Chapter 179

A Celestial Dragon was killed—this is an unprecedentedly heinous incident!

"Celestial Dragon? Just a mortal wearing a glass mask. What's so strange about a god killing a mortal?"

Lightning flashed.

Enel suddenly appeared before those guards.

"Thirty million volts—Lei Niao!"

The bird of lightning shot forth, electrocuting the guards until their bodies turned completely charred.

The remaining guards frantically launched their attack.

"Three-Sword Style—Tornado!"

A massive tornado swept up all the remaining guards into the sky.

Sanji removed the Wado Ichimonji from his mouth and grinned:

"How dare you little pests disturb our king's business?"

Luo Xing, with Sanji and Enel clearing the way, strolled leisurely toward Luo Zi and his daughter.

His gaze was indifferent, looking down from above.

Celestial Dragons, before him, were no better than pigs and dogs—ants that could be crushed at will.

He swung Yama in his hand.

A flash of sword light severed the heads of the terrified Luo Zi and his daughter.

Behind him,

Kid's crew and Straw Hat crew wore varied expressions.

Kid said to Kira:

"Just who the hell is that guy? He killed one Celestial Dragon—and now he's killed three!"

Kid himself was a man who loved to kill.

His bounty was higher than Straw Hat Luffy's precisely because he had killed too many, amassed too much bloodshed.

Kira, as a swordsman, took a deep breath and said:

"Regardless, Captain, we can't stay here any longer. The Marines and the World Government will go mad—they'll send at least one Admiral!"

Kid deeply agreed and nodded in assent.

Straw Hat crew.

Luffy exclaimed in shock:

"I was planning to punch that mask guy myself—turns out he's already dead."

Straw Hat Luffy had a fearless nature; in the original story, it was he who punched Charlos.

Beside him, Blackfoot Sanji said:

"Killing those two bastard Celestial Dragons is one thing—but killing a woman too? And he's with the world's most beautiful woman, the Pirate Empress? This man must be someone of great importance!"

Sanji's knightly code forbade him from attacking women.

Even if they were vile Celestial Dragons—or even the Four Emperors' Big Mom—no exception.

Franky suddenly shouted:

"I think I know who this man is! He's almost certainly the legendary Beast Imperial Son-in-Law, the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing!"

"Do you remember the mayor of Water Seven, Bingshan? He's my senior."

"My senior told me about the Fifth Emperor Luo Xing—and it was this man who stole my plans for the Pluton!"

156. Lei Li's panic! Luo Xing intends to kill the Fate's Child, Straw Hat Luffy!

On that day in Water Seven, Jack had simply knocked Franky out and taken him away.

Thus, Franky never saw Luo Xing's true face—but his senior Bingshan had given him a detailed description of Luo Xing's appearance.

After all, Luo Xing had taken the Pluton plans from Franky—this matter was of critical importance.

Upon hearing Franky reveal Luo Xing's true identity, both Straw Hat crew and Kid's crew were stunned.

"The legendary Fifth Emperor…?"

Kid and Kira exchanged glances; their eyes held not only shock but also excitement.

Kid was a man of immense ambition.

Entering the New World was imminent, and his first goal upon entering was naturally to overthrow the Four Emperors and take their place.

Now, the Fifth Emperor—who stood on par with the Four Emperors—had suddenly appeared before him,

and if he could defeat him, Kid's name would instantly echo throughout the New World!

Kira saw through Kid's thoughts and warned:

"Now is not the time to make a powerful enemy. Three Celestial Dragons are dead—the Marines' Admirals will arrive any moment."

"That Fifth Emperor's strength cannot be weak—his two subordinates, though not among the Three Beasts or the Six Supernovas, are far from ordinary!"

"And the Shichibukai, the Pirate Empress, watches us like a tiger."

"Kid, we must leave this place immediately!"

Kira was far calmer than Kid; he had clearly analyzed the situation.

Kid and Kira had grown up together and deeply trusted Kira's judgment.

Yet he still muttered with reluctance:

"The chance for glory is right before us—I really don't want to give it up!"

Straw Hat crew.

Luffy had none of Kid's calculations—he merely touched his straw hat and said:

"Is that the guy who invented all those weird gadgets? He's really amazing!"

Under the gaze of Kid's crew and the Straw Hat crew,

Luo Xing sheathed Enma, not even glancing at the three Celestial Dragon corpses lying on the ground.

As if he had just killed a few insignificant ants.

He walked straight to the fish tank containing the young mermaid Camie and said gently:

"You are free. Return to Fish-Man Island quickly."

Luo Xing already intended to claim Fish-Man Island as territory for the Beasts Pirates, so naturally he would not harm Camie.

Camie had been stunned by what had just happened.

But she finally knew the man before her had saved her, so Camie hurriedly thanked him:

"Th-thank you."

Luo Xing smiled slightly, then turned his gaze to the wall behind the auction platform.

A beast-like aura emanated from there.

Boom!

In the next moment, the wall was shattered.

An old man with white hair and beard emerged from the ruins.

The old man wore glasses and simple clothing, yet a kingly aura radiated from him.

Kid's crew, who had originally planned to slip away, were stunned by the commotion.

"Who is this now?"

"That is... Impossible! How could such a great figure be here!"

Kid's pupils suddenly contracted.

The old man with white hair and beard was none other than the right-hand man of the Pirate King Roger, the Dark King Rayleigh!

"While inside, this old man sensed several unusually powerful auras and a strong scent of blood."

Rayleigh's gaze turned to Luo Xing and the Celestial Dragon corpses on the ground.

His expression was unusually Solemn.

"You killed Celestial Dragons. Has your Beasts Pirates already prepared to go to war with the Navy and the World Government?"

Clearly,

Rayleigh had also heard Franky's words and learned Luo Xing's identity.

Luo Xing said calmly:

"The times are always evolving. These hideous, utterly stupid Celestial Dragons have stood at the world's peak for too long. Don't you find this disgusting, Dark King Rayleigh?"

Rayleigh's expression grew Increasingly Solemn.
