Fish-Man Island, Fish-Man District, red-skinned Fish-Man walk along the streets, gazing at the familiar yet seemingly improved environment.

"It seems that a lot has changed on Fish-Man Island while I was away," Fisher Tiger remarked with some emotion. He could clearly sense that the overall atmosphere of Fish-Man District had improved considerably.

Of course, nothing has fundamentally changed; there are still a large number of orphans.

"Yes, many members have joined the Night Pirates. The Night Pirates have given us an island to live on and provided shelter, so we don't have to worry about human traffickers anymore." Jinbe, the captain of the Ryugu Palace guards, said Jinbe, somewhat pleased, as he also thought it was a good thing.

When the topic of human traffickers came up, a shadow crossed Fisher Tiger's eyes, as if he were transported back to that hellish time.

However, he didn't show it; instead, he seemed somewhat curious about the Night Pirates.

After all, as an adventurer, he had been away from Fish-Man Island for many years and had been captured and enslaved by the Celestial Dragons. Although he had heard of the Night Pirates, he knew very little about Night Pirates.

After some investigation, Fisher Tiger learned that the Night Pirates had become one of the most powerful forces among the Sea Emperor of the New World, which was why they had the power to protect the Fish-Man.

Fisher Tiger couldn't believe it when he heard that his race was being treated well in the Night Sea Domain, but he also felt a sense of relief.

While the Night Pirates need the Fish-Man's power, that's normal; what company doesn't give something in return?

"I really want to go and see the Night Sea Domain," Fisher Tiger couldn't help but say.

"Fisher Tiger, I can go with you if you want. The Night Pirates' ship will be arriving at Fish-Man Island in a few days, inviting those who want to join the Night Pirates or want to go to the mainland to board the ship and head to the Night Sea Domain." Jinbe has been to the Night Sea Domain before, and he has to say, it's a great place.

"Alright, let's go take a look together then. Before that, I need to see Queen Otohime and the King," Fisher Tiger said earnestly. "Also, let's see some old friends and find a secluded place to get together."

Your own people know there's nothing wrong, but if outsiders find out, it could cause a lot of trouble.

He was a runaway slave of the Celestial Dragons, a wanted criminal, and he didn't want Fish-Man Island to be affected by his existence.

Even after returning to Fish-Man Island, Fisher Tiger only came back secretly. He happened to run into Jinbe on patrol. He disguised himself so that no one else could discover his identity except for Jinbe.

"Okay, I'll go inform them right away. They'll be so happy to know Fisher Tiger is back." Jinbe was delighted. "Also, some of my crewmates have already joined the Night Pirates, so I'll be able to meet them when we go to the Night Sea Domain."

After saying that, Jinbe began to take action, going to inform his former Fish-Man companions.

As he left, Jinbe glanced at Fisher Tiger with a hint of worry in his eyes. He keenly sensed that, unlike before, Fisher Tiger seemed reluctant to talk about his experiences and adventures.

Fisher Tiger, recalling that hellish life, clenched his fists.

Then, Fisher Tiger walked toward their former secret base.

I met with some familiar friends and asked them not to publicize my return.

Then, led by Jinbe, Fisher Tiger entered the Ryugu Palace. Queen Otohime and the King had already received news of Fisher Tiger's return.

Fisher Tiger holds an important position on Fish-Man Island, especially among the many Fish-Man Race, where he is widely respected. He is an outstanding adventurer and traveler, deeply trusted and respected by the Dragon Palace, and a frequent guest of King Neptune and Queen Otohime of Fish-Man Island.

His open chest revealed red marks resembling hooves.

Neptune and Queen Otohime listened to Fisher Tiger's story, and only then did they understand what Fisher Tiger had gone through in the past four years.

Just hearing about it is chilling and terrifying. There are rumors about the Celestial Dragons, but I never imagined they would be this wicked.

Fisher Tiger became a slave of the Celestial Dragons shortly after his last trip, only managing to escape a few days ago.

"I have reached my limit of tolerance for the lives of slaves who are living in hell on earth."

Fisher Tiger spoke, tears welling in his eyes. His body was covered in wounds, and his clenched fists pounded his thighs.

"Fisher Tiger, what do you want to do?"

"I will infiltrate the Holy Land and liberate all the slaves there." Fisher Tiger was very determined. "Don't worry, it won't involve Fish-Man Island. Whether I succeed or not, I will never come back."

He knew the extent of the disaster that his actions would bring to his hometown if he returned to Fish-Man Island, even with the protection of the Whitebeard Pirates.

"Since you want to do it, we will support you. No matter what, you are a member of Fish-Man Island." With her Observation Haki Queen Otohime could clearly hear the immense lamentation emanating from Fisher Tiger's heart.

"Before that, I want to go to the Night Sea Domain to see that land that belongs to the Fish-Man, and the lives of my fellow fish-men."

"It's good to go and see, you won't be disappointed." Hearing this, Otohime smiled; this was her lifelong pursuit.

