Luffy and the others continued sailing toward Alabasta, while Jack flew alone toward Mary Geoise.
When he got closer towards Red Line, he activating his illusion ability, rendered himself invisible and arrived within minutes.
Hovering in the air, Jack gazed at the grand castle below. It was undeniably beautiful and majestic. But beneath that beauty, he knew the truth, this place was rotten to the core.
They are too many corruption happen here, human being are not worth at all.
Not all of the slaves here were ex pirates or criminals. Majority of them were innocent, captured simply because they were beautiful, or unlucky enough to catch the attention of the World Nobles or some had been taken by slave trader and sold like livestock.
"I really hate this place," Jack muttered, his eyes darkening.
He flew deeper into the castle, heading toward where he believed Imu might reside. However, after searching several chambers, he found nothing.
"Am I in the wrong place…?" Jack whispered to himself.
Then before he could sneak further, he heard a scream echoed through the corridor.
"No… please! Not my daughter!" a woman cried, her voice filled with despair.
"Hehehe… scum like you don't have the right to refuse me," another voice replied, dripping with arrogance.
Jack expression turned cold, he instantly knew what gonna happen. This is Mary Geoise the place where the World Nobles lived.
In an instant, he activated his speedster and dashed toward the source of the sound.
What he saw made his blood run cold.
A man dressed in a white suit, wearing a glass helmet like an astronaut, stood before a trembling woman and her young daughter. The girl couldn't have been more than three years old.
The woman was clearly not a pirate, her appearance alone made that obvious. Most likely, she had been kidnapped and sold while she was still pregnant.
Jack clenched his fists, he couldn't hold back anymore.
The moment the man raised his whip again, Jack appeared and caught it mid-air with his exoskeleton-covered hand.
"You…!" the man who just mocked the daughter and mother, Saint Rosward pointed his finger at him in shock.
The surrounding Cipher Pol agents immediately drew their guns. Their eyes widened as they recognized Jack F Corrie, the man who had recently appeared in the newspapers and injured Superme Commander of Holy Knight.
Without hesitation, some of them fired.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Jack didn't even move.
The bullets struck his body and fell harmlessly to the ground.
His Vibranium suit absorbed the impact completely, while his enhanced physiology made his body even tougher than steel. Without advanced Armament Haki or Ryuo, there was no way they could even scratch him.
"Impossible…"
"It didn't hurt him at all!"
"Protect Saint Rosward!"
"Call the Holy Knights!"
Alarms began to blare throughout the area, signaling the presence of an intruder.
Jack gaze shifted back to the man in front of him.
Saint Rosward, a name he recognized instantly.
A man known for his obsession with beautiful women and his cruel enjoyment of torturing them. Someone Jack had already placed on his must-kill list if he ever encountered him.
Without another word, Jack formed a sword and shield out of cosmic energy.
Then, instantly he moved in blur.
In a single second, every Cipher Pol agent guarding Saint Rosward lost their heads.
Their bodies collapsed one by one, blood painting the pristine floor.
Saint Rosward eyes widened in pure terror.
For the first time in his life he is afraid.
"Don't come to me," saint Rosward in pure terror.
[ENEMY APPAROACHING THIS PLACE IN 30 SECONDS]
[ENEMY WITH A HAKI COME IN 20 SECONDS]
He didn't want to waste this time, decided to bring the woman and her daughter, and take Saint Rosward infront of him to another place.
When the reinforcement arrived they saw a corpse littered on the ground.
"What happen here?" asked Sommers.
"Sommers sama, there is Den Den Mushi there," pointed Cipher Pol agent.
"Take the footage," ordered Sommers.
Aokiji come while inspecting the aftermath.
"You are late," commanted Sommers.
***
Within minutes, Jack arrived near Reverse Mountain.
He brought along Saint Rosward… as well as the woman and her daughter he had rescued.
"You're safe now," Jack said calmly to both of them.
The mother trembled, her eyes still filled with fear. But she could tell this man, dressed in a black combat suit with white stripes, was the one who had saved them.
"Thank you…" she said softly.
"Don't worry," Jack replied.
He raised his hand and a gentle golden light enveloped both the mother and her daughter.
Their wounds began to heal instantly.
The Celestial Dragon hoof marks on their bodies disappeared without a trace. While his healing couldn't fully restore their malnourished condition, Jack knew hat with proper care, especially from Chopper, they would recover completely.
"This…" the woman touched her body in disbelief. Even the scars on her daughter had vanished, as if they had never been hurt before. "Thank you… truly…"
The little girl, who had been trembling earlier, now looked at Jack with wide, admiring eyes. She didn't fully understand what had happened but she knew this man had saved them.
Then before they could talk furter.
"Hey, you…!" Saint Rosward voice broke the moment. "If you dare do anything to me, I'll have an Admiral hunt you down!"
Jack froze, he had almost forgotten about him.
Slowly, Jack turned his head, his eyes filled with cold hatred.
"You… dare to threaten me?" Jack voice dropped, sending chills down Rosward's spine.
Rosward face turned pale.
A second later... He wet himself.
"P-Please… I'm sorry! If you want gold, I'll give you gold! If you want women, I can give you as many as you want!" Rosward begged desperately.
Jack expression didn't change.
"I only want one thing," he said quietly.
"You… to die."
A golden sword formed in his hand.
Slash!
Rosward arms were severed instantly.
"AAAAARGHHHH!! IT HURTS!!" Rosward screamed, collapsing onto the ground.
For the first time in his life… he felt real pain.
Jack stared at him, silent for a moment.
'Killing him would be too easy…'
A darker thought crossed his mind.
Without hesitation.... Slash.
Rosward third leg was cut off.
Jack eyes remained cold. "Now… you won't be able to hurt anyone ever again especially woman."
Rosward's screams echoed across the area.
However, Jack didn't let him die from blood loss. He used a small amount of his healing power, just enough to close the wounds and stop the bleeding.
He wanted Rosward to live and to suffer.
As Jack turned away, he noticed something attached to Rosward's body, a tag.
Curious, he scanned it.
"A GPS tracker…" Jack muttered.
That meant he didn't need to bring him back to Mary Geoise.
The Navy would find him eventually.
Jack glanced once more at the broken man… then vanished.
Moments later, Jack returned to the Going Merry.
He gently handed the mother and her daughter over to Chopper.
"Take care of them," he said.
Chopper nodded seriously. "Leave it to me!"
"Wait Jack, you wanted to go again?" asked Luffy.
"Yeah, my Job is not yet settled and I just come here because I found them in critical condition," said Jack.
Without wasting another second, Jack disappeared again. heading straight back toward Mary Geoise.
Meanwhile… Near Reverse Mountain, a certain figure had witnessed everything.
He is the reporter from Big News Morgans.
His eyes gleamed with excitement as he clutched his Den Den Mushi camera and told everything to his boss.
"KUHAHAHAHA!! This is HUGE!!" Morgans laughed wildly.
"A Celestial Dragon… defeated… humiliated… and left alive?!"
His feathers trembled with thrill.
"This will shake the entire world!!"
Without hesitation, he began preparing the headline.
"THE FALL OF A CELESTIAL DRAGON - JACK F CORRIE ATTACK!"
And just like that... the storm began.
