Chapter 3

Accompanying Gao Wen's final words,

The slaves kneeling and prostrate on the ground around him were suddenly itching with anticipation.

They lifted their heads cautiously but swiftly, looking in the direction of the Celestial Dragons.

On ordinary days, they would never dare to raise their heads to meet the gaze of the Celestial Dragons as they passed by.

Because once they made eye contact with those Celestial Dragons, who knew how cruelly they would be treated.

But now...

They all lifted their heads, their eyes bright and full of anticipation, staring at the Celestial Dragons they had hardly dared to look at before.

They watched as Gao Wen held Charlos by the golden collar with his left hand and clenched his right hand into a fist, fiercely striking Charlos' face.

"He's about to hit him!"

"Just a little more!"

"Ha ha~!"

"Quiet down!"

Amidst the light and joyful whispers, Gao Wen's fist smashed into Charlos' thick and foolish nose!

Bang!

Tears immediately streamed down Charlos' face as he squinted in pain and struggled wildly with his hands.

On the side...

"The Celestial Dragon... is bleeding!"

"Good hit, Gao Wen!"

"Damn, be a bit quieter, even quieter!"

The slaves, trembling with fear but also excited, whispered to each other.

The guards and CP members responsible for vigilance around them all looked at each other with puzzled expressions.

They were much more disciplined than the slaves, and even though they had more convenient conditions to discuss, they did not speak.

But even without speaking, they could all see the mutual thoughts in each other's eyes.

"The Celestial Dragon is being beaten, this... this is really..."

"What are you sighing about? You're just watching and not doing anything?"

"Who's going to do anything?"

"I'm not doing anything."

"We do have the responsibility to protect the Celestial Dragons, but the one who started it was also a Celestial Dragon!"

"Have you forgotten the lesson from Water? Don't make decisions for Gao Wen!"

"Cough, cough, pretend we didn't see anything!"

The guards' eyes darted around, and no one dared to join in the beating.

Thus, Gao Wen continued to punch Charlos' fat face, one punch after another.

As he hit, Gao Wen roared in anger.

"You incompetent fool, you couldn't even control a poor mermaid, making her bump into my head!"

Bang!

"Since you hit me, you must return the pain I suffered, and more!"

Bang!

"Why don't you shoot now? What happened to your shooting?"

Bang!

"Didn't you enjoy shooting innocent girls? That mermaid looked only sixteen or seventeen!"

Bang!

"Didn't you enjoy that feeling? Shoot, damn it!"

Bang!

As he said this, Gao Wen casually took the gold flintlock pistol from Charlos' hand.

He thought to himself that he must seize this gun and point the barrel at Charlos' forehead!

Even if he couldn't really kill this bastard, he wanted to scare him, and if he scared him so much that he wet his pants, it would be perfect!

But the moment he seized the gun, his entire waist almost fell to the ground!

Don't forget, Charlos' pistol was made entirely of gold.

And such a thirty-centimeter-long old flintlock pistol, if made of gold...

Before crossing over, Gao Wen had, of course, exercised.

But he only exercised occasionally and was not a professional or a seasoned enthusiast.

The dumbbells he used back then were at most thirty to forty kilograms.

But this gold pistol weighed at least sixty kilograms!!

Gao Wen could certainly lift it, but he could only barely hold it with one hand.

He couldn't even raise it horizontally!

In that instant, many things flashed through Gao Wen's mind.

He finally remembered what kind of world this was.

This was a world filled with countless super-giant creatures, a world with oxygen levels many times higher than Earth, the world of One Piece!

This was a world where some could level dozens of mountains with their bare hands, and some could use weights weighing several tons or even dozens of tons for training!

Charlos was indeed a weakling in this world.

But even as a weakling, even without training, his physical condition could reach a level that ordinary people could hardly match!

And the level of ordinary people in the world of One Piece...

In the real world, they could probably be athletic champions!

On the other side, Charlos, whose collar was held by Gao Wen, thought he would continue to be beaten.

But the expected punches and gun butts did not continue to hit his face.

So he opened one eye, and when he saw Gao Wen's awkward attempt to raise the gun...

Charlos laughed.

"Ha ha, Gao Wen, I was actually scared by you, forgetting how weak you are!

You're a piece of trash that can be knocked away by a female mermaid, ha ha ha ha!!!"

With a series of maniacal laughs, Charlos rallied and fiercely grabbed Gao Wen's left hand that was holding his collar.

Even with Gao Wen's full resistance, Charlos easily pulled his hand off the collar.

"You actually dared to hit me!!!"

Charlos roared.

"Not even my father has hit me!!!"

Boom!

Charlos' powerful punch hit Gao Wen's stomach directly!

Clunk.

That was the sound of Charlos' pistol falling from Gao Wen's hand to the ground.

Clang, clang, clang...

That was the sound of Gao Wen being sent flying by Charlos' furious punch!

He rolled on the ground for about seventeen meters before finally stopping.

And that one punch left Gao Wen without the strength to stand up.

