The Celestial Dragons Are Dead, You Have Regained Your Freedom

The stench of urine wafted from beneath him, followed by wave after wave of Conqueror's Haki flying blades piercing Charlos's body.

Bright red blood scattered through the air. The intense pain made Charlos let out a heart-rending, pig-like scream before he struggled one last time and collapsed into a pool of blood.

Ye Yu clenched his fists. His Conqueror's Haki had become even denser than before, and the upgrade to the Advanced Flash-Flash Fruit had increased his speed by leaps and bounds!

Ye Yu waved a hand and spoke to Urouge beside him in the tone of a boss lecturing his underling.

"See that? Celestial Dragons bleed red too. They can feel fear as well!"

"And... you are free now!" Ye Yu turned to the side and addressed the Celestial Dragon slaves whom his Conqueror's Haki had deliberately avoided and who were now trembling in terror.

When they heard that they were free, the dull, vacant look in their eyes gradually regained some life.

"We... we're free?"

None of them dared believe what had happened today. Having been enslaved by the Celestial Dragons for so long, they had long since become numb.

"Yes! From today onward, you are free!"

"Return to your hometowns! That is where you belong!"

With that, Ye Yu used his Conqueror's Haki to instantly remove the explosive collars from the slaves' necks. He let his Haki seep inside to damage them from within, then tossed them into the sky!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the explosions rang out, the slaves regained their voices!

Only then did the slaves before him believe that they were truly free.

One after another, they knelt before Ye Yu. Overjoyed at regaining their freedom, they wept with joy, kowtowed, and wailed.

"We're free!"

"We're free!"

"Thank you, benefactor! Thank you, benefactor!"

Those who had never lost their freedom could never understand how these slaves felt at that moment!

To regain freedom was no different from being reborn!

Ye Yu and the others left, leaving behind only their backs.

With his back to them, Ye Yu waved. "Remember, a man's knees are worth gold. Don't kneel at the drop of a hat. You are no longer slaves."

After Ye Yu left, several slaves bid each other farewell.

"I must tell the people in my hometown about that young man's deeds!"

"That's right. There really are people in this world who can resist the Celestial Dragons!"

"The Celestial Dragons are not gods!"

Bette, the middle-aged man in the sky, was stunned speechless for a long time after witnessing Ye Yu kill a Celestial Dragon.

He glanced back at Ruth beside him, unable to calm his heart.

Bette's lips trembled. "Ruth, that... that young man named Ye Yu really killed a descendant of the gods?"

With a strange expression, Bette asked suspiciously. Even now, he still could not believe that someone had openly killed a Celestial Dragon just like that!

Only after being questioned by the middle-aged man did Ruth snap out of her dazed state. Her face was solemn.

"That's right, Branch President Bette. The Celestial Dragons... the lofty Celestial Dragons are dead! Their blood has spilled all over the ground!"

After receiving Ruth's confirmation, the middle-aged man finally believed that the Celestial Dragon lying on the ground had truly been killed!

Bette looked utterly shocked and swallowed hard.

Gulp...

"Big news! This is absolutely huge news! Report to President Morgans immediately!"

"Ye Yu, captain of the Whitebeard Pirates' Zero Division, you are my lucky star! I'm going to make it big this time!"

After leaving the auction house, Ye Yu and the others arrived at the coast where Ye Yu's warship had been docked.

The sea continued to rise and fall in waves as it always had.

Ye Yu looked out over the sea and spoke to Tyrant Bear beside him. "What do you think, Bear? Would you be willing to help someone like me?"

With a faint smile, Ye Yu asked calmly. He had already guessed Tyrant Bear's answer.

Tyrant Bear lowered the Bible in his hand and answered solemnly, "Of course, Mr. Ye Yu."

Ye Yu looked at Tyrant Bear before him. This was the man who, for the sake of the Revolutionary Army, had willingly sacrificed himself as Vegapunk's test subject and willingly offered up his body for modification. Ye Yu greatly admired him.

After thinking for a moment, Ye Yu still spoke. "Bear, are you interested in dealing with the Marines alongside me?"

A gust of wind blew past, making Tyrant Bear's clothes flutter as though he were contemplating something. At last, his lips moved slightly.

Tyrant Bear was certainly willing to fight the Marines alongside the Whitebeard Pirates, but he had more important matters to attend to. The Revolutionary Army was targeting the far greater force behind the Marines!

Although Ye Yu was powerful, for the sake of people all over the world, Tyrant Bear still chose the path with greater odds of victory, even if it required sacrifices!

"Mr. Ye Yu, if possible, I truly would like to spend some time with you."

"However, I have more important things to do."

"And there is one final piece of advice from a friend that I hope you will listen to."

"Although you are powerful, the Celestial Dragons' forces are far more than just the Marines! You killed a Celestial Dragon, so be careful from now on, Mr. Ye Yu!"

"Then farewell, Mr. Ye Yu," Tyrant Bear murmured.

With that, Tyrant Bear directly used his Paw-Paw ability, enveloping Ye Yu, Urouge, and the enormous warship in a massive bear-paw-shaped air bubble.

Bang!

With a sharp sound, Ye Yu and the enormous warship vanished from before Tyrant Bear.

Tyrant Bear alone remained behind, holding his Bible as he quietly gazed at the sea before him.

The revolution needed people like Ye Yu, but it also needed those willing to sacrifice themselves. Tyrant Bear was one such sacrifice for the revolution!

After a long while, Tyrant Bear looked at the turbulent sea before him. His eyes flickered as he slowly spoke in Ye Yu's direction.

"I hope... you succeed, Mr. Ye Yu!"

During the days Ye Yu traveled within the bear-paw air bubble, the entire world became extraordinarily restless!

Ye Yu's existence, in particular, made the world even more turbulent!

After the battle on the Sabaody Archipelago ended, the place fell silent. Local residents gradually emerged onto the streets.

When they saw the slain Celestial Dragon, they were utterly shocked!

A Celestial Dragon... a Celestial Dragon had actually died?!

One after another, they stared with their mouths wide open.

A group of Marines dispersed all the onlookers gathered around the Celestial Dragon's corpse.

Then, a rear admiral hurriedly called Marine Headquarters.
