...

High above, a massive ice ramp, stretching from the towering Red Line, plunged into the vast ocean.

Though cushioned by the warships, the sheer force of their descent as they slid into the sea shattered the vessels.

The joyous songs and laughter abruptly ceased, replaced by the sounds of splintering wood and panicked splashes as people were thrown into the water.

It was like a downpour of humans.

Thankfully, the ice had provided some buffer. Otherwise, they would have been crushed upon impact with the water.

The wrath of nature was often far more perilous than any human threat.

Exhausted from maintaining the ice path, Noir was caught off guard by the sudden plunge into the ocean. A massive wave slammed him into the seabed.

His face emotionless, he covered his mouth. The icy seawater washed away some of the fatigue from overusing his powers, bringing him a sense of clarity.

Looks like we escaped Mary Geoise...

How did Fisher Tiger manage to set Mary Geoise on fire and escape with all those people?

Noir's decision to liberate the slaves had been a spur-of-the-moment act, inspired by Wyper's words.

Their success was largely due to luck.

If any part of the plan had gone wrong, Noir could have been killed by Aokiji or Kizaru...

Noir held his breath, kicking upwards towards the surface.

Suddenly, a large shadow loomed overhead.

He looked up, his forehead breaking out in a cold sweat.

A horde of burly figures, resembling drowned corpses, were swimming towards him, their arms flailing wildly, bubbles streaming from their mouths.

These men, who saw Noir as their savior, had panicked when they saw him fall into the water.

They believed Noir, with his seemingly endless abilities, must be a Devil Fruit user.

And Devil Fruit users were the most vulnerable in the sea!

Submerged in the water, Noir's face contorted in despair.

There's no need to be so enthusiastic...

I actually know how to swim...

But seeing their determined expressions, Noir played along, allowing the well-meaning men to pull him to the surface.

Relief washed over their faces. Their Savior was safe!

He had saved them, and they would protect him at all costs!

However, they had once again forgotten something crucial.

Deep beneath the waves, four genuine Devil Fruit users – Wyper, Blueno, Enel, and Lucci – clung to each other, sinking into the depths with expressions of utter despair on their faces.

After a Herculean effort, they finally managed to pull everyone out of the water.

Following Noir's instructions, they hastily repaired one of the less damaged ships and had the fish-man brothers pull it.

The fish-men were happy to oblige, dragging the warship through the water with the survivors on board.

Behind them, two giant warriors swam effortlessly, their immense strength allowing them to keep pace with the ship.
