No kidding, even Rocks would have to offer me a cigarette.

The combined strength of these swarming pirates far surpasses that of the pirates who fought in the recent God Valley battle! In fact, it's by a significant margin!

Furthermore, this operation order includes the entire crew of the Rocks Pirates!

Every pirate who has even the slightest connection with the Rocks Pirates has received the order to assemble!

Even women like Miss Ba Jin, who claimed to be scientists but didn't actually have much fighting power, all followed the trend.

As for Shakky, who used to argue with Miss Bakin all the time, it was because after the God Valley Incident, she fell in love with Silvers Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates.

Therefore, they submitted their disembarkation requests in advance to Captain Rocks and Second Captain Rahu, and were not involved in this operation.

These are all the territories of the Rocks Pirates! Their total strength is a staggering 20!

This operation mobilized virtually everyone, regardless of age or gender. The sole purpose was to utterly drag the World Government, their arch-enemy, into the abyss!

At the scene, apart from the female pirates whom Rahu had specifically instructed to stay and take care of Enel, as well as the two little brats Mihawk and Crocodile, there were others present.

Everyone is waiting.

Captain Rocks D. Giebeck, the number one captain, and Rahu, the number two captain, whose strength is even comparable to Rocks!

"Hahahaha! This is truly exhilarating! Although I can't beat that Rocks guy, if I can leave a significant mark on history, that will be enough to prove that I, Golden Lion Shiki, am an unparalleled legendary pirate!"

Standing beside Whitebeard and the others, Golden Lion Shiki curled a cruel sneer at the corner of his mouth, revealing the aura unique to great pirates.

"Kurarararararara, Shiki~ You can't beat Rocks, but do you think you can beat Rahu? You're not qualified to be a legend~"

Standing to the side, Whitebeard, gripping the Heavy Cloud Cutter tightly, calmly reminded Golden Lion Shiki not to be too arrogant.

He knew that bastard Shiki all too well.

All he thinks about is building his own flying pirate crew and becoming the new overlord of the seas.

However, they lacked the necessary skills and spent all their time scheming to skip work and poach the team leaders.

Someone like Rocks was able to keep the Golden Lion alive for so long.

That's quite magnanimous!

Aside from Whitebeard, who was always bickering and arguing with Golden Lion, the other squad leaders, including John and Wang Zhi, remained silent and did not speak.

Since the end of the God Valley battle, the three of them have undergone a period of recuperation, and their injuries have basically fully recovered.

However, this joint operation is completely different from the previous God Valley War.

Directly engaging in a war with the World Government, which has been established for over 800 years, is something that these captains, whose strength is among the lowest, are unwilling to see.

During the last war, the three of them were almost beaten to death by the God's Knights!

If it weren't for a slight accident at that time that revealed Captain Rocks's great strength, their entire crew might have been wiped out there!

Therefore, the captains, whose strength was slightly lower and who could only barely contend with the Admirals, the highest combat power of the Marine Headquarters, did not have such great ambition!

Of course, this is only because they, as high-ranking pirates, are more afraid of death.

As for the pirates at the bottom level, they have long been filled with passionate and crazy anticipation!

They fantasize about becoming the new Celestial Dragons after following Captain Rocks to destroy the World Government!

At the scene, more than 20 pirate soldiers were noisy and excited, each one brandishing their swords and shouting!

"Kill! Kill! Kill!!"

"Kill all those damned Celestial Dragons! We will follow in the footsteps of Captain Rocks and Captain Rahu and destroy this damned world!!!"

"No one can stop the Rocks Pirates! We will surely win! Let those hypocrites go to hell!!!"

After the clamor of shouts and wartime slogans from the crowd subsided.

Suddenly, thick black smoke billowed and boiled from the Rocks Pirates' main battleship, the Sword of Xebec!

Around 20 pirates were present, and countless eyes were fixed on this dark area that exuded a strong aura of dominance!

Rocks' figure slowly rose from the black smoke, and the terrifying domineering aura that he couldn't control emanated from his body caused tens of thousands of pirates to break out in a cold sweat.

"ROCKS! ROCKS! ROCKS!"

Feeling the oppressive atmosphere, countless pirates continued to shout with fervor.

The atmosphere at the scene seemed to have reached its peak!

Meanwhile, Rahu, the second captain of the Rocks Pirates, sat quietly on the deck without showing himself.

Beside him closely followed Kaido, who was incredibly young but already quite powerful.

"Brother Luo, aren't you planning to go and show your face at such a big event? This is the best time to win people's hearts!"

