The Horn of Freedom

"Alright! Stop tidying up the scalpels, let's go!" Zig grabbed the slave doctor and fled the operating room together.

"Wait... don't pull me! My arm!" The doctor hadn't expected Zig's strength to be so immense, his arm was almost dislocated.

Both were veteran slaves, and slaves with a degree of freedom at that. They couldn't claim to know all of Mary Geoise, but they were at least familiar with the area around the Charlos Family.

The Celestial Dragons had already gone to seek refuge, and the doctor was preparing to head to the place of safety the guards had just told him about.

Right now, who knew how many rioters had infiltrated Mary Geoise, or how many Pirate Slaves had broken free from their restraints, burning and killing everywhere to muddy the waters or simply to vent their rage!

Seeing that no guards were paying attention nearby, Zig suddenly said, "The master's favorite dinner plate must not have been taken yet. You go back first, I'll go take a look over there."

Upon hearing this, the doctor looked at him suspiciously. If it were before, he wouldn't have doubted Zig too much; after all, he was a slave currently in favor. However, he had almost been castrated just now, and perhaps he intended to escape?

"I think we should forget it, Zig, we..." Wait! Gurgle... The doctor regretted speaking as soon as he opened his mouth.

Unfortunately, there was no longer any opportunity. The scalpel that had almost cut Zig just moments ago had been subtly pocketed by him at some unknown time. Now, with lightning speed, it sliced across the doctor's throat...

"I originally wanted to give you a chance... Old man, you were the one who reported me to that fat pig last year for giving Julia medicine for her injuries, weren't you?" Zig said coldly before turning to leave.

As a "spectator," Zig had immediately noticed the doctor's suspicion and his intention to stop him.

After arterial blood spurted out, the doctor let out a few final gurgles before his life faded.

Who wanted to go back and find those fat pigs? It was easy to imagine that the shelters would be heavily guarded with many experts. Zig didn't harbor any unrealistic hopes of immediate revenge; instead, he skirted towards the port.

Mary Geoise was located on the Red Line Continent, precisely at the point connecting the first half of the Grand Line to the second. It was also the only place on the Red Line Continent suitable for ordinary people to live.

After all, the entire Red Line Continent, except for the Mary Geoise area, had an altitude of at least three thousand meters. It cut off the Grand Line and also separated the "North Blue West Blue" from the "East Blue South Blue," forming a high-altitude continent encircling the globe...

The Mary Geoise area, facing the first half of the Grand Line, had gentle terrain and a port built to connect to the sea. On the back, facing the second half of the Grand Line, there were also cliffs thousands of meters high!

Set sail!

Zig had made up his mind and headed southeast.

At this moment, Zig saw a team of guards blocking the passage in the distance.

After a slight hesitation, Zig chose to slow his pace instead of immediately hiding.

Mary Geoise only housed Celestial Dragons, guards, and slaves; there were no Marines stationed there. However, among the Celestial Dragons' lackeys were many experts.

Zig's current physical condition was equivalent to that of an ordinary combatant in a pirate crew that had passed the first half of the Grand Line, at the level of a Marine Headquarters Sergeant. To escape, he could only rely on the chaos; he couldn't hope that no one would discover him.

"Go back! Slaves are forbidden from fleeing southeast, don't think I don't know what you're trying to do!" The guards pointed their swords and firearms at a group of slaves in front of them.

The commotion was still ongoing in the distance, while this area remained relatively quiet.

However, for the slaves, the sounds of shouting, fighting, and desperate destruction from afar were the bells of freedom...

These slaves clearly had no combat personnel among them, and most were young girls.

The leading guard was over three meters tall and over three meters wide—he looked like a burly gorilla!

Zig had long since adapted to this world, which not only had various strange human races but also powerful individuals whose bodies grew enormous, even bizarre and grotesque, as if their Gene Locks had malfunctioned.

Zig noticed at this moment that among the female slaves confronting the guards, some were covertly transforming into beasts—these were likely Fruit Slaves raised by some Celestial Dragons with peculiar tastes.

"Brother Togel! Be careful, I suggest we bring out two water cannons! These lowly slaves always fail to understand their place!" Zig quickly called out.

Fortunately, Zig recognized the leading guard. He was a guard for another Celestial Dragon of the Charlos Family, whom Zig had seen many times before.

The "spectator" ability allowed Zig to quickly understand what was happening here. At the same time, he realized that the other party had also spotted him, making it impossible to sneak away.

"Zig? Hmm... Where did these people escape from? There should be quite a few Devil Fruit users among them... But what are you doing here?" Togel looked at Zig with slight suspicion.

The other slaves present now glared furiously at the lackey.

Zig said with feigned distress, "It's the master's favorite plate, in the banquet hall over there... Brother Togel, could you and your men possibly retrieve it for me later?" As he spoke, Zig took a few steps closer, appearing to try and curry favor.

Seeing that Zig didn't intend to go over, Togel gradually let down his guard. After all, Zig was originally a "slave with status."

"Didn't you hear the shouts and fighting over there? It's already been looted, no need to go look!" Togel shook his head.

"That's truly... a shame."

The "spectator" ability allowed Zig to roughly gauge Togel's thoughts, and he seized the moment of Togel's relaxation!

Zig lowered his head with a worried expression, while Togel inwardly chuckled. Given the Celestial Dragons' temperament, this little slave would likely be punished again...

But at this moment, a killing intent suddenly erupted!

Togel had been an elite soldier in his day, but he had been transferred to Mary Geoise long ago. Not only had his opportunities to fight enemies decreased, but his battlefield instincts had also become dulled.

It was still too late. Zig, who had previously shown no signs of aggression, suddenly lunged. There were no fancy moves or techniques, only "fast, accurate, and ruthless." He leaped up and plunged the scalpel into Togel's neck!

"Ah! Damn it!" In extreme pain, Togel angrily punched at Zig.

Zig was sent flying far away like a rag doll, crashing through a decorative low wall...

Zig felt his ribs break, but even so, the scalpel in his hand never loosened!

A huge gash opened on Togel's neck—Togel hadn't expected this seemingly harmless slave to possess such strength, speed... and more importantly, ferocity!

Blood poured uncontrollably from between his fingers as he clutched his wound. Togel gradually lost strength and knelt down!

"Sisters, don't just stand there, charge!" Zig stood up, enduring the intense pain.

At this moment, scales could be vaguely seen on his body, flowing beneath his skin...

This was one of the abilities of a "Sailor," which gave Zig some Fish-Man physique. When his Blood Essence surged, a layer of phantom scales protected him!

Otherwise, it wouldn't have just been cracked ribs...
