"The captain of the Beast Pirates?"
At this moment, Rayleigh and the others also looked dumbfounded as they stared at the dragon that had suddenly appeared above their heads.
But just after those words were spoken, they also noticed something off.
This dragon... was pink?
And the dragon's head that extended downward was also extremely huge. At a glance, one could tell that it was not the head of the Beasts Pirates' captain.
However, a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user suddenly appeared at the Sabaody Archipelago. What was this supposed to be?
Even Sakazuki's expression became sharp as he raised his head and stared intently at that dragon, just as he was about to tell this thing to get lost...
That pink dragon suddenly opened its enormous mouth.
"Eh, it really is lively here!"
As soon as this voice fell, Sakazuki, who had originally wanted to say something, seemed to recall something, and his pupils suddenly shrank.
That voice… Sakazuki's eyes widened while staring fixedly at the pink dragon that had torn open the ceiling. He no longer paid any attention to the Straw Hat Pirates beside him, seeming both doubtful and incredulous. "You're actually a Devil Fruit user?"
Damn it, this guy is a Mythical Zoan user. How on earth did that group of North Blue's mafia manage to capture her?
Could it be that the mafia family in the North Blue is also extremely strong?
Although his heart was full of questions, he knew very well that now was not the time to worry about those things.
Molten magma surged all over his body as he spoke in a gloomy tone. "Looks like the Umbrella Corporation wants to get involved in this incident."
Trash is trash after all. From the very beginning, there was no need to negotiate with this bunch of garbage.
But as soon as these words fell, the people beside him who heard Sakazuki's words were stunned.
Everyone: "...?!"
The Umbrella Corporation?
Rayleigh's face showed surprise. During this period, he had heard quite a lot of news related to this Umbrella Corporation.
Moreover, Shanks had come to visit him once not long ago and told him that the blood left behind by that idiot captain was within the Umbrella Corporation.
Originally, when he heard that the Umbrella Corporation had come to the Sabaody Archipelago, he had planned to meet them, but unfortunately, he missed them by accident.
At that time, he happened to be inside the auction house as a slave. By the time he found out, the Umbrella Corporation had already left the Sabaody Archipelago.
Now, it seems... the Umbrella Corporation was also preparing to intervene in this incident?
Different from Rayleigh, upon hearing about the Umbrella Corporation, the Straw Hat Pirates instead showed excited expressions.
They knew very well how powerful the Umbrella Corporation was. If the Umbrella Corporation had also come, then they would definitely have a chance to escape from here!
Even Teach, who had been deliberately minimizing his presence the whole time, was the same.
In fact, he was even roaring inside his heart.
There's still a chance!
As expected... This era belongs to him, Teach!
He still can't die!
However, just as everyone was showing their various reactions…
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Gerd, who had transformed into a giant dragon, frowned. Then she glanced at the situation inside.
Finally, her gaze landed on the kid wearing a straw hat, and a trace of surprise appeared on her face. "I've seen you in the newspaper. Are you Ace's younger brother? So..."
She then turned her head and finally spotted Teach in the corner. "Rocks' blood? Marshall D. Teach, famed for his loyalty and righteousness, is really here as well? But why are you crouching like that?"
Feeling the gazes around him, Teach fell silent. But before he could say anything…
"You all don't seem to be in very good shape! Forget it, let's not talk about that."
Gerd did not pay them any more attention.
As if she had noticed something, she directly extended her massive claw.
Under the puzzled looks of everyone and Sakazuki's stern gaze, she slashed toward the interior of the auction house, instantly cutting open all the iron cages.
After that, she glanced at the stunned and incredulous slaves, then looked again at Maya, who was shrinking in the corner, pretending he wasn't there.
A playful expression appeared at the corner of her mouth as she directly reached out and grabbed him.
"M-my lord, spare my life!"
Maya begged without any hesitation.
However, Gerd ignored him. She directly used her claws to remove the keys from his waist and threw them onto the ground. Then she tossed Maya from her hand into the air.
Just as he was about to hit the ground…
Scorching dragon breath instantly spewed onto Maya, burning him directly into ashes.
Only then did Gerd feel much more refreshed. "These damn slave traders! I finally feel satisfied now."
All of this was completed in just a brief moment, causing Sakazuki's face to darken when he saw it.
Even the magma on his body surged violently. "What exactly are you doing?!"
Although he also despised that slave trader, what was this person doing right in front of an Admiral?
This was the Sabaody Archipelago, a territory under marine jurisdiction, and that slave trader was also recognized by the World Government!
"Revenge. What else could I be doing?"
Gerd laughed freely. Then she ignored Sakazuki's darkened expression and looked at the other slave traders while revealing a cold smile.
This enormous dragon-faced smile immediately caught the attention of the other slave traders.
Their bodies trembled instantly as they wailed loudly. "This has nothing to do with us!! Admiral, we're a slave-catching group recognized by the World Government!"
They were so frightened that snot and tears streamed down their faces, and even their pants began to get wet.
"Admiral, save us!"
"This monster doesn't put the World Government in her eyes at all!"
"This is a provocation against the World Government! Save us!"
All the slave traders frantically begged Sakazuki, hoping to receive his protection.
But Gerd ignored them. She directly took a deep breath, just as she was about to spit downward…
"What exactly are you doing?!"
