We're Leaving
Several CP0 agents leaped off the cliff to intercept him, Tiger anticipated this. He turned and threw the Saint Ni he was holding against the cliff face. The CP0 agents were able to fly through the air and use Geppo to save the Saint Ni. One of the CP0 agents kicked Tiger in the chest, causing blood to splatter everywhere as he fell to the ground.
Tiger let out a scream and fell into the dark abyss.
By the time the Saint Ni were rescued, Tiger had already disappeared into a sea of clouds.
"At that height, and with Rankyaku kicking him in the center, he's seriously injured. Even Fish-Man would die." The CP0 members, holding onto the Saint Ni like monkeys, clung to the cliff face, abandoning their pursuit. The Saint Ni were riddled with fractures and needed immediate medical attention.
This time, the World Government's medical team demonstrated their capabilities, quickly stabilizing the life of the Saint Ni. However, it will take some time for them to wake up, as Saint Ni haven't undergone any physical training, and their injuries will likely keep them in bed for a while after they wake up.
However, Tiger did not die.
More than a thousand meters below the cliffs of the Red Line, a huge cave has been dug out.
Tiger fell precisely from the cave entrance, and immediately a long, emerald-green hair transformed into an eight-headed python, surging like a green wave, which snapped into Tiger in the blink of an eye.
"Whoa!" Sandersonia's snake hair wrapped around Tiger, trying to drag him into the cave, but Tiger had completely lost consciousness, and the huge impact almost pulled her out as well.
Fortunately, at that moment, Marigold swung her tail and, with the immense power of the Snake-Snake Fruit, managed to grab Tiger's tall body and pull him inside.
"Dead?" Miming was very surprised.
"No, he lost too much blood and passed out." Sandersonia simply stuck out his forked tongue and sniffed, and he could roughly understand his opponent's condition. With the enhanced heat-sensing ability of the Snake-Snake Fruit, his tongue was strong enough to sense opponents hundreds of meters away and their specific physical condition, so accurately catching Tiger in the dark was a piece of cake...
Hancock skillfully grabbed Tiger's slave collar, snapped it in two, and threw it out of the cave. The collar didn't explode; it fell silently into the sea of clouds because the detonator inside had been secretly sabotaged beforehand.
"That was a kick from Rankyaku, he's badly injured. Tsk tsk." Miming was shocked by CP0's strength. To be able to take charge of Saint Ni ' security, even if his strength is not as good as Cairns', he must be ranked among the top twenty experts in the CP organization.
"Bandage his wound, let's go!"
Miming and the Boa Sisters quickly disappeared. Climbing a thousand-meter-high mountain wall was a piece of cake for them now; they had dug this cave themselves.
Before Tiger escaped, Miming had described the escape route to him very clearly. Given the Fish-Man's advantage, as long as they escaped into the large lake by the roadside, they could hide until nightfall. At night, following the route into the wilderness, they could find a News Tree with tire tracks left by an air vehicle under it. Just run straight along the tracks, jump off a large rock on the cliff, and there would be a hole where Izo their breath—a hole invisible from above.
Although Tiger's escape only happened in a single day, Miming had spent a year preparing for it, from figuring out the route to preparing every single detail.
When Tiger woke up, he found himself indeed rescued. There was some food and climbing tools left for him in the cave.
Tiger recalled the conversation he had with the Miming that had suddenly appeared late at night a few days ago.
"On your way down, you must dig your footholds beforehand. Because a year later, you will climb back up from this spot and set fire to Mary Geoise. All the slaves will escape Mary Geoise in this magnificent display of fire."
Tiger remembered refusing. "I didn't say yes!"
"You cannot refuse," Miming's voice was like that of a deity, "Because this is your destiny--!"
"You'll regret this! Hehehe!" Tiger shouted at the other person's back.
However, that morning, as Tiger was carrying Saint Ni on his back like a dog, lying on the street, he suddenly saw the beautiful lake and discovered that, as the other party had said, there were no guards nearby. Before he could even think things through, he began to act.
Now he lies in a cliff cave at an altitude of seven thousand meters, feeling no joy at escaping, only fear.
Like Tiger, there were others who couldn't understand it either. The Revolutionary Army was being relentlessly hunted down by the World Government, regardless of the cost.
A mysterious phone call delivered a very strange message to Dragon, the commander of the Revolutionary Army.
"Precognition?" Dragon was stunned by the news from his government informant. "Burning Mary Geoise, freeing the slaves? No, no, we never had that plan."
Such a crazy plan is tantamount to suicide.
"But the Gorosei are very certain that the Revolutionary Army will do this in a year. What's even more interesting is that I suddenly feel that it's not impossible," the voice on the Den Den Mushi said excitedly.
"Why?"
"I have a feeling that someone deliberately orchestrated this event and steered things in this direction. Because the military's plan is that once the Holy Land suddenly catches fire, all CP0 members will prioritize protecting the Celestial Dragons and escort them into Pangaea Castle as soon as possible."
"Oh?" Dragon realized the enormous opportunity this presented. At this time, no one would stop the slaves from escaping. The focus of defense was protecting the Celestial Dragons and Pangaea Castle; even if someone set fires all over Mary Geoise, they wouldn't go to the rescue for the time being.
"As for the navy, I believe there are a few guys who would deliberately let the slaves escape."
"Garp?"
"It's not just Garp, is it?" the voice on the Den Den Mushi said. "If the Revolutionary Army's ships disguise themselves as the Heavenly Tribute Ships and hide in the port to pick up people, I'll pretend I didn't see them and take advantage of the chaos to evacuate the civilians. I believe those brats below are doing the same. I can arrange several safe routes."
"However, the key is how to organize everyone's escape. There are thousands of slaves, and they'll be scattered in all directions in the chaos, making them very difficult to guide. The escape route from Mary Geoise is very long! We need someone to infiltrate Mary Geoise beforehand. In addition, we need to consider arranging some skilled individuals. It's very risky, but I think there's a chance! If we succeed, our influence will increase significantly."
"This kind of thing couldn't possibly be orchestrated without someone behind it. You've sent over the detailed information; there must be some information we can glean." A ruthless expression appeared on the face of the Revolutionary Army leader, Dragon. "I have a better way to infiltrate Mary Geoise and send the slaves to safety. It doesn't require you to do anything, and it's safer. What we need to do now is find the true mastermind behind this great escape plan and understand their intentions."
The past six months have been a brutal pursuit by the World Government, forcing several branches to evacuate. Since the World Government is so convinced this will happen, let's just make it a reality! Otherwise, wouldn't we be taking the blame for nothing?
The risks are huge, but if successful, the Revolutionary Army will have a foothold in the world!
