Chapter 129 Hades Rayleigh
Chapter 129 Hades Rayleigh
Zoro slowly sheathed his gleaming longsword, then faced Luffy and spoke.
"My knife almost hit me just now."
Meanwhile, Chopper was intently analyzing the terrifying collar around Camie's neck, frowning as he muttered to himself.
"The key to this collar is very likely backstage..."
At the same time, Roswald Saint, enraged, pulled out a gun, aimed at Luffy without hesitation, pulled the trigger, and roared loudly.
"You bunch of reckless fools, how dare you lay a hand on a noble Celestial Dragon? Now you'd better just wait and suffer the endless wrath of the Celestial Dragons!"
Then, he turned and yelled at the fully armed guards beside him.
"Quickly notify the navy and have them immediately dispatch an admiral and a large number of warships to reinforce us!"
As soon as Saint Roswald gave the order, the people who had been watching the chaotic farce from below the stage were instantly thrown into a panic, screaming and fleeing frantically out of the auction house.
Luffy's crew, of course, wouldn't stand idly by. They quickly stepped forward and engaged in fierce combat with the endless stream of guards.
In an instant, shouts of battle and the clash of weapons resounded throughout the auction hall.
On the other side, Law, Kidd, and the others remained unusually calm, simply standing still and silently watching everything that was happening before their eyes.
In a corner not far away, Luo Tian leisurely crossed his legs, watching the thrilling battle unfold with great interest.
At this moment, the crowd outside the stadium erupted in uproar.
The news that Luffy had beaten up a Celestial Dragon spread like wildfire.
Upon hearing this astonishing event, the supernovas who were already planning to evacuate the area were all taken aback.
They never imagined that, following those mysterious and unfamiliar pirates, even the Straw Hat crew would have the audacity to provoke the terrifying Celestial Dragons.
Meanwhile, Sengoku, far away at the Navy Headquarters, was sitting in his office when a Den Den Mushi (snail phone) suddenly rang urgently.
He answered the Den Den Mushi, and after listening to the report, his face turned extremely gloomy.
It turns out that the Celestial Dragons of the Sabaody Archipelago were attacked by the Straw Hat Pirates!
After learning of this, Vice Admiral Kizaru, who was standing to the side, took a sip of tea and spoke slowly.
"It seems we have no choice but to take action."
As he spoke, he stepped forward and volunteered.
"I'll handle this. Don't worry, this time we definitely won't fail."
After a moment of contemplation, Zhan Guo finally nodded in agreement.
After receiving permission, Kizaru turned and slowly walked out of the room, his figure gradually disappearing into the distance.
Meanwhile, the naval forces already stationed in the Sabaody Archipelago had already begun evacuating the surrounding residents.
They then swiftly surrounded the auction house, forming a tight defensive line and standing ready for action.
Meanwhile, the Navy stationed outside also received news from headquarters that Admiral Kizaru was coming to provide support.

Suddenly, Zoro flashed and rushed in front of Roswald Saint.
With a muffled thud, he was knocked unconscious. Then, with another slash, the water tank containing Kemi was cleaved open.
Just then, the heavy curtain on the stage was slowly lifted, and a huge figure gradually appeared.
A giant, as imposing as a mountain, strode out with heavy steps, each one seemingly causing the entire ground to tremble.
Before this giant, a middle-aged man with a full head of white hair and a dignified demeanor made his entrance as if strolling leisurely.
The white-haired man spoke as soon as he appeared.
"It's really lively."
Before he finished speaking, an invisible aura of dominance suddenly erupted from his body, sweeping across the entire area like a surging wave.
Those once imposing soldiers instantly lost consciousness under the impact of this powerful aura and collapsed to the ground.
Immediately afterwards, the white-haired uncle's eyes sharpened as he surveyed the crowd in the room.
Luo Tian, who had been watching the situation closely from the audience, immediately recognized the person who had just appeared as the renowned Rayleigh.
He waved excitedly at Ridley and shouted.
"Hey, Uncle! Long time no see. Are you out of money again and have come here to sell yourself?"
Hearing Luo Tian's teasing, Rayleigh couldn't help but chuckle. He turned to look at Luo Tian and smiled back, extending his hand in response.
"Haha, you rascal, long time no see! I didn't expect to run into you here."
In fact, Luo Tian and Rayleigh had only met once.
However, through Xia Qi, Rayleigh learned a lot about Luo Tian.
Luo Tian, on the other hand, was learning about the original work and had a good understanding of Rayleigh.
So when the two met again, there wasn't much awkwardness between them.
Law and Kid recognized Rayleigh, and were both shocked to find the legendary Hades Rayleigh here.
At that moment, Rayleigh walked straight up to Cammy and, without hesitation, reached out his right hand toward the collar around her neck.
Seeing this, Luffy and his crew were extremely anxious, knowing that if the collar were touched, it would trigger a violent explosion.
So everyone quickly spoke up to dissuade them.
"Please don't move! This collar is dangerous! And Franky has already run to the back to find the key to open it. Let's wait a little longer!"
Franky then ransacked all the cabinets backstage where the key might be stored, but couldn't find it.
As Rayleigh slowly touched the collar around Kemi's neck, it fell off with a few clicks.
Usopp stared in shock at Rayleigh's methods.
"He untied it with his hands?"
Luffy stared at Rayleigh, and Rayleigh looked back at Luffy, his gaze fixed on the straw hat on Luffy's head.
"That straw hat suits a strong man perfectly. I've been wanting to meet you for a long time, Monkey D. Luffy."
Then Rayleigh slowly walked to Hachi's side, squatted down, and examined his injuries.
"This little injury won't kill you, Xiao Ba. I warned you before not to wander around this island."
Then he looked at Luffy.
"Thank you so much for saving my friend."
Luffy looked at Rayleigh with a puzzled expression.
"Uncle, you just said you've wanted to see me for a long time, what do you mean?"
Raleigh stood up and looked towards the auction house's entrance.
"We'll talk about that later. Right now, our priority is to make a breakthrough."
After Rayleigh finished speaking, Law and Kid's men told them that the area outside was now surrounded by the Navy.
Meanwhile, shouts from the navy could be heard from inside the auction house.
“Listen up, prisoners! Release the Roswald family, and the general will be here soon. I advise you to surrender obediently…”
