One Piece: Blue Scale Admiral

Several guards, single-mindedly dragging a group of slaves in various poses, did not fully obey Berkeley's orders.

Clearly, Berkeley is the nominal president of this auction.

But the Don Quixote family were the real controllers behind the auction.

The eloquent Mr. Berkeley is nothing more than an employee.

Seeing that the guards were unmoved by reason, Berkeley stomped his feet in frustration.

He turned abruptly, snatched the box containing the Insect Fruit and the famous sword named Shigure from a burly guard, and ran away.

"Then you all should take good care of Doflamingo's property. I'll be going now."

"Oh, by the way, Mr. Berkeley, should you inform the young master about what happened here?"

The guards didn't stop them, but instead asked loudly and innocently.

"I will inform them. In any case, you stay here and protect the slaves!"

Berkeley cursed under his breath as he ran.

Inform Doflamingo?

I'm notifying you what the hell!

The conversation between Roswald Saint and Doflamingo at the auction made the quick-witted Berkeley realize that he had completely offended the hot-tempered young master.

Even if the Roswald family hadn't died.

My own future is also destined to be dark.

Even worse, they might be disposed of by Doflamingo after they've served their purpose.

Since that's the case, I might as well just take some of the treasures and run away on my own.

Berkeley looked at the fruit and the famous sword he was holding, and then thought of the missing mermaid, and felt a pang of pain in his heart.

"What a beautiful mermaid! If it weren't for that wretched guy Roswald interfering, I would have sold it for over a billion Berries by now."

He glanced at the golden box in his left hand, then at the famous sword in his right, and suddenly an idea flashed through his mind.

"Yeah, why don't I eat this Devil Fruit myself, take this weapon, find a safe sea area, seize a small island, and live the life of a nobleman?"

"After eating a Devil Fruit, one's strength is comparable to that of Superman. As long as one is not in a place like the Grand Line, one would definitely be a dominant force in the four seas."

With that thought in mind, Berkeley picked up the insect fruit from the box and took a bite.

He forced himself to swallow the first bite of fruit and then turned his gaze to the sea.

"Of all the seas, the East Sea is the weakest. Why not go there? Become a local tycoon and enslave those lovely country girls. Hehe, just thinking about it is exciting."

...

...

Meanwhile, news of the Celestial Dragons' deaths spread throughout every mangrove region of the Sabaody Archipelago.

In an instant, a chilling fear enveloped everyone on the island.

At that moment, slave traders, pirates, merchants, and nobles engaged in illegal business all fled at the first sign of trouble, packing up their valuables and escaping Sabaody.

Meanwhile, the ordinary residents who already lived on the island fearfully retreated to their homes, closed their doors, and awaited the arrival of the person who would decide their fate.

At Soap Bubble Park, old Tommy pushed his cart, looking around at the chaotic scene, with tourists and shop owners screaming and running away, and he was somewhat at a loss.

“I shouldn’t have been so greedy. I should have gone home last year. Margaret and Emily have been looking forward to my return for a long time.”

He touched Bailey's bulging chest again, thinking of the two sunny boys he had met earlier.

"I wonder what happened to that young man and woman. I hope I'll have the chance to see them again."

Taking a deep breath, old Tommy released his old companion, the handcart that had been with him for years, and a relieved smile spread across his face. "It's decided! I'm going home tomorrow, back to Water Seven!"

"I'll bring them some local specialties from Chambord, which will cost a little bit of Berries. But it's worth it. They'll be so happy when they see me."

"It's a pity that Yarqiman's unique bubble products will burst once they leave the island. Otherwise, I would really like to bring them a soap bubble bicycle."

"Margaret and Emily, I miss you so much!"

Old Tommy looked somewhat agitated.

Finally, I'm going home!

"Shh."

The blinding sword light tore through the sky, severed the towering mangrove trees, sliced ​​open the earth, and cut the Ferris wheel and roller coaster, which were tens of meters high, in half.

An elderly man with a crescent-shaped head and dressed in a black robe floated down from the top of the split tree canopy and stood in the soap bubble park that had been cut in two by a sword. He slowly sheathed the long sword at his waist.

"Those who flee will be killed without mercy."

Glug glug.

A handcart, now without its owner, rolled down the hillside alone and fell into the dust.

