Chapter 16.

"Finally it's responding!!!" Valentine exclaimed as his Zanpakuto got a spirit after a full month of feeding it with Spiritual Energy.

After that Valentine sat down, closed his eyes focusing his attention on the Asauchi in order to enter his Zanpakuto's world.

When Valentine entered the Zanpakuto spirit's world, he appeared in a boundless white desert. There was no sun but a full silver moon shining upon the desert in the dark sky. There were strange white trees here and there that could be seen from afar.

After inspecting for a while Valentine walked towards the large fortress that may have been built with the same material as the trees. The fortress was enormous and magnificent.

Upon entering Valentine was greeted by nothing. There was nothing inside this fortress. Because of the Valentine wandered around the fortress trying to find the spirit that should be residing inside this world.

After a few hours later, Valentine was standing in front of an enormous gate which was the last remaining door he didn't open. Due to this Valentine was sure his Zanpakuto spirit should be residing behind the gate.

When Valentine slightly touched the gates, they automatically opened, welcoming Valentine into a large room. Inside the room was a singular figure sitting on the large throne in the middle of the room.

The figure has wavy obsidian black hair which kept messy, pale white skin as if he was a ghost, a defined jawline, a sharp gaze in his violet pupils, and his clothes were all in white color.

The figure stared at Valentine with a smirk on his face before opening his mouth, saying

"...."

Valentine opened his eyes seeing the golden rays of the sun.

After that Valentine walked in the direction of the village to bid his farewell since it was his time to go.

As he neared the village he noticed a commotion. Due to this Valentine hastened his pace.

"What is happening?" Valentine asked the elder.

"A ship is approaching our island." The elder replied.

"What about that? Isn't ship coming to this isolated island good?" Valentine knew something was a bit off. But he tried to act oblivious to this since he might be wrong.

"Usually it is. But that ship is the ship of the human traffickers arrived before." The elder sighed.

"It's okay. I will take care of this." Valentine stated which made the elder happy, at the same time he also felt as if he was just leeching off Valentine. Though he felt like this there wasn't a thing he could do. Because of this the elder just thanked Valentine.

Valentine went to the shore, lifted his left arm, pointing his index finger in the direction of the ship, gathering an enormous amount of Spiritual Energy in his index finger, creating a Spiritual Energy ball to fire Cero. But Cero of this time was a bit different from all the Cero he had used before. It was much stronger than all of them.

"Cero!!!" Valentine exclaimed and fired a Cero.

The Cero hurled towards the ship. When the Cero came to contact with the ship, a large wave of the tsunami was created because of the shock.

A few days passed and Valentine was currently escorted by a pirate crew to an island called Sabaody Archipelago. From pirates' word Valentine understood the island they were heading towards is actually a mangrove giant forest growing out from the middle of the ocean.

While Valentine was being escorted by the pirates, he got a little information from them. But that pieces of information were enough for Valentine.

The first thing he learned was the existence of the Revolutionary Army led by Dragon. The Revolutionary Army seemed to have the same motive as Valentine which was to overthrow World Government. Thus, Valentine decided to cooperate with them if possible since even if Valentine had gained many abilities he was alone and because he was alone he cannot defeat an organization that ruled over the world for 800 years no matter how strong he was. So Valentine needed partners and Revolutionary Army was perfect for that.

The second thing Valentine learned was also the existence of the 4 strongest pirates, the Yonkos. Yonkos were the rulers of the sea, each of them has power rivaling that of Marine. Though they were famous and strong they didn't attract Valentine's attention, after all, they were just pirates with no motive other than to search for treasures.

And the last thing he learned was he already had a bounty. And his bounty was over 200 million Berries which was surprising for Valentine since all he did was hunt down pirates which should be beneficial for the Marine though he killed one of the 7 Warlords.

Soon after Valentine and the pirate crew arrived at Sabaody Archipelago.

Though Valentine decided to overthrow the World Government, he still couldn't contain his curiosity and went to explore the mangrove forest island.

On this island, there were many things Valentine had never seen before. But the thing Valentine was most interested in was an amusement park. In the amusement park, he decided to play everything before going 'dark'.

But during his exploration, Valentine heard something. It was a talk between two ladies who wore extremely shiny accessories and elegant dresses as if they were trying to tell others they were rich. Their talk was about human auctioning that was being held in section number 1 currently.

After hearing this cheerful smile on Valentine's face turned into a gloomy and fierce one as it was time he stops playing around and goes dark.

Then Valentine slowly walked towards section 1 which he arrived soon.

Upon arrival, Valentine saw a large mansion with 'HUMAN' written on the top of the gate.

Even though Valentine wanted to destroy this place using Cero he chose not to since he might injure the innocent slaves alongside the buyers. Thus, Valentine entered the building to kill every single person inside the building no matter who they were except slaves.

"Stop there!!!"

When Valentine was about to enter the building he was stopped by guards dispatched on the gate.

In response, Valentine summoned Emperor and killed all of the guards with a single bullet for each.

After killing the guards, Valentine entered the building without hindrance.

"500000000!!!"

When Valentine entered he heard someone bidding. Valentine looked at the stage, seeing a mermaid being shackled inside the glass tank full of water. Then Valentine looked at the person who bid such a high amount of money. Valentine's eyes grew larger and bloodshot formed inside his eyes as he remembers the outfit the person was wearing. The person was, without a doubt, Celestial Dragon.

Valentine summoned his Stand Emperor and shot the Celestial Dragon from behind.

The Celestial Dragon fell to the ground. As he fell, there was blood gushing out from the back of his. It caused a huge uproar inside the building.

The people nearby looked at the culprit with shock in their eyes as they never thought someone would dare to kill Celestial Dragon.

After killing the Celestial Dragon, Valentine started to kill others, mercilessly, causing an even huger uproar, not knowing an Admiral from headquarters of Marine was on his way.
