Chapter 1 : Enter Saint Naruto

Red Line [Mary Geoise]

The World Nobles, also known as the Celestial Dragons, are the descendants of the nineteen of the original twenty who established the World Government.

The world government is made up of over 170 countries across the world. These countries rule themselves but in cases of international relations they have to cooperate with each other.

The celebration dragon has the highest authority in the world; its words are law, and it can never be wrong because it is a god in human form.

Those who follow the rule of absolute justice, like the marines, will do whatever the world nobles command, even if it means making someone a slave or ending the life of an innocent.

The Marines are the backbone of the World Government, keepers of peace, and dogs of the Celestial Dragons.

To some, the World Nobles are gods, and to some, they are human garbage. But one thing is for sure: the fate of the world is about to change by a boy born with blonde hair and blue eyes.

Mansion [World Noble Uzumaki]

"Go faster, slave, " a familiar face with blonde hair and blue eyes screams in a white suit with a fish bowl on his head.

This was Saint Naruto, a pure-born Celestial Dragon, watching some slaves race in front of his mansion alongside his cousin Saint Shalria.

They had bought some slaves at an auction and are now testing to see which of their purchases were the superior product.

Naruto, a shiny man with long legs, seems to be from the long-leg tribe. However, his feet are injured, so he can't run as fast as usual.

Shalria, a normal-looking man, was in better condition than Naruto's slave. He was in the lead of the race. The slave was running as fast as he could because he knew his life might depend on him winning.

"Yes, I win, " the normal man exclaimed as he reached the finish line. He gave the member of the long-legged tribe a look of pity, knowing what was going to happen next.

BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG

"You stupid slave, how dare you embarrass me like this? " Naruto screamed in rage. He took out a gun and emptied the clip into his slave, killing him.

Sir Shalria smirked as she won the race, which means she won the bet. Now Naruto owes her a favor. She didn't even glance at the dead slave, who was now being taken away by some other slaves to be thrown into the sea so the sea king could eat his corpse.

"I win again, cousin, " Shalria stated with a grin, she loved the feeling of superiority and winning these challenges always makes her so happy "you know what that means."

"I know, I have to follow your orders for a day, " Naruto ground out, pissed off at the slave that failed him. If he wasn't already dead, he would kill him again.

"That's right, but not today. I want to get that butler outfit for you. " Shalria said with a wicked look. "I will use it to get my revenge for the last bet I lost to you."

"Would it help if I said I'm sorry for making you wear a maid's outfit and having you feed and wait on me hand and foot? " Naruto spoke with a nervous smile.

"Not a chance, you're lucky I don't make you wear the same maid outfit, " the female noble frowned, remembering her humiliation.

Naruto's head dropped; he may have gone overboard the last time he won a bet with his cousin, and it seems she held a grudge.

"Be at my place tomorrow at 6 AM sharp, or else. " Shalria declared as she left her cousin's house, her guards and slaves right behind her.

"That's going to be a pain in the ass, " Naruto said with a tired sigh. He glanced at the other slave he bought; she was a young girl about his age with blue hair and dark eyes.

The blue-haired girl was looking at the place where the dead slave had been. There was not even a speck of blood there; a servant had cleaned it when he was not looking.

"I see you know what would happen to you if you failed to follow my order, " Naruto declared to the girl, who had a lifeless look in her eyes.

"Now come slave, I have someone I want to try with you, " the blonde stated, making his guards flinch and look at the blue-haired girl in pity.

"My name isn't slave, " the blue-haired girl whispered, but Naruto and everyone heard it. The other slaves and servants shivered as they heard her try to defy a Celestial dragon. "My name is Kuina from Shimotsuki Village in the East Blue."

"Well, you really are brave, Kuina, " Naruto said with a chuckle and a smile that didn't reach his eyes, if the loom of insanity was anything to go by. "I like your type the most when they break; they become loyal hounds."

