One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 239 Kneel down!

Some unknown sea area in the New World.

A red airship marked with the word "NEWS" is slowly flying in the sky.

"Have we arrived yet? Has that guy finally arrived?!"

Morgans was so excited that he paced back and forth in the cabin, flapping his wings frantically, as if he wanted to take off and fly.

Unfortunately... he can't fly.

"Yes, President! They just appeared out of nowhere! Apart from that Emperor of the Sea himself, the three top executives have all come out and are already confronting the Navy Admiral!"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!"

Morgans laughed loudly and shouted into the microphone, "Keep the live broadcast going! Activate all backup Den Den Mushi! Make sure it's a flawless broadcast; there can be absolutely no mistakes this time!"

"President!"

The second-in-command wiped away a cold sweat. "...That concerns the Celestial Dragons! Are we really going to broadcast this scene live? What if we get purged by the World Government afterward..."

"What is the problem?"

Morgans chuckled, "We only started the live stream because we heard that Admiral Kizaru led the Navy to quell the riots, so we wanted to broadcast this inspiring scene to the public!"

"As for Xia Nuo and the Curtain Fallen, they only came to cause trouble later. They were unexpected incidents that entered the camera's view without permission. What does that have to do with us?"

……

The main entrance of Chambord Park.

"It's such a headache."

Kizaru rubbed his temples, looking at Shano across from him with a troubled expression:
"The emperor of the new world, suddenly appearing here without a word? I have no desire to fight a monster like you, let alone with these guests you've brought along..."

He looked up and glanced around at Xia Nuo.

Big Bear, 6.9 meters tall, and Jack, 8.3 meters tall, stood silently on either side like bodyguards, along with the girl behind them whose swordsmanship was quite terrifying...

Such a terrifying lineup.

If another great general doesn't come, how can he handle it all by himself?
"May I ask, how exactly did you all get here?"

Kizaru couldn't help but ask in a deep voice.

Whitebeard, Kaido, Shanks, Charlotte.

And the newly promoted Xia Nuo...

For the territories of the maritime emperors, the Navy Headquarters has dispatched surveillance ships to monitor their movements year-round at the very edge of the distance.

The seven islands in the Wisteria Sea are naturally included in this list.

"Do you think I'll answer?"

Xia Nuo chuckled, his gaze sweeping across the crowd before noticing the supernovas who had been knocked unconscious. He raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

"Ok?"

Ace, Zoro, Sanji, Law, Bartolomeo...

interesting.

How did these supernovas from different eras manage to come together?

And that green-haired guy, I heard Bellemere say before that he separated from Sanji as soon as he set sail. How could he reach the end of Paradise all by himself?

"Oh? I knew it."

Kizaru had been secretly observing Xia Nuo's expression, and seeing this scene, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

The opponent's sudden arrival in the first half of the battle made it difficult to discern their intentions, so what he feared most was that the opponent would not even give him a chance to negotiate and would start fighting directly.

And now it seems...

"Your Excellency Shano seems quite interested in these little ones."

Kizaru smiled and spoke softly:
"Since that's the case, how about we make a deal? I can pretend I didn't see any of these supernovas as long as they have any connection with you, and I'll leave them all to you to deal with. In exchange, Sabaody must not be allowed to fall into chaos. Please leave after you've finished your business, how about that?"

"Oh?"

Xia Nuo glanced at him with great interest:
"A dignified Marine Admiral, actually offering to trade with pirates? This isn't like you at all, Borsalino."

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Kizaru shrugged, his tone still nonchalant, making it impossible to discern his true thoughts:
"I am indeed known for disliking trouble, but what I dislike even more is fighting battles I cannot win. Faced with an opponent like you, the best choice is naturally to avoid fighting and maintain peace."

These words were quite blunt, leaving even Sentomaru, who was standing nearby, dumbfounded.

"Huh? Grandpa! What are you saying?!"

Sentomaru put down his giant axe and turned to look at him in disbelief. "They're pirates! Pirates! As righteous marines, how can we compromise with them..."

"Shhh."

Kizaru made a shushing gesture, blinked, and said quietly:
"Sentomaru-kun, you're almost middle-aged now. It's time to step out of the naive world of a child. This ocean is very complicated. Some things can't be solved by fighting and killing alone."

“But…” Sentomaru was about to retort.

