The Great Voyage Begins with the Celestial Dragons

Luther's gaze met Tesoro's eyes, and his Conqueror's Haki unconsciously emanated from him.

"Want to guess how much I paid to buy Stella?"

"How much..."

As Tezzolo gazed at Luther's noble bearing, he murmured to himself:

"One million? No, that's too little. Ten million? No, that's still too little... Yes, that's the amount, one hundred million!!!"

Tezzolo's face flushed when he announced the number.

It seems that only this number represents his unattainable status and his perception of Stella's value.

"Not!"

Luther's sales pitch shattered Tesoro's illusions.

"Impossible, it can't possibly be higher than that!"

Tesoro stared intently at Luther. Luther wasn't wearing Celestial Dragon clothes today; he had just arrived from elsewhere and didn't recognize him.

Luther's lips curled slightly, and he shook his head gently.

Haval, standing to the side, seemed to understand something. He glanced at Tezzo with a mocking look, his face full of disdain, and said:

"It's 0!"

"How is that possible?! Why doesn't it need money?!" Tesoro's eyes widened.

“Of course not,” Haver interrupted Tezzolo, scoffing. “Some people don’t need money to buy things. But for some things, money alone isn’t enough.”

"Impossible... How could this be... Even Stella can be bought with money, so how can there be anything we can't buy? How is this possible..."

Tesoro cupped his face in his hands and knelt on the ground, utterly distraught.

He was born into a poor family, and no one understood the importance of money better than him.

The stolen money could keep him from going hungry, and the robbed money could give him a sense of satisfaction in the casino.

In order to buy Stella, he completely turned over a new leaf, worked hard for three years to save money, and almost didn't eat or drink, just to save up the money to buy her.

Now someone is telling him that someone bought Stella without needing any money.

Then wouldn't everything he's done over the past three years become a joke?

"Foolish, pathetic wretch."

Haver glanced pityingly at Tesoro, who was being used as a source of amusement by the Celestial Dragons, and then scoffed mercilessly.

Amidst the jeers and laughter, Luther glanced at the nearly broken Tesoro and knew the time was almost up:

"Remember my name, Don Quixote Luther Saint! You inferior man, live humbly in your own fantasy world."

With a dismissive remark, Luther turned away and drove Quinn into the boutique.

The others glanced at Tesoro, who was kneeling on the ground, with varying expressions, and then followed Luther into the store.

"Saint..."

Upon hearing the suffix to Luther's name, Tesoro's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of fear in them.

Celestial Dragons!

He hadn't expected that the other party was a Celestial Dragon.

However... even the Celestial Dragons...

Tezzolo clenched his fists and slammed them hard on the ground, his knuckles bleeding but he didn't stop.

His lowered face was now incredibly ferocious, as if it were filled with endless malice.

So what if they're Celestial Dragons!

He may be born into nobility, but one day he will stand above the Celestial Dragons and take everything back from them!

Tesoro suddenly raised his head and gazed at Stella's back with gentle eyes for a while.

Immediately afterwards, his gaze seemed to devour people, staring intently at Luther's back, a mixture of hatred and malice, deeply imprinting the other man in his heart.

Inside the boutique, Luther's glance signaled Gion to lower her hand from the hilt of the sword.

"Your Highness, I don't understand."

"Just looking for an interesting opponent, hopefully he'll amount to something in the future," Luther said nonchalantly.

“Well, killing is just a matter of beheading, Your Highness. You are frighteningly skilled in this area. No wonder Robin thinks so little of you,” Gion laughed.

"Come on, I've never been highly regarded by her. She's practically thinking I'm the ultimate villain in the world," Luther said irritably.

"Hehe, I used to think it was an exaggeration, but now I think it's true."

Gion's red lips curled up, and she kept her voice down, only letting the few people around them hear.

She wouldn't do anything out of line in front of outsiders.

"Your Highness, we have arrived!"

Haver led Luther and the others to a lavishly decorated room. The spacious room had a huge crystal chandelier in the center, and luxurious-looking sofas and chairs were placed around it. In the center was a huge coffee table with a variety of snacks and desserts on it.

