Chapter 24: In This Year, The Future Admiral Stands Like A Lackey
[World 2 - Aramaki: Admiral Sakazuki's mastery of Haki is truly impressive, forged through real battle experience. It must be stronger than the Sakazuki from another world!]
[World 2 - Vice Admiral Doberman: Indeed, although he learned it later, Admiral Sakazuki is self-taught, and the Haki honed in life-and-death situations is undoubtedly more powerful.]
[World 2 - Kizaru: No wonder Sakazuki entered the Marine training camp at the same time as me but is so much stronger! Turns out he spends every day in fierce combat and killings!]
[World 1 - Xebec: Is this the God Valley War from another world?]
[World 1 - Kizaru: The birth of a legend. I never thought I'd see this war with my own eyes one day.]
[World 2 - Vice Admiral Momonga: The battle in which Vice Admiral Garp became the Marine hero]
[World 2 - Aramaki: It's so exciting!]
[No.1 World 2 - Aokiji: Ahlalalalalaa ... The legendary battle!
[World 1 and World 2 - Rayleigh: Now I feel nostalgic for the bitter battle, I'm really getting old.]
[No.1 World 2 - Roger: What is there to see!]
Roger doesn't understand, he was just doing what needed to be done!
Rocks D. Xebec deserved to die!
...
The battle in the Valley of the Gods, there were so many powerful people that appeared at that time!
Whether it was those who personally experienced it at the time.
Or those who learned about it later.
As long as a little understanding has been given, a lifetime can never be forgotten!
After that battle, the Roger Pirates completely rose to prominence!
Vice Admiral Garp was also known as a Marine hero!
Many of the strong men who participated in the war later became Four Emperors or Admirals!
Or famous overlords!
Although they knew that with Sakazuki's current strength!
Looking at this matter through his perspective!
What could be seen would probably be very limited.
But many people who hadn't experienced that era were eager to learn a fraction of this legendary battle!
After all, it was the King of Pirates, the Marine hero's extremely grueling battle!
Everyone concentrated on watching!
...
People focused their attention on the video, where Sakazuki sailed towards the Holy Garden! The Abode of the Gods! God's Valley!.
The incident of the Rocks Pirates attacking the residence of the Tenryūbito.
Stirred unease across multiple islands in the surrounding sea.
As Sakazuki approached God Valley, he witnessed a sea filled with escaping ships—merchants, pirates, nobles, everyone fleeing the terrifying battlefield.
He was the only one going in the opposite direction!
Sakazuki was not one for communication, but he gathered some information from passing ships about the events.
The Rocks Pirates had massacred the Tenryūbito in the Gods Valley with the intent of seizing some sort of Ancient weapon owned by the celestial dragons!
The World Government promptly mobilized all nearby forces for a large-scale siege against the Rocks Pirate.
"I heard that they also destroyed other countries, drawing retaliation from the Roger Pirates!"
Near the Valley of the Gods.
A garden island with a beautiful view!
At the moment, was now engulfed in fire and smoke!
Thousands of ships were racing, fleeing frantically outward from the coast of that island!
The scene was so chaotic that even though there was a steady stream of Marine warships and world government warships approaching from other directions.
It was still impossible to stop this chaotic scene.
The Valley of the Gods coastline was too vast.
This was an unprecedented mass exodus.
"Run quickly! The Roger Pirates are fighting with the Rocks Pirates!"
"Xebec killed the celestial dragons and conquered the palace!!"
"Damn, why do these monsters dare to run wild here?"
"This is the backyard of the celestial dragons!"
"The royal palace was destroyed by them!" ...
"Pirates!!!" Sakazuki saw a hundred or so warships of various sizes, as well as nearly a hundred pirate ships!
Various refugee ships numbered in the thousands!
Warships and pirate ships clashed in different various areas, exchanging volleys.
Cannonballs filled the sky, landing on the sea, on the islands, and on the refuge ships.
The scene was extremely chaotic, and there were terrified screams everywhere!
Explosive flames and billowing smoke filled the air!
The aura of terrifying power swept through the battlefield!
Conqueror's Haki surged one after another into the sky!
The battlefield was huge, and many of the warships that tried to land on the coast were intercepted by the pirate ships.
Even with the combined forces from World 2, the number of warships fell short.