The guards, slaves, and servants all looked at Kuina like she had just signed her death warrant. She was brave, but in the beginning, they all were. They quickly learned that if a Celestial dragon just killed you, it was a mercy. Those they keep alive to punish are the unfortunate ones.

Fast Forward

Naruto's Mansion [Dungeon]

WOO- PAKS WOO-PAKKKS

"That was a good session, " Naruto stated as he handed his whip to a slave, it was covered in blood "Oh and get Kuina here some medical attention; I don't want her dying on me now, we still have some more obedience training to go."

In the middle of the room was Kuina, her rags torn by the whip, her back bleeding as she was hung from the ceiling by her hands. The once strong young woman could only whimper pathetically. As Kuina cried silently, the events that led her to become a slave ran through her mind. She was back in her home in the East Blue, like normal, when everything changed.

Flashback Scene Ahead

One Month Ago

Shimotsuki Village

"Why are we here? " whined an ugly man with a white suit and a fish bowl on his head. "This backward place stinks."

"Saint Charles, we have to restock on food, " a marine soldier replied carefully, not wanting to anger a world noble. "You wouldn't want to starve on the way back to the red line, so you. "

"Fine, but be quick about it, " the Celestial Dragon ordered, his face paled at the thought of going without a meal.

The Celestial Dragon was accompanied by several marines, including one vice admiral, who is none other than Onigumo.

Saint Charles was being carried in a carriage held up by slaves. They looked defeated with no hope and just did what was ordered of them so they would not be tortured or killed.

As they were going through the village, the people kept out of their way. Some children, who were playing with a ball, accidentally kicked it, and it entered Saint Charles's carriage, hitting him right on his head, breaking the fish bowl.

"Who dares to hit me? " Saint Charles screamed in fury as he saw the children. "How dare you make me breathe the same air as you insects? "

The Celestial Dragon jumped out of his carriage with his gun drawn and aimed at the group of children. Onigumo wanted to stop him, but he knew that doing so would be considered treason.

"Pay for your sins with your worthless lives, " the world noble said as he pulled the trigger. The bullet was about to hit one of the scared children when a girl with blue hair deflected the bullet with her sword.

"Stop this, you almost killed these children because of an accident, " Kuina said calmly as she looked at the marines with the weirdly dressed man.

"How dare you get in my way, bitch? " Saint Charles roared as he fired his gun at Kuina, who dodged and deflected all the bullets sent her way.

The blue-haired girl noticed that the people around her village looked pale, as if they had seen a ghost. The weird man must be a noble, but even though he was not above the law, Kuina thought to herself.

Kuina was about to charge at the world noble, but a marine got in the way. She glared at him, not understanding how someone on the side of justice could just stand back and watch that bastard kill children.

"Young lady, I would advise you to stop your action right now before you cause the destruction of your village, " Onigumo said in a stern voice. "You were about to harm a Celestial dragon, the penalty of which is death."

Kuina looked shaken but still determined. She didn't break her stance, making Onigumo sigh at her ignorance of how over her head she was in all this.

"Fine, if you do not surrender, then I will be your opponent. " Onigumo stated with a heavy heart. He didn't agree with the Celestial Dragon's actions, but as a marine, it was his duty to protect him.

"You have no honor, marine, " Kuina spat with venom. "You stand there and would let that piece of shit kill those children without a word."

"Say whatever you want, child, just get out of here. No, or else. " Onigumo said, trying to give the girl an out, but she didn't take it and charged at him. With that action, her fate was sealed.

In a blink of an eye, Kuina was on the ground, bleeding from a slash from Onigumo's sword. She was still alive because he wasn't aiming for her life; he just wanted to put her out of commission.

"You should have taken my advice, girl, " Onigumo said sadly. He hoped that this would satisfy Saint Charles, but it didn't.

"You dirty little whore, don't think I will let you escape me by dying, " Saint Charles said as he kicked Kuina's body over and over in rage "get her healed, we are taking her with us. "

Onigumo sighed as he watched Kuina get taken by the marine healer and patched up. The vice admiral pitied the fate she had; Saint Charles usually breaks his playthings within a week.

