Unfortunately, those CP0 agents would never know the answer!

Watching the agents meant to protect them all fall down, Kryngdorn and Baskandal panicked.

"Hey! You bastards! Who gave you permission to fall down! Get up and protect me!" Kryngdorn raged powerlessly.

Auguro stepped over the CP0 corpses and slowly approached the two.

"You-you lowlife! Don't come any closer!" Kryngdorn shrieked in terror, pulling out the pistol he wore. It was actually a Colt Revolver manufactured by the Holy Spirit Empire!

Bang!

Kryngdorn fired a shot at Auguro with a trembling hand. He actually managed to aim correctly this time. The bullet shot straight toward Auguro's chest. Auguro's expression remained unchanged; he simply watched.

The next second, the bullet stopped precisely ten centimeters in front of Auguro's chest, still spinning rapidly!

Against the Jiki Jiki no Mi (Magnet-Magnet Fruit), bullets were mere toys! Auguro could manipulate and twist them however he wished.

Auguro flicked his finger. The bullet instantly reversed its direction with a swoosh, piercing Kryngdorn's glass mask!

"Aah!"

Kryngdorn shuddered, instantly slumping to the ground. The bullet flying past his scalp made him genuinely feel the sensation of death!

"Y-you monster! Die!" Kryngdorn screamed in terror, frantically pulling the trigger of his gun.

However, he was horrified to find that no matter how hard he pulled, the pistol's trigger would not budge! Auguro watched Kryngdorn's clownish antics, smiling silently. With his Magnet-Magnet Fruit, how could he possibly fire a gun? If Auguro willed it, the pistol was nothing more than a lump of iron!

"Give that to me!"

Auguro sneered. The revolver instantly seemed to come alive, slipping out of Kryngdorn's hand and landing in Auguro's grasp as Kryngdorn cried out.

Auguro aimed the gun at Kryngdorn and Baskandal and said coldly, "I give you two choices: Die, or promise the world to release all slaves and never traffic them again!"

"You lowlife, how dare you threaten us!" Baskandal's face was flushed with anger. They were Celestial Dragons; they had never suffered such humiliation!

"I warn you, release us immediately! Otherwise, the World Government and the Navy will never forgive you!"

Even at this moment, they held absolute confidence in the World Government and the Navy. After all, they had ruled the seas for 800 years. Many had dared to challenge their authority, but every one of them ended up destroyed! Was a mere Auguro more powerful than Rocks was in his day?

"Hmph! When this is over, I'll have your corpse stuffed as a trophy for my display room! I'll tell everyone that anyone who dares to offend a Celestial Dragon deserves only death!"

Auguro shook his head slightly at the threat.

"I was overthinking things! How could pigs like you possibly understand human language!"

"Letting you live only wastes everyone's food!"

Sensing the change in Auguro's tone, Baskandal grew nervous.

"What are you going to do? I warn you, don't do anything reckless!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

His answer was a burst of gunfire.

The Mozambique Drill (two shots to the chest, one to the head)—a technique from the original work that even a god would struggle to survive.

Kryngdorn immediately collapsed, urine visibly flowing down his pants.

"No! Don't kill me! I..."

Before he could finish his plea, Auguro fired a bullet into his forehead, ending his sinful life.

"Quick! Gunshots!"

Not far away, a crowd of people gathered. A unit of Marines was drawn by the sound of the gunfire. They were the garrison of the Sabaody Archipelago, having rushed over after receiving the distress signal.

Seeing the two bodies lying on the ground, the Navy Colonel leading the unit was stunned.

"It's over! A disaster is coming!"

A Celestial Dragon is dead! This was going to break the heavens!

He then recognized Auguro standing nearby. Although he knew he was no match, he stiffened and gave the order.

"This man has brutally murdered a Celestial Dragon! He is guilty of heinous crimes! Men, seize the criminal!"

Despite the fear in their hearts, the Marine unit, having received the command, raised their weapons and charged at Auguro.

Auguro glared coldly. Conqueror's Haki instantly poured out.

Thud! Thud!

The entire unit of Marines instantly passed out, with only a handful of two or three people still standing.

Swoosh!

Auguro's figure appeared before those few survivors like a ghost. Before they could react, a fist wrapped in Armament Haki slammed into their stomachs. The men were struck down without any power to resist. With Auguro's current Vice-Captain-level strength, fighting a few non-officers was completely one-sided.

Auguro had no intention of killing the Marines. Instead, he said coldly, "Take these two Celestial Dragons back and tell the Five Elders for me."

"I don't want anyone buying or selling slaves anymore. Tell those swineherds to manage their pigs (Celestial Dragons)!"

"Otherwise, if anyone dares to leave Mariejois, this is the consequence!"

At this point, Auguro was hardly worried about the World Government anymore. If you want to fight, then fight! But you will bear the consequences!

Auguro then weighed the revolver in his hand.

"This is a great gun! From now on, let's call it the Gun of Judgment! Or maybe the Pig Revolver isn't bad either!"

"After all, it's perfect for killing pigs!"

Good heavens! He didn't just kill the Celestial Dragon; he was trying to nail them to the pillar of shame!

If the Celestial Dragons, who were elevated to godhood, were called "pigs" by everyone, the World Government would become a global laughingstock!

The remaining Marines did not dare utter a single word, only watching as Auguro departed. As for the revolver, Auguro naturally took it with him.

It was a gun that had killed a Celestial Dragon! It had high collectible value!

At the auction house, the battle between Soi Fon and Kizaru continued. Both showed signs of fatigue—not physical fatigue, but mental. As extreme-speed fighters, they had to maintain maximum focus every second of the fight, or the opponent would find a weakness. Over time, both were exhausted.

"Soi Fon, we can go now!"

Auguro returned, signaling Soi Fon to leave. Kizaru sighed deeply, knowing the two Celestial Dragons were likely dead. But the damage was done; he was powerless to change it.

"I hope you don't regret what you've done today!" Kizaru looked at Auguro with a grave expression.

Auguro merely gave a dismissive smile.

"Heh-heh, you should worry about yourselves first!"

Based on the intelligence sent by Sōsuke Aizen, Ace had been handed over to the Navy by Blackbeard! This meant the Summit War was already in its preparation phase! At a time like this, the World Government would be desperate for fewer complications!
