Chapter 199 - 198: Massacre

April 26, 1502, Age of the Sea Circle

"Hehehe, I didn't think I'd find a decent woman in such a filthy place," said the obese Celestial Dragon as he approached Ginny with a lecherous look in his eyes.

Originally, he had been touring the South Blue with the goal of reducing his boredom and amassing a few extra riches when he suddenly encountered Ginny. The instant he saw her, his dick reacted intensely, commanding him to possess this woman at any cost!

For a Celestial Dragon, traveling down to the vile lower world was a troublesome ordeal, and thus they rarely did so. Still, whenever one of these depraved individuals ventured into the realm of common mortals, all kinds of tragedies ensued—though the people of this world remained largely unaware of them and would still receive such "divine guests" with pomp and pride.

If they were lucky, the Celestial Dragon would spend only a few days in their kingdom and depart after loading up vast quantities of treasure. Yet, most of the time, things did not end so "happily." After all, Celestial Dragons were taught from childhood that everything in existence belonged to them by divine right.

If that was the case, why would they restrain themselves when they desired something? It mattered not whether it was an invaluable treasure or another person's lover—they simply took whatever they wanted, and no one could stop them. Such were the rules of this cruel world.

However, this time, the Celestial Dragon had made the grave mistake of coveting the wrong woman, and he would soon learn with terror the enormity of his error.

"Bastard! Keep your filthy hands off me!" Ginny shouted furiously, launching a kick that missed the obese Celestial Dragon's face by a single centimeter.

Of course, it hadn't been the foolish noble himself who dodged the attack. The CP0 agent standing beside him had swiftly deflected Ginny's strike, ensuring that his master remained unharmed.

"I like women like you," the Celestial Dragon said with a twisted grin. "They always start off so aggressive, but after being fucked a few times, they turn into obedient bitches, hehehe." He stuck out his tongue lasciviously, making his face look even more idiotic.

Without saying a word, the two CP0 agents in the room stepped forward and seized Ginny firmly, restraining her so she couldn't move an inch. Although she had greatly improved her combat ability in recent years, she still stood no chance against these elite agents.

The obese Celestial Dragon then took a syringe from a small box on a nearby table, and, gazing at Ginny with lust-filled eyes, said,

"This drug will help you relax a bit and keep you from being so aggressive. I promise that in just a couple of hours, you'll be begging me to fuck you and fill your body with my seed! Hehehe."

The repulsive Celestial Dragon let out another disturbing laugh, and even the vice admirals standing guard outside the room—who could hear everything—felt an almost uncontrollable urge to punch him square in the face.

On this occasion, five vice admirals and two CP0 agents had been dispatched to protect this detestable individual. The Cipher Pol operatives were trained to be perfect dogs—emotionless, obedient, and unwavering even when ordered to assist in the most heinous crimes. The vice admirals, however, lacked such deep ideological conditioning. Though they still harbored disgust toward the obese noble, none would ever dare to express it openly.

Ginny struggled desperately to free herself from the agents' grip, but she simply lacked the strength to break free. All she could do was watch, eyes brimming with tears, as the Celestial Dragon approached her with the syringe.

In that moment, as she stood on the brink of being humiliated against her will, the only image that surfaced in her mind was that of Orion. For the first time, she fully understood her heart and embraced the feelings she had long suppressed.

But now it was too late. She was about to be taken to Mary Geoise by this monstrous man, to be confined there and used as his sexual plaything. Although the Celestial Dragon had said she would become his eighth wife, Ginny knew well that the so-called "wives" abducted from the lower world were nothing more than disposable toys to the World Nobles.

Realizing she might never see Orion again and would be forced to serve this vile man—perhaps even bear his children—Ginny's tears overflowed, streaming down her beautiful cheeks.

Seeing the look of despair on her face, the Celestial Dragon became even more aroused and began to laugh obscenely as he stripped off his clothes, eager to violate her to his heart's content. Meanwhile, the two CP0 agents remained motionless, holding the struggling woman with mechanical precision, their professionalism as cold as their hearts.

Little by little, Ginny felt a searing heat spreading through her body as her mind began to cloud. She shifted restlessly from side to side, her thighs pressing together as an overwhelming wetness spread between her legs, driven by a desire she could no longer control.

It was as if thousands of ants were crawling all over her skin, and only one thought consumed her mind: sex.

She was dying of lust, desperate to lose herself in a frenzy of unrestrained pleasure. The drug the Celestial Dragon had injected into her veins was truly potent—within mere moments, she had nearly lost all will to resist the advances of the wretched noble.

Seeing that everything was now "ready," the Celestial Dragon reached out his pudgy hands toward her in an obscene gesture—but before he could touch Ginny's beautiful body, one of the CP0 agents suddenly raised his head and leaped toward the noble with incredible speed.

