Chapter 268 I defeated Katakuri!
Chapter 268 I defeated Katakuri!
The moment they were swept by this shockwave, every single one of them had their eyes roll back, and then their bodies went limp and they all collapsed.
Watching the people fall one by one, the little girl being led by Rayleigh had eyes full of confusion and shock.
She didn't understand why these people would suddenly "faint," and the scene before her eyes gave her a strong visual shock.
Before long, Rayleigh led the little girl out of the auction house, but they left through the back door.
Although Rayleigh wasn't afraid of trouble, he didn't want to create trouble for himself for no reason.
If you go out through the main entrance, you'll most likely get into a conflict with the people at the auction house, and you might even get involved with those despicable shady characters.
That's not what Rayleigh wanted to see!
But sometimes, the trouble you least want to encounter just happens to be the trouble you do encounter.
As soon as Rayleigh led the little girl out of the auction house, they ran straight into the three bubble-shaped figures, making a perfect encounter.
Rayleigh: ...
Sometimes, luck really isn't on your side!
Those bubble-shaped figures also saw Rayleigh emerge from the back door of the auction house.
One of the bubble-wielding characters is a familiar face to us – Charlos, who was knocked away by Luffy in the Sabaody Archipelago in the original manga.
Generally speaking, Bubble Clan members will bring many CP organization members to protect them when they go out, but they don't have to.
Because their identity is their talisman.
If you make a move against Bubble Chopping, it will provoke a Marine Admiral to take action; that's a powerful deterrent.
Especially in the Sabaody Archipelago, which is so close to the Marine Headquarters, a Marine Admiral could come over at any time.
Therefore, bubble boats in the Sabaody Archipelago generally do not have guards; there is simply no need for them.
Charlos glanced at Rayleigh indifferently, instantly losing interest, and muttered:
"Where did this old geezer come from...?"
But before he could finish speaking, his voice abruptly stopped, his pupils suddenly contracted slightly, and long snot dripped down, almost flowing into his mouth.
At this moment, his gaze was focused on the face of the little girl that Riley was holding.
Her round, pink, and adorable face, her clear and bright eyes like scattered starlight, and her long eyelashes fluttered.
Her delicate features were exquisite and refined, radiating an innocent and carefree spirit. She was pure and beautiful, and the fear in her eyes added to her endearing charm.
!!!
Charlos's face lit up with excitement and anticipation. Without a second thought, he pointed at the little girl and looked at Rayleigh, saying:
"Hey, old man, make this guy my slave!!"
Upon hearing this, the little girl, Ellie, trembled involuntarily, then immediately shrank behind Rayleigh, her face showing even more fear.
However, Charlos was even more excited when he saw Ellie's appearance; he loved little girl slaves the most.
Such slaves are quite rare!
But before he could say anything more, he suddenly felt everything go black and then lost consciousness. The three bubble groups collapsed to the ground, their eyes rolled back, clearly having been knocked unconscious as well.
Rayleigh glanced at them indifferently, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
He didn't have time to argue with these disgusting guys; it would be faster to just use Conqueror's Haki to clear the area.
But Rayleigh would at most stun them; he wouldn't kill them.
He had been enjoying his peace and quiet in the Sabaody Archipelago for so long, and he didn't want these guys to disrupt his tranquility.
Rayleigh then turned his gaze to Ellie, a smile playing on his lips.
Let's go~

Meanwhile, at the naval base in the Sabaody Archipelago, three generals wearing lieutenant general capes were sitting in a circle around a table.
However, compared to many lieutenant generals, these three lieutenant generals look a bit too young.
In the current navy, there are only a handful of people who can become vice admirals at their age.
That's right, these three are Luffy, Ace, and Sabo.
The three brothers gathered here, bragging about who had recently captured the strongest pirate and who had rescued more civilians.
It was quite a coincidence that the three brothers met in the Sabaody Archipelago; they all happened to be there when they returned.
"I captured eight pirates with bounties over 100 million this time, and I don't know how many more have bounties below 100 million. Can you handle that?"
Ace looked at Sabo and Luffy with an arrogant expression and spoke, his eyes filled with disdain.
This was Ace's most fruitful voyage so far, and he didn't believe that Luffy and his friend's achievements could be more impressive than his.
However, after hearing this data, Sabo immediately showed a faint disdain on his face and spoke with sarcasm:
"You think capturing eight pirates with bounties over 100 million makes you so arrogant? I don't even know when capturing eight pirates with bounties over 100 million became something to brag about. So what if I captured eleven pirates with bounties over 100 million?"
"If you hadn't told me, I really wouldn't have known you could brag about having eight. I originally thought I wouldn't even be able to manage eleven, but now... I feel like I'm pretty good!!"
Ace: ? ? ?
False modesty?
Ace didn't believe that Sabo would not brag about capturing eleven pirates with bounties over 100 million. It just so happened that Ace said it first, so Sabo is saying it now!
Damn it!! He got me!
That was hasty; it seems I shouldn't be the first to speak next time.
However, this is not Ace's fault. He really didn't expect Sabo to be able to capture so many pirates with bounties over 100 million. He did feel that capturing eight pirates with bounties over 100 million was already a lot.
He didn't doubt the truthfulness of Sabo's words, because there was no need to; they could afford to lose between them.
However, he was still very unwilling inside. Looking at Sabo's smug look, Ace's expression turned slightly ugly. But the next second, he seemed to think of something and immediately looked at Luffy beside him, asking:
"Luffy, what about you?"
Surely Luffy can't have more than him, right? That can't be right, can it? That doesn't make sense.
Ace looked at Luffy with a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Luffy, however, remained calm and composed, glancing at the two of them indifferently. Putting aside everything else, spending every day with Kayle and the others, Luffy has certainly mastered the art of showing off.
Luffy spoke calmly:
"I only captured five pirates with bounties over 100 million!"
!!!
Upon hearing this, Ace's eyes lit up instantly, and then immediately turned into a mocking look, just like Sabo's.
But before they could even open their mouths to mock him, Luffy spoke up again in a calm voice:
"I defeated Katakuri!!"
???
Ace and Sabo's eyes widened simultaneously, and after a long silence, they suddenly erupted:
"Can you please stop saying the same thing every time?"
"It's been so long, and you're still bragging about it!"
However, Luffy merely glanced at them indifferently and uttered the same words again:
"I defeated Katakuri!!"
