Chapter 3 - Chapter 3: Sabaody (Fixed)

I don't know why the translator used "Deadly Sword" instead of "Buster Sword," mostly because of the Spanish translation, so I changed it, but I might miss some from now on. Just so you know, it's not "Deadly Sword," but "Buster Sword."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been two days since Gold Roger was captured by the navy, and they're already preparing for his execution. Eavesdropping, I learned it will be in two more days.

Right now, I'm on my way to the Sabaody Archipelago to buy slaves and torment the population.

We all have our fake outfits that make us look like astronauts or aliens.

First comes the eldest son of the family, Ramses Manmayer, a 20-year-old young man with short blond hair and dark blue eyes; he's 1.99 meters tall and always carries a sword.

Next comes my older sister, Annastasia Manmayer, a 17-year-old girl with tied-back blond hair and honey-colored eyes; she's 1.83 meters tall and always carries an umbrella, which can be unfolded like a long stocking sword.

Next comes my younger brother, Alexander Manmayer, a 12-year-old boy with normal green hair and dark blue eyes; he's 1.73 meters tall and carries a wooden sword.

Finally, there's my younger sister, Dianna Manmayer, a 9-year-old girl with long, flowing blue hair that reaches her waist; she has dark blue eyes and is the most normal of the four.

And let's not forget the most important one, that is, me, Dante Manmayer, for the moment, a handsome 14-year-old young man with normal blond hair and crimson red eyes. I am currently 1.82 meters tall and carry my trusty Buster Sword on my back.

The reason we all have swords or weapons and can carry them anywhere—you could say it's a family tradition—is always following the rule of the strongest. That's why we've trained since we were little.

Today is a special day, as we will be staying for a few days in Sabaody, and since Roger's execution will soon be, in other words, I ran away from home.

Obviously, it was a bit complicated to pull this off, as it wasn't luck. I had to get my family to stay in the Holy Land during these holidays, which required me to do some unpleasant favors and, over the last few days, increase the desire to buy items and other things from both Annastasia and Dianna. The important thing is that we're here.

Ramses: "We're almost there, so we'll have to wait at least until tomorrow to go to the auction, so let's go straight to the place where we'll be staying and then explore the place."

Everyone: "YES, OLDER BROTHER!!"

He gives a thumbs-up, and as soon as we arrive, we get off the boat and head to the hotel immediately.

Unlike the other Celestial Dragons, we didn't need guards, since from our perspective, they were completely useless; after all, it was Ramses and me. While I still couldn't compare to the older brother, we weren't that far behind in strength; he could use Armament Haki, and I couldn't. The only good thing is that no one here has good Observation Haki, so escaping from them won't be that difficult.

The only thing that sucked was that my older sister's slaves were with us; they were two rather burly, very gaunt men. After all, she's a sadist and likes to play with torture.

Sometimes I think about killing them, as that's more merciful than being Annastasia's slave.

As we walked, the people around us moved away from us and lowered their heads in a sign of protection and submission.

Annastasia: "How disgusting it is to be surrounded by such commoner scum; they should all kneel and kiss the tips of my toes and beg to be my slaves," she says, covering her mouth with her fan to hide a grim smile.

Ramses: "Leave the trash alone; break the toys you have before getting new ones," he says, walking calmly and serenely, his gaze straight ahead, undistracted, serious, and so fake. This is just for show; inside, he's not so different from Annastasia.

Annastasia: "That's exactly why I'm here for the auction; these are already about to break and become useless."

Poor slaves, that's something I'll try to destroy before I leave this world: slavery. and as I say, I will try, since I don't know what the future will hold.

At that moment, I approached Ramses and said, "We can stay until Roger's execution; I want to see him killed. Maybe something interesting will happen, and if we leave after the auction, we might not be able to see it live on the way back."

At that moment, he thought for a moment and said, "I have no problem. Maybe I can hunt some pirates, sailors, or whatever." He looked back at the others and asked, "Do you have any objections?"

Annastasia: "Not for me, as long as they leave me alone with my new toys."

Alexander: "Me neither. I have nothing to do in Mary Goise; maybe I'll find something fun to do here."

Dianna: "As long as I have lots of candy, I'm happy."

At that moment, I smiled and said, "Then I'll make sure to bring you a mountain of candy."

Dianna heard me and said, "It's a promise."

Just as children's smiles soothe my soul, and despite the effort I'd put into keeping them from becoming arrogant jerks, both Dianna and Alexander make sure my efforts weren't all in vain.

We arrived at the hotel, and I had to go buy lots of candy for Dianna. I had Alex accompany me to carry the candy. Afterward, the three of us went to Sabaody Park. I didn't know what Annastasia and Ramses were doing, nor did I really care. It was fun that day.

The next day, we got ready to go to the auction. I have to admit I was excited, since Roger would be executed tomorrow and I could escape; I had to take advantage of the disorder and chaos I caused so I could hide from the Marines and the CP0.

When we arrived, the tension was palpable; We took our seats in a VIP section. While the auctions were taking place, I noticed a lot of interesting items, including rather shiny jewelry and decent-quality weapons. There was even a Devil Fruit. Ramses had a catalog of Devil Fruits for these occasions; it was a zoan-type fruit, a praying mantis type.

After following the slaves and seeing the children, young people, and old people being sold, I felt helpless. I didn't show it on my face; after all, during my time living in Mary Goise, I avoided using slaves as much as possible. I never liked slavery, as I always thought that person standing there could have been me.

Annastasia buys about three men: two young men and an adult. And my brother buys a young slave; honestly, I don't want to know what he'll do with her in the future. I'll probably be leaving here anyway, so I won't know. Maybe in the future, Fisher Tiger will appear and free several slaves from that place. Maybe I'll try to help him, but that's the future; I have to think about the now.

And so the day ended. Before going to sleep, I went over the plan I had in my head, reviewing everything I would take: my deadly sword, which I'm still upset I can't put in the system storage; civilian clothes, of which I managed to sneak a hidden one, so I stole it; and the book that lists the different registered Devil Fruits. I really don't plan on eating any of them, especially because of the swimming. I don't know what my future will be like, so I decided to be able to survive if I fall into the water. It's mostly for my hero teammate. They can eat if they want, but let it be useful fruits, and finally, a good berry.

And so, with everything ready, I go to bed to rest and be ready for tomorrow, the day the pirate king is executed.
