The system's electronic voice echoed in Ryuya's mind as he stepped onto the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
This Devil Fruit ability was exactly what Ryuya wanted.
But he didn't plan on eating it now.
Strolling through the Holy Land Mary Geoise, Ryuya wanted to see if there were any places he could check in.
But all he saw was fire and fighting.
Some slaves, to survive, betrayed their comrades, gaining a second or two to escape.
Some slaves, unable to break free from the shackles around their necks, couldn't bear to see others escape, so they went on a rampage.
They even went berserk, seeing Ryuya in his cloak and charging at him.
Then, Ryuya cut them down with a single strike.
This was happening too often.
It ruined Ryuya's mood for strolling through the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
Just as Ryuya was about to leave, he heard running footsteps behind him.
The footsteps were heavy, making no effort to hide.
He turned around slowly, and in the flickering firelight, Ryuya saw a red fishman with thick, curly hair and a wide mouth running towards him.
Ryuya's eyes narrowed slightly.
He could tell that the fishman wasn't far away and was heavily wounded.
He had countless large and small wounds, oozing blood.
If he wasn't a fishman, Ryuya thought he would be a corpse by now.
The fishman saw Ryuya too. He didn't know who Ryuya was, although Ryuya's attire was rather strange, as long as he wasn't wearing a white cloak and a mask, that was all that mattered!
Immediately, Fisher Tiger, enduring the intense pain, took a deep breath and shouted to Ryuya, "Hey! Guy in front! Run! There's a masked guy chasing us!"
Masked guys, it must be CP0.
And, not surprisingly, the person in front of him must be the "culprit" of this riot, Fisher Tiger.
In an instant, Ryuya deduced Fisher Tiger's identity.
But Fisher Tiger, seeing Ryuya standing still, was anxious!
"Can't you hear me?! Run!"
Fisher Tiger reminded Ryuya again, but as he finished speaking, blood spurted from his mouth.
He was already heavily injured, constantly fleeing, and these two shouts had aggravated his injuries!
Even so, he didn't hesitate to warn Ryuya. That was the charm of Fisher Tiger, I guess.
But at that moment, five figures in white cloaks and masks appeared behind Fisher Tiger.
"Whoever it is, anyone who causes chaos in the Holy Land Mary Geoise will die!"
Fisher Tiger's heart sank when he heard those words.
He didn't expect CP0 to arrive so quickly.
Immediately, Fisher Tiger gritted his teeth and stood in front of Ryuya.
Then he turned abruptly, shielding Ryuya behind him.
"I'm about to reach my limit. I'll hold them off. You go, run, run!"
He shouted the last sentence with all his might.
Ryuya looked at Fisher Tiger and chuckled. "You're quite domineering, but I don't have the habit of hiding behind others."
As Ryuya finished speaking, Fisher Tiger felt a gust of wind behind him.
Ryuya instantly charged out from behind Fisher Tiger.
Fisher Tiger's pupils contracted.
He wanted to warn Ryuya that these five people were very strong!
But his throat was filled with blood, and he could only cough more violently and bleed more. He couldn't make a sound.
Fisher Tiger didn't dare to look. In his eyes, it was impossible for one person to defeat these five powerful individuals.
But the next second!
Fire flashed in Fisher Tiger's eyes.
It was the most exaggerated slash he had ever seen since he was born.
Blazing flames erupted from the man's blade.
With a single strike, the five men who had severely injured him were instantly slain!
Fisher Tiger looked at the scene in disbelief, shocked: How is that possible! Who is this guy! He's, he's so strong!!!
As Fisher Tiger was shocked, Ryuya sheathed his sword and walked slowly towards him.
Everything seemed so effortless.
It was as if those five powerful beings were mere cannon fodder in Ryuya's eyes.
Adjusting his breath, Fisher Tiger forced the blood down his throat and whispered to Ryuya, "Th, thank you."
"You're welcome. I was just passing by."
With that, Ryuya bent down and lifted Fisher Tiger onto his shoulders.
"Put me down, I'm, I'm just a burden."
Fisher Tiger's voice grew weaker as he spoke.
"Don't talk. I'll take you to get your wounds treated."
Ryuya carried Fisher Tiger towards a nearby mansion.
The mansion hadn't caught fire yet.
Ryuya kicked open the door and entered the room.
He carefully placed Fisher Tiger on the ground and used the materials in the room to give him a makeshift bandage.
"Rest here for a while. You'll be fine with me here."
Fisher Tiger felt a warmth in his heart at Ryuya's words.
Just as he was about to thank Ryuya, a noise suddenly came from below the room.
Fisher Tiger immediately became alert.
Ryuya looked at Fisher Tiger, signaling that he was fine, then went to find the entrance to the basement.
The corridor leading to the basement was pitch black.
Ryuya gently pushed his sword hilt with his thumb, and a wisp of flame flew out of the scabbard, illuminating the corridor.
As Ryuya went deeper, the noise became clearer. It sounded like a girl's voice...
