One Piece: The Celestial Dragons' Self-Cultivation

Page 87

The rumbling sounds echoed throughout the manor, and each collision between the two sent up a flurry of petals.

However, none of the three had the time to appreciate the beautiful scene; their attention was entirely focused on each other.

Kera suddenly flew into the sky, radiating a dazzling light.

She gathered all the light in her body and concentrated it into a single point in her fist, then charged straight toward the ground.

"Holy Light Judgment!"

Rayleigh narrowed his eyes and swung his sword towards the sky:

The collision of the two attacks caused the ground of the manor to collapse several meters downwards.

Centered on Raleigh, a region resembling a meteorite crater was formed.

The mushroom cloud generated by the impact shot straight into the sky.

However, it was drowned out by the firelight and explosions from other directions, making it seem so insignificant.

Amidst the smoke and dust, Rayleigh's Observation Haki suddenly activated, and he was greatly alarmed. He tried to sheathe his sword to defend himself, but it was already too late.

The withered wood had pierced his abdomen, and the chill began to spread along the blade of the sword throughout his body.

"What a thrilling adventure... Roger..."

"Looks like I'll have to break my promise again... Shakky..."

Rayleigh let out a soft sigh, reminiscing about the countless adventures of his youth.

Moments later, his body was frozen solid, and his blood also froze.

Blake leaped into the air, flapping his wings and disappearing from his spot in an instant, catching Kelra as she was thrown away.

Rayleigh's final blow was not so easy to catch; the bones in Koala's right arm were now completely shattered.

Once Mandy was frozen solid, she ignored everything else and collapsed to the ground, only to be caught by Blake, who was carrying Kella back.

Her injuries were more serious than Kerla's.

His arm was dislocated, he had sword wounds, and his internal organs were also damaged.

Blake picked them up, one in each arm, and called out:

"Get him to the infirmary immediately!"

He looked down at the two of them again and smiled:

"You did a great job. Now just focus on recovering."

After settling Mandy and Kella in, Blake looked at Ginny with a half-smile:

"Are you disappointed?"

Seeing that her plan had been completely exposed, Ginny lost her obedient demeanor in front of Blake.

She glared at Blake, her face full of hatred:

"Was all of this your conspiracy? What exactly do you intend to do to the Revolutionary Army?"

"I'm trying to help you!"

Blake looked surprised and gave Ginny a strange look:

"Was any information I gave you false?"

"Did Garin and Christopher get into a fight?"

"Is the Knights of God being held back?"

"Is Fisher Tiger causing chaos in Mary Geoise?"

After thinking about it carefully, Ginny realized that it was indeed true. Could this guy actually be a good person?

She immediately shook her head.

How could Blake be a good person? There's no one more insidious than him!

This guy deliberately leaked information to the Revolutionary Army; he must have some other ulterior motive.

Before Ginny could figure it out, Blake waved his hand:

"Forget it, none of this matters."

"I think it's too monotonous to have only one member of the Revolutionary Army in the manor."

"So I've decided to find you a companion!"

After saying this, Blake felt a sense of familiarity.

Upon closer reflection, I realized that I had promised to find a companion for the mermaid Ida.

However, merfolk slaves are extremely rare, and a suitable one has not been found in all these years.

After this, we need to search carefully. If all else fails, we should capture Queen Otohime, who has already evolved two legs.

Just as Blake was lost in thought, Ginny rushed up to him and grabbed his arm tightly:

"No! You can't attack the Revolutionary Army!"

What do you mean, "find her a companion"? They clearly just want to capture another revolutionary soldier, yet they manage to make it sound so refined and elegant.

Ginny said she had never seen such a shameless person.

But Blake didn't care what she thought. He slowly and gently pried her hands open, pulled her into his arms, and called out to Stella:

"Come, open a door for me, let's go to Red Harbor."

Chapter 114 Don’t make trouble

The battle at Red Harbor is over.

The purpose of Jinping and the others coming here was to guide the slaves who had been freed by Tiger away from here.

Red Harbor already had many naval warships docked there, as well as ships prepared by the revolutionary army, and now the slaves had been mostly transported away.

