Buddha Sengoku had no idea he'd already caught the attention of the Celestial Dragons on God Valley. Right now, all he wanted was to take down these ruthless cadres from the Rocks Pirates!
The Rocks Pirates' actions were just too vile—wherever they went, they left people in misery, with devastation everywhere. Sengoku hated these heartless, bottomless pirates more than anything!
He despised the Rocks Pirates' cadres even more than Brook and Redfield, who had killed Celestial Dragons. At least the Hell Pirates didn't slaughter civilians or kill innocents indiscriminately!
As for Brook developing territory economies and advancing technology, Sengoku didn't want to dwell on it. That was a matter of stance between the Navy and pirates—he wouldn't call Brook a wise leader!
Grimm Vane saw his longtime companion monkey get smashed into pulp by Gold Buddha Sengoku, and his eyes turned bloodshot in an instant. He pulled out an ES berserk drug smuggled from the Hell Pirates' Elan Island and swallowed it without a second thought!
Suddenly, Grimm Vane's eyes turned completely scarlet, and his already massive Titan Great Ape arms swelled even larger. His fangs elongated into ferocious tusks, transforming him into a savage beast.
Ignoring Skal's shouts, he charged straight at Gold Buddha Sengoku, opening his massive maw. His terrifying fangs wrapped in Armament Haki as he bit down on Sengoku's golden arm, tearing away relentlessly.
"Great Buddha Shockwave!!!"
Sengoku showed no mercy to the now-irrational Grimm Vane. With his other hand, he unleashed a terrifying white shockwave at point-blank range!
The blast hit Grimm Vane square on the forehead, making blood pour from his mouth and nose. He released his grip, only to get slammed by a vicious elbow strike from Sengoku, sending him flying at high speed into God Valley's palace walls, kicking up a cloud of dust!
This left Skal looking grim. If he hadn't clashed head-on with a God Knight and broken an arm in the process, there's no way he'd be losing to this Navy Headquarters Vice Admiral like Sengoku!
He and Grimm Vane had a solid chance of overwhelming Sengoku together, but that idiot teammate had thrown it all away, wasting their advantage!
Still, seeing the horrific bloody gash on Sengoku's arm oozing blood nonstop, it seemed Grimm Vane hadn't gone down without a fight—at least those terrifying fangs had bitten four deep holes, maybe even into the bone!
Now, with Skal down an arm and Gold Buddha Sengoku's arm injured, he was at a disadvantage, but Skal figured he could still hold Sengoku off for a few hours!
The two clashed immediately—this was an irreconcilable battle between righteous Navy and ruthless pirates!
The other battlefields were still locked in stalemates, with the fiercest being between great swordsman Ochoku and Admiral candidate Jung, where Ochoku was just a hair short in raw power but held his own without falling behind, thanks to the indestructible supreme-grade blade!
Captain John, on the other hand, seemed like he was slacking off, as if he hadn't gone all out yet. He was tangled up with an ordinary Headquarters Vice Admiral, looking completely at ease, who knows what schemes he was plotting!
Silver Axe was utterly ferocious, forcing his opponent into a desperate retreat. This guy was a natural powerhouse, wielding his long axe with overwhelming force and surprising speed, pressuring the Vice Admiral so much that one slip could mean getting cleaved in two!
In this war, the key still lay with Rocks—if Rocks could defeat the God Knights and Devo, the situation on God Valley would clarify in an instant!
...
At the rear of God Valley's city, a few elderly Celestial Dragons had already fled with their most precious collections. Unlike those hot-blooded young ones, they'd sensed the danger. Between dignity and their lives, they knew which to choose!
"Sigh, we've done what we can. If these youngsters won't listen, forget about them. Ignoring the words of elders leads to trouble ahead!"
These elderly Celestial Dragons, under the protection of some CP agents, boarded luxurious golden lion-headed warships. They came from different Celestial Dragon families, and if the young ones from other families wouldn't heed advice, they couldn't be bothered!
Suddenly, a melodious song echoed through the air, instantly putting the CP agents on high alert. They scanned their surroundings warily—they still had some strength left and could resist the enchanting song for a bit.
But the Celestial Dragon elders were already dozing off, collapsing on the spot, forcing the tense CP agents to catch the falling Celestial Dragon lords!
Then, a series of light footsteps approached!
"Bang, bang, bang..."
The CP agents, already under assault from the enchanting song and carefully supporting the fainted Celestial Dragon lords, couldn't react in time. It felt like a beast had slammed into their guts, their eyes bulging as they collapsed one by one alongside the Celestial Dragons!
"Yay, mission accomplished!!"
A group of Tontatta warriors, each about twenty centimeters tall, rushed out. Their speed and strength surpassed humans', and after Brook's special training, each one was a formidable fighter!
"Yo ho~ Just like that!"
A sexy beauty with short golden hair flew down, covering her mouth with a laugh. The effect of her mythical zoan Siren fruit's enchanting song had worked even better than expected—talk about effortless!
A green parrot also landed, and from its body, soldiers poured out continuously, looting all the treasure chests the elderly Celestial Dragons had brought!
"Is this what Brook meant by blocking the back door?"
A three-eyed girl with long brown hair, carrying a large scroll on her back, jumped out from the parrot's castle gate, instantly returning to her original size.
"Yeah, hurry and use your scrolls to grab everything we can!"
Stussy eyed the luxurious Celestial Dragon-exclusive ships with gleaming eyes. This time, they were leaving nothing behind—plunder it all!
"Got it, Stussy!"
Tenmoku took out small scrolls, which grew huge in her hands as she eyed the massive luxurious ships.
Tenmoku flung out a scroll, which expanded in the air like a sky-covering canopy, enveloping one of the Celestial Dragon luxury warships and sucking it right in.
The canopy scroll rolled up in mid-air, shrinking gradually before returning to Tenmoku's hand!
"This ability is way too handy! Even more practical than Parrot's fruit or Bra Kara's Pocket fruit!"
Stussy said with a smile, prompting eye-rolls from the nearby Parrot and Bra Kara. New favorite, old ones forgotten.
Those two were the Hell Pirates' warehouse keepers, but the Castle fruit maxed out at seventy or eighty meters—definitely not enough for these hundred-meter-plus luxury ships. The Pocket fruit was even worse!
"It's all thanks to Brook-sama's great teaching. His wild ideas are just amazing!"
Tenmoku blushed, as if recalling the intimate time spent with Brook, her little heart pounding non-stop.
As they spoke, the Celestial Dragon luxury ships had already turned into scrolls, hanging from Tenmoku's small waist!
