The Burning of Mary Geoise

"This Fish-Man wants to do something earth-shattering: liberate the slaves! We must help him, cooperate with him, and rescue more slaves from the Celestial Dragons' hell."

Dragon's speech was inspiring, and the Revolutionary Army quickly reached a consensus.

Most importantly, with the Celestial Dragons controlling the world, no one dares to liberate slaves; even if they did, they might unknowingly die.

For them, and for the Revolutionary Army, this was also a very meaningful and milestone event.

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Night Pirates, "Nelson, you'll be working with Rediat. The tasks of setting the fires and planting the bombs are yours. Don't touch the key areas. Also, be careful not to go too far and don't let anyone see you."

Teach looked at Nelson and Rediat and reminded them that all they needed to do was create chaos, with Fisher Tiger and the Revolutionary Army leading the charge.

"Yes, don't worry."

This sounds exciting! Nelson and Rediat will both become bomb-crackers and arsonists, as the space is filled with a large number of bombs and gasoline.

Fisher Tiger gazed at the sky, feeling a sense of exhilaration. Under the rule of the World Government, the relationship between humans and Fish-Man was tense, and most humans discriminated against Fish-Man. He never expected that someone would help him.

Although they may each have their own motives, it still made him happy to know that there are people among humans who can be trusted.

As everyone knows, there is only one way to get to the Holy Land Mary Geoise: the Ascension Passage controlled by the World Government. The Marine Headquarters is very close to it and can come to its aid at any time.

That is why Holy Land Mary Geoise has never been breached and remains very safe.

Now, besides flying, there is a second route: the Red Line. After all, the Holy Land is located on the Red Line, and the Revolutionary Army will also use this route to invade the Holy Land.

This plan has one premise: Fisher Tiger first sets off a fire in the Holy Land, causing chaos and attracting the attention of the Holy Land's defense forces. The Revolutionary Army, with the help of the Revolutionary Army, then launches an invasion, further creating chaos.

With the involvement of the Revolutionary Army, Fisher Tiger's feat of climbing the Red Line with his bare hands was impossible, because the Revolutionary Army did not believe that Fisher Tiger could do it, and if they did not believe it, they would fall into the abyss.

Besides, Fisher Tiger isn't alone now; he has helpers.

Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, plans to personally intervene to prevent any unforeseen events and to fend off any potential powerful opponents.

Besides liberating slaves, the Revolutionary Army had another objective: to obtain substantial operating funds from the Celestial Dragons were among the wealthiest people in the world.

Organizations need money to grow, and the larger they expand, the more money they need to maintain them.

Moreover, the Revolutionary Army doesn't have much funding right now, mainly because it's focused on fighting the World Government. They're constantly investing in the Red Line, and the Revolutionary Army has recruited many residents of the Red Line who have suffered persecution from the Celestial Dragons and the Revolutionary Army World Government.

Consumption naturally increased significantly, and it was also necessary to continuously spend money to secretly purchase grain around the world.

The Revolutionary Army had no qualms about doing such things; they robbed the enemy of their money to develop themselves and fight back against the enemy.

Even though the World Government expended some of its resources to overcome the difficulties following the Golden Sea Battle, and the Celestial Dragons' wealth shrank to some extent, their total wealth was still astonishing.

Similarly, the Night Pirates also have the same goal: to acquire the Celestial Dragons' wealth, but they also have other motives.

The Celestial Dragons have lost a great deal of wealth, which naturally needs to be replenished by the World Government. This will put some pressure on the World Government's finances, since supporting the Celestial Dragons requires a huge amount of wealth.

In order to alleviate the pressure, the World Government will further oppress the Red Line. Already being squeezed to the limit, more people on the Red Line will rebel, leave the Red Line, or join the Revolutionary Army.

This would also ignite a more intense war with the Revolutionary Army.

At the same time, it may also reduce naval spending.

They even raised the Heavenly Gold, which provoked resistance from the Affiliated Nation.

To replenish their lost slaves and continue their pleasures, the Celestial Dragons would squander their wealth to buy even more slaves.

