As the Roger Pirates and the remnants of the Rocks Pirates departed one after another, very few people remained on God Valley.
Aside from Reynolds himself, the Reynolds Pirates consisted only of Linlin, Flame Flower, and Kaido.
As for the 200 Deathsworn warriors, they had already perished in every corner of the battlefield.
On the Navy side, there were Fleet Admiral Kong, Garp, Sengoku, and a few dozen surviving Vice Admirals.
The God's Knights, led by Saint Garling, had lost two members to Reynolds. Now only seven remained, and each was wounded.
The battle had been incredibly tragic up to this point.
Aside from the Rocks Pirates, the World Government had suffered the heaviest losses.
Power accumulated over several years had been wiped out in a single battle.
Dark lines hung over Saint Garling's gloomy face.
If looks could kill, Reynolds would have died hundreds of times over by now.
He didn't care about the Marines at all; it didn't matter how many of them died. As long as top-tier assets like Kong, Sengoku, and Garp survived, the foundation of the Navy remained.
But the Celestial Dragons had suffered a catastrophic loss this time!
Not a single Celestial Dragon who came to God Valley survived. Most were killed by Reynolds, and the rest died in the chaos of war.
After all, those guys looked like pigs and wore glass helmets, making them exceptionally conspicuous on the battlefield. It was hard not to notice them.
Over 200 Celestial Dragons were dead, and two God's Knights had fallen at Reynolds' hands.
When he returned, he didn't know how he would explain this to the Five Elders. Even though his status in the World Government rivaled theirs, he couldn't escape blame for such massive losses.
Although they successfully eliminated Rocks and dismantled the Rocks Pirates, it was far from enough. Only by eliminating Reynolds could they salvage some of their losses.
Kong, Sengoku, and the remaining six God's Knights immediately gathered around Saint Garling, their faces dark and murderous.
"Nasujuro, take Garp and the others and leave this place."
Saint Garling ordered a severely injured Celestial Dragon beside him.
This was the God's Knight who had fought Linlin. He was covered in blood and heavily wounded. If not for Kong holding Linlin back, he would have been beaten to death by her long ago.
Now that Garp was unconscious and the few remaining Vice Admirals were all injured, they were in no condition to stay.
Regardless, the Vice Admirals were the backbone of the Navy; saving even one was worth it.
Knowing he could no longer be of help, Nasujuro acknowledged the order and led the group to retreat from God Valley.
Reynolds, sensing this beforehand, recalled Linlin, Flame Flower, and Kaido to his side.
Four against eight!!
A twofold difference in numbers.
"Reynolds! Let's see how you run this time!"
Saint Garling, thinking he had Reynolds cornered, sneered.
This bastard had caused the World Government such immense losses; he absolutely could not be let off easy.
Once they captured Reynolds, Garling would make him wish he were dead, make him regret ever coming into this world.
"Reynolds! Your remaining crew members are all in the New World, right? I'd like to see who can save you now!"
Sengoku, still in his giant golden Buddha form and possessing residual strength, swung his massive palm, launching waves of golden shockwaves at Reynolds.
"Get lost!!"
A ferocious Kaido, in his hybrid form, roared in anger, raising his kanabo to crush all the shockwaves.
"Hehehehe... Do you guys really think you can kill me?!"
As he spoke, Reynolds cast an imperceptible glance at Linlin beside him.
Linlin understood immediately.
"Arrogant fool! Kong, Sengoku! Delays breed trouble—take him down in one go!!"
The closer to the end, the more cautious one must be.
Knowing the stakes, the others nodded. Now that they held the absolute advantage, there was no need for complications.
A full-power strike to eliminate Reynolds and his group directly was the way.
"Today, you bastards will be buried alongside the dead Celestial Dragons!!"
"Starburst Stream Slash!!"
Saint Garling unleashed his killer move again. Sword intent erupted, manifesting as tangible sword Qi that slashed deep rifts into the earth.
Seeing this, the other five God's Knights used their own methods, deploying their strongest moves to attack Reynolds in unison.
Kong and Sengoku narrowed their eyes and charged.
"Six Powers Secret Art: Steel Bone Giant Fist!!"
Kong's right fist suddenly emitted a dark, ghostly light as he punched toward Reynolds and his group.
"Reynolds! Today is the day you die!!"
"Hah!"
The giant golden Buddha emitted sonorous Buddhist chants. Energy surged around him, and golden light diffused outward. From a distance, he looked like a blazing sun.
Sengoku, transformed into a Vajra Buddha, was majestic beyond compare. The surging Buddha light solidified, forming the image of a dignified Vajra Buddha.
"Buddha's Fury!!"
Sengoku struck out with a giant palm of Buddha light, and the Vajra Buddha image shot instantly toward Reynolds' direction.
Eight top-tier powerhouses unleashed their strongest attacks simultaneously. Apart from Sengoku, who stood his ground, the others had turned into streaks of light, charging at Reynolds.
Locked on firmly by the Observation Haki of Saint Garling and the others, Reynolds frowned slightly, his expression graver than ever before.
