One Piece: Sky Dragon

Cassius doesn't even know who he is now, but that's not the point. What matters is that Cassius has already made his goal clear: to conquer the world!

Maybe this isn't Cassius's dream, and maybe it isn't Bardros's dream either. But Cassius understands that, no matter whose dream it is, there's no doubt he will make it a reality.

Duality, the two of us are already one person.

Bardros's body, Cassius's memory, and both of their dreams coming true!

"Saint Bardros, the Fish-Man you asked me to find has been located. Please come with me. If you want him to come to you, I can drag him over," the Celestial Dragon guard reported respectfully.

"I know, I'll just go over there," Cassius replied, immediately stepping out and following the guard to a construction site, where another Celestial Dragon villa was being built.

"Saint Bardros, please allow me to explain. Fish-Men have characteristics of both humans and fish. They are different from mermaids. Their upper bodies resemble fish, yet they can walk upright. They breathe with their lungs on land and through gills in the water. Fishmen are born with more than ten times the strength of ordinary humans, but because of their ugly appearance, they are classified as monsters."

Although the guard's introduction to the Fish-Men was detailed, his tone sounded off. Sure enough, they were all racists. It was time to reconsider his view on the supremacy of the Celestial Dragons.

But Cassius knew that now was not the time to argue.

"Which one is Fisher Tiger?" Cassius asked.

The guard immediately pointed to a man with round eyes, salmon-pink skin, a flat nose, wide lips with slight peach fuzz, a thick dark beard and sideburns, and a spiky dorsal fin on the back of his head, sprouting from under his long, curly hair.

Cassius saw Tiger walking toward the other side of the villa, holding a large stone with a depressed look on his face.

"There is no need for him to work anymore. From today on, he is mine," Cassius's voice was firm and unquestionable. The guard did not dare to disobey, so they had no choice but to call the slave over.

Tiger's chest was emblazoned with the symbol of slaves, the Dragon's Hoof.

Cassius looked at him and said, "From now on, you are my... person."

Tiger raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he had heard something amusing from Cassius. He squinted his eyes and, trying to confirm it, asked directly, "Aren't I a slave?"

"How dare you, a mere slave, talk back!?" A sharp snap sounded as the guard's whip struck Tiger, but he didn't even blink.

Cassius smirked slightly but didn't want to make it too obvious. He simply nodded and said to the guard, "Alright, I'm heading back. Let him be my guard for the journey."

The guard became anxious upon hearing this. "I'm sorry, Saint Bardros! However, although these individuals have been strictly trained, sometimes they may not fully obey. I..."

Cassius raised his hand, signaling for him to say no more.

"Do you think I will be in danger? In this Holy Land, Marie Geois?" Cassius's extremely confident tone made the guard feel a little uncertain.

That's a Fish-Man, with ten times the strength of an ordinary person. Why isn't Saint Bardros nervous at all? Is it possible that his rumored Conqueror's Haki is actually true? Could Saint Bardros be the future leader of the Celestial Dragons?

At this point, the guard could no longer refute and could only allow Cassius to take charge. Facing a master with such an overbearing presence, who would dare to defy him?

If something were to really happen to Saint Bardros, the guard would just claim that Saint Bardros released his Haki and knocked him out.

Cassius walked forward confidently and boldly, with Tiger following closely behind. The only restriction was a chain binding Tiger's hands. There were no guards around. Cassius appeared young and weak.

This is a great opportunity!

A glimmer of hope surged in Tiger's heart. He had been captured as a slave for a year, living in despair every day. Now, he had an excellent opportunity. He was a Fish-Man! As long as he could catch the young Celestial Dragon in front of him and threaten him, and then jump into the sea, no one in the world could catch him!

"Do you want to be free, Mr. Tiger?"

Cassius suddenly asked, confusing Tiger. It wasn't because Cassius asked if he wanted to be free, but because he actually called him "Mr."?

He had never met such a polite Celestial Dragon before.

Is it possible that he is not a Celestial Dragon? No, no. The clothes he wore were the exclusive attire of the Celestial Dragons and couldn't be fake.

Tiger was shocked. The Celestial Dragons he had encountered over the past year had all been extremely rude and narcissistic. They were simply a combination of power and fools. When something polite suddenly came out of a Celestial Dragon's mouth, Tiger felt a mix of confusion and discomfort.

Before Tiger could collect his thoughts, Cassius turned around, looked at him, and said, "I can give you freedom, but judging by your current strength, the road to freedom will be long."

"What do you mean?" Tiger replied, still unsure of Cassius's intentions.

But Cassius turned around and continued walking forward.

"I have a big ambition, Mr. Tiger. One that might be too big for most. But maybe, just maybe, you can help me achieve it. I want to conquer the world!" Cassius glanced at Tiger, and in that moment, Tiger realized exactly what Cassius had in mind.

"Conquer the world?" Tiger questioned, his voice tinged with skepticism. Although Cassius appeared weak now, his confidence was undeniable, the kind that only the truly powerful possessed.

To conquer the world, it was a dream many had, but few dared to pursue.

Tiger once harbored such arrogant thoughts himself, but as he grew older, he learned just how vast the world truly was. To conquer it, he realized, one needed immense power right from the start.

However, what puzzled Tiger was that the Celestial Dragons were already the masters of the world. So why would Cassius, one of them, have such ambitious thoughts?

Tiger's mind was filled with questions, and Cassius could clearly see what he was thinking.

"I don't want to share this world with anyone. There can only be one king, and that king will be me!" Cassius said this with a calm confidence.

And this shocked Tiger even more. How could someone with such ambition be cultivated in such a luxurious environment?

The Celestial Dragons may not be as simple as he had imagined.

"I need your power, Tiger, understand?" Cassius continued. "Because I don't want to trigger a world war. I hope to conquer the world in a more peaceful way. Therefore, I need people from all walks of life and races in the world to unite, all led by me. This is my plan, very simple, right?"

Cassius gently laid out the truth about his plan, while Tiger fell into deep thought. If he truly joined this Celestial Dragon's scheme, there would certainly be those who would call him a lackey of the Celestial Dragons. But this Celestial Dragon appeared different from the others.

"You can call me Cassius. If you're worried about what others will say, you can add 'Your Highness' before it."

"Yes, Your Highness Cassius." Tiger was impressed by Cassius's charisma, especially since he hadn't included the title "Saint" in his name.
