Pirate: I was just slacking off, do you really think I'm bad?

That night, the entire Mary Geoise was filled with the sounds of slaves fleeing and guards roaring. The constant clicking of the release locks was also a constant cacophony.

The slaves went mad and fled.

Fisher-Teg didn't stop there.

He still has a lot to do.

Simply unlocking the slaves' locks wouldn't be enough to get them out of this hellish factory; he needed to constantly sabotage, set fires, and thwart the pursuers.

Only by concentrating the entire defensive force of Mary Geoise on him can these poor slaves escape the abyss.

However, his individual strength was ultimately too insignificant.

Fisher-Teg knows where the weapons are.

The Celestial Dragons and nobles not only need to dress up their slaves, but many of these slaves are forced into life-or-death battles. Only in these life-or-death struggles can these Celestial Dragons and nobles, who disregard human life, find joy.

Da da da.

When Fisher-Teg pushed open the door to the weapons room, a series of footsteps sounded behind him.

Fisher-Teg turned around abruptly, only to be surprised by the leader.

"Twin Addison? Boyle Augustine? What brings you here?"

The two leaders exchanged a glance, then burst into laughter, saying, "Tiger, how can we let you do such a heroic thing all by yourself?"

Anyway, my hometown has already been destroyed by these beasts, and I'm homeless now, so I might as well stay and fight them.

"Yes, Tiger, we were brothers who fought side by side in the Colosseum. How can I let you enjoy this glory all by yourself?"

Most of these people were penniless.

Some of them were pirates, some were top henchmen of underground forces, and some were people discovered when the Celestial Dragons destroyed the island.

They were all brought to Mary Geoise for the Celestial Dragons to watch the gladiatorial games. They silently picked up their most familiar weapons, then patted Tiger on the shoulder and said:

Tiger, even if we leave here, we'll all end up dying in some conflict.

Yes, Tiger, we're already homeless, so let us handle these things.

Boyle Augustine patted Tiger on the shoulder one last time and said...

"Tiger, we don't deserve to die, but you can't die."

"If you manage to leave here, our names need to be remembered."

"We don't want to be unknown. What man on this vast ocean doesn't want his name to resound throughout the world?"

They ignored Tiger, who remained standing still, and walked out of the armory with his head held high after taking his weapons.

"Quickly seize those slaves, they're about to escape!"

"I also have a large number of slaves here, come quickly!"

The guard's loud shout brought Tiger back to his senses, and then he heard the voices of his companions again.

"Die, you lackey of the Celestial Dragons!"

"Stop them! Don't let them capture our comrades!"

"Damn it, they're gladiators! Where did they get their weapons?!"

"Suppress them quickly, or the Lords of Guanlong will be furious!"

The cacophony made Tiger momentarily consider joining them in fighting the pursuers, but remembering their resolute words, Tiger gritted his teeth and ran towards the place where the slaves had gathered. Blazing flames continued to burn throughout Mary Geoise, and Tiger, holding a torch, kept setting fire to the Celestial Dragons' houses.

Three little girls ran past Tiger without him noticing; he needed to set more houses on fire as quickly as possible.

But the three Boa sisters paused for a moment, staring intently at Tiger's back, as if trying to memorize his image.

At the same time, the number of freed slaves continued to increase.

"Tezzolo, it's time to run!"

A thin man unlocked Tesoro's lock and ran out with the crowd.

Tesoro looked down at the broken lock, his mind racing with crazy ideas.

"I want to live!"

"I still need revenge!"

With this thought in mind, Tesoro regained his strength and sprinted forward.

He didn't know how difficult the future would be; he only knew that only after leaving this place would he have any hope of revenge. "Stella, wait for me—I'll come back and marry you."

After a chaotic night, everyone in Mary Geoise was busy all night putting out fires and suppressing slave escapes.

However, due to the desperate resistance of the fearless gladiators, ninety percent of the slaves in Mary Geoise escaped.

Even the houses that could have housed a huge number of slaves were burned and destroyed.

The Five Elders angrily smashed several precious porcelain items sent by various kingdoms and demanded that the CP organization conduct a full investigation into the incident.

When all the flames were extinguished, thick smoke still filled the air.

CPO members, dressed in white, began their investigation in Mary Geoise. They had originally planned to participate in suppressing the slave escape last night, but because the Celestial Dragons were afraid of being killed, they all asked the CPO to send someone to protect them.

In the end, they managed to dedicate all of the CPO's manpower to protecting them.

The CPO members, as expected of one of the few elite organizations under the World Government's control, managed to extract the truth from the guards who failed to suppress the escaped slaves in just one morning.

They quickly reported the matter to the Five Elders.

Before the slave escape began, they encountered a fish-man with fiery red skin.

It was by taking advantage of the fire to knock out the few soldiers on duty that he was able to obtain the key and release the slaves.

Furthermore, the gladiators who were blocking the pursuers seemed to have a very good relationship with this merman.

Based on these clues, the CPO quickly identified Tiger.

That was Fisher Tiger, a merman gladiator who should have been dead.

The CPO organization that reached this conclusion only breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Finding out who did it wasn't enough to quell the Five Elders' anger; they needed more.

For example, where exactly did Fisher-Teg come from?

What intrigued the CPO was that none of the soldiers guarding any of the entrances to the holy site discovered how Fisher Tiger had appeared.

He appeared out of nowhere in Mary Geoise, caused this upheaval, and then mysteriously disappeared.

The CPO organization initially considered the possibility of a special Devil Fruit, but after layers of comparative analysis, they ruled out the possibility of a Devil Fruit. Although many Devil Fruits possess flight or other abilities, most of these Devil Fruits already have owners.

