NOVEL NEXT Chapter 19: 019 Mary Geoise 03, Retreat
Celestial Dragons are always at the top.
Usually, when someone harms them, an Admiral rushes in to protect them. When have they ever been killed like this before?
"Bold, you dare to attack the Celestial Dragons!"
Lynch's killing of Celestial Dragons in the street shocked the nearby CPs. Dozens of them rushed towards Lynch to capture him.
"You slaves are really loyal to your master."
Lynch spent a lot of effort to kill dozens of CP members.
Those at the forefront now are all senior CPs, and their strength is not weak.
Unfortunately, right now in Mary Geoise, CP members are falling one after another.
Hundreds more CP members surrounded them. Lynch couldn't afford to continued his killing here and used his speed to get rid of these people.
Moving closer to the east, he can see the slaves who are constantly escaping and the Fishmans setting fire everywhere.
There are also some fishmen and slaves fighting against the CP agent that has arrived.
These slaves are extraordinary; otherwise, they wouldn't have become slaves of the Celestial Dragons. Many of them were once great pirates.
He even saw Arlong fighting against the CP organization while protecting the fishman slaves, which stunned Lynch. It seemed that if there was a boss who could suppress Arlong, Arlong would not be too evil.
"Where's your boss?" Lynch grabbed a Fishman and asked urgently.
"It's Nighthawk. The boss is at the cliff's edge. Hurry, please. We can't hold out much longer."
As more and more CP agents members arrived, the Sun Pirates were forced to retreat.
On the cliff edge of the Red Line, slaves jumped into inflatable boats they had taken from the Mariejois warehouse. The cliff was soon covered with many of these boats.
"Fishman Karate - Air Explosion!"
Tiger roared and punched the air, creating a strong wind that blew several inflatable boats off the cliff.
The inflatable boat that was washed down was as light as a fallen leaf and was enough to fall safely to the sea.
"Awesome technique."
As he got closer, Lynch noticed that Tiger's face was covered in sweat, and he didn't know how many punches he had thrown.
"Nighthawk." Tiger gasped, "You're back."
Lynch looked at the sweat-soaked Fishman and suddenly felt a sense of respect.
There aren't many good people like him left.
"I've killed a few Celestial Dragons. If the World Government can't find me, they'll come after you next,"
Lynch got straight to the point.
"After today, find a secluded place to live and stay hidden for at least ten years. Your life will be in danger if you're seen again"
He handed Tiger a Devil Fruit, a ring, and a pair of exquisite earrings.
"This Devil Fruit is a Zoan type. It can save your life if you're ever seriously injured and dying in the future"
"As for these earrings and ring, please give them secretly to a slave named Hancock and Koala. Help them get home safely. I owe you a favor."
If he remembered correctly, Fisher Tiger would be seriously injured and die shortly after in the future. If possible, he wanted to keep Tiger alive.
With today's friendship, Tiger will play an important role in his plan for The Fishman Island.
Hearing that Nighthawk dared to kill Celestial Dragons, Tiger was horrified but did not blame him.
Anyway, Tiger don't worry about the details. After tonight, they'll be hunted down by the World Government no matter what.
Even if he wasn't the scapegoat, he would laugh and praise Nighthawk.
For Tiger, who had been a slave for three years, he also hated the Celestial Dragons from the bottom of his heart.
"Brother Nighthawk, I'll help you whenever you ask me, but this Devil Fruit..." Tiger hesitated.
"Take it. I hope you won't need it, but it's good to be prepared"
Letting Fishmen eat Devil Fruit is probably something only Lynch would think of. Turning Fishmen into landlubbers
"Okay." Tiger accepted with a wry smile.
Tiger lost his strength, and the remaining inflatable boat was able to jump down the cliff by itself, and without the help of magic, how long he could survive at such a height depended on God's will.
"Boss Tiger, we can't hold out any longer!"
A large group of Fishmen rushed over in panic from a distance, with Jinbei's body badly beaten and bloody.
Arlong in the rear was limping while running, and his calf was pierced by a spear.
Compared to when they arrived, the number of members of the Sun Pirates had dropped by one-third.
Countless CP agents filled the mountains and plains, chasing Jinbei and the others.
Tiger glanced at the slaves still approaching and sighed deeply. He knew they couldn't escape anymore.
But the Fishmen who came with him must survive and leave this place.
"This is my final order as captain. Sun Pirates, follow this command. Return to our original route and leave here. Don't look back. I'll cover the rear!" Tiger clenched his fists and shouted.
"Brother Tiger!" Hatchi cried out.
"Stop talking nonsense! How can we abandon you!?" Jinbei's fish-like eyes were as red as blood.
"Someone has to cover the rear, or else everyone here will die. As captain, it's my mission. No more arguments"
Tiger tried to wrap his fists around weapons but was weakened by exhaustion, nearly falling to the ground.
Just then, a long, strong hand gripped Tiger's shoulder—it was Lynch.
"You're not fit to do this in that state. I'll take care of it,"
"Brother Nighthawk!"
Tiger exclaimed, surprised. He had resigned himself to dying here today.
"Let's go. Remember what I told you to do,"
Lynch said, patting Tiger on the shoulder. He raised his sword and faced the army.
"Brother Nighthawk, the Sun Pirates will always remember your kindness today!"
Tiger said gratefully. Knowing it was time to act, he and his companions boarded the inflatable boat and jumped off the cliff.
"If you want to capture me, deal with the sword in my hand first!"
Lynch raised his sword to confront the army.
In the world of One Piece, swords are not just weapons. They are specifically referred to as swords and wielded by swordsmen, because swordsmen is the master of that sword
The chasing CP was surprised to see that the person blocking the road was not a fish-man, but a human.
"Who are you and what is your relationship with those fish-men?!"
"Forget it, it's the same thing if I catch you and torture you slowly."
"Shave!"
A group of CP agents quickly approached Lynch, using Marine Six Styles' shave from all direction.
"Finger Pistol!"
Countless fingers jabbed at Lynch from all directions like bullets.
The finger pistol's power is enough to pierce through steel, leaving bloody holes in its target
Damn, they think they can bully me just because I can't use Marine Six Styles now, huh?
Lynch pulled out another sword from his waist and said, "Two-sword style: Searing Wind!"
With Lynch at the center, a powerful tornado shatters approaching enemies into pieces.
The enemy died screaming.
"Headbutt."
"Big blast!"
"Two-Sword Style: Wheel Tomb."
Lynch chopped down everyone with his swords, but he struggled against their overwhelming number.
He fights against thousands of elite CP agents alone.
If his Conqueror's weren't so recognizable, fighting them wouldn't be so troublesome.
