Rhine savored the sweetness of Nami's powder pie and waved:
"I'm going back to the ship first."
"Captain, can this female Celestial Dragon really serve us?"
Badgers pointed to Charulia Palace, who was trembling on the ground, and asked Rhine.
Rhine said nonchalantly:
"You guys are rewarded."
"Hey, thank you, Captain. It's not easy to get a taste of a Celestial Dragon."
Badgers rubbed his hands excitedly.
"Playing with this kind of trash is simply insulting to my little brother."
Rhine snorted and left the auction house.
Hearing Rhine's words, Badgers, Shiryu, Basque Choate, and others couldn't help but show expressions that men understand.
With a disheveled look on his face, Badgers walked towards the Roswald family's only survivor, Charulia Palace.
"You, you, what do you want to do?"
Charulia Palace was so frightened that her tongue got tied.
Immediately after seeing what Badgers and the others did, Morgans was completely dumbfounded.
"Is he really this crazy?"
"You, you, you did this kind of thing, do you think the World Government will let you go?!"
Charulia Palace had already guessed what this group of people wanted to do to her and roared hysterically.
If it were Rhine, she could barely accept it.
But seeing Badgers, Shiryu, and Basque Choate, each with disgustingly ugly faces, just the thought of them doing that to her made Charulia Palace so disgusted she wanted to spit out all her internal organs.
Not to mention, judging by their tone, they intended to take turns...
However, Charulia Palace was too optimistic. Although her appearance wasn't as ugly as her father and elder brother, it was nothing special. Without her Celestial Dragon status, she was just another face in the crowd.
Rhine didn't like her at all. In fact, he found her repulsive.
"Does a slave have any right to refuse?!"
Badgers smirked, twisted Charulia's neck, grabbed her, and said to Morgans with a wicked smile
Morgans felt his outlook on life collapsing. Pirates robbing civilian girls was common, but a Celestial Dragon? This was too much.
"You bloody pirates, let go immediately... uhhh!"
Soon, Charulia Palace's screams echoed in the slave auction house.
"President Morgans, don't be shy. Let me know if you want to join," Basque Choate invited while loosening his belt.
"Uh... I, I don't need it."
Morgans was already starting to regret taking this job. If these photos were published, wouldn't the World Government assassinate him?
Area 13, in Shakky's Ripped Off Bar.
"Based on the distance from Marineford to here, a Marine Admiral will be here in fifteen minutes at most," Shakky said to the Straw Hat Crew who had gathered back. "If you want to leave, now is the time, or you won't be able to."
"Got it."
After Luffy nodded, he turned and raised his fist to everyone:
"Everyone, see you in two years."
"Okay."
The crew of the Straw Hat Pirates smiled back, raised their fists, and touched Luffy's. Everyone turned and walked in different directions, waiting for the reunion to set sail again after two years.
After Nami took out Rhine's life card from her collar, she struggled with sipping the powder pie for a long time before finally running towards the drifting direction of the life card.
Ten minutes later.
Regional Seaport No. 44, Sabaody Archipelago.
Rhine's Thousand Sunny and Hancock's Perfume Snake were docked here. Additionally, there were more than a dozen ships, large and small, filled with citizens of Amazon Lily. The younger girls, inexperienced in going out to sea, observed the fearful pirates around them with curiosity on their immature faces.
"Are those men?"
"They look so ugly."
"They are so young, don't they eat well?"
"Captain, can it be said that the Celestial Dragons have been completely disgraced by this incident?" Lafitte stood behind Rhine, twirling the brim of his top hat, and smiled gloatingly.
After the Summit War, Rhine let Lafitte sneak into Mariejois again and found out that the Roswald family would come to the Sabaody Archipelago auction to buy slaves today. That's why he thought of using the lives of this family to break Hancock's demons. And after hearing that the Roswald family had a daughter who wasn't ugly, the men like Badgers started thinking about it.
Rhine didn't like things of this level, but the other male crew members on board were very interested. Among other things, the aura of "Celestial Dragon" was very attractive. So they proposed to Rhine that Charulia Palace be tied to the boat as a toy. Initially, Rhine didn't object. Now that he had more people, he started to divide the ships like the original Blackbeard Pirates, with each main cadre serving as the captain of a sub-ship. These guys kept women on board too. After all, pirates spent most of their time wandering at sea and would go to places like Happy Street to find someone when needed. It was a bit hard.
But Rhine was just about to agree when he thought of a more exciting idea: calling Morgans over to report on the trip. After all, killing Celestial Dragons was a trivial matter, but giving a Celestial Dragon girl to his men? That was something else.
