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

The night was as dark as ink, swallowing up all the noise in Area 13 of the Sabaody Archipelago.

Only the dim yellow light shining through the window of Xiaqi Bar

Against the backdrop of countless floating bubbles, a subtle warmth emerges.

Behind the bar, the dark gold hull of Ark Proverb is quietly hidden in the shadows of the building.

Roy was the first to come out, the hem of his black trench coat billowing in the sea breeze.

Barrett, Hawkeye Mihawk, and Tezoro followed behind him, with Fisher Tiger, a burly man exuding suppressed rage, bringing up the rear.

The five people walked steadily and quickly along the narrow alley.

The pirates and black market merchants along the way trembled at the mere sight of Roy's profile, instinctively shrinking into corners and barely daring to breathe.

Roy, the Heavenly Path who stirred up trouble in the New World, now has a fearsome reputation that has spread throughout the Grand Line.

Not to mention the men around him, each with an intimidating aura; any one of them could easily terrify the rabble of Shambaud.

As soon as the wooden door of the bar was pushed open and the copper bell rang softly, an oppressive aura that almost froze the air rushed towards us.

At the bar, Shiki the Golden Lion sat with his legs crossed, his signature oar-shaped hair somewhat disheveled.

He downed the liquor in one gulp, a defiant laugh stuck in his throat, and his crimson eyes swept over Roy and his group.

Earl Redfield, holding a wine glass, his deep red suit spotless, leaned elegantly against the back of his chair.

His gaze calmly fell on Roy, his red eyes seemingly able to see through everything.

In the corner, Monkey D. Dragon, draped in a black cloak, stood with a cold expression.

Beside him stood a slender crow, surrounded by a faint black mist. The power of the Coal-Coal Fruit minimized their presence.

Behind the bar, Xia Qi continued wiping the glasses, her gaze calmly surveying the newcomer.

Rayleigh, the Dark Lord, sat slumped in his chair, a cigarette dangling from his lips, appearing lazy, but his domineering aura had already subtly spread out.

It envelops the entire bar, isolating it from all outside prying eyes.

Just as Roy and his group sat down, the front door bell rang.

Then,

A powerful pressure, mixed with the smell of alcohol and an aura of dominance, suddenly pressed down!

The bar door seemed to be violently pushed open by an invisible hand, and a tall figure, almost touching the door frame, strode in.

With its menacing dragon horns, bare upper body, and fur coat, it was none other than Kaido!

He carried his spiked club, his eyes sweeping across the entire area before finally settling on Roy, whereupon he grinned.

"Hehehe! Roy, I'm not late, am I?"

This place is quite secluded!

"It's not late, please sit down!"

Upon hearing this, Kaido looked around the tavern, went to the bar, asked Shakky to get him a bottle of drink, and then sat down.

"Everyone's here."

Roy walked to the center of the bar, his gaze slowly sweeping over every face in the room.

The voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable dominance.

"I won't bother with formalities."

I gathered everyone here.

This operation had a clear objective.

Tiger is in charge of freeing the slaves, while we plunder the Celestial Dragons' treasury.

Once the matter is settled, everyone will get what they need and no one will interfere with each other.

The golden lion slammed his hand on the table, and the floating wine jug abruptly stopped in mid-air.

"Hahaha! That's direct enough!"

I love it! I've wanted to tear Mary Geoise down for ages!

The Earl of Red gently swirled the wine in his glass, causing ripples to spread. He glanced at Roy.

"I'll only be responsible for holding off the enemy; I won't take a single coin of the treasure as repayment for saving me."

Long nodded slightly.

"The revolutionary army only does two things:"

The crows cut off all communications to the Holy Land and established an aerial relay route from the Red Line to Sabaody Archipelago.

We will ensure the safe evacuation of the slaves and everyone else, without engaging in direct combat or touching the Celestial Dragons' treasure.

"I want a Zoan-type Devil Fruit!" Kaido shouted, taking a swig of sake.

Roy nodded, fully aware of their positions, and then looked at Fisher Tiger.

"Tiger, get the map out."