The marines got the supplies and lifted with Kuina, the girl's father would later learn of her fate and fall into despair but he kept it all inside, the only thing he had of his daughter was her sword that was left behind.

Kuina's father decided that it would be easier to say she was dead so that he could move on. He later gave his daughter's sword to her best friend and rival, who promised to become the world's best swordsman in her place.

One Week Later

If one had asked Kuina if a week was a long time before she was captured, she would have told them that a week passes by in the blink of an eye. But now, after a week of being humiliated and abused in ways she doesn't even want to remember, it feels like an eternity.

"We made it back to Mary Geoise already; that was fast. Well, anyway, I have no more need for this whore. You can take her to be auctioned off. " Saint Charles ordered Vice Admiral Onigumo, who had a look of anguish on his face as he looked at Kuina's sorry state.

Saint Charles was naked, his fat disgusting body covered in sweat as he put on his Celestial Dragon uniform and exited the room without a care.

"I am sorry, " Vice Admiral One said softly as he looked into Kuina's lifeless eyes. She didn't react at all, not like he was expecting her to. It was times like these that he questioned why he decided to become a marine.

The vice admiral wrapped the bed sheets around Kuina's body and lifted her on his shoulder to take her to the slave auction house to be sold.

At the auction house, Kuina was able to regain her senses. She was still traumatized but managed to push it to the back of her mind.

Kuina was given rags to wear, and a slave collar was placed around her neck, like the other slaves. She quickly learned that any act of defiance would be met with death via the slave collar exploding.

Then came the time when she was bought by Naruto, alongside a slave from the Ongwe tribe, his cousin bought a regular human, and someone who looked like a half-giant male.

Flashback Scene End

Kuina wondered if her father and Zoro were okay. She knew from watching that no one would be coming to rescue her. She heard from the other slaves at the auction house that any attempt would be met with the full might of the marines.

The blue-haired young woman whimpered as a young woman with red hair and pale skin, who was her slave, released her hands from the chains and laid her on the ground to apply some medicine on her back to help her heal.

"You shouldn't mouth off to Saint Naruto again if you know what's good for you, girl, " the red-haired woman stated emotionlessly.

"I will not break, I rather die than let that happen, " Kuina replied with determination, which only got the redhead to roll her eyes.

"That's cute, but you'll be broken if you don't stop being defiant, " the redhead stated, continuing to treat Kuina. "My name is Mina, by the way."

"How can you all just take this treatment and not fight back? " Kuina asked, she couldn't let herself just give up without a fight.

"There is no fighting a Celestial dragon; it's just how this world works. You either stay out of their way or become their prey. " Mina replied in a matter-of-fact tone. "You and I are just unlucky to be in the wrong place at the wrong time."

"I can't accept that there has to be a way to get away from here to freedom, " Kuina said, her back starting to feel a lot better as the medicine dulled the pain.

"There is no freedom for us any more, " Mina stated as she traced the brand of the Celestial Dragon on Kuina's back in the shape of a dragon "even if by some miracle you got away from here you would be on the run for the rest of your life and the moment someone sees this mark they would sell you out to the world government."

Kuina didn't respond but her face looked deep in thought. Mina saw this and decided that she had helped the girl enough; it was time for her to do her own duties.

"I have to go now but I will leave the medicine here, " Mina said as she placed a jar of white medicine next to Kuina. "I have my own duties to attend to, you can apply the medicine to yourself now if you feel any pain or discomfort."

Mina left the dungeon without a word. Kuina got up and was surprised by the fact that she didn't feel any pain any more. She rubbed her hand along her back and to her surprise, she didn't feel any swelling or indication that she was beaten.

"What the hell is that medical rub? " Kuina said as she looked at the strange liquid in awe. "Whatever it is, it must be expensive for how fast and good it works."

Kuina held the medical knife in her hands while thinking of what she could do: she could submit and just let the Celestial Dragon do with her as he wished, and she would live; or she could fight back and get tortured, and possibly die.
