Chapter 118: "The Most Heinous Criminal"! The Big Shots are Stunned
"As a result of this great battle, the World Government was nearly defeated!"
"[The Most Heinous Criminal] single-handedly killed five Admiral-level powerhouses! Including two of the Five Elders!"
"And more than 2,000 Celestial Dragons met a tragic end!"
"In this battle, [The Most Heinous Criminal] almost made the World Government a thing of the past!"
"But in the end, it's unknown what terrifying power the World Government used to finally erase [The Most Heinous Criminal]!"
"Just think about it, how terrifying is this [The Most Heinous Criminal]!"
Hearing this, the members of the Blackbeard Pirates couldn't sit still anymore!
Too terrifying! Simply too terrifying!
Admiral-level powerhouses were already unreachable for them!
One person killing five Admiral-level powerhouses in one battle!
Is he a god?
The members of the Blackbeard Pirates couldn't imagine it at all!
If these words hadn't come from their captain's mouth, the Blackbeard Pirates would have thought they were listening to a myth!
"More importantly, [The Most Heinous Criminal] has a particularly good relationship with Whitebeard!"
"If he decides to kill us, there's absolutely no escape!"
"That's why I told you to retreat quickly!"
Blackbeard recalled his time on Whitebeard's ship.
Whitebeard would often reminisce with the crew about the old days in the Rocks Pirates.
Especially the legend of [The Most Heinous Criminal]!
Every time he mentioned the name of [The Most Heinous Criminal] Rono, the Old Man would be beaming and very excited!
He said it so many times that the members of the Whitebeard Pirates' ears were about to grow calluses!
"So that's how it is! Captain Teach is wise!"
"Yeah, if such a big shot targeted us, there would be absolutely no escape."
"Fortunately, fortunately..."
At this time, the members of the Blackbeard Pirates also showed expressions of having survived a disaster!
Truly walked on the line of life and death.
"By the way, Captain Teach, what about our plan?"
Laffitte asked. After retreating, the Blackbeard Pirates' plan was completely disrupted!
They originally planned to absorb members from LV6, then detour to Marineford to kill Whitebeard and seize his Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability.
Then advance to the New World, become a Yonko, recruit more crew members, seize more abilities, and strengthen their own power.
Now it seems, everything was disrupted!
"What plan? It's good enough to be alive!"
"I don't think we can go to Marineford either."
"With [The Most Heinous Criminal]'s relationship with the Old Man, he will definitely go to Marineford!"
"I think we should just stay on the sidelines and watch."
Blackbeard was also a smart person.
Blackbeard understood the principle of seeking wealth in danger very well; after all, he had come all this way like this.
But this risk was too great!
The opponent was [The Most Heinous Criminal]!
This made Blackbeard, who had always been a gambler, not dare to place a bet at all! Could only flee in disgrace.
Anyway, he was used to admitting defeat, having endured for decades in the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Alright..."
Seeing that even the captain had admitted defeat, the members of the Blackbeard Pirates didn't dare to say much.
They might be able to provoke the Dark King Rayleigh.
But a monster like [The Most Heinous Criminal], they really couldn't afford to provoke.
...
Meanwhile, Impel Down, LV6.
After Blackbeard fled, he left a group of bewildered prisoners.
"Hey, didn't that bastard just say he was going to let us out?"
"Why did he run away!"
"That idiot, such a hard-won opportunity!"
The prisoners were very dissatisfied with Blackbeard's escape!
But they had no way.
After all, the person had already run away, and they couldn't possibly chase after him.
"Hey hey, Dark King Rayleigh, and the former-former empress of Amazon Lily, Shakky."
"How about letting us out!"
"That's right, let us out, and we'll agree to any condition!"
"For the sake of us all being pirates, how about helping out?"
The desperate prisoners of LV6 even pinned their hopes on Rayleigh and Shakky!
After all, of these four people, most prisoners only recognized Rayleigh and Shakky!
The next moment!
"Hahaha! I really didn't expect it! I saw something incredible!"
"I thought I was dreaming!"
"You, who disappeared 36 years ago, have actually reappeared in the world!"
"What exactly happened! To make a man like you appear again!"
Suddenly, from deep within a cell!
Bullet's excited voice came, and because he was too excited, his voice was a bit shaky!
The moment he saw Rono, he recognized him immediately!
No mistake!
[The Most Heinous Criminal] Rono!
Absolutely no mistake!
