[Chapter Size: 1800 Words.]

Third Person POV

Sabaody Archipelago, First Half of Grandline.

...

...

While Luffy was causing chaos on one side of the lawless area... Hugo's group, Chouchou, and Enel were not too far away.

"Damned mortals," Enel grumbled. He was already conscious but was frustrated to have fallen so easily to a punch from the big man.

"Stop grumbling..." Hugo couldn't help but comment to that fool.

"Woof! Woof!" Chouchou agreed.

"Tsk..." Enel was still furious but chose not to respond to these two.

People continued to avoid them until they finally noticed something odd, with people not moving away from them but all lying on the ground when they reached a certain area.

"This?!" Enel found it strange here.

Hugo narrowed his eyes while Chouchou sniffed the air... viewing the entire street as people lay on the ground

"It seems the mortals here have recognized me..." Enel, after some thought, commented reaching his conclusion with an arrogant tone.

"Woof!" Chouchou barked, calling him an idiot.

"It's not that, you fool... It seems one of them is here..." Hugo spoke, his tone showing great hatred at this moment.

A group soon appeared in the middle of the street, surrounded by government agents protecting the Tenryuubito in the middle of them, none other than the father of Saint Charles, going to the auction to meet his family.

He was not mounted on a slave, but there were slaves lifting a platform at each of its corners, while the man himself, in an astronaut suit, was sitting at the front of it.

"We are late... we must go faster!" He exclaimed and grabbed a whip, hitting the backs of those men carrying it who could only feel the pain without complaint.

They continued on their way but suddenly a lightning bolt fell in front of the group, startling everyone there and the kneeling people.

"What is this?!" The Tenryuubito immediately asked as his men were still frightened by it, the lightning began to disappear, and a man appeared among them, none other than Enel looking at the Tenryuubito.

"Are you one of those who call themselves gods in this world?" He asked disdainfully.

Saint Charles' father was stunned by this, while the slaves didn't know what to do at that moment. "Who are you, you inferior being?!" The Tenryuubito shouted furiously at that.

"He is Enel, one of the Straw Hat members!" One of the government agents spoke immediately.

"He has a Logia! We must be careful!" Another exclaimed in astonishment.

"Do you not know that you are in front of a Tenryuubito, do you know the consequences of standing in front of one while you should be on the ground kneeling?!" Another member complained to Enel.

"Kneel?!" Enel asked with a dangerous tone.

He began to release lightning while the Tenryuubito looked surprised at this and his men afraid. "Hey hey, is he going to attack a Tenryuubito?!" One of the kneeling people couldn't help but exclaim seeing that.

"Now you will feel the power of a true god, not a false one..." Enel spoke as he prepared to attack the Tenryuubito, who looked at him with fear at that moment.

"What do you plan to do?!" The Tenryuubito sensed the danger and exclaimed without his previous arrogance.

However, just as Enel was about to unleash his power to attack the man on the platform without caring to launch a direct attack at point-blank range, before he could attack, Hugo once again struck him, hitting him on the head, Enel still hurt couldn't react despite seeing the blow coming, so he fell to the ground there once again.

"He attacked his own companion?" One of the kneeling men spoke in astonishment.

"He fell..." The Tenryuubito himself sighed, and even though they were inferior beings, he had to feel grateful for that, as clearly that man had wanted to attack him.

"Quick! Grab the collar and restrain him, I will make him beg and regret challenging me!" The Tenryuubito shouted and looked at Hugo.

"You, restrain him!" The Tenryuubito ordered without caring to thank for the help, after all, he believed that was the duty of all beings in this world who were not from Merry Geoise.

"You won't need that." Hugo spoke, looking at the man.

"What do you mean by that...?! Hm?" He was about to demand, but soon saw that man on top of him before anyone could react.

"I just hit him so that he wouldn't touch you before me!" Hugo spoke and drove a punch into the man's face, breaking the platform and exploding the ground beneath it.

BOOOOMM!!! The explosion was so large that all the slaves and government agents were blown away by the shockwave.

"He hit the Tenryuubito!" People immediately began to scream in fear.

Meanwhile, among all the debris, Hugo stood there and saw a man in a state similar to what his son would be after Luffy hit him.

"I guess I hit him a bit," he murmured, thinking it was too little.

Without wasting time, he raised his leg and kicked the unconscious and bleeding man in the chest, really sending him flying.