Lying helplessly on the ground, blood gushed from Gao Wen's mouth. As he spat out blood, he looked up at the sky with a bitter smile.

He had been rash, underestimating this world!

He only knew that the strong in this world were very strong, that the one who wanted to be the Pirate King, Luffy, was very strong.

His father, his grandfather, his friends, and his enemies were all very strong.

But he should have remembered that there were no so-called weaklings among the ordinary people in this world.

In the original manga, during the World Government meeting, Charlos, this bastard, had his eye on the giant mermaid Princess White Star.

When Charlos ordered his giant slave to take Princess White Star, Saint Musagara intervened.

Even though Musagara was an ordinary Celestial Dragon who had never trained,

he still knocked Charlos several dozen meters away with one blow!

That was several dozen meters!

Speaking of Charlos, this bastard.

He had been knocked several dozen meters away by Luffy's punch at the auction in Sabaody Archipelago.

He just fainted, nothing serious!

Later, he was knocked several dozen meters away by Saint Musagara's mace.

He still just fainted, nothing serious!

That was several dozen meters, a car accident might not even throw someone that far!

And he was hit by a mace!

From this, it can be seen that even as a weakling, Charlos' physical condition was many times stronger than Gao Wen, who could easily fracture a bone from a fall!

So...

So, after being hit by Charlos' punch, Gao Wen's internal organs suffered severe damage.

He could only lie there helplessly, without the strength to move.

In the distance.

Countless slaves and guards who had been eagerly anticipating the scene were now stunned.

"Gao Wen was hit and flew away!!!"

"Quick, save him!"

"Damn, Gao Wen has a good heart, but his body is too weak!"

"This can't continue, stop Saint Charlos!"

In an instant, the guards and CP members all used the "Shave" technique, blocking between Gao Wen and Charlos.

This scene was completely different from when Gao Wen was beating Charlos.

But just as the guards were about to help Gao Wen, Charlos spoke.

"Get out of my way!"

With a roar, Charlos bent down to pick up the pistol that had fallen to the ground.

In a frenzy, he loaded the pistol with gunpowder and a bullet, then rushed towards Gao Wen with the gun.

"Get out of my way, did you hear me, get out of my way!!!"

"Get out of my way!"

"Don't stand between me and the bastard Gao Wen, I'm going to teach him a lesson!"

"How dare he make my nose bleed, how dare he!!!"

With his curses, the guards reluctantly stepped aside.

As they retreated, they anxiously awaited different orders from Gao Wen.

They had to obey every command of the Celestial Dragons, but if different Celestial Dragons gave different commands, they could choose between them.

But unfortunately, Gao Wen couldn't speak at all at this moment!

Without waiting for Gao Wen's command, the guards had to step aside, allowing Charlos to approach Gao Wen.

Looking at Gao Wen, who was lying flat, breathing heavily, and with blood trickling from the corner of his mouth,

Charlos raised his gun!

The guards around him tensed up, ready to intercept the bullet. They couldn't participate in the conflict between Celestial Dragons, but they couldn't let a Celestial Dragon die.

At the same time, Charlos sneered and cursed.

"Gao Wen, where's your momentum now, the momentum when you hit me!

Show me your momentum!

You can't, can you, ha ha ha, then die!!!"

With a look of extreme fury, Charlos prepared to pull the trigger.

Seeing Charlos' finger tightening and the golden barrel still emitting a bit of smoke,

Gao Wen spat out a mouthful of blood and then showed a disdainful smile.

How could he die at the hands of this bastard?

As a diplomat, he had even faced the rare wars between small countries, walking through gunfire, how could he be scared by a gun?

Moreover, if fate brought him to this world, his destiny would not be to be killed by a life-wasting fool!

Being killed by the most insignificant villain in the manga, what a foolish way to die!

It was impossible!

So, facing the gun, Gao Wen coldly glared with his eyes.

At that moment, time in Mariejois seemed to pause.

In the next second, an invisible force centered on Gao Wen rapidly swept across all of Mariejois.

Almost ninety-nine percent of the slaves and a large part of the less powerful guards fell to the ground.

The entire Mariejois instantly became a city of unconsciousness, and that was because they were too far from Gao Wen!

Near Gao Wen, the shockwave's power was magnified many times.

The guards rushing to Gao Wen's side to shield him from the gun were instantly thrown away.

Then, Charlos, who was about to pull the trigger, was also hit by the shockwave and thrown away, his eyes rolling back as he instantly fainted.

The shockwave, after repelling the life around Gao Wen, directly hit the surrounding buildings.

In the next second, all the buildings within a two-hundred-meter radius of Gao Wen instantly collapsed!

Dust spread, quickly enveloping the entire square.

Complete silence, except for Gao Wen's heavy breathing and occasional coughing, no other sound could be heard.

This silence lasted for a long time, until the dust settled back to the ground.

Gao Wen spoke with difficulty.

Feeling the silence around him, his eyes looked at the sky, which was now clear of clouds, and he said softly,

"Although I don't know if this result can make up for the mermaid's regret before she died.

But Charlos!

Is this... the momentum you wanted?"
