Chapter 47

Meanwhile, on the Sabaody Island.

Sabaody is home to one of the largest mangrove forests in the world — the Yarchiman Mangrove.

Because the tree roots are constantly in water, and due to their almost indestructible vitality, the seeds of the large trees have taken root again, and over time the entire forest has formed the Sabaody Islands.

The roots of the Yarchi Mangrove exude a special natural resin, which, expanding due to air, forms bubbles that rise into the sky, and these bubbles burst once they leave the island's climate.

This makes this unique island a natural wonder in the world.

Since Mary Geoise, the sacred land of the Red Line continent, is behind it, this also makes Sabaody Island the backyard of the Celestial dragons.

Of course.

It's also where Shiki rested during the construction of the pirate ship.

From No.1 GR to No.29 GR.

Shops for human trafficking, without jurisdiction.

Sales Hall.

A warrior woman from the Amazon Lily, Fuya, said: "Lord Shiki, they said on the phone that the ship is built and can set sail today!"

Shiki: "Ah? So fast! Has my brother arrived?"

"Still on the way back," Fuya replied.

"Then there's no rush, it's my first time at an auction, and I will leave after buying this!"

"Yes, Lord Shiki."

At the auction hall, not only people but also Devil Fruits are traded.

This time, one fruit will be auctioned.

In their early years, the brothers started their business when they accidentally acquired a devil fruits

Shiki still places great importance on Devil Fruits.

Soon the auctioneer took the stage: "The next lot is the secret treasure of the sea! After identification, it's a devil fruit! Starting price—100 million berries!"

With the auctioneer's introduction, the participants in the hall immediately became excited.

"It's a Devil Fruit! Wow! It that isn't bad!"

"Do you know any specific information?"

"Information about Devil Fruits isn't published; the auction is entirely dependent on luck and also on future development!"

Superman?

A Door Fruit?

Shiki didn't fully understand the specific abilities of this fruit.

But people came from deserted islands, and they had quite a lot of money.

Hundreds of millions of berries were taken.

"120 million berries!"

Fuya raised a bidding card.

In a short time, this Door Fruit was called 220 million berries at the venue.

At this price, Shiki also feels pain in his heart.

At Shiki's direction, Fuya raised the bidding card again: "300 million berries!"

And just as she announced the price, a man in a black suit approached: "Hey, hey, who are these scum, do you know who you are bidding against? It's Saint figurland Leonex! No matter how cheeky you are, you'll be sent to prison as a slave!"

"What the?"

Shiki didn't even glance at the newcomer: "Tell this creature to leave!"

Shhh—

Shiki's words fell, and the hall became as silent as death.

No one ever expected that on the Sabaody Archipelago, someone would dare to call a world noble Dragon a creature.

Moreover, he told him to leave.

Has this kid who looks like a golden retriever gone mad?

Where did this country bumpkin come from, does he not know the name of the Celestial dragon?

They are a race of gods, coded as sacred!

Although Saint Figurland Leonex was wearing a glass helmet, he clearly heard Shiki's words.

He snorted, and an immense amount of anger appeared in his eyes.

This invincible—there is only one word—death!

Of course, the Dragons, who never regarded other beings as human, naturally have their vile tastes, and they enjoy subjecting those thought invincible to psychological and physical abuse.

"600 million berries!!!"

The people around Leonex immediately raised their bidding cards.

The hall fell silent once again.

Nima, the Superman Devil Fruit is worth 600 million berries!

It's like a pig!

But when I think about it, it seems fitting for a Dragon; their financial power is the greatest in the world, and for any item they desire, there's nothing they can't obtain, regardless of cost. For the world nobles, it's just a drizzle.

This price certainly exceeded Shiki's expectations.

The auction house is not the sea, and it's better to follow the rules when you come here.

Maintain your appearance; don't buy if you don't have enough money.

Otherwise, you'll be looked down upon.

With a hint of regret, Shiki intends to leave.

And right now.

Leonex, playing with the Door Fruit in his hand, stopped in front of Shiki.

Everyone around broke into a cold sweat!

This blond guy.

Trouble!

Death is beyond doubt!

Indeed.

In the next second, Leonex suddenly raised a golden musket from his waist.

He aimed at Shiki.

Bang-

As soon as the gunpowder exploded, the scene was immediately filled with smoke.

Loud shots rang out inside the auction hall.

The echoes, the burning of human flesh!

Everyone was in shock, their hearts already certain that the blond's head had been blown apart.

The next second.

Aaaah!

A scream of pain immediately echoed throughout the hall.

Wait until the dust settles.

Everyone, with dull eyes, looked at the scene, many with fingers in open mouths, their eyes wide in fear, as if they were witnessing something they had never seen before.

They saw it.

Shiki's figure was already standing.

In one hand, he held the Devil Fruit that Draco had just purchased, and in the other, a golden musket.

And before him golden lion Shiki.

The noble Dragon, Saint Leonex, was already on his knees at this moment, his body trembling, hands severed, bones and muscles exposed to the air, scarlet blood gushing from his veins.

"Trash!!!!"

Leonex's scream resounded.

Tears and mucus spattered against the glass cover, which was utterly repulsive.

The entire scene, brutal and cruel.

"Not good! A Celestial dragon is injured! Run!"

"If you dare attack Dragon, the Marines will pursue and kill you!!!"

"We're here to buy goods, not to give up our lives!!!"

With a celestial Dragon injured, the auction hall instantly descended into chaos.

"Stop!"

"This is Saint Figaran Leonex, the most noble Celestial dragon!!!"

The people around Leonex were already in a state of panic at this point: "To dare move against a celestial dragon, the Marines will send someone to surround you!"

"You're dead!!! Dead," said a man in black.

"He shot?"

Shiki tossed the Devil Fruit in his hand.

"Then I won't do it..."

Without any hesitation, Shiki raised the musket in his hand.

Bang—

As soon as the gunpowder exploded, the scene was filled with smoke once again.

The smoke cleared.

A bullet hole immediately appeared in the glass cover of Saint Figurland Leonex, and his head, like a watermelon in a juicer, red and red, white and white, indescribably, shattered and covered the entire glass cover.

It's the end—

It's the end—

The assistant brought by Dragon fell to the ground, trembling.

A celestial dragon was shot—

This is a major event that has never happened on Sabaody.

The world will be in shock.

Soon after.

Marine squads appeared above the auction hall.

The Marine's functions as a brutal agency under the umbrella of the World Government .

Naturally, they are the first to know.

Marineford ——

The General's Office!

— What!!!!?

— Shiki appeared!!! He also shot a Celestial dragon on the Sabaody Island!!!!

Kong's shocked voice echoed throughout the office.

The surrounding vice-admirals collectively tightened their necks.

The problem….

A celestial dragon was killed in front of people!!!

This is worse than executing a vice-admiral in front of the marines!!!
