Chapter 4

The fire caused by Chu Yang with the help of a large amount of combustibles far exceeded the fire in the original plot. Now the entire Mary Geoise was plunged into a sea of fire.

The situation was even so serious that the Celestial Dragons couldn't care about pursuing Tiger.

Even Kuzan, who had just arrived, joined the firefighting team in the first instance.

Coupled with the slaves fleeing everywhere, the Holy Land's army was stretched thin.

In the top-floor courtyard of the highest point of Pangea Castle, a lonely figure was quietly watching the flames burning everywhere in the city.

As the true master of the Holy Land, Imu didn't feel humiliated; instead, a playful smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

After obtaining the most supreme power in the world, in her long life, she had rarely encountered such interesting things.

Especially in the last hundred years, it was so boring that she had lost interest in everything.

Today... it counted as a pretty good amusement.

Imu watched the development of things with interest, like a bystander who had nothing to do with it.

As for how many slaves would escape and how many Berries would be lost, she didn't care at all.

Just as Imu was enjoying this spectacular "bonfire," Chu Yang and Tiger had already escaped the scope of the Holy Land and arrived at the edge of the Red Line.

Chu Yang didn't expect that this Fish-Man would follow him all the way.

Helping him was just because the group of Marines happened to be blocking his escape route, and there was no other way, so Chu Yang had to take action.

That blow just now had consumed almost all of Chu Yang's chakra.

If it weren't for his amazing recovery ability under the blessing of Wood Release, he would have fainted long ago.

On the way, Tiger was also constantly sizing up Chu Yang.

The ability Chu Yang displayed earlier made Tiger suspect that he was a Devil Fruit user.

As for what ability it was, Tiger was curious, but not stupid enough to get to the bottom of it.

Their relationship hadn't reached the point where they could exchange secrets.

The two walked to the edge of the cliff. Chu Yang looked at the ten-thousand-foot-high steep cliff below and the raging waves at the very bottom, and subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

He didn't have acrophobia.

But at such a terrifying height, even a normal person would have weak legs after one look.

"I remember there are lift ships..." Chu Yang looked around. He remembered that there were special lift ships responsible for picking up and dropping off people going to the Red Line.

"There are a large number of soldiers guarding the lift ships, but now these soldiers are busy fighting fires in the city, so there should be no one guarding them. As long as we find the lift ships, we can successfully leave Mary Geoise."

When Tiger heard that Chu Yang wanted to find the lift ships, he immediately said: "I know where they are!"

Chu Yang looked at him in surprise. Isn't this a Fish-Man slave who just escaped from prison? How would he know this? Seeing that Chu Yang didn't seem to believe him, Tiger explained: "When I climbed up from below before, I saw the lift ships."

"So that's how it is..." Chu Yang nodded, then was startled, "Wait, where did you climb up from?"

Tiger pointed to the abyss beside him.

Now Chu Yang finally knew who the Fish-Man in front of him was.

There had only been one person in so many years who could climb to the Holy Land Mary Geoise with bare hands, and that was the hero who liberated the slaves—Fisher Tiger.

After knowing Tiger's identity, Chu Yang couldn't help but size him up, only then realizing that he looked familiar, especially that bright red skin.

Tiger felt his scalp tingle from Chu Yang's enthusiastic gaze and hurriedly said: "Little brother, don't worry, I definitely didn't lie to you." "I know." Chu Yang asked curiously: "Did you also come up to set fires?"

Tiger, who had already been misunderstood once, couldn't bear this grievance and immediately explained: "I didn't set the fire, I just took the opportunity to liberate some slaves..."

As he spoke, Tiger felt something was wrong and asked suspiciously: "Hmm? Why did you say 'also'?"

Chu Yang's expression changed, and he hurriedly changed the subject: "No time for small talk now, if we stay any longer, the Marines will catch up. Take me to find the lift ships quickly."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Tiger came to his senses and took Chu Yang along the cliff toward the front. After a while, the two successfully found the entrance and exit of the lift ships.

Just as Chu Yang expected, there were very few soldiers guarding the entrance, just four people standing alone, who were knocked down by Tiger one by one with a punch, with no power to fight back.

Tiger couldn't help but sigh: "The defense here is so weak, other places should be about the same. I hope those innocent civilians can leave this hell and go home safely."

Truly a good person who cares about the world...

Chu Yang, who likes to stay out of trouble, admired Tiger, and this thought also came from the heart.

There was not a hint of mockery.

Taking advantage of the night, the two took the lift ship to leave the Red Line and return to the embrace of the sea.

Directly below Mary Geoise, there was a small town as a foothold for the lift ships.

People coming and going to the Red Line usually gathered in this small town.

Because there were no guards, the arrival of Chu Yang and Tiger didn't alarm anyone. Walking on the quiet street, Tiger suddenly asked: "Little brother, are you preparing to go home?"

Go home?

Where would a transmigrator have a home? Chu Yang smiled bitterly: "My home is gone, I can't go back."

Tiger thought Chu Yang's family had been destroyed by human traffickers, so he sympathized with his experience for a while and continued to ask: "Then where do you plan to go next?"

Yeah, where am I going next? Chu Yang fell into deep thought.

Need to find a place to learn some useful skills! Whether it's Haki or Taijutsu, Chu Yang needs to learn something as soon as possible, otherwise, the next time he meets other clones, he will waste another opportunity to meet.

Although "freeloading" makes people happy, freeloading off oneself has no meaning.

What should I learn?

In Chu Yang's view, the most valuable skill in the Pirate World is undoubtedly Haki.

The power of Haki is unquestionable, and its enhancement of combat power is even better than Devil Fruits to a certain extent.

And Haki doesn't have the obvious shortcomings of Devil Fruits.

But the problem is, where can I find someone to teach me Haki? Although there are many experts who understand Haki in the New World, with Chu Yang's current ability, even with Wood Release, it's highly likely he'd just be throwing his life away.

As for outside the New World, the only place Chu Yang can reach is the Amazon Lily Kingdom where Hancock is.

There is a ban on men there. Without the protagonist's halo, Chu Yang would also die if he went in, at least for now.

Besides Haki, the next best things are swordsmanship and Taijutsu.

At this stage, the only place to learn superior swordsmanship is the Isshin Dojo in Shimotsuki Village in the East Blue, which means becoming a fellow disciple with Zoro.

It's simply unrealistic for Chu Yang to return to the East Blue from the Grand Line alone.

As for Taijutsu, Chu Yang really doesn't look down on anything. Except for the Six Powers of the Marines, the overall level of Taijutsu in the Pirate World is not as good as in the Naruto world.
