Just now, his Kenbunshoku Haki couldn't find this hidden vault, but the Pano King behind him looked at that wall intentionally or unintentionally, and even had a hint of smugness in his heart, which allowed Nox to find it.
He roughly scanned it and found no famous swords, so he didn't even look at the ordinary treasures.
"Devil Fruit!!!"
It wasn't until he reached the very back of the national treasury that he saw a delicate small box. He knew that this kind of small box usually contained a Devil Fruit.
"Click!!!"
After opening the box, it indeed contained a Devil Fruit.
"Paramecia - Taste-Taste Fruit!!"
When Nox picked up this Devil Fruit and verified it with the Devil Fruit illustration book in his memory, he confirmed the ability of this Devil Fruit.
"No wonder it was left here unused, it turned out to be a useless Devil Fruit."
Nox said speechlessly. This kind of Devil Fruit can change a person's sense of taste. For Nox, it was a very useless and redundant ability, but for some chefs, it was a top-grade Devil Fruit.
"Forget it, I'll keep it for now. Maybe I can trade it later."
Nox thought of Charlotte Linlin; she was very fond of this type of Devil Fruit.
Holding the Devil Fruit, Nox walked out of here and then called Kano and the others to transport the treasures.
"Senior Brother, we're rich!!!"
Kano laughed foolishly after moving boxes of treasures into the ship's cabin.
"Of course we're rich. Later, we'll tally the amount of treasure plundered this time, then set aside thirty percent, and send it to the Rocks Pirates' treasury after returning to Beehive Island."
Nox couldn't help but smile when he saw so much treasure. It was also the first time he had seen so much treasure.
The treasure of the entire Pano Kingdom, even though he only plundered the royal palace and some nobles' treasures, and after deducting the thirty percent given to the Rocks Pirates, the remaining amount was around 1 billion. It was no exaggeration to say that he became rich overnight.
"Let's go. According to the previous plan, we'll rendezvous with the Rocks Pirates' main force. The Marine and World Government reinforcements should have arrived. If we don't rendezvous, we might be defeated one by one."
After the Pano Kingdom was almost completely plundered, Nox ordered them to go and rendezvous with the main force of the Rocks Pirates.
He wasn't blinded by the vast amount of treasure; instead, he saw very clearly that the Marine and World Government would absolutely not allow them to continue plundering. A great battle was imminent.
"Yes, Senior Brother!"
Upon hearing Nox's order, no Pirate dared to disobey. They immediately returned to the Pirate ships. Those disobedient Pirates were all executed.
Within half a day, Nox led the fleet to rendezvous with the main force of the Rocks Pirates.
"Gahahahaha, Nox, it seems you've obtained a good sword."
Upon Nox's arrival, he saw Golden Lion walking over with a magnificent long sword. That sword looked even better than the Fūsetsu Nox had obtained.
"Fifty Excellent Grade Swords, Fūsetsu!"
Nox drew his Fūsetsu and said.
"Gahahahaha, my new sword is one of the Twenty-one Great Grade Swords, Sakura Ten!!!"
Hearing Nox's words, Golden Lion laughed loudly.
"."
Alright, Nox understood why Golden Lion specifically came over. It turned out he came to show off to him. As both were Swordsmen, having a higher quality sword naturally gave them more face.
"The Marine is here!!"
Nox ignored Golden Lion's smug expression and looked solemnly into the distance. In the distance, he could vaguely see the silhouettes of warships.
On the Marine warships
"Fleet Admiral, the Rocks Pirates are on the island ahead!"
Sengoku said, holding binoculars.
"Move closer, land, and then annihilate the Rocks Pirates!!"
Brac said.
"Yes!"
The Marines immediately carried out Brac's order and steered the warships closer.
On the island
All the executive officerss of the Rocks Pirates were gathered together, just waiting for the Marine warships to arrive.
Their plundered treasures were all on the ships, and they wouldn't be foolish enough to fight the Marine at sea. Otherwise, if any ship sank, it would be a heavy loss for them.
"Wahahaha, the Marine is here! Everyone attack! Fight!"
When the Marine warships approached, Rocks said loudly.
"Mad Lion Slash!"
"Air Quake!!"
"Limitless - Sky Breaking Sword Draw!!"
"Elbaf Spear - Ikkoku"
"Rampage Slash!!"
"Giant Axe Impact!!"
"Slaughter Slash!!"
"Death Extreme Wave!!"
"."
As Rocks' words fell, all the executive officerss attacked simultaneously. Huge slashes, intense vibrations, and ultimate killing attacks all struck the approaching warships at the same time, and each attack targeted a different warship.
"Damn Rocks Pirates, launching a sneak attack! All powerhouses above Vice Admiral, stop them immediately!"
Seeing this scene, Brac said something, then immediately rushed out of the warship, using Moonwalk to step into the air, and then intercepted the attack launched by Rocks.
"Bone Fist · Meteor!!"
"Iron Fist - Galaxy Impact!"
"Overlord Impact!!"
"Six Styles Secret Skill - Maximum Ring - Six King Gun!!"
"."
Seeing this scene, many Marine Vice Admirals rushed out of the warships using Moonwalk, then tried to intercept the numerous incoming attacks.
"Boom!!!!"
However, not every Vice Admiral could intercept the attacks of the Rocks Pirates' executive officerss.
Except for Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, Steel Bone, Hannyabal, Brac, and Army General Sola Duul, who could intercept them.
The others were unable to intercept the attacks of the Rocks Pirates' executive officerss. Instead, they were struck by the powerful attacks and sent flying, even shattering the warships behind them.
In just the first exchange, 2 warships were directly sunk.
"Members above Vice Admiral rank, push forward first and cover the warships behind as they land!"
Brac said with a livid face, looking at the 2 sunken warships.
"Rocks, die for me!!!"
Saying this, Brac, along with Steel Bone and Army General Sola Duul, rushed towards Rocks. They believed that as long as they captured Rocks, the remaining Rocks Pirates would not be a threat.
"Wahahaha, Brac, so it's you, old fellow. You're already so old, why aren't you retiring quickly? You still dare to come before me. Today, I will send you to your grave completely, no need for retirement."
Even seeing three Admiral-level powerhouses, Rocks was still fearless. He also rushed into the sky, clashing head-on with the three Admiral-level powerhouses.
Under Nox's Kenbunshoku Haki, he could clearly perceive that the three Marine powerhouses were all very powerful.
Each of them was stronger than him, yet these three powerhouses, facing Rocks, couldn't even suppress him!!
