Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Big Mom founded Whole Cake Island, Kaido assembled a Zoan Devil Fruit army, and both of them are big shots in the underworld.

Whitebeard is the adopted son of the entire seas, and in terms of fleet size alone, he should be the strongest among the Four Emperors.

Then look at Shanks, his underlings all seem like nobody's there. He likes to hang out at the bar in the weakest sea all the time. If it weren't for the author's introduction, no one would even consider him one of the Four Emperors.

This world is cruel, and children like Ein and Hancock are not uncommon.

Wood cannot save everyone, but he cannot stand idly by when something happens before him that he can do his part to help.

Just like when he first arrived in this world, although he was powerless and terrified of the vicious pirates, he still resolutely stepped in when he saw that Ain was about to be harmed.

At that time, Ein was just a familiar stranger to Wood, living on an island.

Unable to become a righteous partner in saving the world, Wood cannot ignore the heartfelt cries for help before him.

The people who took over the slaves from Wood and his group were not Celestial Dragons themselves, but rather members of the CP organization who were their lackeys.

Under normal circumstances, the Celestial Dragons would disdain to communicate with such lowly people.

Furthermore, after the slaves were handed over, the CP organization had to conduct an investigation into them to prevent dangerous individuals from getting close to the Celestial Dragons. As for Wood and Gion, who were being escorted, they were immediately expelled from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

As a sacred place, this is clearly not a place for people of their low status to stay.

Meanwhile, the merman who escaped from Wood also fled back to Mermaid Island, and a few days later, he finally made contact with the merman adventurer Fisher Tiger.

When Fisher Tiger learned that his compatriots had failed to rescue the mermaids and were instead captured and taken to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, he was naturally furious and decided to head to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise without hesitation.

Compared to humans who are found all over the world, the number of fishmen is undoubtedly much smaller. This is why fishmen are generally stronger than ordinary humans, but they have always been in a weak position.

But precisely because of this, the fishmen are quite united, especially those who follow Fisher Tiger, who treat their fellow fishmen as their own brothers.

Regarding Fisher Tiger's plan to go to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, most of the fishmen naturally said that as long as their leader Tiger gave the order, they would go through fire and water with him.

However, there were also those who objected, such as the more level-headed Jinbe.

Most of the fish-people who have always lived on Mermaid Island may not know what the so-called Holy Land Mary Geoise is, or even think it is just an ordinary island.

However, Jinbe was well aware that landing on the Holy Land of Mary Geoise would not be easy, and even if they got there, they might not only fail to rescue their comrades, but also lose their own lives...

"Jinbe, what exactly do you mean? Do you want to stop us from going with Tiger to rescue our people?"

Arlong the fishman only started hanging out with Tiger in recent years, but because of his fierce and combative personality, he quickly became a leader in the team and had a certain amount of influence.

"No, I didn't say I didn't want to save my companion, I just think this matter needs to be considered carefully."

The Holy Land Mary Geoise is the seat of the human world government. Located in such a dangerous place as the summit of the Red Line, its defenses must be exceptionally strong.

Therefore, in order to avoid any unforeseen circumstances, I believe the rescue operation needs to be carefully planned.

Jinbe was a moderate, while Arlong and his group were radicals, so the two groups quickly started arguing fiercely.

Jinbe believed that Arlong was all muscle and no brains, and that his impulsive actions would only lead to everyone's demise.

Arlong, however, believed Jinbe lacked courage and only served to embolden others while diminishing his own prestige. Wouldn't it be better to be in the residence of humanity's highest authority? If they could turn that place upside down, would humans dare to look down on them, the fish-men, then?

"Enough! Jinbe is right, the Holy Land Mary Geoise is quite dangerous, we cannot let our guard down."

but……"

When Jinbe heard Tiger agree with his point of view, he breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as he was about to reveal his plan, he suddenly heard Tiger continue, panting heavily, "But we can't just stand by and do nothing about our compatriots being captured alive."

Anyone who has been to Sabaody Archipelago should know exactly what kind of people the Celestial Dragons are.

In the hands of such scum, no one can say for sure whether our compatriots will be able to hold out until we arrive to rescue them.

Every second wasted means our comrades might perish at the hands of the enemy, or suffer torture at the hands of the Celestial Dragons.

"Therefore, regarding this trip to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise to rescue my compatriots, I have decided to go alone!"

That way, even if we encounter danger, only I will be the one who doesn't make it back. And if we succeed, I will naturally bring my fellow countrymen back here.

As mentioned before, there are two routes to the Holy Land Mary Geoise. One is the regular route that Wood and his group took.

The other route is to sail underwater from Mermaid Island, escape through a cave, and directly bypass the Red Earth.

The second route is more dangerous, after all, there are dangers such as sea kings and underwater volcanoes in the sea. However, such dangers are greatly reduced for fish-men who can breathe in the sea.

Even a coated ship, though capable of sailing on the seabed, will be instantly crushed into pieces or suffocated by the immense sea pressure once the soap bubble bursts.

However, fishmen don't need to worry about this problem at all, and if they take the underwater route, they can easily overcome the many obstacles of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.

As for the Red Line, Tiger had also come up with a plan: just like in the original story, he planned to climb to the top of the Red Line with his bare hands and then go around to Mary Geoise to enter the Holy Land!

Chapter 57 The opportunity has arrived!

The journey from the underwater volcanoes to the Red Line is extremely long and already requires a lot of physical exertion, not to mention the subsequent task of climbing the Red Line by hand.

Tiger's decision to go alone was not without reason, because even among the strongest fishmen, few could withstand such physical exertion.