Even he didn't dare to underestimate this.
Against such a powerful offensive, only that move would work.
"Kaido, Flame Flower! Block them for just a moment!" "Linlin!!" "Let's do it!!" "Don't worry, Boss!!" "Leave it to me!!"
In a life-or-death instant, there was no time to think.
With a thought from Flame Flower, her Storm Homie, Earth Homie, and Ice Homie sprang into action immediately.
"Little Wind! Tornado Storm!!"
The rapidly spinning Storm Homie, carrying immense tearing force, charged directly at the enemy.
"Little Ice! Ice Wall!!"
The Ice Homie spewed endless freezing air. The surrounding temperature plummeted, and ice walls several meters thick rose from the ground, blocking the path of Kong and the others.
"Little Earth! Earth Flow Wall!!"
The Earth Homie dove into the ground like a fish entering water. The soil was compressed to its limit, forming sturdy defensive barriers behind the ice walls, constituting the final line of defense.
After doing all this, Flame Flower's face flushed slightly.
Using so much stamina at once was taxing even for her.
"I'll fight you bastards to the end!"
Not to be outdone, Kaido exploded with power. He swung his kanabo so fast it left afterimages, sending giant column-shaped shockwaves tearing through the air toward Saint Garling.
The shockwaves were imbued with Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki, possessing immense power.
This was the strongest technique he could currently unleash.
"Ants trying to shake a tree! You overestimate yourselves!!"
Facing the obstruction ahead, Saint Garling snorted in disdain.
How could such paltry means block the attacks of eight top-tier powerhouses?
Like entering an uninhabited land, they shattered the Storm Homie's defense in an instant and then met Kaido's shockwaves head-on.
"Linlin!"
"Brother! I'm ready!"
Behind the earth wall, Reynolds and Linlin nodded in tacit agreement.
"Today, we send you on your way!!"
Reynolds' gaze seemed to penetrate the earth wall, clearly seeing the crowd charging in for the kill.A domineering, tyrannical, and extremely aggressive Conqueror's Haki erupted from Reynolds' body, instantly sealing the Observation Haki senses of the group.
In the next second, everyone became blind to their surroundings.
"Speed up! Kill them!!"
In that instant, Saint Garling felt extremely uneasy.
This feeling didn't come from his Observation Haki, but from his sixth sense.
Sometimes, a man's sixth sense could be frighteningly accurate!!
Reynolds held the Supreme Grade blade Zhanhai, his body flickering with red light, revealing a terrifying aura.
A fierce glint flashed across Reynolds' eyes. To block the attack of eight top-tier powerhouses, he had to pour out every ounce of his strength.
The power of lightning and fire, Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, and the swordsmanship of a top-tier swordsman—all were infused into Zhanhai.
Understanding his intent, Linlin moved in sync with Reynolds, holding nothing back!
As the second-in-command of the Reynolds Pirates, Linlin's strength needed no explanation!
"Brother, I'm here!"
Linlin stood side-by-side with Reynolds, raising the Supreme Grade blade Pofeng high, her aura condensed to the limit.
Peak-level swordsmanship, flowing Advanced Armament Haki (Ryuo), dark red Conqueror's Haki, and the transparent power of the Quake-Quake Fruit were all poured into Pofeng.
Their auras slowly merged.
Over the past six years, she and Reynolds had practiced this countless times. When executing this move, the two acted as one, moving freely.
"Rest in peace!!!"
Standing shoulder to shoulder, the two exchanged a glance, then tacitly pulled Zhanhai and Pofeng behind them.
In the next second, the Future Sight Killer faded, and Reynolds and Linlin's figures were locked on again. The last stone wall was also broken through.
At the same time, the two shouted explosively, swinging forward simultaneously to unleash their strongest attack!
"Ocean Sovereignty!!" (Hakai) "Ocean Sovereignty!!!"
Boom! Boom!
A gigantic energy cannon, over dozens of meters in diameter and containing multiple terrifying powers, shot out, instantly meeting Saint Garling and the others.
"Holy shit!!" "Not good!!" "Block it!!"
The terrifying might carried by this strike made everyone's hearts pound. The phantom of the Grim Reaper wielding a massive scythe loomed over the heads of the seven.
But just as this thought crossed their minds, Ocean Sovereignty completely swallowed all seven of them.
In the distance, Sengoku, in his giant golden Buddha form, witnessed this scene, and his legs trembled uncontrollably.
"Let's go, quickly."
After releasing Ocean Sovereignty, Reynolds and Linlin's faces turned pale, and they collapsed weakly to the ground.
To use this move, they had exhausted all their strength.
Now, they no longer had the strength to fight. If they didn't kill the enemy with that, they were truly screwed.
Roar—
Without time to think, Kaido let out a dragon roar and transformed into an Azure Dragon immediately.
Picking up Reynolds and the other two, Kaido the Azure Dragon swung his dozens-of-meters-long body, winding and soaring into the high sky.
Flame Flower, who still had strength left, expanded her Observation Haki, carefully scanning the seven people pierced by the energy cannon.