"Hey! Borsalino!"

A sharp shout suddenly broke the atmosphere, and Paladin Purminger, riding on the slave's back, approached with an impatient expression:

"You bastard, what are you dawdling about! Didn't I already tell you, I've taken a fancy to that woman, so hurry up and grab the collectible I want!"

He flicked his whip, pointing it directly at Guina, but this guy hadn't noticed the commotion here and had confused the two.

"That's right, how dare a mere admiral keep me waiting for so long!"

Charlia Palace also arrived, coldly echoing, but her gaze was quickly drawn to the bear and Jack, and she covered her mouth in surprise:
"Huh? They're so tall, could they be of giant blood? Hey, Borsalino, take down these two big guys for me too!"

He then glanced down at Xia Nuo, frowning as he said:
"As for this black-haired brat... Hmph, that look in his eyes is really unsettling. There's no need to keep him alive; just get rid of him!"

"?"

Kizaru turned around in astonishment, momentarily at a loss for words, his face darkening and his temples throbbing.

Why on earth is this happening...? How can these Celestial Dragons be so stupid?! It's one thing if they can't tell who's standing in front of them, but can't they even sense the slightest change in atmosphere?!
If he could take down these four people single-handedly, would he need to be so wary and cautious?

“Saint Purming, Charlelia Palace”.

He rubbed his face, which was contorted with anger, and forced back his rage. He turned and bowed slightly. "My lords, perhaps you have misunderstood something. This gentleman is..."

"I don't care who he is!"

Pullming Saint interrupted rudely, glaring at Kizaru before pointing his finger directly at Shano:

"To be honest, I've been quite annoyed since earlier. Before the gods, everyone should kneel, right? But what about you, and all of you—"

Seeing that the men still didn't move, he lashed out with his whip and roared, "What are you all standing there for? Now! Immediately! Kneel down and kowtow! I might even take pity on you and spare your lives!"
Snapped!
The sound of the whip cutting through the air suddenly rang out, and it was incredibly fast. However, before it could even touch Xia Nuo, the bear stepped forward, expressionlessly reached out, and grabbed her.

"Untouchable!"

Pullminger was stunned for a moment, then became furious, "You... how dare you?"

They are fellow members of the Bakaria tribe...

Kuma narrowed his eyes slightly. From the moment he started, his gaze had been fixed on the two tall slaves being used as mounts by the Celestial Dragons. Their bruised and swollen faces, their miserable state covered in blood, flashed rapidly through his mind—scenes from his experiences in the Holy Land with his father years ago…

"There's no need to worry, Bear."

Xia Nuo's calm voice came, "Do what you want to do. Even if the sky falls, I'll be there to hold it up for you."

Xiong turned and glanced at Xia Nuo, meeting his gaze in those deep black eyes before nodding.

He exhaled softly, then turned around and with a sudden burst of strength in his right hand, pulled Saint Purminger, whip and all, off the slave's back.

"what!"

Saint Purming let out a scream and fell heavily to the ground. He scrambled frantically backstage, only to meet Xiong's icy gaze. He trembled violently. "Hey! You lowly commoner! What... what are you going to do? This saint, this saint is..."

The bear ignored him and strode past him, heading straight for the two Bakalia slaves.

He lowered his head, extended his broad palm, and gently stroked the two men's scarred necks.

"Don't be afraid."

The bear smiled and spoke in a soft, gentle tone, "I've come to take you home."

Click!

The explosive collar around her neck snapped off and fell to the ground.

The two slaves looked up blankly, and after seeing the bear's appearance, they suddenly realized something, and a glimmer of light finally appeared in their cloudy eyes.

They are compatriots, they are of the same ethnicity!
Are there still members of the Baccaria tribe alive outside of Mary Geoise...?

"Be careful, take it slow."

The bear stretched out its paw and pulled the two up from the ground. Charlia, who was riding on the slave's back, was caught off guard and fell to the ground, her bubble headband tilting to one side.

"Inverted!"

She scrambled to her feet, clutching her hood as she screamed hysterically, "Rebellion! They've all rebelled! Borsalino! What are you looking at? What are you waiting for! Kill all these lowly people..."

Before he could finish speaking, a dark shadow suddenly flashed by.

Snapped!
The crisp sound of a slap echoed throughout the venue. Charlia was sent spinning and flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood, before crashing heavily into a tree trunk in the distance.