"In that case, count me in too!"

“If Boss Tiger is going, I, Aaron, will naturally be the first to follow. Don’t worry about my stamina; shark-like fishmen are all fast swimmers.”

Upon hearing that Tiger had made his decision, Jinbe knew he couldn't say anything more, so he could only say that he would count himself in as well.

Seeing that Jinbe had joined them, the other fishmen, including Arlong, naturally expressed their desire to go as well.

Although this mission was fraught with peril, Tiger's reputation on Mermaid Island was so absurd that if he raised his voice, there would be no shortage of merfolk willing to live and die with him.

Furthermore, although this operation is dangerous, if they successfully rescue their compatriots from Mary Geoise, they will undoubtedly become heroes of the entire Mermaid Island.

Many people signed up to go, but Fisher Tiger didn't want too many of his compatriots to go on the adventure, so he only selected a few of his compatriots, including Jinbe and Arlong, who were at least quite strong, to go together.

Fishmen can swim at a speed that is not as fast as mermaids, but it is still very fast, especially since fishmen like Fisher Tiger are a race that swims very fast.

Wood and his group set off ten days earlier than Tiger and his group, but they had only been in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise for two days when Tiger's merfolk army arrived.

In order to rescue their compatriots as quickly as possible, Tiger and his team took the most dangerous route, venturing directly over the top of an underwater volcano.

Fortunately, the volcano was not in an eruption phase at the time; otherwise, they would have lost half of their fighting strength before their companions could be rescued.

The tiger shark man and lanternfish man who were released by Wood and his men have not chosen to leave the waters near Mary Geoise in the past two days.

They originally intended to go back, but considering that their companions who had gone back earlier might take action, they decided to wait nearby for the time being.

And just as they had initially predicted, Tiger and his men were approaching their location at an extremely fast pace.

Don't ask them how they know, because as Arlong's underlings, they possess each other's life cards.

The paper was shaking in their direction, indicating that the fishman Arlong was approaching them.

"Weren't you captured alive after your rescue attempt failed? How did you end up here?"

As Tiger and his group approached the Red Line, the Tiger Shark Man and his crew also found them through the Life Paper.

When Ah Long saw his underlings appear unharmed before him, he was clearly taken aback, because this was quite different from the information they had received.

"It was those two men who were in charge of escorting the slaves who said we weren't the targets of this mission, and since they didn't want to let the annoying Celestial Dragons get away with it, they released us..."

Upon hearing the tiger shark man's description of what happened, Ah Long was stunned. Could a human be so kind?

Furthermore, it's not hard to tell from the words of the tiger shark man that the man and woman, who were quite powerful, also disliked the Celestial Dragons. So why would they help the other side escort slaves?

"Regardless of the origins of those two humans, or what their purpose may be."

Our original purpose for coming here has not changed. Haven't we seen mermaids being captured again? And there must be quite a few of our fellow mermaids who have been captured and brought here in the past, right?

Now that we're here, we can't leave empty-handed.

Upon learning of Tiger and his companions' purpose in coming to Mary Geoise and their plan to climb the Red Line with their bare hands, the Tiger Shark was incredibly excited.

He had been with the team for a year but hadn't accomplished anything noteworthy, which was why he chose to attack Wood and his group to rescue them without telling Tiger and the others.

Hearing Tiger's plan, it was clear they were preparing to do something big, and Tiger Shark Man was naturally extremely excited, especially since he had the opportunity to participate.

"Tiger, Jinbe, and Arlong, if you want to climb the Red Line, I know the best spot."

Through observation over the past two days, I've discovered that the guard at that location is the weakest. If we climb up under cover of darkness, we can bypass the defenses and directly enter the Celestial Dragons' residential area.

Wood and Gion have been in another region of the Red Earth in Mary Geoise for two days now.

Two days ago, after they completed the handover of slaves, they had been hiding beneath the Red Earth.

Having been idle in this place for two days, Gion looked at Wood, who was calmly wiping his long sword, and said with some impatience, "How long do we have to wait for this opportunity you mentioned? Our mission also has a time limit. If we don't report back to the Marine Headquarters, we will be suspected if something happens."

"If you don't do something tonight, once those slaves are sent to the Celestial Dragons' quarters, you really won't be able to save anyone, and you won't be able to keep your promise to those Amazonian brats."

The slaves taken in from Wood and his group, after their identities were investigated, were not immediately sent to the Celestial Dragons. Instead, they had to undergo a period of "taming" to ensure they would not pose a threat to the Celestial Dragons before being sent to them.

If Tiger and his group don't take any action yet, it will be even more difficult for Wood and his group to move once Hancock and the others are sent to the Celestial Dragons' residential area.

Wood wasn't really sure if Tiger would come to Mary Geoise, since according to the plot, he was supposed to come several years later.

“Then let’s stick to the original plan. You go and create chaos, and I’ll find a way to steal the key. As for whether those slaves can escape the Holy Land of Mary Geoise in the chaos, that’s up to their own luck.”

After some hesitation, Wood and Gion decided to make their move tonight, because once Hancock and the others were sent to the inner area of ​​the Holy Land Mary Geoise...

Even if they created chaos, it would be difficult for Hancock and her companions to escape from the inner areas of Mary Geoise amidst the confusion.

Just as they were about to take action, a huge commotion suddenly occurred in Mary Geoise, the sacred land at the summit of the Red Line.

Because it was night, the commotion was even more noticeable; the orange-red flames illuminated half the sky, standing out starkly against the dark night.

"Look, the opportunity has come!"
