Kapitel 35: Chapter 34

After confirming the deal with Morgans, Robin arrived back to the bar to discuss the plan with the Fish-men, Robin just told them only the initial part of the plan as they will not be involved in anything beyond rescue of the slaves. Although the fish-men wanted to refute, they knew better as getting involved in the later stages would just mean getting in Robin's way. They silently vowed to get stronger so that they can be of some use to their goddess in future if needed.

After discussing the plan with the fish-men Robin went with Rayleigh to prepare for next night's adventure, they needed multiple ships for the slaves to escape as arranging for a few large ones would just make it easier for the marines to apprehend the slaves. Once the ships were procured Robin went to meditate and calm her nerves before she walked into the belly of the beast.

As promised Morgans delivered the visual den den mushis in the morning, Robin and the fish-men had a last minute training session where they fought against Rayleigh, while Rayleigh was using the mysterious suppressive force, which he revealed as the third form of Haki called Conqueror's Haki. So far this was only Haki that couldn't be developed later and a person had to be born with it. Training under the pressure of Conqueror's haki helped the fish-men tremendously, but not so much for Robin as she was already quite strong.

Soon the evening arrived, Robin and fish-men boarded onto the back of Squirt and made their way to the point at the base of the Redline, above water, indicated by Rayleigh, just as the sun set they began to climb up the Redline under the cover of darkness, and they had managed to climb in just under two hours. Two hours still remained for the show-time, during this two hours they first secured their exit by knocking out the guards, they was also the option of doing down via the rope they had used to climb. After securing the exit Robin and the fish-men canvassed the area noting down the guards and observing the patrol. Surprisingly the security around the world noble's residential area was rather lax, it was as if they didn't expect anyone to attack and security itself was there to deal with any unruly slaves. Robin had also detected a few hidden guards, but they were at the level of vice admiral at most, hence they posed no problem and could be taken down easily once they start the plan.

Just a few moments before the four hours mark Robin created 14 clones. Among the 14 clones, 10 were the pure defensive types, i.e they dealt no damage and hence did not transfer any damage back to main body, 3 contained 50% of Robin's power and transferred 50% of the damage back while the last one was exact replica i.e same as that of her original body. She then commanded her clones to form three groups, the first group consisted of 4 defensive, second group consisted of 2 50% and 3 defensive, the last one had the exact replica and 3 defensive, while 1 50% clone would be working alone. She then proceeded to give one visual den den mushi to one of the defensive clone in the second group and another to her exact replica in the third group while keeping one for herself. She also gave her personal den den mushi to Jinbe so that she could keep in touch with them even after they split up. She then provided hooded cloaks to Hody, Aarlong and Jinbe while similarly making her 13 clones wear the same, the cloak completely hid their faces covered their limbs hiding any prominent features. This was the solution Robin thought of to prevent any details of involvement of fishmen in the assault on Mary Geoise to surface. Only ones without cloaks were herself and her exact clone.

It was showtime, following the plan explained by Robin the fish-men along with first group charged towards the guards who were escorting a group of 10 slaves to their quarters, while Robin neutralized the hidden guards. Luckily for them the security of Mary Geoise was completely unprepared for any sort of stealth attack, as they did not even get the chance to raise alarm and alert others. The slaves too were completely stunned as a bunch of hooded figures came from nowhere to deal with the oppressors.

"We have come to release all the slaves under the world nobles, now you guys have 3 choices, one is to escape immediately using the Rope that we have attached after climbing the red line to get here, one you go down there will be ships waiting for you, just talk to the old man sitting on the deck of the first ship he will immediately arrange one for you. Second one is to wait near the hooded figure who is near the bandolas and we shall go down once all the slaves have been released. Third is follow us and be our guide of the servant quarters so that we can rescue and leave with every one quickly." said one of the clone Robin.

The ten looked at each other with a happy and surprised face, of the ten 6 chose to wait for the bandolas while 3 decided to get a ship and the last one volunteered to help the group out. With the help of the volunteer the first group and the fish-men found out that even within the slaves there were three main types.

First category were the easily replaceable one who were mostly just normal human males, they were treated the worst and had to do loads of physical labor, they could be easily replaced and life of death of these did not really matter.

Second category were mostly non humans who were either kept as zoo animals or made to fight humans as a form of entertainment. These ones were treated slightly better than the First category of slaves.

Third category were the personal slaves, these mostly consisted of beautiful maidens and extremely handsome and buff men, that served the World nobles personally, there were also a few who had eaten or made to eat devil fruit and had to use their powers as a form of entertainment for the nobles. They were treated more like pets than slaves.

He also informed that rescuing the third category would be trouble some as they would in the mansions of the world nobles and also a few of them would be loyal to their masters and might raise the alarms to alert the authorities.