Her bubble headband shattered completely, and several broken teeth fell out along with the glass. Her once pretty face swelled up on the left side at a visible speed.

"It's really noisy."

Shano reappeared, his brows furrowed. He glanced at the female Celestial Dragon with disgust, then took the tissue Kuina handed him from behind and wiped his hands.

The entire scene fell into complete silence.

Whether it was the crowd of onlookers who had boldly gathered in the distance or the naval soldiers around them, everyone stared wide-eyed, their hearts seemed to skip a beat, and even their breaths stopped.

Hey Hey hey……

Is this for real? What did they see?
What did you see?!
The Celestial Dragons... those high and mighty, invincible world nobles, actually got a solid slap in the face?!
Do gods feel pain when they are attacked?
Countless shocked and speechless gazes converged on Xia Nuo.

This happened so fast and suddenly that no one saw clearly how he made his move.

Even Admiral Kizaru was still standing there, stunned, his right hand still scratching his head in a worried pose, seemingly completely unable to react...

"Untouchables, untouchables... filthy, lowly untouchables!"

It took Charlia Palace a while to come to her senses. She covered her swollen cheek in disbelief and screamed at the top of her lungs.

She struggled to her feet, her golden ponytail cascading down, her delicate face now contorted beyond recognition, her entire being a grotesque demon.

"How dare you! How dare you strike me with your inferior blood! Borsalino! Marines! You're all useless trash, unable to even stop a lowly commoner..."

Her screams nearly pierced eardrums, while on the other side, Pulming Saint finally snapped out of his shock.

"Damn pariah!"

With a ferocious expression, he pulled a jewel-encrusted gold pistol from his pocket, trembling as he pointed it at Xia Nuo. "Die! Go to hell!"

boom! boom! boom!
Three shots rang out in quick succession, and bullets whistled through the air.

however--

Ding!Ding!Ding!
Three crisp metallic clangs rang out as the bullets were deflected by an invisible barrier half a meter from Xia Nuo, scattering sparks.

Is it an outward display of domineering charisma that allows one to control things so effortlessly, to this extent?

Kizaru watched this clearly from the side, pursing his lower lip. This guy is already at the pinnacle of the world, but his control over Haki seems to be constantly improving with age.

"Wha...what?"

Pullminger stared wide-eyed at the scene in disbelief.

"It seems you still don't understand."

Xia Nuo sighed and walked slowly forward. The invisible pressure emanating from him made the surrounding naval soldiers swallow hard and unconsciously retreat.

If that were all, it would be fine.

Sentomaru stared in disbelief as the newly developed PX-type Pacifistas around him all took a half-step back.

Why is this happening, Uncle Vegapunk?!
"Things like gods and superior bloodlines..."

He approached Saint Purming, looking down at the Celestial Dragon slumped on the ground, a cold glint in his eyes.

"It's just your shameless self-proclaimed title; if no one believes it, then it's nothing!"

Before he could finish speaking, Shano suddenly raised his foot and stomped heavily on the wrist of the man holding the gun in Puerming.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Pullminger was in so much pain that tears streamed down his face. His wrist twisted, and the golden pistol fell to the ground with a clatter.

"Unfortunately, there are still too many people who believe in this kind of thing. Someone has to correct it eventually, so you two, you'd better..."

Xia Nuo's gaze suddenly sharpened, and a cold, crimson light flashed in his dark pupils.

boom! ! !
A terrifying burst of Conqueror's Haki erupted like a tsunami, sweeping outwards from him. The surrounding trees shook violently, and the soap bubbles floating in the sky burst instantly.

"Kneel down!"

With a cold shout, Conqueror's Haki suddenly contracted, condensing into a tangible pressure that crashed down on the two Celestial Dragons.

“Mere lowly commoners…”

Charlia Palace and Saint Purming were deathly pale, their legs trembling uncontrollably, and even their souls were shaking, as if they were being looked down upon by some supreme being.

Even though their deep-seated arrogance made them unwilling to kneel, and they could hold on for a second or two, their bodies ultimately had no choice.

"what!!!"

With a piercing scream, their kneecaps cracked violently into the ground.

They knelt respectfully in the direction of Xia Nuo.

　I overslept and didn't wake up until after 11 a.m., so the update is two hours late. Sorry.
