"Gol D. Roger, you are also a member of the D family, and a Pirate, why would you ally with the Marine and the World Government to deal with me!!"
Rocks was being brutally beaten by Roger and the other four, just as he had initially brutalized Five Elders Saturn Saint.
Extremely angry, Rocks couldn't help but roar.
He could accept his Executive Officers betraying him, at least the allied Marine and World Government would deal with his Executive Officers.
But Roger was a Pirate, and a Pirate allying with the World Government and Marine to deal with him, who was also a Pirate—Rocks couldn't understand this logic at all.
"Hmph, Rocks, your existence is a tumor on the World. As long as you are here, this World will continue to be chaotic. Only by killing you can this World return to peace, and everyone can freely adventure on the Sea."
Roger said coldly.
At this moment, Roger was the main force dealing with Rocks, which meant he himself was not having an easy time; he was the one hit the most by Roger.
In just half a day, even though Rocks was constantly being beaten, when he counterattacked, he still left Roger covered in injuries.
Of his entire body, only the straw hat on his head was still intact; the rest was already tattered and damaged.
"Rocks, you killed Marshal Brac, you deserve to die!!"
"Today, I will avenge Marshal Brac!"
Garp at this moment was like an unkillable cockroach. Even though he had taken many attacks from Rocks before, and was severely injured, he still stubbornly continued to swing his Brac iron fist at Rocks.
Five Elders Saturn Saint and Saint Garling did not speak, but silently joined forces to deal with Rocks.
For them, allying with a Pirate to deal with Rocks was their humiliation!!
But in order to protect themselves and seize this rare opportunity to kill Rocks, they endured it. Everything else could wait until after Rocks was killed!
Nox and the others returned to the Pirate Crew. After storing the treasures, they stood together silently, gazing at God Valley ahead.
They stood there for three days and three nights. Almost all the Marine and World Government personnel within God Valley had been killed by the Pirates.
Although many Pirates also suffered heavy casualties, they returned to their ships with satisfied smiles.
Many Executive Officers stood on the Pirate Crew, quietly watching the battle in God Valley.
At the same time, they were also ready to take action at any moment.
If the Marine and Roger failed to kill Rocks, or if Rocks escaped back.
These Executive Officers would definitely take action immediately, uniting to kill Rocks.
Since they had already betrayed Rocks, they absolutely could not let Rocks live.
They all knew that fighting alone or even together as two was no match for Rocks, and there was even a possibility of being counter-killed by Rocks.
Therefore, to completely eliminate the threat, they didn't mind joining forces to kill Rocks.
As for whether they could kill Rocks, they had never doubted this point.
In this World, there was no one that the ten of them together couldn't kill!
The battle in God Valley continued to rage, becoming more and more intense. The entire God Valley was on the verge of collapsing and being completely destroyed after three days and three nights of fighting.
"Divine Departure!!!"
"Bone Fist: Crushing Galaxy!!"
Roger and Garp coordinated perfectly, their Haoshoku Haki even showing a tendency to merge. Together, they blasted down from the sky towards Rocks below!!
"Shura Ultimate Kill!"
Rocks also launched a full-power strike towards Roger and Garp in the sky.
But at the same time, under the combined attack of Saint Garling and Saturn Saint, Rocks' shura sword was sent flying.
Without his weapon, Rocks was hit head-on by Roger and Garp, who blasted Rocks into the ground, causing the entire island to shatter.
Rocks was also blasted into the Sea as a result.
Roger and Garp even rushed into the Sea to ensure Rocks was killed.
"Chasing the Moon!!!"
Nox, who was very sensitive to Sword Intent, immediately rushed out of the Pirate Crew and flew into the sky.
Golden Lion and the others looked at the rushing Nox in surprise, not knowing what Nox was going to do. Was he going to interfere in the battle within God Valley?
Just as everyone was wondering, a stream of light shot out from within God Valley, and Nox reached out and grabbed that stream of light.
