The remaining five CP0 members' expressions changed drastically as they forcefully withstood the pressure of Conqueror's Haki.
Without slowing down, it continued to rush towards the black mist.
"That's interesting."
A sharp glint flashed in Hawk Eyes's eyes as he slowly drew Black Blade Yoru.
The blade reflected the moonlight, gleaming with a cold, icy light.
But that's not enough.
He no longer held back, and in a flash, he appeared in front of the five CP0 members.
Black Blade Yoru swung his sword repeatedly, the extremely fast blade light forming an impenetrable net of blades that enveloped the five people.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A series of loud bangs, like metal colliding, echoed.
Five CP0 members fought back with all their might, but their weapons were instantly severed, and their bodies were struck by the blade's energy, causing blood to gush out.
They were sent flying backward one after another, crashing heavily to the ground and losing their ability to fight.
In just three moves, all five CP0 vanguard members were routed.
Hawk Eyes sheathed his sword, returned to the edge of the black mist, and continued his guard duty without the slightest slackening.
Inside the slave prison, Fisher Tiger had broken open all the cages.
Several thousand slaves assembled, lined up in neat rows, and led by a few young slaves, headed towards the evacuation route outside the black fog.
Fisher Tiger walked at the back of the group, checking for any missing slaves, his eyes scanning every corner to make sure no one was left behind.
Just then, a deafening roar suddenly came from the direction of the central square of Mary Geoise.
This was followed by the Golden Lion's arrogant, maniacal laughter.
The ground of the entire holy site began to tremble, and countless building fragments floated into the air, sweeping out like a tsunami.
The containment team has made its move.
The chaos caused by the Golden Lion and the Red Count in the central square instantly attracted the vast majority of the Holy Land's guards.
The garrison at the Marine Vice Admiral level, the main force of CP0, and the main force of the Celestial Dragons' guard all rushed towards the central square, no longer caring about the slave prison.
The pressure in the slave prison was instantly relieved.
Fisher Tiger felt relieved, knowing that the distraction team had played its role.
He looked up towards the central square, a flicker of gratitude in his eyes.
He then turned around and roared at the assembled slaves.
"Come! Follow me, leave this place! Go and pursue your freedom!"
Thousands of slaves responded in unison, following Fisher Tiger as he burst out of the black mist and headed toward the planned evacuation route.
Hawk Eyes and Karasu brought up the rear, clearing out any remaining guards and ensuring the safety of the slave caravan.
A torrent of freedom surged forth from the slave prisons, rushing toward the secret passages of the Red Line.
At that moment, the alarm from the slave prison finally broke through the Karasu ' communication interference and reached the core area of Mary Geoise.
Beep--beep--beep--!!!
The piercing sirens blared throughout the holy land, and red alarm lights illuminated every building and every street, turning the night sky blood-red.
The Celestial Dragons screamed in terror from inside the mansion, scrambling to hide in the underground air-raid shelter.
The members of the Holy Knights stationed in the core area instantly stood up, their domineering Haki radiating outwards, and looked in the direction where the alarm had sounded.
World Government officials panicked and fled in all directions.
The entire Mary Geoise, from a false tranquility, instantly plunged into extreme chaos and panic.
"Slaves have rioted! The Holy Land has been attacked!"
"All CP0 personnel deployed! Seal off all exits!"
"Protect the Celestial Dragons! We must not let the slaves escape!"
The roars, alarms, footsteps, and screams mingled together, creating a chaotic symphony.
All of this was within Roy's expectations.
The chaos in Mary Geoise provided the perfect cover for the raiding party.
In front of the underground vault of the Rothschild Family mansion, Bullet transformed into White Tiger Model and smashed the alloy door of the vault with a single claw.
The deafening roar was masked by the external alarms and went unnoticed.
Roy and Tesoro rushed into the vault.
When Tesoro, who was used to seeing wealth, saw the scene inside the treasure vault, even he was astonished.
He couldn't help but gasp, his eyes shining.
The lightning crackled and crackled excitedly from all over his body.
This underground treasure vault is like a giant palace.
Gold was piled up like small mountains, and jewels, diamonds, and agates covered the ground.
Valuable antiques and works of art are neatly displayed on the shelves.
In the crystal cabinet at the very center of the treasure vault, five Devil Fruit emitting strange fluctuations, were displayed quietly, their light swirling around them.
Roy's gaze swept over the Devil Fruit, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
The treasures that the Celestial Dragons plundered over a century, today, are all mine.
The Rothschild Family's underground vault is one of the most secretive and luxurious treasure troves in Mary Geoise.
After generations of Celestial Dragons plundered and gathered rare and exotic treasures from all over the world, they were now all displayed before Roy and his companions.
Artificial mountains and fountains made of gold occupy nearly half of the treasury space, and every gold brick is polished smooth and shiny, gleaming brightly under the illumination of the luminous pearl.
Jewelry chests were piled up like mountains. When the chests were opened, diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and pearls poured out, covering the marble floor and making a crisp clinking sound when stepped on.
Exquisite antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and weapons are neatly displayed on sandalwood shelves, each piece priceless.
In the center of the treasure vault, a crystal display case reinforced with Armament Haki held five Devil Fruit with a distinct aura and powerful fluctuations, clearly indicating they were all rare varieties.
"Oh My God..."
Tesoro was completely stunned, his eyes wide open.
His golden pupils reflected the wealth filling the room, and the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's electric arcs crackled uncontrollably across his body. He was so excited that he became somewhat incoherent.
"Boss! This is way too much!"
Gold! All gold! And Devil Fruit! Several of them!
Bullet transformed into White Tiger Model, his massive claws slamming onto the pile of gold bricks with a dull thud.
He grinned maliciously.
"Hahaha! Those Celestial Dragons are indeed hiding a lot of good stuff!"
These treasures are perfect for building our fleet and training our soldiers!
Roy stood in the center of the vault, his Telekinesis Fruit fully deployed, probing every corner of the vault to confirm there were no sentries, no traps, and no Seastone restrictions.
He spoke calmly.
Don't waste your time.
" Tesoro, prioritize getting the Devil Fruit and the Famous Sword."
We'll collect the gold and jewelry later.
Twenty minutes have already passed within the one-hour time limit.
"Understood, boss!"
Tesoro snapped back to reality and suppressed his excitement.
He unleashed the full power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, golden arcs of electricity crackling around his hands.
Two invisible suction forces were formed, causing them to fly towards the central crystal display case.
The instant the electric arc touched the display case, the reinforced Armament Haki barrier was pierced by the lightning, and the crystal display case shattered with a deafening roar.
Tesoro reached out and grabbed the five Devil Fruit were enveloped in lightning and landed steadily in his hand.
He carefully placed the fruit into the storage bag.
