Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"But the Celestial Dragons..."

"The Celestial Dragons have already been sent flying by our captain. If you don't come back to do business soon, I'll send you flying too!"

Before joining the crew, Bonney was a pirate supernova and a troublemaker.

The shop owner was almost in tears.

This is a threat, isn't it? This is definitely a threat!

Perona clapped her hands lightly, and several white ghosts floated out from behind her, hovering in the air above the street, making a "ha-ha-ha-ha" sound.

"Come back right now, or you'll be punished by having to play with my ghost."

The ghosts deliberately made all sorts of funny faces, scaring several shop owners who were hiding so much that they scrambled out of the shop.

After a round of coercion and bribery, the shops finally reopened.

Bai Xing tilted her head. "But Sister Bonnie, we don't have any money. Why were they willing to open the door?"

Her voice was innocent and naive, yet it left the shop owners, who had just opened the door, completely stunned.

Yes, that's right.

Will these scoundrels just rob us?

Bonney pulled a handful of gold coins from her pocket and weighed them in her hand. "Who said we don't have money? When has the Straw Hat Pirates ever bought anything without paying? Nami said it's a bottom line principle."

The shop owners looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Four Emperors' pirate crew actually talks about fair trade?

This is completely different from the pirates they've heard of!

However, after seeing the gold coins, the shopkeepers' legs stopped shaking.

A fool wouldn't take the money!

After walking for a while, everyone couldn't take it anymore. After all, the ship was 10,000 meters long, and it would take a long time to walk on foot.

"I'm exhausted."

Carrot's rabbit ears drooped, and she panted with her tongue lolling out.

Bonnie was even more direct, sitting down on the ground. "I can't take it anymore, I don't want to move an inch. How can this ship be so big?"

Perona, floating in the air, had no objections, but looking at the two exhausted guys on the ground, she couldn't help but sigh, "That's why I said it's just so-so. There's not even anything to get around in. What kind of entertainment center is this?"

Just as a group of people were looking worried, the roar of an engine came from the end of the street.

"Hey everyone!"

Everyone looked up and saw Luffy driving a car toward them.

It was a large sightseeing vehicle with a unique design. The body was painted gold and decorated with various flamboyant gemstone patterns, making it look like a local specialty of the Golden City.

Instead of an engine, the cart was pulled by four creatures that looked like giant bulldogs. They were wearing bridles and were panting heavily as they ran, looking quite energetic.

Luffy sat in the driver's seat, holding the reins in one hand and waving at them with the other, his smile as bright as if he had found a treasure.

He did indeed find the car.

Luffy originally went to find Tesoro, but after wandering around, he couldn't find him.

The main reason is that he doesn't know that guy. If he could meet him once and lock onto his aura, it would be much easier to find him.

Instead of finding Tezzolo, they found this car parked on the side of the road.

After fiddling with it for a bit, Luffy drove it all over town looking for people.

What is this?

Bai Xing was very curious. She reached out and gently poked one of the bulldogs with her finger. The dog got annoyed by the poking and turned around to snort at her.

Bai Xing was sprayed with hot steam, but instead of laughing, she chuckled, "The thing pulling the cart is actually an animal!"

"Luffy, where did this car come from?" Perona floated over to his side and asked.

"there,"

Luffy pointed to a street behind him, "It was parked over there. It looked like nobody was driving it, so I drove over."

"Isn't this stealing?"

"If no one opens it, it's not stolen, it's found." Luffy said confidently.

Perona thought about it and realized that the logic sounded somewhat familiar.

Whatever, whatever the captain says goes.

"Get in the car!"

Bonnie leaped to her feet and was the first to jump into the car. "If we don't leave now, I'm going to die on this street."

Everyone climbed onto the car.

Carrot sat down next to him, curiously tugging at the ear of a bulldog. "It really can run by itself, without anyone telling it to."

Luffy insisted on trying human driving, so he pulled on the reins, and the four bulldogs quickly started running, carrying the Straw Hat Pirates girls forward in a grand procession.

"Hey, hey, hey, that's too fast, Luffy!"

"It's going to crash! It's going to crash!"

The streets were in complete chaos.

Chapter 528 Who are you going to kill?

Guran Tezolo.

This colossal ship, over 10,000 meters long and touted as the world's largest entertainment city, is currently engulfed in unprecedented chaos.

Tesoro hung up the Den Den Mushi, his face full of anger, veins bulging on his arm, and slammed the Den Den Mushi to the ground.

"A bunch of old foxes, are they really this afraid of the Four Emperors?"

He glared angrily at the white-clad agents standing before him. These were not ordinary agents, but the elite CP0, the top combat force of the secret intelligence agency directly under the World Government, who were supposed to be responsible for protecting the Celestial Dragons.

Now, the fate of the Celestial Dragon lying on the ground is unknown, while the CP0 members who should have fought to the death to protect their master have only one thing on their minds.

Run away.

Those high and mighty guys from the World Government, who usually arrogantly accept his offerings, pat their chests and promise to protect Gran Tesoro's safety forever.

Those Celestial Dragons treated this place like their own backyard, coming and going as they pleased, and they were even more skilled at the slave trade than he was.

What now?

The moment one of the Four Emperors stepped onto the ship, these guys shrank back faster than turtles.

"Quickly prepare a ship for us to leave and get us out of here! The Straw Hat Pirates are here; it's no longer safe!"

The lead CP0 agent urged them on.

Even if the Celestial Dragons get beaten up, there's nothing anyone can do.

It's not that we don't want to get involved, but that we're afraid to.

The name Straw Hat Luffy has now become a taboo subject within the entire World Government.

One of the Five Elders, Satan Sanctuary, was replaced because of that man.

Those are the Five Elders!

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, Saint Satan did fight Straw Hat Luffy once and was subsequently replaced. Moreover, no one has seen Saint Satan since, leading many to speculate that he might have actually died after returning to the Holy Land.

Wouldn't that mean he died at the hands of Straw Hat Luffy?!

Tesoro laughed in exasperation.

Not safe?

You guys are CP0, you bastards!

Isn't your existence precisely for protecting the Celestial Dragons in times like these?

"Heh, trying to leave?"

Tezzolo sneered, crossed his legs, and leisurely looked at the white-clad agents in front of him.

He has no intention of agreeing to this request.

The World Government is so afraid of the Straw Hat Pirates that they didn't dare utter a sound when the Celestial Dragons were killed, and they didn't even plan to send the Navy.

What do you mean by saying that the main force of the navy is currently deployed at the World Conference and there are no manpower available?

Why didn't you say this before!

In the past, if any pirate dared to lay a finger on a Celestial Dragon, a Marine Admiral would descend from the sky in a heartbeat. Kizaru, that Flashy Guy, arrived faster than anyone else.

Things changed starting from the Sabaody Archipelago. Several Celestial Dragons died, but the World Government managed to suppress the incident, claiming it was collateral damage caused by the Impel Down riots.

These casualties are quite interesting.

No wonder more and more people are outwardly compliant but inwardly defying the World Government; how much money has Tesoro spent over the years?

Hundreds of millions of pegories? Billions of pegories? Or even more?

Countless.

The annual offerings to the Celestial Dragons, the bribes to World Government officials and high-ranking Navy officers, and the favors given to various departments of the World Government, combined, could probably buy several small countries.

Every time those Celestial Dragons came here, he paid for all their food, drinks, and entertainment, and also gave them all sorts of rare and precious treasures as gifts.

One guy named Saint Charles alone takes hundreds of millions of Berries in tribute from him every year.

But that guy died.

Good riddance!

And now, after something goes wrong, they want to run away?

"I'm so sorry."
