"Oh hahahaha, I'm really looking forward to it. From now on, all the gold in the sky will be ours!"
When John heard about the gold in the sky, his eyes immediately lit up.
Even though he plundered a lot of treasure this time, for John, who valued money more than his life, no amount of treasure was enough!
Two months later, many executives of the Rocks Pirates arrived as promised.
Rocks didn't say anything more, and just like last time, everyone got their own nautical chart.
Then three teams were formed to plunder the heavenly gold in the new world.
However, this time, due to the vigilance and changes of the World Government, many cadres of the Rocks Pirates only looted 12 copies in total.
For the Rocks Pirates, they felt it was a pity.
But for the world government, it is a huge matter.
Last time, the Rocks Pirates took the enemy by surprise and had a traitor, but this time, their World Government had already made sufficient preparations.
Twelve pieces of Tianshang Gold were intercepted, which was a great shame.
However, the World Government was just angry, but did not do anything irrational.
After all, the power of the Rocks Pirates is too terrifying, and it is impossible to completely destroy them in a short period of time.
On the Rocks Pirates side, after looting the Tenjo Gold, many of their leaders left the Beehive Island one after another.
Having obtained a large amount of treasure, they frantically expanded their influence and strengthened their strength.
As their power and strength continue to grow, their ambitions are also growing.
In the past, they were afraid of Rocks' strength, even though Rocks demonstrated the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit and killed Navy Marshal Black.
But this cannot suppress the cadres' ever-expanding hearts. Who among them is not a monster?
Who is not ambitious? Who is not confident in himself?
What's more, they all knew that Rocks' strength had reached its limit and that he was old.
Even though Rocks now has the ability of the Dark-Dark Fruit, it is already amazing that he can maintain his strength and not decline with the passage of time.
Rocks is no longer an unreachable mountain, but a mountain whose summit can be seen.
The mountains that were once covered by clouds and mist have now been cleared of clouds and mist, just waiting for them to climb and cross!
Lockes himself knows best what his cadres are thinking.
But he did not stop it, nor did he suppress it, but let it develop naturally.
Because he knew clearly that all this was the result of his own indulgence, or in other words, he was completely unafraid of the cadres' ambitions.
As long as they can come and help him fight when he, Rocks, gives the order.
"Let me see what kind of devil fruits these are!"
Li Yuan put together all the devil fruits he had obtained during this period.
He did not identify these devil fruits at first, but waited until he intercepted the Tenshangjin before identifying these devil fruits together.
It's like opening a blind box, giving people a feeling of anticipation.
"Parahuman Mirror-Mirror Fruit!"
"Paradox-type Spicy Fruit!"
"Parahuman Eyebrow Fruit!"
"Parahuman Squeeze Fruit!"
"Paradoxic Tongue-Tongue Fruit!"
"Normal Animal Type·Pig-Pig Fruit·Saw-toothed Boar Form!!"
"Normal Animal System·Duck-Duck Fruit·Long-billed Duck Form!!"
"Normal Animal System·Pony-Pony Fruit·Colorful Horse Form!!"
After identifying all eight devil fruits, Li Yuan was speechless. Except for the Mirror-Mirror Fruit, the other devil fruits were almost useless.
"Mirror-Mirror Fruit, I didn't expect this devil fruit would fall into my hands. This is a strategic-level devil fruit."
"Even if the other devil fruits are useless, as long as you get this devil fruit, everything will be worth it."
Li Yuan didn't expect that he directly intercepted the devil fruit obtained by Charlotte Linlin in the original work.
After collecting all the other devil fruits, Li Yuan found Xia Qi with the Mirror Fruit.
"Xia Qi, this is the Parahuman Mirror-Mirror Fruit. It suits you very well."
"The Mirror-Mirror Fruit can create mirrors, and it can also create a mirror world space, connecting all the mirrors."
"The user can enter the mirror world and, through different mirrors, teleport from one mirror to another in the real world."