After all, Bullet was also one of the members who fought alongside the Roger Pirates and the Rocks Pirates 36 years ago!
The Battle of God Valley left too deep an impression on him!
One person against the pursuit and blockade of 20 Admiral-level powerhouses!
Buying time for the Roger Pirates to retreat!
That scene left too deep an impression on Bullet!
[The Most Heinous Criminal] Rono!
That was a man even more powerful than his target—Captain Roger!
"Hey hey, what exactly is going on!"
"[Demon Heir] Bullet, what's wrong with him suddenly? Has he gone mad? Or is he shaking with excitement!"
"Is it because he saw his former vice-captain, the Dark King Rayleigh?"
"Speaking of which, I remember now, didn't this guy Bullet stay on the Pirate King's ship for a while?"
"At that time, his strength was already on par with the Dark King Rayleigh!"
Bullet's excited voice startled the prisoners of LV6 present!
After all, this man had been imprisoned in Impel Down for 20 years!
In these 20 years, except for the day Roger was executed, Bullet rarely spoke, or even didn't speak at all!
Basically, he was focused on cultivating and getting stronger!
This also made his strength reach the level of an Emperor-level powerhouse!
But today, what's wrong with Bullet? Why is he so unusually excited!
As if he had seen something incredible!
Could it be because he saw his former vice-captain, the Dark King Rayleigh?
"I didn't expect, I didn't expect that great battle to be 36 years ago!"
"I thought you had died long ago! Didn't expect to see you here again!"
"The sea is truly full of wonders!"
Not only Bullet, but Redfield, who had always been arrogant and cold, also became excited!
"No... not right! Why is Redfield excited too!"
"This guy has always been a weird old man! Almost never speaks!"
"During his time as a pirate, he was also a loner, a one-man crew! Rumor has it he's a guy who hates interacting with people!"
"But why does Redfield also have such an excited expression?"
"And what about 36 years ago? Who died long ago? Could it be the Dark King Rayleigh?"
"How is that possible! The Dark King Rayleigh has been active on the sea for decades and only retired 22 years ago! How can that match with dying 36 years ago!"
Redfield's voice startled the prisoners of LV6 even more!
This guy was a legendary pirate even colder than Bullet!
No one had ever heard him speak!
Everyone thought he was a mute!
But unexpectedly today, Redfield actually spoke for the first time!
And was so excited!
What exactly is going on?
"Hahaha, Redfield, I watched that great battle with you back then!"
"To be honest, the details of that great battle are still imprinted in my mind and cannot be dispersed!"
"I really didn't expect to meet here again today!"
Byrnndi World also laughed loudly!
This scene made the surrounding pirates even more confused!
"And Byrnndi World, why is this guy excited too?"
"What's wrong with these great pirates?"
Even in LV6, Byrnndi World, Redfield, and Bullet were top figures.
The dynamics of these big figures would naturally be paid extra attention by others!
At this time, the prisoners of LV6 impressively discovered that these three legendary pirates.
After seeing the Dark King Rayleigh's group of four, were extremely excited!
This was a situation that had never happened before!
Not just these three!
One of the Shichibukai, [Knight of the Sea] Jinbe, was also stunned!
What followed was excitement, shaking with excitement!
"[Hero]! That is the [Hero] that Boss Fisher Tiger taught us about since we were young!"
"No mistake! [Hero] Rono! Actually appeared here!"
"It was rumored that he died in the Battle of God Valley 36 years ago!"
"Why did he appear again!"
Jinbe trembled with excitement, and even the chains made a rustling sound.
Ever since Boss Fisher Tiger was rescued by Rono, Rono had become the hero of the entire Fish-Man Island!
The title of [Hero] had always been praised on Fish-Man Island!
In the great battle 36 years ago, upon hearing that [Hero] Rono had fallen in that battle!
The entire Sun Pirates mourned for three days!
To express respect for this great heroic figure!
Unexpectedly, [Hero] Rono was not dead!
And he appeared here in LV6!!
Jinbe felt as if his heart was churning, unable to calm down for a long time!
The [Hero] he had aspired to follow since he was a child was actually still alive!
"Even [Knight of the Sea] Jinbe?!"
"What exactly did they see?!"
Now many prisoners of LV6 also understood!
These four were definitely not so excited because they saw the Dark King Rayleigh!
After all, all four of them mentioned one thing in unison—
The great battle 36 years ago!
36 years ago? Did something big happen?
Why have I never heard of it!
