Chapter 121: Setting Off! Heading to Marineford
"The... the three legends actually agreed!"
"Who on earth is that young man!"
"Just now he was called [The Most Heinous Criminal] Rono! I think I've heard this name somewhere!"
"I think so too? But I feel like the existence of this name is very faint!"
Seeing this scene, the prisoners of LV6 widened their eyes one by one, their expressions of disbelief completely shocked!
Three legends actually agreed to join a pirate crew?
Are you kidding me?
These three were all powerhouses with Emperor-level strength!
How could they be willing to be subordinate to others?
It would be good enough if they didn't fight each other on the same ship!
"I... I remember now!"
"[The Most Heinous Criminal] Rono! I've heard this name somewhere!"
"I remember now too!"
Soon, a burst of exclamation erupted in LV6!
After all, those imprisoned here were all serious criminals. Although their strength and status were not as high as Bullet, Redfield, and the others.
But at the very least, they were all notorious and fierce pirates on the sea.
They had heard some rumors.
The major event that influenced the world 36 years ago—
The Battle of God Valley!
The war between the Rocks Pirates and the World Government!
That war was too bloody, causing the World Government to directly conceal its existence!
Resulting in many people now not knowing about the existence of this event!
When these great pirates heard about this from the older generation of pirates, they didn't take it seriously.
After all, the Battle of God Valley was too incredible!
Like a myth, it wasn't something humans could do.
But today, after seeing the main character of that great battle—[The Most Heinous Criminal] Rono!
These prisoners of LV6 finally realized that it wasn't a legend!
[The Most Heinous Criminal] really existed!
And was still alive now!
With his charisma, he easily recruited three legends!
Only a man rumored to have the strength of an Overlord-level powerhouse would have the guts to gather these three legends on the same ship.
"Three more monsters have come!"
Enel felt the terrifying aura emanating from these three people, his heart filled with horror.
On this ship, he was actually the weakest!
God's self-esteem was crushed beyond measure!
"Hahaha, surprisingly smooth!"
Seeing the joining of the three old friends, Rayleigh smiled with satisfaction. This lineup was too terrifying.
Rono, plus Bullet, Redfield, Byrnndi World, and himself.
One Overlord-level pirate, four Emperor-level powerhouses.
Already a notch stronger than the peak Roger Pirates!
Even had the initial charm of the Rocks Pirates back then.
"As expected of Captain Rono..."
Shakky took a drag on her cigarette, her tone calm and unsurprised.
She had always believed in Rono's charm and strength.
"Whitebeard and the Marines have already started fighting. We can go over now."
The all-out war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines had already begun.
The situation was very unfavorable for the Whitebeard Pirates.
"Wait! Although I am insignificant compared to the great figures!"
"But I have an impertinent request, please take me with you!"
"I also want to contribute to [Hero] Rono!"
Just then, another person spoke up, impressively [Knight of the Sea] Jinbe!
"Jinbe? You know me?"
Rono also recognized this honest and simple blue fatty at a glance.
Upright and reliable, his strength was in the middle tier among the Shichibukai.
There was a gap with Emperor-level powerhouses, but he could be considered in the category of great pirates.
But Rono was quite surprised that Jinbe knew him.
After all, when he became famous 36 years ago, Jinbe was probably only 5 or 6 years old.
And hearing Jinbe's address to him, it seemed he had heard it somewhere!
If Rono remembered correctly, Kaido once addressed him like this!
"Lord Rono is joking."
"The title of [Hero] Rono! Who on Fish-Man Island doesn't know?"
"Back then, after you rescued Boss Fisher Tiger from the hands of the Celestial Dragons, you were revered as a hero on Fish-Man Island!"
"Boss Fisher Tiger was also deeply influenced by your slaughter of the Celestial Dragons. He once climbed the Red Line with his bare hands, charged into the Holy Land Mary Geoise alone, and saved a large number of slaves!"
"But Boss Fisher Tiger is already dead. Before he died, he kept thinking of you! So please take me with you!"
"Although my strength is insignificant compared to everyone, I also want to do my part!"
"Those Celestial Dragons have enslaved us fish-men for too long!"
Jinbe said directly to Rono, even with a hint of pleading.
After all, Jinbe also understood Rono's strength!
An Overlord-level pirate, look at his crew!
The Dark King Rayleigh, Bullet, Redfield, Byrnndi World, plus Shakky.
His little strength might not catch the other's eye!
But a great opportunity was right in front of him, and Jinbe didn't want to regret it for the rest of his life!
"No problem..."
Facing Jinbe's request, which was so humble it was almost begging, Rono immediately nodded and agreed.
Rono still recognized Jinbe's character and strength.
Honest, upright, reliable, brave, and righteous.
So Rono cut open the cell and rescued Jinbe almost without any thought.
"Your strength is not enough to be an official member on my ship."
"So you'll be an apprentice like that stupid-looking guy over there."
