"Mission?" Rocks's voice was like a demon's whisper. "Your mission is to tell me all the intelligence about the World Government and the Marines in your head."
The CP agent tried to resist, but an irresistible gravitational force surged from Rocks's palm. He felt as if his very soul were being pulled out of his body. The world before him instantly went dark. A few minutes later, Rocks returned to the Azure Dragon. He casually crushed the CP agent, who had been turned into an idiot, along with his submarine, into an iron ball and threw it into the sea.
"A bunch of annoying flies," Rocks clapped his hands, the annoyance on his face growing even stronger. He knew this was just the beginning. This kind of harassment would be endless from now on.
"Captain," Dolum's voice trembled. He had just used telepathy to read the CP agent's shallow memories. "He's telling the truth. Marine Headquarters has assembled three fleets and is closing in on us from three directions. They're using the latest Seastone chains to trap us in this sea region."
The atmosphere on the deck instantly became heavy. "Wahahaha! What's there to be afraid of! We'll fight as many as they send!" Gatz was as fearless as ever.
Newgate also shook his wine barrel, the will to fight rising in his eyes. "Gurararara, perfect. It's been a long time since I've stretched my legs."
"No," Rocks's voice interrupted them. He slowly walked to the center of the deck, his gaze sweeping over every crew member, his deep eyes burning with an unprecedented, crazed flame. "I've had enough," Rocks's voice was not loud, but it reached everyone's ears, carrying the oppressive weight of a coming storm. "I've had enough of being chased. I've had enough of these self-righteous dogs of justice buzzing around us."
"We are pirates, kings who are destined to stand at the pinnacle of the world, not prey to be hunted." Rocks opened his arms, as if to embrace the entire sea, his voice suddenly rising like a clap of thunder. "Instead of passively waiting for them to set up a net, let's take the initiative and stab them viciously in the heart!" He turned sharply, pointing at the Holy Land on the sea chart, which was located in the center of the world, surrounded by the Red Line, and regarded as a taboo by all sailors.
"Alright, boys, listen up!" Rocks's eyes were filled with a darkness and arrogance that could swallow everything. "Our next target is not a Marine branch, not some kingdom, but the lair of those who call themselves gods—the Holy Land Mary Geoise!"
"I want the whole world to see whether the so-called gods bleed under our iron heels! I want those old geezers of the Five Elders to know that the times have changed!"
These words were like a lit dynamite stick thrown into a calm pot of oil. Gatz's mouth was open wide enough to fit a dinosaur egg, his expression changing from belligerent to fanatical. Newgate's pupils also contracted sharply, followed by a sky-shaking laugh. "Gurararara! Interesting! So interesting! We're going to turn their nest upside down directly? Rocks, you've got bigger balls than a Sea King!"
Charlotte Linlin licked her lips, her eyes full of excitement. "Mamamama! The Holy Land? I hear the desserts there are the best in the world!"
Even the ever-calm Silver's hand, which was holding his spear, was trembling slightly with excitement. Dolum, on the other hand, his eyes rolled back, and he almost fainted on the spot. Attacking Mary Geoise? This is no longer a problem that can be solved by ship repairs. This is like hitting a planet with an egg!
"C-Captain... are you serious?" Dolum's voice trembled.
"Of course," Rocks's smile was filled with an unquestionable dominance. He looked at the ever-silent Ren. "Head Chef, what do you think?"
Ren was wiping his kitchen knife. Hearing this, he looked up, a hint of anticipation on his calm face for the first time. "I have no interest in their throne," Ren paused, then added, "I just want to know if meat tastes better when it's roasted over a Celestial Dragon as firewood."
A dead silence fell over the room. Then, Rocks burst into a laugh louder than ever before. "Wahahahaha! Good! Spoken like my Head Chef!" He waved his hand, his voice as loud as a bell. "Alright, boys! The celebration is over! Everyone, back to your posts! Dolum, change course, full speed ahead! In one month, we will turn the holy fire of Mary Geoise into the bonfire for our victory feast!"
And so, while the world's navies and intelligence agencies thought the Rocks Pirates would choose to lay low for a while, this black behemoth carrying a group of future hegemons of the seas turned its proud bow. Like a black spear about to pierce the heart of the gods, it sailed resolutely toward the center of the world. A storm that would soon shake the world was already brewing.
One month later, at the Red Line, this red rock that traversed the entire world was like an insurmountable natural barrier, dividing the Four Seas. And at its very top, above the clouds, was a city regarded by the world as the abode of the gods—the Holy Land Mary Geoise. This was the highest center of power of the World Government, the divine domain where the Celestial Dragons lived. For eight hundred years, no mortal had ever dared to be insolent here. However, today, this eight-hundred-year-long peace would be completely shattered.
A huge black shadow rose straight up from the sea below the Red Line in an incredible way. It was the Azure Dragon! Under the combined power of Rocks's gravity-distorting ability and Newgate's continent-shattering tremors, this massive sea fortress was forcibly lifted ten thousand meters into the sky. Like a black dragon that had broken free from the shackles of the earth, it appeared on the outskirts of Mary Geoise.
"E-enemy attack! It's the Rocks Pirates!" The soldiers on guard looked at the giant pirate ship that had appeared out of thin air, scared out of their wits. The shrill alarm instantly sounded throughout the Holy Land.
"Wahahaha! Boys, give these high-and-mighty guys a big gift!" Rocks stood at the bow, opened his arms, and laughed loudly.
Dolum was already in the driver's seat. His eyes shone with a mad light, and he slammed down the launch lever for the main cannon. "Azure Dragon's Roar!"
The ferocious dragon's mouth at the bow of the ship opened wide. A highly compressed, destructively glowing ball of energy, which had gathered the energy of the entire ship, shot out. It slammed viciously into the huge, solid gold main gate of Mary Geoise, which symbolized the glory of the World Nobles! BOOM! With a sky-shaking boom, the golden gate, which could withstand the full-power attack of a Marine Admiral, was like paper before the Azure Dragon's main cannon. It was instantly melted and pierced, leaving a huge, twisted hole. The shockwave of the explosion swept out, leveling dozens of magnificent buildings around it.
The Holy Land of Mary Geoise, for the first time in eight hundred years, was set ablaze by the flames of war.
