Chapter 99: Bonney and a 19 Celestial Dragon maids -96
At that moment, "Bonney" was sitting carelessly at a bar table, while the owner was silently suffering from the headache caused by this troublesome customer.
Bonney was devouring food ravenously, stuffing her mouth with both hands nonstop, as if she hadn't eaten in days.
Occasionally, when she almost choked from eating too quickly, she would grab a drink from the table and gulp it down in one go, an unladylike sight.
She had arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago just two days ago. At first, she had been touring the island with her companions to sightsee and gather supplies.
But after hearing rumors about delicious food in a bar, she left her companions behind and came here alone.
With twenty full plates of grilled meat being served one after another, they all disappeared into Bonney's stomach without a trace.
Finally… the girl with the enormous appetite felt full.
She sighed in relief, patted her round belly, lazily leaned back in her chair, and let out a satisfied burp.
"Ah~ I'm finally full. Bar owner, if you opened a restaurant instead of a bar, you'd make much more money."
"Shut up, girl!" the owner replied with a frown. "This bar is my dream, not a restaurant… kids like you wouldn't understand that."
"Tch, just an old man about to retire talking about dreams…" Bonney muttered sarcastically before closing her eyes, as if to fall into a light nap.
Only then did the other customers in the bar dare to speak quietly.
"Finally, she stopped… I felt full just watching her. How did she eat all that?"
"That's nothing. I heard the 'Big Eater Girl' can devour an entire mountain when she's truly hungry, even more than Sea Kings!"
"No way… that must be exaggerated."
"Maybe a bit exaggerated, but she really does eat terrifying amounts."
"What a shame… such a beautiful girl. Even if we married her, we couldn't afford to feed her."
"Haha! You're so drunk you're thinking of marrying a Worst Generation pirate?"
"Hahahaha!"
The room burst into laughter.
But they didn't notice that Bonney, who appeared asleep, was slowly furrowing her brow.
'Tch… these idiots can't say anything useful?'
While she was considering leaving to rejoin her companions, the bar door suddenly burst open.
A man who seemed to be a regular customer walked in.
The bar owner frowned. "Tom! This door was custom-made and expensive! Be careful!"
Tom waved him off and walked straight to the table, grabbed a cup of rum, and downed it in one go without asking.
"Hey, Tom! That was my drink!"
THUD!
Tom slammed the cup onto the table, took a deep breath, and grinned confidently.
"You bunch of trash… You won't believe what I just saw!"
The entire bar went silent.
Even Bonney slightly opened her eyes, intrigued.
Tom smiled and said, "Boss, give me a glass of 'Rosy Life'. Let these idiots pay."
"What?! Don't push it, Tom!"
"That's the most expensive drink here!"
"If your story isn't good, we'll drag you to the slave auction house to pay your debt!"
But Tom ignored them, slowly savoring his drink.
Then he finally spoke:
"You losers sitting in this bar have no idea what just happened."
"A ship… a massive ship made entirely of gold… flew over the entire Sabaody Archipelago!"
Silence.
"Yes… It was flying! A golden ship flying in the sky!"
Everyone's eyes widened.
"Impossible…"
But Tom continued excitedly:
"And I'm not done yet!"
"On that ship… There was only one person!"
"The man whose name has risen like lightning across the world!"
"The strongest rising star of the new generation!"
"God of Destruction… Peter!!!"
In an instant, the entire bar fell completely silent.
CRASH!
A glass fell and shattered.
Everyone turned toward the sound, only to see the bar owner himself drop it.
"Tom… are you serious?"
"Is that man really here?!"
Tom nodded confidently. "Of course."
"And just like the rumors say, he was surrounded by a group of beautiful women. No doubt it was him."
The owner's face turned pale.
"Disaster… even that man has come?!"
He rushed out from behind the counter, hastily gathering his things while shouting at the customers:
"You idiots! Stop drinking! The bar is closed!"
"What?!"
"Are you crazy?!"
But the owner ignored them. "If you stay here, you'll die… I'm leaving!"
Without hesitation, he fled.
Some customers finished their drinks quickly, while others panicked and ran.
In the corner… Bonney had already disappeared without anyone noticing.
"Where did that girl go?!"
"Don't tell me… she went after the God of Destruction?!"
"Run!"
"Get out of here!"
Elsewhere…
Bonney was already moving toward her target.
As one of the Worst Generation pirates with a high bounty, the name "Peter" was not something she could ignore.
But she didn't realize… that the man she was heading toward was not an ordinary pirate; he was a real monster.
And on the other side… Peter was walking with Stussy toward the slave auction house, completely unaware that a new prey was already heading straight toward him.
Although her encounter with Peter had mostly been a coincidence, after Stussy accepted the situation, she had actually started to enjoy her current life.
These rare moments when she was alone with one person were extremely precious to her.
Even though the plan for a "normal couple date" with Peter had failed, at the very least, this man's mind wasn't filled with muscles, and he still knew how to give gifts.
Even if it was just a small bouquet of roses, to Stussy it was more valuable than priceless jewels.
This put her in a good mood for the entire walk, even humming a light tune, making Peter feel as if he were on a date with a 17 or 18-year-old girl.
But that pleasant atmosphere didn't last long. A loud commotion soon came from ahead.
"No… no! The Celestial Dragons are coming!"
"Clear the road! Everyone kneel! Offending the Celestial Dragons means death!"