There is also something that can't be compared!
And the various important harbors, from the Sakazuki vision.
The cadres of the Rocks Pirates could be seen in full force!
Golden Lion, Silver Axe, Captain John, Big Mom ...
were buying time for Captain Rocks.
They intercepted a large number of Marines!
Among them was the force led by Vice Admiral Zephyr!
(Zephyr became an Admiral after two years in the Valley of the Gods.)
...
Looking at the battlefield, everyone watching the video subconsciously held their breath!
They felt an unprecedented sense of oppression!
And this was only a part seen through Sakazuki's perspective.
It was also the first time that Sakazuki had seen such a large-scale terrifying battlefield.
Sakazuki at this moment only had one feeling!
Insignificant, truly and utterly too insignificant.
In the presence of several colossal figures, his individual strength seemed so feeble!
As if, with just a small misstep in the wrong, he could be crushed and instantly die.
But the most terrifying was at the center of the island right now!
Multiple terrifying auras were wreaking havoc in that general area!
Several figures clashed rapidly, engaging in fierce combat!
Regular people couldn't see both sides of the battle!
One could only see a stream of light and lightning constantly colliding in the air, shooting against each other and colliding on the ground.
A mountain peak shattered under the aftermath!
The sky was torn open by terrifying slashes, one after another.
A shockwave overturned a piece of forest and cracked the earth....
It was as if this place had become a forbidden zone for the living, a battlefield for the gods!
Sakazuki wanted to take action but didn't know where to start!
At this moment, entering such a battlefield was still too early for him.
"Gurarara rara ra ... Marines, let me be your opponent!"
"Watch out! That's the Tremor Human who ate the Gura Gura no Mi!"
Rumble! Crack!
Far off to the side, the fleet led by Sengoku, who had become an Admiral, was about to land on the shore.
Supporting the inland battlefield, they were stopped by Whitebeard alone.
An quake fist blasted out, shattering the atmosphere!
There were ships being crushed!
Partial tsunamis surged angrily towards the Marines!
"Newgate! Is your captain insane? Are you insane too?!" The strong-bodied Admiral Sengoku hissed angrily.
In the face of Sengoku's roar of insult, Whitebeard frowned slightly and did not reply!
After hesitating for a moment, he once again raised his fist, covered in a quake!
Seeing this, Garp could only transform into a golden Buddha and clash against it!
If he didn't break through the defense line faster and support Garp!
Facing the siege of Xebec and his other cadres!
Garp would likely die!
"hahahaha, Roger, you still brought them here!" A figure floated in the sky above the island.
The laughing Golden Lion shiki, a master of the Nitōryū sword style and a swordmaster!
The earth gathered into a massive ball.
But it was intercepted midway by the young Rayleigh, slashing it in half.
The two quickly engaged in battle, and for a while, sword slashes crisscrossed! Overwhelming auras shot forth!
Terrifying swordsmanship also became one of the highlights of the battlefield...
"Damn it..." Sakazuki suppressed his fear and...terror!
He stopped watching and joined the battlefield.
He fixed his gaze on one direction, riding a small boat towards the pirate fleet!
"Meteor Volcano!! ( Dai Funka!!)" The volcano bombs flew into the sky and bombarded down sharply with the help of gravity!
Two or three pirate ships were immediately covered and destroyed!
But compared to the entire battlefield!
It was just a drop in the bucket!
Soon, Sakazuki was also intercepted by pirate powerhouses!
"Could it be that even after training for so long, I can't even get close to that scoundrel Xebec?" Sakazuki roared in frustration!
He thought he was strong enough!
But seeing the terrifying figures colliding,
He knew his strength was far from enough!
Sakazuki could only go mad, launching his attacks at the pirates in front of him!
After a bitter struggle, he broke through this defensive line.
And this wasn't because of his formidable strength.
But because, at first, no one took him seriously.
There were no powerhouses like Big Mom, Whitebeard, or Golden Lion intercepting him.
He was like an ignored dark horse, only then breaking through this line of defense.
And just achieving this, he was already exhausted.
"Well done, young man..."
The Admiral Garp didn't expect to have an unexpected joy!
He quickly directed the Marines from this unexpected breakthrough to rush in!
[World 1 - Xebec: Mad, why in this battle, is there so much firepower around the other me!]
