Including slaves, a total of 126 people were rescued.

During this time, Gildarts had no selfish motives and kept the matter a secret, telling Ivan and Jura about what he had gained in the secret room. This left them astonished and amazed by the wealth of the Celestial Dragons.

Putting everything else aside, those five Devil Fruits completely make up for the gains from this mission.

Not to mention the gold and silver treasures!

This time, they really made a fortune.

"To be honest, these Celestial Dragons are really rich. Just one family has made us rich and benefited us a lot."

"What about the remaining 19 families..."

Ivan raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the location of the other Celestial Dragon families shrouded in endless darkness. A strange light seemed to flicker in his eyes as he turned to the two beside him and asked, "Should we consider pulling off a few more heists?"

"I think you're overthinking it. With our capabilities, this is simply impossible."

Jura shook his head. He wasn't as cheerful as Ivan. He just said thoughtfully, "To be able to stand in this world and be the most powerful Celestial Dragons with such a high status, is it only because they have the identity of 'descendants of the Creator' that they receive the protection of the World Government?"

"Thinking about it carefully, I feel there's something fishy going on. Perhaps these Celestial Dragons have some unknown, formidable trump cards up their sleeves?"

“We’d better not overstep the task assigned by the Supreme God,” Jura said in a deep voice. His goal was to complete the mission step by step, ensuring the safe return of everyone.

Upon hearing this, Ivan sneered: "Fortune favors the bold, and some danger is to be expected. Could it be that a dignified S-rank mage of the Serpent Queen's Scale is afraid?"

...

After listening to Ivan and Jura's argument, Gildas's mind was about to explode. He covered his forehead with one hand and said with a headache, "You two are right, but can we talk about those things later? What we need to do now is not to cause trouble for the team, but to rescue the slaves in the slave district."

"Understand?"

The moment Gildas finished speaking.

"know."

Ivan and Jura exchanged a glance, then each snorted coldly, putting aside their displeasure, and stopped arguing. Clearly, they considered that the overall situation should be the priority.

Gildas nodded, and then, under his leadership, everyone headed straight for the slave quarters. They did not split up; with Ivan's illusion magic providing cover, they advanced unimpeded and completely stormed into the slave quarters.

However...

"The enemy is attacking!"

"Something terrible has happened! Quickly inform the higher-ups that an invasion and riot has broken out in the slave quarters. Also, immediately contact the Marines to send men to suppress the slave rebellion."

Perhaps Ivan's magic was slightly depleted from repeatedly casting large-scale illusion magic, and some areas were not completely shielded.

In the monitoring room, the moment they saw the slave figures among the intruders through the video Den Den Mushi, their expressions changed drastically, and they sounded the alarm, hurriedly issuing a "request for backup" order through the Den Den Mushi.

next moment.

A sound like thunder resounded through the silent moonlit sky!

Many people awoke from their stupor.

"We were exposed."

The moment the alarm rang out, Gildas, Ivan, and Jura's expressions darkened, and their voices became urgent.

"There's no other way, let's finish this quickly."

"This is, after all, the headquarters of the World Government. If this drags on for too long, someone exceptionally powerful might appear."

Jura calmly surveyed her surroundings, watching the endless stream of guards wielding various weapons rushing into the passage and heading towards them.

His gaze suddenly turned cold.

Immediately afterwards, he clapped his hands together.

Jura took a sudden step forward, his overwhelming power sweeping across the void. He roared, and terrifying magic surged from his body, "Rock Iron Flow!"

"Boom——"

The next second, the ground suddenly trembled violently.

The earth's bricks and tiles seemed to have softened, turning into a swamp that meandered and surged, swallowing everyone beneath them.

As Jura struck down with his palm, mudslides four or five meters high surged up from both sides again, sweeping everything away like a raging torrent.

A few breaths later, the entire army was wiped out.

The scene was absolutely breathtaking!

Having calmly completed these tasks, Jura lowered his hands, glanced at the slaves behind him, and said seriously, "All of you are responsible for rescuing those slaves. As for the remaining guards, leave them to us."