"In addition, since other people cannot freely travel through the mirror without the ability user's consent or without touching it, the enemy can be blocked through this."
"It is worth noting that if you appear in front of a mirror in the mirror world, the person on the other side of the mirror will see you, and the mirror does not block out sound, so you can also use the same mirror to communicate."
"In addition to these auxiliary functions, you can also use the mirror in your hand as a shield to defend against enemy attacks, and even rebound the enemy's attacks."
"The person with the ability can also shine the mirror through the person and project it onto an animal or themselves, thereby imitating their appearance and movements."
Li Yuan explained all the abilities of the Mirror-Mirror Fruit.
He thought that this was very suitable for Xia Qi, an intelligence agent.
As long as Xia Qi has this devil fruit, there will be no danger if she is careful.
After all, the Mirror-Mirror Fruit's ability to escape is first-class.
"Li Yuan, thank you, this devil fruit is really suitable for me!"
When Xia Qi heard Li Yuan's introduction, she realized that this was the devil fruit that Li Yuan had chosen specifically for her.
As she said that, Xia Qi ate the Mirror Fruit.
"Mirror creation!"
After eating the devil fruit, Xia Qi began to create a huge mirror, and also created a huge mirror space inside the mirror.
"Li Yuan, let's go in and take a look!!"
Xia Qi happily took Li Yuan into the mirror space she created.
It's just that the mirror space today is very monotonous and there is only one mirror.
"Xia Qi, shouldn't we develop such a good place?"
After saying that, Li Yuan hugged Xia Qi and his hands started to get naughty.
Wouldn't it be a pity if you couldn't develop your hobbies in such a closed mirror space?
"No, don't be so anxious, I'll create a mirror bed!" Seeing Li Yuan's anxious look, Xia Qi blushed and used her ability to create a sturdy bed made of mirrors.
They also created a lot of mirrors around them so that they could see each other from all directions.
Even when they are exercising, when they look into the mirror, it is like watching live sports.
This unique interest made Li Yuan feel very novel.
Another year passed, and it was the year 1484 of the Kaien calendar:
on Beehive Island, the leaders of the Rocks Pirates had not come for a long time, and Rocks had also left Beehive Island and his whereabouts were unknown during this period.
But when Rocks and many cadres were away, Rocks' treasure house on Beehive Island was stolen!
Yes, Rocks's things were stolen! !
"Damn it, who stole my things!!!"
When Rocks came back and saw that the most important things in his treasury had been stolen, his angry domineering aura rose to the sky. Many innocent pirates on the Beehive Island were directly hit and knocked unconscious by his domineering aura.
"Investigate it for me. If I find out who did it, I will kill him all over the country!!"
After calming down, Rocks immediately asked his intelligence department to thoroughly investigate the matter.
But because it was too embarrassing, Rocks did not announce it publicly, but investigated secretly. Except for a few people, no one knew that Rocks' treasure house had been stolen.
Holy Land Marijoa:
"The triennial ceremony has begun. Has the venue been chosen?"
The God of Law, Woqiulisheng, asked.
"It has been chosen. It will be located in the Valley of Gods in the West Sea."
"This name insults the name of God. Let's use it as the address of this ceremony."
Said the environmental martial god Mas Saint.
"I heard that the Celestial Dragons took out several top-level devil fruits as rewards."
Said the Financial Martial God Nasujuro Sei.
Although they are the Five Elders and also Celestial Dragons, they belong to the faction of the World Government. So they only learned about some things about the ceremony presided over by the Celestial Dragons later.
"Well, the ones we know about so far are the Fish-Fish Fruit, the Mythical Beast Species, and the Blue Dragon Form."
"There is also a parahuman-type meat ball fruit, which has the ability to teleport people by making them pop up, which is equivalent to teleportation. The others have not been revealed yet."
Said Peter Saint, the God of Agriculture.
"Mythical Beast Azure Dragon? I wonder when they were able to collect such an excellent Mythical Beast Devil Fruit."