Kaido looked at Rahu, who remained unmoved, with some confusion.

In his view, at such a moment when everyone was gathered, Captain Rahu, whose power was on par with Rocks', should have made an appearance.

Otherwise, it would seem like a waste to have him as captain.

Sitting in a chair, smoking a noble cigarette that Rocks had specially brought, Rahu slowly exhaled a smoke ring after listening to Kaido's words.

I must say, the cigarettes sent by these countries under the protection of the Rocks Pirates are really good.

The taste is somewhat similar to Wang Yuan's brand of Furongwang cigarettes, but the flavor is richer and more mellow.

"What's the point of having such a big reputation?"

The famous philosopher Monkey D. Karp once said that if you want freedom, you don't need such a high position.

"Let Rocks handle these kinds of public appearances."

Luo Hou spoke in a calm tone, showing no concern whatsoever for fame or anything like that.

Kaido, somewhat bewildered, stood there for a moment, lost in thought, without reacting.

He pressed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray to extinguish it.

Rahu glanced at Kaido, who still didn't understand, and after thinking for a moment, whispered a warning.

"The World Government has been established for over 800 years; it's not so easily destroyed."

"Just remember, if things go wrong, immediately transform into your dragon form on the red clay road and fly away quickly!"

"Deep within the Holy Land of Mary Geoise lies a great terror unknown even to Lianluox!"

Luo Hou looked intently at Lox, who was still conducting war mobilization.

As someone who had transmigrated from another world, he naturally knew that the true power holders of the World Government were not the Five Elders, who claimed to hold the highest authority in the world.

The one who truly controls the entire world, the government, is someone who has appeared in the comic book series for 20 years but has never shown their true power...

Lord Im!

...

Chapter 108 Do you know how much a bottle of rum costs these days?

"My men! Today! Our Rocks Pirates have gathered a full 20 powerful pirates!"

"What is our goal? It is to bring those self-proclaimed gods off the stage!"

"And from this day forward, those of us who survive will take their place and become true gods!"

"I know that a large portion of you were not pirates before! You were civilians from countries protected by the Rocks Pirates!"

"Because of the World Government's exorbitant Celestial Scripture pressure, your country couldn't support such an output, so the entire country joined our Rocks Pirates!"

"However, that's all in the past! From now on, you will be exempt from having the same status and rights!"

"The Rocks Pirates don't need you toil for 12 hours straight for just enough Berries to get by! We're going to take back our rights, gold, and status!"

"You've all noticed, haven't you? In recent years, commodity prices around the world have skyrocketed... to the point where ordinary people can't even afford to eat!"

"Do you know how many peggs a bottle of rum costs in those countries controlled by the World Government using the Celestial Gold?"

"40 Berries! That amount of money, converted to coins, wouldn't even fill a single carriage!"

"Who is responsible for all of this?"

Standing atop the high-rise building, Locke shouted loudly, exuding an aura of dominance.

"They're Celestial Dragons!!!!"

"They destroyed our country's economy! That's why we've become such wretched people! If it weren't for Captain Rocks, we might still be begging those nobles for their meager wages and barely enough food to survive!!"

"Give the order, Captain Rocks!"

"Let's pull those damned Celestial Dragons down with us and let them experience what it's like to work 14 hours a day and still not have enough to eat!"

"We also want to eat reasonably priced bread and drink a cheap rum!!!"

"Kill all the Celestial Dragons!!!"

As Rocks shouted, the more than 20 pirates on the scene instantly became excited, their faces filled with excitement as they brandished their blades, eager to fight to the death!

Meanwhile, the Golden Lion and the others beside him also wore expectant smiles.

To them, Rocks was a crazy guy!

But isn't this the kind of crazy life that pirates want?

If life is just about working day and night in a mundane way and handing over your meager salary to the Celestial Dragons, then why bother becoming a pirate?

Moreover, this time, their target is the World Government!

If successful, their status as pirates will be directly changed!

This unprecedented wealth fueled the already ambitious pirates' expectations to the extreme!

Of all the people present, only Rahu and Whitebeard seemed completely unconvinced.

Rahu only wanted to kill the Celestial Dragons; all other trivial matters were completely unimportant.

As for Whitebeard, he had long wanted to leave the Rocks Pirates and form a crew bound together by family ties.

He participated in this final war simply because he wanted to repay Captain Rocks.

After all, although Rocks wasn't exactly known for his ethical behavior, the Rocks Pirates did protect his home island, Sphinx Island.

Both logically and emotionally, Whitebeard believed that he should help this guy complete one last battle before leaving the Rocks Pirates.