"Yes, Lord Jura."

Having witnessed the horrific scene, the slaves were all shaken to their core, and then roared with excitement.

With such powerful individuals as our support, we have no worries about saving our compatriots and getting them out of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!

The commotion outside had reached the prisoners in the dungeon, and guards were seen making their way towards the exit. Gunshots and screams rang out continuously.

What... what happened?

Filled with doubt, the slaves gripped the iron bars, tilted their heads, and stared in astonishment in the direction from which the sound came. They hadn't yet realized what was happening and why so many guards had been deployed.

And it was at this moment!

When Gildas and his group entered the prison corridor, many slaves immediately became excited, for they saw familiar faces among them.

Some people were about to take the keys, ready to free the slaves.

"You're all too slow. Leave it to me, all of you get out of the way!"

At this, Gildas frowned and suddenly said, "Crush."

After saying that, Gildas stretched out one hand, facing away from the distance, and then suddenly squeezed it.

"Kaka..."

The atmosphere shattered, and powerful energy shot out.

Countless fine, spiderweb-like white cracks spread and rippled outwards in the blink of an eye.

A terrifying force of destruction, carrying immense power, swept across the entire prison.

Under Gildas's precise control, in no time at all, all the iron gates disintegrated into air and disappeared.

Chapter 202 History Repeats Itself

Suddenly the gate disappeared, and the slaves, who had suffered countless inhuman tortures and were covered in wounds, rushed out with wild joy on their faces, as if they did not want to stay there for even a moment longer.

At this moment, in one of the cold prison cells.

A burly, robust fishman with ruddy skin, a thick beard, and sharp, pointed horns on his back slowly stepped out of the doorway, his eyes scrutinizing the three people led by Gildas.

His name is Fisher Tiger.

An outstanding adventurer and traveler who once aimed to "circumnavigate the One Piece world"!

However, shortly after the start of one of his journeys, he was captured and enslaved, and later imprisoned and abused by the Celestial Dragons.

As a result, he suffered greatly under the oppression of slavery, which also made him fully aware of human discrimination and madness.

Tiger glanced at the other merfolk mixed among the slaves, frowned slightly, and couldn't help but speak.

"Who are you? You're just humans, so why are you trying to save us fish-men?"

"Do we need a reason to save lives? In the face of life, everyone is equal. Whether human or of another race, we treat everyone the same."

"The so-called distinction between noble and lowly is just something others use to flaunt their status."

Gildas casually uttered this pretentious remark with a calm expression, unaware that the moment those words left his lips, they stirred up a monstrous storm within Tiger's heart, leaving an indelible mark upon him.

After all, ever since he became a slave, he had developed a deep hatred for humans and genuinely loathed them.

but now.

Tiger is saved again by the very humans he despises, which is undeniably ironic!

Seeing this side of humanity caused Tiger to feel conflicted again. He lowered his head, remained silent for a long time, and finally let out a heavy sigh.

"Thank you. You have made me realize once again that humans are not without good and bad."

"And my name is Fisher Tiger. If there is an opportunity in the future, our fish-man race will definitely repay you."

After saying this, Tiger gathered his merman companions together. Although some of them still hated humans, they did not completely deny the fact that humans had saved them.

Soon, thousands of slaves of different races were released and filled the corridors, surging forward like a tide.

"Our benefactor, please accept our bow!"

At that moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Gildas, Ivan, and Jura. Then, with tears in their eyes, they knelt down and bowed to the three of them.

No one expected that after becoming slaves, they would live a life worse than death, full of despair, with no hope of ever getting out.

However... even today.

But suddenly, three messengers were sent by heaven to save them, bringing once again the dawn of hope and the future to everyone.

"Boom!!!"

The air jolted suddenly.

Accompanied by an invisible yet powerful and gentle force, it rippled out, instantly sweeping in all directions, supporting the knees of all the slaves, slowly rising up, and standing up again.