"shura sword!!!"
The flying stream of light was precisely Rocks' personal sword, one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Swords, the shura sword, known as the number one killing sword!
Looking at the shura sword in Nox's hand, Golden Lion and the others' eyes showed greed.
After all, it was a Supreme Grade Sword, and Rocks' personal sword. Who wouldn't want it? Especially Golden Lion and Wang Zhi, who were also Swordsmen.
"Tsk tsk tsk, Rocks' personal sword was even blown away. Could it be that he's already dead!"
Nox directly ignored the greed in Golden Lion and the others' eyes, returned to the ship's bow calmly, and skillfully hung the shura sword at his waist, pairing it with Futsu no Mitama.
"I say, Nox, don't you already have the Seven Star Sword? Why don't you sell the two swords at your waist to me? Name your price, even trading for a Devil Fruit is completely fine."
Golden Lion looked at the shura sword and Futsu no Mitama at Nox's waist, his eyes burning with desire as he spoke.
"I'm preparing to practice the Three-Sword Style, so I need three swords. Not for sale!"
Nox casually rejected Golden Lion's suggestion.
Are you kidding? These are Supreme Grade Swords, rare in the World, and cannot be measured by money.
As a Swordsman, even if he couldn't use that many swords, having two Supreme Grade Swords hanging at his waist was also a symbol of his strength and status.
"Tch!!!"
Hearing this, Golden Lion pouted and turned his head to look towards God Valley, regretting only that he had been a step too late in taking action just now.
He let Nox get there first, otherwise, the shura sword would have been his.
"Rumble!!!"
After the God Valley island was destroyed, the Roger Pirates escaped from it, followed closely by Garp and the others.
Among them, the members of the Roger Pirates also took advantage of the chaos to bring two treasure chests onto the ship.
"Hey, Roger, how's the result?"
Nox shouted to Roger.
"Hahahaha, Rocks has been killed by us!"
"Cough cough!!!"
Roger shouted excitedly, but because he shouted too loudly, it aggravated his internal injuries, causing him to cough up two mouthfuls of blood, but his face still beamed with a smile.
"Rocks is dead!!!"
This news, coming from Roger's mouth, caused all the Executive Officers present to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Captain Rocks is actually dead!!"
"How could this be? Captain Rocks is actually dead, but the Executive Officers seem to be very happy."
"The Executive Officers actually didn't go to help Captain Rocks, but let others kill Captain Rocks!"
"..."
Roger's words were heard by almost all the Pirates on the various Pirate Crew.
Many Pirates were surprised, but not overly so.
After all, they had seen the Executive Officers not going to help Captain Rocks before.
As the small fry of the Rocks Pirates, they were Pirates themselves and had no fanatical loyalty to Rocks. Naturally, they didn't have any excessive reaction to Rocks' death.
"Kekekekeke, Rocks is finally dead!"
Golden Lion was the happiest one when he heard Rocks was dead!
John, Wang Zhi, and other Executive Officers had already returned to the Pirate Crew, quietly waiting for Rocks' death.
"Since Rocks is dead, then the Gorosei and Garp, and that Celestial Dragon, cannot be let go!"
Nox held the Seven Star Sword, his gaze fixed on Garp, the Gorosei, and Saint Garling, the three who were leaving the shattered God Valley.
These three were the top combat forces of the World Government. If they could be eliminated, it would be a huge benefit to their Pirate side.
"Kekekekeke, the Gorosei who stand at the pinnacle of World power? Just right, I also want to kill a Gorosei and see what it feels like!"
Upon hearing Nox's words, Golden Lion, who had the ambition to rule the World, naturally agreed completely.
Then he directly controlled the ship under his feet to fly towards God Valley.
"gura rara rara, Nox, since you two want to, I'll join in too!"
Whitebeard, Nox, and Shiki were on the same ship, so they naturally went together.
