"You went to sea just to find El-sama?"

  Ihe au hall, several Celestial Dragons were pale with fear, humiliated as they k, uo move due to the pet colrs tightly trolling them. Nef and Linlin, however, paid no attention to the Celestial Dragons, instead staring at the Three-Eye Tribe girl in front of them, astonished.

  "Yes, Fallen Angel El is an idol for those of us from special races," Lillian replied, her voice low and her face still showing signs of the ordeal. She tinued, "For races like the Fish-men, Longarm Tribe, and Loribe, it's retively safe as long as they stay within their unities. But for rare races like the Three-Eye Tribe, Bueer Tribe, and Lunarians, we've been huo near extin by the Wover's relentless pursuit."

  As she spoke, her three eyes seemed to glow with admiration. "No one has ever truly dared to stand up against the Wover. Most of us just run, hide, and keep fleeing from their relentless hunt, as well as the Navy's. But El-sama is the only one who dared to resist. He not only led the Giants to destroy a Navy stronghold but also reportedly wiped out aire Navy fleet by himself! And he was only nine years old at the time!"

  Years ago, when El’s bounty was first posted, it was news of him single-handedly destroying the fleet led by Vice Admiral Steel Bone Kong, the G-11 base ahat spread across the seas and caused a massive stir. That event made Lillian realize he was a true rebel against the Wover, someone she could admire and aspire to follow. It was then that she decided to train hard a out to find and follow Fallen Angel El when she grew up.

  "Mamamama~, so that's how it is…" Linlin nodded in realization, puffing out her chest with a proud smile. "Of course! My El niisan is the best in the world!" Hearing Lillian’s admiration for El filled Linlin with pride, and she felt an immediate e to the Three-Eye girl.

  "I'm Linlin, a fighter in the Fallen Angel Pirates," Linlin introduced herself with a grin. "And this is he ship's doctor."

  "o meet you. From now on, we're all on the same team," Nef said with a smile. She could tell that Lillian had signifit potential, especially with her race’s rumored abilities.

  "I'm Lillian, from the Three-Eye Tribe, and also a swordswoman," Lillian introduced herself. However, her face quickly twisted in anger as she added, "If it weren't for those despicable people, I never would have been captured!"

  She expihat she was born with a powerful Observation Haki that could easily cover aire isnd, deteg even the slightest ges in energy. She had also bee a skilled swordswoman, capable of unleashing flying sshes. However, shortly after setting out to sea, she was targeted by a sve-hunting crew. They initially didn't realize she was from the Three-Eye Tribe and just wao capture her as a regur sve. But when they discovered her true identity, they relentlessly hunted her. Worse, the leader of the svers had the Rust-Rust Fruit ability, which allowed him to turn her on into useless rust during the fight. They also poisoned her ons and gassed her, leading to her eventual capture and sale to the Bck Fg Trading pany, where she was brought to the Sabaody Archipego to be aued off.

  "Don't worry, Lillian," Linlin said with a cold smile. "The Fallen Angel Pirates will help you get your revenge on those scum. None of them will escape."

  With the intelligework at their disposal, trag down that sve-hunting crew wouldn’t be hard.

  "Linlin, Nef..." Moss and Rock appeared from the back, apanied by several disheveled figures. "These are the sves who agreed to e with us. The others who didn’t want to leave have been freed."

  "But it seems the Fish-man sve was saved by the Roger Pirates before we got to him," Moss added.

  In total, there were about ten or so sves who chose to follow the Fallen Angel Pirates. Many of the other captured sves wao return to their homends, so the crew released their colrs ahem go. Whether they would make it back safely depended on their own luck.

  "Haha, Jien, aren't you going to help your fellow Fish-men escape?" Nef asked teasingly, pointing to the drippi but stunningly beautiful mermaid who had just been freed from her gss cage. "She should be able to swim fast enough to escape and make it back to Fishman Isnd, right?"

  Among the freed sves were members of the Mink Tribe, the Loribe, and a few strong human sves, including two muscur young men and three beautiful women. The presence of the strikingly beautiful mermaid, who had not immediately chosen to escape, surprised Nef.

  "I… I don’t want to go back to Fishman Isnd," the mermaid said nervously but firmly. "I want to travel with you all ahe world!"

  Though she had nearly been sold as a sve, the mermaid was captivated by the dream of the Fallen Angel Pirates, especially the utopia they sought to build—a world without svery or discrimination, where all races could live together in harmony. Seeing the diverse crew, including people from different races, further vinced her of their siy.

  "I feel the same!" several of the other sves echoed. Whether Minks, Longlegs, or even the human sves, all expressed their desire to join the pirates. The human women had no home to return to and had already experiehe worst of human nature. They saw no other option but to stick with the crew.

  "Mamamama~, if you're prepared to follow us, then e along…" Linlin said, looking down at the group. "But once you're part of the crew, there’s n back. Being a pirate isn’t a game!"

  "Don't worry, we’re ready!" they responded quickly, breaking into cold sweats from the pressure of Linlin’s t figure.

  "Good, let’s see how you do," Linlin replied before remembering something. "The Roger Pirates? Were they the strong guys sneaking around earlier?"

  During her use of queror’s Haki, several people in the crowd had mao stay scious. But among them, only a few had truly caught her attention.

  "Yes, I've seen their bounty posters before!" Moss said with a grin. "Their captain, ‘Golden’ Gol D. Roger, has a bounty of 200 million berries. His first mate, ‘Silver’ Silvers Rayleigh, is at 149 million berries, and their third-in-and, ‘Bronze’ Scaban, is at 110 million berries."

  "The neers call them the 'Gold, Silver, and Brorio!"
