One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

As Roy finished speaking,

A brief silence fell over the meeting room.

Everyone is weighing their own worth in their hearts.

Roy looked at everyone, tapped his fingers on the table, and drew everyone's attention to him.

"My idea is that I will take a few people with me this time."

Beehive Island cannot be left unguarded.

Roy looked at Kuma and Crocodile.

"Bear, Old Sand, I'm leaving the island in your care."

Stella and Scarlett are in charge of internal affairs, Cyrus, Savi, and Enel, you few will assist with defense.

In case of any situation, please contact us immediately.

Xiong Wen nodded gently: "Don't worry, Captain."

Crocodile, with a cigar in his mouth, snorted.

He nodded, which was considered an agreement.

"As for the people who came with me..."

Roy's gaze swept over the faces of several core cadres.

Barrett immediately straightened his back, his eyes filled with...

"Pick me, pick me."

Although Tesoro had been the most vehemently opposed earlier, he now showed an eager expression—after all, that was the Celestial Dragons' treasure trove!

Mihawk remained calm, but his grip on the knife tightened slightly.

"Barrett, Mihawk, Tezzolo."

Roy called out three names.

"You three come with me. The rest of you stay behind."

The three people who were called upon had different expressions.

Barrett grinned, and Mihawk nodded slightly.

Tesoro breathed a sigh of relief and wiped non-existent sweat from his forehead—he was genuinely afraid Roy wouldn't let him go.

"Alright, that's settled."

Roy stood up.

"You have half a day to prepare. We will depart in the evening."

Remember, this operation must be kept strictly secret. Tell your subordinates we're going to "visit an ally."

"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.

After the meeting ended, Roy and his three companions immediately began preparing to depart.

Roy then took the Black Blade Shusui and a few encrypted Den Den Mushi, and finally got a 'storage bag' from Pea, emptied it, and that was it.

This operation should yield quite a few good things.

...............

As dusk fell, Ark Proverb quietly took off and flew towards Fishman Island.

Inside the cabin, Tezzolo, while navigating the ship, couldn't help but ask,

"Boss, you mean that guy Tiger? He actually dared to attack Mary Geoise?"

"They're much bolder than you."

Roy gazed at the sea of ​​clouds outside the window.

"At least, you wouldn't dare to do something this big by yourself."

Barrett glanced at the embarrassed Tesoro.

"That merman really dared to venture into Mary Geoise all by himself; I admire him for being a tough guy, but..."

"With us here, his actions should be easier."

Mihawk, sitting in the corner wiping his black sword Night, suddenly spoke up: "That fishman doesn't seem that strong, does he? How did he dare to try and break into Mary Geoise to rescue people?"

"Fischer Tiger..."

Roy recalled the information about the man,

"The leader of Fishman Street was captured by the Celestial Dragons after traveling at sea and became their slave. After escaping, he has been fighting to liberate slaves."

In terms of strength... he should be about the same as Jinbe, or perhaps a little stronger.

But more importantly, he had something we needed—knowledge of the terrain of Mary Geoise.

Tesoro's eyes lit up: "You mean, he knows where the Celestial Dragons' treasure vault is?"

"They know it better than we do."

Roy smiled.

"He was a slave there for several years, and in some places, even the guards might not know the area better than he did."

As the four were talking, Ark Proverb had already passed through the passage beneath the Red Line and entered the deep sea where Fishman Island was located.

When the dark gold spaceship slowly landed at the Fishman Island port, Jinbe was already waiting there with a squad of fishman soldiers.

"Captain Roy!"

Jinbe hurried forward, his face anxious.

"You've finally arrived!"

Tiger...he's leaving this morning, and I finally managed to persuade him to wait another half day!

"Where is he now?" Roy jumped off the spaceship.

"In his own residence, the house that Ryugu Palace arranged for him."

Jinbe pointed in the direction of Fishman Town.

He said he would wait for you until sunset, and if you still hadn't come, he would set off on his own.

Roy glanced at the simulated "sun" above Fishman Island.

It was actually a huge glowing coral, though the light had dimmed somewhat by now.

"lead the way."

Fishman Island, a small, detached building on the outskirts of Fishman Street.

Fisher Tiger stood in the doorway, a simple bag slung over his back.

This red-skinned, muscular fishman was over three meters tall, with bulging muscles all over his body, and red tattoos spreading from his chest to his arms.

With that head of wild red hair, he exudes an intimidating aura just by standing there.

He looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and was about to walk outside.

"Big Brother Tiger!"

Jinbe's voice came from the other end of the street.

Tiger turned his head and saw Jinbe rushing over with four humans.

He recognized the black-clad swordsman in the lead—Roy, the master of Beehive Island, one of the most prominent pirates in the New World recently.

"Jinbe, I told you, you don't need to wait for me."

Tiger's voice was deep and hoarse, as if he hadn't spoken properly in a long time.

I will walk my own path.

"But your path may very well be a dead end."

Roy walked up to Tiger, looking up at the tall fish-man.

"Even if you manage to free some slaves by venturing into Mary Geoise alone, it will be extremely difficult to leave safely."

Tiger narrowed his eyes, a hint of wariness flashing in his red pupils:

How did you know I was going to Mary Geoise?

"That's not hard to guess."

Roy said calmly,

"You suddenly return to Fishman Island, secretly meet with Neptune and Otohime, hastily bid farewell to your companions, and prepare to leave again..."

I can't think of any other reason than to pull off a big heist.

And for you, that's the biggest goal.

Of course, Roy couldn't tell him that he had watched One Piece and knew its ending.

Tiger remained silent.

A few seconds later, he slowly spoke:

"Since you guessed it, then step aside. This is my own choice."

"We can help you," Roy said.

Tiger was taken aback.

"It's not just about freeing you from slavery."

Roy continued,

"We also plan to take advantage of the chaos to loot the Celestial Dragons' treasure trove."

Tiger was completely stunned. He stared at Roy for a long while, then suddenly laughed—a laugh tinged with irony and helplessness:

"Humans... you really are only ever thinking about your own interests."

"Say what you want."

Roy didn't take it to heart. It seemed that Tiger's impression of humans had deteriorated considerably during his years of travel and enslavement.

"But the truth is, with our help, you can save more people, and you yourself can come back alive."

Without us, you yourself will become a target of public criticism, and those slaves you rescued may soon be captured and taken back.

Tiger's smile vanished.

He clenched his fist, his knuckles cracking.

"I know what you're thinking."

Roy looked into his eyes,

You think our motives are impure?

But Tiger, the world isn't black and white.

Sometimes, dirty methods can achieve clean results.

What you want is results, the liberation of those slaves, isn't it?

In the long silence, Tiger loosened his fist.

"...What are you planning to do?"
