"Hahaha..."
Garp couldn't stop laughing. "Those rotten Celestial Dragons, acting all high and mighty every day—just hearing Uzumaki Naruto's na has them scared half to death!"
Sengoku's expression darkened.
Though he didn't like the Celestial Dragons either, seeing them humiliated like this left a sour taste.
After all, they represented the dignity of the World Governnt.
If they were so terrified, it ant the World Governnt's prestige was collapsing—and that would destabilize the entire world. Chaos and wars would follow.
Kizaru and Aokiji, anwhile, couldn't help but crack smiles.
Akainu glanced at Garp, hesitated, but said nothing. Instead, he turned to Sengoku and said seriously:
"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, we need to take action!"
Sengoku thought for a mont, then nodded. "I know. Sakazuki, Kuzan, Borsalino—you three are going together."
Then he slamd the table, his tone brooking no argunt:
"This ti, we must capture him!"
"Yes!"
The three Admirals responded in unison.
The vast Marine Headquarters imdiately roared into motion.
Ten minutes later, three warships set sail toward the Sabaody Archipelago.
The World Governnt prepared its defenses, while the Celestial Dragons shivered in shelters, terrified.
And the one who caused all this panic—Naruto—was completely unaware of the chaos his arrival had caused.
At that mont, he was calmly approaching the auction house.
Even before stepping in, he could hear the excited voice of the auctioneer.
"Ladies and gentlen, take a look! The princess of the Kingdom of Polu—an exquisite beauty with a voluptuous body, skilled in many instrunts...
However, due to a rebellion by the Revolutionary Army, her kingdom fell, and she was captured by slavers..."
"Now, this royal beauty stands before you. Take her ho and do whatever you wish! Starting bid: 100,000 Berries!"
As the auctioneer's voice echoed, bids followed rapidly:
"One million Berries!"
"One and a half million!"
"Three million!"
"How filthy..."
Naruto stepped into the dim auction house, his gaze cold as it landed on the center stage.
There stood slaves from various races—giants, fish-n, rmaids, pirate captains, and several elegantly dressed won.
Every single one of them wore a slave collar around their necks.
"No sign of that old man Rayleigh..."
Naruto withdrew his gaze and turned toward Nami and Robin with a gentle smile as he walked over.
His sudden arrival instantly attracted attention from others in the auction house.
"That guy... No way..."
In one corner, Trafalgar Law, captain of the Heart Pirates, stared at Naruto with wide eyes and cold sweat rolling down his forehead.
"How can it be him? Wasn't he missing for over ten years!?"
Eustass Kid, captain of the Kid Pirates, also recognized the golden-haired figure. Sweat rolled down his temples.
"Oi oi oi... Is this real? How did a freak like that show up at an ordinary auction!?"
"Bad news. This is bad... really bad..."
Capone Bege, captain of the Fire Tank Pirates, gulped and quietly set down his cigar.
"The Demon Child with a ten-billion-Berry bounty... This monster's appearance will definitely draw Marine Admirals..."
Basil Hawkins, captain of the Hawkins Pirates, calmly pulled out his tarot cards.
One of his crewmates stamred, "Captain, that's the Demon Child! Shouldn't we run!?"
"No need to worry."
Hawkins spoke with a calm voice.
His crew relaxed slightly, so even admiring him.
"As expected of the captain—you must have a plan."
Hawkins drew a tarot card and said flatly:
"If we stay here, there's a 99% chance we die. But if we try to flee... that chance becos 100%."
A chill swept over the crew.
"You've gotta be kidding..."
—
The captains of the Worst Generation—Supernovas—all stared at the newcor with eyes full of fear, awe, and caution.
None dared to move. No one wanted to be the first target of the Demon Child's wrath.
The entire auction house atmosphere turned bizarre.
No one cared about what was being auctioned anymore—all eyes were on the golden-haired man.
anwhile, Luffy, who was about to bid for the rmaid Camie, looked around in confusion and scratched his head.
"Sanji, Zoro, what's going on?"
"Huh?"
Zoro glanced briefly at Naruto, not understanding. "What are you talking about?"
Sanji looked lazily in Naruto's direction—then his pupils shrank. His mouth dropped open, and his cigarette fell to the floor unnoticed.
"That guy... that guy is... the most wanted man in history! A bounty of 10 billion—the Demon Child!"
"WHAT!?"
The Straw Hat crew froze, eyes filled with disbelief.
They had defeated many enemies, but Luffy's highest bounty was still only 100 million Berries.
And this guy's bounty was a hundred tis that.
"We're dood..."
Usopp trembled in fear. "Is he here to kill us!?"
Kaya looked anxious and whispered, "Let's just save Camie and get out of here."
Chopper nodded quickly. "Right! We should leave. Our ship's almost done coating anyway—let's hurry to Fish-Man Island!"
But as the others panicked, Luffy's eyes glead with excitent.
"That guy has a 10-billion bounty!?"
Zoro, too, got fired up and slowly unsheathed a blade. "More than even Mihawk... I wonder how strong he is..."
Sanji's face was drenched in sweat. "Don't provoke him. From what I've heard, he's terrifying. He once fought three Admirals at once and destroyed Mariejois!"
Usopp nearly cried, clinging to Sanji's arm.
"Sanji's right! Don't challenge him! He'll definitely kill !"
Tears streaming down his face, he pleaded, "You and I are the only sane ones left—stop them!"
Sanji was about to nod... when he froze.
He watched, eyes wide, as the golden-haired youth walked toward two beautiful won.
And then...
The black-haired beauty and the orange-haired beauty both rushed into his arms with joy.
Sanji: "..."
"Usopp, LET GO!! I'm gonna kill that bastard! Why do he get hugged by two stunning babes!?"
Fuming with rage, Sanji shoved at Usopp.
But Usopp, crying like a waterfall, clung even tighter to Sanji's leg.