These are all highly probable follow-ups that will have a wide-ranging impact, and the potential benefits are actually far more astonishing.

They are gradually weakening the World Government while simultaneously preparing for future actions.

The Flying Pirates will be making their move soon.

While weakening the World Government, this event will inevitably increase the defensive strength of the Holy Land, and it is very likely that a Marine Admiral will take turns guarding the Holy Land.

The increased defenses of the Holy Land will naturally create greater obstacles for the Flying Pirates' operations.

Regardless, the Flying Pirates will not succeed, and no one wants to see Flying Pirates succeed.

A mutually destructive outcome is the best result. In the New World today, the only crew that can hinder the Night Pirates is the Flying Pirates. The Whitebeard Pirates are no match, and neither are the Beasts Pirates or Big Mom.

In terms of overall strength, the only one that can threaten the Night Pirates is the Flying Pirates, although Teach doesn't currently believe that the Night Pirates are a threat to the Flying Pirates.

But an obstacle is an obstacle, and it needs to be removed in advance.

If the Flying Pirates suffer heavy losses, then the Night Pirates will become the World's Strongest.

Even Shiki could be defeated and captured, causing the Flying Pirates to split up and the Five Emperors to become the Four Emperors —all of this is possible.

Therefore, the impact is multifaceted, and everything depends on the interests of the Night Pirates and Teach himself.

Moreover, the "IQ" plants growing on Weil Island, which is controlled by the Flying Pirates, are likely an important part of human evolution.

Teach was determined to get his hands on it; how could he achieve his goal if the Flying Pirates didn't encounter trouble?

The appointed day arrived quickly.

As night deepened, a figure was swept up by the wind and rose into the air, gradually approaching the Holy Land from the sea.

It was Fisher Tiger who helped him, and the dragon was the one who helped him.

As Fisher Tiger ascends to the Red Line, the dragon's silhouette is hidden in the wind.

Gazing at the distant Holy Land, Fisher Tiger took a deep breath, climbed the towering city wall, and sneaked in. The defenses on the edge of the Red Line were very weak, so Fisher Tiger's movements were easy.

After all, no one expected anyone to dare invade the Holy Land, and now the Holy Land's defenses are concentrated on the two directions where the Revolutionary Army is located.

According to the plan, they would first set fire to attract the attention of the World Government's garrison, while the Revolutionary Army would take advantage of the weakened defenses to infiltrate the Holy Land and cooperate with Fisher Tiger to set fire to the Holy Land.

Then go to the Celestial Dragons' residential area to liberate all the slaves.

Now that the Celestial Dragons are all gathered together, and the high-level forces of the Holy Land are also focused on protecting Celestial Dragons, those guards are no match for Fisher Tiger at all, and can't even detect Fisher Tiger.

Bright flames burned; Fisher Tiger had begun setting fire to the Holy Land's buildings.

"Oh no! Fire! Quick, put it out!"

If the burning building isn't dealt with quickly, it will anger the Celestial Dragons and lead to accountability. Although the Holy Land Guards have very good benefits, they are still under pressure.

However, they also witnessed the greatest evil in the world. They knew very well just how cunning the Celestial Dragons were, and their various methods terrified them.

Some guards who accidentally angered the Celestial Dragons became slaves, and some were even sent directly to the Celestial Dragon Colosseum, where they faced certain death. Countless slaves have died in the Colosseum.

Especially these days, the Celestial Dragons have become even more ruthless in order to vent their anger.

The Holy Land is on fire, and the flames are spreading rapidly. A large number of guards have gathered to prepare for firefighting.

Under Fisher Tiger's manipulation, several areas of the Holy Land were engulfed in flames, especially with the help of an unknown wind that fanned the flames and made them burn even more fiercely.

The Holy Land suddenly caught fire, something that had never happened before, so there was no time to deal with it. Even when water was brought in from afar, it was not enough to contain the fire.

In the darkness, the firelight shone exceptionally brightly, like a signal that caught the attention of many.

As the fire spread, the guards protecting the Holy Land site began to be mobilized, making the defenses even weaker. The Revolutionary Army received the signal and took the opportunity to infiltrate the Holy Land and set it on fire at will.

