NOVEL NEXT Chapter 67: Celestial pigs...Dogs!
Dave stepped into the grand palace, taking in the disturbing scene before him. The room was filled with Celestial Dragons indulging in grotesque luxuries, their extravagance marred by the sight of several frightened, kneeling women and even a few lifeless bodies lying on the floor, blood pooling around them.
"Now, that's some twisted version of 'justice' I didn't expect to see," Dave muttered quietly, his brows furrowing.
Suddenly, one of the Celestial Dragons noticed him and let out a roar. "Who is this filthy intruder?" he demanded, glaring at Dave with disdain.
"How dare you enter our palace, you wretched commoner?" another snarled, reaching for his weapon.
"Kill him!" came a third voice, his tone dripping with entitlement and fury.
But then, a woman among the Celestial Dragons, draped in opulent silks and dripping with jewels, raised her hand to silence them. She looked at Dave, her gaze slowly sliding over him with a strange glint in her eye. "Wait," she said with a sultry smile, licking her lips. "He's handsome. I want him as my personal slave. He'll serve me."
Dave watched as one of the Celestial Dragons barked at him, apparently oblivious to any danger as she haughtily declared, "Don't you know serving us is the highest honor?"
"why don't you kneel then?" She added.
Dave rolled his eyes, clearly unimpressed. "I'm actually here to collect some... Divine Dogs. And from what I see, there are about 17 of them here." He shot a look of mock surprise at the Celestial Dragons.
At that, several of the Celestial Dragons scoffed, clearly missing the insult as they glanced around with smug expressions.
One of the CP-0 agents stepped forward, sneering. "You dare address our masters so disrespectfully, commoner?"
Dave raised a brow, genuine curiosity creeping into his expression. "Are their brains rotten too?" he murmured, barely loud enough for the agents to hear. His eyes scanned the room, taking in the more than 20 CP-0 agents positioned around the palace, each one strength ranked at vice Admiral.
"So, are we just going to stand here?" Dave asked, his voice laced with impatience.
One of the CP-0 agents barked, "Escort him outside or attack him!" The rest of the agents sprang into action.
Dave noticed one of them discreetly contacting the Marines. A smirk spread across his face as he unleashed his Devil Form. In a blur of motion, he shot past the CP-0 agents, and within seconds, they all lay lifeless on the ground.
The Celestial Dragons, oblivious to the reality before them, continued shouting, "Commoner! How dare you lay a hand on—"
Before they could finish, Dave released his Conqueror's Haki at full force, his aura crashing over the room like a tidal wave. The Celestial Dragons, unable to withstand the overwhelming pressure, dropped unconscious, silenced in an instant.
"Now, let's do this," Dave mumbled, pulling out slave collars and fastening them around the necks of the unconscious Celestial Dragons. He turned to the other slaves in the room. "You can all just run away," he said calmly.
The slaves looked at him in shock, their fear soon replaced by hope as they bolted toward the exit, eager for freedom.
Dave watched them go, then glanced around the room thoughtfully. "Hm, but I could use a few more minions," he murmured. Eyeing the lifeless bodies of the CP-0 agents, a smirk formed on his face. "Plenty of material here."
He activated his Demonic Possession skill, summoning demons from the depths of hell to inhabit the fallen bodies. Dark energy swirled around them as the demons entered, reanimating each corpse. Soon, his new demonic soldiers stood at attention, awaiting his command.
"Take seven of them and make a round through the Island," Dave ordered, passing leashes to the demonic soldiers. He turned but then stopped to add, "Feel free to rough them up if they try to escape."
The demons nodded, gripping the leashes tightly.
"And if you're cornered, kill them. Self-destruct if the need arises," Dave continued, his tone cold and authoritative. The demonic soldiers, obedient and steadfast, acknowledged his commands, prepared to follow every order to the letter.
As the demonic soldiers dragged the Celestial Dragons out of the palace, Dave watched with a dark satisfaction, feeling a sense of poetic justice. The once-proud rulers, accustomed to having others bow to their whims, now found themselves paraded through the streets, humiliated, and helpless.
The slaves who had managed to escape earlier looked back in shock, seeing their former captors in chains, their expressions a mix of disbelief and newfound hope.
The demonic soldiers carelessly dragged the unconscious Celestial Dragons out of the Marine District, turning the scene into pure chaos. Everyone scattered, terrified at the sight.
"Who are these people?"
"An Admiral will come!" another shouted.
But a few brave souls stayed, capturing photos and videos. "This is a scoop!" one whispered excitedly, while another onlooker muttered, "Oh my god, there are seven of them, all leashed up!"
"Luckily, they're knocked out," someone else added. "I can't imagine what would happen if they woke up to find themselves in this state."
Then, Dave emerged from the building, dragging ten more bodies. "This isn't even fun," he muttered, looking around before announcing loudly, "Anyone who kicks one of these Celestial Dragons gets a million berries from me—the Hell Prince!" He watched the crowd but saw most people dash away.
"Cowards," he grumbled, just as a woman approached him.
"I want to do it," she said confidently. Dave looked at her, then broke the slave collar around her neck. She nodded gratefully, stepping toward one of the Celestial Dragons. She took a small bucket of water and poured it over him.
"Huh? Wha–?" The Celestial Dragon woke, groggy and confused, only to find himself looking up at the woman he once enslaved. As he sneered in disdain, she stood over him, lifted her foot, and kicked him with fierce satisfaction.
Dave couldn't help but cover his little brother as he saw the assault of women.