At that same instant, the ceiling of the room was sliced clean in two by a blade, and Orion descended from above like a raging bull. With his cutlass gripped tightly in his hand, he unleashed a powerful strike meant to obliterate the Celestial Dragon on the spot. Yet, just in time, the Cipher Pol agent intercepted the attack, saving his master from certain death.

Even so, Orion didn't stop for an instant. Using Soru, he appeared before the other agent who was still holding Ginny captive. Pressing both fists against his chest, Orion muttered coldly,

"Rokuogan."

Bang!

The agent's body was blasted away, crashing into one of the room's walls and leaving behind a chaotic wreck. In the same moment, Orion appeared beside Ginny and whispered softly in her ear,

"Don't worry, Ginny. Everything's going to be fine. I'm here."

Then, Orion opened his Pocket Dimension, intending to place her safely inside—but before he could, the Cipher Pol agent who had blocked his sword strike released a surge of darkness from his body, shattering the dimensional gate Orion had just opened in midair.

Orion's eyes widened in shock. He instantly recognized the man—the user of the Yami Yami no Mi he had encountered back in Mary Geoise!

This individual's abilities were extremely troublesome, as they could interfere with Orion's spatial powers. That meant he wouldn't be able to escape using Space Gate as long as this man was present.

Suddenly, the door to the room burst open, and five vice admirals stormed in, ready to protect the Celestial Dragon and eliminate the arrogant intruder who had just arrived. At the same time, the CP0 agent Orion had blasted into the wall earlier rose unharmed and rejoined the fight.

Holding Ginny in his arms, Orion looked around at the formidable lineup of enemies, his mind racing for a solution. Yet no matter how much he thought, with his current power it was impossible for him to escape this place successfully on his own.

At least, that would have been true under normal circumstances.

Looking down at Ginny, whose face was flushed and eyes half-lidded from the aphrodisiac drug, Orion smiled tenderly. He felt fortunate to have arrived before they could truly harm her. Her condition was troublesome, but with his medical knowledge, he could purge the drug from her system easily—if only he had a few minutes.

Lowering his head, Orion gently kissed her forehead and made up his mind to use his last resort.

He was lucky that there wasn't an admiral guarding this Celestial Dragon, but even so, five vice admirals and two CP0 agents were far beyond what he could handle in his current state. His strength was only sufficient to face a mid-level vice admiral at best.

Closing his eyes, Orion focused his attention on the strange energy within him. Ever since his hidden attribute 'Understanding' had improved during Victoria's mission, he had become aware of this mysterious force and strongly suspected it to be connected to the System itself.

Although he still couldn't perceive it clearly, he had begun to grasp its nature—it felt like a divine power. Previously, he had drawn upon a fragment of that energy to create his new ability, Door Collapse, but this time he intended to go one step further: to use the very energy that contained all others within it.

It was difficult to explain, but it was as if within him existed a kind of structure, like a chalice, filled with many other forms of energy—the ones he normally used to activate his various abilities.

What he wanted to do now was not to use the energies inside the chalice, as he had done when creating Door Collapse, but to draw upon the very essence that formed the chalice itself.

He had never attempted such a thing before, but he was almost certain this process was the foundation of Berserk Mode. At the moment, he couldn't activate Berserk Mode directly because it was still on cooldown , yet he suspected he could induce a similar state by manipulating the mysterious energy that composed that inner chalice.

However, once he did so, there would be no turning back. The system would likely deactivate again—and there was even a chance it could become permanently damaged or shut down entirely. Still, right now, none of that mattered to Orion.

The only thing on his mind was getting Ginny to safety, no matter the price he had to pay.

With a single mental command, Orion 'shattered' a part of the chalice inside his body and immediately absorbed its energy, forcing it to violently course through his veins and triggering the same powerful state he had experienced before: Berserk Mode

His gamble had paid off, though he didn't have much time—he would have to act decisively.

When he opened his eyes again, his pupils glowed in multiple colors, the result of his Prism Eyes ability, which automatically activated whenever he entered Berserk Mode.

With a small leap from where he stood, Orion vanished without a trace and reappeared behind one of the Vice Admirals. Even though the man had sensed him coming thanks to his Observation Haki, he couldn't move fast enough to stop Orion's attack.

A single swing of his sword was all it took—the Vice Admiral's head flew through the air. Before it could even hit the ground, Orion had already unleashed a second attack: an Electro that struck another Vice Admiral square in the chest, shattering his ribs and heart and leaving him on the brink of death.

Finally, the remaining three Vice Admirals reacted. Enveloping themselves in Armament Haki, they charged at Orion, who used Soru to evade their strikes while simultaneously activating Un Fleur, forming a Shigan that pierced straight through another Vice Admiral's forehead.

Only two Vice Admirals were left, yet Orion looked visibly exhausted. Even so, he raised his cutlass and shouted—

"Kamusari!"

The two Vice Admirals tried to defend themselves but immediately realized something was wrong. This Kamusari was not the incomplete version Orion often used—it was the true version, infused with his Conqueror's Haki!

