Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 172: Enemies and Ideas, the Coming Valley of God
On the calm sea, a 100-meter-long silver warship is cutting through the waves. The alloy-made hull is visibly strong, the steel gun muzzles on it are ferocious and majestic, and the radar antenna keeps spinning, searching for the lost target.

After years of technological advancement, Liu Mang almost single-handedly pushed naval technology into the information age. Relying on imperial technology and powerful materials from the world of pirates, as well as various convenient abilities, the climb of the technology tree was very smooth. The navy has launched as many as hundreds of satellites for communication and monitoring.

However, the environment of the pirate world is special, and satellites are only useful in the four seas. Once you reach the Grand Line, satellites in outer space cannot detect any information on the sea even in cloudless weather, as the magnetic field disturbance is so strong that even light is affected.

In this case, even if the navy's warships are very advanced, they are still bound to lose their targets on the Grand Route, and this is even more so in the New World.

"Zhan Guo, are you able to do this? Roger and the others have all run far away!" Garp urged, picking his nose, and countless crosses appeared on Zhan Guo's forehead.

Zhan Guo dropped the tools in his hands and yelled, "If you can do it, come on!"

Looking at Sengoku with engine oil all over his face and hands, Garp hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to shake his head.

He wanted to go, even though he had no repair skills at all, he just wanted to tinker with these beautiful-looking machines, but the dusty Zhan Guo persuaded him to give up.

Zhan Guo is worthy of being the owner of the Great Buddha form of the Human-Human Fruit. It is no joke that his wisdom has been developed to the limit of human beings. Relying on Liu Mang's teaching materials and occasional guidance, he has mastered the manufacturing, modification and maintenance capabilities of all the equipment on the ship through self-study. He even learned how to write the control system that was only released this year.

After chasing Roger's pirate group for a month, although they won every battle, they just couldn't defeat them. Instead, they gained experience. Recently, it has become more and more difficult to fight them.

Just yesterday, they caught up with Roger's pirate group again. Unfortunately, after fighting for several hours, they were hit by a meteorite shower and escaped. Many equipments on the ship were damaged. It was not safe to pursue them at this time. They were in a hurry, so the great general Sengoku had to go into battle himself to repair them.

Repairs have their limits, and things that are completely destroyed cannot be repaired but can only be rebuilt, such as the wide-area detection radar on the ship.

Zhan Guo restored everything including the ship's paint to its original state, but he was unable to repair the most critical wide-area detection radar because its entire peripherals had disappeared and could not be repaired.

"There's no other way. The detection radar is hopeless. We can only rely on the old method to chase it!" After some effort, Zhan Guo sentenced the detection radar to death. There was no spare of this large radar equipment on the ship, and the small one could not be carried to replace it, so they had to give up.

The so-called old method is to observe with the naked eye. Before the appearance of the Tianmang second-generation battleship, the whole world tracked traces by observing with the naked eye through watchtowers, or used related capabilities. Now, only a few years have passed, and this technology has not been lost in the navy.

"Forget it, Sengoku, let's not chase them." Garp looked ahead and suddenly said to Sengoku.

Zhan Guo was surprised and didn't know what had gone wrong for him.

When they encountered Roger's pirate group before, they had to chase them, but after chasing for a month, they suddenly gave up, just because the radar didn't work?
Are you kidding? Garp is not the kind of person who gives up easily. Let alone the radar being broken, even if the whole ship sank and he had to swim in pursuit, he would never hesitate!
"What are you talking about? You are the one who should be pursued, and you are the one who doesn't. I didn't know their potential before, so I let them go, but now you and I know that the Roger Pirates have unlimited potential. How can we just stop pursuing them?"

Of course, Sengoku would never agree to such a capricious request. The potential of the Roger Pirates was fully revealed during this month's pursuit. If nothing unexpected happened, they would definitely be the next Rocks. He was inclined to strangle them in the cradle.

Karp shook his head, sat down on the ground, and said with a dull look: "No chance, look over there!"

He raised his head and gestured towards the northwest, and Zhan Guo looked in that direction.

There were ships floating on the sea in the distance, and the flag of Rocks could be vaguely seen. The ship of Roger Pirates was rushing towards this side desperately, and the ship of Rocks Pirates was chasing closely behind.

Shit! Roger wants to divert the blame!
Zhan Guo immediately understood Roger's idea. It was obvious that he couldn't beat the opponent and was going to drag them into the water, and then take the opportunity to run away!
He immediately ordered the warships to turn around and run. Zhan Guo had no intention of catching both groups in one fell swoop.

