...

A bustling street lined with mangrove trees teemed with people. In a single, chilling instant, all movement ceased. Every single person dropped to their knees.

Pirates, residents, even merchants from around the world, though some wore expressions of intense displeasure, they all parted to create a path.

At the end of the street, several figures with bubbles encasing their heads approached, their gait regal, as if deities descending upon the mortal realm. They were the World Nobles, the Celestial Dragons.

"So we've run into them," several pirates muttered, a glint of ambition flashing in their eyes. Assassinating a Celestial Dragon would surely make their names echo throughout the world.

However, such an act would invite the relentless wrath of the Marines and the World Government. Admirals would be dispatched without hesitation, and escape from this island would be impossible.

While Sabaody Archipelago was considered the Celestial Dragons' playground, encountering them wasn't an everyday occurrence. What were the odds of such an encounter?

The Celestial Dragons, surrounded by a retinue of servants and slaves bound by chains, approached. They stopped before an attractive woman, scrutinizing her appearance.

Then, one of the Celestial Dragons, his face etched with an conceited sneer, declared, "You. Come with me. You will be my thirteenth wife."

His tone was laced with an imperious command, and neither the kneeling crowd nor his servants reacted, their faces impassive, as if accustomed to such pronouncements.

The woman, clearly taken aback by the sudden declaration, froze, her face paling with terror.

"My lord, please spare me! I have a family!" she pleaded, dropping to her knees. She knew what awaited her, a life of servitude, likely ending in discard or even death. To be chosen by a World Noble was not an honor; it was a curse.

"Very well. I'll arrange the accommodations immediately."

The Celestial Dragon's attendant glanced at the woman with a flicker of pity, powerless to intervene. Another soul would soon be added to the list of victims claimed by the World Nobles.

Cocooned within their bubbles, these self-proclaimed gods refused to breathe the same air as commoners.

"What's that? A giant flamingo? I'm going to shoot it down!" As they waited, a shadow appeared on the horizon, seemingly materializing from thin air, gliding silently towards Sabaody Archipelago.

Others noticed the shadow as well, but their expressions were not those of wonder, but rather bewilderment. As the shadow drew closer, its form became clearer. It was not a bird, but... a person.

"Donquixote... Doflamingo... Damn it!"

The attendant, clad in a black suit, seemingly responsible for intelligence gathering, recognized the figure and attempted to intervene. However, the Celestial Dragon had already raised his pistol, aiming at the approaching crimson figure and pulling the trigger.

"you're in my way, Celestial Dragon." Doflamingo, hovering in mid-air, effortlessly dodged the bullet, his gaze sweeping over the World Noble with undisguised contempt.

"Fufufufufu. Since things have come to this, let's have some fun."

"Fufufufufu. You dare fire upon me? You have some nerve." A chilling voice, laced with malice, echoed through the air. The figure descended from the sky, landing gracefully on the island.