The two unfortunate Marines stood no chance against an attack of such caliber. They were cleaved cleanly in half, their deaths swift and brutal. But Orion's strike didn't stop there—it kept tearing forward, slicing the ship itself in two and annihilating everything in its path.

The two CP0 agents instantly grasped the gravity of the situation. After a brief exchange of glances, the Yami Yami no Mi user stepped forward to confront Orion, while the other seized the naked Celestial Dragon and escaped using Geppo and Soru in tandem.

Orion's multicolored eyes followed their actions, and he quickly decided on his next move. He couldn't allow a single one of them to leave this place alive—any survivors would endanger Ginny and everyone he loved. Thus, every enemy present was doomed to die.

Still, the Yami Yami no Mi user was a troublesome opponent, so Orion would need to resort to a special method.

Still holding Ginny in his arms, Orion used Soru and appeared in front of the agent, launching a Tempest Kick coated in Armament Haki. The agent easily deflected the attack with his own Tempest Kick, but almost instantly found himself facing another Kamusari!

He reacted in time, activating his darkness powers to repel the devastating blow. However, that had been Orion's plan all along. Like a phantom, Orion materialized before the man, a bloodstained smile on his face, and stretched out his hand, hurling a small orb of energy into the darkness that could swallow anything.

"Door Collapse," Orion murmured, watching as the darkness began to tremble.

The agent's expression changed completely—he was suddenly struggling to control the very darkness that had always obeyed him. Space itself began to compress around him, and in a flash of horror, he saw his own body being crushed by the overwhelming pressure of darkness and space colliding.

He wasn't a normal Logia, and his body couldn't disperse like other Logia users. As a result, he couldn't escape the immense spatial pressure that compressed him tighter and tighter—until he became nothing more than a small, bloody lump of flesh the size of a football ball.

Surely, this proud user of one of the most powerful Devil Fruits in history had never imagined he would meet such a gruesome end, slain by an unknown man in the distant South Blue.

Meanwhile, Orion was gasping heavily, struggling to breathe. He had overexerted himself by unleashing so many powerful techniques in such quick succession, though his rampage had been remarkably effective—within moments, he had obliterated his enemies.

Now that the shadow fruit user was gone, he could have simply opened a Space Gate to return home safely. But he didn't. Two targets still remained, and he absolutely couldn't allow them to escape.

The CP0 agent who had escaped while carrying the Celestial Dragon was now sprinting through the sky at full speed, desperately trying to put as much distance as possible between himself and Orion. However, only moments after leaving the battlefield, he sensed something behind him—and when he turned, he saw Orion closing in at terrifying speed, about to catch up!

Panicking, the agent prepared himself for battle, but suddenly a hand materialized in front of him. It began to expand at an incredible rate until it turned into a massive fist coated in Armament Haki, crashing down upon him with unstoppable force.

It was as if a colossal giant had struck him. Throwing the Celestial Dragon into the sea to protect him from harm, the agent gathered all his strength and launched a counterattack against the enormous fist. Whatever happened, he could not allow the Celestial Dragon to be injured!

Bam!!!

The gigantic fist's strike collided with the agent's much smaller one, and he immediately felt his bones shatter. The massive blow continued its descent with tremendous force, pulverizing the agent completely against a patch of land that had suddenly appeared from nowhere atop the ocean.

All that remained after the impact was a pool of blood and scattered human remains. Orion then dispelled his Un Fleur ability, making the enormous fist vanish.

As for the patch of land, it was something he had created using a combination of his Canvas Realm and Art Coating abilities. Now, the obese and naked Celestial Dragon was lying on that same platform, trembling in absolute terror at the horrifying spectacle he had just witnessed.

Yet instead of begging for his life before the overwhelming figure standing before him, he wore an arrogant expression and began the same pompous tirade of superiority he had repeated countless times throughout his life.

"What do you think you're doing, you filthy scum?! Don't you know who I am? I'm a Celestial Dragon! Do you have any idea what happens to those who anger me?! I don't care if you kill those Marine trash, but if you dare to touch a single hair on my head, I'll make your life a living he—mmmpf!"

The depraved man couldn't finish his infuriating speech because Orion grabbed his face, covering his mouth in the process. Lifting him into the air by the head, Orion didn't waste another second on such worthless filth. He simply clenched his fist tightly, ending the wretch's existence in an instant.

The Celestial Dragon's head burst like a watermelon, offering no resistance whatsoever—but Orion felt nothing. At that moment, he was completely drained, and he could tell he wouldn't be able to stay conscious much longer.

For that reason, he immediately opened a portal home and dove inside without hesitation. As he fell through the dimensional tunnel, Orion felt the energy that had temporarily amplified his power fade away, replaced by unbearable pain.

This time, he had gone too far, and the damage to his body was severe. On top of that, the system's display had frozen, showing no changes at all. Still, feeling Ginny's warm body in his arms and knowing that she was safe, Orion showed a deeply satisfied smile.
