One Piece: We already have the Four Gods, so my Six Paths Sage is reasonable, right?

"You ruined my amulet, provoked me, and insulted me! You're utterly lawless!"

As soon as the golden lion's angry roar subsided, a thunderous boom echoed across the ground, sending up billowing dust once more.

The sand, gravel, and soil that had been thrown into the air by the impact fell back down like a torrential rain.

Inside the large pit.

Garin Saint's body had been cut into three pieces by the Golden Lion. His upper body, waist, and legs were scattered in different places at the bottom of the pit, and black mist surged at the cuts, trying to reconnect the broken pieces.

However, under the suppression of Conqueror's Haki, the recovery speed was significantly affected.

The black mist surged out and was pushed back in, surged out and was pushed back in again.

"Damn it, I'll never let you get away with this!" Garin Sei, lying in the pit, was still roaring defiantly, though he seemed reluctant to acknowledge his current predicament.

Golden Lion held twin swords, his gaze darkening slightly as he looked at him, dark red arcs of electricity crackling on the blades.

What kind of weird stuff are these? They've been hacked to pieces like that, and they're still not dead?

"What bad luck. If only that bastard Ron were here. Strange people are the best at dealing with strange people," the Golden Lion muttered to himself.

Hearing the Golden Lion's words, Garin suddenly burst into maniacal laughter: "Save your breath, you insect. I will not die; I have the protection of God."

"Go to hell!" The Golden Lion brandished his twin swords again, launching another slash.

"Swish swish swish~~~!"

The blade flashed repeatedly at the bottom of the pit.

Each strike left a dark red arc in its wake.

Garin's body multiplied into several more pieces amidst the flashes of light.

However, this time, Garin was clearly much weaker.

"Shout? Aren't you very good at shouting?" The anger in the Golden Lion's heart had not subsided.

"Hehehehehehe~~~" Garin Sheng gave a weak, cold laugh, adding intermittently, "So what if I'm temporarily no match for you? You win once, I revive once. You win countless times, I revive countless times."

The golden lion tilted his head slightly, his expression changing slightly. He stared at the fragments at the bottom of the pit, slowly being enveloped by the black mist, for a while before speaking: "Good. Very good. You've got guts."

Garin remained silent. Although his recovery was limited by the suppression of his domineering aura, it wasn't impossible; it was just a matter of time.

Soon, his condition began to improve.

The shattered limbs were slowly drawn together by the black mist, reassembled, and eventually returned to their original state of being only two pieces.

"Hehehe~~~" The golden lion suddenly burst into laughter.

Garin remained silent, unsure what was wrong with the Golden Lion again.

The next instant, Golden Lion grabbed Garin's hair with one hand and his leg with the other, and his whole body was lifted into the air.

"You insect, what do you want to do???"

"Hehehe, professional matters should of course be left to professionals."

"Commander?"

Below, the other members of the Knights of God noticed the anomaly and shouted loudly.

The golden lion wasted no time; he immediately flew swiftly toward the enormous thousand-armed Buddha statue in the distance.

Mary Geoise.

Pangu City.

Inside the magnificent hall.

The five elders sat on the sofa, not uttering a word the entire time, their eyes fixed on the Den Den Mushi on the table.

This Den Den Mushi is reporting on the situation in God Valley anytime, anywhere.

Suddenly, the five elders trembled.

Im's voice resonated deep within their hearts.

"Hmm... I sensed something was wrong."

The five elders' gazes all darkened.

Saint Satan immediately hung up the Den Den Mushi on the table before slowly speaking, "I apologize, Lord Im. There's been a problem in God Valley. Saint Korin was defeated by Shiki of the Rocks Pirates."

Im did not respond.

The magnificent hall fell silent once more.

Just then, the Den Den Mushi that had just been hung up rang again.

"Brubru~~~"

"Brubru~~~"

The five elders looked at each other in bewilderment.

Ultimately, it was Satan who reached out and connected the call.

"Lord Five Elders, the Roger Pirates have been spotted in the sea!"

"Okay. I understand. Don't call again for now." Satan said, then hung up the Den Den Mushi again.

"The Roger Pirates?"

Im's voice rang out again.

"Hmm... I remember you guys said it was the pirate crew that consumed and awakened Nika's form, right?"

"Hmm, I never expected that Nika, who hadn't awakened despite our intervention for eight hundred years, would awaken again in this era," Nasujiro said in a deep voice.

"hehe...."

Im chuckled softly. He wasn't surprised at all that someone in this era had awakened Nika; he had already foreseen it in his dream.

"Lord Im, shall we depart now?" Saint Satan asked.

"No rush. Let's wait and see what Joey Boy is up to. If he hasn't joined forces with the David family, we can ignore them for now. Our goal this time is to deal with David. Or, perhaps, add Ron to the mix." Im's voice slowly rang out.

"Yes, Lord Im."

.........

Meanwhile, in the Valley of the Gods.

Thick smoke and dust enveloped most of the island.

The battlefield was covered with countless fist-shaped craters created by the Thousand-Hand Buddha statue.

The pit was filled with meat patties, most of which were from the Navy, but some were from other pirate crews that had just landed on the island.

Ron remained standing on the forehead of the Thousand-Armed Buddha, his posture relaxed.

Below, Garp and Zephyr lay in different large craters.

Both of them had their eyes closed, and their facial expressions were different.

Garp's brows furrowed slightly, looking somewhat unnatural.

Zefa remained calm and expressionless.

As for Sengoku, he had been hammered back to his normal form from his Buddha form and was quite injured; he looked like he was about to collapse even when he stood up.

At this moment, Sengoku raised his head, his gaze piercing through the smoke and dust, landing on the forehead of the Thousand-Armed Buddha statue, preparing to receive Ron's second attack.

"Ron!"

Suddenly, at that moment, a huge azure dragon flew over from mid-air.
