Give Fish-Men Devil Fruits

Celestial Dragons had always stood high above everyone else.

Normally, if they were struck even once, an Admiral would come to protect them. When had they ever been killed?

"Bold of you! You dare lay a hand on a Celestial Dragon!"

Lin Qi's act of killing a Celestial Dragon in the street scared the surrounding CP Agents half to death. Dozens of CP Agents charged at Lin Qi.

"You servants are certainly loyal to your masters."

After some effort, Lin Qi killed the dozens of CP Agents.

Those charging at the front now were all veteran CP Agents, and none of them were weak.

Unfortunately, this was Mary Geoise. There was no end to the CP Agents he could kill.

Over a hundred more CP Agents surrounded him. Lin Qi could not afford to waste time, so he used his speed to shake them off.

As he moved closer to the eastern side, he could see slaves continuously fleeing and Fish-Men setting fires everywhere.

Some Fish-Men and slaves were also fighting the CP Organization that had arrived.

These slaves were extraordinary to begin with, or they would not have become Celestial Dragons' slaves. Many of them had once been Great Pirates.

He even saw Arlong fighting the CP Organization desperately while protecting Fish-Man slaves. This made Lin Qi pause. It seemed that as long as someone could keep Arlong in check, Arlong was not entirely evil.

"Where's your boss?" He casually grabbed a Fish-Man and asked.

"It's Night Hawk. The boss is by the cliff. Hurry over there—we won't be able to hold on much longer either."

As more and more CP Organization members arrived, the Sun Pirates were steadily driven back.

At the edge of the Red Line cliff, slaves leaped one after another into inflatable boats looted from Mary Geoise's warehouses. A vast number of inflatable boats lined the cliffside.

"Fish-Man Karate: Air Great Blast!"

Fisher Tiger shouted and punched the air. Powerful gale-force winds blasted several inflatable boats off the cliff.

The boats that were sent over the edge floated down as lightly as fallen leaves, enough to land safely on the sea.

"An impressive technique."

Once he drew closer, Lin Qi saw that Fisher Tiger's face was covered in sweat. Who knew how many punches he had already thrown?

"Night Hawk." Fisher Tiger panted heavily. "You're back."

Looking at the Fish-Man drenched in sweat, Lin Qi suddenly felt a trace of respect.

There were not many good people like him left.

"I killed several Celestial Dragons. If the World Government can't find me, they'll probably pin it on you," Lin Qi said bluntly.

"After today, find somewhere to hide immediately. Don't show yourselves again for at least ten years, or your lives will be in danger."

Lin Qi handed Fisher Tiger a Devil Fruit, a ring, and a pair of exquisite earrings.

"This Devil Fruit should be a Zoan. If you are ever gravely injured and near death, it could save your life."

"As for these earrings and ring, please secretly give them to two slaves named Hancock and Koala. Help me send them safely back to their hometowns. Consider it a favor I owe you."

If he remembered correctly, Fisher Tiger would soon be gravely wounded and die. If possible, he wanted to save Fisher Tiger.

With the friendship they had forged today, Fisher Tiger would play an important role in his plans for Fish-Man Island.

Hearing that Night Hawk had actually dared to kill Celestial Dragons, Fisher Tiger was shocked but did not blame him.

After all, one more louse made no difference. After tonight, the World Government would hunt them down no matter what.

If he had not been the one taking the blame, he might even have laughed and praised Night Hawk a few times.

For Fisher Tiger, who had once been a slave for three years, his hatred for the Celestial Dragons ran deep in his bones.

"Brother Night Hawk, I'll definitely handle what you asked of me. But this Devil Fruit..." Fisher Tiger trailed off.

"Take it. I hope you never need it, but there's always the chance."

Making a Fish-Man eat a Devil Fruit was probably something only Lin Qi could think of.

Turning a Fish-Man into a landlubber.

"Fine." Fisher Tiger accepted it with a bitter smile.

Fisher Tiger had no strength left. The remaining inflatable boats could only jump off the cliff themselves, and without the force to propel them, whether they survived such a height would depend entirely on fate.

"Boss Tiger, we can't hold them off anymore!"

A large group of Fish-Men ran over from the distance in disarray. Jinbe, at the front, had half his body beaten into a bloody mess of mangled flesh.

Arlong limped behind them, his calf pierced through by a long spear.

Compared to when they had arrived, the Sun Pirates had lost a third of their numbers.

Countless CP Organization members covered the hills and fields as they pursued Jinbe and the others.

Fisher Tiger glanced at the slaves who were still arriving in an endless stream and let out a deep sigh. He knew those slaves would not be able to escape.

But the Fish-Man brethren who had come with him had to leave this place alive.

"This is my final order as captain. Sun Pirates, hear me! Return the way we came and leave this place. Do not look back. I'll cover the rear!" Fisher Tiger shouted, clenching his fists.

"Brother Tiger!" Hachi burst into tears.

"Don't talk nonsense. How can we leave you behind?" Jinbe's fish eyes were crimson with blood.

"Someone must cover the rear, or we'll all die here. As captain, this is my duty. Say no more."

Fisher Tiger tried to coat his fists in Armament Haki, but his previous actions had drained his strength. He staggered and nearly fell.

At that moment, a long, powerful hand grabbed Fisher Tiger by the shoulder. It was Lin Qi.

"In your condition, you can't cover the rear. I'll do it instead."

"Brother Night Hawk!"

Fisher Tiger looked stunned. He had already prepared himself to die here today.

"Go. Don't forget what I asked you to do."

Lin Qi patted Fisher Tiger's shoulder and raised his sword to face the approaching army.

"Brother Night Hawk, the Sun Pirates will never forget your kindness today." Knowing this was no time to hesitate, Fisher Tiger led his companions onto the inflatable boats and leaped from the cliff.

"If you want to chase them, you'll have to get past the blade in my hand first!" Lin Qi held his sword upright and blocked the army.

In the world of the Pirate King, swords and sabers were practically the same thing. Even when someone used a saber, they were called swordsmen or Swordsmen, so sabers here could also be called swords.

The pursuing CP Agents were shocked to see that the one blocking their path was not a Fish-Man, but a human.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with those Fish-Men?!"

"Forget it. We can interrogate you slowly after we capture you."

"Shave!"

A group of CP Organization members used Shave from the Six Powers and swiftly arrived before Lin Qi.

"Yari Yubi."

Countless fingers shot toward Lin Qi from every direction like bullets.

Yari Yubi was powerful enough to pierce steel plates. If it struck a person, it would leave a bloody hole.

Those bastards are taking advantage of the fact that I can't use the Six Powers right now, huh?

Lin Qi drew the other sword at his waist. "Two Sword Style: Worry Wind!"

Centered on Lin Qi, a powerful Tornado shredded the approaching enemies into pieces.

The enemies died screaming.

"Headbutt Impact."

"Great Explosion!"

"Two Sword Style: River-Crossing Slash."

Lin Qi cut down the crowd with his swords, but he was also left in a sorry state by the overwhelming barrage of attacks.

By himself, he fought against more than a thousand elite CP Agents.

If his Conqueror's Haki were not so recognizable, dealing with these people would not have been nearly this troublesome.
