Merry is wanted
Facing the attack, Xia Qi calmly took a puff of cigarette, stood there quietly without looking back.
The three Hancock sisters looked at the attacking figure, their eyes widened in shock, and they all made moves to fight back.
In the blink of an eye, just when everyone was about to hit Xia Qi, Rayleigh's figure suddenly appeared behind Xia Qi.
He just looked up at everyone, and an invisible but powerful domineering aura burst out, like a hurricane sweeping across, instantly drowning those people.
All those people were frozen in mid-air, their bodies stiff and their facial expressions frozen, and they had all lost consciousness.
Then, the people hanging in the air fell to the ground one after another like dumplings.
Rayleigh then turned around with a smile: "Xia Qi, you run so fast, why don't you wait for me."
"I can't help it. These people are too noisy and really deserve a beating." Xia Qi paused, looking at the three Hancock sisters with a hint of relief, "It's a good thing I came a little early, otherwise these three little girls..."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for saving our lives!" The three Hancock sisters immediately expressed their gratitude in unison.
"Your Majesty? Are they from the Kingdom of Women?" Rayleigh's eyebrows moved slightly, a little surprised.
"That's right. Contact Guroliosa and send them back to the Kingdom of Daughters."
“Hey!!! Your Majesty!!!”
“Arigato!!!”

Newspaper gulls carried the latest headlines and quickly spread the news of the attack on Mary Geoise to every corner of the world.
"Extra number! Extra number!"
"The Holy Land of Mary Geoise was attacked! Thousands of slaves were liberated!"
The crisp sound of selling newspapers rang out all over the world, shocking the whole world.
People couldn't wait to buy the newspaper, almost everyone had a copy.
The newspaper headline, in bold red letters, read: [A major event that shocked the world: The Holy Land of Mary Joa was attacked!!!]
People, with eyes full of shock, continued to read newspapers in their hands. The newspapers described the attack on the holy land, the tragic scene of the fire raging into the sky, and a shocking photo that took up most of the page.
[Amidst the blazing flames, a tall merman figure appeared, with a baby octopus-merman sitting on his shoulder.]
"Who is this man?"
"Is it the murloc? How dare he?"
"That's a Celestial Dragon! Is he crazy?!"
......
After reading the newspaper, people all over the world could not believe their eyes. Their faces showed various complex expressions such as shock, disbelief, excitement, admiration, etc., and they excitedly discussed this matter with people around them.
"Did you know that Mary Geoise was on fire?"
"What? This is the sacred place of the Celestial Dragons. How could it catch fire?"
"You don't know yet? This is super big news."
"It's true. I heard it was done by a fishman."
"Mercemen? That's disgusting."
"The most important thing is that many slaves have escaped. The newspaper said that if you capture those escaped slaves and that fishman, you can get a large reward."
"Really?"
......
As the newspaper spread, similar conversations were heard everywhere, and people all over the world were shocked.
Even Fishman Island, located 100,000 meters deep in the sea, received the news.
Dragon Palace
Neptune looked at the newspaper, his eyes showing both admiration for Tiger and worry about the future.
"Tiger really did it. From now on, Fishman Island's position will become more difficult."
Otohime's face was also filled with worry and sadness: "I don't know how Tiger and Merry are doing. I hope they can escape safely."
The young murlocs in Murloc Street were also very excited.
"That's amazing! You're worthy of being Boss Tiger!"
"Great! Big Brother taught those annoying Celestial Dragons a lesson!"
"Awesome! Boss Tiger is the hero of Fishman Island!"
"Boss Tiger is wanted by the World Government! We have to go after him!"
"Aaron and his gang are going to merge with Tiger from now on!"
"Let's go! Guys!"
......
Meli's cub looked too harmless and was not mentioned much in newspaper reports, so it did not attract much attention. The person that was discussed the most was Tiger.
But soon, two brand new wanted posters brought Meli's figure into everyone's attention.
"Public enemy of the World Government, most dangerous individual, Fishman Tiger, bounty: 230 million."
"Public enemy of the World Government, second most dangerous person, Mermaid Merry, bounty: 160 million."
Although Meli's bounty is 70 million lower than Tiger's, it is still astonishing enough.
"Does this little mermaid actually have such a high bounty?"
"This Tiger may not be so easy to catch, but this little mermaid is worth a try!"
......
On the deck of the Redfors
Gulishati took the newspaper and the new wanted poster from the mouth of the newspaper delivery seagull. When she saw the photo on the wanted poster, her eyes widened instantly.
Gulixiati, who has always been mature and steady, couldn't help but scream in shock.
"Uta! Shanks! Beckman! You, everyone, come here! Come and look at this wanted poster!"
"What's wrong?" When the others heard the shouting, they all came over curiously.
