Chapter 842: The World Government's Encirclement
For Figarland Nowen Saint, as a core member of the Ferrand Family, possessing powerful combat power meant he fundamentally didn't need anyone to protect him.
This was his confidence in his own strength, something only weaklings required.
Similarly, as a Hidden Combatant of the Ferrand Family, he wasn't active in Mary Geoise.
He lived a normal life but didn't excessively show his strength.
The Battle of God Valley caused heavy losses for the Ferrand Family.
Not only in terms of wealth, but quite a few family members also died.
However, those ordinary clansmen with average strength, who couldn't even be considered combatants, didn't harm Mary Geoise's foundation.
Moreover, the number of Ferrand Family members was neither large nor small.
It was precisely because of Nowen Saint's low-key nature that Dragon didn't notice anything amiss with this Mansion, aside from it being somewhat luxurious.
Coincidentally, Nowen Saint's wife and child were also not inside the Mansion.
This allowed Nowen Saint to leave at the first possible moment without worries.
After knocking the servants unconscious, Dragon began collecting treasure, then setting his target on the Treasury.
To open the Treasury, even with Dragon's ability, it would take over ten minutes.
A lot of Dragon's time on this trip had been spent here.
There were no detection devices around the Treasury.
Aside from being hard and deeply hidden, it had no special features.
After all, how could these World Nobles have imagined that someone would actually dare to invade Mary Geoise, let alone sneak into their mansions?
"Where did this petty thief come from? How dare they sneak inside the mansion of a Descendant of God?"
Those who received Nowen Saint's message were important figures from various Celestial Dragon Families.
This happened at a crucial point during the ongoing great battle.
This mysterious invasion naturally drew their absolute attention at the first possible moment.
A mysterious Celestial Dragon, dressed in extremely luxurious clothes and wearing the mark of the Nerona Family on their chest, said coldly.
Such an action undoubtedly stimulated their nerves.
What was the origin of this mysterious Invader? What was their purpose? Was it the assassination of a Celestial Dragon?
No matter what they intended to do, the awe-inspiring killing intent aura was enough to show his attitude.
Not only protecting the Celestial Dragons, but protecting Mary Geoise was also their mission this time.
At this moment, a full seven Top Tier Combatants had gathered by Nowen Saint's side.
Among them were three Celestial Dragons, who were Top-tier Experts among the Celestial Dragons.
The other four were Hidden Combatants Cultivated by the Celestial Dragon Families.
With such a lineup, it could be said that the Celestial Dragons had become completely serious.
The rest of the combatants were mostly at the banquet location protecting the other Celestial Dragons.
The news of the invasion was only known to a small number of people and had not spread out.
The eight people quietly arrived at Nowen Saint's Mansion.
Seeing the fallen servants, it could be confirmed that Nowen Saint's Mansion had truly suffered an invasion.
They hid their own aura, positioned themselves in different directions, and cautiously entered the interior of the mansion.
Working together, the eight people formed a dragnet, continuously contracting and approaching the mansion's core.
Wind could be said to be Dragon's eye.
To some extent, it allowed him to perceive the movements of people within the ability's coverage area.
This didn't mean Dragon could multitask and know everything within the ability's affected area.
At this moment, Dragon's attention was focused on cutting into the Treasury.
His perception ability towards the Outside World was lowered to the minimum.
The disturbance of the Wind caused by people's movements would feedback to Dragon's body.
The more intense the disturbance, the more Dragon could perceive it.
To avoid being detected, Dragon lowered the Wind's flow speed and even contracted the affected area.
The side effect this brought was a significant weakening of Dragon's perception ability.
After all, a gale is different from a gentle breeze.
The closer they approached, the more the World Government's Strongmen could hear a sharp, faint sound.
They could roughly guess the Invader's purpose.
Nowen Saint's expression was a little grim.
For the noble Celestial Dragons, everything in the World could be said to be theirs, as long as they wanted it.
He wasn't interested in Slaves, but he had his own hobbies, his own collection, and even treasure accumulated over many years.
Among them were Heavenly Tribute, family rewards, inherited wealth, tributes from certain Factions, or items collected from around the World.
He hadn't expected that someone would actually dare to steal from him.
The expressions of the other Celestial Dragons weren't good either; they weren't gloating.
Because they couldn't guarantee whether their own mansions had been robbed.
Nowen Saint was able to discover it because he was home and wasn't among the candidates arranged by the many Celestial Dragon Families to guard Mary Geoise.
Ferrand Family sent other people.
But they, being among the candidates guarding Mary Geoise, weren't at their own homes.
Perhaps, they themselves had already had their homes robbed.
And there wasn't necessarily just one thief.
The sharp cutting sound continuously echoed.
No matter how careful Dragon was, this sound was unavoidable, unless there was a Calm-Calm Fruit Ability User nearby to support him.
The cut mark on the treasury had already been completed three-quarters of the way.
Just a little more effort, and another Celestial Dragon's hidden treasure would fall into his hands.
Suddenly, Dragon stopped the movement of his hands, furrowed his brow, and a solemn expression appeared on his face.
The next moment, his figure turned into a gust of gale, rushing outside the Mansion with unstoppable momentum.
He perceived that someone was approaching, and not just one person; he had been discovered by the World Government.
A strong sense of crisis filled Dragon's heart.
A jet-black sword flash carrying an extreme threat appeared before Dragon.
Dark red terror lightning collided and intertwined in the air.
Dragon's body, which had entered elementalization, was fundamentally unable to maintain its form when facing the immensely powerful Haki and Conqueror's Haki, passively undergoing materialization.
"Dragon's Claw!"
Noticing those scarlet eyes, and before clearly seeing the appearance of the approaching person, Dragon's powerful combat instinct allowed him to react at the first possible moment.
The moment the jet-black three-clawed dragon claw hand appeared, the entire air seemed to ripple.
Even more powerful Conqueror's Haki coating was coated onto the dragon claw hand.
Dragon's resistance easily crushed the approaching person's offense.
"Monkey D. Dragon, the Leader of the Revolutionary Army, the damned D!"
Nowen Saint immediately recognized his identity after Dragon revealed himself.
Dragon's existence within Mary Geoise might not be known to ordinary Celestial Dragons, but for their higher-ups, it could be said that everyone knew.
After all, Dragon was the first person who dared to cause a major stir on the Red Line.
Before that, he was still an Admiral Candidate heavily cultivated by the Marines.
Furthermore, he was also a member of the "Family of D", the enemy of God.
He even established a rebel army, the "Self-Defense Force", which was later changed to the Revolutionary Army.
Revolutionary Army? Whose revolution is this?
