Chapter 617: Obsessed with Wealth

It’s amazing how things in this world can be so coincidental.

Dragon also arrived at Golden City aboard that cruise ship. Due to his highly unique identity, he had been concealing himself, so much so that neither Tesoro nor his subordinates had noticed his presence.

After arriving in Golden City, Dragon specifically altered his attire. His usual green cloak would stand out in Golden City, so he deliberately changed into a typical tourist outfit: a Hawaiian shirt and beach shorts.

Dressed like this, Dragon blended in perfectly among the tourists in Golden City and wouldn’t normally attract any attention.

However, due to an unforeseen event—specifically Ian’s forceful kick to Bakkin earlier—Bakkin had been scrutinizing every person in such attire throughout the city.

Because of his outfit, Dragon got stopped by Bakkin. Although he didn’t know what Bakkin was up to, Dragon could tell she didn’t seem to be from the World Government. So, he took a chance and removed his hat, allowing Bakkin to take a look.

A single glance was harmless. Since Dragon wasn’t the person Bakkin was searching for, he passed her inspection just as he had expected.

However, what no one could have anticipated was that Bakkin, an extremely greedy old woman who had a powerhouse like Edward Weevil by her side, made her living by capturing bounty targets. She always carried numerous bounty posters with her.

Among these bounty posters was Dragon’s, as he was one of the most notorious criminals continuously hunted by the World Government.

Initially, Bakkin only felt that this man might be some wanted pirate, so she took out the bounty posters to check. But when she discovered that the person she had just seen was none other than Dragon, the revolutionary, Bakkin immediately realized she had stumbled upon an incredibly valuable target.

Although Dragon was well-known worldwide due to his bounty, he always operated discreetly, rarely seen by anyone. As Bakkin realized her incredible luck in spotting Dragon, she instantly forgot about everything related to Ian.

Dragon’s bounty poster didn’t specify a reward amount; it was just a wanted notice. But everyone understood that capturing someone like Dragon, comparable to the former Pirate King Roger, would make the World Government offer an enormous reward without hesitation.

Two billion? Five billion? Maybe even ten billion? For such a criminal, the reward would be beyond any monetary measure…

If… if she could capture Dragon, wouldn’t she become an incredibly wealthy woman overnight!?

For a moment, Bakkin’s mind was filled with visions of money flying everywhere!

What’s revenge compared to making money? Realizing this, Bakkin immediately called her son, ready to capture Dragon.

Blinded by the prospect of enormous wealth, and perhaps having an unreasonable confidence in her son’s strength, Bakkin decided to catch Dragon on their own.

Dragon, being cautious by nature, had been wary ever since Bakkin stopped him. Although she let him go, he remained vigilant, and when he noticed Bakkin and Edward Weevil reappearing behind him, he immediately realized he’d been recognized. He tried to blend into the crowd and slip away.

However, he underestimated Bakkin’s audacity. Seeing Dragon quicken his pace, she ordered her son to attack!

Edward Weevil, being a brainless brute, didn’t hesitate. He raised his naginata and slashed forward with a powerful strike, sending a huge sword energy wave towards Dragon.

Anyone in the path of this Flying Slash was struck, screaming as they were cut down, and those nearby, witnessing the carnage, screamed in terror.

The scene suddenly descended into chaos…

Seeing the sword energy flying towards him, Dragon frowned, extended his right hand, and pressed his index and middle together as well as his ring and little finger, then grabbed the Flying Slash with his dragon claw!

Dragon Claw! Sabo had used this move before, but he had learned it from Dragon!

With dragon claws as hard as steel, Dragon managed to stop the Flying Slash. As Dragon clenched his hand, the Flying Slash shattered in his palm!

And Dragon’s hand remained completely unharmed!

However, after missing with one strike, Edward Weevil jumped up again, holding his naginata and striking down towards Dragon’s position!

Dragon had no intention of getting entangled with him, so he jumped to dodge, letting Edward Weevil’s blow land on the ground.

Boom! The strike on the ground caused a tremor, creating a massive crater, sending debris flying, and a giant crack snaked forward. The surrounding buildings cracked and looked like they might collapse. The passersby all screamed, unable to keep their footing, and fell to the ground.

Edward Weevil, despite his low intelligence, was undeniably a monster. Without using any Haki or Devil Fruit abilities, he could still cause such immense destruction purely through his strength.

Seeing Dragon leap into the air, Edward Weevil immediately swung his naginata upward. The long blade reached just to Dragon!

Dragon pressed his hand against the blade, exerting force, and shattered Edward Weevil’s naginata into countless fragments!

Taking advantage of Edward Weevil’s moment of shock, Dragon launched his attack. In mid-air, he suddenly kicked forward, propelling himself to hover above Edward Weevil’s head!

“Dragon Spear!”

Dragon’s right hand formed into a dragon claw, delivering a powerful blow from a distance, striking Edward Weevil’s head!

Having been a former Navy officer, Dragon naturally mastered the Navy’s Six Powers. This move, Dragon Spear, was a combination of Dragon Claw and Finger Pistol, possessing incredible power. Edward Weevil took this blow directly to the top of his head, as if a heavy object had suddenly crushed him. His neck shrunk down, and with a thunderous crash, he was driven into the ground!

His hefty body was now half-buried in the ground, unable to extricate itself. Taking advantage of this moment, Dragon broke free from Weevil’s entanglement and turned to leave.

This habit of escaping from chaotic situations had always been a part of his revolutionary nature, constantly avoiding drawing attention to his actions.

However, his intention to leave was noticed by Bakkin. She couldn’t believe her usually invincible son had been bested by Dragon, making her realize how formidable Dragon truly was. Panicking, she screamed, “Stop that man! He’s the revolutionary army leader, Dragon!!!”

Her scream caused a moment of stunned silence among the crowd, which quickly turned into chaos as people snapped back to reality and fled in terror!

Bakkin’s shout had no effect. Due to the World Government’s propaganda, Dragon was already regarded as the most feared criminal in the world. Ordinary people were desperate to avoid him, let alone help Bakkin stop him!

Even some pirates, upon hearing his name, instinctively stepped aside.

As Robin had once said, ordinary pirates wouldn’t confront the Navy or the World Government, but the Revolutionary Army was different. Their opponents were precisely the Navy and the World Government, making them an entity that most pirates dared not provoke…

“Get up and chase him, you stupid son!” Bakkin yelled, hitting Edward Weevil with her cane.

“But it hurts, Mama!” Edward Weevil replied, his nose bleeding profusely, looking aggrieved. “That guy is really strong!”

“I don’t care! Get up and chase him!” Bakkin shouted.

Edward Weevil had no choice but to obey, crawling out of the large pit on the ground. His naginata was shattered, so he had to chase after Dragon with his bare hands. This giant of a man barreled through the crowd, causing even more chaos.

The incident was immediately reported to Tesoro’s men.

When Tesoro heard the news, he nearly jumped out of his seat. Damn it, having the Dragon Hunter Pirates, the Big Mom Pirates, and a former Navy admiral here wasn’t enough trouble. Now, a revolutionary like Dragon shows up too? What the hell is going on!?

Tesoro knew he was in deep trouble because his Golden City had long been home to World Government officials and CP agents!

The news of Dragon’s presence would soon reach them…