"Well, let's follow him," he murmured and turned his attention back. "Chouchou, grab Enel and let's follow that flying object..." Chouchou barked in confirmation while still urinating on the ring pants.

He went to the clean side of the clothing and bit, pulling the unconscious god and started to follow Hugo. They quickly advanced against the Tenryuubito falling in the distance.

On the other side, Bonney was walking while heavily stomping on the ground frustrated. She didn't know why she was doing this, but at that moment she was following the man who was carrying the Tenryuubito through the streets.

She didn't know when, but at some point, she just started to follow him after turning around, after thinking about everything she heard, she could not ignore after hearing all that.

"I'm going to regret this, I'm going to regret this, this pirate is going to screw me over..." She began to speak, but still continued towards Luffy.

"How dare he say those things to me?" She was growling with so much anger.

"Bonney-sama is following us..." Shirahoshi looked back while seeing Bonney following at some distance.

"Are you going to keep grumbling the whole time??" Luffy asked after hearing Shirahoshi, clearly hearing the girl in the body of a woman speaking angrily.

Shirahoshi began to laugh. "It seems like she's taken a liking to you, Luffy-sama," Shirahoshi commented with a giggle.

"Who's taken a liking to whom?" Bonney shouted furiously.

Luffy shrugged as they continued on to the auction without caring about that woman.

Some time later... At the auction itself where there was a drawing of Joker from the underworld... the big event had already begun. Various nobles from all over the world were gathered there, waiting for the event to start, as there was a rumor of a mermaid to be auctioned off that afternoon. Everyone eagerly awaited the event, while slaves continued to come on stage and people placed bids, wanting to buy, and more importantly... there were two Tenryuubitos present.

"Where are daddy, brother, and his friend?" The woman dressed in an astronaut suit murmured, dissatisfied, as they were all late. They were a single group of 5 Tenryuubitos who came to Sabaody at this time, which was her, her fiancé, her father, brother (Saint Charles), and a friend of his to buy new slaves and take them to their mansions in Merry Geoise.

"They'll come soon, let's enjoy and buy all their slaves..." the Tenryuubito who was her fiancé commented with a smile.

"You're right, darling," she spoke passionately.

As people tried not to make eye contact with them, since anything like that could mean death for them, the auction continued. It was after several slaves were auctioned off that the main event finally emerged.

"And now... we will present our most valuable asset: a mermaid directly from the sea, captured by one of our hunters on the island's edge," the man shouted, as everyone screamed excitedly.

"There is the mermaid!" They watched enthusiastically as the large glass aquarium appeared on stage, and the short green-haired mermaid, who was none other than Camie, who had been captured yesterday.

She looked around fearfully as she was placed with an explosive collar around her neck and kept in the aquarium unable to break it.

"Let's start the bidding," the presenter began.

"50 million!!!" shouted one of the nobles.

"Bidding starts at 50,000,000 berries!" the presenter shouted with enthusiasm.

"100 million!" another exclaimed, doubling the amount of the first.

"We have 100 million! Anyone else?!" the presenter shouted.

"I bid 150 million!" a third spoke.

"170 million!"

"200 million!" a man wearing a crown exclaimed.

"200,000,000? Are you crazy, you'll spend the entire National Treasury on a mermaid?" one of the ministers spoke up and asked his king not to be so reckless in spending so much money.

"Haha, look, it's a mermaid! I will have her in my tank and she will be displayed to all the nobles at the palace to show my status," that king said, pleased with the idea of having such a luxury article.

But suddenly, someone raised their hands, and it was none other than a Tenryuubito, beside his fiancée. "500 million!" he exclaimed, leaving everyone stunned with that.

"500 million?!" Even the auction presenter couldn't believe what he heard.

"Are you buying a mermaid?" his fiancée asked beside him.

"No, of course not. I'm getting her for your brother. If he's willing to pay 500,000,000 for her, then I will keep her." He spoke with a smile, and his fiancée nodded.

No one else spoke, after all, no one could contend with the authority of a Tenryuubito. "I'll give you one, I'll give you two, I'll give you three," the presenter was about to finalize this item when suddenly, time seemed to stop.

Suddenly, the entrance door began to crack, a gap started appearing on its side, in one corner of the auction, the walls began to crack, another wall began to crumble on the opposite side, in the ceiling, another crack occurred as it began to collapse.

Five explosions occurred at the same time at this moment, exploding on all sides at once, leaving everyone scared at that moment.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!