The Scientific Defense God of War, Satan Saint, said in surprise.
"Let's not talk about this for now. Let's dispatch the navy to the Valley of Gods to garrison in advance. The ceremony is about to begin."
"Every grand ceremony is not just a simple competition. The proportion of resource allocation is also determined by the results of the competition."
Said Peter Saint, the God of Agriculture.
The ceremony held by the Celestial Dragons is not just about eliminating a non-governmental member country and turning it into the territory of the World Government.
This competition is just a way of dividing the cake, and the proportion of the cake distribution is determined by the outcome of the competition.
After all, even the Celestial Dragons are divided into various factions and have to face competition for resource allocation.
Therefore, after each competition, the cake must be distributed on the spot, which is the most important thing.
In other words, in the Valley of the Gods, there are more than just a few top-level devil fruits on display.
There are also many treasures, famous swords, top-level devil fruits and other valuable things.
Therefore, every time a Tianlong ceremony is held, there are nearly two hundred Tianlong people present.
These Celestial Dragons are not all the ones participating in this competition. There are also Celestial Dragons who are hosting this competition, Celestial Dragons who are the spectators, and the powerful Celestial Dragons who are part of the God's Guard that protects the Celestial Dragons.
The Roger Pirates in the West Sea also learned about the Celestial Dragons' ceremony through secret channels.
"Rayleigh, let's go to this ceremony too!"
Roger said excitedly.
"Roger, are you crazy? That's the grand ceremony of the Celestial Dragons. What are we going to do there?"
"What's more, they are Celestial Dragons. If we accidentally kill one, won't we be hunted by the Navy and the World Government every day?"
Rayleigh now doesn't understand what's going on in Roger's head.
As pirates, are they allowed to touch something like the Celestial Dragons?
"Hahaha, Rayleigh, I have a feeling that Rocks will definitely come to the West Sea this time. That's when we'll have to deal with Rocks."
Roger laughed.
"So what if Rocks comes? He must be bringing his officers with him, and we can't defeat him."
Rayleigh said speechlessly.
"Hahahaha, the navy and the Celestial Dragons will deal with Rocks's cadres. We only need to deal with Rocks."
Roger laughed heartily.
Who are the Celestial Dragons?
He is the ruler of the World Government and the object of the Navy's loyalty.
If the Rocks Pirates come, they will definitely be the main target of the World Government and the Navy. At that time, they only need to join forces with the Navy to deal with Rocks.
It was because Rocks had put so much pressure on the Roger Pirates in the past few years that they had to seek help from the navy to get rid of Rocks.
"Well, you are the captain, you have the final say."
Rayleigh also agreed. After all, he was fed up with this kind of depressing life of being forced to retreat to the West Sea.
As long as Rocks is not eliminated, the Roger Pirates will have no hope of returning to the New World.
For some unknown reason, the news of the internal ceremony of the Celestial Dragons was leaked, and the news of the Blue Dragon Fruit was also leaked.
Soon, Rocks' intelligence personnel brought the news to Rocks' ears.
"Damn it, it was the damn Celestial Dragon who stole my Devil Fruit!!"
"Wahahahahaha, Celestial Dragon, the true ruler of this world?"
"Then let me, Rocks, put an end to you. Anyone who dares to steal my things will perish, even if he is a god!"
Then, Rocks laughed wildly and summoned all the cadres to come to Honeycomb Island.
He is going to start a war to kill gods this time!
"Oh? Is it finally time?"
Li Yuan also learned from Xia Qi that Rocks' treasury had been stolen and then that Rocks had attacked the Valley of the West Sea God.
He had been preparing for this day for the past two years, and it finally came. He did not live up to his hard work in training these days!
In the past two years, Li Yuan's biggest achievement was mastering the advanced application of Conqueror's Haki, which was a method of wrapping Conqueror's Haki around the sword to increase the sword's attack power.