“Huh???”
“This…this is…”
The wanted posters for Tiger and Meli were passed from person to person, and without exception, everyone was stunned.
Jesus asked in disbelief, "Is this the same Merry we know?"
"Maybe it's just a namesake? Merry's an octopus, right?"
"No, no, no, no!" Uta pointed at the pink octopus tentacles in the photo and danced with excitement. "It's Meli! This is definitely Meli!"
"Why did Merry become like this?"
"That's not the point. The question is why is there a bounty on Merry? And the bounty is so high?"
"Look at this newspaper."
"Wow!" Everyone was stunned again.
Beckman's calm face also showed a rare excitement: "If this mermaid is really Merry, she has done something really great this time!"
"Merry suddenly disappeared. We were so worried that we almost searched all over the sea, but we didn't expect her to go to Marijoa."
"Wait, why is Meli in Marijoa?" Gulishati wiped the tears from her eyes. "Did she disappear this time and be abducted to Marijoa by these human traffickers?"
Snake nodded, frowning and agreeing, "It's very likely! She must have suffered a lot in the hands of the Celestial Dragons."
Laqilu comforted him, "However, Tiger is very powerful, and Merry is with him now. We can rest assured."
"I'm worried!" Gulishati slammed the side of the boat, her voice filled with worry. "Although Tiger is very powerful, they are now wanted by the World Government!"
Lakiru touched his nose awkwardly. "Ah, that's true. Merry and the others did something like that. The Celestial Dragons won't let them off easily."
Shanks smiled nonchalantly, "Why worry about being wanted by the World Government? Everyone here is wanted, and the bounty is quite high."
Wuta shouted a little aggrievedly: "But I...I don't have a reward!"
"Hahaha, Uta, you're still just a child."
"Merry is a child too!"
"Being wanted isn't a good thing."
"That's right, that's right, don't worry."
......
A huge pirate ship is sailing on the vast sea.
On the sail, the red sun logo shines brightly in the sunlight.
On the deck, many murlocs gathered together and were undergoing an initiation ceremony.
Tiger stood in front of the charcoal stove and said in a deep voice, "From now on, we will be the enemy of the world! Those who are prepared, please step forward."
"Roar—" The surrounding fishmen raised their hands in response, "We will always follow Brother Tiger!"
Those fishmen who were once slaves like Tiger had already been marked with the "Sky Dragon's Hoof" seal on their bodies. Now the ones who needed to perform the ceremony were the new members who hurried over from Fishman Island.
Although they are called new members, they are actually all loyal followers of Tiger. Familiar fishmen like Jinbe, Arlong, and Aladdin have always admired Tiger’s adventurous nature. Now they are all very excited to be able to leave Fish-Man Island and follow Tiger.
They were shirtless, revealing their muscular bodies, and walked forward one by one, having Tiger personally branded them with the mark of the sun.
"Sizzle~~" The air was filled with the smell of burnt flesh.
The fishmen gritted their teeth, enduring the severe pain, and no one uttered a groan.
As the branding was completed, many murlocs showed expressions of satisfaction and pride on their faces.
From now on, they and Brother Tiger are companions in the same boat!
Aladdin, wearing a bubble ring, stood by and applied a layer of red medicinal mud to the wound of each fish-man who had just been branded. This not only deepened the color of the mark, but also reduced inflammation and relieved pain.
After the pain in his chest subsided a little, Aaron suddenly caught a glimpse of Meli hiding at the cabin door. His brows instantly twisted into a knot, and his eyes were cold.
Just watching the red-hot iron plate fall on everyone, Meli felt as if her octopus legs were also aching. She only watched for a moment, then panickedly raised her hands to cover her eyes, not daring to look directly. But after a few seconds, she couldn't help but open her fingers again, staring wide-eyed and continuing to watch.
Seeing Meli's timid look, Aaron felt a strong sense of dissatisfaction in his heart.
This little mermaid who had accompanied her big brother to such a monumental feat was actually this timid and delicate little brat? Why was she worth a 160 million bounty?
When Aaron first saw the report about Tiger breaking into Mary Geoise and attacking the Celestial Dragons, he was very excited, and his admiration for Tiger instantly reached its peak.
Challenging the authority of the world's noble Celestial Dragons is a feat that many fishmen dream of doing but have never dared to do.
However, when Aaron saw the photo of Tiger with a little mermaid, his emotions immediately became complicated: Why didn't Tiger take him with him when he went to cause trouble in Mary Geoise? Instead, he brought this useless little octopus-merman cub that only covered its eyes in fear?
Aaron pursed his lips in disdain, then suddenly raised his voice and shouted towards the cabin: "Hey, why are you hiding there, little guy? It seems you haven't printed the sun logo yet? Come over and line up!"
