Chapter 143: Take it! Take it away!

The so-called status of a Celestial Dragon,

in front of Li Xiao,

is worth nothing!

As long as one provokes Li Xiao,

life and death are decided by a single thought of Li Xiao!

After personally experiencing a brush with death,

and experiencing the feeling of being fish on a chopping block waiting to be slaughtered,

this Celestial Dragon for the first time

felt an extremely strong desire for powerful personal strength!

At this very moment,

he looked at the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in his hand, covered in mysterious patterns,

and fell into hesitation!

Should he eat it?

The Rumble-Rumble Fruit in his hand is a Logia Devil Fruit,

and it is the top-tier kind,

not at all inferior to the Glint-Glint Fruit consumed by Huang Yuan beside him!

Even among all Devil Fruits,

the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is a powerful Devil Fruit ranked at the very top!

If he ate this Rumble-Rumble Fruit,

he could immediately possess powerful strength,

and become a Logia Devil Fruit user!

Coupled with his outstanding talent as a member of the noble Celestial Dragon race,

one day,

he would definitely be able to become stronger than that Li Xiao!

At that time,

he could trample Li Xiao under his feet,

make him his slave,

and wipe away today's humiliation!

Thinking of this,

this Celestial Dragon gritted his teeth,

and immediately intended to eat this Rumble-Rumble Fruit!

However,

just as he raised his hand to shove the Rumble-Rumble Fruit into his mouth,

Huang Yuan, who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly spoke:

"As far as I know, the two previous users of this Rumble-Rumble Fruit both died at the hands of Li Xiao within two months. Are you sure you want to eat it?"

Hearing this,

the movement of the Celestial Dragon's hand instantly froze!

After being stunned for a few seconds,

he violently threw the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in his hand away,

and shouted:

"Take it! Take it away!"

"Don't let it come near me!"

"Throw it away! Throw it directly into the sea!"

Huang Yuan reached out and caught the Rumble-Rumble Fruit thrown by the Celestial Dragon,

watching the Celestial Dragon, who was scrubbing his fingers hard against the auctioneer's clothes,

wishing he could wash them with water again,

he couldn't help but raise an eyebrow,

and sighed in a low voice:

"After extorting someone, he still has to intimidate them; that young man Li Xiao is really not a good person!"

However,

Huang Yuan recalled the scene where Li Xiao clearly couldn't hit him,

yet insisted on controlling the Green Frost Sword to chase after his backside and hack at him for a long time,

and immediately felt that this was consistent with Li Xiao's persona!

Just before Li Xiao left,

he remembered the Rumble-Rumble Fruit that had been bid on by that Celestial Dragon,

and on a whim,

he had Huang Yuan pass on these words!

And the reason Huang Yuan was willing to do so,

besides there being no need to refuse Li Xiao over such a small matter,

was naturally because he had his own goals!

Thinking of this,

Huang Yuan looked down at the Rumble-Rumble Fruit in his hand.

Since the Celestial Dragon didn't want it anymore,

then this Rumble-Rumble Fruit would naturally be kept by the Navy!

Such a top-tier Logia Devil Fruit,

if used properly,

would be enough for the Navy to cultivate another Admiral-level combatant!

However,

Huang Yuan suddenly remembered the words he had just said to the Celestial Dragon,

and couldn't help but frown slightly!

As mentioned above,

these words were spoken to him by Li Xiao on a whim before leaving,

telling him to pass them on to that Celestial Dragon at an appropriate time!

Come to think of it,

if what Li Xiao said was true,

then the next user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit

seems to be in a bit of danger!

Although Huang Yuan didn't really believe in such metaphysical concepts,

he had to admit,

sometimes,

this kind of vague and mysterious metaphysics is just that unreasonable!

Just as Huang Yuan was lost in thought,

the auctioneer on the side suddenly leaned in!

He put on a fawning smile,

rubbed his hands together,

and said to Huang Yuan:

"Um, since this Celestial Dragon lord doesn't want it, then how about you return this Rumble-Rumble Fruit to me?"

"Don't worry, I'll refund the 500 million berries in full!"

Hearing this,

Huang Yuan didn't reply,

but just turned his head and looked at him silently!

After being stared at for a few seconds,

the smile on the auctioneer's face gradually became somewhat stiff,

0 Seeking flowers...

and the hand-rubbing motion stopped subconsciously!

"How about, I add another 100 million berries?"

However,

Huang Yuan still didn't reply,

just staring at him silently!

Even disregarding Huang Yuan's strength and status,

just his three-meter height

was enough to cause intense pressure!

After another few seconds,

the auctioneer swallowed his saliva,

and while slowly backing away,

he laughed dryly:

"Um, never mind, never mind, I don't want it, you keep it!"

Seeing this,

Huang Yuan withdrew his gaze,

placed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit into a wooden box,

and handed it to a subordinate to keep safe!

Anyway, he wasn't going to eat this Rumble-Rumble Fruit,

so as for how to handle it,

he'd leave that headache to Fleet Admiral Sengoku!

………………

On the other side,

deep in the seabed.

A massive cyan flood dragon was constantly diving toward the bottom of the sea,

and on top of its head,

a man sat cross-legged with a calm expression!

This person and dragon were none other than Li Xiao and the Little Cyan Dragon, who had set off for Fish-Man Island!

At this moment,

if one looked closely, they would discover

that there was a layer of translucent membrane around Li Xiao!

This seemingly thin membrane completely isolated the surrounding seawater,

allowing Li Xiao to survive even in the deep sea!

Just as Lei Li had thought earlier,

the Little Cyan Dragon, as a flood dragon,

naturally possessed the innate divine ability to control water,

so diving to the 10,000-meter deep seabed was naturally a piece of cake!

Not only that,

this vast ocean was the Little Cyan Dragon's home turf,

and in this ocean,

the Little Cyan Dragon's combat power truly reached its peak state,

elevated by more than just one level compared to when it was on land!

With the Little Cyan Dragon's current strength,

if it were to fight in the ocean,

apart from Li Xiao,

no one would be its match!

As for Li Xiao,
