Sea Calendar, November 1, 1519.
A countless number of soldiers awaited in Willport.
A luxurious ship had arrived from the distant Mary Geoise, and no one dared to approach it along the way because it was the ship of the Celestial Dragons!
Celestial Dragon Saint Charlos, clad in his spacesuit, stepped into the port of Alabasta with an angry expression, then began to roar:
"Where is your King! Let him come to me!" His wild expression did not intimidate the surrounding soldiers, who were dressed in dark uniforms and looked at Charlos coldly.
"You bastards! How dare you ignore me?!"
Charlos pulled a golden gun from his belt and shot directly at a soldier!
Yet the soldier remained standing without saying a word, only cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
All the soldiers cast angry glares at Charlos, but they still hesitated to take any action, as it would undoubtedly place immense pressure on their King.
In the next moment, a hand grew from Charlos' body, snatched the golden gun, and tossed it away. Several soldiers immediately stepped forward to knock him to the ground.
"What are you doing?! I am a representative of the World Nobles!!!" the Celestial Dragon roared.
This scene was shown to all mobile phone users through Morgans' show. For a while, people on the Forum were sending their "greetings" to the ugly Celestial Dragon.
Seeing that everyone from the large ship that had brought him was led into the port by soldiers, and with himself in chains, Charlos finally panicked and began to understand... something was wrong.
The World Government had actually set him up instead of sending him on vacation! These guys wouldn't dare finish him off!
"I want to see the Five Elders! I want to see the Five Elders!" Charlos shouted as the soldiers led him away.
When he was brought to the palace of Alabasta, he fell into despair because he finally met the Lord of Alabasta.
Ezekiel rarely used the main hall of the dynasty. He sat on the throne, with Hancock at his side. The terror of the Earth, the Celestial Dragon, the representative of the World Nobles—Ezekiel indeed had the right to deal with him, without causing death.
Ezekiel looked at the official letter, which looked like a contract. It was about an agreement: the World Government would deliver Charlos to Alabasta, and Alabasta would not harm him. If it broke the commitment, the World Government would impose its sanctions. Destruction.
"What are you going to do?" Hancock also looked at the official letter; it was unsurprising that the World Government had such a request.
After all, he was a Celestial Dragon.
Ezekiel smiled and looked with interest at the Celestial Dragon Charlos. It was the first time he had seen a Celestial Dragon besides Doflamingo.
"Ezekiel !" "Your soldiers are too rough! I want you to kill them for me! I'm doing you a favor by coming here... No one here can hurt me, and neither can you!" Charlos was furious.
Ezekiel ignored him; he simply nodded to signal the soldiers to leave the hall, then raised his hand and pointed at Charlos.
Pop!
With one motion of his finger, he instantly burst Charlos's bubble, and immediately there was a squeal like a pig.
Fujitora, who was resting off to the side, slightly raised his head, then lowered it again and continued to rest.
"You foolish man, do you know whom you've confronted?! You dare to hurt me?! The Marine Admirals will appear!!!" Charlos looked at Ezekiel in disbelief; he hadn't expected anyone to do such a thing.
"Is this man insane?!!"
"Hancock, I really can't figure out what value there is in his life?" Will said.
Hancock was taken aback. She truly didn't know how to respond to that. If he were an ordinary man with such a demeanor, she probably would have said he needed to be killed, but he was a Celestial Dragon...
Before Hancock could finish thinking about it,Ezekiel made a sudden move.
Then, Charlos's scream was instantly cut off...
In Ezekiel's hand was a golden gun, his figure had vanished from the throne, and the cold barrel was aimed directly at Charlos's head.
Charlos recognized this gun; it was the same one he had used before.
Hancock was shocked by what was happening before her eyes. Fujitora smiled and stood up; he could no longer sleep.
Could Ezekiel really be planning to kill a Celestial Dragon?!
Though Ezekiel's attitude towards the Celestial Dragons had never been good, no one truly expected that Ezekiel might actually consider killing the Tenryubito.
Especially Hancock, whose whole body was now trembling.
Ezekiel ignored the emotions of the two, looking indifferently at the Celestial Dragon, thinking about the ruined Desert Black prison, the dying Chaka, and the soldier wounded by Charlos.
He stared intently at this ugly man, who was so terrified that his nose was runny, and he was constantly trembling. It seemed that he truly was different from ordinary people, mainly because he was uglier.
"My soldiers have the best military qualities in the world. They had the courage to fight to the death even in the face of Emperor Kaido. Why should they tolerate scum like you? Can you tell me why you could shoot, but I cannot?"
"No, don't kill me, don't kill me! I'm a Celestial Dragon!" Charlos was overwhelmed with genuine terror. He couldn't control himself and wet himself, though fortunately, he was encased in an outfit that kept the hall clean.
Were these the same Celestial Dragons she had feared for over ten years?
Hancock saw this scene, and the nightmarish fear in her heart nearly disappeared. The so-called Celestial Dragon before this King was just a fat pig being slaughtered.
Hancock smiled. Ezekiel was likely doing this intentionally to help her understand that the Celestial Dragons were not so frightening.
He cared about her.
Her heart was racing so fast. Was this what the old woman spoke of as love?
Bang!
The gunshot squeezed Hancock's racing heart; it nearly stopped, her eyes widened, and her mouth was open in shock.