Before long, the entire Holy Land was engulfed in flames, burning continuously amidst constant shouts.

At this point, the Holy Land also realized that the fire had been premeditated.

Meanwhile, the Revolutionary Army's infiltration had been discovered by the World Government, but the sudden attack and the continuous fire caused some panic throughout the Holy Land.

Secretly, Nelson and Rediat arrived early and, without anyone knowing, poured gasoline all over the Holy Land and set it on fire.

With the dragon's help, the fire raged fiercely, and in a short time, more than half of the Holy Land was covered in flames.

The fierce flames made people afraid to approach.

The air distorted constantly within the flames, and waves of heat relentlessly assaulted the flames, making it impossible to contain the fire.

"Damn it, what is the Revolutionary Army trying to do?" The news of the Revolutionary Army's invasion of the Holy Land enraged the Gorosei. Such a massive fire was unprecedented for the World Government and a huge disgrace.

"Quickly send people to put out the fire. Also, notify the Navy. On such an important day, the Revolutionary Army's target is likely the Celestial Dragons. The Celestial Dragons cannot be allowed to be harmed."

CP0 has made no move; their numbers are already small, and there's no surprise they need to protect the Celestial Dragons.

Therefore, a strange situation has arisen in the Holy Land: the Celestial Dragons are staying in the core area under protection, and the World Government has not sent any high-level forces to deal with the Revolutionary Army that has invaded the Holy Land. They are wary and dare not take action casually.

Even if they were willing, the Celestial Dragons wouldn't. What in this world is more precious than their lives?

This is precisely why the chaos could not be ended immediately; instead, it escalated.

"What? The Revolutionary Army has invaded Mary Geoise?" Sengoku's eyes widened in disbelief.

Keep in mind that Douglas Bullet, the "Heir of the Devil," had only been captured a month ago. The Navy and the World Government were riding high on their power, so why would the Revolutionary Army dare to do this? What is their purpose?

Given the Revolutionary Army's style, they wouldn't do anything pointless, and Ryu has always been very steady.

Sengoku realized something serious had happened and immediately sent Kuzan and Frieda to Mary Geoise to provide support.

Interestingly, Fisher Tiger, the main figure responsible for all of this, was completely overshadowed by the Revolutionary Army, since the two posed a threat on completely different levels.

With Fisher Tiger added, there's only one person, making him elusive and incredibly powerful. Even if discovered, he can kill whoever finds him, preventing himself from being exposed.

In contrast, the Revolutionary Army was of mixed quality, and their invasion was discovered not long after it began.

The Celestial Dragons' residence appears to be incredibly prosperous, but in reality, it is a gigantic prison holding a large number of slaves.

This is the epicenter of all evil in the world, burying countless corpses and vengeful spirits. If there were any undead fruits, they could easily create an army of the dead here.

Fisher Tiger and some members of the Revolutionary Army have already invaded this area and freed a large number of slaves.

"Hurry up, you're free! Take this opportunity to escape, the Revolutionary Army will lead you."

Compared to Fisher Tiger alone, with the help of the Revolutionary Army, they would be able to liberate the slaves much faster.

Tens of thousands of slaves seemed to smell the scent of freedom and escaped under the leadership of Fisher Tiger and the Revolutionary Army.

The large number of slaves were divided into two groups: the Fish-Man followed Fisher Tiger, while the humans and other races followed the Revolutionary Army. Compared to the Fish-Man, these slaves felt that the Revolutionary Army was easier to trust, and Fisher Tiger could not take away many slaves; it would be enough for him to rescue his own people.

Regardless of how this operation began, in the eyes of the World Government, the Revolutionary Army is the mastermind behind the elimination of slavery, and no amount of explanation from the Revolutionary Army will change that.

No one could have imagined that the leader would be a Fish-Man, and Fisher Tiger's influence in this event would be greatly diminished.

Fisher Tiger is happy to see this, as it will greatly reduce the pressure he faces from the Navy and the World Government's manhunt.

The Revolutionary Army took up this banner without hesitation. If successful, it would not only damage the reputation of the World Government, but also enhance the reputation of the Revolutionary Army.

