"God Valley... an island known as the dwelling place of the gods!" Fang Yi said, looking a bit grim. "I only heard about it when I was inquiring about ancient scripts. It's a playground for a bunch of guys who claim to be gods!"
"Guys who claim to be gods? Who are they? How dare they claim to be gods? That's just too arrogant!" Shanks asked with a curious look on his face.
"In this world... besides them, who else would claim to be gods? They're just a bunch of parasites!" Fang Yi shook his head and replied.
"Parasites? Wait... Brother Yi, you're not talking about the Celestial Dragons, are you?" Shanks was so shocked that his jaw dropped.
"Right, Xiaoyi is quite right, but not entirely. God Valley is a vacation island developed by the World Government for the Celestial Dragons. It's a paradise for the rich and a hell for commoners and slaves. There's the world's largest slave trading place. The pirate crew I mentioned before allied with many pirates who had been oppressed by the Celestial Dragons. Then they planned to attack God Valley!" Rayleigh nodded and said.
"Are they crazy? Since there are Celestial Dragons there, the World Government won't just sit back and do nothing! The Navy must have deployed a massive military force there. How could they possibly think they can capture God Valley?" Fang Yi asked in confusion.
Shanks looked at Roger, as if asking what they should do.
"So it's quite a tough situation now!" Rayleigh shook his head and said.
"Anyway... let's go over there and see the situation first!" In the end, it was Roger who made the decision.
To be honest, pirates generally don't engage in direct conflict with the Navy. There's not much chance of winning.
As the most powerful force on the sea, the Navy is extremely powerful. Don't assume that just because the Roger Pirates have many powerful members, they can go head-to-head with the Navy. They can only run away.
But those pirates who plan to attack God Valley are somewhat acquainted with them. If they didn't know about it, it would be fine. Now that they know, it's not their style to do nothing.
Just as the Roger Pirates were about to head towards God Valley, countless pirate ships gathered at the port of Demon Island.
"Captain Rocks, this is all the information we know! But we on Demon Island don't plan to get involved in this matter. You know, the Celestial Dragons are our big customers behind the scenes!" In a meeting room, a somewhat thin-looking man in gorgeous clothes said to a fierce-looking man.
"Tsk tsk tsk... You're really unworthy dogs! Your master is in danger, and you're remaining indifferent!" The man called Rocks said with a sneer, clicking his tongue.
His words made the people on Demon Island's side in the meeting room a bit angry, but the thin man at the head shook his head and said, "Hahaha... You're right, but who would have thought that the world's number one underground force is just a dog of the Celestial Dragons? And this dog also wants freedom!"
"I don't care what your goals are. Just provide me with enough weapons and food!"
Of course, I don't mind if you report this matter up!" After Rocks finished speaking, he got up and left directly.
"Sir, this guy is so arrogant!" After Rocks left, a warden of Alcatraz said indignantly.
"Idiot! Do you know who he is? He's the captain of the world's strongest pirate crew! He has the power to change the world! Besides, do you think those idiots could have attacked the Celestial Dragons on their own? If it weren't for his push, those pirates wouldn't have dared to go to God Valley even if they had a hundred guts!" The leader of Alcatraz said calmly.
"Ah?" After hearing what his leader said, the subordinate was extremely surprised and asked in confusion, "What... what does he plan to do?"
"What does he plan to do? He plans to... change the world! Those guys from the D Clan... are really all crazy! But it's just right. We can take advantage of this incident to break free from the control of the Celestial Dragons! Have you found all the World Government people on the island?" the leader asked, squinting his eyes.
"Yes, sir. We've kept an eye on those CP members and can act at any time!"
"Don't be careless. Go down! Make sure to prepare everything Captain Rocks needs perfectly, without any mistakes!" The leader nodded and gave the order.
On the other hand, after leaving the meeting room, Rocks gathered his crew at the largest hotel in the city.
"Hey, Captain... why did you call us here at this time? This is really a great place!" John, one of the senior cadres, looked listless and kept yawning as he asked Rocks.
He had just gotten out of bed with a beautiful woman. For pirates, this place was simply paradise. As long as you had money, you could have everything here and enjoy the feeling of being an emperor.
"Wa ha ha ha... Don't be impatient, guys. We'll stay here for a few more days!" Rocks didn't mind John's words at all and laughed heartily. "We'll set off after the weapons and food are delivered in a few days!"
"Well, well, Captain, you didn't call us here just to announce this, did you?" Charlotte Linlin, with her enchanting figure, said with a strange smile.
Although she had already given birth to several children, her figure was still quite good.
"Of course!" Rocks gradually stopped smiling and said, "Our next target, the island, is... God Valley!"
"God Valley!?"
Rocks' words made all the cadres look at him.
