...

A strange cry pierced the air, momentarily stunning the busy guards.

Hearing the commotion, several Celestial Dragons emerged from their residences. Upon seeing Noir's face, their expressions morphed into masks of terror.

That detestable man... the enemy of God... the God Slayer!

None of the Celestial Dragons would ever forget that night of raging black flames, the night that Noir, alone, had carved a path of destruction through the slave prison.

More importantly, he had kidnapped over thirty nobles and, in full view of everyone, executed one of them.

The horrifying inferno was seared into their memories. Some Celestial Dragons collapsed in terror, scrambling to escape.

Noir, Devil Blade in hand, said to Blueno, "Prepare the escape route. I'm going to give them a little parting gift."

Blueno, with a grimace, began creating an Air Door, resigned to his role as the getaway driver.

Due to the vast distance, the portal opened slowly, giving Noir ample time to wreak havoc.

He leaped from the tower, charging towards the densest concentration of people like a wild stallion unleashed.

Last time, he'd been hampered by the need to protect his crew. Today, he was unburdened.

The massive shadow beneath him stretched and expanded, ensnaring a large group of guards.

The shadows twisted, and a sickening crack echoed as the necks of those caught within its grasp snapped.

This was the power of his Paramecia Devil Fruit, the "rule" of shadows. The shadows mimicked his movements. But the reverse was also true; manipulating the shadows could control the movements of those connected to them.

Even the buildings caught in the shadows began to crumble and collapse. Several Celestial Dragons huddled in corners, trembling with fear.

Noir, clutching a wrapped bundle, grinned ominously as more guards swarmed towards him.

A red wave of Conqueror's Haki erupted from him, washing over the battlefield. Countless guards collapsed, unconscious.

"Hum hum hum..."

Noir hummed a cheerful tune as he strode through the fallen bodies. He then raised his sword with a playful smile, cleaving through the door of a nearby building.

Inside, several goggle-eyed Celestial Dragons stared at him in abject terror.

This ruthless man didn't care if you were a Celestial Dragon or not. He was a Devil, a Devil who dared to defy the Gods!

Noir tossed the bundle at the Celestial Dragons. "Here's a little something for the Marines. Be sure to deliver it."

He turned to leave, and the Celestial Dragons breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, Noir suddenly reappeared, flashing back with an apologetic smile. "Sorry, I couldn't resist."

A flash of crimson light. A chilling sensation in their chests.

The obese bodies of the Celestial Dragons slumped to the floor, each with a gaping hole where their heart used to be, their eyes wide with the finality of death.

Noir flicked the blood from his blade, a look of mock regret on his face. "Consider it a parting gift. A hundred billion Berries for each of Y..."

He finally left the building. From the arms of one of the corpses, the unwrapped bundle tumbled to the floor.
