Fish-Man Climbing the Sheer Cliff

A massive search operation, orchestrated by the Celestial Dragons, unfolded around Mariejois and throughout the Sabaody Archipelago.

However, the escaped slave seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace not only in the Sabaody Archipelago but also in the vicinity.

"Damn it, did that guy just vanish into thin air?"

"That slave's physical features are so distinctive, he couldn't have just disappeared. He must be hiding somewhere. Search him quickly, or we'll be in big trouble if the Celestial Dragons find out!"

Unnoticed by anyone, beneath the search ship, a crimson tiger-fish mermaid with a headscarf and thick curly hair, his eyes blazing with fury, quietly swam towards the Mermaid Kingdom ten thousand meters below Mariejois.

Soon, the turmoil caused by the escape of slaves gradually subsided, but an even bigger turmoil was brewing in the shadows.

The sky was a clear, deep blue, and a lone Island Cloud drifted toward the center of the New World.

"Ha... ha... ha... I'm so tired, big brother, when can we finally rest..."

Yamato lay listlessly on the cloud, the Seastone collar and gravity ring on his body overlapping, almost completely draining his last bit of strength.

"Once you master the advanced uses of Armament Haki, and Ryuo, you can try to destroy the Seastone collar yourself. Good luck!"

After giving a perfunctory reply, Huayue turned her head Hiyori.

"The Shadow Clone Technique: Chou, Xu, Chen, Zi, Xu, Hai, Si, Yin!"

Amidst the swirling White Mist, the three Hiyori and Roku looked at each other with delighted expressions.

"That's great! They did it! Yamato, they did it!"

"Wow, that's amazing! It's a ninja's clone! I'm so envious! Big brother, I want to learn that too! I want to learn that too!"

The fully recovered Yamato kept making a ruckus, his eyes filled with longing for the Shadow Clone Technique.

"It's a success! So, the method the Sage of Six Paths taught about chakra is just like this... It's not difficult at all. Perhaps we can consider integrating it into the Silent Blood Armor, and also incorporating the Haki of this world along with it..."

"I'll teach you in a few days. First, focus on mastering your Haki. The same goes for you, Hiyori."

Ignoring the commotion between Yamato and Hiyori, Huayue was already contemplating what module to use to contain the three types of Haki and how to popularize them to the public.

"Big brother! Big brother!"

Just two minutes after things quieted down, Yamato started barking again, waking Huayue from her reverie.

"What's wrong now?"

"Big brother, look! There's a strange guy climbing a cliff down there. He's amazing! It must be at least ten thousand meters high!"

Hearing this, Huayue looked up and gazed into the distance, only to discover a crimson fish-man carrying a rocket launcher and gun ammunition, crawling towards the top of Mariejois, the Celestial Dragons ' abode.

"Oh? It really is. This merman seems to be heading to Mariejois to visit a friend. Is he also going there to catch up with someone?"

With a chuckle, Huayue returned to the sun lounger and urged him on with a smile.

"Zeus, come closer."

"Yes... Master!"

Wearing an airplane helmet and looking limp, Zeus flew towards Mariejois and arrived at the side of the red fishman in an instant.

"Hey, you must have had a hard time climbing, right? If you want to go to Mariejois, come on up, I'll give you a ride."

At this moment, the red fishman turned around and looked on with great surprise.

This is 5,000 meters above the ground. Who can float freely on the clouds? And why does this cloud have a child's face?

The fishman was filled with too many questions and didn't know what to do. After a moment of silence, he silently jumped onto the cloud.

"Thank you. What do you want to do in Mariejois?"

Unable to suppress his doubts, he asked the question, Yamato next to him, took the opportunity to jump up, put his hands on his hips and laugh loudly.

"Hahahaha, of course we're going to settle accounts with the Celestial Dragons! How dare they provoke our big brother, and then run away halfway when they couldn't win! What a bunch of spineless bastards!"

Yamato spoke indignantly, Hiyori nodded in agreement.

The fish-man was stunned. He thought it was outrageous enough that he had climbed up Mariejois alone to attack the Celestial Dragons, but he didn't expect there to be a master among them!

"Uncle Merman, you're amazing to be able to climb that high all by yourself!"

Faced with Yamato, who showed no fear of him but instead had his eyes shining, the Crimson Fishman was momentarily bewildered.

"This is nothing. Fishmen's arm strength is more than ten times that of normal humans. What's really strange is your cloud. I've never seen a talking cloud before."

"That's right, that's right! I told you Zeus was amazing. Even though he initially opposed his elder brother, he became quite sensible after getting beaten up a few times!"

In an instant, the red fishman froze on the spot, and Zeus couldn't help but shiver, as if recalling a nightmare from his memory.

"That's not something a child should say. What's your name?"

"The Crimson Fishman asked."

"My name is Yamato, and the one with the blue glass-like hair is Hiyori. Big brother is big brother, and what's your name, uncle?"

"Tiger, Fisher Tiger, Yamato, you'd better leave Mariejois as soon as possible. The God's Town, where those Celestial Dragons live, is about to descend into chaos."

Fisher Tiger looked serious, then turned his gaze to Uchiha Huayue on the sun lounger.

"You are their eldest brother. For the sake of the children, the upcoming battle is not something that children can take seriously. Once you arrive in Mariejois, leave as soon as possible."

After saying that, Fisher Tiger gave the three of them a deep look. They didn't have Celestial Dragons ' clothes, nor were they wearing Bubble Shield, so they probably weren't Celestial Dragons.

"That won't do..."

Taking off her sunglasses, Huayue shook her head slightly, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes.

"Since we've come all this way, we should at least make sure we get everything I need to know and collect all the necessary specimens. Do whatever you want, as long as it doesn't affect their safety."

Seeing the other party's resolute attitude, Fisher Tiger's eyes turned cold as he took the rocket launcher from his back and pointed it at the front of him.

"This is the first time I've encountered humans who don't discriminate against merfolk, so even if it's a threat, I'm making you leave. Don't go to Mariejois; a riot is about to break out, and if you get caught in the crossfire..."

"No, it's too late, Mariejois has already arrived!"

Upon hearing this, Fisher Tiger's pupils contracted, and he quickly turned around to look.

The lush grass and beautiful scenery, along with the elegant architecture, made it seem like a paradise, but the hidden darkness there made him nauseous.

Returning to the place that had tormented him for three years, Fisher Tiger roared to the sky, his entire being enraged.

"Mariejois, I'm going to liberate all the slaves! If you've got the guts, try and stop me!"

The next moment, the World Government officials who had been drawn by the howl froze, pointing shakily behind Tiger.

"The Four... the Four Emperors! The Four Emperors!!!"