We need more. If this is all we have, the Five Elders will surely punish us severely.

The team leader of the CPO organization is having a headache.

Although he is absolutely loyal to the Celestial Dragons, it does not mean that he is without human emotions and desires.

Even within a CPO organization, there is competition.

"Sir, we have made a new discovery here."

A group of disheveled soldiers hurriedly ran up to the CPO organization and said;

"We found a trail of bloody footprints that came from the other side of the cliff!"

Are you kidding me? Are you playing us?

"How could anyone possibly climb up from the bottom of the red earth!"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out by going to see."

When the CP members stood on the edge of the cliff and saw the bloody footprints in the soldier's mouth, they were also very shocked.

A trail of blood-stained, dark brown footprints stretched from the edge of the cliff toward the interior of Mary Geoise from which they had come.

"impossible!"

"Is there really anyone in this world who can traverse the Red Line using only their own strength? I don't believe it!"

But when they stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, they could see countless bloody marks on the steep cliff face.

It stretched from the bottomless depths all the way down to their feet.

"I need to report this to the Five Elders immediately. Please take care to protect the footprints."

After taking a look, the CPO squad leader immediately arranged for the entire area to be protected, as he needed to report this matter to the Five Elders.

"Raleigh, something really big has happened."

Gion, holding a recent newspaper, hurriedly ran to Raleigh's side.

Raleigh, who was still fast asleep, was woken up by Gion. He smacked his lips and looked at Gion's hand.

"What is this?"

Raleigh asked curiously.

"See for yourself."

Gion seemed shocked by the news, so excited that she couldn't even speak coherently.

Raleigh took the newspaper from her and began to read it with great interest.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

It turns out the storyline is still unfolding.

The headline on the newspaper in his hand was clearly written in the largest font:

The Holy Land Mary Geoise was attacked; who is this most vicious fish-man criminal in history?

Immediately following this was a huge bounty poster.

The photo on the wanted poster was of Fisher Teig, with flames burning behind him and slaves fleeing in the distance.

Bounty: 500,000,000 Berries.

A bounty of 500 million Berries is already considered the highest possible.

After all, now is not the time for Beli to become arrogant. Charlotte Linlin, who is a Yonko, only has a bounty of 300 million Berries.

As for Kaido, he's only reached 150 million now.

However, the World Government probably doesn't know about Dragon yet, otherwise they would definitely have put an astronomical bounty on him, just like the 5 billion bounty a decade or so later.

Raleigh was thinking as he looked at the text.

Most of these news reports are false, because the Five Elders have blocked Mary Geoise's internal information channels.

It's already quite impressive that they know Fisher-Tegger's name and picture.

Raleigh stroked his chin:

The three Boa sisters must have escaped with them too.

I remember that among the slaves who escaped this time, besides the three sisters, Empress Hancock, there should also have been the Golden Emperor Tesoro and a little girl from the Revolutionary Army.

"There shouldn't be any other important figures."

Raleigh could foresee that the Navy would soon be facing another busy mission, and that the Donquixote Family, also a Shichibukai, would soon grow stronger.

After Doflamingo left the North Blue, he also started engaging in the human trafficking industry.

Furthermore, his human auction house is quite famous in the Sabaody Archipelago.

I've already wasted a lot of time in the Kingdom of Alabasta, so I'll use the rest of my time to go and chat with Doflamingo.

As for those escaped slaves? Raleigh had no desire to be reduced to capturing slaves.

The Warring States period would not agree to this either; at most, they would send some less capable junior generals to capture the slaves.

In the royal palace of Fishman Island, Queen Otohime and Neptune sat side by side, watching their daughter Shirahoshi, who had just fallen asleep.

Mr. Tiger actually did it, making the world's nobles lose face.

They also saw the latest news and learned that Tiger's plan had succeeded.

However, this is not a good thing for Fishman Island.

Because their own strength is very weak, if Fishman Island were not located in the ocean, it would have been occupied by groups of pirates long ago.

Fishman Island exists because all pirates need to resupply there before they can reach the New World by going around the bottom of the Red Line.

No single pirate crew could support this place.

The world government will likely impose sanctions on us, so we'll have to rely on other powers.

Do you think that group of pirates can protect us now?

Neptune felt extremely frustrated.

As the king of a member state of the World Government, he one day found himself needing the protection of pirates.

However, for the sake of Fishman Island's future, they had to consider the well-being of their people.

"Right now, none of the pirates in the New World are powerful enough. Charlotte Linlin's reward is too high, and she requires collecting souls. I'd much rather keep an eye on the Red-Haired Pirates who left from here a while ago."

I saw Roger's shadow in them.

Queen Otohime carefully recalled what the young red-haired captain looked like on Fishman Island.

That brat named Shanks?

"I've heard that he was once a member of the Pirate King Roger's crew, and now he has formed his own pirate crew, but they are not yet strong enough to protect Fishman Island."

Or, how about we try contacting the navy?

Neptune remembered a name, a name known to every pirate in the world.

Christine Rowley.

Queen Otohime nodded; she knew who Neptune was referring to!

"You could try contacting him."

Outside the palace, the Fishman Street was in a frenzy of revelry.

Countless merfolk emerged from their rooms, laughing wildly in the streets.

They tossed newspapers into the air and then let them fall freely.

In their eyes, a fishman who dares to challenge the Celestial Dragons is a "hero" of the entire Fishman Town.

They were deeply proud of having followed Tiger. Jinbe, Arlong, Hachi, and a whole bunch of fishmen immediately abandoned their own affairs and decided to leave Fishman Street and Fishman Island to follow in their big brother's footsteps.