Amidst the muffled thud of the ship's side hitting the dock, Jinbe's broad, blue hand caressed the helm.

Aron was directing the fishmen to bring the last batch of slaves onto the deck, his jagged nose gleaming coldly in the moonlight.

He kicked the wooden box hard:

Why should we save these humans?

"Alright, Ah Long."

Jinbe's voice was as deep and resonant as the undercurrents of the deep sea:

"This is Tiger's idea; slaves have no racial distinctions."

Ah Long muttered something under his breath, but it was blown away by the sea breeze.

Jinbe had no intention of arguing with Arlong, and turned to look at Bello Beatty not far away.

The latter had one shoulder slumped, the bloodstains on it beginning to congeal, and traces of blood wiping remained at the corner of his mouth.

Are you really not coming with us?

Tiger frowned, and three vertical lines appeared between his brows.

“Your injuries are serious. Mary Geoise is a furnace right now…”

"That's why I'm needed to add fuel to the fire!"

Bello Betty, seemingly oblivious to the pain, lifted the water bottle with her uninjured hand, her hair brushing against the scab on her lip.

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."

"Moreover, my Devil Fruit ability can provide great assistance on the battlefield."

As soon as she finished speaking, Betty planted the encouragement flag into the crack in the dock, and a crimson halo spread out like ripples.

The slaves on the deck, who were originally injured, suddenly found that their wounds no longer burned, and they seemed to have inexhaustible strength.

"move."

Betty waved her hand:

"Your captain might be back anytime, aren't you going to meet him?"

Jinbe nodded solemnly, rummaged through his clothes, and tossed a seashell with rough carvings typical of fish-men to Betty:

"I will always remember the experience of fighting side by side today."

After saying that, Jinbe began to direct the crew to leave the dock.

In their original plan, there was no revolutionary army.

Fisher Tiger, as the source of all the chaos, would find it difficult to leave via the elevator.

Moreover, if he and the slaves take the same route, the pursuing guards will surely go all out.

So he decided to climb down from the Red Earth, while simultaneously drawing away a large portion of the guards, thus creating an opportunity for the slaves to escape.

The plan has now been completely disrupted, but Jinbe and his group have no way to contact Tiger, so they can only go to the agreed location and wait.

As the silhouette of the Sun Pirates' ship faded into a black dot on the horizon, all the slaves left Red Harbor.

Betty wrapped an enormous bandage around her shoulder before collapsing amidst the ruins.

She was no match for the admiral and suffered many injuries.

She needed to recover her strength as soon as possible and head to Mary Geoise to support the others.

Just then, a creaking sound came from beside Betty.

She turned her head and looked over, her eyes widening instantly.

An invisible door appeared out of thin air, and Blake, with Ginny in his arms and Stella behind them, walked out of the door.

"Sister Ginny!"

Betty struggled to her feet and looked warily at Blake.

Ginny was equally shocked; she hadn't expected that Blake's "finding a companion" was actually Betty.

Judging from their current appearance, they have clearly been through a brutal battle.

In just a moment, Ginny reacted and shouted loudly at Betty:

"Run! Betty, run!"

Although she was unsure of Blake's abilities, she was very clear about his personality.

If he wasn't absolutely certain, Blake would never have appeared before Betty without any guards.

Furthermore, with Betty clearly injured, the odds of winning are almost nonexistent.

Good evening, Miss Bello Betty.

Blake seemed completely unfazed by Ginny's warning, merely tightening his grip on her arm slightly.

"I hope my slave has not disturbed you."

Seeing Ginny's trembling body, Betty instantly recalled the voice she had heard on the Den Den Mushi that day:

"It's you?! Hilbert Black!"

"You should call me Saint Black."

Blake corrected him, then laughed:

"It's really reassuring to see that your injuries aren't serious."

Stop pretending!

Betty grabbed the battle flag from the side:

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"nothing."

Blake shrugged:

"I just want to see just how far you can go."

"It seems that Long and his team have done a good job. I hope his plan will go even more smoothly."