Charlotte Linlin, who was also on the same ship, was passively carried along with Nox and the others.
"Yohohohoho, that's the Gorosei! I also want to taste his blood!"
It wasn't just Nox and the four of them; the remaining six Rocks Pirates Executive Officers also followed in their footsteps.
It wasn't because they, like Nox, had a strong desire to kill the Gorosei and reduce the World Government's fighting strength.
It was because they all knew that to leave the West Blue, they needed to rely on Golden Lion Shiki's power.
Otherwise, they didn't have the power to cross the Calm Belt.
They were even less willing to return to the New World from Fish-Man Island beneath the Red Line, because the danger would be far too great.
If the World Government found out, they would definitely set up an inescapable net to ambush them.
Therefore, no matter what, they had to stand on the same front as Shiki and the others now!
"Damn Rocks remnants!!!"
Seeing Shiki and the ten Executive Officers flying over, Garp and the others said angrily.
Gorosei Saturn Saint, Garp, and Saint Garling were already seriously injured from fighting Rocks, and their stamina was severely depleted, so they were far from their peak and could easily be surrounded and killed by the Rocks Executive Officers!
Even if the two CP0 Deputy Chiefs hadn't participated in the battle against Rocks, even with the two of them, they still appeared incredibly weak in front of the ten Rocks Pirates Executive Officers.
"Captain!!"
Gaban looked at the stopped Roger and couldn't help but call out.
Gaban knew about Nox's actions, but Gaban believed that their Roger Pirates shouldn't get involved.
What's more, Roger was seriously injured now; if he got involved, he might be jointly beaten to death by those guys!
"Roger, let's go."
Rayleigh had the same idea as Gaban; their target was Rocks, and now that Rocks was dead, they should leave.
As for the matters between the World Government and the Rocks remnants, it was indeed none of their business.
"Go!"
Roger gritted his teeth and finally decided not to get involved.
He was mainly worried about that guy Garp, but thinking that guy wasn't a Devil Fruit user and should be able to escape, he decided not to bother.
After all, he wasn't alone; he was the Captain of the Roger Pirates, and he couldn't risk his crew for the World Government.
"Hmph, without Rocks' Dark-Dark Fruit suppression, do you think I would still fear you!"
Gorosei Saturn Saint snorted coldly, his entire body completely transformed into a giant spider.
At the same time, bursts of violent spatial fluctuations shone from his body, forming a dazzling light like a magical array on his huge body.
"Not good, don't let him complete that magic ritual!"
Seeing the appearance of the magic array on Gorosei Saturn Saint, Nox unleashed a slash from thousands of meters away and sent it hurtling over.
"Wave Slash!!"
When Golden Lion saw Nox's action, he immediately followed up by unleashing two slashes as well.
"Bone Fist!!"
"Star Shattering Slash!"
However, Nox's and Golden Lion's slashes were too far away, and with Garp and Saint Garling guarding nearby, Nox's and Golden Lion's slashes did not affect the summoning array on Saturn Saint.
When the other Executive Officers wanted to attack, they saw that the magic array on Saturn Saint was already complete.
"Saturn Saint, I didn't expect you to use this move only now!"
The moment the magic array was completed, four figures appeared on Saturn Saint's massive spider back.
They were the other four Gorosei who stood at the pinnacle of power.
Garp looked at this scene with some shock, not expecting Saturn Saint to still have a hidden move.
However, Garp couldn't understand why Saturn Saint didn't use it earlier. If he had used this move earlier, perhaps he could have kept Roger and the others as well.
No, Garp quickly understood. Before Roger joined, Saturn Saint was suppressed by Rocks' Dark-Dark Fruit and couldn't use it.
After Roger arrived, Saturn Saint no longer had Rocks' suppression, but if he used this move, it might force Roger to retreat, or it might cause other Rocks Pirates Executive Officers to take action.
"This guy has teleportation ability and can teleport the other Gorosei over."
