Dressed in white suits and wearing white masks.
CP0.
The highest intelligence agency directly under the World Government, the Celestial Dragons' "Strongest Shield."
Although CP0 had few members, each possessed at least the strength of a Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, with their captain reaching the admission threshold for a Marine Admiral.
The two CP0 agents spoke:
"Raiver Sky, Officer of the Rocks Pirates. Bounty: 2.5 billion Belly."
"Why have you appeared in the Kingdom of Sithuna?"
"This is a member nation of the World Government, under its protection. You have trespassed into the palace and attacked the guards—these are serious crimes."
Their entire bodies were tensed to the extreme, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Despite the terrifying strength of Raiver Sky before them, behind them was a Celestial Dragon.
If anything were to happen to the Celestial Dragon here, it would inevitably trigger a world-shattering storm.
And the two of them... would absolutely not escape the fate of being secretly eliminated.
Protecting the Celestial Dragons was the sole purpose of CP0's existence.
Mission failure meant death.
Raiver Sky sneered coldly: "I came here just to see if the so-called Celestial Dragons are as filthy as swine!"
As his words fell, the killing intent from the two CP0 agents erupted like a volcano!
"Don't even think about it—!!"
"Pirate, prepare to die!!"
No idle talk, no probing.
Facing an enemy of Raiver Sky's caliber, any hesitation would be suicidal.
The two CP0 agents abruptly surged forward!
One on the left, one on the right, like two white bolts of lightning, they charged toward Raiver Sky!
The CP0 on the left whipped out his right leg like a whip, the leg wind tearing through the air:
"Six Styles Secret Technique: Finger Gun Leg!"
This was no ordinary kick; it perfectly fused the penetrating power of "Finger Gun" with the slashing force of "Storm Leg," forming a terrifying attack capable of piercing through steel!
The CP0 on the right threw a punch, his fist tip condensed with Armament Haki into a sharp cone:
"Six Styles Secret Technique: Finger Gun Fist!"
Similarly, he integrated the penetrating power of "Finger Gun" into his fist technique—a single punch was enough to blast through a battleship!
They unleashed their killing moves from the start, coordinating seamlessly, sealing off all of Raiver Sky's angles of evasion.
Facing such a legendary monster, they dared not hold back in the slightest.
Yet—
Raiver Sky remained standing in place.
He hadn't even raised a hand.
Only a sharp glint flashed in his eyes—
Hum!
An invisible, intangible, yet indestructible barrier of repulsive force instantly unfolded before Raiver Sky!
"Clang—!!!"
Two dull, resonant sounds, like strikes on a giant bell, exploded almost simultaneously!
The Finger Gun Leg and Finger Gun Fist solidly collided with the barrier!
And then…
Could advance no further.
No matter how the two CP0 agents exerted their strength or burst with Haki, the barrier remained completely unmoved.
"What?!"
The pupils of the two CP0 agents contracted sharply.
They knew Raiver Sky was strong, but they hadn't expected him to be this powerful!
Not even their full-force attacks could budge him an inch?!
"Boom—!!!"
The next instant, an even more violent repulsive force erupted from the barrier, rebounding toward the two CP0 agents!
It was the force of their own attacks, reflected by the barrier, augmented with additional repulsive force applied by Raiver Sky!
The two men grunted in pain as their bodies were sent flying uncontrollably backward!
After tumbling several times mid-air, they barely managed to land, their feet plowing two deep trenches into the ground.
"Cough, cough..."
They coughed up blood—the recoil from that earlier strike had already inflicted serious internal injuries.
Their chests heaved with turbulent energy, their arms went numb, and even breathing brought a stabbing pain.
"Is this all the so-called 'Strongest Shield' of the Celestial Dragons can do?"
Raiver Sky raised his arm, his right hand forming a claw-like gesture.
The two CP0 agents felt as if an invisible giant hand had seized their throats, suspending them mid-air, rendering them completely immobile.
"Cough... D-dammit!!"
They struggled with all their might, their Armament Haki erupting wildly as they tried to break free from the invisible restraint.
But it was utterly futile.
"Spatial Strangulation."
Raiver Sky's loosely clenched right hand suddenly tightened!
[Spatial Strangulation] manipulated spatial energy, forming a spherical strangulation field around the targets. Countless sharp spatial fragments materialized within the field, spinning and slicing at speeds beyond visual perception.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!!
Swish, swish, swish—!!
Innumerable spatial fragments, like the most violent rays of energy, swept across the bodies of the two CP0 agents.
"Arghhh—"
In an instant, their bodies, riddled with countless holes and torn in all directions, collapsed limply to the ground.
Raiver Sky withdrew his hand and proceeded deeper into the palace.
His gaze fell upon a middle-aged man sprawled on the luxurious carpet.
Dressed in opulent attire and wearing a transparent bubble helmet—undoubtedly a Celestial Dragon.
"Knocked unconscious by the shockwave, huh..."
Raiver Sky glanced disdainfully at the man's pitiful state—foaming at the mouth, mucus streaming from his nose—making no effort to conceal his disgust.
Nearby lay a young, beautiful woman, drenched in blood and long since deceased.
Her clothing was equally lavish but tattered and torn—likely a member of the royal family.
Her fate was self-evident: offered as a "tribute" to the Celestial Dragon by the royal family, she had suffered endless torment before dying in agony.
Raiver Sky's eyes grew even colder.
Crack!
The bubble helmet on the Celestial Dragon's head shattered instantly.
"Ahhh—!!!"
Screaming in agony, the Celestial Dragon was jolted awake by the pain.
"M-my helmet... it's broken?!"
"Damn it... this filthy air! I've been contaminated!"
Realizing his helmet was destroyed, the Celestial Dragon roared in fury.
As a noble Celestial Dragon, how could he possibly breathe the same air as commoners?
If his peers found out, he would be utterly humiliated upon returning to Mary Geoise!
Raiver Sky cast a cold glance. "Swine—then stop breathing forever."
"Commoner! How dare you speak to me like that?!"
Only then did the Celestial Dragon notice Raiver Sky's presence, his rage instantly clouding his judgment.
It must have been this lowly commoner who shattered his helmet!
Unforgivable!
He immediately drew an ornate, gold-and-jade-inlaid pistol from his waist.
A specially crafted weapon issued exclusively to Celestial Dragons by the World Government—though lavishly decorated, it packed considerable firepower.
Aiming the barrel at Raiver Sky, the Celestial Dragon prepared to pull the trigger.
However—
Raiver Sky's movements were hundreds of times faster.
Without even raising a hand, he merely narrowed his eyes.
An invisible repulsive shockwave, like a heavy hammer, slammed into the Celestial Dragon's bloated body!
Bam!
The Celestial Dragon screamed as his body was hurled like a ragged sack into the wall behind him!
Bricks shattered, dust filled the air.
Blood gushed from his mouth, his chest caved in—clearly, several ribs had been broken.
"Cough... cough!! You lowly commoner, how dare you strike this Celestial Dragon?!"
The Celestial Dragon embedded in the wall coughed up blood while roaring hoarsely, his attitude still arrogant and overbearing:
"Bastard! Where have those useless CP0 fools gone?!"
"Seize this commoner at once... I want him dead!!"
He seemed not to have grasped the reality of the situation, still waiting for his loyal guards to come to his rescue.
Yet even if he shouted himself hoarse, no response would come.
Raiver Sky sneered coldly:
"Your loyal dogs have already gone to hell ahead of you."
