#239 - Chapter 239 What a surprise
"Hey, hey, hey! Look, aren't those two the man and woman who escaped from the Celestial Dragons?"
In the border area between Area 1 and Area 60, a malicious man stared intently at the running young man and woman.
"It seems like it... that girl is indeed beautiful, no wonder she caught the eye of the Celestial Dragons..."
Another man licked his lips, his eyes filled with greed.
"What a pity, those who are targeted by the Celestial Dragons never have a good ending..."
An older man shook his head, but a hint of anticipation flashed in his eyes.
"But they were rescued, the Celestial Dragons shouldn't care too much, right?"
A young man interjected, trying to look at the situation rationally.
"No, no, no, brother, you're thinking too narrowly. These two have offended the Celestial Dragons. If we can offer them to the Celestial Dragons..."
A man with a face full of橫肉 grinned hideously,
"A huge fortune is beckoning us!"
Hearing the discussions around her, Stella, who had just breathed a sigh of relief after escaping the clutches of the Celestial Dragons, felt her heart rise again.
Her hand tightly gripped Tesoro's sleeve, her eyes filled with fear.
Tesoro silently stood in front of Stella, firmly facing the malicious gazes, protecting her body.
"But, we can't afford to offend the person who saved them..."
Although some people's eyes were filled with greed, they hesitated when they thought of the person who saved Stella and the others.
"Hahahaha, those two aren't here now. As long as the people here don't say anything, who will know about this?"
The malicious man laughed slyly, his eyes flashing with a light of conspiracy.
"When the time comes, the disappearance of these two will be written off."
Another person echoed, starting to calculate how to act.
"It seems that way... the Celestial Dragons will definitely like this gift. We'll be rich, hehehe!!!"
More people joined in this malicious frenzy, and the atmosphere became increasingly dangerous.
"Ugh... !"
Just as these people were about to step forward, everyone suddenly felt their bodies were somewhat out of control, as if they were drunk, and their vision gradually became blurred.
"What's going on? Is someone plotting against me?"
"..."
"Thump..."
One after another, the villains fell to the ground, their weapons scattered around, their eyes filled with disbelief.
Finally... everyone fell into a coma.
Tesoro and Stella looked at each other, their eyes filled with surprise and confusion.
"What's going on?"
Stella asked in a trembling voice, still holding tightly to Tesoro's hand.
"I don't know, but we have to leave quickly."
Tesoro said without hesitation. He pulled Stella and continued to run forward, not daring to stop for a moment.
But Tesoro felt that this power was somewhat familiar, as if Jin An had exuded it before.
He felt like he had been saved by Jin An again.
Their footsteps gradually faded away, leaving only the fallen villains unconscious on the ground.
A strange atmosphere permeated the air, making people shudder.
The same scene was constantly happening on the Sabaody Archipelago, as if a mysterious force enveloped the Sabaody Archipelago.
Wherever that force passed, people who were doing or preparing to do bad things all fell unconscious, completely unaware.
The noise on the streets gradually subsided, and the thugs fell one after another.
A tall, strong man had just raised his club to attack a passerby when, in the next second, his eyes rolled back, the club slipped from his hand, and he fell straight to the ground.
The passersby next to him exclaimed and then moved away, fearing being affected.
In a dark alley, an insidious man was forcing a woman to hand over her belongings.
His eyes were full of greed, and the knife in his hand shone coldly in the moonlight.
But suddenly, he felt a dizziness, his steps faltered, the knife fell to the ground with a thud, and then he himself fell powerlessly, face down on the ground, unconscious.
The woman stood there in a daze, clutching her package tightly, her eyes filled with disbelief and fear.
People on the Sabaody Archipelago gradually noticed this strange phenomenon and talked about it.
Whatever the truth, the atmosphere on the island became more tense in a short period of time.
These unconscious people lay in the streets and alleys, silently as if conquered by some irresistible force.
And those innocent passersby and victims, although their hearts were full of doubt and fear, were also glad that they had escaped this disaster.
This strange phenomenon continued to repeat itself on the Sabaody Archipelago, and everyone who tried to do evil was struck down by the same fate.
This mysterious force seemed to be secretly guarding the island's kindness and justice, making all those with malicious intentions tremble with fear and dare not act rashly.
......
Sabaody Archipelago, Area 13.
Shakky's hand, which was washing a glass, paused slightly, and a hint of doubt and vigilance flashed in her eyes.
"Whose Haoshoku Haki is this?"
She muttered to herself, frowning slightly.
"It can even affect this place..."
"Dingling... Dingling..."
The wind chimes at the bar door rang, and Rayleigh pushed open the bar door and walked in.
The aura on his body seemed to have changed somewhat, which stirred Shakky's heart.
"Rayleigh, where have you been these past few days?"
Shakky asked, her movements still unhurried.
Rayleigh shook the empty wine bottle and said with a smile,
"I went to see an old friend..."
He put the empty bottle on the bar,
"Pour me some wine, I've finished this bottle."
Shakky shook her head helplessly, poured Rayleigh a glass of wine, and noticed a hint of relaxation and satisfaction in his eyes as she handed it over.
"Seeing that you're in a good mood, I'd like to meet your friend."
Rayleigh took the glass, gently swirling the liquid, and a hint of nostalgia and gratification flashed in his eyes.
"That kid Jin An isn't interested in drinking."
He said, with a hint of curiosity in his tone, that there would be someone in this world who wasn't interested in drinking.
Jin An?
Hearing this name, Shakky frowned, and memories flooded into her mind.
Could it be the kid who threatened her many years ago?
Her mood was a little complicated. She didn't expect that he and Rayleigh had become friends. It was really unpredictable.
"The Haoshoku that swept across the Sabaody Archipelago just now, could it be..."
Shakky asked tentatively, with a hint of uncertainty in her tone.
Rayleigh smiled, raised his glass and took a sip, his eyes flashing with a strange light.
"That's right, it's that kid."
Shakky's eyes gradually changed from doubt to approval, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
"It seems that his growth is beyond my imagination."
"He has not only grown, but also become more responsible."
Rayleigh added, with a hint of emotion in his tone,
"That aura of his is from the bottom of his heart, it is justice and protection."
"It's really surprising."
Shakky put down her glass, leaned against the bar, and looked out the window with a deep gaze,
"Perhaps, one day he will become an existence that will shock the world."
Rayleigh nodded, raised his glass and gently touched Shakky's, and the glasses collided with a crisp sound, as if foreshadowing some incredible changes in the future.
Rayleigh murmured, his eyes full of expectation and gratification,
"The future sea will be even more magnificent because of him."
