One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

at this time,

Area 13 of the Outlaw Zone

In Xia Qi's tavern, the proprietress Xia Qi was organizing the things Roy needed.

"Hmm! Now all that's missing are the manuals for cultivating Overpowering Qi and the Six Styles, right?"

"Thump thump thump"

The knocking interrupted Xia Qi, who was organizing the secret manual.

"Who is it?"

Upon opening the door, a middle-aged man stood outside, with short blond hair, a long knife at his waist, and a vertical scar over his left eye.

"Rayleigh! Why did you come here in person?"

"Let's go inside first and talk about it."

Rayleigh walked into the bar, opened a bottle of wine, took a big gulp of it, and then explained to Xia Qi.

"The place we're staying at this time isn't far from Sabaody Archipelago. I'm also very interested in that kid you mentioned on the phone who knows a lot of things!!"

"Did you bring what that kid needed?"

"Oh, I brought it," he said, taking two thin booklets out of his pocket.

At this moment, Roy, who was staring at the Celestial Dragons, had no idea that his mischievous teasing of Xia Qi had attracted a powerful figure like Rayleigh.

According to his perception, the auction had ended and people were leaving one after another.

Roy stood in the shadows of the alley, hearing Tezzolo's rapid breathing.

I opened my eyes and looked towards the auction house entrance.

Three members of the CP escorted Lugmas Saint out of the venue, carrying a treasure chest. The Celestial Dragon was holding the chains that bound Stella.

"Boss...we..."

"Calm down, Tesoro. Stella is still in the hands of the Celestial Dragons. Do you want to give her up? You should know what will happen if she falls into the hands of the Celestial Dragons!"

"I...I didn't mean that."

"Then shut up and stay calm."

Roy patted him on the shoulder. "Proceed according to plan. Remember your mission."

After saying that, Roy flashed and quickly disappeared into the depths of the alley.

Tesoro took a deep breath, turned around, and ran in another direction.

=======

As Rugmar was walking down the street, the passersby all knelt down upon seeing the appearance of the Heavenly Dragon, not daring to raise their heads.

"Hahaha, what a great day! Two Devil Fruits and a beautiful slave. I'll make that idiot Charlize the Elder green with envy when I get back!!"

Three CP members followed behind in a triangular formation, and the entire group slowly moved along the street. Ten minutes later, the group entered a relatively secluded street.

Suddenly, the ground in front of them exploded, and the huge noise startled the Celestial Dragons, who retreated in panic.

"Who goes there!" The last two members of the CP dropped what they were holding and instantly stood in front of the Celestial Dragon.

As the smoke cleared, Tesoro stood in the middle of the street, holding a bomb.

Release Stella!

"Damn it, damn it, damn it!" The 'Saint Lugmark' who had just stood still jumped up in anger. "That lowly wretch dared to attack me! I'll kill him! I'll make his whole family my slaves!"

"CP, go and capture that guy for me."

Upon hearing the Celestial Dragons' command, the three members of CP exchanged glances. Two of them immediately rushed towards Tesoro, while the other remained in place on guard.

Tesoro hurriedly threw the bomb at the two couples and turned to run into the alley. However, the difference in strength was too great, and the bomb he threw was knocked away by the arriving couples before it could explode.

Just as he turned around, his partner, who had caught up, punched him hard in the back, sending him flying and crashing into the wall.

"You dare to attack a Celestial Dragon with such meager skills?" one of the fans sneered. "You're truly courting death."

Roy, sensing the situation with his Observation Haki, quietly approached the Celestial Dragon as the two other characters rushed out. When Tesoro was knocked away, the third character, sensing the situation, relaxed his vigilance.

"Whoosh~~"

Roy instantly appeared beside the CP with a powerful kick, delivering a vicious elbow strike to the back of the head, knocking him down. He then turned and subdued Lugmark Saint.

Just as Roy knocked down this CP member, the sound of the CP falling to the ground also caught the attention of the other two members.

"Damn it, this kid is bait."

The two immediately abandoned Tesoro and planned to rush back to the Celestial Dragons.

"Don't move, CP."

Roy drew his pistol and aimed it at Rugmar's head.

"Kids, put down your guns! How dare you attack Tianlong? Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Roy acted too quickly. After Roy pointed the gun at the Celestial Dragon, Lugmark Saint finally reacted. Seeing that he was being held at gunpoint, he didn't remain quiet like an ordinary person. Instead, he struggled and shouted.

"You damned wretch, how dare you touch the great Celestial Dragon with your filthy hands! I will execute you!"

As expected of the Celestial Dragons, having always controlled the world and living in a high and mighty position, they have no idea what fear is. Even with a gun pointed at them, they do not believe that anyone would dare to harm them.

"Quiet down, you idiot."

Roy felt that this Celestial Dragon had no idea who was in control of the situation. Seeing that he was still struggling and cursing, Roy directly delivered a knee strike. The Celestial Dragon, who had never been hurt before, rolled his eyes and glared at him.

"Phew, finally it's quiet."

Seeing that the Lugmark Saint in his hand had fainted, Roy shouted to Tesoro, who was still lying on the ground.

"Hey! How long are you going to lie there?"

Tesoro seized the opportunity to get up and walk towards Roy. The CP members standing to the side, seeing the Celestial Dragon being controlled, did not dare to stop him at all.

Normally, if a Celestial Dragon is attacked, they would be punished upon their return. However, if a Celestial Dragon dies in front of them, their families would also be implicated.

"Please stop harming Saint Lugmark. You can name whatever you want."

"Oh, so you're being so polite? Then, please hand over the key to the slave collar."

"It's on the guy you knocked down."

The two CP members looked at their unconscious colleague with resentment. If this guy hadn't failed to protect her, they wouldn't be in this passive situation now.

Sensing their emotions, a sneer flashed in Roy's eyes. He simply didn't want to waste time and cause too much of a commotion.

Stella, who was standing to the side, finally snapped out of her shock and looked at everything that was happening in front of her. When she saw that the person approaching was Tesoro, a glimmer of light returned to her bewildered face.

"Stella, I've come to save you!!"

"Alright! Now is not the time for catching up. Let's hurry up and find the key, then head to the agreed-upon meeting place."

Upon hearing this, Tesoro hurriedly retrieved the key from the CP on the ground and excitedly stepped forward to unlock the collar around Stella's neck.

Stella, you are free!!!

"Thanks"

"Hmph! Now that you've rescued that woman, you can release Saint Rugmark now, right?"

"Of course, but I have to wait for my companion to leave first."

Upon hearing Roy's words, Tesoro immediately pulled Stella up, grabbed the box that CP had just left behind, and ran away into the distance.

"Goodbye, Ghana!"

Seeing that the two had safely evacuated, Roy smiled, raised his pistol, then tossed the Celestial Dragon to the two CP members before disappearing in a flash.

After catching the Celestial Dragon who flew over, they checked Lugmark Saint's injuries and found that he was only unconscious.

"Should we pursue them or not?" one of the couples asked.

"First, ensure Lord Lugmark's safety here. Those brats can't have gone far. I'll report to the World Government immediately, and let the Navy handle the follow-up issues."
