Rocks was really put off by Roger's remarks. He only understood one thing now: as a pirate, Roger had actually chosen to side with the World Government to deal with him!
Newgate used an air shock to force back Garling, who had been fighting with him for a long time. You could see that there were several staggered stab wounds on his exposed chest, with blood coming out from time to time.
The golden armor that Garling wore, which belonged to the Knights of God, was also shattered in several places, and blood flowed from the corners of his mouth. Newgate in his prime and his Tremor-Tremor Fruit were not that easy to deal with.
The battle between the two of them just now was very fierce. If Roger hadn't suddenly appeared, one of them would have been killed today.
Newgate squinted at Roger, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking.
Roger certainly didn't come alone. After a while, Deputy Captain Silvers Rayleigh arrived with other crew members. They stood behind Roger and confronted the Rocks Pirates.
At this time, the arrival of the Roger Pirates completely reversed the situation of the war. Rocks looked extremely ugly, and now he wanted to eat Roger alive.
The members of the Rocks Pirates had different expressions. Except for Linlin, who was nowhere to be seen, most of them were already looking around, looking like they wanted to run away.
Rocks was naturally aware of this, and he couldn't think about it anymore. He roared, raising his momentum to the extreme, and the entire sky was instantly covered with a shadow.
Clenching his fists, the black Conqueror's Haki crackled, and Rocks' figure was like electricity, his terrifying aura locking onto Roger tightly. He had already made up his mind; even if he failed today, he would kill Roger, the pirate scum!
Facing Rocks, who was attacking with all his strength, Roger looked solemn. He wrapped Conqueror's Haki around Ace, one of the twelve supreme grade swords, and rushed forward to face Rocks.
However, as soon as the collision occurred, Roger felt that the arm holding the sword was almost losing consciousness. Rocks' strength was even more terrifying than he expected.
Seeing that Roger was in a bad situation, Silvers Rayleigh immediately wanted to draw his sword to help, but Garp on the Marine's side was faster than him.
A black iron fist fell from the sky. Rocks was only thinking about killing Roger in front of him. Without noticing, Garp punched him away, and he retreated back.
Looking at Roger and Garp standing side by side in front of him, Rocks was so angry that he couldn't hold back four words for a long time.
"Absolutely disgusting!"
He originally wanted to take a preemptive strike to stabilize the lax morale of his army, but he was frustrated, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable for him.
However, at this moment, Linlin, who had been missing, suddenly turned back, holding a Azure Dragon Devil Fruit in her hand.
While everyone was fighting, she used the ability of the Soul-Soul Fruit to give her soul to a piece of land and finally obtained the Azure Dragon Fruit.
Rocks was very pleased to see Linlin reappearing, thinking that this woman still had some conscience, but before he could be happy for too long, Linlin's words almost made him petrified on the spot:
"Kaido, you silly boy, why are you working so hard!? Look what I found? Come with me!"
Kaido was overjoyed when he saw the Azure Dragon Fruit and actually rushed towards Linlin. After the two met, they turned around and left, disappearing from everyone's sight in a few breaths.
"..."
After a brief silence, Newgate suddenly sighed. Now he was extremely disappointed with the Rocks Pirates. He put Murakumogiri on his shoulders, turned around, and walked away without saying a word.
His speed was not fast, but the World Government had no intention of stopping him at all, and just allowed Newgate to leave here in a swaggering manner.
Shiki took a puff of his cigar. He was the calmest person on the field. As a Float-Float Fruit user, as long as he wanted to leave, almost no one could keep him.
Ever since Linlin and Kaido disappeared, Rocks had been standing there quietly, and he didn't say another word even after Newgate left.
But Roger and Garp, standing opposite him, suddenly felt a suffocating and terrifying momentum. Rocks, who was in a desperate situation, was already desperate.
Saturn's old face already showed an expression of victory, but his body remained tense. He knew that Rocks was in the most dangerous state at this time.
Rocks slowly raised his head, and a cold voice slowly came out of his mouth,
"Roger... Celestial Dragons... Marine... You all deserve to die!!!"
Boom!
There was a loud noise, and the ground collapsed instantly. Rocks led a few loyal men and rushed into the enemy camp. For a moment, countless broken limbs and broken arms were flying in the sky, and the entire battlefield was filled with blood mist.
The World Government, Marine, and Roger Pirates no longer remained, and all the top combat forces swarmed in to encircle and suppress Rocks, who had gone crazy in the center of the battlefield.
There was no fear on Rocks' face. He threw off the cloak that was stained red with blood and laughed wildly,
"Let's go together! I am Rocks!!!"
...
After an unknown amount of time, the roar that echoed throughout Valley of Gods gradually subsided.
At the edge of Valley of Gods, Newgate pushed a wooden boat into the sea, then jumped into the boat.
The Rocks Pirates' ship had long been destroyed by the Marine warships that came from behind, so he had to build this relatively solid boat himself.
Looking back in the direction of Valley of Gods, Newgate shook his head and said softly,
"Goodbye, Captain Rocks."
After saying that, he fumbled for a Sky-blue Devil Fruit from his arms and thought to himself,
"I actually picked up a Devil Fruit on the way here. It must have been prepared by the Celestial Dragons. It gave me an advantage."
...
On the Marine warship,
Sengoku was sitting on a bench wiping the blood on his body.
There were too many Marines injured in this battle, and the military doctors were already overwhelmed.
Relying on his strong physique, he did not choose to let the military doctors treat him, and gave up his limited resources to other Marine soldiers.
Just as he was holding cotton with tweezers and trying to press it on the wound, there was a bang, and Garp pushed the door open and came in.
"Hey! Sengoku, are you okay!?"
"Pfft!"
Looking at the tweezers inserted into the wound, Sengoku's mouth twitched, and he turned his head to get angry. Garp suddenly threw out a wooden box and said carelessly,
"See what I found?"
There were several pieces of gold foil on the box, and you could tell that the contents inside were valuable. Sengoku raised his eyebrows and slowly opened the box. A golden Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit lay quietly inside.
Sengoku stared and looked up at Garp in disbelief. Garp smiled and said,
"This must be the fruit of those Celestial Dragons. I found one. You know, I'm not too fond of that group of people, so I won't hand over this fruit. But I don't want to become a landlubber either. If you have no interest, I'll give it to you!"
At the same time, on board the Roger Pirates,
Roger and others stood around a wooden box, looking at the red-haired baby in the box with bewildered expressions. The baby waved its little hands, but instead of crying, it actually giggled...
