#40 - Chapter 40 Freeing the Slaves

The nobles' sneers and disdain tightened his fists, and anger burned in Dragon's chest.

He knew the filth of this place, the tragic fate of those innocents. The slaves here were not willing to sell themselves, but they were still stripped of all dignity and even life.

"They were born as human beings, not for you to enslave!" Dragon's voice was full of anger and determination, his words piercing the hearts of the slaves in the back like a sharp sword.

Speaking for slaves was something they only dared to dream about, so many burst into tears when they heard Dragon's words.

"What are you crying for! You don't actually think they can take you out of here, do you? Don't dream!" a guard mocked.

The slaves didn't have much hope, but they vented their suppressed feelings.

Although they didn't have hope, their eyes still revealed anger at their experiences, as well as faith and admiration for Jin and the others.

As the nobles began to laugh and provoke, Doflamingo's face became even more gloomy. His hands clenched into fists, his body tensed, ready to face any possible challenge, while his eyes flashed with a burning light, as if he wanted to grind those nobles to ashes.

"I kindly reminded you, but since you don't want to leave, I won't bother with you."

Jin's hair and clothes moved without wind, and although the voice was not loud, it clearly rang in everyone's ears.

The faces of some nobles changed. They seemed unable to afford to offend someone who could do such a thing, and they immediately felt like retreating.

But suddenly, a roar rang out, and Modis led his men forward, breaking the silence of the auction house.

He had long been unable to bear these three troublemakers who were ruining his money-making plan. Now that he had enough manpower, he didn't have to endure it any longer.

They were fully armed, their weapons were equipped with the greatest possible lethality, their movements were agile and powerful, and they rushed forward, yelling and waving knives and guns.

"Bang!"

Continuous gunshots rang out, and several of Modis' men attacked Jin and the others without hesitation.

The anger burning in Dragon's heart was ignited by the gunshots, and he was determined to let everyone here know that the evil act of participating in the slave trade would be punished.

"......"

These people at the auction house were okay at suppressing ordinary slaves, but how could they be a match for Jin and the others? For a time, screams of pain kept ringing out.

In the blink of an eye, the group of people who had been so aggressive just now all fell to the ground, lifeless.

Modis was forced to retreat, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, and he became more and more anxious.

"These useless Navy bastards! I give them so much money every year, and now they can't even protect my safety?!"

"Boss, I've already told them, but they said it will take some time to get here," his subordinate said anxiously, covered in sweat. He hadn't finished spending the money he earned, so he couldn't die here.

"Useless, all useless, always dropping the ball at critical moments!"

He gritted his teeth, watching his profits rapidly disappear amidst Jin and the others' destruction.

Although his men continued to join the ranks of the suppression, they were still completely unable to subdue the momentum of the riot.

The scene was already filled with the screams and curses of the nobles.

They fled in panic, pushing each other towards the exit. Those three people were too terrifying. So many people were killed in an instant, and even slave traders who knelt down to beg for mercy were not spared. They killed without mercy.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out in the panicked crowd.

"Humble commoners, get out of the way, make way, the esteemed Celestial Dragon is leaving here."

The guards protecting the Celestial Dragon shouted loudly. They were scared to death. They originally thought it was just a simple escort mission.

They didn't expect to encounter such a thing. They couldn't let the Celestial Dragon get into trouble, otherwise, they and their families would die miserably.

"Why should we leave here? Isn't it more interesting to continue watching them kill each other?" The Celestial Dragon was very interested in the mutual killing between humans and didn't want to leave here.

"Saint Rosward, let's go back to Mary Geoise and watch these things. The performance here is not interesting," the chief guard breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the urge to just pick up the Celestial Dragon and run.

They stayed with the Celestial Dragons all the time, and they knew what they were thinking. They were not afraid of anything and did not worry about encountering danger, because when they were threatened, the Navy's top combat power would rush here directly.

This was one of the reasons why these Celestial Dragons were so confident.

The Celestial Dragon was not afraid, but the guards were afraid. No one knew what they would do after those people went berserk.

"Are you teaching me what to do?" The Celestial Dragon directly took out a gun and looked at the guard.

CP2, hidden in the dark, appeared in front of the guard: "With us here, no one can get close to this place."

"Surround Saint Rosward and form a protective circle, and be careful not to let anyone get close to ensure that they will not be affected here."

Although they were confident in their strength, in order to ensure nothing went wrong, they chose to take extra precautions.

After all, the scene here was too chaotic, and if something unexpected happened, no one could protect him.

Jin, not far away, naturally saw every move of the Celestial Dragon. As expected, he was a pig, rushing to join in the fun when he encountered something dangerous.

"I'll leave the small fries here to you," Jin slapped away someone who approached him and walked towards the back alone.

"Seriously, you're making us do all the hard work again."

Doflamingo pulled the trigger and shot the enemy. The corners of his mouth turned up. Although he was complaining, he liked this feeling of invincibility.

In the midst of the chaos and fierce fighting, Dragon's heart was filled with anger. After hearing Jin's words, he just nodded silently.

He had a belief in justice and a desire to protect the weak. His actions were not only to rescue the enslaved people, but also to defend his inner beliefs and expectations for the world.

Jin went to the back alone. In the chaotic auction house, he walked through the crowd openly. The guards tried their best to stop him, but they were useless against Jin. It didn't take long for him to reach the back area.

With a "bang", Jin pushed open the tightly closed prison. The room was dark and damp, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell. He frowned, a little unaccustomed to it.

"Ew~ this environment is too bad." He shook his head and continued to walk forward.

Here, he found a group of imprisoned slaves.

The eyes of those people were full of surprise. Although they tried their best to calm their violently beating hearts, the excitement on their faces could not be concealed. They recognized the voice of the person in front of them...

"You are free," Jin kicked open the tightly closed prison door. "Remember to line up, and I will unlock the collars around your necks."

The people in the prison looked at what was happening in disbelief.

It wasn't until Jin went to the next prison that someone woke up from a dream and cried bitterly. Everything was so real, so real that they couldn't believe it.

"We are free!"

After cheering, the slaves rushed out of the prison in a swarm and lined up. Although they were out of prison, the collars around their necks were the real threat to their lives.

Walking to the last room, there were still slaves imprisoned inside, but one of them caught Jin's attention.