Rono said to Jinbe.
"I am very satisfied to be on [Hero] Rono's ship, I don't care about being an apprentice or not!"
Jinbe was very excited. To be able to stay by the side of his childhood idol, he would be content even as a handyman.
"Am I not dreaming?"
Jinbe even suspected if he was dreaming?
One day he could actually meet [Hero] Rono in person and join his pirate crew!
"A Shichibukai can't even be an official crew member!"
"What's with this ship!"
Such astonishing conversation made the prisoners of LV6 want to vomit blood!
A great pirate at the Shichibukai level, even in LV6, excluding those legendary pirates with Emperor-level strength, was considered the top tier!
And he could only be an apprentice?
Rono's words immediately eliminated some of the prisoners who also wanted to join.
After all, their strength was far from the threshold of a Shichibukai!
Not even qualified to be an apprentice!
"In that case, take me with you too!"
"It doesn't matter if I become an apprentice... With such a big thing happening, it would be too boring to stay in this prison."
"The outside world must be very interesting."
Just then, another person spoke up.
Impressively, another former Shichibukai, [Sand Crocodile] Crocodile!
"Crocodile!"
"Did I hear that right? Such an arrogant person is willing to become an apprentice?!"
"What's wrong with this world?"
The prisoners of LV6 were shocked again!
Why did even the always arrogant Sand Crocodile want to join, even as an apprentice!
After hearing the name [The Most Heinous Criminal] Rono, Crocodile also knew who this great Buddha in front of him was!
After all, as a former Shichibukai, he still had his own intelligence channels and had naturally heard the rumors of God Valley.
With such a man reappearing in the world, the world would become very interesting!
Crocodile didn't want to miss such a feast either!
It didn't matter even if he became an apprentice.
Although he had great self-esteem and was unwilling to be subordinate to others, facing an Overlord-level powerhouse like Rono.
Insisting on great self-esteem would seem a bit overconfident.
"Hehe, a weakling... are you worthy?"
Bullet also recognized his old acquaintance Crocodile and said mockingly.
The two were of similar age and had a great battle in their youth, which ended in a draw.
After that battle, Crocodile's fame soared, and his strength was also recognized by the World Government, who recruited Crocodile to become a Shichibukai.
But now the strength gap between the two was a bit large.
After all, even in prison for these 20 years, Bullet never forgot to cultivate and become stronger.
In contrast, after being severely beaten by Whitebeard, Crocodile lost his ambition and pinned his hopes on ancient weapons, neglecting to cultivate his own strength, and had fallen behind.
Crocodile didn't retort to Bullet's taunt.
After all, his current strength was indeed not as good as Bullet's, and retorting would only seem incompetent.
"Indeed a bit too weak... I'll count you in for now. If you're really too weak, you'll have to get off the ship."
Rono looked at Crocodile and thought for a while, then decided to absorb him.
Although Crocodile being beaten by a gearless Luffy was indeed a loss of face.
But if he could recover his peak skills, being an apprentice was no problem.
Of course, if he couldn't recover his peak skills, he would just be expelled from the ship, and Rono wouldn't lose anything.
With the joining of Jinbe and Crocodile!
The lineup of the God Slayer Pirates was strengthened again!
Two Shichibukai, four Emperor-level powerhouses, plus Rono!
This lineup was enough to crush any current Emperor-level pirate crew!
If the world knew that so many powerhouses were on one ship!
The title of the Four Emperors would probably have to be changed!
The structure of pirates would probably also change!
"Hahaha, let's go quickly! I can't wait to see that old guy Whitebeard."
"He must be struggling against the Marines right now."
Rayleigh also laughed loudly, urging impatiently!
Although he was in his seventies or eighties!
But seeing old partners and rivals gathered together again on the same ship really made Rayleigh feel the hot-bloodedness of his youth!
The only regret was Roger.
If he were here, it would probably be even more lively!
"Hehe, an all-out war between Whitebeard and the Marines? How interesting!"
"Are we going to make our debut in the war? With us gathered on one ship, the whole world will be startled, right! The Marines will even be scared witless!"
"Of course! But isn't this what we old guys have been looking forward to?"
Bullet, Redfield, and Byrnndi World were also extremely excited!
Making a debut in Marineford with such a lineup!
The world would be shocked!
"Minions! Retreat from this deep-sea prison!"
The goal had been achieved, so there was no need to stay in Impel Down.
With Rono's order, the members of the God Slayer Pirates encountered no decent resistance on their way out.
Even Magellan, facing such a lineup, was instantly killed, life or death unknown!
The members of the God Slayer Pirates also left Impel Down easily and happily and boarded the Ark Maxim!
"Head to Marineford! Announce to those Celestial Dragons that the world is about to change!"
Rono waved his hand, and Enel didn't dare to be slow, quickly activating his fruit ability.
With lightning flashing, the Ark Maxim took off quickly, heading for Marineford at full speed!
