Issho's Observation Haki sensed the death of the Celestial Dragon, and he nodded. Rayleigh and the other person fought farther and farther away from the Slave Market, seemingly just engrossed in their clash and noticing nothing. However, as Ginny approached the coast, the Sea Stone handcuffs restraining her suddenly gave way, as if they had been crushed, and slipped from her hands.
Ginny didn't have ti to wonder why. Having recovered her strength, she imdiately helped the others escape. Her Listen-Listen devil fruit heard the death of Saint Charloss and the arrival of Kuma. Her Observation Haki spread out in Kuma's direction.
Kuma sensed Ginny's ssage and imdiately bounced himself over. Seeing Ginny completely unhard, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ginny quickly urged Kuma, "Hurry and send us away! This island is about to change."
Kuma nodded and quickly activated the power of the Paw-Paw devil fruit, sending the escaped people back to the Revolutionary Army Base before rushing over himself.
Tesoro's expression changed drastically upon receiving the ssage. Confused, the next second he saw Saint Charloss, who was far away, shot in the head, and Stella had also vanished. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he quickly took advantage of the chaos, blended into the crowd, and left the area.
By the ti the CP0 Agents reacted, they saw the headless corpse of Saint Charloss. That group of Celestial Dragon lackeys acted more distraught than if their own kin had died, their faces full of disbelief. In their panic, they fired wildly toward the location where the gunshot was heard, instantly killing the already dying Scapegoat beyond any doubt.
A CP0 Agent quickly took out the Marineford transponder snail, and a trembling voice ca through: "This is bad! Saint Charloss has been shot dead in the street!"
Sengoku's face darkened upon hearing this news. He couldn't understand how such a prominent Celestial Dragon could suddenly die violently. He imdiately asked, "Have you caught the culprit? Make sure to capture them alive!"
The agent continued, "The culprit is already dead. It was a Slave Trader. What should we do now?"
Sengoku's vision flashed black, then black again. He felt as if he could already see the Gorosei roaring, their spittle spraying onto his face through the transponder snail. "Tell the situation again."
On the other side, Kizaru also received the notification and rushed toward the Sabaody Archipelago.
Sengoku heard the situation on the ground: Rayleigh was provoked by an unknown powerhouse, and soone took advantage of their clash to kill the Celestial Dragon. This situation made Sengoku's face grow even darker. Before he could hang up the phone, the call from the Gorosei rang.
Sengoku sighed, answered the phone, and deliberately held it slightly away from his ear. Sure enough, the roar of the Gorosei ca through.
Gion, who was on site, was the last to hear the news. It wasn't until CP0 ca knocking, requesting assistance, that Gion learned about the incident.
After eting with CP0, Gion imdiately thought of Hera. She quickly dismissed CP0, ran over, and grabbed Hera's ear. Looking around to ensure they were alone, she asked, "You stinking brat, explain yourself! Did you do this?"
Hera waved his hands repeatedly: "Ow, that definitely wasn't ! I've been at the Marine Base the whole ti. Where would I find the ti to kill a Celestial Dragon? Don't dwell on this. Let's quickly go and seize all the slave trading places from 1 to 30. This is a great chance to sweep away the evil."
Gion laughed when she heard this. "It wasn't you, huh? I hadn't even ntioned it, and you already knew a Celestial Dragon died. I didn't even know the killer was a Slave Trader, but you did."
Nevertheless, she smiled. "Very good. You did very well. Rember, no matter who asks you, you must say that you were at the Marine Base and never left during that ti. Were there many Marines who saw you?"
Hera nodded: "Many. Most people saw that I never left."
Gion smiled. "That's even better. Let's go. It's ti for us Marines to sweep away the evil here. I've been annoyed by those people for a long ti."
Hera added from the side, "Exactly! And this group, who got rich by selling slaves, must have a lot of treasure. We'll take all these people down, imdiately confiscate the illegal gains, and turn them over to the Marine forces. The Marines are short on money right now."
Gion glanced at Hera and nodded. "Alright, I'm taking a squad to conduct the sweep. Do you want to co along?"
Hera shook his head. "I want to lead my own squad separately."
Gion grabbed Hera. "Lead your own squad separately? Impossible. You can't leave my sight for this period. I will monitor you with Observation Haki."
Hearing that Gion had beco serious, Hera stopped struggling and was carried out by Gion.
"I'll follow, alright? Please let go of ! What about my dignity if you carry like this?" Hera flailed his limbs in the air, like a cat grabbed by the scruff of its neck. His four squad mbers found the scene unbearable to watch and all turned their heads away, laughing.