Chapter 143 Ancient Saints of Fugaran Green

"The Celestial Dragons are dead! The World Nobles have died in Sabaody! Run! Run now! The Marine Admirals and the World Government's army are coming soon!"

At the beach in Mangrove Zone 40, panicked crowds poured out from all parts of the island and rushed toward the sea.

On the shore, some people are hoisting sails.

"Hurry up! Damn it, get the job done quickly, I don't want to get caught in the crossfire!"

"The death of a world noble is an absolute catastrophe!"

"That killer is incredibly audacious! Just who is he to dare kill even a Celestial Dragon!"

Along the long coastline, everything was in chaos.

Some people are scrambling for a spot on the ship, while others are taking the opportunity to make exorbitant demands for huge sums of money.

Some unscrupulous slave traders even began openly capturing people from the crowd to enslave them.

Suddenly, someone with sharp eyes spotted a huge ship on the distant sea, its clearly visible seagull flag billowing as it approached.

"It's...it's a warship!"

"It's bad! The Navy Headquarters warships have arrived!"

"Run! It's definitely a Marine Admiral coming!"

In an instant, the once bustling coastline was deserted, with hundreds and thousands of people scattering and fleeing in all directions.

Tina was very curious. What was going on here? Why was it so chaotic?

At the bow of the warship, Tina, draped in a white cloak, looked at the scattering crowd with some confusion.

Those slave traders are one thing.

However, there seemed to be ordinary commoners and some nobles among the crowd.

There's no reason for them to run away just because they see a warship.

Just then, a weak voice came from the hillside on the shore, sounding anxious.

"Is that Lieutenant Colonel Tina? Quick, find Hibari and Rorschach! They're in danger!"

"That voice... is it Captain Trafalgar?"

Tina was startled and quickly used her Moonwalk to ascend into the air, leaping onto the grassy shore first.

Not far away, lying on the ground was a man with a weak breath. It was none other than Captain Law, whom Tina had met at Marine Headquarters.

"Are you alright? What happened?"

Tina quickly stepped forward, knelt down, and was about to check Luo's injuries.

But Luo grabbed her outstretched hand.

"Don't waste time! Go find Rorschach and Hibari. Rorschach... he might have been involved in an attack on the Celestial Dragons. You just need to ask the people who escaped, and you'll know roughly where he is. Hibari went to look for him."

"Don't let the World Government personnel take Rorschach away first, go now!"

"I...I understand! I'll go right away!"

Although she didn't know exactly what had happened, Tina could tell from Luo's anxious tone that the situation was extremely urgent.

Without the slightest hesitation, she flashed and sped towards the mangrove forest.

Tina grabbed a random passerby on the street and questioned him, finally learning what had happened.

They also learned the location where the Roswald family was attacked.

"Is that mangrove area 66 or 67? That's a bit far. Hopefully, I can make it in time!"

Sensing the intense and oppressive atmosphere around her, Tina tensed up, increasing the speed at which she stomped on the Mooncloth and shaved her feet.

...

...

Mangrove Zone No. 67.

"You bunch of useless trash! You couldn't even do a proper guard duty, causing the Roswald family to perish! You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"

Spandam, dressed in a black suit, was furiously beating his guards, whose weapons had been confiscated and who were now handcuffed by CP0.

He and dozens of CP0 members around him, all dressed in white robes, each wore magnetic shoes similar to those on Germa 66.

It is thanks to this technological equipment that they were able to jump directly off the towering red earth and arrive at the scene of the incident as quickly as possible.

When Spandam saw the Rozwald family's horribly mutilated state, he immediately knelt down and put on a heart-wrenching performance of mourning.

The sincerity and intensity of their feelings were so profound that they could be described as moving even the heavens.

Spandam probably wasn't this sad when his parents died.

The CP0 officers around them each held a wide-eyed video dennbu (snail phone), meticulously recording every detail of the scene, awaiting further investigation from the government.

Meanwhile, several mangrove areas around mangrove zones 66 and 67 were sealed off by a large number of soldiers and placed under martial law.

The guards, their hands and feet cuffed by the CP0 gate, remained expressionless, offering no defense.

Instead, they pointed at Rorschach and the CP leader lying on the ground, pleading with Spandam and the others for mercy.
