Chapter 390: The father who is the financial backer behind the Tianlong people
Sixty million Baileys is no longer a small amount of money. Even the many pirate groups and rich men present who originally wanted to make do with it all stopped at this moment and quietly watched Luffy and the three of them perform.
However, Luffy and the others were very excited about bidding, and even turned it into a competition between three emerging pirate groups, but they ignored one thing.
That is, in the auction, not only ordinary people and pirates were present, but the world's noble Celestial Dragons were also present.
As a Celestial Dragon with an upturned nostril, would he let some so-called untouchables and low-level pirates steal his limelight?
If the things they bid for were snatched away by a mere untouchable, how could they hang out in the Holy Land of Mariejoia in the future? Wouldn't they be regarded as a disgrace to the Celestial Dragons and ridiculed by other families?
"One hundred million Baileys!" St. Charles held out a finger and shouted loudly, and looked disdainfully at the three captains who were already tearing apart.
If you want to increase the price, just increase the price. An increase of 10 million Baileys or 10 million Baileys is really too petty.
Saint Charlos had no idea about Raleigh. He originally bought it as feed, but the majesty of the Celestial Dragons cannot be provoked.
The behavior of Luffy, Kidd, and Law has obviously angered Saint Charles, so even if Rayleigh is a useless old man, Saint Charles will pay a high price to buy him.
If not for other things, it will only prove that mere pariahs, no matter what kind of "supernova" or anything else, are just ants in front of the noble Draco people of their world.
The Celestial Dragons got involved, and Luo already wanted to withdraw. Even the unruly Kidd knew how troublesome it would be to offend the Celestial Dragons on this island, so he let out an unhappy tone at this moment.
"One hundred and ten million Baileys!"
Luo and Kid were stunned when they heard Luffy raising the price next to them with a normal expression.
"Master Straw Hat, are you crazy? Do you want to provoke the Celestial Dragons on this island?" Because he was associated with the Don Quixote family in his early years, Luo knows better than others how much trouble the Celestial Dragons are having.
The Don Quixote family must be very powerful, but even so, Doflamingo still has to look at each other's faces many times now.
"I don't care whether he is a Draco or a Celestial Insect. That old man is Franky's friend. I must rescue him. Moreover, our ship is still waiting for him to help us coat it."
Luffy felt like he had heard the term Celestial Dragon before, but it was difficult for Luffy's limited brain capacity to remember someone's name, let alone a Celestial Dragon he had never seen before.
In short, Franky's previous instructions were thrown out of the window by this guy. Moreover, under certain special circumstances, even if he knew what "Celestial Dragons" existed, Luffy would not care about these things.
"Looks like he's just a pure idiot!" Hearing Luffy's words, Kidd looked disdainful. He had actually regarded such a simple-minded guy as a competitor before.
"If you are scared, just quit. The next step is the battle between our pirate group and that insect man."
"Who do you think is scared! 2"
It was obvious that what Luffy said instantly made the other two captains present furious.
It was obvious that it was an unintentional move on the part of Luffy, but for the special group of people in front of him, the effect was outstanding.
Kid and Law don't want to offend the Celestial Dragons, but if they back down here, wouldn't it indirectly mean that they are scared and not as good as Straw Hat Luffy?
"One hundred and twenty million Baileys! 2". After just a few seconds of hesitation, Kidd and Luo shouted the price at the same time.
However, the tit-for-tat behavior of the three funny captains soon aroused dissatisfaction among some people present!
St. Charles's face under the bubble mask was so angry that he even forgot to suck back the snot that was about to fall.
It would be fine if Luffy and the others didn't notice that he was a world noble, a Celestial Dragon, but now that he has made such a high-profile bid, a few pirates actually dare to steal things from him, and even dare to raise the price.
, what is the difference between this and trampling on his dignity as a Celestial Dragon?
Saint Charles did not continue to raise the price. He was so angry that he took out the pistol from his body and chose to take action!
"You untouchables, all of you must die!"
If we take action in the "illegal zone" of the Chambord Islands, we will attract the navy.
Moreover, there is a big boss behind this slave auction. Most people also know that if they take action here, they will undoubtedly offend Doflamingo, the "clown" in the underground world.
However, the above commandments are all only effective for ordinary people. If the target is a Celestial Dragon, no matter where they are on this island, they can truly have no taboos.
Saint Charles drew out his pistol and fired a wave of random shots at the three funny captains who were still tearing each other apart in the distance.
Originally, he thought that as usual, the untouchables who disobeyed him would soon be killed by his random shots and fall in a pool of blood.
However, it is a pity that when the bullets he fired this time hit the three funny captains, all the bullets that hit Luffy were rebounded by his rubber body.
"r!" The bullet fired at Luo disappeared inexplicably in front of him, and then appeared elsewhere.
As for the bullets fired at Kidd, they seemed to have lost their inertia when they came in front of him. Directly under the influence of some purple arcs, they lost all kinetic energy and floated into the air.
Obviously, bullets that can knock down ordinary people are basically useless in the face of the pirate "Supernova" whose average bounty is nearly 300 million.
If the bullets fired from the gun in the hand of Saint Charlos were sea-floor stones, they might have had some impact on the three of them. Unfortunately, if they were just ordinary bullets, the lethality for the three funny captains would be almost zero.
.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! It is difficult to process sea floor stone bullets. The gun in the hands of Saint Charlos is usually used to shoot ordinary people. Obviously, he is not luxurious enough to waste bullets casually.
However, after seeing that Luffy and the other three were unharmed by his own gunshots, Charles Saint also realized that the three of them were all ability users, so he slowly took out the seastone bullets and continued to load them on the spot.
.