After leading Luther and the others to their seats, Haver bowed respectfully and presented a tray with several video Den Den Mushi (snail phone devices) on it.

"Your Highness, this contains all the goods in the shop. Please take a look."

"Give it to Gion."

Luther did not reach out, but glanced at Gion beside him.

He didn't particularly care about these ordinary slaves.

If there were truly good items, they wouldn't have appeared on that list, and Gion wouldn't have missed them.

In terms of vision, Luther still believed in Gion.

After all... when Luther gave Tengetsu a meaningful look, she was completely baffled.

Haval bowed respectfully again before slowly retreating to Gion's side. After handing over the image insect, he stepped aside to a spot where he could hear no sound from their side but could still see them greeting him.

After Gion received the video Den Den Mushi, she pulled Amatsuki Toki along to choose one.

In this regard, she can only select people based on their appearance and abilities, but the number of people and their professional skills required still need Tianyue Shi's help.

The two watched the image insect together, nodding or shaking their heads repeatedly, whispering among themselves.

Chapter 129 Stella's Talent

"Your Highness Luther!"

On the other side, Stella knelt beside Luther, a sweet smile on her face.

"How do you maintain your daily mood? Is it because of that person, or does it come from your own heart?" Luther suddenly asked.

Seeing Stella's hesitant look, Luther gave Quinn a wink.

Quinn grinned, glanced at Stella, and said in a threatening tone:

"Don't even think about lying to His Highness. You might not know this, but strong people have the ability to detect lies; they can tell the truth from falsehood just by listening. If you're lying..."

He deliberately left out the second half of his sentence, believing that this would be the most damaging.

Now, he's actually starting to feel familiar with, and even enjoy, being a lackey of the Celestial Dragons.

Compared to that, being Kaido's third-in-command is incredibly boring. The eldest and second-in-command are both simpletons who only know how to drink and train, and all sorts of miscellaneous tasks fall on their shoulders. There's no fun in it at all.

Unlike now, where everyone worships them wherever they go, and they can do whatever they want with the power of the Celestial Dragons.

Even if you scold the Fleet Admiral at the Navy Headquarters, the other party will have to let you scold him with a face full of resentment.

and many more...

As Quinn was thinking this, a bold idea suddenly came to him...

It must have felt incredibly satisfying for a former pirate to be able to openly insult the Fleet Admiral...

Of course, this thought only flashed through his mind for a moment, and he wouldn't dare to do anything rash unless Luther gave him a hint.

After a moment of contemplation, Stella replied with a relieved expression:

"It's partly because of that gentleman; his spirit of working so hard towards his goals moved me. And partly because I've come to terms with it myself. No matter what, a day is still a day, and facing everything with a smile is always better than having a long face."

"You have a good mindset, that's quite an awareness." Luther looked at Stella with appreciation.

"Because I've figured it out, my singing has become even more beautiful! Your Highness Luther, I'm a useful person!"

Stella winked at Luther and gave him a beautiful smile.

She had been in a slave shop since she was very young and had seen all sorts of people.

There are people who appear respectable on the surface but are corrupt inside; there are also people who appear slovenly on the surface but are kind-hearted.

After spending only a short time with him, she had a general idea of ​​Luther's personality.

Or perhaps she had already guessed something just by seeing the distance between Luther, Gion, and the others sitting on Quinn.

This is a special Celestial Dragon who is indifferent to outsiders but values ​​his own people.

This is why she felt a sense of anticipation after Luther chose her.

If she wants to be valued, she first needs to make the other person feel that she is a useful person, and preferably different from others.

If she guessed correctly, then Luther would be the destination she had always dreamed of, no... even a beautiful dream she never dared to imagine.

"Is it just singing?"

Looking into Stella's bright, all-seeing eyes, Luther murmured something meaningful.

His words left Stella looking bewildered.

Stella herself didn't know what other abilities she had besides her looks and singing talent.

But looking at Luther's expression, she seemed to understand something for a moment, and subconsciously said:

"Your Highness, are you referring to my ability to judge people?"

For some reason, she was able to read the meaning behind Luther's expression just now.

"Indeed, we've found a gem in the rough," Luther remarked.