"That's right, it's God Valley!" Rocks grinned and said, "With those pirates paving the way for us, we can test the Navy's deployment there! And with the resources from Alcatraz, our goal this time... is to kidnap all the Celestial Dragons there!"
"Jie ha ha ha ha... Captain, are you going all out this time?" Shiki, with his blond hair, asked, holding a cigar in his mouth.
He thought Rocks' intention was to kidnap the Celestial Dragons and then extort ransom from the World Government.
"So, what's the attack plan?" Edward Newgate, with a poker face, suddenly asked.
As the second - most powerful fighter on the ship after Captain Rocks, even Captain Rocks had to take his words into serious consideration.
"It's simple! Once those guys start their attack, Newgate, Charlotte Linlin, Shiki, and Silver Axe, you four will attack God Valley from four directions! John and Wang Zhi, follow me and charge straight towards the location of the Celestial Dragons!" Captain Rocks said with a smile.
"What a straightforward battle plan!" Wang Zhi, who had been silent by the side, nodded and said.
He was also one of the senior cadres, and he and John could be said to be Captain Rocks' confidants. Different from the powerful figures like Edward Newgate and Charlotte Linlin, they had been following Captain Rocks from the very beginning.
"Captain, won't our forces be too scattered this way?" John frowned slightly and asked.
"Scattered? No, do you think the Navy has anyone who can stop us?" Captain Rocks asked with a loud laugh.
John suddenly understood. He knew very well how powerful Newgate and the others were as their companion.
To stop them, the Navy would have to dispatch combatants of at least the vice - admiral level. Moreover, these vice - admirals would have to be front - line powerhouses, like "Black Wrist" Zephyr, Garp, and Sengoku.
But would the Navy place all their front - line vice - admirals in God Valley? Impossible, because they also had to capture pirates, so they couldn't just act as protectors for the Celestial Dragons.
Moreover, even if there were powerful figures guarding God Valley, when Newgate and the others launched their attack, those powerful figures definitely wouldn't be able to sit still and would have to go and stop them.
And at that time, with Wang Zhi and John by his side, Captain Rocks would charge straight into the location of the Celestial Dragons, and no one would be able to stop them!
"So, does anyone have any objections?" Captain Rocks looked around and asked with a gentle smile.
Seeing that no one spoke up, Captain Rocks nodded and said, "We'll set sail in three days!"
"Sure, Captain. But this place is nice. Let's come here again next time!" John said with a big smile.
"No problem... Next time, this place will belong to us! Ha - ha - ha..." Captain Rocks said with a loud laugh.
Everyone else also burst into laughter, except for Whitebeard (Edward Newgate), the future leader of the Four Emperors and the big-time pirate.
He always had a hunch that this battle wouldn't go smoothly at all.
On the other hand, the Roger Pirates, who were heading towards God Valley, were in trouble at this moment.
"Damn it! How the hell did we bump into that bastard Garp here!" Looking at the naval warship chasing closely behind, Jabba was really speechless.
Last time, they were unlucky enough to meet the on - leave Navy vice - admiral, "Black Wrist" Zephyr, on a small island. As a result, they were forced to set sail and flee before they could even purchase enough supplies.
This time, they were even more unlucky. They were just fishing and actually ran into Garp.
Since Fang Yi used the magical fishing bait to catch Wang Zai and the sea monster, he himself knew that the so - called magical fishing bait could catch all kinds of strange things.
So when sailing and feeling occasionally bored, Fang Yi would also use this magical fishing bait. It was like opening a blind box. You never knew what you would catch, which gave people a strange sense of anticipation.
But after the crew members used the magical fishing bait many times, they couldn't help but feel strange. After all, every time the magical fishing bait was used, some strange things would be caught.
So Fang Yi told the crew that he made a kind of fishing bait with many strange materials. Since the materials were hard to find, there weren't many; however, this fishing bait could always catch some strange things.
Since Fang Yi knew quite a lot of things, whether it was music, medicine, painting, or navigation, he knew a bit of everything. So the crew members weren't too surprised. They just asked him to give them some after he made more.
This time, Jaba used the magical fishing bait because he felt a bit bored. As a result, he caught a very strange fish that emitted a golden light all over its body. Unfortunately, the strange fish escaped when it was almost caught.
However, just as everyone was working together to catch up with the strange fish, they encountered a naval warship. Just our luck, it was exactly Garp's dog - headed warship. Now everyone didn't care about the strange fish anymore and immediately turned the ship around and fled.
"What a pity! That fish must have tasted delicious!" Looking at the strange fish disappearing not far away, Roger said rather regretfully.
"Come on! Let's think about how to get rid of that bastard Garp first! He's like glue. Once he spots us, we can't shake him off!" Jaba felt so unlucky that he even ran into Garp while chasing a fish.
