One Piece: Start as a mythical beast, practice to become stronger

"Proceed at top speed. I want to return as quickly as possible."

Saint Lasgard, who had changed into a fresh set of clothes and a mask, walked up to the guard and commanded imperiously.

"We are already at top speed, Saint Lasgard," the guard replied, trembling.

"What's the situation with those three from CP2?" Lasgard frowned.

The guard seemed to think of something, shuddered, and said with difficulty, "The bones of all the adults are broken. They might... not be salvageable..."

"Useless, all useless! Three people against one, and they end up like this. Can I entrust my safety to these good-for-nothings in the future?" Saint Lasgard cursed, his mind filled with his own safety, completely disregarding the dying men.

"We have already contacted the Holy Land. The CP adults will come to meet us," the guard said, not daring to provoke him, and only telling him good news.

Sure enough, Lasgard's face lit up when he heard these words:

"Good, good, good! Did you tell the Holy Land people about Jack?"

The guard found it difficult to fathom the Celestial Dragon's fickle mood and said happily, "I told them. I heard that the Five Elders will personally look into this matter."

"You bastard, who told you to blabber everywhere? I can solve these things myself!" Saint Lasgard glared and kicked the person to the ground.

Seemingly not appeased, he kicked the person again and again.

"I dare not anymore, please spare me," the man pleaded incessantly.

But it was useless. On the contrary, his cries aroused Lasgard's interest, and he simply took out a whip and lashed out with great force.

Before long, the person was silent, lying motionless on the deck.

"Interesting!"

Saint Lasgard suddenly laughed. He enjoyed the feeling of being high above, controlling the lives of others. Only in this way could he briefly forget what had happened before.

"Will you dare to make decisions for me in the future?"

The guards were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then quickly knelt on the deck:

"As you know, we always listen to your words, always obey your orders, and dare not show the slightest disrespect."

"That person was acting smart. We are not really familiar with him."

Lasgard's eyes were full of arrogance. This was the power given to him by his authority. The life and death of these people were at his whim.

"I like the look in your eyes..."

After saying this, he walked into his incomparably luxurious cabin.

Unlike the cabins where the guards and CP lived, his place was decorated with all kinds of precious treasures, and the carpets were sewn from the furs of various exotic animals.

More than a dozen boxes of various sizes were placed on the carpet. From the gaps in the boxes, it could be seen that they were filled with colorful jewels. Just a slight glimpse of them made the cabin extraordinarily luxurious.

Lasgard took off his clothes and jumped, like a sow diving into water, onto the soft bed.

......

Outside the cabin, on the deck.

"Phew~" The guards all breathed a sigh of relief.

"This guy almost killed us all!"

Although they were all Celestial Dragon guards, their status was actually not much higher than that of slaves.

Looking at the Celestial Dragon's tightly closed door, they all took out cigarettes from their pockets, lit them, and relieved their stress.

They were all making a living as Celestial Dragon guards, and everyone wanted to climb up, but the consequences of failure were right in front of them.

Although staying with the Celestial Dragons was dangerous, the benefits were also obvious. In the eyes of the Celestial Dragons, they were nothing, but in the eyes of ordinary people, they transformed into people who no one dared to offend.

Moreover, as long as they figured out what the Celestial Dragons meant, they would not even be in danger.

This was a privilege that could only be enjoyed by staying with the Celestial Dragons.

"Remember to pay attention to the surrounding environment. We are the only ones responsible for escorting him now. The CP big shots don't know when they will arrive."

"As long as we arrive in Mary Geoise safely, the rewards will definitely be generous."

"You're thinking too much. No one in this world dares to cause trouble for the Celestial Dragons."

The man thought for a while and added, "Except for that madman before."

Speaking of that madman, they found it strange. How dare that person? He even dared to hit a Celestial Dragon, and the strangest thing was that the Celestial Dragon actually endured it.

Could it be... that Celestial Dragons are also afraid?

As soon as this thought appeared in their minds, it was thrown out. This kind of thing was impossible.

Even Rocks, who was delusional about dominating the world, had never attacked the Celestial Dragons.

After 800 years of rule, the World Government had established the authority of the Celestial Dragons in the hearts of everyone in this world, and no one could resist.

Anyone who dares to face the authority of the Celestial Dragons is either about to go crazy, or is not from this world.

......

"Captain, I have cracked an encrypted message."

"Oh? Tell me about it." A blond man sat on a seat wrapped in animal skin, wiping the two knives in his arms.

"The message says that a ship loaded with gold and silver jewelry will pass by us. It seems to be money sent to Mary Geoise by a certain kingdom to bribe the Celestial Dragons," the crew member replied.

"In that case, the guards shouldn't be strong, right?" Shiki became interested. "This is a good thing. If it's not far from us, let's go straight there."

"But, I'm afraid this message is a trap..." The crew member was obviously more rational.

"Afraid of what!" Shiki sheathed his knives. "I am Shiki, what if it's a trap, just break through it directly."

"Wow! As expected of Boss Shiki!"

"Majestic! Overbearing!"

The crew members cheered one after another. They had not tasted defeat since they formed the pirate crew.

The money being transported to the Celestial Dragons, not the heavily guarded Heavenly Tribute, was enough for them to squander for a while.

They could even take this opportunity to spread the fame of their pirate crew even further.

Pirates with the same thoughts were all moving towards the same location, and they all had the same goal.

......

"Rumble!!!!"

The waves on the sea became turbulent. In an instant, the wind and clouds changed, and the originally clear sky suddenly became cloudy.

There seemed to be a behemoth rolling and swimming in the dark clouds.

On the sea, the guards stopped their work and looked curiously into the distance. Their eyes were full of annoyance, and the sudden storm slowed down their progress.

"How can the weather change so quickly."

The guards smiled wryly and sped up their movements. "Stop complaining, control the direction, and continue working..."

In a corner they didn't notice, a man with golden braids silently observed their movements.
