Chapter 138 You Are Free

[The sky is still bright and the steam in Sabaody is quite heavy. Even the huge mangrove trees look a little wet. ]

[The warm sunshine falls from the sky, through the huge canopy of the mangrove tree, and reflects some light and shadow on the ground. ]

[Stepping on this light and shadow does not give people a refreshing feeling, but because of the soap bubbles, it gives people a sticky feeling. ]

[The colorful soap bubbles were rising slowly in the morning light, but in mid-air, they shattered instantly. ]

[The sharp wind, like a sharp blade, instantly chopped up the soap bubbles in the air. At the same time, it also killed the guards of the slave market not far away who had raised their weapons. ]

["boom."]

[Blood splashed and the moment the guard fell to the ground, the spear in his hand also burst into flames. ]

[The ear-piercing gunfire instantly broke the tranquility of the early morning. ]

["According to the previous plan, block all exits of the slave trading market, then deal with the slave traders, and release the slaves in an orderly manner." The cloak was pulled off, and Dragon said calmly with a fierce expression on his face. ]

[Slaves in Sabaody cannot be released in droves, as that can easily cause great chaos. ]

[After all, according to the investigation of the Revolutionary Army, there are many powerful special races and pirates among these slaves. ]

[Mary Geoise aside, at least the revolutionary army is able to control the situation here in Sabaody. ]

[What is more calm than Dragon's tone is the army behind him. ]

[This elite army selected from the revolutionary army is silent and orderly, giving people an indescribable sense of strength. ]

[They were armed with advanced weapons developed by Vegapunk, each with sharp eyes, and quickly entered the slave trading market. ]

[A small team of ten people, under the leadership of their respective captains, solved the guards at the slave trading market while rescuing the slaves. ]

[The combat effectiveness of the slave traders in Sabaody is not weak, but when they really encounter the elite soldiers of the revolutionary army, they can basically be said to be defeated at the first touch. ]

[These elite members of the revolutionary army were selected from veterans of the Kingdom of Lvneel and the Kingdom of Goa. ]

[Some of them had received training from Fujitora in East Blue, and they had defeated many pirate groups along with them. Later, they crossed the sea and participated in continuous wars. They have rich combat experience and extraordinary combat power.]

[Some are workers from the Lvneel Kingdom. After many uprisings, they later joined the revolutionary army and were trained. They are also not weak in strength. ]

[Not to mention these elites, after following Roja on the Grand Line voyage for several months, they have undergone another transformation, equipped with advanced weapons developed by Vegapunk. ]

[These slave traders are not pirates with a bounty of tens of millions. The gap is not that big. ]

[Of course, the current situation is also because the truly powerful one has not yet emerged. ]

[Dragon followed the revolutionary army and entered the slave market. His Observation Haki had already spread. ]

[In terms of strength, the Revolutionary Army is not as good as Naval Headquarters, not as good as Mary Geoise, not as good as the Legendary Pirates, but it is more than enough to handle a Sabaody Archipelago. ]

[In the distance, a strong man with a strong aura roared. ]

[The next moment, the sky was covered with dark clouds, a strong wind passed by, and the strong man lay on the ground with blood spurting out from his body. ]

["First."]

[Dragon stepped past him, put his hands in his pockets, with a cold expression on his face, not even looking at the strong man on the ground. ]

["It's so weak."]

[The thin Naguri carried his sledgehammer, but he did not use the sledgehammer. He just held the hammer in one hand and the pipe in the other, and gently touched the neck of a strong human trafficker. At one point, he collapsed directly to the ground. ]

[Not far away, a group of gun-wielding human traffickers are heading here along the avenue]

[Naguri was just about to take action, but his long eyebrows raised, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he stopped his movements. ]

[boom. ]

[A huge green blade wave struck from the entrance of the slave market, and a green light flashed past. ]

[In an instant, the entire avenue was filled with smoke and dust, and the trafficker guards fell from the sky like leaves. ]

["You're still here, kid." Naguri said with a smile. ]

["I just find it interesting." At the entrance of the slave market, Hawkeye was holding a big black Blade and looked at Naguri with his sharp eyes, slightly surprised. ]

["Unexpectedly, you are actually from revolutionary army?"]

