#47 - Chapter 47 The Show Begins
Amidst the deafening thunder, Jin slowly approached the ship's cabin.
Saint Rosward jolted awake from his sleep, sitting up abruptly and clutching his chest, gasping for air.
After resting for a moment, his previously unfocused pupils regained their clarity, and his pale complexion gradually flushed with color.
"Hmm?" Saint Rosward frowned, also hearing the thunderclaps in the sky.
Just then, the tightly shut cabin door slowly creaked open.
He turned his head, looking towards the cabin door with some annoyance, only to find the door still opening at a snail's pace.
"Can't even guard a door, are you looking for death? Close the door now!" He began to shout even before the door was fully open.
Gusts of wind poured in through the crack in the door, and Saint Rosward, having removed his outer coat, uncomfortably wrapped his arms around himself, shrinking back.
In his agitated gaze, a foot clad in a leather shoe stepped into the cabin.
"You dog, who told you to come in! I told you to close the door, are you deaf?!" He shivered from the cold, wishing he could rush over and shut the door himself.
The cabin was dim, with only faint light filtering through the gaps, casting mottled shadows at the entrance.
Jin, like a dark shadow, silently entered the cabin, his eyes fixed on the front, watching the dumbfounded Celestial Dragon with interest.
Saint Rosward saw the figure in front of him, his pupils dilated unnaturally, and he couldn't help but exclaim in shock as his mind raced, "It's you?!"
When the door opened, his angry expression instantly froze, his eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at the figure before him, his inner panic almost overflowing, his body trembling slightly, his fingers shaking uncontrollably.
His eyes revealed a hint of fear and unease, knowing that he had no chance of winning against the person in front of him, and he didn't understand how this person had silently infiltrated his presence.
At that moment, he felt his psychological defenses collapse in an instant, leaving behind a void of emptiness and helplessness.
"Where are my guards?"
"What did you do to them?!"
Jin raised a finger to his lips, signaling him to lower his voice.
"You clearly said you'd let me go!" Saint Rosward roared, as if he hadn't seen Jin's gesture, "You can't go back on your word!"
Looking at the Celestial Dragon yelling in front of him, Jin felt helpless. Sometimes he really wanted the power of the Silence-Silence Fruit, otherwise he would be very troubled every time he encountered such loud people, because it was really too hard on the ears.
"If I remember correctly, I only told you to leave the Sabaody Archipelago as soon as possible, I never said I would let you go."
"As for your guards, they're all outside."
Hearing Jin's words, Saint Rosward also saw the situation outside through the open cabin door.
All those people were lying on the ground, and although there were no visible wounds on their bodies, they had no fighting power left.
He was now truly... all alone.
Saint Rosward looked at the man in front of him in disbelief, "Why can't you let me go?"
Why was this guy targeting him...
"Why can't I let you go? I didn't expect you to ask such a question." Jin grinned, "Because I'm happy, because I'm stronger than you, because I... can't suppress the urge to kill you."
"You actually have such thoughts?" He opened his mouth wide, his face filled with disbelief.
He couldn't understand if this person in front of him was crazy?
He actually wanted to kill a Celestial Dragon, to kill the people at the very top of this world.
He knew that their lives were more precious than anyone else in this world, no one could judge them, they were the gods of this world.
They were a taboo of this sea, ordinary people didn't even dare to look at them directly, what kind of freak was this person.
"Are you satisfied with this answer?" Jin asked, "If you are, I'll send you on your way."
Jin stood in the shadows of the room, his gaze cold and sharp, and through the dim light, a cruel smile flickered on his face.
He casually split the door panel into long sticks, then forcefully inserted them into Saint Rosward's limbs.
Saint Rosward was pinned to the bed, struggling, but every movement caused him to grit his teeth in pain, unable to escape, his eyes filled with fear and despair, knowing that he could no longer escape.
"Do you think you can escape?" Jin's voice was cold and mocking, "You're just a bug under my control, now, I'll let you taste the despair of those innocent people you've tortured."
He slowly walked towards Saint Rosward, casually picking up a sharp knife, the blade gleaming eerily in the light.
Jin's smile grew colder, he mercilessly slashed the knife across the other's skin, screams echoing in the room, he turned a deaf ear to the other's every plea, his heart as hard as stone.
"Do you think you can live well after killing me?" Saint Rosward's voice was full of mockery, "You're wrong, the World Government will avenge me, you and your pirate crew can't escape, I won't let you go even if I die."
"I'm looking forward to them avenging you." Jin grinned, you seek revenge from Golden Lion, what does it have to do with me, the Governor-General of the South Sea.
Maybe he'll even celebrate the dogs biting each other then.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
"You beast, I want you to wish you were dead!!!"
Vicious curses spewed out of the Celestial Dragon's mouth, Jin clicked his tongue in wonder, so they were afraid too, afraid of death.
"They will avenge me, your every move is in those people's eyes, they are already on their way here, I'll be waiting for you in hell, hahahahahaha..."
Jin cleanly slashed Saint Rosward's neck with a knife, his head instantly separated from his body, and his head was blown away by the surging blood, falling heavily to the ground.
His face still had the expression before his death, confusion, anger, and doubt intertwined, forming an unusually ridiculous expression.
Finally, the annoying wailing stopped, and only a terrifying silence remained in the room.
Jin looked at the Celestial Dragon's unconscious body and smiled disdainfully, of course he knew that there was a monitoring Den Den Mushi set up by the World Government on this ship, so he had been maintaining his disguised appearance.
When the time comes, he will let Kuzan and the others wipe out a pirate crew, and then report it to the Navy Headquarters in his name, so that no one will associate what happened today with him.
"Celestial Dragon? Compared to lambs to be slaughtered, killing you doesn't take much effort..."
"......"
"Men, the target ship is ahead, kill them, the treasures are ours! After the looting, we'll hold a banquet, everyone enjoy the revelry!"
In the distance, pirate ships were rapidly approaching the ship carrying the Celestial Dragon.
The pirates' laughter gathered together, making this sea area lively again.
"Banquet!!!"
"Charge!!!"
"......"
"The show begins..."
