At this moment, a series of angry curses suddenly echoed from the distance. The sound of whips lashing against flesh was mixed in.
Admiral Kizaru and Sentomaru exchanged glances, both seeing the helplessness in each other eyes.
Sure enough, a few Celestial Dragons with bruised faces and bloated bodies were carried over by scar-covered slaves.
"You bunch of useless trash, I'll have you all killed when we get back!" said Saint Charlos, who was sitting on a slave back, still bleeding from his nose.
The slaves could only tremble in fear but had no choice but to continue serving them. At this moment, they finally caught sight of Admiral Kizaru, Sentomaru, and a group of Marines.
Meanwhile, Rayleigh glanced at the Celestial Dragons and then vanished with a whoosh!
"Hey, Kizaru, where's that damn pirate with the straw hat?" Charlos called out to Kizaru directly by his name!
The other Marines immediately knelt down in a disciplined manner.
"Those guys are like rats, they just disappeared in a flash!" Kizaru stopped Sentomaru from apologizing and said with a chuckle.
"Kizaru, you couldn't even stop them here?" The Celestial Dragon stepped forward, pointing his finger menacingly at the tall admiral.
"Ah, I'm getting old, mistakes happen!" Kizaru deftly dodged the Celestial Dragon finger and replied nonchalantly.
"Useless, all of you are useless!" The Celestial Dragon glared at Kizaru. Though he dared to point and curse at the admiral, he would never dare to lay a hand on a Marine Admiral.
Charlos pulled out a flintlock from his coat, his face dark as he turned and shot one of his slaves in the abdomen.
The slave who had been carrying him screamed in agony as he was hit. Still not satisfied, Charlos walked over and began stomping on the slave's abdomen with his foot.
Soon, the slave passed out, barely breathing.
"Kizaru, why didn't you chase after them when they ran?" Charlos finally calmed down a bit, sniffing his snot as he asked irritably.
"Oh, because someone was in the way!" Kizaru glanced toward Pryce and Marco, who were sitting leisurely not far away.
"Who are you two? Why aren't you kneeling before the World Nobles?" Before Charlos could speak, one of his favored bodyguards pointed at the two and shouted angrily.
"World Nobles? Where are they?" Pryce squinted his eyes and asked with a smile.
"Are you blind? This is the noble and high-blooded Saint Charlos! Kneel before him!" The bodyguard, being a fool, didn't catch the sarcasm in Pryce tone.
"You mean that guy with the bubble on his head, the one who looks like his brain is underdeveloped and his cerebellum completely absent? That's a World Noble? I thought it was some new breed of fat pig!" Pryce said with a laugh.
As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Marco burst into unrestrained laughter, but even Admiral Kizaru let out a soft chuckle.
Hearing this, Charlos, who had been acting arrogantly, was so furious that his nose almost twisted in anger!
"Capture them both!"
"I'm going to skin them alive!" Charlos roared in uncontrollable rage.
But Admiral Kizaru would never dare to provoke Marco and Pryce. Seeing that Kizaru hadn't made a move, Charlos glared at him with bloodshot eyes.
"Kizaru, what's going on?"
"Are you defying my orders?" Charlos stared at Kizaru intently.
"How could I dare to do such a thing!"
"It's just that I'm no match for them!" Kizaru shrugged, scratching his ear as he spoke.
"Useless! We World Nobles and the World Government spend so much money on you every year!"
"And you can't even do a damn thing!" Charlos cursed in frustration.
He then gave a signal to his bodyguards and slaves, who immediately charged at Marco and Pryce.
Marco sneered and with a casual wave, a small blue phoenix sent the bodyguards flying in disarray.
"Who is this guy?" Charlos' expression changed as he turned to Kizaru.
"One is Marco, the division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates, and the other is Pryce, the scientist of the Whitebeard Pirates." Kizaru had already sat down leisurely, answering seriously.
"Pryce?!"
"The Pryce who invented the Senzu Beans and the Teleportation Talismans?" Charlos asked in astonishment. Seeing Kizaru nod, the Celestial Dragon's gaze toward Pryce shifted entirely.
"So, you're Pryce, huh?"
"If you want to leave here alive, I suggest you make me a few Teleportation Talismans!"
"If I'm satisfied, I'll spare your life!" Charlos demanded directly.
Hearing this, not only did Marco and Pryce laugh, but even Kizaru, sitting behind him mentally cursed the fool.
Seeing Pryce cold smile directed at him, Charlos suddenly felt like he was being mocked. He immediately pulled out his flintlock and aimed it at Pryce.
"If you don't make them, I'll shoot you dead!" Charlos shouted furiously.
Pryce was utterly dumbfounded!
He had always known that these Celestial Dragons weren't the brightest, and today's encounter confirmed it. Was Charlos completely oblivious to the situation?
Hadn't he just been punched by Luffy, and now he was asking for more trouble?
"Oh no, a World Noble is threatening me! I'm so scared!" Pryce pretended to be terrified.
His act seemed to please Charlos greatly.
"Hurry up and make them!"
"If I'm in a good mood, I might even take you as my slave, and you'll live a comfortable life!" Charlos said with a smug smile.
"Then come over here!"
"I'll hand the Teleportation Talismans to you!" Pryce pulled out the talismans from his pocket and waved them in front of the Celestial Dragon.
Sure enough, as soon as Charlos saw the talismans, his eyes were glued to them!
Although the Navy had once confiscated a batch of teleportation talismans, there were still many Celestial Dragons, and the number of these talismans was extremely limited.
'Every day in Mariejois, I watched those who used the teleportation talismans with envy in my heart!'
'Now that the teleportation talisman is right before my eyes, how could I resist?'