Even after years of development and various forms of propaganda, the Revolutionary Army transformed from an illegal underground organization into a large, world-renowned organization.

However, the Revolutionary Army's reputation among most people was generally poor, going from bad to average.

This is the reason for the suppression of public opinion by various kingdoms and the World Government.

If this operation succeeds, it will surely change the impression of the Revolutionary Army in the minds of people around the world and greatly increase its momentum.

After all, the slave trade was something most people abhorred, so Long strongly promoted this action.

Dragon doesn't want the Revolutionary Army to remain in darkness; the Revolutionary Army should stand in the sunlight.

If it can change the world's perception of the Revolutionary Army, then the gains would be something that even billions of dollars could not buy.

Therefore, the Revolutionary Army dispatched a considerable force, with Dragon personally taking action to provide cover.

In the shadows, Rediat and Nelson hid in a corner of the Red Line, within Shadow Space.

The Shadow Space contains vast amounts of wealth: gold, Beli, and Devil Fruit —these are their spoils.

While Fisher Tiger was on his mission, they took advantage of the chaos to raid the Celestial Dragons' residences and loot a large amount of treasure.

However, based on their principle of taking half, they only take half of each Celestial Dragons's wealth. With Nelson's abilities, even some hidden treasures cannot escape their grasp, so they actually take more treasures than they intend.

They left the other half to the Revolutionary Army, especially those valuable and collectible items such as paintings, calligraphy, and antiques that needed to be sold.

These were all left to the Revolutionary Army. With these items, the Revolutionary Army would have to sell them to acquire wealth, either on the black market or around the world.

This would further convince the World Government that the Revolutionary Army had robbed the Celestial Dragons' treasure vault.

"As expected of Celestial Dragons, they are truly wealthy." Nelson looked at the mountain of treasure, which included many Devil Fruits. The value of this treasure alone was as high as trillions of Beli.

The World Government needs to rely on the Celestial Dragons' wealth to overcome difficulties, which gives you an idea of just how rich Celestial Dragons, especially considering the priceless treasures Celestial Dragons possess.

"It's such a pity that so much treasure is going to be taken by the Revolutionary Army," Nelson lamented.

Even if only a small portion remains, the wealth they possess is terrifying; one can imagine how much the Revolutionary Army will gain.

Nelson still retains his penny-pinching nature. Although he doesn't value treasures much, he's still somewhat resentful to see his prized possessions taken by others.

"We've gained enough. Wouldn't it be better to make the Revolutionary Army the target of everyone's attacks? The Revolutionary Army will definitely become a target for the World Government and the Navy."

"Although they gained a lot, they also lost a lot. They will definitely suffer considerable losses, especially in the future. In comparison, we have made a huge profit."

Rediat reassured him that although there was a lot of wealth, he was not greatly disturbed. He had seen much more wealth before, and the legendary Golden Land was in their hands.

They only participated in this operation in secret; the Revolutionary Army actually made the biggest sacrifice. Those who invaded the Holy Land were the elite troops that the Revolutionary Army had cultivated over the years, and at least half of them would remain in the Holy Land.

They will also face the wrath of the World Government, and forces around the world will suffer major blows on the Red Line.

Now, the Revolutionary Army's headquarters has been exposed: the East China Sea. This is because several kingdoms in the East China Sea have experienced unusual power shifts, and the Revolutionary Army is involved.

Discovered by the World Government, the Revolutionary Army also faced resistance from many kingdoms in the East Blue, as no one wanted such an illegal force within their territory.

However, due to the direct confrontation on the Red Line, the World Government did not have the energy to focus its attention on the East China Sea.

"Get ready, the last brilliant firework." Nelson's face broke into an excited smile as he pulled out a push-button switch. They had left quite a few valuable items in the Holy Land. "Let it all be destroyed."

Fisher Tiger had rescued and escaped from the Holy Land with the Fish-Man slaves he had freed, and was preparing to leave without much hindrance.

The large number of slaves led by the Revolutionary Army attracted the attention of the World Government.

