The overall strength of the Revolutionary Army certainly cannot be compared to the Rocks Pirates.
However, Hancock and the others this time were not the focus of the Celestial Dragons, and they were not strictly guarded like Shakky was back then.
Moreover, in addition to the Revolutionary Army's attack, there were also Slaves released by Fisher Tiger, and these people would definitely create huge chaos.
The situation was really similar to God Valley back then, and Rayleigh was confident that he had some experience in rescuing people.
June 18th, dusk.
Shakky tidied Rayleigh's clothes and said seriously,
"If you dare to die out there, I will never forgive you!"
Rayleigh laughed and pushed open the back door of the bar, waving his hand without looking back...
"Leader, Fisher Tiger's Sun Pirates have already appeared near the Red Line."
Dragon stood on the warship disguised as a merchant ship, and Crow reported in a low voice behind him.
In a face-to-face situation, with Dragon's Observation Haki attainment, even if Crow forgot to turn on the loudspeaker, he could still hear everything clearly.
His tone remained calm:
"Wait a little longer, let's see what Tiger plans to do first."
"And also, we need to wait for a senior to arrive."
"Senior?"
Crow was puzzled but didn't ask further.
Just as the warship hoisted its sails, Rayleigh appeared at the dock and landed on the deck with a light leap.
"It's really lively…"
He first sighed, then turned and said,
"Dragon kid, this old man is only responsible for rescuing people; you guys handle the rest."
Dragon stood at the bow, first smiling slightly at Rayleigh:
"It is the greatest help to us for a senior to come; this is already enough."
Then, he instructed Crow behind him:
"It's time to set sail."
...The sun quickly disappeared at the end of the Red Line, and the Sun Pirates had already reached the bottom of the Red Line.
The newly risen Moonlight was cut into pieces by the cliff, and the waves crashed against the rock face, creating pale foam.
Jinbe stood by the ship's side, his palm against the rough rock surface, his face full of worry:
"Brother Tiger, not even birds can fly over the Red Line; it's really too high."
The tattoo on Tiger's body glowed in the Moonlight; this was the Sun Pirates' symbol, modified from the Hoof of the Celestial Dragon.
He took a deep breath, his voice steady:
"That's why the World Government never guards this place."
Tiger looked back at the deck, where Arlong was angrily kicking the ropes, and Hachi's six arms were unconsciously intertwined.
He suddenly grinned, his voice startling a flock of nocturnal seabirds:
"Your expressions are as if you're already holding my funeral."
Arlong suddenly rushed over and grabbed Tiger's shoulder:
"Brother Tiger, do you really have to go?"
"There aren't many Fishman compatriots up there; why risk your life for those humans?"
Arlong at this time was still sturdy and lean, similar in build to Lafitte, completely different from his later chubby appearance.
Tiger pried Arlong's hand open, his movements slow and firm:
"Slaves are not divided by race."
"Last time, those people executed two hundred Slaves who wanted to escape."
"So this time, someone needs to lead them down the right path."
He scanned the people on the ship:
"I need you to cooperate with the escaped Slaves at the right time, attacking Red Port from inside and out to bring them out."
"But Brother Tiger, what if you encounter danger?"
Young Hachi looked worried.
Tiger placed his hand on the rock face:
"Then let me die there…"
"But the tide will carry away more people."
...Actually, it wasn't as troublesome as they had imagined.
Because Oswald, the guard of Red Port, had already left Red Port with Blake's sanctuary.
Blake's reason was to let him test the ship's operating condition after maintenance.
Being able to pilot a Celestial Dragons' exclusive cruise ship, even if it was just to cruise in the nearby waters, Oswald felt very honored.
So he happily set sail, taking a large group of guards with him.
Currently, Red Port had no decent defensive forces except for the soon-to-be-retired Admiral iron wall stationed there.
In the deep night, in the manor, Blake was exercising with Kozuki Toki.
Suddenly, a gleam flashed in his eyes:
"Finally here?"
Recently, Blake would often activate his Observation Haki to check around.
With his long-distance Observation Haki, he could completely see the situation below the Red Line.
In fact, according to Blake's estimation, Imu could certainly do the same.
But Imu, as a powerhouse who could stay at home for eight hundred years straight, had no curiosity about the outside world and seemed to have never intended to activate his Observation Haki to check.
Hastily ending today's exercise, Blake got dressed and had the maids outside gather Stella and the others.
About fifteen minutes later, Stella and the others arrived.
Perona rubbed her eyes while yawning:
"What happened? Calling us over in the middle of the night."
Robin interjected:
"Maybe our Celestial Dragons adult had another sudden whim and is preparing for a late-night party."
Only when everyone had arrived did Blake say:
"It's not wrong to call it a late-night party, and it's a bonfire party at that."
"But I'm not hosting it."
Seeing the slightly mocking expression on Blake's face, Robin was a little suspicious:
"Did something happen?"
Blake snapped his fingers:
"Tonight, I'm afraid no one will be able to sleep, but there's a show to watch."
As soon as she heard there was a show, Perona immediately became wide awake, eagerly awaiting the excitement.
Blake had the maids prepare some snacks, and everyone sat around in the courtyard chatting.
Kozuki Toki had also recovered, got dressed, walked out of the room, and sat beside Hiyori, helping her shell nuts.
It wasn't until the Moonlight was at its zenith that a sudden explosion was heard in the distance.
Boom!
This was followed by a towering blaze.
Everyone immediately looked back.
"That is…"
Koala's eyes widened; she remembered that was the direction of the Slave market, and she remembered it vividly.
Because she and Mandy were brought back to the manor by Blake from there.
Mandy stood up, placed her hand on her sword hilt, and walked to Blake's side.
Although Blake didn't need her protection, Mandy felt it was her responsibility.
"Saint Blake adult…"
Hancock, sitting next to Blake, looked at her with some worry.
Blake smiled, reached out, pulled her over, and ruffled her hair:
"Don't worry, it won't affect us."
Hancock instantly blushed, lowered her head, and softly "hmm-ed"...
Not far from Red Port, Dragon, noticing the thick smoke rising above the Red Line, immediately ordered from his flagship:
"Everyone, full-scale attack on Red Port!"
"First objective: occupy the control room! Control the elevators!"