At that moment, a beautiful figure ran towards them quickly. Rhine looked up; it was Nami!
"Oh? That's..."
Lafitte, Ah Auger, and the others slightly changed their expressions. Unlike the newly recruited Catarina Devon, Sanjuan Wolf, and others, they knew the relationship between the Straw Hat Pirates' Little Thieving Cat and their captain.
"Stand back, all."
Rhine couldn't help but smile and waved to his subordinates. After the crew increased, Rhine modeled the original Blackbeard Pirates to build the Sword of Xebec, driven by the main crew as captains. Like the Blackbeard Pirates' ships with huge rafts on the sides, Rhine continued to use Thousand Sunny. Compared to the Sword of Xebec, which could accommodate thousands of people, the Thousand Sunny was much smaller, accommodating at most dozens of people. Therefore, only Rhine and Perona currently lived on this ship.
To be honest, Rhine was very grateful to Blackbeard; the strategy plan he made for Impel Down was really perfect. In gratitude, Rhine built a new warship modeled after Blackbeard's pirate ship. Uh, Blackbeard probably crawled out of his grave in anger when he found out. Damn copying his idea again!
Lafitte and the others silently retreated to the Sword of Xebec. Rhine stepped down from Thousand Sunny, took the initiative to meet Nami, and hugged her in his arms.
"I knew you would come."
"You, don't think too much. I, I just want to use you to become stronger and then go back to help everyone!"
Nami said, embarrassed.
"Ah, yes, yes, whatever you say is right."
Rhine picked up Princess Nami and walked up the ladder to Thousand Sunny.
"Tsk! I'm going to have trouble sleeping again," Perona cursed full of resentment, seeing the pair getting closer.
Looks like I won't be able to sleep well from tonight.
"Rhine! Who is this shameless woman?!"
Just as Rhine picked up Nami, Hancock, who had recovered from her out-of-control emotion of killing the Celestial Dragons, walked out of the room on the Perfume Snake. Seeing Rhine and Nami being intimate, her emotions lost control again.
"Calm down, Hancock. Nami will be our companion from now on. You have to get along well, okay?"
Rhine immediately let go of Nami and comforted her repeatedly.
"She, she did that to you just now!"
Hancock pointed at Nami, shouting angrily and aggrieved.
Nami had a question mark all over her head, feeling baffled. How does it sound like I did something to this guy? Obviously, he's the one taking advantage of me, right?!
"I will move to live on this ship in the future!"
Finally, Hancock decided angrily. Perona, who was silently observing, felt even more speechless. It felt like the ship wouldn't be quiet anymore.
At this moment, the entire Sabaody Archipelago fell into unprecedented chaos. In Area 1, as well as the nearby areas, pirates and residents had long since disappeared.
Outside the slave auction in Area 1, thousands of Marines had gathered outside the gate, pointing their guns at it. Standing at the forefront of the sea soldiers was Admiral of Headquarters, Aokiji!
"It's really a troublesome job."
Aokiji scratched his head and muttered to himself. Sengoku had sent him because he had officially submitted his resignation as a marshal and recommended Aokiji as the next marshal. And now, with such a big incident, Sengoku hoped to help Aokiji gain more merit.
However, Aokiji only felt a headache. Normal Marines didn't want to have anything to do with Celestial Dragons, including Akainu. And after becoming a marshal, it was inevitable to have more contact with high-level government officials, including Celestial Dragons. Just thinking about it gave Aokiji a headache. He really didn't want to have anything to do with Celestial Dragons. If it weren't for his disapproval of Akainu's concept of justice, he wouldn't even bother to grab the throne of Marshal.
"Those inside, quickly hand over the hostages."
Although it felt tricky, it was related to the nobles of the world. Aokiji raised his voice and shouted at the auction house.
Boom!
As soon as Aokiji finished speaking, the door of the auction house was knocked open. Immediately after, something flew out. After landing, it rolled twice and landed at Aokiji's feet. It was the corpses of Saint Roswald and Saint Charlos!
The two corpses had few pieces of good skin left. Aokiji's complexion changed. Although he had heard that the three Celestial Dragons had probably been killed before he came, he didn't expect them to die so gruesomely.
However, what Aokiji couldn't imagine was yet to come. He heard a few voices behind the gate getting closer:
"Oh, isn't this Celestial Dragon woman too insensitive? It's only been a while and she's gone."
"Really, everyone said to take turns. I couldn't even use it before she died. Captain, can we go to Happy Street first after entering the New World?"
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly. Captain Rhine may be getting impatient..."
