The pinnacle of pirates begins with deceiving fate!

"If only my men were these marines, then even if I killed them, they wouldn't betray me."

For some reason, John felt a sense of envy, even jealousy, towards the Five Elders and Im.

It's true what they say: comparisons are odious.

"If I have the chance, I want to join the navy!"

At that moment, John made up his mind.

If he could escape his inevitable death, he would definitely turn over a new leaf and infiltrate the navy with a respectable facade.

Moreover, you have to reach the top!

"We're going to provide support, aren't we, Major General!"

Seeing that Satan was being forced to retreat under the attack of Lox, the marines made a strong request to their commander.

Upon hearing this, the major general's eyes twitched, and a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead.

He couldn't understand why the soldiers were so foolish as to immediately find excuses to refuse.

"Do not……"

"Of course we're going to provide support, get out of the way!"

Before the major general could finish speaking, Garp pushed aside the soldiers surrounding him and strode toward the enormous bull-like monster.

"Vice Admiral Garp! If you were to take action, the pirates would definitely..."

"Huh? Wait a minute! Which side are we going to support?!"

Before the soldiers could even cheer, they saw Garp suddenly accelerate, leap over, and throw a punch at the bull-demon monster.

The major general was also terrified by Garp's actions, his eyes darting around as he quickly came up with a quick idea.

"What are you idiots standing there for? Those pirates have stolen the Celestial Dragons' treasure! Go stop them and capture them!"

He dared not, nor was he willing to, help the intimidating-looking Satan Saint fight Rocks, nor could he stand there dumbfounded and do nothing.

Otherwise, if the Celestial Dragons investigate later, he will not be able to escape responsibility.

Therefore, capturing those "ordinary" pirates is the best option!

It is relatively safe, and there is something to do, so there will be no punishment for slacking off.

perfect!

Soon, a barrage of gunfire erupted as the naval soldiers, as if injected with adrenaline, chased the "ordinary" pirates all over the place.

The shields of the naval soldiers surrounding John suddenly disappeared, leaving only Alice and Teach by his side.

"It's tough to get by in any workplace."

John shook his head helplessly and turned his gaze to the monster being ganged up on by Rocks and Garp.

As it stands, Satan, possessed by Im, is performing very... poorly.

He's so weak that it feels like he could easily crush him and beat him to the ground.

"It's all an illusion, a mirage. Calm down!"

John took a deep breath, forcibly calming his restless heart.

After calming down, he began to think about what to do next.

Clearly, things were still developing in the direction that fate had decreed, and Lox was completely unable to dissuade him.

"Next is 'Dark to Domination'."

John's eyes gleamed as he mentally simulated the feasibility of shielding Rocks from a "fatal" blow.

No!

In an instant, John realized that this path was completely blocked.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the monster looks dull and stupid now; the domineering aura it exudes is far superior to his.

If he gets too close and accidentally falls victim to the "Dark Transformation," he will definitely die here.

No gambling!

Chapter 14 No one is the protagonist forever.

"Im can make a million mistakes, but I... only once!"

After thinking it over, John decided to just grab Alice and Teach and run away.

It's not shameful to lose a fight, but it's shameful to lose a fight and outrun someone!

With his wife and children taken away from the battlefield, Rocks became increasingly reckless in his attacks, which excited Kaido and the others, who then joined in.

Pirates don't care about one-on-one fights; they want to fight side-by-side and beat a drowning dog to a pulp!

"Let me join the battle, Rocks!"

"Wait, Kaido, you bastard, I'll kill you!"

"Garp, that guy hurt my comrade, he's my prey, get out of the way!"

"I'm getting rid of pests, don't get in my way!"

"Kuralalala, it's so lively..."

As Kaido in his dragon form spewed flames, the haughty Linlin, under the guise of taking revenge on Kaido, unleashed a powerful sword strike, "Warrior's Might," at the monster.

Roger and Garp were still locked in a fierce battle, but they both unanimously unleashed their "Divine Evasion" and "Fist Bone Impact" on the bull-demon monster.