These slaves, along with their vast wealth, could not be hidden and were quickly discovered by the World Government.

The message, "Quickly bring back my treasures and slaves!" directly enraged the Celestial Dragons, who were now being targeted by the Revolutionary Army for their wealth and slaves.

This pushed them to their breaking point, and they rose up in indignation.

They didn't care about losses elsewhere; they could simply rebuild. But their treasures and slaves were their property, and they couldn't just stand by and watch them be taken away.

Under the orders of the Celestial Dragons, the World Government finally dispatched its forces, with a large number of agents taking action in the direction the Revolutionary Army had retreated, preparing to reclaim the property belonging to the Celestial Dragons.

Several CP0 members even made a move, but were immediately blocked by the dragon.

A hurricane swept through, and flames burned continuously, forming a huge red fire tornado with the wind, accompanied by scorching heat—it was terrifying.

Furthermore, under Dragon's control, they moved towards the Celestial Dragons' location, forcing these powerful figures of the World Government to protect Celestial Dragons.

The wind fanned the flames, and the fire fanned the wind.

The terrifying fire tornado threw the Celestial Dragons into a panic. Now, they had no time to worry about their treasures and slaves. They hurriedly summoned their agents back to protect them.

A large number of agents and guards fought against the Revolutionary Army. The Revolutionary Army fought and retreated, and some of the treasure was lost and recovered by the World Government.

After all, there was simply too much treasure. Even with some manpower allocated, it was impossible to take all of the Celestial Dragons' treasure with them. Carrying a large amount of treasure would hinder the battle, causing the treasure to fall continuously.

This caused the Revolutionary Army great distress.

Suddenly, the dragon's expression changed high in the sky. "Retreat! The navy is coming!"

Combined with his abilities, Dragon's Observation Haki granted him an extremely wide range of perception. The wind was Dragon's eye, and he clearly sensed that the Navy's support had arrived, along with two powerful auras.

One of them is rapidly approaching; it should be "Black Dove" Frieda.

With a wave of his hand, Long conjured a hurricane that quickly swept in and blocked the path of the numerous agents and guards, forming an indestructible wind barrier that prevented them from continuing their pursuit of the Revolutionary Army and gave them more time to retreat.

Upon receiving the dragon's command, the Revolutionary Army and the freed slaves sped up, discarding some treasures and ruthlessly destroying the valuables.

The Revolutionary Army already faced considerable difficulties in infiltrating the Holy Land; now, carrying so much treasure and an even greater number of slaves, how will they escape?

Keep in mind that there is a large army on the Red Line!

Golden Sea Battle, the army was also replenished, and in recent years it has been fighting against the Revolutionary Army, whose power on the Red Line has been expanding. Its overall number has remained at around 600,000.

There are 300,000 people on each of the Red Line on either side of the Holy Land.

Under the command of the Revolutionary Army, the war has begun on the Red Line. The Revolutionary Army is fighting the Army, and in coordination with tonight's attack, it has tied down a large number of Army troops.

If they cannot evacuate in a short time, the army only needs to send a portion to hold them off and buy time. Together with the World Government's agents, guards, and the arriving navy, they will likely all remain here.

However, the Revolutionary Army had already made preparations, and on one side of the Red Line, which was the direction in which the Revolutionary Army retreated.

A tall figure, wrapped in a cloak and completely covered from head to toe, held a Bible in his hands.

If you wanted to travel, where would you like to go?

The figures flashed by, constantly striking the arriving Revolutionary Army and the freed slaves.

Everyone he touched vanished instantly.

The slaves were excited, but not afraid; they knew they could finally leave this hell.

Frieda in the sky has begun fighting the dragon.

Below, "Ice Age!"

A terrifying chill was released; even outside the ocean, the Chill-Chill Fruit still displayed terrifying power, instantly suppressing the fire, or rather, making it disappear.

The area that was originally burning was completely frozen, and the flames were extinguished by the low temperature.

Dragon shifted the battlefield to the high sky, making it easier for him to retreat. Below, the gales he created were causing further damage to the already ruined Holy Land and delaying the World Government and the Navy's pursuit.
