The vast battlefield fell deathly silent. It was a stillness so profound one could hear a pin drop.
Occasionally, a salty sea breeze carrying the pungent scent of blood blew past, assaulting everyone's senses.
At this moment, most of the pirates were too terrified to utter a sound—a fear stemming from the depths of their souls. Those who had survived until now were all vicious and somewhat capable individuals. In this environment, they were accustomed to life, death, and even extreme bloodshed.
But recalling the scene just now—the shockwave sweeping through and instantly vaporizing over ten thousand people without leaving even a trace of blood—sent shivers down everyone's spine. They all felt a lingering fear, thankful to have survived such a catastrophe.
The strong, however, remained silent, staring intently at the center of the explosion. Their Observation Haki searched frantically for the auras of Rocks, Garp, and Roger, desperate to know the outcome of the clash.
Cough, cough, cough...
Suddenly, a distinct coughing sound drew the gaze of every powerhouse.
As the smoke cleared, the figures of Rocks, Garp, and Roger were revealed once more.
Roger and Garp looked somewhat battered, covered in dust and grime. Under the energy impact, their shirts had been shredded into rags. But their gazes remained sharp, and their auras were as terrifying as ever.
On the other hand, Rocks' shirt was torn apart completely, revealing his muscular chest—which now bore a sword wound.
Blood seeped out continuously.
In the final moment, Roger's Divine Departure had broken through his attack and Haki defenses, leaving a mark on him.
Garp and Roger's lips curled slightly, a flash of joy in their hearts.
Their alliance truly posed a threat to Rocks. Although the wound on his chest wasn't severe, the battle had only just begun. Garp and Roger were confident they could defeat him.
"Boss Rocks... he's injured? Is this for real?" "Did Roger and Garp just win that exchange?" "This... isn't this bad?" "Damn it! Are we actually going to lose?"
From small clues, one can see the whole picture.
Naturally, the pirates could tell Rocks' injury wasn't serious. But if the fight continued like this, he might genuinely fall to the combined might of Roger and Garp.
Hearing these piercing whispers, Rocks' face turned frosty, his expression so dark it looked like water could drip from it.
"Hehehehe... Good. Very good!"
"It's been six years. This is the first time I've been injured. You two did well."
Rocks looked down at the crimson blood on his chest, gritting his teeth as he squeezed out icy words, one by one:
"Garp. Roger. To thank you, I have no choice but to send you both on your way."
Boom!
An enraged Rocks went all out. Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki condensed around him simultaneously. He transformed into a ball of dark red flame, charging furiously at Garp and Roger.
"Sonic Wave: Blade Slash!!"
"Bwahahahaha... Bring it on! Fist Bone: Impact!!"
"Divine Departure!!"
Quality over quantity. Prepared for battle, Garp and Roger met the enemy head-on!
...
Battle resumed across the other fronts, fighters finding their previous opponents.
Except for one place.
Due to the energy shockwave earlier, most of the mid-tier pirates in the Rocks crew had been killed or injured. A single member of the God's Knights was now enough to stabilize that part of the battlefield.
This allowed another God's Knight to successfully disengage and provide support elsewhere.
He immediately sought out Saint Garling, filling the vacancy left by the Knight Reynolds had killed.
"What a pain in the ass."
Looking at the three opponents eyeing him hungrily, Reynolds spat in extreme annoyance.
He'd gone through all that trouble to kill one, only for another to pop up.
"Come on then! I'll play with you all today!" "Attack together!"
...
Meanwhile.
In a corner on the outskirts of God Valley, the "Runaway Trio," their clothes tattered, huddled together, shivering.
The successive battles and the dangers they encountered along the way had terrified them.
They had nearly been hacked to death by pirates. Bullets had flown past their heads, grazing their scalps. Shockwaves from cannon fire had nearly deafened them.
The most thrilling moment was just now. Two heavily injured figures wearing white suits and grim masks had charged through, killing pirates on sight, heading straight for them.
The Runaway Trio was scared out of their wits. But with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide, they could only duck behind a giant boulder, huddling together and shivering as they awaited judgment.
In the next second, an immense force swept past, pushing even the giant boulder forward a distance.
Nine-year-old Kuma screamed, nearly fainting from fright.
But soon, everything returned to calm.
After waiting for a long time and hearing no movement outside, the bold Ivankov slowly stood up, carefully poking his small head out from behind the boulder.
He discovered that the two masked figures from earlier had been killed by some unknown force, lying dead right in front of the boulder.
Gulp.
Ivankov, surviving the ordeal, breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing that the danger had passed, Ginny and Kuma cautiously emerged from behind the rock.
"Huh? What's this?!"
Ginny let out a surprised sound. Under the body of one of the masked men, something was pressed down, revealing only a corner.
"Forget about that stuff! Let's get out of here!"
