...

Mihawk was taken to the ancient castle and treated with hospitality. The Spade Pirates were stunned when they heard their guest was a Warlord of the Sea.

Ace, intrigued, tried to strike up a conversation with Mihawk, much to the hawk-eyed swordsman's annoyance.

He'd known another person just as boisterous...

A peaceful new day dawned, and Noir began to consider the future of his ever-growing crew.

Nearly two thousand people crammed into the massive castle. The most pressing issue was food. Noir constantly sent people out to fish, relying on seafood to sustain them.

The two giant warriors from Elbaf, Nylph and Manlyph, stayed on the ship, helping with construction projects.

Noir watched them work with interest, his gaze falling on a mark below Nylph's neck.

A crimson hoof print, the mark of the Tenryuubito.

All slaves of the Celestial Dragons were branded with this mark, and it was incredibly difficult to erase.

Even the slaves Fisher Tiger had freed had merely covered the mark with another tattoo, concealing it rather than removing it.

Noir scratched his head in frustration. Would he have to find a way to cover their marks too?

But that would still leave a trace. He wanted these marks to vanish, not be hidden.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. He actually had a skill that might help.

He'd obtained a special skill from Chopper, a healing ability called Restoration.

However, after a few experiments, he'd rarely used it.

He'd discovered that Restoration wasn't truly healing. It only had a minor effect on external injuries.

It was essentially a fancy, high-end cosmetic procedure...

Noir beckoned to Nylph. "Hey, big guy! Come here for a second!"

The giant lumbered over, his voice booming. "What is it, Savior?"

Noir leaped onto Nylph's shoulder, his feet barely touching the ground. "Relax, I want to try something."

Nylph stood still, obediently. Noir focused on the giant's neck and activated Restoration.

A faint, green glow, imbued with the essence of nature, enveloped the mark. The crimson of the hoof print gradually faded.

Nylph, unable to see what was happening, exclaimed, "Savior, my neck feels warm."

Noir smiled, satisfied. The other former slaves from Mary Geoise stared in disbelief.

The Tenryuubito hoof print, so notoriously difficult to remove, was being effortlessly erased by their Savior?!

Seeing that no trace of the mark remained on Nylph's neck, Noir jumped down and announced to the crowd, "Everyone, gather around! I'll erase your marks!"

A cheer erupted as the former slaves crowded around him, eager to be rid of the mark of their enslavement.

They had resigned themselves to carrying this mark for life, even after escaping Mary Geoise.

They had prepared themselves to bear this burden of darkness forever.

And yet, their all-powerful Savior had accomplished the impossible. Was there anything he couldn't do?!
