The guards instantly became alert, raising their Fire Pistol in unison and aiming at the shadows.
They would not hesitate to open fire at the slightest sign of disturbance.
Golden Lion's expression darkened, and the floating pebbles quietly condensed behind him, as the power of the Float-Float Fruit was activated.
With just a word from Roy, he could instantly turn this group of Celestial Dragons and his guards into mincemeat.
The Red Count lowered his cane, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his red eyes.
The top-tier Observation Haki had already locked onto Saint Charlos's vital point; it would only take his life in an instant.
The dragon gently shook its head, signaling the Karasu not to act rashly.
The Revolutionary Army's principle is to avoid direct confrontation with the Celestial Dragons. This operation is solely for the purpose of rescuing slaves, and they must not allow themselves to suffer losses for the sake of small gains.
At the critical moment, Roy took a step forward.
Mental energy surged forth instantly.
Saint Charlos and the others only felt a blur before their eyes,
A member of the CP (Protagonist/Consortium) bowed slightly to him, performing the salute of a high-ranking World Government official, his tone extremely respectful.
"I apologize, Saint Charlos."
My subordinates are field agents from the World Government's intelligence department, currently on a covert patrol mission.
I have inadvertently disturbed your refined enjoyment; I am truly guilty and deserve to die!
Saint Charlos looked Roy and the others up and down.
Seeing that they were well-dressed and had impeccable manners, unlike ordinary pirates or slaves, he immediately lost interest and impatiently waved his cane.
"Get out! Don't get in my way! If you dare peek again, I'll have you enslaved too!"
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll get out of here right away!"
Roy bowed repeatedly, took a few steps back, turned around to signal everyone to follow, and quickly walked towards the other alleyway.
He didn't look up the entire time, and didn't even glance at Saint Charlos, demonstrating the utmost restraint.
Roy only withdrew his mental energy after Charloss left.
"Call..."
Fisher Tiger was panting heavily, his entire body already soaked in cold sweat.
He looked at Roy, his expression complex.
" Captain Roy, what was that just now...?"
"Just wishful thinking, some petty tricks!"
Roy patted him on the shoulder, his tone calm.
" Fisher Tiger, I know you're angry,"
"But anger solves nothing here."
What we need to do is to take all the enslaved people out in the safest way possible.
Let them truly gain freedom.
This is the greatest revenge against the Celestial Dragons.
The Golden Lion curled its lip and said arrogantly,
" Roy, you're being too cautious!"
If it were me, I'd just slap that piece of trash to death! Why waste so much breath?
"Enduring for a moment is for the sake of the whole."
The Red Count spoke calmly.
"There's no need to kill Celestial Dragons here, since we can't kill them all."
Our goal is slaves and treasure, not pointless slaughter.
Roy didn't say anything more, and once again activated his Telekinesis to thoroughly investigate Mary Geoise's defenses.
The Telekinesis penetrated the thick marble walls, passed through the dense vegetation, and covered the entire outer area of the sacred site.
Countless auras clearly surfaced in his mind: 12 CP0 sentries, distributed at various key intersections;
Three squadrons of Marine Vice Admiral admirals were stationed between the slave prison and the manor complex;
The aura of the Holy Knights lingered in the core palace, as steady as a mountain, like a sleeping beast;
Deep within the sacred land, a vast, cold, and lifeless aura quietly permeated the air, like an abyss.
The moment Roy's Telekinesis touched him, he felt a pang of fear and quickly withdrew it.
That was Imu's aura, a terrifying existence far surpassing that of Admiral, and a taboo that absolutely could not be touched during this operation.
"CP0 sentry post number 12, the location has been marked, we will bypass it;"
The 3rd naval detachment is distracted by the diversionary group's route and will not interfere with us for the time being.
The Holy Knights in the core area, showing no unusual activity.
"Never touch that aura deep within; avoid it the entire way."
Roy quickly reported the investigation results, his tone grave.
"Time is of the essence, let's split up and proceed according to the plan."
Remember, you only have one hour. Meet at the entrance of the secret passage, or evacuate on your own.
Everyone nodded, their eyes hardening.
"Liberation Group, follow me."
Fisher Tiger took a deep breath, suppressed all his emotions, and turned to run towards the slave prison on his left.
Hawk Eyes, Dragon, and Karasu followed closely behind, and the four of them vanished at the end of the alley in a flash.
"Control group, central square, commence operations!"
The Golden Lion grinned, its body rising into the air, carrying the Red Count towards the central area of Mary Geoise.
Floating architectural debris surrounded him, clearly ready to wreak havoc.
Dragon nodded slightly to Roy, then led Karasu into Fisher Tiger's group, taking charge of subsequent communication cutoffs and backup preparations.
"The looting team, follow me."
Roy waved, leading Bullet and Tesoro towards the core of the Celestial Dragons' mansion complex.
Rothschild Family mansion.
This house was one of the most luxurious and heavily guarded places in Mary Geoise.
It is also the area where the Celestial Dragons' treasure trove is most concentrated.
Meanwhile, above the clouds, Kaido's figure was hidden in the dark clouds.
The azure dragon's scales gleamed with a cold, eerie light under the moonlight, its enormous eyes surveying the entirety of Mary Geoise.
Waiting only for Roy's signal, they will swoop down and tear apart the defenses of this sacred land with the might of Beasts Pirates.
Three lines of action, proceeding simultaneously.
On the surface, Fisher Tiger's path to liberation carries the freedom and hope of thousands of slaves;
Secretly, Roy's raids were aimed at the Celestial Dragons' centuries-old treasures and wealth;
By creating chaos along the front lines, Golden Lion and Red Count instigated a massive conflict, protecting both the front and rear lines and tying down all of the World Government's military forces.
Beneath the barren soil, fangs have already been revealed.
Roy and his two companions pressed themselves against the outer wall of the Rothschild Family mansion. Telekinesis, they detected fifty guards stationed at the main gate and a CP0 sentry on each side.
The backyard was relatively poorly guarded, with only a dozen or so ordinary guards.
" Bullet, backyard, break down the wall by force, leave no survivors, and finish this quickly," Roy ordered in a low voice.
"Hahaha! Just what I wanted!"
Bullet grinned maliciously, white beast patterns emanating from his body, and he instantly transformed into White Tiger: Human-Beast Form.
The enormous tiger claw, imbued with Armament Haki, slammed violently towards the stone wall in the backyard.
Boom--!!!
With a deafening roar, the thick stone wall was shattered, sending debris flying everywhere.
The guards in the backyard were instantly blown away by the blast wave, and before they could even scream, they were knocked unconscious by Bullet's Haki.
"Go in!"
Roy flashed into the backyard of the mansion.
Tesoro followed closely behind, his body crackling with lightning, ready to collect the treasure at any moment.
The interior of the Rothschild Family mansion is extravagant to the extreme.
The walls were decorated with gold, the floors were inlaid with jewels, and the corridors were filled with expensive oil paintings.
The air was thick with the stench of money and decay. Roy didn't linger for a moment.
Using his Telekinesis, he locked onto the location of the underground treasure vault and rushed towards the stairwell.
Meanwhile, at the slave prison, Fisher Tiger, Hawk Eyes, and Karasu had arrived at the main gate.
The Seastone gate was tightly shut, covered with chains and shackles.
The two guards at the door were yawning, completely unaware that death was about to descend.
Fisher Tiger stood in front of the gate, gazing at the cage that had imprisoned him for several years.
The restraint in his eyes vanished completely, replaced by overwhelming anger and a roar for freedom.