Tiger silently pulled a piece of parchment from his pocket. The paper was rough, but the markings on it were exceptionally detailed.

He laid it on the wooden table in the bar.

On the parchment, the outline of Mary Geoise at the top of the red earth continent is clearly visible.

Slave prisons, Celestial Dragon mansions, core treasury, Knights of God's headquarters, naval outposts,

Even a little-known underground passage was accurately marked with black charcoal.

Every line is imbued with his blood and tears from his time as a slave in the Holy Land.

"This is a slave prison, reinforced with seastone, guarded by two hundred Celestial Dragons' personal guards, and three CP0 sentries."

Tiger pressed his finger heavily on the left side of the map, a flash of pain and anger in his red pupils.

"Back then... I was locked in the deepest cell."

"The Celestial Dragons' residences are concentrated in the central area."

The mansions of families like the Rothschilds and Charlesons each had their own independent treasury underground.

It was filled with the treasures they had plundered, Devil Fruits, and ancient documents.

Roy traced his fingertip across the center of the map.

"This is our main objective: to disperse our forces and achieve a swift victory."

"The Knights of God are stationed in the very heart of the Celestial Dragons' palace; their members are all top-tier masters of Haki."

Their strength is close to that of a Navy Admiral candidate; we absolutely must not provoke them.

Tiger's tone was serious.

"Furthermore, there is an extremely terrifying aura deep within the holy land..."

I sensed it from afar once, and even the Celestial Dragons held it in awe.

That area is off-limits; not even a step can be taken near it.

Roy's heart tightened; he knew Tiger was referring to where Im was. He nodded immediately.

"Understood. Avoid the core palace the entire time, and only move around the perimeter."

Then, Roy raised his hand and drew three routes on the map, his voice resolute.

"Now divide into groups and clearly define roles."

"One hour is allotted. Regardless of whether the objective is achieved, you must leave immediately. Latecomers will not be accommodated."

"The first group, the liberation group:"

Tiger leads the team, with Hawkeye, Dragon, and Raven assisting.

Tiger was responsible for breaching the slave prison and organizing the evacuation of the slaves;

Dragon and Eagle Eye cleared away the guards who were blocking their way, ensuring the safety of the slaves;

The crows used the coal-coal fruit to create a black mist for cover, while simultaneously cutting off communications to the Holy Land and setting up a rendezvous route.

Hawkeye nodded slightly, Black Blade Night lay across his lap, its icy sword intent contained within, ready to be drawn once the action began.

The black mist around the crow rippled slightly, and it nodded to indicate that it understood.

"Second Group, Looting Group:"

Me, Barrett, Tezzolo.

Barrett violently breached the vault gates and cleared out the mansion's guards;

Tesoro was in charge of collecting the treasure, prioritizing Devil Fruits and famous swords;

I positioned myself in the center to provide support, using my telekinesis to detect and assess the defenses, thus avoiding any danger.

Barrett grinned, revealing a sinister smile. The aura of his white tiger beastman form was faintly leaking out, and ripples appeared in the air around him. He was clearly unable to suppress his desire for battle.

Tesoro's eyes gleamed, and his fingers unconsciously rubbed together. Just thinking about the Celestial Dragons' mountains of treasure made his whole body crackle with lightning.

"Third group, the containment group:"

Golden Lion, Red Earl.

Your mission is to create chaos in the central square of the Holy Land, and to hold back the main CP0 forces and naval reinforcements.

Don't let them split up to support the prison and the mansion; ensure the safety of the liberation and looting groups.

The golden lion thumped its chest and laughed.

"Don't worry! My Float-Float Fruit can lift the entire Mary Geoise up; not even a fly could get through!"

The Red Earl elegantly raised his glass and said calmly, "Leave CP0 and the Vice Admiral to me; they won't take up your time."

"Finally, Kaido will take off alone and hide in the clouds above the Red Line, ready to come to his aid at any time."

Once we encounter an opponent of general caliber, or the main force of the Divine Knights,

He will immediately swoop down to provide support and create an opening for our evacuation.

Roy added.

Kaido is the ultimate trump card in this operation and the greatest guarantee for dealing with unexpected crises.
