Chapter 843: Kuma Makes His Move and Retreats
They had too many reasons to kill Dragon.
Dragon's powerful combat power shocked him; even just his outburst had already exhibited terrifying strength that surpassed his own.
Among the Ferrand Family, only Garling Saint, the God's Knights Commander-in-Chief, could slightly suppress him.
This further solidified his resolve to kill Dragon.
Although his offense was blocked, Dragon also found himself in an absolute predicament.
The other seven Top Tier Combatants made their moves one after another, as if by prior agreement.
They gave Dragon no time to react at all.
Intense danger descended.
Dragon instinctively used Haki to cover his entire body.
Black Haki formed a set of armor covering his entire body.
At this moment, he was completely caught within a Hell-level encirclement.
Every single one of them was an incredibly powerful Top Tier Combatant; individually, he had absolute confidence.
But with so many people, even if his body underwent Elementalization, he would be forced back to his original form immediately.
With a single misstep, he had fallen into such a dangerous situation.
Although he had prepared himself mentally, he was still careless.
In a short period of time, under the assault of eight Top Tier Combatants, Dragon's body suffered continuous injuries.
The battle involving so many Top Tier Combatants created an incredibly astonishing commotion.
Countless people were suddenly startled.
Nine terrifying auras mixed together without any concealment.
Astonishing fluctuations continuously exploded in the air.
"Who is so bold? How dare they cause trouble in the Celestial Dragons' Residential Area?"
Mary Geoise was vast, but the Celestial Dragons' Residential Area was extremely well-known to many Factions.
If something happened there, one could imagine how furious the Celestial Dragons would be.
Especially now, during the war.
However, they were merely observing, not making any rash moves, and some didn't even have the idea of taking action.
Over the years, the World Government and the Celestial Dragons' bottom line had been broken step by step; this trend could be clearly perceived.
Now, someone had even invaded the Celestial Dragons' Residential Area, which could be said to be extremely audacious.
The Core Battlefield of the nine people had been damaged beyond recognition.
The Treasury originally hidden deep within was directly exposed.
Saint Norwen felt no heartache; being able to kill Dragon made it all worthwhile.
Moreover, the Treasury had not been stolen yet.
"Dragon has been discovered."
Kuma, hidden in the distance, saw the massive commotion and a look of worry flashed in his eyes.
There was no need to doubt this; he had already sensed Dragon's familiar aura.
Without hesitation, Kuma's figure flashed and quickly headed towards the Battlefield.
"Berserk Dance!"
Adopting a stance of trading blows, Dragon combined his incredibly overpowering strength with Conqueror's Haki Infusion.
He finally seized an opportunity.
A terrifying wind blast centered around him formed a terrifying tornado that rapidly swept outwards.
The eight Top Tier Combatants were all forced back by Dragon's move.
Free from the suppression of the numerous Monsters, Dragon could finally use his ability without restraint.
Dragon's figure was located in the Sky, standing amidst the storm.
However, his appearance was extremely disheveled.
"Dragon, how are you?" Kuma's figure appeared beside him, looking at Dragon with concern.
"Cough!"
Dragon coughed up a stream of blood from his mouth.
At this moment, he was severely wounded.
If his strength hadn't been sufficient, someone else might have already died.
"I'm alright. There's a Treasury below, take it. There are also four other locations, I'll mark them for you."
Facing the eight Strongmen who were eyeing him like tigers, Dragon quickly instructed Kuma.
"Then evacuate immediately."
"Understood. Be careful, I'll be back soon!"
Kuma nodded, his gaze fixed on the Treasury below.
"There are accomplices."
Kuma's appearance was naturally noticed by Saint Norwen and the others.
They were just about to continue their attack.
Kuma's figure vanished from the spot, then immediately reappeared beside the Treasury.
He extended his hand, which bore the Paw Print Mark on its palm, and placed it on the Treasury.
Before they could react, the entire Treasury disappeared into the air.
"Damn it!"
This scene made Saint Norwen furious.
Above the four Mansions not far away, four small tornadoes appeared.
That was the signal Dragon gave to Kuma, providing Kuma with precise positioning.
Short-distance movement, for the Paw-Paw Fruit, was an ability completely comparable to teleportation.
Kuma ignored the World Government's Strongmen.
His figure vanished from the spot again.
Invisible paw prints wrapped the treasure within, then used the ability to send it flying away.
Flying towards the Revolutionary Army's Base Camp, a pre-arranged location.
All the treasure that Dragon had collected and piled up beforehand was transferred away by Kuma.
Seeing Kuma return successfully, a smile appeared on Dragon's face.
He knew the objective of this trip had been achieved.
The Revolutionary Army had obtained development funds worth hundreds of billions of Beli.
However, turning this treasure into Beli would require some effort.
Especially things like antiques and calligraphy and painting, they could be said to be valuable, but they could also be said to be worthless.
These items were all registered with the World Government.
Once they appeared in the Underworld and flowed into the market, they would quickly be discovered, and not many people would dare to acquire them.
It was also difficult to guarantee their authenticity.
They would basically only appear at an Auction, as only this could guarantee credibility.
But at that point, the World Government would definitely find out.
Most of them could only be sold at a low price.
In the Celestial Dragons' Treasury, vulgar things like Beli were rare.
There was, however, a special kind of "Gold Beli," Beli specifically issued by the World Government.
It was a symbol of wealth and status.
One note was equivalent to one million Beli.
Some Celestial Dragons would collect a portion.
However, after the Celestial Dragons' Treasury was stolen, these Gold Beli could no longer be used.
They were essentially waste paper; once they appeared, the World Government would know, posing a risk of exposure and potentially bringing disaster.
What was truly valuable was the treasure and gold.
"Let's go."
Dragon didn't want to continue the entanglement; his condition was poor, and staying longer would pose a life-threatening danger.
"Stop them."
How could Saint Norwen and the others be willing to see Dragon leave so easily?
Unfortunately, it was useless.
One had to admit, Kuma's ability was overpowered.
He lightly touched Dragon with his palm, first transferring Dragon away.
Next, under the gaze of numerous World Government Strongmen, he disappeared.
"Too arrogant! The Revolutionary Army must be completely annihilated!"
Dragon and Kuma's actions had undoubtedly completely enraged the Celestial Dragons.
Plundering the Celestial Dragons' treasure, then using these funds for development and opposing the World Government.
How ridiculous was such a thing?
Regardless, everyone in the Revolutionary Army had been added to the Celestial Dragons' Kill List.
Next, the Revolutionary Army would face even more terrifying suppression and revenge from the World Government, because the Celestial Dragons would also take action against them.
They would absolutely not let go of this act of trampling the Celestial Dragons' dignity into the ground.
