Chapter 13: The Secret of Sabaody: The Dark Truth behind the Celestial Dragons

The Straw Hat Pirates arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, a group of islands known for being a hub for human trafficking and slave trading. However, they soon discovered that the danger they faced was far greater than they had anticipated.

As they were walking through the city, they witnessed the brutal treatment of a fishman slave at the hands of a group of humans. This led them to a confrontation with a group of slave traders, which quickly turned into a full-blown battle. During the fight, they met a man named Fisher Tiger, who was a former slave and leader of a revolutionary army called the Sun Pirates.

Fisher Tiger revealed to the Straw Hats the dark truth about the Celestial Dragons, the ruling class of the world government, and their horrific treatment of fishmen and other non-human races. He explained that the Celestial Dragons believed themselves to be superior to all other races and had enslaved countless individuals throughout history, treating them as nothing more than objects.

The Straw Hats soon found themselves caught up in the middle of a conflict between the Sun Pirates and the world government. They learned that the Celestial Dragons were planning to hold a human auction, where they would sell off slaves from all over the world, including mermaids and fishmen.

Desperate to put a stop to the auction and free the slaves, the Straw Hats teamed up with Fisher Tiger and his revolutionaries to launch an attack on the Celestial Dragons. In the ensuing chaos, they managed to rescue the slaves and disrupt the auction, but not without attracting the attention of the world government.

The Straw Hats quickly realized that they were in over their heads and that they needed to flee the island before they were captured by the Marines. However, before they could make their escape, they were confronted by Bartholomew Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and a powerful agent of the world government.

Kuma offered the Straw Hats a deal: in exchange for sparing their lives, he would send each of them to separate locations around the world. The Straw Hats had no choice but to accept, and they were promptly teleported away by Kuma's mysterious powers.

As they were separated and sent to different parts of the world, the Straw Hats were left wondering what would become of them and whether they would ever be able to reunite again. The dark truth about the Celestial Dragons had shaken them to their core, and they knew that they had only scratched the surface of the world government's dark secrets.