"Run! They're coming!"
With those screams, a large crowd began rushing in all directions, and sporadic gunshots could be heard in the distance.
Peter casually flicked his tail, sending two idiots rushing toward him flying away, then raised an eyebrow toward the distance and said in surprise:
"Celestial Dragons? What luck… to run into these pigs."
Their perfect date being ruined annoyed Stussy a little, too.
But since the other party was Celestial Dragons, even for her as a former CP0 member, the pressure was real.
"What should we do? Should we hide first?"
"I hide?" Peter laughed as if he had heard something hilarious.
"What a joke. It's always others who run from me, not the other way around."
"We'll stay right here. I want to see which 'noble' Celestial Dragon is coming this time."
Hearing that, Stussy bit her lip slightly, feeling a brief moment of worry, but she quickly realized.
The man beside her wasn't ordinary… even Celestial Dragons wouldn't dare act arrogant in front of him.
And so a strange scene appeared: in the middle of a crowd fleeing in panic, a man and a woman stood calmly in the center of the road without moving.
And after Peter had casually knocked away a few people earlier, the rest had learned to avoid him, passing around them instead.
Still, they couldn't help but think regretfully:
"What a perfect couple… too bad they'll die under Celestial Dragon bullets."
Meanwhile, Bonney, who had come out of the bar following the situation, hid in an alley after hearing about the Celestial Dragons.
She peeked out carefully and quickly noticed the man and woman standing in the middle of the crowd.
"That man… no doubt about it. He matches the wanted poster exactly."
"But why is he just standing there? Does he intend to confront the Celestial Dragons?"
Bonney hesitated, wondering whether she should step out and warn them.
But before she could decide, the Celestial Dragons arrived.
Bang! Bang!
Dolores fired two shots from her golden pistol, killing two slow runners, then shouted angrily:
"You filthy scum! Clear the road immediately! If we miss that golden ship, none of you will survive!"
She then fired two more shots into the sky to vent her anger.
Beside her, Charlia was panting heavily after running the whole way.
After catching her breath, she said:
"Dolores… stop. Killing them won't help. Their bodies will just block the road."
"Let's use the CP agents to clear the way and hurry to find that flying ship."
Dolores reluctantly agreed and ordered the CP members to move forward and clear the path.
As they advanced, Charlia muttered angrily:
"I should've ridden slaves like my brother… how dare they make me walk like this? The owner of that golden ship should be punished!"
But suddenly, one of the CP agents at the front stopped.
Charlia almost crashed into him and kicked him in anger:
"Get out of the way, trash! Why are you just standing there? Open the road!"
But the agent didn't move. His voice trembled:
"Lady Charlia… there's a serious problem ahead…"
"What? I am a Celestial Dragon!"
When she looked up, she saw a man and a woman standing in their path.
"Who are they? Remove them immediately!"
At that moment, Dolores stepped forward and studied Peter.
She saw his muscular body and simple clothing, no different from ordinary commoners… but something caught her attention.
"Wait!" she suddenly shouted, eyes sparkling.
"Charlia! Look! He has a tail! A rare species!"
"What? Let me see!"
Charlia pushed the CP agents aside and stepped forward.
Indeed, there was a monkey-like tail swaying behind him.
For Celestial Dragons like them, this was like pulling an SSR rarity in a game.
In an instant, Charlia decided:
"This one will be my slave!"
"CP4! Capture him immediately!"
Dolores added eagerly:
"CP3! You too! Don't let him escape!"
But CP3 and CP4 exchanged looks and didn't move.
"What? Didn't you hear us? Move!"
At that moment, two white figures dropped from the rooftops.
"Please stop, Lady Charlia and Lady Dolores."
They were CP0 agents.
Dolores immediately shouted:
"Perfect! CP0, capture him!"
But one of them said in a heavy voice:
"Please calm down. That man carries a bounty of 1.39 billion Berries from the World Government."
"What?!"
Charlia froze for a moment.
Despite her arrogance, she still feared real power.
She began to step back slightly:
"W-well… maybe we should…"
But before she could finish, a gunshot rang out.
Bang!
Dolores fired again in anger:
"I don't care! That monkey is mine!"
Charlia shouted:
"You idiot!!"
But it was too late.
Peter smiled coldly, catching the bullet between his fingers.
"I've decided something."
"I will collect 19 Celestial Dragon maids from different families."
"And I'll start with you two."
He flicked the bullet back casually, killing one of the guards instantly.
CP0 immediately shouted:
"Fall back! We'll hold him off!"
Charlia fled without looking back, while Dolores refused to retreat and drew her sword.
"Take him down! That man is mine!"
CP0 moved in from both sides, while CP3 and CP4 attacked Stussy, and the guards fell into chaos.
Peter smirked:
"Idiots."
With a single flick of his tail, he sent both CP0 agents flying in an instant.
On the other side, Stussy moved gracefully, dodging attacks as if playing, and piercing enemies effortlessly with her finger technique.
One CP4 agent tried to defend himself:
"Iron Body: King Kong!"
But the attack pierced through him easily, opening a hole in his chest.
Stussy glanced at him calmly:
"So this is what happens when you train your brain into a muscle."
Then she rose into the air to pursue the fleeing Celestial Dragons.
Meanwhile, Dolores, now protected by only two guards, finally felt real fear for the first time…
