Chapter 54: 19 Celestial Dragons, Not a Single One Escaped! (2/3)
Three more Celestial Dragons became ghosts under Rono's blade!
Now, of the original 19 Celestial Dragons, only 9 remained, less than half. These 9 were also retreating while cursing loudly, trying to use the others as shields.
"Feel the fear before death, you pigs!"
"Feel what those people you've killed felt before they died!"
Rono's eyes were filled with rage as he walked towards one of the Celestial Dragons. The Shodai Kitetsu in his hand emanated a chilling demonic aura!
"You damn Marines, what the hell are you good for! Come and protect me!"
"This bastard is coming! Are you all a bunch of good-for-nothings?"
Faced with Rono's steady advance, this Celestial Dragon kept retreating, not forgetting to curse at the Marines.
"Should I cut off your hands first, or your feet!"
Rono came before the Celestial Dragon, muttering to himself.
"Don't even think about harming a Celestial Dragon!"
Several fully armed guards stood in front of the Celestial Dragon.
Swish!
A sharp sword slash instantly cut the armor of these guards in half at the waist. Blood gushed from within the armor as the men fell to the ground.
"You commoner, get away from me, stay away from me!"
That Celestial Dragon screamed in terror, his body instinctively shrinking back.
"Let's cut off your hands first."
Then, coming before the Celestial Dragon, Rono seemed to have made up his mind. With one slash, the Celestial Dragon's hands were cleanly severed!
Now that the sword-wielding Five Elder was a cripple, and the Marines couldn't recover for a while, killing them with a single slash as before would be letting them off too easily.
Rono was prepared to make them truly feel the terror of death!
The terror his parents had once felt!
"Ah!!!"
The Celestial Dragon whose hands had been cut off screamed like a pig being slaughtered, rolling on the ground. Blood flowed everywhere, dyeing the golden floor red!
"'The Vile One' is a devil from hell!"
"Damn it, let's use this time to run!"
The other Celestial Dragons were also scared witless by this scene! If they fell into Rono's hands, wouldn't they also suffer such inhuman torture! These Celestial Dragons scattered in a frenzy.
"Hehe, trying to run?"
Rono snorted coldly. He ignored the Celestial Dragon whose hands he had already cut off and flashed in front of another one.
"Trying to run? Then I'll cut off your feet!"
With one slash, he severed a Celestial Dragon's feet, and the Celestial Dragon let out a pig-like wail!
Swish! Swish! Swish!
With a few more flashes, Rono decided to cut off the feet of all these Celestial Dragons first, to prevent them from running around.
In less than 10 seconds, the feet of all nine Celestial Dragons had been cut off! Now they couldn't escape!
At this moment, the deck of the Golden City was filled with the continuous, miserable screams of the Celestial Dragons! Eighteen human legs lay quietly on the ground, still seeping blood!
"How dare he treat the Celestial Dragons like this!"
"This guy, is he a devil?"
The Marines trembled as they watched this scene! Those Celestial Dragons, whom even they couldn't afford to offend, were like pigs waiting to be slaughtered in Rono's hands! The way Rono treated them was no different from how one would treat livestock!
"Devil? To most people, these Celestial Dragons are the real devils, aren't they?"
Rono sneered, then lined up the nine legless Celestial Dragons in front of him!
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
With a few more continuous sword slashes, the hands of eight of the Celestial Dragons were also cut off!
Now, all nine of these Celestial Dragons had become "human stumps"!
The miserable screams once again echoed throughout the Golden City!
"Alright, your torture is enough. Just peacefully do one last thing for me."
Rono looked at the nine Celestial Dragons lying on the ground, soaked in blood, his tone as calm as an ancient well, devoid of any emotion.
He tied all nine Celestial Dragons to a single rope, then lifted them up with a gentle pull. He easily lifted the nine of them.
"This guy, what is he trying to do?"
Kong, Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, and the others present watched Rono's actions, completely bewildered.
Why didn't he kill these Celestial Dragons?
"Lord Rono, how can I trouble you with such a small matter? I'll do it!"
Just then, Kaido proactively came to Rono's side, eager to please.
"You're a sharp one, young man."
"But be careful, don't kill these Celestial Dragons. They're still useful."
Seeing the eager Kaido, Rono nodded in satisfaction and handed the nine Celestial Dragons to him.
Kaido put away his spiked club and grabbed the nine Celestial Dragons in his hands like chicks, looking quite comical. After all, these Celestial Dragons were now "human stumps," and their size had shrunk.
"All 19 Celestial Dragons have been dealt with!"
"It's time to retreat, because Kong and the others are about to recover their combat strength!"
After finishing all this, Rono shouted loudly, reminding the fighting members of the Rocks Pirates.
His Future Sight Observation Haki had already seen it. Soon, Kong, Garp, and the others would recover. It would be too late to leave then, so Rono also had to prepare for retreat.
However, he was currently in a weakened state, so he needed to use the lives of these Celestial Dragons. To him, the lives of these Celestial Dragons were not as valuable as a dog's. But in the eyes of the Marines and the Five Elders, these were "World Nobles"!
Even if it meant destroying a country, the lives of the Celestial Dragons could not be harmed.
The escape of the Rocks Pirates would all depend on these Celestial Dragons!
"Oh? Is it already over?"
Rocks disengaged from his fight with the two Five Elders. He saw that 10 of the 19 Celestial Dragons were dead, and the remaining 9 had been turned into "human stumps" by Rono and were now with Kaido.
As expected of you, Rono.
Not a single one of the 19 Celestial Dragons was spared!
Rocks was very satisfied with this result!
The Golden Lion, Whitebeard, and the other Division Commanders like Wang Zhi and Silver Axe also disengaged from their battles upon hearing this.
"What a ruthless man!"
Seeing the Celestial Dragons turned into human stumps, the Golden Lion's scalp tingled. Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, John, and Charlotte Linlin were also extremely shocked. Treating the Celestial Dragons like livestock, he was even crazier than Captain Rocks!
"Damn it, only nine Celestial Dragons are left, and they've all been turned into human stumps!"
The four Five Elders were also greatly shocked!
It was over. 10 important figures from 19 families were dead, and the remaining nine were all crippled. It was a complete wipeout!
When they returned, they would have to listen to the complaints of those useless Celestial Dragons in Mary Geoise!
The eyes of the four Five Elders were burning with extreme anger! They wished they could eat Rono alive! After all, Rono had personally dealt with all 19 of these Celestial Dragons!
Just then, suddenly, there was a movement on the Marine side!
Kong, Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr, the four Admiral-level powerhouses, had recovered
