One Piece: The system is only activated after leaving the Navy.

Tiger felt a surge of joy upon seeing Luo Tian's sudden arrival.

However, in stark contrast to Tiger's mood, Luo Tian's face appeared quite gloomy, even carrying a hint of anger.

"If Jinbe hadn't told me, were you planning to die here today?"

Luo Tian said coldly, his words revealing his dissatisfaction and concern about Tiger's reckless behavior.

After hearing Luo Tian's rebuke, Tiger silently lowered his head and made no response.

He himself knew that if Luo Tian hadn't arrived in time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Seeing that Tiger remained silent, Luo Tian said nothing more and turned to look at the nearby naval forces.

"Forget it, I'll give you a good scolding later. Now's not the time. Let's deal with these problems first."

Just as Luo Tian was talking to Tiger, the naval soldiers also realized that the newcomer was none other than Luo Tian, ​​who had been missing for a long time.

They then hurriedly sent emergency requests for support to the Navy Headquarters.

Luo Tian naturally heard the navy calling for reinforcements. A slight, contemptuous smile appeared on his lips as he said dismissively:

"Let's see if you guys can hold out until reinforcements arrive."

Before he finished speaking, Luo Tian's figure flickered and instantly transformed into a gigantic candle dragon, thousands of meters long.

The giant dragon soared and danced in the air, its enormous body blotting out the sky and inspiring awe.

Immediately afterwards, the Candle Dragon swung its thick, powerful tail, lifting Tiger up and throwing him onto its back.

Immediately, a powerful whirlwind suddenly formed around the giant dragon that Luo Tian had transformed into.

This whirlwind gradually formed a towering tornado, sweeping towards the navy with overwhelming force.

In an instant, all the naval soldiers were easily scattered by the terrifying tornado and were completely unable to resist it.

After easily defeating the navy, Luo Tian carried Tiger and quickly flew to the ship's docking location.

At this moment, the members of the Sun Pirates stared in disbelief at the giant dragon that had suddenly appeared in the sky, their faces filled with shock.

Jinbe, however, recognized the dragon as Luo Tian, ​​only much larger than the dragon from Fishman Island. When Jinbe then saw that Tiger was riding on the dragon's back, he excitedly shouted to his companions:

"Don't be afraid, everyone. This is our ally, Boss Tiger is back!"

Upon hearing this, the members of the Sun Pirates breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, Tiger jumped off Luo Tian's back and landed steadily on the deck.

At the same time, Luo Tian also retracted his Candle Dragon form and returned to his human appearance.

However, the moment Tiger landed, a wave of intense pain washed over him.

He was already seriously injured, and he had managed to hold on until now entirely thanks to his indomitable willpower.

At that moment, when he finally returned to the crew, the tension in his heart suddenly eased, and he felt as if all his strength had been drained away, collapsing limply to the ground.

Upon seeing this, Jinbe was alarmed and hurriedly called for the ship's doctor to come and treat him.

Soon, the ship's doctor rushed over, and after a tense examination, shook his head with a grave expression:

"The situation is not optimistic. Tiger has lost too much blood. If he doesn't receive a blood transfusion in time, I'm afraid..."

Upon hearing this, everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Fortunately, the naval ship happened to have a suitable blood bank—human blood.

However, just when everyone thought they saw a glimmer of hope, Tiger, who had just been unconscious, woke up as if in a final burst of energy, but unexpectedly refused to accept human blood.

"Don't give me human blood. I can no longer love humans."

Then Tiger began to shed tears, preparing to confess to everyone as he lay dying.

“I was once a slave.”

The members of the Sun Pirates were shocked by Tiger's words. Arlong then asked, "Big brother, what exactly happened between you and the humans?"

Luo Tian stood quietly beside Tiger, looking at his weak yet determined appearance, and said angrily:

"I don't care about any of that, you just need to survive."

Faced with Luo Tian's scolding, Tiger smiled slightly, looked at Luo Tian, ​​raised one hand to stop Luo Tian from forcibly stopping him from receiving the blood transfusion, and then slowly turned his head, looking at the ceiling.

"I once had high hopes for humanity and longed to live in peace with mermaids. But reality has repeatedly made me despair. Perhaps this is my fate. I wanted to achieve harmonious coexistence between mermaids and humans, but in the end, I will die at the hands of humans."

At this point, Tiger's eyes dimmed somewhat.

"But what can truly change things is the next generation, like Kelra, who know nothing. So in the end, I urge everyone not to say anything to the fish-people on the island, whether it's about the tragedy that happened to us or their anger towards humans."

Tiger looked at Luo Tian one last time.

"Luo Tian, ​​thank you for saving me. I'm so happy to see you one last time."

After saying his last words to Luo Tian, ​​Tiger's wide eyes slowly closed, his breathing gradually stopped, and he finally breathed his last.

And so, this hero who had bravely and fearlessly liberated slaves and led the Sun Pirates across the seas left this world forever.

Seeing Tiger lying there lifeless, the members of the Sun Pirates were devastated. Unable to contain their overwhelming grief, they burst into tears.

The sound of crying echoed throughout the room.

At this moment, Luo Tian walked out of the room with a gloomy expression.

As he walked to the door, he suddenly noticed a small figure standing there quietly.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Kerla, who had somehow managed to escape from the village and board the boat.

She was gripping the door frame tightly, her body trembling slightly.

Those big eyes were filled with terror and helplessness, and tears rolled down her cheeks like beads from a broken string.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Kera looked up and met Luo Tian's gaze.

She looked at Luo Tian with tears streaming down her face, then immediately tore off her skirt and began to scrub herself on the floor, her voice trembling with sobs:

"Big Brother Tiger...did I die because of me? I'm so sorry...I'm so sorry...it's all my fault, I've caused you all trouble! I won't cry...please don't kill me, I'll help you with your work."

As she spoke, she cried even harder, her thin shoulders trembling, a sight that broke one's heart.

However, Luo Tian did not say a word in the face of Kella's self-blame and apology.

He silently stepped forward, gently picked up Kerra, and tenderly embraced her in his broad arms.

Luo Tian gently stroked Kelar's hair, feeling her trembling and fear, and whispered:

“This is not your fault, child. The real guilty ones are those who are prejudiced, those who harbor deep-seated racism.”