Nox frowned as he looked at the four newly appeared Gorosei.
"Kekekekeke, isn't that just perfect? Kill all five Gorosei together!"
Golden Lion said fearlessly.
The Gorosei plus the four top powerhouses like Garp were only nine in total, and three of them, including Garp, were seriously injured. Meanwhile, their side had ten fully capable peak Officers; killing them was not a problem!
"It's too late!"
Nox sighed and looked at the several giant ships sailing from afar, which were Marine warships.
At the forefront of the warships were Fleet Admiral Kong, Admiral Sengoku and Zephyr, as well as two Army Admirals and an Army Marshal.
For this God Valley battle, it could be said that the World Government had dispatched all the top powerhouses they could!
In that case, even without counting the three injured people, Garp, Saturn Saint, and Saint Garling, the World Government side had 12 top powerhouses.
The Pirate side only had 10 top powerhouses; they couldn't win!
"Kekekekeke, there's plenty of time in the future; let's return to the New World first!"
Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Golden Lion decisively manipulated his ship to retreat, then took the other ships into the air and returned to the New World!
"Float-Float Fruit? What a difficult Devil Fruit to deal with!"
Looking at the numerous Rocks Pirates Pirate Crew flying away, the Gorosei and others frowned.
None of them could stop Golden Lion and the others who wanted to leave; the Float-Float Fruit's flying ability was too strong, and they couldn't stop it.
"Damn Golden Lion!"
Saturn Saint said through gritted teeth, having exposed his ability to summon his companions, only to find that the Pirates ran away after they arrived!
This made him feel like he was punching cotton.
Thus, the battle of God Valley concluded!!
The Celestial Dragons held a celebration, the Marine surrounded God Valley, the Rocks Pirates broke through, killed the Celestial Dragons, stole the treasures, and it ended with the death of Rocks!
After the numerous Rocks Pirates Executive Officers returned to Beehive Island, they all went to the conference room where Rocks had previously gathered them for a meeting.
However, Rocks was now dead, and the Executive Officers present were no longer just Executive Officers, but the Captains of each pirate group, representing individual interests.
"Rocks is dead, so his treasures and the Pirates under him are his inheritance."
"Now, how to distribute this vast inheritance should be our biggest goal for sitting here!"
"So, I think, since everyone is willing to sit here, you must want to distribute it peacefully, rather than fighting for it by strength?"
Nox's words broke the silence in the room.
The Executive Officers present had the same thought in mind: wasn't it all about profit?
Rocks' inheritance was so vast that no single person present could take it all, nor could any small group take it all, which is why they all came to sit here by unspoken agreement.
"Nox, just say what you want to say. If we could have taken it, we would have done so already!"
John said discontentedly.
They returned to Beehive Island together, and no one was faster than anyone else. It was impossible to snatch the treasures under the eyes of so many Executive Officers, not even Golden Lion with the Float-Float Fruit could do it.
John said this also because he knew that Nox could come up with a distribution plan that would satisfy them all.
After all, Rocks used to frequently ask for Nox's opinion.
As for the others, they were all Pirates; if they were asked to come up with plans, they would only come up with plans that were beneficial to themselves and harmful to others.
The only person who could step forward and resolve it peacefully was Nox.
"Since that's the case, I'll be direct."
"Ordinary treasures will be distributed equally. Devil Fruits will be locked in boxes and distributed equally without identification. If the number is insufficient, choose either treasures or Devil Fruits."
"As for the Pirates who were originally under Rocks, recruit them yourselves, or let them choose for themselves. Executive Officers are not allowed to have conflicts during this time."
"How about it?"
Nox directly stated his plan.
"Kekekekeke, although I'm very unhappy about distributing it equally with them, to maximize profits, it seems this is the only way."
Golden Lion said.
The other Executive Officers also had no objection to Nox's distribution plan. Relatively speaking, this guaranteed the interests of all Executive Officers.