After sensing the situation inside, she hugged Reynolds and Linlin tightly, a mocking sneer appearing at the corner of her mouth.
Soon, the giant Azure Dragon disappeared, turning into a small black dot vanishing into the horizon.
...
Once the terrifying energy had vented completely, when Sengoku cast his gaze over, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.
Looking out, a deep abyss thousands of meters long and dozens of meters deep had appeared on the island, extending all the way to the end.
What horrified Sengoku the most was that of the seven people enveloped by Ocean Sovereignty just now, six had disappeared completely.
The six God's Knights, led by Saint Garling, were annihilated!!
Not even a trace remained.
Only the one-armed Kong lay on the ground, his fate unknown.
Just moments ago, the confident group of six, led by Saint Garling, launched their final attack on Reynolds. However, at the critical moment, their Observation Haki was sealed, and they lost track of Reynolds and his group.
This scene instantly made Saint Garling uneasy. He led the other five God's Knights to burst with speed again, rushing out a body length ahead of Sengoku's Golden Buddha and Kong.
Saint Garling's group of six bore the brunt of Ocean Sovereignty first. Their strongest combined attack was crushed by the blast.
Immediately after, their Haki armor was broken, followed by their physical defenses, and finally, they were completely swallowed.
But the might of Ocean Sovereignty was also significantly reduced before it met Sengoku's Golden Buddha.
In that breath of time, Kong, sensing something was wrong, escaped the attack range of Ocean Sovereignty immediately. However, he was still a step too slow, and one of his arms was vaporized by the residual power.
"Fleet Admiral Kong."
Regaining his senses, Sengoku hurried to Kong's side and checked his breathing.
He breathed a sigh of relief upon discovering Kong was still alive.
Glancing warily at the battlefield that had been vaporized by the energy cannon, Sengoku tremblingly picked up the unconscious Kong and fled the scene immediately.
...
...
Three days later.
West Blue, Secret Underground Base.
Reynolds and Linlin slept for two whole days before waking up.
"Are those guys really dead?!"
Fresh out of the shower, Reynolds asked casually while drying his hair.
"Of course," Flame Flower rolled her eyes at being questioned. "My Observation Haki might not match yours, but we were so close at the time, I definitely checked it clearly."
"Saint Garling and those God's Knights were all vaporized. Not a single hair was left."
"But Kong should still be alive."
"Killing those guys is enough." Reynolds waved his hand indifferently.
Killing Saint Garling and his crew was a huge win.
Currently, his organization wasn't fully formed yet, and the sea still needed Kong and Sengoku to maintain order.
Although he was a pirate, he had to admit one thing.
It was precisely because of the Navy that the sea had its current peace.
Perhaps it didn't look peaceful to others, but without the Navy, even this semblance of peace wouldn't exist.
It could only be said that they followed the wrong masters, insisting on being dogs for the Celestial Dragons.
Before he had the ability to completely control the entire sea, he would let Kong and the others look after it for the time being.
But as for Celestial Dragons, he would kill every single one he saw.
"Hehehehe... Rocks is dead, the Rocks Pirates exist in name only. Those restless guys should be making their moves soon."
Thinking of the subsequent developments, Reynolds smiled and shook his head.
With Rocks dead, the next era would belong to Roger, Whitebeard, and Shiki.
"As long as you're here, how could it be their turn?"
Flame Flower came up behind Reynolds and gently massaged his shoulders.
After the God Valley incident, it wouldn't be long before Reynolds' name dominated the seas again.
Even if Whitebeard and the others were strong, they couldn't compare to Reynolds.
"Your vision is too small."
Smack.
Reynolds, feeling frisky, slapped Flame Flower on her bottom, producing a crisp sound.
The bashful Flame Flower cast an imperceptible glance at Linlin and immediately lowered her head.
"You've been with me for so long, don't you know what I'm aiming for?"
"What's the point of competing with a few mere pirates for dominance?!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I was wrong. You're the best."
Flame Flower quickly adopted the demeanor of a submissive little woman.
"Brother, what's your plan next?"
Unconcerned, Linlin asked while eating strawberry cake.
"Proceed as originally planned. Rocks is dead, the Navy and World Government are severely damaged. The sea should be peaceful for a short while."
"As for Whitebeard and those guys, let them make a fuss. It has nothing to do with us."
"As long as they don't provoke us, ignore them."
(Whitebeard: Thanks a lot. Who would dare provoke you?!)
"By the way, didn't Rupert send news that they've already built the prototype of the Black Lion-Tiger?"
"Tell him to take a few months to find some pirate crews to test its power and verify its performance. Once he ensures it's foolproof, expand production."
"Brother, I'll notify him immediately." swallowing the last bite of strawberry cake, Linlin took out a Den Den Mushi.
"Flame Flower, from now on, help me keep an eye on a few people in the West Blue. Once you find them, have Kaido bring them back to me immediately."
"Also, tell Black Shadow and Jace to pay special attention to a few guys on their end."
