He instinctively mimicked the other person, pressing his palms together, and then a shocking scene unfolded!
Pirate Chu Yang also started sprouting a large number of branches from his body!
He was using Wood Release!
Naruto Chu Yang watched this scene, dumbfounded!
Naruto Chu Yang said in surprise, "My power, you can use it, so in reverse, I can also use your power."
Pirate Chu Yang nodded, "It should be like that, but unfortunately, I don't know anything right now."
"No, that's not right."
Naruto Chu Yang felt the changes in his body and immediately became even more shocked, "My Chakra is more active than usual, almost double the difference."
Pirate Chu Yang guessed, "The more people there are, the faster the strength grows?"
Naruto Chu Yang nodded excitedly, "It should be like that. If we get all of 'ourselves' back, won't we reach the heavens in one step?"
The two were still excitedly imagining the future when suddenly, a lot of mist appeared inside the palace. They both felt, at the same time, that they were about to leave this place.
"I don't know when we'll meet again, but you must quickly improve your strength!" Naruto Chu Yang earnestly reminded him.
As soon as Chu Yang nodded, his consciousness returned to his body the next second. The intense pain made him sober; the jailer had just removed the branding iron.
Chu Yang had stayed in the palace for a long time, but in the Pirate world, it was only a moment.
Seeing Chu Yang wake up shortly after fainting, the jailer sneered and raised the branding iron again, "You woke up quite quickly, so let's taste it again."
The jailer didn't notice...
The brand on Chu Yang's chest was rapidly healing; this was a self-healing ability that ordinary people could not achieve.
Chakra slowly flowed...
Chu Yang was filled with power, and with a roar, Chu Yang broke free from the chains on his body.
Under the jailer's horrified gaze, Chu Yang grabbed him by the neck, and countless vines spread from Chu Yang's body, instantly wrapping around the jailer's entire body.
Crack ~ Crack ~
As the vines continuously tightened, a clear sound of bones cracking came from the jailer's body.
"Devil… Devil Fruit user."
The jailer looked at Chu Yang in disbelief.
His face was filled with regret, and not long after, he stopped breathing.
Time to go!
Killing their lackey right under the Celestial Dragons' noses was undoubtedly a serious provocation to the Celestial Dragons' authority.
Chu Yang certainly couldn't stay in Mary Geoise any longer; the longer he stayed, the more danger there would be.
"However, escaping without a plan like this, the chances of success are too small."
To protect the Celestial Dragons' safety, a Marine Admiral is stationed in the Holy Land year-round, and the experts in the Marine base are countless, not to mention abnormal organizations like CP0.
Chu Yang understood that with his current abilities, he couldn't escape the pursuit of these people at all.
"I need to cause some commotion, to create as much chaos as possible."
Chu Yang suddenly remembered Fisher Tiger's feat of burning down the Holy Land. He might as well go all out and prepare to emulate him.
Walking out of the dimly lit torture chamber, Chu Yang ran back along his memory until he approached the slaves' cells, where he finally stopped.
The three sisters, seeing Chu Yang safe and sound, first looked at him with surprise, then were immediately overwhelmed by panic.
Chu Yang was not escorted back by the jailer; he came back on his own.
This situation could only be explained in one way.
Sandersonia, the second oldest, cried out in horror, "You!!! Does that mean you… the jailer…"
Chu Yang nodded.
Marigold, the third oldest, trembled with fear.
They had been trapped here for several years. Although they often had thoughts of killing the jailers, they never dared to act on them.
On the other side, Hancock, as the eldest sister, was also looking at the young man in front of her in shock.
From the first moment she saw the young man, she felt that he was somewhat different.
But she never expected Chu Yang to dare to do such an astonishing thing.
Despite her fear, Hancock felt an unparalleled sense of exhilaration in her heart, because Chu Yang had done what she had always wanted to do but never dared.
Hancock quickly reminded Chu Yang, "While no one has discovered it yet, you should escape quickly. If you are caught by the Celestial Dragons, your fate will be worse than death."
Chu Yang nodded, "I know, but before I go, I want to rescue everyone."
"What?" Sandersonia and Marigold exclaimed simultaneously. They didn't expect that at such a critical moment, Chu Yang would still think of the other people in the dungeon.
"Don't be a hero. You don't even know how many slaves are imprisoned here. How long will it take you to rescue them one by one?"
Although Hancock was very moved, she still loudly reprimanded Chu Yang, hoping he would leave quickly.
