The time was two days ago.
The location is located in Mariejoia.
Raging fires burned in this holy place that stood at the highest point in the world. Frightened screams, excited roars, and angry curses were heard incessantly, interlaced.
Thousands of slaves were liberated by the mysterious figure who suddenly broke into the place.
In the flames, the figure laughed loudly.
"This is a liberation of equality!"
"How wonderful."
"From today on, you are no longer slaves. You will only belong to yourself. You are completely free!"
"Remember, all of us, no matter what race, no matter compared to anyone else, from now on, will be equal!"
Laughter echoed in Mariejoia. Countless confused and doubtful slaves slowly opened their eyes, their bodies trembled involuntarily, and then, a gleam of light bloomed in their eyes.
"Flocs!"
"He's a fish man!"
Someone whispered.
Many people couldn't believe that it was the fishman who saved them!
"Whether it's a fishman, a human, a fur race, a dwarf race, a long-necked race, no matter what race it is."
"You are all treated equally in my eyes, we are all equal!"
"I have liberated your bodies, but your minds need to be liberated by yourself!"
The sturdy fish-man figure stood in the flames and laughed loudly.
"Liberty and Equality."
"This is the ideal I should pursue!"
The sound echoed in the flames, and many humans' eyes shone with light and their expressions became excited.
"Hey, fishman benefactor, what's your name?"
someone asked loudly.
"Fisher Tiger!"
The fishman replied loudly, and then he laughed loudly again.
"But I don't want you to remember my name."
"What you should be more grateful for is the great man named Xia Le!"
"Because if it weren't for him, there wouldn't be such an earth-shattering liberation movement!"
"Freedom and equality are the truths that man taught me!"
Fisher Tiger shouted.
At this time, he turned his head and saw the escort team coming.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"Everyone, run away!"
"From now on, feel the taste of freedom!"
Laughing, Fisher Tiger turned and ran.
All the liberated slaves were startled at this moment, and then they quickly realized and ran away.
In the crowd, a figure silently remembered the man standing in the flames laughing, and also remembered the name Xia Le.
"Fisher Tiger!"
"Xia Le!"
"You are all my benefactors, Gilder Tezzolo!"
The man with gray-green hair and scars all over his body said firmly while running wildly.
"One day, I will definitely repay you!"
——
"Well done, Tiger!"
Xia Le silently put down the newspaper in his hand and looked out the window with a smile on his lips.
Although he was not at the scene, he could feel the earth-shattering and heroic nature of the other party's action through a few words in the newspaper.
Those who free slaves and break traditional dark and decadent ideas are always heroes!
Fisher Tiger's courage undoubtedly impressed him, and it was precisely because of this that he personally saved him that day, in order to bring some shock and fluctuation to the world that followed.
"Will you die in the future?"
After murmuring, Xia Le fell into silence.
The death of such a hero is undoubtedly regrettable to the world.
It's just a difficult time in his heart. No one can help him get through it, he can only work hard on his own.
But once we break through, we will achieve greater success.
"I hope my arrival and my words on that day can bring you a different ending."
"After all, you are also one of the seeds!"
The soft words came out, and soon the office fell into silence.
In 1509, not much happened. After the massive slave liberation movement, Fisher Tiger was issued a wanted order by the World Government.
This matter did not involve Xia Le.
He lives peacefully in the Xihai headquarters, still troubled and painful by daily affairs.
Soon after, Fisher Tiger formed the Sun Pirates, which became famous all over the world. What frightens some people in the world government is that the other party is spreading the ideas of freedom and equality.
Compared to what Xia Le once said to the world, what Fisher Tiger did was undoubtedly crazier.
Using the slave liberation movement as a banner, they informed people all over the world of the concept of equality and freedom. They even fought against nobles on some islands to liberate slaves and won victory.
For a time, Fisher Tiger became a hero of class struggle and a priest who promoted freedom and equality!
He opened the minds of countless oppressed people and was respected and admired.
The bounty has exceeded the original 230 million, reaching 550 million.
This undoubtedly shows that in the eyes of the World Government, Fisher Tiger's thoughts are far more terrifying and threatening than his strength.
In a blink of an eye, time comes to 1510.
Xia Le received a piece of good news that put a smile on his face that day.
News came from Vegapunk that Kozuki Oden's transformation work has been completed perfectly and has been a success.
At the same time, he himself has woken up.
"Kozuki Oden!"
"This is my name on that piece of paper!"
Xia Le smiled softly.
That same day, he headed to Sky Island.
In just a few seconds, Xia Le was already standing in front of Bega Punk.
At the same time, a tall man was sitting blankly on the test bed not far away, staring at himself in the mirror strangely.
"I am Kozuki Oden?!"
The man said blankly.
"Amnesia?"
