Julian, with a pure heart, aimed to help the people in this region. Why help? For spiritual satisfaction, of course, which would boost his spirit and, consequently, his Conqueror's Haki. Julian spoke, "Joy Boy was a warrior who liberated slaves. I, Julian, am a god who saves people from suffering."
Julian pondered, "Even the Heroes of Mount Liang wouldn't dare to act like this. The second reason is that I, Julian, recorded it with a Video Den Den Mushi. When I recruit people, I can heavily publicize myself. I, Flame Emperor Julian, give away twenty thousand Berries to those suffering. How many Berries will those who join me receive? At least a billion. Understand? Applause."
Julian declared, "Will there be a shortage of people joining my Flame Dragon Pirates?" Julian's true form appeared on the side of the video screen. This way, the recording would have a more impactful effect. Julian walked while recording, feeling extremely pleased with himself.
Gion heard today that Flame Dragon Julian's pirate crew had landed at the docks here. After finishing cleaning the restaurant, she slipped away when no one was around. Her mission from Lord Gorosei was to find an opportunity to go undercover in the Flame Dragon Pirates. Since Gion practiced swordsmanship, her combat power was significantly weakened without a weapon. She casually grabbed a kitchen knife, taking the head chef's cleaver from the restaurant's kitchen for self-defense.
Gion walked stealthily along the way. After all, she hadn't paid off her tab at the restaurant. The restaurant's guards patrolled the surroundings. Thieves were common on this island. The patrolling security guards spotted the suspicious Gion. The leading guard captain shouted, "Hey, you little girl who skipped out on your bill, don't think you can run! If you get away, we'll have our wages docked."
Gion then activated Geppo, running directly through the air. The guard captain shouted from behind, "Don't think you can escape! Stop right there, or I'll shoot!" Gion leaped onto the third floor in one go and began running across the rooftops of the third and fourth floors. The guard captain, along with twenty men carrying guns, pursued her.
Gion thought to herself, I really don't want to fight them. After all, I didn't pay for my meal. Then, Gion saw the Flame Dragon flying in the sky. Gion exclaimed, "Is that Flame Dragon Julian? I have to follow him." Gion followed the direction Julian was flying, running frantically. Gion thought to herself gleefully, If I follow him closely, I can infiltrate the Flame Dragon Pirates. Then I'll steal the Marine Rokushiki and find out how Flame Dragon Julian ate two Devil Fruits. Ideally, Flame Dragon Julian will be captured on Sabaody Archipelago and sent to Impel Down. Then I'll earn the title of the best Marine elite, get promoted, and become the most dazzling female admiral in the Marines.
Gion mused again, I have to complete this undercover mission. Fleet Admiral Kong didn't even send me a communication Den Den Mushi, nor any funds for undercover work. He even made me clean all day. Gion looked at her small hands, roughened by the mop. How much skincare will I need to use to fix this later?
As Gion followed Julian's route, she arrived at the slums. She saw Julian throwing large sums of Berries into every house. There were over five thousand nine hundred households, and each person received ten thousand Berries.
Gion was very confused and said, "Why is this guy handing out money in the slums? There must be some unspeakable secret. I need to follow him closely and uncover his secret." After Gion's internal monologue, she followed Julian.
After Julian finished distributing the money, he turned off the Video Den Den Mushi and said, "Next time, give it to Morgans to publicize. We are righteous bandits. Heroes of Mount Liang, those small pirates, and some lost souls are not allowed to join our Flame Dragon Pirates. Our Flame Dragon Pirates offer money and the strength to protect our crew members. We create a happy legendary team."
Julian began to move himself again. Each time he moved himself, his spirit would increase. This was a physical method to improve his Conqueror's Haki. After watching Julian hand out money, Gion thought to herself, This pirate is actually doing good deeds, giving relief money to every household. This pirate captain doesn't seem so evil after all!
Julian thought to himself, If I release this video later, people on the Sea will surely be stirred up. Many will be inspired and want to join my Flame Dragon Pirates. Julian then said, "When I have the strength, the first thing I'll do is go to Wano Country and hack those little brats of the Kozuki Family, Momonosuke, to death. Then Julian cursed a few more times, "Damn Momonosuke, thinking of you makes me unlucky. Next time, I'll smash your beastly head."
Julian could feel his Conqueror's Haki increase by 0.000...%. Julian grumbled, "I've done so many good deeds, and my spirit only increased a little. But when I firmly decided to kill Momonosuke, my spirit increased so much. As expected, Momonosuke, you are a little beast. Even Heaven agrees that I should kill you. This is the will of the world." Julian walked on like this.
He looked back and saw a figure being chased at an intersection. Julian was completely bewildered. The guard captain and guards were chasing Gion. Seeing Gion, they shouted, "Hey, you little girl who skipped out on your bill, you dare to run? We'll sell you as a slave tomorrow morning!" Gion's face darkened, and she said, "Stop chasing me, I won't go back with you."
Julian, not having awakened Armament Haki and not hearing clearly, just thought it was noisy. However, he heard a woman shouting, "I won't go back with you! I don't want to be a slave!" Julian felt extremely angry. They were arresting women to be slaves late at night. It was inhumane.
Julian directly used Soru to accelerate and appeared in front of the guards. The guards were startled to see Julian. The guard captain spoke first, "Who are you to interfere in my business?" Julian replied, "A person who upholds justice. Are you even human, arresting women to be slaves late at night?" The guards split into two lines, surrounding Julian and Gion. The guard captain said, "Who is that? How dare they meddle? Do you know who we are?"
Julian looked at the arrogant people opposite him and became interested. He said, "Tell me who you are and what your background is. Let me hear it, so I can tailor my treatment for you." Gion said, "They are bad people. They want to force me, a young girl, into slavery."
Julian said, "Are you all like this?" The guard captain replied, "Not at all. This woman ate at our restaurant without paying. She was supposed to work off her debt, but she hasn't paid it off yet and is trying to escape. If she escapes, we'll have our wages docked." Julian said, "Then who exactly are you? I want to know your background."
