Chapter 9:Operation Boa Sisters Begins

The night hung thick over Sabaody Archipelago as Jason, Shakuyaku, and Rayleigh prepared for their rescue mission. With the details of the plan clear, each knew their role. Rayleigh would cause the distraction while Jason and Shakuyaku would slip into the warehouse, free the Boa Sisters, and get them to safety.

Before the plan could be set in motion, they needed crucial information about the location of the Boa Sisters. Jason, in anticipation of the rescue mission, had been keeping a close eye on his system, which now pinged with an urgent notification.

[System Notification]: Mission Accepted!

Mission: Rescue the Boa Sisters from the Slavers.

Reward: 2,000 System Points.

Jason felt a rush of excitement at the notification. This was more than just a rescue mission; it was a chance to earn system points that could aid him in future endeavors. He glanced at his mother and Rayleigh, who were discussing their next steps, and knew he had to focus on the task at hand.

Rayleigh led them to a secluded spot near the docks, where a lone slaver stood guard, unaware of the imminent danger approaching him.

Rayleigh crouched low, his eyes glinting with determination as he observed the man. "Let me handle this," he murmured, turning to Jason and Shakuyaku. "Stay back and watch."

Jason nodded, his heart pounding in anticipation. He had read countless stories about Rayleigh's impressive skills, and now he was about to witness them firsthand.

Rayleigh approached the slaver with the silence of a ghost, his Haki shrouding him in an aura that instilled dread. The slaver had been counting coins and muttering to himself, oblivious to the threat that was closing in on him.

With a swift motion, Rayleigh struck, grabbing the man by the collar and slamming him against the wall. The slaver's eyes widened in shock, and panic set in as he struggled to comprehend what was happening.

"Where are the Amazonian girls?" Rayleigh asked, his voice low but filled with a steely resolve.

The slaver, realizing the dire situation he was in, stammered in response, "I-I don't know what you're talking about!"

Rayleigh tightened his grip, applying just enough pressure to make the man wince. "Don't waste my time. I'll ask you again. Where are they?"

"I swear! I don't know!" The slaver begged, his fear evident. "They're in a warehouse near the auction site! That's all I know! They're... they're being prepared for sale!"

Rayleigh released the man for a brief moment, letting him catch his breath, but then swiftly drew his sword. The slaver's eyes widened in horror as he realized his fate.

"Your kind brings suffering to innocent lives," Rayleigh declared, his voice cold and unwavering. "You won't harm anyone again."

Before the slaver could utter another word, Rayleigh struck, ending the man's life in an instant. The body fell to the ground, a silent testament to the danger posed by those who traded in human lives.

Rayleigh turned to Shakuyaku and Jason, his expression grave but resolute. "They're in a warehouse near the auction site. We need to move quickly before they're transported elsewhere."

With the slaver's information secured, Jason, Shakuyaku, and Rayleigh regrouped to finalize their plan. The atmosphere buzzed with tension and urgency. The three Amazonian girls, Hancock, Marigold, and Sandersonia, were depending on them, and time was of the essence.

"Rayleigh, you need to create a distraction to draw the guards away from the warehouse," Shakuyaku said, her voice steady. "Once they're focused on you, Jason and I will move in and get the girls."

Rayleigh nodded, a smirk forming on his lips. "Leave it to me. I'll take care of the fireworks. Just be ready to move when I create the diversion."

Jason felt a rush of adrenaline. He was eager to play his part, not just as Shakuyaku's son but as someone who could make a difference. He had read about the Boa Sisters and their incredible strength, and he was determined to help them regain their freedom.

"Remember, we can't afford any mistakes," Jason said, glancing up at Shakuyaku. "We need to get them out before the auction starts."

Shakuyaku placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder, her eyes softening. "You're right, Jason. We'll do this together."

With the plan in place, they made their way toward the docks. The atmosphere was tense but filled with a sense of purpose. As they neared the site, the distant sounds of slavers barking orders reached their ears, heightening the urgency in Jason's heart.

Rayleigh paused near the edge of the dock, his eyes focused on the slavers' ship anchored nearby. "I'll create the distraction now," he said, glancing back at Jason and Shakuyaku. "Stay hidden until I give the signal."

Jason watched in awe as Rayleigh prepared himself, the energy around him shifting. Then, with a powerful punch aimed at the ship, Rayleigh unleashed a shockwave that shattered the hull, igniting a blaze that lit up the night sky. The explosion was immediate, chaos erupting among the slavers as they scrambled to assess the damage and secure their cargo.

"Now!" Rayleigh shouted, his voice booming over the chaos.

Shakuyaku wasted no time, taking Jason's hand as they sprinted toward the warehouse. The chaos created by Rayleigh had drawn the guards away, leaving a clear path for them to slip inside unnoticed.

"Keep quiet," Shakuyaku whispered as they entered the dimly lit building, her senses heightened. The air was thick with the smell of damp wood and rusted metal. Jason could hear distant voices echoing through the corridors, reminding him of how close they were to the girls.

As they moved deeper into the warehouse, Jason's heart raced with anticipation. He knew they were close to the Boa Sisters, and he was determined to help them escape.

Shakuyaku glanced at Jason, her expression fierce yet caring. "We need to move fast. The moment they realize something's wrong, they'll come looking for the girls."

Jason nodded, his focus unwavering. The mission was clear: they had to rescue the Boa Sisters and ensure their safety. He felt the rush of the system notification earlier, reminding him of the importance of this mission, not just for the reward but for the lives they were about to save.

"Let's do this," he whispered, steeling himself for the challenge ahead.

Together, they pushed open the door, ready to confront whatever awaited them inside. Jason felt the weight of their mission resting on his small shoulders, but he also felt the unwavering support of his mother beside him. They were in this together, and nothing would stop them from freeing the Boa Sisters.