Little Kuma was on the verge of tears. They didn't have time for this. If they didn't leave now, they might never be able to leave.
"This is..."
Ignored by Ginny, who had already pushed the CP0 agent's corpse aside, the object's true form was revealed.
"A Devil Fruit?!"
"Come look! It's a Devil Fruit!!"
Overjoyed, Ginny hurriedly called Kuma and Ivankov over.
Hearing it was a Devil Fruit, both their eyes lit up instantly.
Although they were young, they had been slaves to the Celestial Dragons for several years. From what they had seen and heard, they naturally knew what Devil Fruits were and that they granted powerful abilities to the user.
"It really is a Devil Fruit! Ginny, was it on that person?!"
Ivankov pointed at the CP0 agent Ginny had pushed aside.
Ginny nodded obediently.
"Kuma, check the other person's body."
Soon, Kuma found another Devil Fruit on the second CP0 corpse.
"Two Devil Fruits?!"
The three were ecstatic, as if they had found a priceless treasure. Ordinary people might never see a Devil Fruit in their entire lives, yet they had found two at once.
Was this their destiny?
To avoid attention, the three quickly hid behind the boulder again to discuss the distribution of the fruits.
But there were only two fruits and three people. How to divide them became a big problem.
Logically, Ginny had found the first one, so one should belong to her. The remaining one would be split between Ivankov and Kuma.
However, before Ivankov could speak, Ginny giggled and waved her hand.
"Ivankov, Kuma. I don't want these Devil Fruits. You two eat them."
"You two are stronger than me. If you eat the Devil Fruits, you'll be even stronger and can protect me better."
Seeing Ivankov and Kuma hesitate, Ginny urged them on.
"We could be in danger at any moment. Don't overthink it. If enemies come again, we really won't be able to run."
Hearing this, Ivankov and Kuma's gazes grew firm.
"I'll eat it." "I want this one!"
Ivankov made the first decision, choosing a purple fruit covered in spiral patterns. Perhaps it was because it matched his purple afro perfectly.
But what he didn't know was the fate that awaited him after eating this fruit.
"Then I'll take this one."
Kuma didn't fuss; to him, any Devil Fruit was the same. Besides, he quite liked the one in front of him, which looked like a bear paw.
Decisions made, the two hesitated no longer. Suppressing their nausea, they ate the Devil Fruits.
Ginny blinked her big, sparkling eyes, eagerly awaiting their transformation.
She wondered what abilities Ivankov and Kuma would gain. Would they suddenly become super strong?
Under her expectant gaze, Ivankov and Kuma soon gave their feedback.
"Waaaaah~"
Unexpectedly, Ivankov suddenly burst into loud tears, sitting on his butt and kicking his legs wildly like a child throwing a tantrum.
"Ivankov, what's wrong?!"
"Even if it's not a powerful Devil Fruit, you're still stronger than many people now."
Ginny naturally assumed Ivankov had gotten a very ordinary fruit and was dissatisfied with his ability.
"Kuma, what about you?!"
Unlike the breakdown of Ivankov, Kuma's eyes were exceptionally bright.
"Ivankov, Ginny... I have a way to get us out of here!"
...
Deep in a dense forest on the outskirts of God Valley.
Wielding his kanabo, Kaido led dozens of Deathsworn warriors, slaughtering their way through pirates, Marines, and CP0 agents alike.
By now, only three or four people remained by his side. The losses were undeniably heavy.
But fortunately, he had caught up with the injured CP0 agent in front of him.
"Worororororo... Let's see where you can run now!!"Following Reynolds' orders, Kaido roamed the chaotic battlefield, searching everywhere for the Fish-Fish Fruit.
But God Valley was simply too vast, and battles raged everywhere. To make matters worse, the CP0 agents had scattered in different directions.
Finding the fruit was like looking for a needle in a haystack—or close enough to it.
Fortunately, luck was on his side. He spotted a CP0 agent fleeing frantically across the battlefield, showing zero desire to fight.
This guy wasn't engaging anyone; he was just sprinting toward the island's perimeter.
Kaido made a snap decision and immediately led his men in pursuit.
However, this CP0 agent wasn't stupid. Knowing he was no match for Kaido, he used the surrounding chaos to slow Kaido down.
It wasn't until now that Kaido finally caught up to him.
Of course, Kaido could only be certain that the agent had a Devil Fruit on him. As for which one it was, he had no idea.
After all, finding even a single Devil Fruit on such a massive battlefield was already a miracle. Who was he to be picky?
Covered in blood, the CP0 agent looked warily at the approaching Kaido.
He was completely spent, with no strength left to resist.
Seeming to make a grim resolve, he pulled a cyan-colored Devil Fruit covered in scale-like patterns from his coat. He opened his mouth, intending to take a bite right then and there.
But in the next second, his hand froze.