"Finally, please keep this a secret and do not tell anyone else that I have become Celestial Dragons's slave," Fisher Tiger said solemnly. He had only told Otohime and King Neptune about this and did not want his other Fish-Man brethren to know.

Pagila Island, in the heart of the Night Sea Domain, is a super-prosperous island like a pearl. Relying on the numerous industries of the Combat Pyramid, it offers everything from all over the world.

The island has a permanent population of over four million, and the number is constantly increasing as more people migrate from other places.

Only by being on this island can one truly appreciate its prosperity and the astonishing extent of its potential benefits.

Fisher Tiger walked alone on the street, feeling a prosperity and vitality he had never experienced before. Pirates and civilians lived together, and no one dared to cause trouble, because this was the territory of the Night Pirates.

Fisher Tiger arrived at a large gate in the Combat Pyramid, a gate hundreds of meters high, which even Oars could easily pass through.

Giants, fully armed, stood on either side.

Fisher Tiger took a deep breath and went inside.

Since the end of the war, many members of the Night Pirates have stayed at Combat Pyramid to maintain order or hone their skills and improve their strength.

Fisher Tiger was the second Fish-Man to enter the seventeenth level of the Combat Pyramid's main hall; the first was naturally Mog Radon.

The gazes of the Night Pirates' officers fell upon him, putting him under immense pressure.

In front of him lay a Den Den Mushi, the Den Den Mushi representing the Dark Emperor.

Seeking help from the Night Pirates was a spur-of-the-moment decision by Fisher Tiger. His actions were fraught with danger, and he didn't even know if he could succeed, given how perilous the Holy Land truly was.

With someone's help, his actions would undoubtedly be smoother, his pressure would be reduced, and he would be able to rescue more slaves.

There's nothing to hide from the Night Pirates, and their inherent opposition to the World Government means they won't expose him.

Even if he didn't intend to help him, he wouldn't lose anything; he would still do what he was supposed to do. That's what Fisher Tiger thought.

However, Fisher Tiger did not expect that he would actually alarm the Dark Emperor Teach.

"Fisher Tiger, is it? To Mary Geoise to free the slaves, a good idea." Teach's voice came through the Den Den Mushi, perfectly mimicking Teach's demeanor and expression.

If Fisher Tiger hadn't shown up, Teach would have almost forgotten about this supposed to happen.

This was undoubtedly a major event that should have happened a year ago, but due to changes in the situation at sea, Fisher Tiger was enslaved by the Celestial Dragons for a full four years.

However, some things that should happen will still happen, albeit with some deviations.

Fisher Tiger's plan to seek their help was something Teach hadn't expected, probably because of the good relationship between the Night Pirates and the Fish-Man.

"The Night Pirates will give you some help, such as preparing the tools for your escape in advance, and they can also help you cause more chaos in Mary Geoise. As for how to get to Mary Geoise, that's up to you."

Teach's words made Fisher Tiger's eyes shine even brighter.

He nodded quickly, "That's enough. I'll get to the Red Line myself."

"Give us a map of the Mary Geoise area that you know. Also, we will only operate covertly and must not reveal our information. You should understand that."

"No problem." Fisher Tiger said seriously. He was grateful that the Night Pirates could help him. If he offended the Night Pirates, the consequences would be unbearable.

He was prepared for the world to be on his hands.

As for what the Night Pirates might be after, that's none of his business, and it's not something he can get to know.

"If you need reinforcements, I can help you make connections, but whether you can persuade them is up to you."

"Is that so?" The surprise came too suddenly, and Fisher Tiger was also a little confused and curious.

"Revolutionary Army."

To escalate the situation further, the Revolutionary Army's involvement is necessary. Revolutionary Army influence on the Red Line is growing, even extending to confronting the World Government, which could provide Fisher Tiger with greater assistance.

At the same time, it allows the Revolutionary Army and Fisher Tiger to bear the pressure from the World Government, while the Night Pirates remain hidden behind the scenes, profiting from the situation.

"Then how do I contact the Revolutionary Army?" For Fisher Tiger, the more friends he had, the better, as it would increase his chances of success. He didn't have much confidence in succeeding on his own.

Teach didn't believe it either. It would be difficult enough for Fisher Tiger to climb the Red Line by himself, let alone infiltrate the Holy Land and cause chaos by setting it on fire.

He didn't believe in luck or coincidence; he only believed in his own plan. Since he had decided to get involved, he naturally wanted to ensure a high success rate and make the biggest commotion possible.

This is how the influence of World Government has been gradually eroded.

The Revolutionary Army, of course, would not refuse such a thing; in fact, they would be happy to participate.

Fisher Tiger himself is also quite strong. As an adventurer who ventures alone on the sea, he naturally needs to have enough strength to protect himself. Ordinary Marine Vice Admiral are no match for Fisher Tiger, and his combat power is extraordinary.

Although Fisher Tiger was unaware of the Revolutionary Army's inner workings, he knew that Revolutionary Army power should not be underestimated.

