The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

After a brief silence, Sengoku on the other end of the phone gave a helpless reply.

As a naval admiral at the time, he initially only received orders to send out personnel to protect the Celestial Dragons on their "school trip".

He did not inquire about the specific generals or the number of troops to be dispatched.

Now it seems that those naval officers who were sent out to protect the Celestial Dragons have long since become their loyal dogs.

Otherwise, the news should have been reported to headquarters when they were hunting down the civilians of God Valley.

"Someone did leak information to the Navy before, but it was very confusing, and they disappeared before they finished speaking."

Finally, Sengoku added.

He speculated that the message was likely relayed to Navy Headquarters by civilians, but was discovered and silenced by CP agents.

As a result, the Navy Headquarters, upon receiving the message, did not take it seriously and simply ignored it.

"Garp, please don't do anything reckless!"

Remembering his old friend's character, Zhan Guo quickly gave him some instructions.

To put it bluntly, even if he and the Navy Headquarters knew beforehand, so what?

This has nothing to do with military force; rather, the essence of the navy is to serve the world government.

Everything must be based on the position and interests of the world government.

The world government is the greatest "justice"!

"We'll see."

Faced with his friend's advice, Garp hung up the phone with a gloomy face.

He wasn't as quick-witted as the Warring States period, nor did he understand the power priorities between the military and the government.

I am deeply disappointed with those obedient loyal dogs within the Navy.

Clang

Just then, the sound of metal clashing against metal resounded through the sky, and the towering mountain behind the town was visibly split in two by a single sword strike!

"That domineering aura... it's Rocks!"

Karp's eyes lit up, and he rushed over.

He didn't want to capture Rocks; he just wanted to know who could fight Rocks to this extent.

Or perhaps he's feeling lost right now and is just instinctively trying to do something to make amends.

at the same time

John also arrived in town. His gaze swept over Roger and Karp, who were running one after the other, before his attention was drawn to a creature that snaked its way up into the clouds from the side.

"Moo!"

A deep yet powerful dragon's roar pierced the clouds and split rocks, accompanied by rolling thunder that spread throughout the entire island.

Zoan-type Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form!

"Do Devil Fruits choose their masters?"

John thought of himself and his expression became somewhat strange.

In a sense, he is now the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit itself.

So, who chose whom?

"Pah, pah, pah! Now is not the time to think about these things."

John quickly set off, taking a huge semi-circular route around Karp's right side.

Within the "mind network," he heard that the voice directly in front of Karp's target was Rocks, and that there were two more voices some distance behind Rocks.

It must be Rocks' wife and children, Alice and Teach!

It should be that Rocks has stopped the "Knights of God" led by Figarando and Garin, buying time for his wife and children to escape.

John's task was to bypass Karp, Garin, and the others who were blocking his way, and find Alice and Teach behind them.

Then, using Alice and Teach as bait, they forced Rocks to leave immediately!

"Logically speaking, now that Lox has bought himself some time, why is he still dawdling and refusing to leave?"

During the flight, John suddenly realized a serious problem.

"Could it be that Lox embezzled the money?"

The more John thought about it, the more convinced he became that it was true.

Lox had seen Im before in the "Flower Room" of Mary Geoise, and when Im possessed Satan, his unique aura was immediately recognized.

Rocks stayed not because he couldn't leave, but because he wanted to kill Im in God Valley once and for all!

"You were greedy!"

Before long, John arrived at the back of the valley, near the coastline.

I also saw a woman running around carrying a naturally curly-haired child...

Meanwhile, off the coastline, rows of warships were anchored, their decks filled with panicked Celestial Dragons.

"Excuse me, gentlemen."

Alice had just heard the sound when, in the blink of an eye, a purple-haired man appeared out of nowhere right in front of her.

She recognized the other person; he was a member of her husband's pirate crew.

But she didn't relax; instead, she became even more vigilant.

"Captain John, what are you trying to do?"

"Me? I want to struggle and resist."

John smiled apologetically at Alice and Teach, who was in her arms.

Immediately, a purple electric current swept out, enveloping the mother and child.

Chapter 12 No, you won't.

"Time is running out. Please forgive my offense. I will explain later."

John, carrying Alice in his left hand and grabbing Teach in his right, floated up and took off toward the battlefield in the valley.

Alice could only glare angrily at John, speechless.

A strange electric current spread throughout her body, paralyzing her muscles, bones, and even nerves, rendering her completely unable to move.

Poor Teach couldn't even cry.

John glanced at Teach briefly and couldn't help but smack his lips.

"How can this kid be so ugly!"

To be honest, although Rocks wasn't particularly good-looking, he was definitely not ugly; on the contrary, he had a kind of arrogant and unruly air about him.

Alice, on the other hand, is a classic beauty with bright, large eyes and the unique boldness and courage of a female pirate.

But how come it turned into this horrible mess when it happened to Teach...

When Alice heard John mocking her son, she wanted nothing more than to glare at him and beat him a hundred times over.

That despicable guy!

Rumble

Black lightning swept across the sky, filling the air with an eerie and ominous aura that made people uneasy and even breathing difficult.

It was like falling into the deep sea.

A bolt of black lightning struck the valley, and a terrifying figure suddenly appeared among the defeated and fallen members of the Knights of God.

As the dust settled, the terrifying figure was revealed.

It was a terrifying monster, slightly superior to Newgate, with grotesque spider-like limbs and huge horns on its head.

The world's highest authority, the Five Elders, Jaigollusia Satan Saint, in his Bull Demon form!

"Satan Saint? What happened? Why is he in this state?!"

"This must be a dream! How could the World Government's 'justice' have turned out like this?!"

Garp and the navy soldiers were once again deeply shaken.

Although it is wrong to judge good or bad based on appearance, Satan Saint's current appearance makes it impossible for them to associate him with "justice".

I don't even know how to comfort myself!

"This... I'm still so ignorant. What a magnificent day of adventure!"

After a brief moment of astonishment, Roger grinned excitedly.

For him, the more dangerous, the more fascinating.

Can't stop!

Locus's gaze swept past the bull-demon Satan and fixed on the crowned shadow behind him, his expression revealing a barely concealed eagerness.

"You're all curious about what this is, aren't you? Well, let me tell you, this is... 'the world'!"

He never expected that the guy who had been hiding in Mary Geoise for years would break through all the protection and appear here.

This might be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Immediately afterwards, figures appeared around Lox.

"Are you coming to help me? I can't offer you anything in return." Lox's pupils shifted, glancing at the figure standing on his right with a knife in his hand.

"Don't worry about it, after all, I've been getting free drinks from you all along."

Newgate leaned the knife on the ground, grinned, and exuded a sense of loyalty that was willing to risk his life for a friend.

The Azure Dragon hovered in the sky, its golden vertical pupils gleaming with visible joy, grinning like a child.

"Hey! You guys! Look! I have 'abilities' now too!"

"Let's test my power on that weirdo!"