[How could Hawkeye not know that the Revolutionary Army, in today's sea, after the Flavance incident and the huge bounty of nearly 10 billion, the Revolutionary Army is basically on the verge of catching up with legendary pirates like Roger and Whitebeard. ]

[However, compared to these legendary pirate groups, the Revolutionary Army is undoubtedly more mysterious because it has been established for the shortest time. ]

[Hawkeye did not expect that he would meet the revolutionary army in Sabaody, the place closest to the highest power center in the world. ]

[Furthermore, Naguri, as well as the commotion in other places that he could faintly sense, it seems that the revolutionary army appearing here at this moment is not a detachment, but the main force. ]

[The organization that slapped the World Government in the face several times actually appeared in Sabaody to liberate the slaves. It is really confusing. ]

[As arrogant and arrogant as Hawkeye is, he can't help but admire the courage, or in other words, madness, of this group of people. ]

["Are you interested in joining the revolutionary army? Kid." Naguri looked at Hawkeye and said. ]

[His eyes are full of admiration and affection, and unlike Rosinante, Naguri likes Rosinante's kindness and treats him as his own grandson. ]

[Facing the extremely young Hawkeye, he admired the opponent's talent and potential extremely, and wanted to recruit such a good prospect for the revolutionary army who was destined to become a strong man. ]

["Not interested." Hawkeye's eyes were sharp and his expression was calm. ]

[Although he is young, his aloof character has been fully demonstrated. ]

[But even though he refused, Hawkeye did not leave in a hurry, but stay behind Naguri, not knowing what he was thinking. ]

["Hip-hop." With a wink, a huge shock wave sent a large number of guards into the sky. ]

[Ivankov is stuck in his waist. Although he looks extremely unreliable, to be honest, Ivankov is still very reliable and leads the team to handle things very well. ]

["Don't stare at Mori like that." Mori raised the harpoon and lifted up a piece of hard ground covered with floor tiles like jelly; "I am shy." ]

[The huge ground was pushed out by Mori like a fluid. The powerful Armament Haki attached to it directly seriously injured several strong human traffickers in charge. ]

["This monster." The trafficker guard, looking at Mori's huge body, trembled all over, and the spear in his hand fell to the ground. ]

["Hey hey hey hey." After the breakthrough provoked by Mori, she only showed a big face and let out a lunatic laugh. ]

[To be honest, this scene not only scared the traffickers who were seriously injured, but even the slaves who were imprisoned in the iron cages shrank back in fear.]

[" Frozen Capsule." One hand was put into his pocket, and the other hand was just waved out casually, and the cold wind froze several approaching figures into ice cubes. ]

["It's Marine Vice Admiral Kuzan. Why would Marines take action against us? We are a legal industry protected by the World government." Looking at the ice not far away, a human trafficker guard shouted in fear. ]

["Legal?" Aokiji lowered his head slightly, and his black sunglasses seemed to turn into shadows on his eyes. His voice was raised and filled with anger: "I don't remember that "human trafficking gatherings are legal."]

[call. ]

[The cold wind seems to have temporarily blocked the warm climate of Sabaody Archipelago, making the season enter the harsh winter moment. ]

[Aokiji's figure crossed the crowd in an instant, and the huge white ice and snow storm behind him froze all the traffickers into ice sculptures. ]

["As for the protection of the World government? What does that have to do with me? My justice is not bound by the World government."]

[ Aokiji pushed up the black sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly. ]

[He is very clear that after this battle, he will completely stand on the opposite side of the world government, and it will be irreversible. ]

[He joined the Revolutionary Army on Flevance. There are very few people who know that he joined the Revolutionary Army, and Marine will not take the initiative to mention this matter. ]

[But this time is different. After this his bounty will be released soon. ]

[From a rising Marine star with unlimited glory and an unlimited future, he became a rebel in the revolutionary army. He has been hiding in revolutionary since then, with no future at all. ]

[But it doesn't matter. To him, he has never clearly known that what he did was right and just like now. ]

[Some people say that the winner is justice. ]

[For him, justice is justice, and doing the right thing is justice. For him and the revolutionary army, right and wrong are very important. ]

["Don't be afraid, miss, we are a righteous revolutionary army."]

[Aokiji, who had a cold expression just now, suddenly had a gentle smile on his face. He looked at the blond girl in the iron cage in front of him and said. ]

[Then he stretched out his finger and touched it lightly. The iron cage instantly turned into ice shards and shattered, as did the collar around his neck. ]

[The collar turned into white frost and shattered, falling to the ground. ]

["The Revolutionary Army hereby declares that you are free." Aokiji said gently. ]

[He likes a sentence that Roja once wrote: Treat your comrades as warm as spring, and treat your enemies as cruel as winter. He feels that this sentence is really suitable for him. ]

["I'm free?" Stella touched the collar around her neck in disbelief. ]

[She touched it several times, and the heavy collar around her neck had disappeared, and she could only feel the mark pressed by the collar. At this moment, she cried uncontrollably. ]

["Be careful of bad guys in the future, miss." Aokiji looked at Stella who was crying, sighed softly and comforted her. ]