The reason why Saint Charlos reloaded his ammunition like no one else was because he knew that no one would dare to attack him as a world noble. The people he wanted to kill would only dare to run away at most, and they would never dare to attack him, so he
So confident.
Unfortunately, he was wrong this time, and he was very wrong. A boy wearing a straw hat had no idea who the so-called world nobles were.
St. Charros's act of shooting at him was directly regarded as a provocation. He also dodged and rushed directly in front of the opponent, and punched the opponent in return.
Because it was not a furious attack in the original plot, Saint Charles was not killed with one shot, but was just beaten several meters away.
But just such a punch completely made the matter worse!
The people at the auction scene, after realizing what happened, all dispersed like frightened birds.
The Tianlong people have been beaten, this place..., no, this island can no longer stay, otherwise sooner or later they will be caught by the navy as an accomplice.
"Are you crazy?"
"Sure enough, just as the rumors said, the leader of the Straw Hat Pirates is a guy who does things without thinking. No, it should be said that it is even more exaggerated than the rumors."
Kidd and Law, who realized what Luffy had done, had ugly expressions on their faces at this moment. Although they wanted to take action against the Celestial Dragon who had just shot them, they were forced to do so due to the threat of the admiral.
Dare to take action.
But they didn't expect that while they were holding back, a certain guy next to them would be so aggressive that he would attack the Tianlong people without thinking!
"It seems that I arrived a step too late and didn't see the great show I imagined.
But I would like to remind you, if you continue to accuse each other here, you will soon be surrounded by the navy.
Just before I came here, I saw a lot of navy gathered outside."
The one who spoke was none other than Wood, who had just arrived at the Chambord Islands with Robin and his new follower Perona, ready to watch the show.
It's a pity that Wood arrived a little late, and Saint Charles was lying on the side with his face swollen like a pig's head. He had obviously been beaten.
Because the attack on the Tianlong people was quite bad, the navy stationed here also knew that if there was a problem with the Tianlong people, they would not only lose their jobs, so they had already gathered their troops to block the door.
"Wood Navy Traitor Wood, why are you here!"
Seeing Wood appear, the Straw Hats, Kidd, and Law were all surprised. Forget about Pluto Rayleigh, the other person was a figure from the previous era and had long since retired from the industry to retire.
But the navy traitor Wood is different. He is a strong man with the pinnacle of integrity on the sea. Kidd and Luo really don't know why such a big shot suddenly appears in such a place.
"I said I was just passing by, do you believe me?"
Luffy beat up the Celestial Dragon, and Admiral Kizaru, the best paddler, brutally tortured the "Supernova". With such a good show being staged, Wood, who was so idle, naturally didn't mind coming here to watch the live broadcast.
But it was a pity that he came a step too late after all. When he came here, Saint Charles's body was already lying beside him.
At the same time, Wood was also quite puzzled. Hachi and Kemi were now staying on his island. Why did the Straw Hats start fighting with the Draco again?
"Great, Mr. Wood, I didn't expect you to be here too. Please take action and kill these untouchables who disobey our Rozwald family. We will definitely thank you generously afterwards."
Surprisingly, when Wood appeared at the auction site, the people who recognized Wood were not only the pirates present, but also the Tianlong people.
And a brown-haired woman wearing a bubble mask on her head, sunglasses on her face, and covering her face with a silk scarf looked at Wood with a happy face and said this.
The other party's name is Lylia Palace, the eldest daughter of Saint Roswader, the sister of Saint Charlos, and also a member of the world's noble Celestial Dragons.
The reason why the other party recognizes Wood is also very simple. Because of the cooperation with the Golden Emperor Taizolo, many so-called "world nobles" are actually supported by them.
The world's aristocrats, the Celestial Dragons, are also divided into families and have their own despised classes, although in front of ordinary people they are all as powerful as 2,580,000 people.
But when facing similar people who are also world nobles, there is also a difference in status.
We are all "descendants of the Creator". In terms of identity alone, we are all equal.
And since the status is the same, then the ranking must be determined from other aspects, such as the financial resources or influence of their families.
Most of the Celestial Dragons are just people waiting to die, and their source of money generally comes from the "Heavenly Gold" provided by various countries.
As both Tianlong people, his family can get a share of the Heavenly Gold, and so can other families. Wouldn't this make everyone the same?
It is also for this reason that in order to enhance their family's influence in the Holy Land of Mariejoia, many Celestial Dragon families have chosen "foreign aid".
The so-called "foreign aid" is to provide them with funds to show off and have a certain influence on the sea. In exchange, the Tianlong people will also use their status as "world nobles" to open the door to them.
.
In other words, this is also a cooperative relationship, just like although Doflamingo was kicked out of the ranks of the Celestial Dragons, he was able to thrive in the World Government because he also had
Your own partner.
There is no doubt that Tezzolo is the richest man in the world and is even called the Golden Emperor, while Wood controls all the arms business in the world.
The two of them worked together, and it can be said that they wanted money, connections, and power, so they were naturally attracted by many Tianlong people.
The Rozwald family of the Celestial Dragons is one of the partners of Wood and Tezolo. In order to gain more support from Wood and the others and gain a more powerful position among the Celestial Dragons, Saint Rozwald even promised to
But Wood can become a Celestial Dragon.
The status of making Wood a world noble is also very simple, that is, let Wood marry his eldest daughter Lylia Palace, and then he can be given the surname of Roswad.
Of course, Wood refused in the end, not because the 17-year-old Luria Palace was unattractive, but because Wood didn't want to be a fool wandering around in a bloated protective suit every day.
And anyone with a discerning eye can see that Tianlong is a proper villain in this world. It will only be a matter of time before he is pushed aside by the protagonist and the revolutionary army. If he is still rushing to be a licking dog with others, it is not pure.
