"Zeus!"
"Prometheus!!"
Linlin summoned her Homies. A white cloud with a face and a sun-like fireball wearing a flattering grin floated to her sides.
"You two go search. The moment you find a Devil Fruit, report to me immediately!"
"Yes, Mama!"
Zeus and Prometheus split off at once, drifting in opposite directions through the sky to begin their search.
Only…
they looked exactly like two kids on an outing zipping forward, stopping, gawking at everything around them with curious eyes.
It made people seriously wonder…
Are these two Homies actually reliable?!
In front of the God Valley palace.
Satan Saint, with white hair, a white beard, and a scar at his temple, glared furiously and barked,
"Rocks!!"
"Do you even understand what you're doing right now?!"
"You're challenging the World Government's bottom line… and the World Government's power is far beyond what you can imagine!"
At the same time, a flicker of confusion flashed in Satan Saint's eyes.
According to the plan…
the Rocks Pirates should have been at G-1, locked in a life-and-death war with the Marines.
Yet the Rocks Pirates had appeared against all expectations at God Valley.
Before him stood Rocks and a pack of vicious pirates, all staring at Satan Saint and the strangely dressed figures behind him with hungry, predatory eyes.
There were also fully armed soldiers in silver armor.
"Hmph!"
Rocks looked arrogant as ever, snorting with contempt.
"A paper tiger putting on a show. Tell me how much force can God Valley possibly have right now to resist the Rocks Pirates?!"
As he spoke, his eyes swept Satan Saint's side like a wolf sizing up prey, taking in their numbers in a single glance.
The gap was obvious.
Even if there were a few people behind Satan Saint who didn't look ordinary…
the Rocks Pirates also had plenty of powerful officers.
Captain John, Wang Zhi, Silver Axe, the Kurozumi couple, and a crew of pirates handpicked through the Rocks Pirates' brutal selection.
Each and every one of them was an elite who'd crawled out of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
Satan Saint studied the Rocks Pirates closely and sneered.
"Why does it look like you're missing a few officers? Where's that so-called genius monster Bloodhand Tengetsu Ares?"
At the mention of Tengetsu Ares, Rocks' eyes tightened for a split second, then he laughed.
"Ze hahahaha Ares really is a monster. His talent is terrifying."
"So…"
"I sent him to attack Marine G-1."
Satan Saint's face changed instantly, his pupils trembling.
"What?! Ares is at G-1, and you "
"How can you be indifferent to that fruit?!"
"Heh."
Rocks stared at Satan Saint with a mocking gaze.
"You mean the Sun God Nika, right? That fruit is a legendary power how could I not be tempted?"
"But…"
"Did you really think I didn't know it was fake?"
"You…!" Satan Saint jolted. "How did you find out?!"
At that moment
Kurozumi Higurashi, sharp-faced with a pointed chin and a look straight out of a nightmare, cackled.
"Hehehe of course it was my power."
"I ate the Clone-Clone Fruit. I'm a copy human."
As she spoke, she reached up and touched her cheek. Her ugly face twisted
and turned into the exact appearance of a CP0 agent.
"The Den Den Mushi that contacted you back then… was me."
"Hehehe!!"
Then she shifted back to her original form.
Satan Saint clenched his jaw.
"So you already knew the fruit was fake… yet you still sent Ares to Marine G-1…"
"To keep you busy, of course. Someone had to give the Marines a little trouble," Rocks said with a cold, disdainful smile.
A murderous light flickered in his eyes like a tiger about to pounce, ready to tear its prey apart with overwhelming force.
Seeing Satan Saint's expression darken, Rocks twisted the knife.
"You already called for Marine support, didn't you?"
"Too bad. They can't spare the hands."
"Ares and Golden Lion those two are more than enough to keep the Marines bleeding for a while."
"Especially Ares. His physique and learning ability are insane."
"I taught him advanced Conqueror's Haki infusion… and he picked it up immediately."
"Right now, Sengoku and Garp are probably getting headaches."
Nearby, Captain John sloshed his wine jug and laughed.
"And from G-1 to God Valley, the voyage takes at least a few days!"
"By the time the Marines arrive, God Valley will already be rubble."
"All that'll be left is to collect the corpses of you Celestial Dragon trash!"
The moment they heard "Conqueror's infusion," Satan Saint and the members of the God's Knights behind him were visibly shaken.
They'd heard rumors that Tengetsu Ares' learning talent was monstrous
but hearing Rocks say Ares mastered it immediately still hit like a hammer.
Behind Satan Saint
a female knight clad in ornate armor, so beautiful it could topple kingdoms, murmured in disbelief,
"He learned Conqueror's infusion on the spot… what kind of terrifying talent is that?!"
"Even with our divine bloodline, it's impossible to master such an advanced combat technique in such a short time…"
A man wearing what looked like a gas mask or perhaps a diving mask muttered,
"With that kind of talent, no wonder he rose so fast and forced his way into the ranks of the strongest."
"What a waste…"
"If a monster like that were cultivated by the World Government, he'd become the ultimate killing machine."
And the most crucial point was
Tengetsu Ares and Golden Lion were tying down the Marines at G-1.
Meaning the strongest Marine forces wouldn't be arriving anytime soon.
A flash of panic passed through Satan Saint's eyes.
"Even if the Marines can't reinforce us… you think that means you can defeat us?!"
"The World Government has ruled the seas for so many years because it possesses power greater than everyone else!"
As he spoke
Satan Saint's body suddenly shifted, swelling larger and larger. One poisonous spider leg after another sharp like spears burst from his torso.
At the same time, a pair of razor horns grew from his head, his nostrils flaring wide he looked one step away from wearing a ring through his nose.
A terrifying aura rolled off him, wrapped in eerie black flame-clouds.
It stunned a good number of pirates on the spot.
Wang Zhi instinctively tightened his grip on his greatsword and warned tensely,
"Oi, oi this looks like a Mythical Zoan. Don't get careless!"
Silver Axe hoisted his giant axe.
"The Five Elders really aren't simple. With the World Government's resources, getting a rare Mythical Zoan isn't exactly impossible."
Captain John took a swig of liquor.
"Every Mythical Zoan has some special power. Don't underestimate it."
He'd seen Mythical Zoans before.
Tengetsu Ares' Azure Dragon form could command natural forces like wind, fire, thunder, and lightning.
Kaido's Hanuman form seemed like a body of indestructible steel.
And Queen Naga Slardar's power looked like "magic."
Satan Saint's grotesque form…
definitely carried some equally abnormal ability.
The atmosphere tightened instantly.
The air reeked of gunpowder one spark away from exploding.
Rocks' arrogant face was brimming with confidence, his lips curling up.
"Satan… even with a Mythical Zoan, you can't stop me…"
"Ze hahahaha "
"I am the overlord of the sea Rocks!!"
