One Piece: Space-Space Fruit, Joining the Rocks Crew

On the shore, a group of slaves, having escaped death from the chaotic battlefield, stumbled and ran towards the sea.

"Look! It's a warship!" a slave pointed ahead.

A dozen or so warships were anchored in the shallow bay, their naval ensigns fluttering in the sea breeze.

For this group of people who had just escaped death, the flag symbolized order and protection.

"Hurry! Get there quickly!"

The group staggered towards the sea.

"Sir Navy officer! Please, let us escape this island too!"

The slaves knelt down on the shore, clasped their hands together, and cried for help with their last ounce of strength.

On the deck of the warship, the naval soldiers watched indifferently.

To them, these people were merely slaves, not commoners, and therefore could not receive their protection.

Just then, the doors to the warship's cabin opened.

A dozen or so Celestial Dragons filed out, standing on the ship's side, looking down at the slaves on the shore as if they were watching a group of amusing ants.

"It's so noisy." The leading Celestial Dragon, Charlmaco, picked at his ear. "Where did all these filthy slaves come from?"

Charlia, the Celestial Dragon woman beside him, covered her mouth and nose with a silk handkerchief:

"Disgusting! How dare these inferior creatures approach our ship?"

The slaves on the shore were stunned.

They recognized the attire; it belonged to the Celestial Dragons who had captured them and brought them to this hellish place, hunting them down like prey.

Charmaco Saint sneered, "The Navy!"

"Here!" The rear admiral standing nearby immediately straightened up.

"Can't you see these slaves polluting my vision?" Saint Charmaco pointed to the shore:

"Fire! Clean up this garbage!"

"Yes, sir!" The rear admiral saluted.

The cannons turned, aiming at the unarmed slaves on the shore.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in mid-air between the warship and the coast.

It was Luo Tian.

What's most suffocating is the invisible wall of gravity behind him—

Nearly two hundred Celestial Dragons, their limbs severed and eyes gouged out, were attached to it like broken dolls.

Suspended silently, it testifies to some kind of absolute power and judgment.

"That's..." The Navy Rear Admiral's pupils constricted sharply: "The pirate Luo Tian!"

Luo Tian's gaze swept calmly across the sea.

His spatial awareness had already covered the entire island.

Apart from those who had escaped to the warship, there was no trace of the Celestial Dragons on the island.

Now, it's time to close the net.

He raised his right hand, his five fingers slightly spread.

"The Guiding Force of All Things".

The next second, the Celestial Dragons on the warship were horrified to find their bodies floating up uncontrollably.

Besides the Celestial Dragons on the deck, the other Celestial Dragons in the cabins were also sucked out.

The cabin windows were shattered and the wooden doors were broken.

The Celestial Dragons screamed as they were dragged out of their comfortable safe zone by an invisible force and flown toward the black-clad figure in mid-air.

"What's going on? Guards! Guards!"

"My body... release me!"

"Navy! What are you doing! Stop him!"

More and more Celestial Dragons were being sucked out of the various warships.

Some were still clinging to the railings until their fingers were forcibly torn off.

Some tried to hide deep inside the cabin, but were dragged out along with the walls.

When they all hovered in front of Luo Tian, ​​their curses and commands turned into groans of fear.

Because at this moment, they finally saw the faces of those "human pigs" on the gravity wall.

Although they no longer have eyes, their distorted faces still reveal familiar identities.

Charmaco Saint's face turned deathly pale behind the glass case: "You...you dare..."

Luo Tian didn't look at him, but slowly clenched his right hand.

"Space - Strangulation".

Before the words were even finished, the space within a radius of 100 meters centered on Luo Tian began to shatter, recombine, and rotate.

Countless transparent fragments of space, like laser beams, precisely pierced through the bodies of every Celestial Dragon.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh—

Swish! Swish! Swish—

In an instant, whether they were just sucked out of the warship or were already hanging on the gravity wall, they were all shredded into minced meat by space.

Then, blood rained down.

A deathly silence enveloped the coast.

"Ding! Mission complete: Hunt down 200 Celestial Dragons!"

"Reward issued: Congratulations, you have obtained top-tier Conqueror's Haki!"

The system notification sounded in Luo Tian's mind, and an incomparably powerful force surged from the depths of his body.

That is the supreme color that can crush reality and awe all things with its substance.

Below, the navy men stood frozen in shock.

After an unknown amount of time, a naval soldier suddenly vomited.

Then came the second and the third.

The rear admiral's lips trembled, and he finally mustered all his strength to roar:

"Fire! All guns, fire! Target—Luo Tian!"

The order roused the numb soldiers.

A barrage of cannon fire erupted as more than a dozen warships simultaneously spewed fire from their cannons, raining down shells upon Luo Tian in mid-air.

But Luo Tian simply raised his left hand slightly.

An invisible barrier unfolded in front of him, and all the shells stopped, deformed, and finally turned into iron filings the moment they touched the barrier.

Then he drew his sword.

Swah——

A straight, massive black wave swept across the sea, passing over all the warships.

Then, more than a dozen warships were neatly broken in half.

The next moment, the explosion started at the fracture and quickly spread throughout the entire ship.

Flames engulfed the ship's hull, and shockwaves blasted the wreckage into pieces.

Luo Tian sheathed his sword, glanced at the surviving slaves on the shore, and then his figure faded away, disappearing into thin air.

On the shore, the slaves helped each other to their feet, gazing at the empty sea, sinking into even deeper despair.

"The boats... are all gone..."

"We can't escape..." the old slave knelt on the ground. "Without a ship, we will all die here."

Just then, a gentle voice sounded from behind them:

"Everyone, let me help you leave this island."

Everyone turned around and saw three figures.

"I am Bartholomew Bear." Bear walked to the front of the crowd. "These are my companions, Ivankov and Ginny. We will escort you all away from here."

Little Ivankov struck an exaggerated pose: "Don't worry! The Bear's Paw-Paw Fruit has the strongest teleportation ability!"

Little Ginny ran to a female slave, stood on tiptoe to look at the unconscious child: "Bear, send this mother and child over first."

Xiong nodded, walked up to the female slave, squatted down, and brought his line of sight to hers:

"Please tell me, where do you want to go?"

The female slave looked at him blankly: "Go...go where? Anywhere is fine as long as we get out of here..."

"Then let's go to a peaceful island," the bear said with a smile, extending his enormous hands and gently pressing them on the backs of the female slave and the child.

"Get some rest and you'll be safe when you wake up."

Bo~

With a soft sound, the two turned into specks of light and disappeared into the air.
