Chapter 8: A Wild Tenryubito Appears, Activate the System!

"Yes... those people are here!" 

"Why are these guys here again?!" 

"Shh, do you want to die? Shut up and kneel!" 

"If you want to live, kneel and bow your head, don't bother them..." 

(T/N: I only translate, but when people see a Tenryubito in One Piece, they immediately kneel without comments, just internal thoughts.) 

When the shouts ceased, a group of figures appeared at the intersection of the street and began to walk slowly down the street. 

The normally bustling streets fell silent almost instantly. 

The next moment, the sound of kneeling was incessant, and people all along the street knelt on both sides of the road. 

Even those eating in roadside restaurants and shopping in clothing stores hurried out, knelt on both sides, and "welcomed" the people coming. 

Everyone's movements were surprisingly consistent: they all knelt on the ground, heads bowed, not daring to make a sound. 

Even the sound of breathing was controlled with extreme care by everyone. 

Out of fear of losing their lives for the slightest mistake! 

The people who can instill such fear and make others abandon their dignity... 

Are none other than the Tenryūbito! 

Eight hundred years ago, twenty royal families unified the world, established the World Government, and became the pinnacle of the pyramid in these seas. 

And the Tenryūbito are descendants of those twenty kings! 

"Lowly servant, hurry up! If you delay the auction, I'll throw you into the beast arena!" 

At the end of the street, a tenryūbito with a transparent hood, as if wearing a space suit, and with a large snot, held a whip and kept hitting the "mount" beneath him. 

It's called a mount, but by all appearances, it is a human being, treated like a beast of burden, with various installations like seats attached to him. 

The act of treating people like animals, alive! 

Seeing this scene, many people kneeling on both sides of the road were furious! 

You know, the people who gather here the most are not the original inhabitants of the Sabaody Archipelago, but real pirates! 

Do you dare to sail the seas and compete without having hot blood? It's normal to get angry seeing this scene! 

However, even the lawless pirates had no choice but to kneel obediently before the tenryūbito 

Getting angry is one thing, but openly courting death is another! 

They cannot risk angering the tenryūbito, as they would be the ones to suffer the consequences, not daring to resist, even their distant families back home would not be spared if the tenryūbito actively sought revenge! 

Moreover, the Sabaody Archipelago is quite close to the Marine headquarters, and if something happens to the Tenryūbito here, a Marine Admiral could arrive within minutes! 

In that case, it would be all over, and many people would be implicated. 

Therefore, even pirates, as illegal as they are, have to follow this tacit rule, and no one wants to face monsters like the Admirals... 

"So these idiots came, no wonder there's such a commotion." 

At a table by the roadside in a tavern, Karl looked at the tenryūbito. 

Walking slowly in the distance and cursed with a disgusted expression on his face. 

"Zehahaha, don't underestimate these idiots, Karl. They're trash who think they're nobles, but they have the biggest backing, the World Government, and consequently the Marines." 

Across the table, Blackbeard smiled and responded to Karl's words. 

Apparently, both of them were also extremely disgusted by the so-called "World Nobles"! 

"...!" 

The conversation between them reached the ears of some locals and pirates kneeling nearby. Suddenly, everyone was stunned and shocked! 

They discovered that there were two daring people who did not kneel with the crowd but sat at the table and drank as if nothing was happening! 

Moreover, how much contempt do they feel for the tenryūbito to insult them in such a manner? 

"What nonsense, kneel down!" 

"You two, do you want to die? Saint Leschar will come later, don't get us in trouble, kneel and then talk!" 

A pirate not far from Karl, with tearful eyes, kept urging Karl in a low voice, afraid of being implicated and losing his head. 

That is, their side is far from the street, and the Tenryūbito haven't noticed them yet. If they are seen, they will definitely not escape being killed! 

"Saint Leschar? Is that the name of that filthy pig? Kneel before this pig? Stop joking!" 

Hearing this, Karl curled his lips in disdain. Asking him to kneel before a tenryūbito as a transmigrant. Isn't it pure nonsense? 

His dignity is firmly anchored in the 21st century! 

[Ding dong, the host encounters a Celestial Dragons event, a random choice task has been activated!] 

Just after Karl responded, the system notification appeared! 

[Option 1: Rebuke and kill the Tenryūbito. What are you? Trash dragon dog, how dare you make me kneel! Reward: Advanced understanding of Conqueror's Haki at the level of the Four Emperors, 'Conqueror's Infusion!'] 

[Option 2: Track and kidnap the Tenryūbito and extort them for rare Devil Fruits! Reward: Douglas Bullet's "Descendant of the Devil" physique card and Advanced Armament Haki learning: 'Emission!'] 

[Option 3: Hide your presence, escape directly, be a decent person and don't cause trouble. Reward: Advanced Observation Haki 'Heart Network!'] 

(T/N: The last one refers to Enel's Observation Haki which could listen to everything happening on Skypiea Island) 

"Damn, this can also activate system missions!" 

Hearing the constant sound in his mind, Karl was surprised at that moment! 

In an instant, the image of the Tenryūbito in his heart changed drastically. How could they be an annoying pig? They are obviously a stroke of luck, a diamond around the corner! 

However, the missions assigned by the system are still simple and straightforward... 

After arriving in the world of pirates for more than ten days, this is only the second time Karl has encountered a mission released by the system, and he hasn't fully adapted to the style of this strange system for a while. 

"Brother Karl, I think we should leave first. Zehaha, your real plan hasn't been carried out, it's not worth making such a fuss..." 

"But I can't kneel before that trash. Let's avoid them for a while and deal with them when we have more power!"