The Celestial Dragons had ruled for so many years, and such a malicious incident had never occurred before. Chu Yang's fate was predictable.
However.
She didn't know that Chu Yang rescuing people was only to distract the Marine and give himself a greater chance to escape Mary Geoise.
Chu Yang showed no intention of leaving. He squatted down under the puzzled gazes of the three sisters, placing his hands on the ground.
Chapter 3: Burning the Holy Land
"What is he doing?" Marigold was completely confused.
Hancock and Sandersonia were also unsure, staring blankly at Chu Yang.
The uneven dungeon flagstones suddenly cracked, and from the crevices, trees and vines grew wildly and savagely, engulfing the dungeon like a tide.
The usually indestructible cell doors were now more fragile than tofu, and were squeezed open by the trees in just a few moments.
The sudden change stunned the three sisters, and they stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move, thinking that some monster had appeared in the dungeon.
Under Chu Yang's control, the trees created a path for people to exit. He stood outside the cell door and shouted, "Come out quickly!"
Hancock, regaining her senses, emerged from the dense trees and asked with uncertainty, "Are you a Devil Fruit user?"
"No time for that now!" Chu Yang avoided answering and said, "Quickly lead everyone to escape!"
"Thank you!" Hancock looked deeply at Chu Yang, as if to engrave Chu Yang's appearance in her mind, and then left with her two younger sisters.
Chu Yang used Wood Release to destroy all the cell doors in a short time.
The long-imprisoned slaves poured out and fled towards the outside of the dungeon.
A vast crowd of people formed a black tide, looking extremely terrifying from a distance, and this was exactly the effect Chu Yang wanted.
As the last person escaped the dungeon, Chu Yang set this sinful place ablaze. With a large amount of wood as fuel, the fire spread very rapidly.
Chu Yang continued to set fires throughout the night, using Wood Release to guide the flames to various parts of Mary Geoise.
However, what Chu Yang didn't know was…
In another part of the city, someone else was doing the same thing.
In the darkness, a tall figure appeared exceptionally robust in the glow of the fire.
His unusual red skin and appearance indicated that he was not an ordinary human.
Fisher Tiger!
Tiger, who had always advocated freedom, dreamed of becoming a traveler. However, shortly after beginning his journey, Tiger was captured by human traffickers and became a slave.
For three whole years, Tiger suffered inhumane abuse and witnessed the greed and evil deep within human nature, which made him utterly disappointed in humanity.
But more than hatred, Tiger wanted to liberate other species who shared his same fate.
This was also why he returned to the Holy Land after successfully escaping.
Tiger wanted to free all the slaves here.
Tiger, holding his grand ideal, had just released some slaves and set their cages on fire, when he discovered that the other side of the city was already ablaze!
Who was it?
Someone was even faster than him?
Looking at the increasingly out-of-control fire, Tiger realized that if he didn't hurry to rescue the slaves, everyone would be burned alive.
"Who the hell set this fire?!" Tiger, chased by the flames, ran around, cursing exasperatedly.
Fortunately, when he was a slave, Tiger was familiar with the layout of the Holy Land. Although time was tight, he still rescued most of the slaves.
The remaining slaves also took advantage of the chaos to escape on their own.
Having achieved his goal, Tiger was preparing to flee the Holy Land.
However, a squad of Marine approached from not far away, surrounding Tiger.
"How dare you privately release so many slaves!" the Navy Captain in a Marine coat roared furiously.
Tiger righteously said, "They are innocent people who were abducted and sold to the Holy Land by human traffickers. As the Marine, not only do you fail to protect the weak, but you also aid and abet evil. It's a disgrace!"
The Navy Captain sneered, "I'm too lazy to waste words with you. Compared to releasing slaves, your crime of burning the Holy Land is greater. You're a dead man, so surrender!"
Tiger was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "I didn't set the fire!"
"Still quibbling when death is at hand! If you don't plan to surrender, then don't blame me for getting rough!" The Navy Captain completely ignored Tiger's defense and ordered his subordinates to attack.
Instantly, a group of people surrounded him, and dozens of flintlock pistols simultaneously fired at Tiger.
Meanwhile, Tiger calmly performed Fish-Man Karate.
The air was grasped in Tiger's hand, turning into a violent current. As he swung his arm, it instantly vibrated outwards in all directions.
Countless bullets, struck by the airflow, swayed precariously, falling to the ground like raindrops.
The Navy Captain's face was very grim; Tiger's skill exceeded his expectations.
