...

The grand mansion of Saint Rolviff was ablaze with lights. Numerous arrogant Celestial Dragons, clutching their invitations, arrived to attend the engagement party.

Despite their lavish attire, their appearances were, to put it mildly, unpleasant. The feast, set against the backdrop of the Celestial Dragons' bizarre and often repulsive features, proceeded in an unsettlingly surreal atmosphere.

Noir, choosing not to assume Rolviff's hideous form, stood at the entrance, clad in a black trench coat, his sword Devil Blade held casually at his side. He observed the scene with keen interest.

At Celestial Dragon gatherings, the Government's guards usually served as a safety net. However, the World Nobles' conceit wouldn't allow them to share the same space with outsiders during a feast.

As a result, all the guards had been stationed outside the perimeter of Rolviff's mansion, leaving only the useless Celestial Dragons inside.

Enel scoffed, pointing at the people inside. "Just these weaklings? Do we really need all of us to make a move?"

Noir nodded. "Lucci and Blueno will assist you. They know where the ship is."

"Wyper and I might cause a bit of a commotion. Be quick with your operation."

Lucci crossed his arms. "Are we really going to rescue those slaves? It will be a significant burden on our mission."

Noir's eyes gleamed with determination. "The greater the challenge, the more fun it is. Think of it as recruiting some new crew members."

Lucci often voiced opposing opinions to Noir, but in the end, he never disobeyed his captain's orders.

This was what set Lucci apart from the others. He had his own independent thoughts and methods but ultimately respected Noir's decisions.

His relationship with Noir was similar to Zoro's with Luffy, but Lucci's obedience was colder and more rigid.

With a simple plan in place, they set their plan into motion.

Lucci and Blueno, former CP9 agents specializing in assassination and kidnapping, wouldn't have much trouble abducting the Celestial Dragons, especially with Enel's help.

The real challenge lay in escaping Mary Geoise without being surrounded and intercepted, while also successfully transporting the Celestial Dragons.

Noir, accompanied by Wyper, headed towards the darkest corner of Mary Geoise.

Their destination was the underbelly of the Holy Land, where all the slaves were kept, imprisoned like livestock.

The Celestial Dragon families, too proud to sully their own estates, had collectively confined their slaves in several prisons in this area, saving Noir the trouble of searching far and wide.

They arrived at a tall gray wall. Two guards, slumped against the entrance, were on the verge of falling asleep in each other's arms.

A cold wind swept through. The guards, lost in their sweet dreams, suddenly felt a chill on their necks. Their eyes closed forever.

Noir, his sword dripping with blood, strode into the prison.

Wyper followed closely behind. A group of guards inside spotted the two intruders and immediately raised their rifles, shouting,

"Alert! Intr.."

Their voices were abruptly cut off. The guards' eyes widened in horror as they froze, their rifles pointed aimlessly at Noir.
