One piece :Nox ( Before Dawn)

She wore denim shorts, a short-sleeved white shirt, and brown ankle boots with high heels. She was curvy where she should be curvy, slender where she should be slender, and graceful. With her exquisite face, she was truly a rare beauty.

Unfortunately, she was too harsh, had a bad temper, and her heart-shaped lipstick was quite ugly.

As soon as Sal began to assess her, Jewelry Bonney also noticed that this man dared to look at her directly and immediately said viciously, "What are you staring at, want to die? Don't think I won't kill you."

Sal still felt that he wasn't suited for interacting with a woman like her. Charlotte Linlin was better in character, except when she had a bout of bulimia.

He found a spot away from her and looked around. He discovered that there were quite a few supernovas present.

Among the group causing an uproar at the end of the street sat Capone Bege, who was shooting at a pirate.

Born in the West Sea, he was a short and stout crime boss and captain of the Fire Tank Pirates. The bounty on his head was 138 million.

Nearby, observing the commotion, was the "Strange Monk" from Sky Island, Urouge, standing 4 meters tall and resembling a small giant with a sturdy build and a bounty of 108 million.

Don't underestimate his bounty, which is among the lower among the supernovas. In two years, he will grow to a level capable of defeating a four-star general, as befits a Shichibukai.

For some reason, they suddenly became enemies, and there was a likelihood of war. Men on both sides drew their weapons, and as soon as the captain gave the order, a brawl involving hundreds of people would start.

The sudden confrontation caused many people on the street to quickly clear out, and shops closed their doors. Many sharp-eyed individuals recognized that both sides were Supernova.

Just as Sal wanted to drink tea and enjoy the spectacle, a beautiful figure with long legs sat down at the table next to him. Jewelry Bonney was eating a chicken leg and casually said:

"Who do you think will win?"

...

The corners of his eyes twitched a few times. This woman was truly shameless. No wonder she had the nerve to challenge Blackbeard after the war at the summit. Her entire ship was destroyed, and she was captured. She almost became Blackbeard's wife.

Sal shifted his gaze to the thighs in front of him. They were very white and long. Certainly deserving of Blackbeard's greed. He indifferently said:

"I'm just an ordinary person, how would I know who will win?"

"You, an ordinary person? Ordinary people have already run away, and those who stayed are anything but ordinary."

...

Indeed, the pirate war kept ordinary people away from here. Those who stayed are the ones who believe they have some power, along with their crews.

Seeing this, Sal slowly said:

"I think the 'Strange Monk' Urouge is stronger."

"That guy's bounty is lower than Capone Bege's. How can you think he's stronger?"

Noticing Bonney's skeptical look, Sal didn't continue. Perhaps Urouge's 'Retribution of Good' somehow counters Capone Bege?

The defense of the 'Castle Fruit' might not withstand the attack from 'Retribution of Good,' not to mention that Capone Bege's current attack methods may not quickly defeat the 'Strange Monk.'

The effect of 'Retribution of Good' can transform received damage into an attack.

Before they began to fight, a sudden voice startled everyone. Jewelry Bonney even spat out a sip of her drink and said with disgust:

"What bad luck, I've run into these scumbags again. This is already the second time today. They come out so many times in a day, aren't you afraid one day you'll get cut down?"

Slowly, a man dressed like an astronaut came into view. He was sitting on a slave used as a horse, holding two chains binding two slaves who were his nominal wives.

Beside him stood a CP agent bodyguard and several guards.

The noble people of the world, the Celestial Dragons, are descendants of 19 out of the 20 kings who created the World Government 800 years ago. They consider themselves 'descendants of the Creator' and enjoy all privileges. If they are offended, it requires sending a fleet admiral or CP0 for protection.

Seeing this, Sal narrowed his eyes, a spark flickering within them.

"An idiot from the Rozwald family? Didn't expect to meet you so soon."

Bonnie looked at her neighbor in confusion. This guy seemed to know the Celestial Dragons very well, and his tone was quite peculiar.

The Celestial Dragon Saint Carlos was the one who got beaten the most in the original. He was also part of Sal's plan. Sal continued his thoughts, deciding to hunt down the slave traders. He wondered if he could catch the mermaid Abby. If that didn't happen, the Straw Hat wouldn't have a reason to wreck the auction house.

There's a saying that rings true: chaos is the best step to ascension.

When he acted today, he noticed the number of naval forces on the Sabaody Archipelago had significantly decreased. It seemed the navy had already begun mobilizing in preparation for the Supreme War.

After all, this war could dictate the future course of the ocean, and the navy couldn't afford to lose.

Thinking of this, Sal unconsciously placed his hand on the hilt of his sword, further raising Bonnie's suspicions sitting beside him. What was this guy planning to do?

The Celestial Dragons' entourage moved slowly, and everyone along the way bowed, not daring to look up. Even the two supernovas could only comply.

If they weren't in confrontation, they would have left before the Celestial Dragons arrived, and they wouldn't have had to endure such humiliation.

Saint Charlos looked at everyone with disdain. It didn't matter to him whether these people were strong or not; in his eyes, they were just ants.

When his gaze swept to the corner, Bonnie transformed into a child and sat on the ground, while Sal still sat there, hesitating. This instantly angered Saint Charlos .

He raised his gun and fired. Civilians who dared to look at him directly were simply asking for death.

Sal leaned to the side to dodge the bullet, and murderous rage began to stir in his heart. A thought flashed through his mind that he would have to kill him anyway, so he might as well do it now.

He hesitated for a second but eventually suppressed the murderous rage in his heart. Now was not the time.

When Saint Charlos fired a second shot, Bonnie, who had transformed into a child, also pushed Sal to the ground, poured a packet of ketchup on him, and then laid on the man's chest, pretending to cry.

"Brother, please don't die. What will I do if you die? What will happen to Bonnie in the future?"

Sal silently looked at his fake sister. She was pretending to cry. She really played it well. All he could do was endure the tomato juice on his head in silence. He lay on the ground and looked up at the sky, pondering one thing.

If Bonnie were exposed, or if the Celestial Dragons took a liking to her... Wouldn't this carefree girl choose to flee or ultimately fight the Celestial Dragons? After all, she is truly brave.

Saint Charlos glanced at his gun and then at the grand mourning scene. He was a bit unsure if he had hit his target, but on second thought, he dismissed it. Citizens weren't worth his time.

He tugged at the chain hanging from his hand, signaling his slave to move, and continued on his way with his two wives.

Once the Celestial Dragons completely disappeared, the crowd dispersed. At this moment, Bonnie grabbed Sal by the collar and angrily scolded him:

"Do you want to get us killed? Don't you know that attacking the Celestial Dragons will attract an admiral?"

"I know. So what?"

Seeing his calm demeanor, Bonnie immediately became furious and wanted to teach him a lesson. The murderous rage that had just surfaced twisted her face. This guy really wants to kill the Celestial Dragons.

Bonnie grabbed Sal's hand and quickly activated her Fruit Ability, so this fool could taste the consequences of his stupidity. For a long time, Sal kept his captured hand raised and calmly looked at her. There was no change in his eyes.

"Miss, do you love me? Otherwise, why are you holding onto me so tightly?"

Bonnie was surprised to see that her ability had no effect.

"How is this possible ?"