Xia Le asked doubtfully.
He was also puzzled by the man sitting on the hospital bed, because from the appearance, he was completely different from the former Kozuki Oden.
He is six meters tall and has a huge body. There is a burning flame hanging behind his head. His white hair is shawl and his face is angular. Only the appearance of Kozuki Oden can be vaguely seen.
"No, he's just excited about his new look."
Vegapunk said with satisfaction.
Over the years, he has been transforming Kozuki Oden's bloodline factors, and the most direct one is to join the Lunaria clan's bloodline.
Because this is the only blood factor he has in his hands.
As for Xia Le's immortal bloodline, he still couldn't find any useful information, which was also puzzling to him.
"I can't see him being excited at all!"
Xia Le covered his forehead and said.
Visible to the naked eye, the tall figure sitting beside the bed was shaking all over, and his handsome and angular face became distorted and ferocious, almost in a state of violence.
"you!!!"
"What on earth did you do to me!!!"
Suddenly, Kozuki Oden turned his head, a pair of angry eyes locked on them.
The terrifying aura came over in an instant, and Vegapunk calmly hid behind the PX-Golden Lion and Seraph Zeus.
"It's just been remodeled."
"After all, your original body is already dead in a sense!"
Explaining casually, Vegapunk looked at the work in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.
"You are the most satisfying person I have transformed so far!"
Kozuki Oden became even more angry and jumped down from the bed, flames burning behind him: "You said transforming people?!"
"certainly!"
"You should thank me for saving your life, even though it was some kind of luck and coincidence."
"But you are still lucky to be alive, but it is a fact!"
Bega Punk said calmly.
Hearing this, Kozuki Oden was startled and remembered his previous experience.
Then, looking at his body at this moment, he held his head and shouted again.
"Ahhhhh!"
"If I become like this, they won't recognize me!"
Xia Le smiled and said, "Even if I know you, you can't see them now."
"Who are you?"
Kozuki Oden turned his head suddenly and looked at him.
Then, when he saw the long knife on his waist, his expression changed again and he said in shock.
"Why do you have Roger's knife?"
Xia Le smiled slightly: "Are you talking about Ace? Roger gave it to me."
"How can it be?"
Kozuki Oden was stunned.
Then, he frowned again.
"What's going on in Wano now?"
"Also, how long have I been unconscious?"
Xia Le replied with a smile: "The country of Wano is already Kaido's territory. As for you, you should have been sleeping for six years!"
Kozuki Oden was shocked: "Six years!?"
"As scientists say, your survival is an accident and a blessing."
"But it's also your new life!"
Xia Le smiled.
"A new life?"
Kozuki Oden fell into silence.
He recalled that he was deceived by Kaido and the Black Carbon Orochi's conspiracy, and eventually died.
"You have died in the eyes of everyone, of course this is your new life!"
Xia Le smiled slightly.
Raising his head and looking at the unfamiliar body in the mirror opposite, Kozuki Oden sighed after being silent for a while.
"Indeed, it can be considered a new life."
"That stupid Kozuki Oden is dead."
After a pause, he looked at Xia Le again.
"To be able to inherit Roger's sword, you must be very trusted by him, right?"
"tell me your name."
Xia Le said: "My name is Xia Le!"
"Xia Le?!"
"The navy that captured Roger?"
Kozuki Oden was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and vaguely understood something.
"What did you do in this body?"
Then, he sighed again.
Xia Le showed a puzzled expression, and Vegapunk came out and answered the question.
"In order to avoid uncontrollable situations for you in the future, I left a backdoor in your modified body."
"In other words, he and I both have the right to forcefully control you!"
After a slight pause, Bega Punk said again.
"In a sense, you should not be considered human anymore."
"But you also have all the functions of a human being."
"So, you are the most satisfied person I have transformed so far!"
As he said this, Begapunk showed a look of complacency on his face.
Kozuki Oden's face trembled, as if he was suppressing the frustration and anger in his heart.
Xia Le was keenly aware of the other party's psychological state. After all, he had just been killed by a conspiracy, and then fell into the tiger's mouth after waking up and was forcibly manipulated. This experience is always not good.
"cough!"
"Interested in turning the world upside down with us?"
"Oden!"
"Just like you assisted Roger back then, help me now!"
Xia Le smiled.
As the words came out, a surge of overlord-like domineering energy swept out, pressing towards Kozuki Oden.
The latter felt this domineering power, his eyes shrank, showing a hint of shock.
"Not weaker than Roger at all!"
Then, he sighed.
"Do I have the right to say no?"
Xia Le smiled: "It seems not!"
"Then, happy cooperation!"
After a few breaths, the two hands clasped together tightly.
The smile spread on Xia Le's face, while Kozuki Oden looked aggrieved and helpless.