Kaido had firmly gripped his arm—and with a sickening crack, snapped it in two.
"Looks like my luck is good. It really is the Fish-Fish Fruit."
"Give the Devil Fruit back to me!"
Pale-faced, the CP0 agent struggled to force out the words.
"Give it back? Sure, here you go!"
Kaido swung his kanabo, smashing it directly onto the agent's forehead. Red and white matter splattered across the ground.
"Pah! Filthy dog."
"You lot, keep looking for the other Devil Fruits."
After barking an order, the remaining Deathsworn warriors dispersed.
Kaido examined the fruit for a moment before taking a huge bite.
Urgh.
The taste came fast and left fast. Or perhaps the surge of power welling up inside him made Kaido instantly forget the horrendous flavor.
"Is this the power of the Fish-Fish Fruit?!!"
"I need to find the Boss, now!"
He hadn't forgotten Reynolds' instructions.
First thing after finding the Fish-Fish Fruit: Eat it. Second thing: Find Reynolds.
"Let me test out the power of this Mythical Zoan first!"
Roar!
Kaido let out a long howl toward the sky. His body began to transform visibly.
His head turned into a dragon's head, his hands morphed into dragon claws, and his dark skin slowly turned cyan, covered in a layer of hard dragon scales.
Then, his upper body began to elongate. In an instant, he transformed into a massive Azure Dragon, dozens of meters long.
As Kaido soared into the sky, his legs transformed into a dragon's tail.
Roar!
Roar!
With two thunderous roars, Kaido the Azure Dragon burst out of the dense forest and flew straight toward Reynolds' battlefield.
...
Meanwhile, Reynolds was in the heat of battle against three God's Knights, including Saint Garling.
Even though he was stronger than any single one of them, none of the three were weaklings. Learning from their fallen comrade's mistake, they were now much more cautious, turning the battle into a stalemate.
Just then.
Roar!
Roar!
Two dragon roars echoed across the entire God Valley, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
After all, it was the sound of a dragon. Who wouldn't take a second look?
"He did it!"
The moment he heard the roar, Reynolds felt a surge of ecstasy.
Kaido hadn't let him down.
"Damn it! The Fish-Fish Fruit was stolen!!"
Saint Garling naturally knew which Devil Fruit that was. But those CP0 agents absolutely wouldn't dare eat the fruits themselves. The only explanation was that the agent was dead, and the fruit had fallen into someone else's hands.
Moreover, the dragon's roar was getting closer, approaching this very battlefield.
Immediately after, everyone saw a massive Azure Dragon, dozens of meters long, winding through the air, continuously letting out roaring cries.
"Who is that?! What a terrifying ability user!" "Damn it, another powerful Devil Fruit user appeared! Which side is he on?!" "A secret weapon of the World Government? Or Rocks' reinforcement?!" "Why is this situation getting more and more chaotic?!"
The powerhouses of the major factions below speculated wildly.
Even Rocks, Roger, and Garp paused to take a few looks.
The Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon (Uo Uo no Mi, Model: Seiryu) was an incredibly powerful Mythical Zoan.
However, since the user was in beast form, they couldn't recognize which side he belonged to.
Under the gaze of thousands, the giant Azure Dragon flew across half the island, arriving directly beside one person before transforming back into human form.
"Reynolds?! It's him?!" "Holy shit! That powerhouse is Reynolds' subordinate too?!" "Is the World Government finished?!"
Seeing Kaido standing respectfully beside Reynolds, even a fool could see the relationship between them.
"Boss! Mission accomplished!" Kaido shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Well done." Reynolds nodded slightly.
"Reynolds! You bastard!!"
Saint Garling was about to explode with curses!
Damn it! Why does every good thing go to Reynolds?!
Even among those six Devil Fruits, the Fish-Fish Fruit was top-tier. He never expected it to fall into the hands of Reynolds' man.
Trash! They were all a bunch of useless trash!
"System! Deduct 100 Luck Points immediately and share the Fish-Fish Fruit ability!"
[Luck Points deducted. Congratulations Host, you have obtained the Fish-Fish Fruit ability!]
Reynolds had no time to waste talking nonsense with this guy.
Feeling the powerful force suddenly surging into his body, the corners of Reynolds' mouth curled up into a satisfied smile.
Awesome!
It felt absolutely awesome!
Iron Balloon talent + Zoan Mythical Type Fish-Fish Fruit, Model: Azure Dragon = Absolute Invincibility!!
Oh right, he also had the devastatingly destructive Rumble-Rumble Fruit (Goro Goro no Mi)!
Who could possibly stop him now?!!
Roar!
In just a few moments, under the jaw-dropping gazes of Saint Garling and everyone present, Reynolds also transformed into a massive Azure Dragon, dozens of meters long, coiling in the void!
A pair of sharp dragon eyes swept across the battlefield, majestic and imposing!
