This auction was Doflamingo's first step back into the underworld.
He had to succeed. To that end, Doflamingo even had one of the Yonko Kaido, send the newly appointed Jack.
As the second Jack, he wanted to prove himself, and he and Doflamingo quickly reached an agreent.
"Jack, security is your responsibility. Once we have the funds, we can start developing artificial Devil Fruits."
"Yes, I understand."
Jack responded and said nothing more.
Sensing the aura emanating from Jack, Doflamingo felt slightly reassured.
Sabaody Archipelago.
Doflamingo's auction attracted many criminals.
These criminals brought large sums of money, hoping to buy what they wanted.
anwhile,
10,000 nautical miles from Sabaody Archipelago, a massive ship, as large as an island, floated in the sky.
This was Ryuya's Noah Ark.
Onboard the Ark,
Kuina was practicing swordsmanship intensely.
With Ryuya's peak dical skills, Kuina didn't have to worry about hidden injuries.
Ryuya's training thods prevented her muscles from becoming overly exaggerated,
maintaining her beauty.
Kuina's base was excellent, and she was diligent. After experiencing death, her progress was rapid.
In just a few days, she far surpassed her previous mid-level Swordsman rank, reaching the early-Supre-Grade Swordsman level.
During these days, Kuina started calling Ryuya "Master."
"Master, you've been staring at that ship. What are you planning?"
Kuina finished training, her body glistening with sweat. She fanned herself and approached Ryuya.
"We're out of money. Your dicinal baths cost a fortune, and there's the auction. We need funds.
There's a shipnt of Heavenly Tribute below. It's better used for you than by the Celestial Dragons."
Kuina nodded. Even living in the Four Blues, she had heard of the Celestial Dragons.
She despised them deeply.
"This ti, we only take the money, no casualties."
As Ryuya finished speaking, the Noah Ark began to descend.
A shadow lood over the transport ship below.
Two Vice Admirals were on board.
They reacted quickly,
imdiately entering combat mode.
However, as ti passed, the ship looming over them grew larger and larger.
The two Vice Admirals' hearts sank.
"Oh my god, what's going on? This is terrifying!"
"Is there really a ship this big? Why didn't I know?"
"I rember! That ship is… it's… it's…!"
Before the crew mber could finish, the Noah Ark landed on the sea.
Instantly, waves spread out from the Noah Ark,
crashing against the Heavenly Tribute transport ship.
Compared to the Noah Ark, the transport ship was like a small boat, threatened by the waves.
The sound of the waves drowned out the crew mber's words.
But everyone knew who owned the ship.
"That's Zero's ship! The mysterious person is here!"
"One of the Yonko—Zero! He's here!"
"Did he target the Heavenly Tribute?"
…
Despair filled their eyes.
Anyone would be terrified to be targeted by the person who defeated Big Mom and beca a Yonko.
Then, Ryuya, cloaked, and Kuina slowly floated down from the ship.
"I've never accepted the title of Yonko. It's disgusting. Emperor suits better!"
As Ryuya finished speaking,
an aura similar to Conqueror's Haki erupted from him.
This aura instantly overwheld the crew.
As if targeted by a ferocious beast.
Intense dizziness washed over them.
The crew mbers collapsed, unconscious.
Kuina stared, dumbfounded.
Her father had never told her about this.
She only learned about it from Ryuya.
"Is that Conqueror's Haki?"
Kuina looked at the transport ship in disbelief.
Ryuya deliberately avoided Kuina, so she only saw the crew collapse.
She had a clearer understanding of Ryuya's strength.
"Damn it, he knocked everyone out in an instant."
"Can we even resist this terrifying aura?!"
The two Vice Admirals looked at their pierced palms and exchanged glances.
Under that aura, they had instinctively stabbed their palms to avoid fainting from the Conqueror's Haki.
"Good reflexes. You have potential. But you're still too weak."
As Ryuya finished speaking, the two Vice Admirals, as if in sync, knelt before him.
"Wait! We surrender! We'll give you the Heavenly Tribute. We don't want to be Navy officers anymore. Just spare us!!!"
Ryuya's lips curved upwards beneath his cloak.
Looking down at the two Vice Admirals, he said in a low voice, "Oh~ Tell more."
"We've wanted to leave the Navy for a long ti. There's no profit, and no freedom. We yearn for your life, doing whatever we want. We'll give you the Heavenly Tribute. We'll even kill the crew to show our determination!"
"Oh~ Really? Do you know who I am? You dare say this to ?!"
Before the Vice Admirals could react, Ryuya removed his cloak…