[Before this, the slave lady whom Roja saw for the first time at the slave market always had a slight smile on her face, as if she was very strong. But at this moment, the strong shell shaped by suffering was broken together with the collar. The painful experience turned into tears, which finally burst out. ]

[It is difficult to explain whether these tears were due to the suffering she had suffered or the joy of being saved. Perhaps more importantly, she finally gained the freedom to cry. ]

["All slaves here, you are free." Aokiji turned to all the slaves in front of him and said. ]

[Freedom, the most precious word in the slave-selling market, is now ringing in everyone's ears again. ]

[The soldiers of the Revolutionary Army quickly found the corresponding keys, opened the cages, and liberated the slaves held inside. ]

[Some cried loudly, and the cries echoed in the sky above Sabaody. There were also some who walked out of the cage numbly, lifeless, their eyes were dull, Even though the word freedom rang in their ears, they were not moved at all. ]

["slave."]

[Aokiji looked at the scene of rescuing the slaves, and at first he felt very happy, because today's incident had fulfilled the justice in his heart, and this is real justice. ]

[But now that I saw this scene, the cheerful mood gradually dissipated, and a feeling of depression gradually filled my heart. ]

[Especially when I saw the slaves lying on the ground crying, the dull eyes in their eyes, and the burn marks on their bodies. ]

[A large number of slaves were liberated from their cages and gathered in the central square. They were accustomed to obedience and were also afraid of the power of the revolutionary army. They adapted to the darkness. Some of them are even afraid of the sun. ]

[Even though a detailed investigation has been done before, the numbers are only on paper after all. The gathering of a large number of slaves is shocking to Aokiji. ]

[This is just a slave trading market, this is just a place on the ground of Sabaody. I am afraid that there are only slaves here for three to five years at most. ]

[No one knows how many years the slave trade has lasted. You must know that Celestial Dragons and nobles have existed in this world for eight hundred years. There is so much darkness buried in it. Aokiji didn't dare to think about how heavy it was. ]

["World government, Celestial Dragons." Aokiji gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and felt a cold chill all over his body. ]

[This is what Roja said, the enemies that the revolutionary army must eradicate, the evils that have been accumulated for 800 years, have reached such a terrifying level. ]

[" Fishmen karte: Five Thousand Tile True Punch."]

["Fishmen karte: Shark Tile True Punch."]

[Fisher Tiger's side has basically come to an end. Tiger plus Jinbe, two strong men, basically have no suspense. ]

[Compared to other fishmen, they are indeed powerful at Fishmen karte. ]

[After dealing with the human trafficker guards, Tiger just sighed slightly in his heart when he saw the fearful eyes of the human slaves in the cage looking at him. ]

[He searched the keys from the traffickers' shops and released the slaves without distinction of race. His expression was gentle and he tried not to scare the humans. ]

[The same is true for Arlong on the other side. He has changed a lot compared to before, but his expression is still bad. ]

[When facing humans, he roughly tears open the cage, and then casually throws a bunch of keys in front of them like charity. When facing fishmen, he treats them like brothers and relatives. Usually you open the lock yourself. ]

[Until he tore open an iron cage with all his strength, casually threw down a bunch of keys and prepared to leave. ]

["Thank you, Uncle Fishman."]

[A timid voice whispered behind Arlong. ]

[Arlong turned around in surprise and saw an extremely thin human boy. ]

[Children have always been an unpopular type among slaves, especially little human boys. There are very few children among slaves in Sabaody. ]

[This boy is obviously not valued. He only has a cage, no collar, and very little food. He is surprisingly thin. I am afraid that if the revolutionary army arrived a few days late. He would died from starve to death. ]

[ Arlong looked at the little boy, somewhat silently. ]

[Perhaps thinking of himself living in Fishman Street as a child, Arlong clenched his fist and cursed "bastard" in a low voice. ]

["There should be some food nearby." Arlong said coldly, then turned and left. ]

["Thanks."]

[A thank you made Arlong pause for a moment, and the unknown anger in his heart became more intense. He wanted to find a few traffickers to beat him up. But he found that they had all been taken care of by Brother Tiger and Jinbe.]

["Humans are such a bastard race. They even persecute their own people." Arlong belittled all humans, as if this could relieve his anger a little. ]

[But at the same time, did he think of himself? Aren't the bastards who manage Fishman Street the same? ]

[Mangrove Area No. 13. ]

[In the early morning, there is no one in the bar. ]

[The proprietress Shakky stood alone in front of the bar, leaning against the bar, lit a slender women's cigarette, and took a puff. ]

[Then she closed her eyes and slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. ]

["Ara, is there such a big fuss all morning?" Shakky had doubts on her face. ]

["On the current sea, who dares to make such a big noise in Sabaody, with so many strong men." Shakky opened her eyes: "Revolutionary Army?"]
