"What do we do?" Upon hearing the news of the Celestial Dragons being attacked, Kizaru was sweating profusely with anxiety. Wang Han had just reached a crucial moment in his speech when this worrisome problem arose. Now, he could only hope that this matter had nothing to do with Wang Han and his group; otherwise, he would be severely injured even if he didn't die today.
From the moment Kizaru first met Wang Han, he sensed a faint yet intense aura of blood emanating from him. He knew Garp's words were probably not an exaggeration, because based solely on that faint scent of blood, Wang Han was the strongest person he had ever seen. He now only hoped that the task of standing up for the Celestial Dragons wouldn't fall on his shoulders.
"Let's go take a look," Wang Han said.
"Haha, don't worry about it too much. It's common for Celestial Dragons to get beaten up." Kizaru laughed and instructed Smoker, "Captain Smoker, go and handle this. I'll accompany Mr. Wang Han to continue our tour."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, Smoker quickly headed in the direction from which the message had come. He couldn't wait to leave; the pressure from Admiral Kizaru and Wang Han was immense, and he felt awkward being there, even though the Celestial Dragons' affairs were also troublesome.
"Are you sure it's okay? After all, he's a Celestial Dragon." Wang Han asked.
"It's alright, it happens all the time, you'll get used to it," Kizaru quickly said, and continued strolling around with Wang Han.

Meanwhile, after learning of the Celestial Dragons' defeat, Sengoku also considered the same issue Kizaru was thinking: the Celestial Dragons and Wang Han must not be allowed to meet, otherwise, given the Celestial Dragons' nature, something terrible would definitely happen. Therefore, Sengoku redeployed Akainu to the Sabaody Archipelago.
—————————————
Ten minutes ago, in the Sabaody Archipelago, in the lawless zone. Since Wang Han had provided enough money to buy a good knife, an auction house was undoubtedly the best choice. Kuina and Tashigi happened to see an advertisement for a fine, fast knife called Fifty Craftsmanship, so they went to the auction.
During the auction, when the sharp sword was placed on the auction stage, it sparked a fierce bidding war. However, after the Heavenly Dragon opened the bidding and everyone fell silent, no one expected that Kuina would dare to continue bidding. Even Tashigi was unable to stop her in time.
"You lowly commoner, how dare you bid against me!" The Celestial Dragon with the bubble-like hair ornament glared angrily at Kuina, who was shrouded in a black robe. He pulled out a pistol and pointed it at her, feeling his dignity had been insulted. "Now, kneel down before me."
"What to do? What to do?" Even though Tashigi was a bit naive, she was now seeing everything and was anxious. She naturally knew about the Celestial Dragons' status and privileges. If it were anyone else, she probably would have pretended not to see it, but this was little Tashigi! Not only did she get along well with little Tashigi, but more importantly, little Tashigi was one of the closest people to Wang Han. Knowing Wang Han's temper, he might explode. She couldn't afford to offend either side.
"Who the hell are you?!" Kuina glanced at the Celestial Dragon pointing a gun at her, gripped her sword, and drew the blade. She genuinely didn't know what "Celestial Dragon" meant; Wang Han had simply told her to deliberately seek out these Celestial Dragons with bubbles on their heads, then find a way to make them start trouble, and she absolutely had to beat them up.
"You lowly commoner, how dare you draw your sword against me?" Seeing Kuina gripping the hilt of her sword, the Celestial Dragon pulled the trigger without hesitation.
"Bang." The crisp sound of a gunshot rang out in the quiet auction hall.
Kuina drew her blade with lightning speed, intending to shatter the bullet with a quick draw slash.
"bite."
Kuina is fast, but Tashigi is even faster.
"It's over." Tashigi felt despair as she watched the blade she had drawn shatter the bullet.
"You lowly wretch, how dare you block my way!" The Celestial Dragon was enraged when he saw Tashigi and Kuina draw their swords. He shouted at his subordinates, "Kill them!"
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the Celestial Dragon's subordinates immediately rushed towards Tashigi and Kuina.
"Hmph, you think you can kill someone just for bidding against you? You try it and see." Kuina said, charging forward as well. She utterly loathed this Celestial Dragon.
"Little Tashigi, let's go!" Seeing this, Tashigi quickly reached out to grab Kuina and run away. They should run first and then think of something else.
However, instead of stopping Kuina, she ripped off the robe covering Kuina's body. Tashigi was stunned when she saw Kuina's face, which was exactly like her own when she was a child, and her body, covered in cracks and resembling porcelain, like a piece of impure clay. Kuina was stunned, and even the Celestial Dragons' subordinates were momentarily taken aback.
"An interesting Devil Fruit user." Looking at Kuina's reanimated body, the Celestial Dragons showed interest. "You, capture her and make her a slave, and kill the other one."
"Go!" Upon receiving the order, the Celestial Dragons' subordinates immediately rushed towards Kuina and Tashigi.
Seeing this, Tashigi had no choice but to fight. She had to protect herself and Kuina, but she still held back, defeating the Celestial Dragons' subordinates while still being mindful of their Celestial Dragon status.
Kuina was different. She showed no mercy to these accomplices and charged at the Celestial Dragons. Unfortunately, she was too weak. Although she had grown considerably under Wang Han's guidance, her body was still that of a ten-year-old. Even with Tashigi's protection, she was quickly captured.
"Is this body made of mud? I wonder if it will break. Break her arm." Looking at the struggling Kuina, the Celestial Dragon said to one of his subordinates who was holding Kuina's arm.
