The Celestial Dragons Are Dead, You Have Regained Your Freedom

The stench of urine drifted from beneath his crotch as one Conqueror's Haki flying blade after another pierced Saint Charlos's body.

Bright red blood sprayed into the sky. The excruciating pain made Saint Charlos let out a heart-rending, pig-slaughter-like scream before he struggled briefly and collapsed into a pool of blood.

Ye Yu clenched his fists. His Conqueror's Haki was even denser than before, and the Flash-Flash Fruit had been upgraded to advanced as well, boosting 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 Dragon blood is red too. They feel fear too!"

"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, leaving them trembling in fear.

When they heard that they were free, the vacant, clouded looks in their eyes gradually regained a trace of life.

"W-We are 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 and indifferent.

"Yes! From this day onward, you are free!"

"Go back 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. His Haki penetrated them and caused internal damage before he hurled them into the sky!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the explosions rang out, the slaves were reborn into freedom!

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

One after another, they knelt before Ye Yu. Having regained their freedom, they wept with joy, kowtowing as they 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 this moment!

To regain freedom was no different from being reborn!

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

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

After Ye Yu left, several slaves bade one another 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!"

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

He turned to look at Ruth beside him, unable to calm his heart.

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

Bate wore a strange expression as he asked suspiciously. Even now, he 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 daze. Her expression was grave.

"That's right, Branch Chief Bate. The Celestial Dragon... the lofty Celestial Dragon, is dead! His blood is flowing everywhere!"

Only after receiving Ruth's confirmation did the middle-aged man finally believe that the Celestial Dragon lying on the ground had truly been killed!

Bate's face was full of shock as he 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 strike it rich this time!"

After leaving the auction house, Ye Yu and the others arrived at the shore where Ye Yu's warship had previously been moored.

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

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

Ye Yu smiled faintly and asked calmly. He had long since guessed Tyrant Bear's answer.

Tyrant Bear set down 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 research subject and willingly offered up his body for modification. Ye Yu greatly admired him.

After some thought, Ye Yu spoke again. "Bear, are you interested in dealing with the Marines together with me?"

A gust of wind swept past, making Tyrant Bear's clothes flutter. He seemed to be pondering something, and at last, his lips moved slightly.

Tyrant Bear was quite 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 more massive force behind the Marines!

Although Ye Yu was powerful, for the sake of the people of the entire world, Tyrant Bear still chose the path with greater odds of success, even if it required sacrifice!

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

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

"And I have one final piece of advice as a friend that I hope you will hear."

"Although you are powerful, the Celestial Dragons' forces are far more than just the Marines! You killed a Celestial Dragon, so you must 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 massive warship in an enormous bear-paw-shaped air bubble.

Bang!

With a loud sound, Ye Yu and the enormous warship vanished directly before Tyrant Bear.

Tyrant Bear alone remained, holding his Bible as he quietly watched 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, willing to give himself for the revolution!

After a long while, Tyrant Bear looked out at the turbulent sea, his eyes flickering as he slowly spoke in Ye Yu's direction.

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

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

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

After the great battle on the Sabaody Archipelago, silence descended. Local residents gradually emerged onto the streets.

When they saw the slain Celestial Dragon, they were completely stunned!

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

Their eyes widened as their mouths fell open.

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

Then, a rear admiral hurriedly placed a call to Marine Headquarters.