"I'll have someone give you Den Den Mushi, you can contact them yourself." With that, the Den Den Mushi hung up.

Teach didn't want to waste time on Fisher Tiger. Although the Night Pirates would hold a meeting later to discuss this matter, it wasn't something Fisher Tiger could listen to.

Soon, another Den Den Mushi was delivered to Fisher Tiger. Having worked together before, Teach naturally kept Dragon's Den Den Mushi, waiting for the next contact.

Dragon also hopes to cooperate with Teach, after all, the Night Pirates are too rich, and the food worth 5 billion Beli has undoubtedly given a large part of the Revolutionary Army's main force.

He initially thought it was Teach wanted to see him, but it turned out to be a Fish-Man. After hearing about Fish-Man 'Fisher Tiger experiences, thoughts, and what he was going to do next, Dragon became serious and decided to help Fisher Tiger.

This matter is absolutely beneficial to the Revolutionary Army. Just damaging the World Government's reputation alone is worthwhile for the Revolutionary Army to do, and the large number of slaves released can also absorb some of them into the Revolutionary Army, strengthening its foundation.

He was also clear about the Night Pirates' objective: to get the Revolutionary Army to draw the World Government's firepower, something they had done once before.

Moreover, the Revolutionary Army is now directly facing the World Government, so they don't mind having even stronger firepower.

The Night Pirates will definitely make their move, Dragon is certain of it, but they'll remain hidden in the shadows; the Night Pirates are far too cautious.

How many slaves were there on the Red Line? Dragon knew a little, and it was an unimaginable number. On average, each Celestial Dragons kept several hundred slaves.

Especially during the recent slavery crisis, a large number of residents of the Red Line became slaves of the Celestial Dragons. In addition, Celestial Dragons continued to come to the Sabaody Archipelago to purchase large numbers of slaves.

The Celestial Dragons purchased the most slaves directly bought more than 1,300 slaves.

As Teach remembered, Fisher Tiger only released a few thousand slaves in the Holy Land. This number was far too small compared to the total number of slaves held by the Celestial Dragons; it was only a small fraction.

Fisher Tiger was forced to leave before he could free all the slaves, before the World Government could react.

The reason it had such a huge impact is that Fisher Tiger was a leader of the slave abolition movement, which directly infringed upon the interests of the Celestial Dragons.

At the same time, he was the first person in history to cause chaos in Mary Geoise, and the first to dare to challenge the World Government.

With the help of the Revolutionary Army and the Night Pirates, they could create even greater chaos and release even more slaves. The rebellion of tens of thousands or even more slaves would be difficult for even the World Government to suppress.

After all, CP0's high-level combat forces would protect the Celestial Dragons at the first opportunity.

Even for the navy, it takes a considerable amount of time to provide support to the Holy Land.

The day of the operation will be on the night of "Holy Day," a month later. This is a special festival for the Celestial Dragons, on which many of Celestial Dragons will gather together.

At this time, most of the Holy Land's defensive forces will be concentrated in one place, which is their opportunity to act.

Having spent four years in the Holy Land, Fisher Tiger had a good understanding of some of Holy Land affairs and did not hide anything, providing considerable assistance to the Revolutionary Army and the Night Pirates.

The retreat routes were divided into two: one was the ships arranged by the Night Pirates beneath the Red Line, and the other was arranged by the Revolutionary Army away, since the number of slaves that might be rescued would be too large for Fisher Tiger to carry alone.

These slaves could also choose to run away on their own, instead of choosing either of these two paths.

As for the Night Pirates, they have no interest in these slaves; in fact, they would only bring trouble upon themselves. Although they are not afraid of the World Government, they are still a troublesome matter.

With a plan in place, take some time to prepare, and then simply wait for the right moment to act.

Regardless, the Revolutionary Army Revolutionary Army contribute the most, launching an attack on the World Government to draw its military forces and attention.

Secretly, they dispatched Revolutionary Army within the World Government and arranged for personnel to infiltrate the Holy Land to coordinate with Fisher Tiger's actions.

The Night Pirates are hiding behind the scenes.

Fisher Tiger will be at the forefront, becoming the target of the World Government's vengeance, and a key actor in the operation.

Fisher Tiger's fate was doomed; unable to return to Fish-Man Island, he was forced to wander the ocean, relying on his Fish-Man's swimming skills to evade the World Government's pursuit.

Unless he joins the Revolutionary Army and gains their protection.

After all, apart from the Revolutionary Army, no other force dared to risk confronting the World Government and the Navy to accept Fisher Tiger; the gains and losses were completely unequal.

Fisher Tiger left quickly, and thanks to the arrangements made by the Night Pirates, very few people knew that Fisher Tiger had come to the Night Sea Domain. Furthermore, no outsiders would know that Fisher Tiger had asked the Night Pirates for help.

Fisher Tiger will be handing over responsibilities to the Revolutionary Army, and some things can't be explained by Den Den Mushi.
