The God of War Subdued the Seas and Awed All Nations, the Scholar-General Burned Their Nest and Shocked the Celestial Dragons! (Part Four)
Over the next half day, Zhou Yu led the Empire's fleet in sweeping through every Human Auction House in the Sabaody Archipelago, rescuing hundreds of trafficked civilians of various races, shutting down every auction house, and arresting all the slave traders and auction house owners who had committed countless atrocities.
Everywhere he went, members of those oppressed races knelt and bowed in thanks, shouting, "Long live the Hua Empire!" and "Long live His Majesty Chen Yu!"
Countless Longarm Tribe, Longleg Tribe, and Snake-Neck Tribe civilians who had endured discrimination and oppression from the World Government all their lives experienced equal treatment for the first time at that moment, and for the first time saw hope of survival.
Meanwhile, news of Zhou Yu wreaking havoc in the Sabaody Archipelago, shutting down auction houses, and kidnapping Celestial Dragons swept across the entire Grand Line like a hurricane, reaching the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and Marine Headquarters at New Marineford.
The Five Elders' meeting room, in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
The instant the news arrived, the entire meeting room erupted in unprecedented fury.
"Rebellion!! This is outright rebellion!!"
Bald Five Elders shattered the solid wooden conference table before him with a slap, his bloodshot eyes brimming with murderous intent. "Zhou Yu!! A mere Navy Commander-in-Chief of the Hua Empire dared to storm the Sabaody Archipelago, shut down the World Government's auction houses, and even kidnap Celestial Dragons?! He's openly defying the World Government's authority!! He's slapping all of us in the face!!"
"We must kill him!! We must raze the Hua Empire!!" Sword-Wielding Five Elders gripped First Generation Kitetsu, its blade humming wildly. "Send the order immediately! Have Kizaru lead all the Marine elite to the Sabaody Archipelago, rescue the Celestial Dragons, and kill Zhou Yu!! Deploy the Holy Knights!!
