be gathered and taken to the auction this afternoon!"

"I really don't know the specifics... Please don't kill me!"

"I'll give you everything you want! Fame, money... I can even give you a Devil Fruit!"

Upon noticing that Kilo seemed somewhat moved, Calian Saint quickly pointed to the magnificent carriage.

"The Devil Fruits I just collected are inside!"

"If you want it, I can give it to you!"

Kiro didn't say anything, walked to the carriage, and sure enough, found a huge Devil Fruit inside.

Its shape is bizarre, like a deformed fruit covered with spiral patterns.

Kiro stroked his chin, and for some reason felt that this fruit looked somewhat like...

One ear?

He weighed the fruit in his hand, then looked at Kallian Saint. "What kind of fruit is this?"

Kallian Saint's face was deathly pale from blood loss, giving him a somewhat eerie appearance. "I... I don't know either..."

His voice grew weaker and weaker, "Please...please let me go..."

When faced with Calian Saint's plea, Kiro remained silent and instead looked at Beg standing to the side.

"Keep an eye on them, I'm going to make a phone call."

All the powerful guards have now been dealt with by Kiro, and these Celestial Dragons, who are powerless, are naturally no match for Beg.

Without the slightest hesitation, Bege immediately nodded, his sharp eyes sweeping over the Celestial Dragons.

When he saw Kallian Saint, a murderous glint flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, a hint of appreciation appeared in Kiro's eyes. He then walked to the side and took out a Den Den Mushi.

"Brubru!"

The Den Den Mushi (snail phone) started ringing.

Just a few seconds later, the Den Den Mushi was answered.

"Hey? Kiro? This is Ivankov. Our troops are ready."

"Do you have any new intelligence?"

Kilo spoke solemnly, taking a deep breath.

"Ivankov... the slave auction has really been brought forward! All the slaves will be moved to the auction house this afternoon, and things will get very complicated then."

"We don't have much time left; now is the best time to act!"

"There's no time to say more. Once you make your move, I'll hold off the powerful figures inside!"

"We must do it as soon as possible!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the Den Den Mushi.

Soon, Ivankov's serious voice reappeared.

"Alright, let's launch the all-out attack!"

Through the Den Den Mushi, Kiro could vaguely hear the sounds of mobilization and gathering on the other end.

"Kilo, we'll reach the outer perimeter in about ten minutes and begin the operation!"

Take care of yourself!!!

Kilo nodded, hung up the call with the general offensive force, and dialed another number.

Soon, a slightly hoarse voice came from it.

"Kilo?"

It was the voice of Monkey D. Dragon, and in the background, one could faintly hear a huge rumbling sound, as well as the sound of air rushing past.

I'm afraid the other party isn't in such a relaxed situation right now.

Kilo took a deep breath and quickly reported the intelligence he had just received, as well as his order to launch a general offensive, to the other side.

The dragon remained silent for a brief moment.

"..."

"Alright, let's get started now!"

"However, I can only hold off Garp and Sengoku at most right now. You need to act quickly, otherwise, once the matter is exposed to the Navy, the three admirals on standby will arrive at the scene immediately."

"Furthermore, there's a high chance there are other powerful individuals in Mary Geoise, so you must be careful!"

The dragon's tone was more solemn than ever before.

"Never risk your life. If things get really bad... retreat immediately!"

Kilo nodded in response, then suddenly changed the subject.

"Dragon, I have a question."

"What would happen if I killed a Celestial Dragon?"