Newgate laughed heartily in this atmosphere of both enmity and friendship, then punched out a "sudden shockwave" with his fist clenched in a reverse arc, engulfing everyone in a violent shockwave.

The dazzling attacks came one after another, instantly blasting the bull demon monster and the crowned shadow behind it to smithereens, destroying most of its body.

"Is it resolved?"

"He should be dead, considering that so many of us attacked together."

The six men stared intently at the rising smoke and dust. Although they couldn't be sure yet, they all felt that the monstrous bull wouldn't last long.

After all, those who made the move were the top experts of this era.

Time passed slowly, and as the smoke and dust settled and gradually dissipated, a broken body, supported only by its hip bones and spider-like limbs, appeared before the six people's eyes.

Suddenly, dark clouds covered the sky, blocking out the sunlight and leaving behind a vast darkness.

Rumble

A black lightning bolt struck down, engulfing the mangled body of the bull-demon monster, followed by a terrifying surge of Conqueror's Haki.

Black arcs of electricity filled the entire island, and all the naval soldiers and ordinary pirates rolled their eyes back, foamed at the mouth, and collapsed unconscious.

The six Lox in the center were also not doing well. The fierce air blast made it almost impossible for them to open their eyes, and they had to raise their arms to shield their brows.

Squinting, one could see through the swirling sand and gravel that the monstrous bull's body was rapidly and visibly recovering.

After the restoration was complete, it didn't stop. It continued to grow taller and expand, turning the previously seen crown shadow into a physical entity.

A pair of eerie eyes emerged from the shadows of the crown, looking down at Lox with coldness and malice.

The dull sound, like the friction of rust, rang out.

“New David, your wife and son are rushing away from here, seemingly desperate to survive.”

"This is our battle, why are you bringing them up?!"

Rocks couldn't help but think of his people who had been turned into monsters. He angrily unleashed an unparalleled aura that dispersed the sand and gravel, and with his sword in hand, he flashed forward and slashed down at the crowned shadow.

Sizzle

The sound of the blade cutting through flesh was crystal clear, and Lox watched helplessly as the crowned shadow was cleaved into three pieces and flung into the air.

However, no blood or internal organs came out.

Those malicious eyes continued to stare at him, and the hoarse sound of rust scraping against each other persisted.

"Mmm, she can't do anything."

The crowned figure, its body severed and flung into the air, suddenly unleashed two black spikes that pierced through Lox's chest with a strange, eerie sound.

"You will be the one to exterminate your clan. Go and torture your wife and children!"

"Idiot, what nonsense are you spouting? This attack is so weak..."

"'Black to Domination'!"

Before Lockes could finish his mocking words, an incredibly evil power flowed into his body through the black thorns, improving his physique and invading his mind.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Flesh and bones were torn apart and reassembled, and his brain felt as if it were being churned by an electric drill. The extreme pain caused Locks to cry out in agony.

His face became hideous and grotesque, with demonic fangs, just like those of a vampire, extending from his lips.

In his fading consciousness, Lox forcibly pulled himself back to his senses, managing to regain a brief period of clarity.

He frantically activated his Conqueror's Haki to resist and expel the evil forces within his body.

A massive burst of black and red lightning erupted from Lox's body as he made a desperate, all-or-nothing final stand.

"What a tenacious insect."

The crowned figure appeared to be praising, but in reality, he was so arrogant that he was unwilling to inject any more power.

For them, this tiny insect was already under control.

"Don't underestimate humans, you monsters!"

Rox glared at the dark figure behind the crown, but the recent strange behavior of "John" flashed through his mind.

That guy definitely knew something, but unfortunately I didn't listen to his advice.

"Keep your smugness in check, there are even more dangerous guys waiting for you!"

Lox burst into wild laughter.

In that instant, he saw many things clearly.

History has always featured names like "David," "Joy Boy," and "Nerona" as protagonists, stirring up storms one after another.
