Chapter 84: The Celestial Dragons' 800-Year Secret
"Did I hear that right?"
"A Celestial Dragon is giving him so much face?"
"And she wants to be his woman?"
"Am I crazy, or has the world gone mad?"
In the hall, some people expressed their confusion.
"No, you didn't hear wrong, and you're not crazy."
"That guy, just what kind of charm does he have!"
"And when did Celestial Dragons start speaking so nicely?"
"That guy slapped the Celestial Dragon's face, and instead of getting angry, the Celestial Dragon has taken a liking to him?"
"This world... I don't understand it anymore!"
The crowd was abuzz with discussion.
They looked at Satan with faces full of envy and jealousy.
To become the man of a Celestial Dragon meant power, status, and wealth, everything one could desire.
"That guy is truly a monster!"
Trafalgar Law was speechless.
"Ahahaha, is this the charm of a 300 million Belly man?"
"I really want to have a go with him!"
Urouge grinned.
On the other side, the Straw Hat Pirates were also dumbfounded.
They knew very well how formidable the Celestial Dragons were.
But now, the Celestial Dragons had once again subverted their understanding.
"The Celestial Dragons don't seem as scary as I imagined!"
Sanji couldn't help but say.
In his opinion, that female Celestial Dragon was quite beautiful.
"No, you don't know how terrifying the Celestial Dragons are!"
Hatchan shook his head, as if remembering something terrifying.
"But isn't that guy okay?"
Chopper was confused.
"That can only mean one thing: he is even more terrifying than the Celestial Dragons!"
Hatchan's face was full of apprehension.
"The Demon King Satan, with a bounty of 300 million Belly!"
"He beat a Celestial Dragon before, was then imprisoned in Impel Down, but then broke out of Impel Down!"
"So, the Marines and the World Government are helpless against him!"
"He's a big trouble. Perhaps that's why the Celestial Dragons don't dare to provoke him!"
Robin explained.
"To put it bluntly, strength is supreme!"
"A 300 million Belly man is too terrifying!"
Brook lamented.
"Actually, I'm more curious about what he will choose."
"A Celestial Dragon is proposing to him. If he agrees, he can become the son-in-law of a Celestial Dragon, with wealth and status, everything!"
Sanji said seriously.
"Does he even need to choose?"
"Even a fool would know what to choose!"
The pirates were extremely envious.
Why did they go to sea and become pirates?
Wasn't it for wealth, status, and women?
Now, with just a nod, Satan could have everything a man could ever dream of.
And, although the Celestial Dragon was dressed conservatively, if she removed her disguise, she had a rather good appearance.
Marrying her would be a gain!
You could say that in that moment, Satan was the center of attention!
[Ding, the value of Envy has been detected. Absorb?]
"Absorb!"
[Ding, absorption successful. Obtained 1000 points of Envy, randomly converted to 100 stamina points!]
"It seems the Celestial Dragons are not entirely useless!"
Satan absorbed the envy points and was in a great mood.
His gaze swept over Saint Shalria.
"To become my woman, you must first have an unparalleled appearance!"
"Your looks are acceptable, but you must also possess an ability worthy of me!"
"As you are now, you are not qualified to be my woman!"
Satan refused directly.
As his words fell, the crowd's mouths fell open once again.
Dumbfounded, completely bewildered.
Did they hear that right?
Not only did Satan refuse the Celestial Dragon's proposal, but he looked down on the Celestial Dragon?
How arrogant! The Celestial Dragon was not even qualified!
"This time, the Celestial Dragon is really going to get angry!"
"This guy is too arrogant!"
"Who does he think he is!"
"That's a World Noble, you bastard pirate!"
The nobles were enraged.
Pirates, in their eyes, were just a synonym for lowly.
Nobles were high and mighty.
And Celestial Dragons were the nobles among nobles.
But Satan had ignored the Celestial Dragon, and even insulted her.
Insulting a Celestial Dragon, wasn't that an insult to them as well?
For this, all the nobles were furious.
"Sister, don't be angry!"
"Please don't be angry, or I'll be in for it!"
Saint Charloss advised.
He understood that in front of Satan, he had to be as low-key as possible.
Other people were afraid of the Admirals, afraid of the Celestial Dragons.
But this Satan fellow was reckless, and would even wait for the Admirals to come to him.
This guy knew no fear!
He could not be offended!
At least, before an Admiral arrived, he could not be offended!
"No, I am not angry!"
"On the contrary, I've taken a liking to you!"
"This guy is interesting. I must make him my man!"
Saint Shalria looked at Satan, her eyes burning with passion.
It was the first time she had seen an existence that dared to defy her.
Although she looked down on humans, she was still human.
She was in the prime of her youth, and in the face of Satan's domineering presence, her heart skipped a beat.
"Captain, it seems that woman has taken a liking to you!"
Jewelry Bonney said, dissatisfied.
"A man like me, being liked by women, isn't that a normal thing?"
Satan laughed loudly.
But, he had a new perspective on the Celestial Dragons.
These Celestial Dragons were not as pedantic as he had imagined!
At least, their attitudes could change.
Satan remembered that in the original story, a Celestial Dragon had ended up on Fish-Man Island.
That Celestial Dragon was unruly, but in the end, he turned over a new leaf and even helped the Fish-Man race.
So, didn't that mean that the Celestial Dragons were not as corrupt as they seemed?
Perhaps their education was intentionally like this?
One must know, the twenty kings of the Celestial Dragons, over eight hundred years, under a polygamous system, how many Celestial Dragon descendants had been born?
And just how many Celestial Dragons lived in the Holy Land?
And the twenty kings of the Celestial Dragons had given up their territories to live in the Holy Land.
So, with such a large number of people controlling a fixed amount of resources, would it not be difficult to distribute?
For this reason, did the Celestial Dragons let their descendants degenerate?
Those arrogant, profligate Celestial Dragons, would they spend their entire lives in a muddle?
And the smart, ambitious Celestial Dragons would receive a different kind of education?
In that moment, Satan felt as if he had guessed the truth behind the degeneration of the Celestial Dragons.
One must know, as World Nobles, would they really be so foolish as to let their descendants degenerate?
No, they definitely would not!
Having controlled the world for eight hundred years, the Celestial Dragons' regime had never been shaken.
This could only mean one thing.
The Celestial Dragons were not simple!
There must be an unknown elite team that protected the Celestial Dragons.
And this team must be composed of elite Celestial Dragons.
This team was enough to maintain the rule of the Celestial Dragons.
Even the Five Elders had to follow their commands!
As for these profligate, unmotivated Celestial Dragons, they were just abandoned pawns.
Enjoying the superficial honor and wealth of their power.
But in reality, they had no real power at all.
They only had the ability to mobilize the Admirals!
To the real Celestial Dragons, they were nothing!
At this, Satan also understood why the guards around the Celestial Dragons were all useless.
Because these Celestial Dragons were probably not valued in the Holy Land either.
Unless one day they had a sudden awakening, only then would they enter the real circle of the Celestial Dragons!
A complete survival-of-the-fittest, free-range method.
If this was true, then the strength of the Holy Land was probably terrifyingly strong!
Then, everything could be explained.
The Celestial Dragons had controlled the world for eight hundred years, as stable as a mountain