After all, one can imagine the strength of Rocks's side, as they were able to cause the two top pirates of Roger's pirate group to flee. It is likely that there were three or more top pirates, and he did not intend to cooperate with Roger and the others, so he decided to stay away and watch them fight each other.

While the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Who knows, I might be able to take advantage of the situation and catch them all in one fell swoop.

"Attack Roger's pirate group and delay their escape!" Sengoku gave the order calmly, deciding to take advantage of the situation today.

The Tianmang fifth-generation third-level battleship has long since surpassed the level of using cannons to attack. If the Grand Route was not too special and satellites could not be used, and attacks must be conducted within visual range, Zhan Guo would have launched missiles long ago.

Now, the ship that came to the door was less than ten kilometers away from the warship, and the fire control system could lock onto the enemy. Naturally, there was nothing to say, and the anti-ship missiles were launched.

A few whooshing sounds were heard, and anti-ship missiles fell towards the two groups of pirates with long tails of flames. They were blown up in mid-air by five figures that rose into the air, and the ship was not damaged at all.

I knew it!

Zhan Guo slammed the table and stood up, staring at the five people who were fighting briefly in the air in the distance.

Two of them are naturally Roger and Rayleigh from the Roger Pirates, and the other side is Whitebeard Edward Newgate, Golden Lion Shiki, and Abyss Oldran!

Rocks has a strong lineup. Edward Newgate is the user of the superhuman Tremor-Tremor Fruit. He has unparalleled attack power and is the leader of Rocks' side.

Before Shiki obtained the Float-Float Fruit, he was already a top swordsman. At this stage in the original work, Golden Lion was already the world's number one swordsman.

Unfortunately, in this world, there is a man named Liu Mang, the Chief of Naval Staff and President of the Academy of Sciences, who dominates the world in terms of kendo. No one can surpass him and be called the world's greatest swordsman.

There is nothing much to say about Odran, the user of the Eat-Eat Fruit. His previous title was Giant Mouth, but now it has been changed to Abyss. After reaching the peak, the power of the Eat-Eat Fruit has increased greatly. It is not appropriate to call the thousand-meter-long mouth Giant Mouth. That dark and deep mouth is simply an abyss, so it is named Abyss.

Due to the restraint of his abilities, the Chi-Chi Fruit cannot absorb the super strong vibrations emitted by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. In other aspects, O'Donnell and Newgate are actually equally matched, but it is the restraint of the fruit that causes O'Donnell to be unable to beat Newgate, allowing this young man to surpass him.

The Chi-Chi Fruit has many uses, unlike the Tremor-Tremor Fruit which only has attack power, so it is normal that its combat power is not good.

In order to fight against the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, one must either rely on powerful defensive capabilities, or strong vitality and recovery capabilities, or unparalleled dodging abilities. Odran has none of those, so naturally he can only obey and be submissive.

Compared to Oldran, Shiki, as a great swordsman, is not so restrained by the Tremor-Tremor Fruit. Kendo masters are absolute masters of Armament Haki and Observation Haki, with maximum dodge and attack speed, so it is not easy for Whitebeard to deal with him.

However, Shiki's swordsmanship was restrained by the power of the Chi-Chi Fruit. The attack power of the slashing wave was far less powerful than the vibration of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and could not exceed the absorption limit of Oldran. His dodging was restrained by the Devouring Abyss. This kind of sticky ability was what swordsmen hated the most, which made Shiki no match for Oldran.

Of course Shiki was not convinced, but the Chichi Fruit was too tricky, and he could not defeat Odran with pure swordsmanship.

Fruit, a powerful fruit, it would be best if it could fly and control objects, so that Oldran's Devouring Abyss would not affect me. When the time comes, I must teach him a lesson! Shiki thought so and forced Rayleigh back with a sword.

Three against two, Roger and Rayleigh are not at a disadvantage for the time being, but everyone knows that there is no way they can win, and running away is their only option.

Although it is called a pirate group, there are actually only a few people in the Roger Pirates. Including Roger Rayleigh, there are only three people, and the other one is Scorchba Jabba.

None of the three of them are people with special abilities, so they can naturally escape by going to the sea. The boat doesn’t matter for the time being, since it’s just a small boat, so it can be lost if it’s lost. They’ve gotten used to it over the past month.

With three splashes, the three members of Roger's pirate group fled into the sea. Whitebeard used the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to raise huge waves hundreds of meters high, but could not find any trace of the three men.

Are you kidding? The three of them were able to escape in this way when being chased by the navy. The Rocks Pirates are not good at this, have no skills and no equipment, so why should they chase?

Zhan Guo put down the telescope with regret, feeling sorry for the lost opportunity.

The Roger Pirates are so difficult to deal with. They are powerful and have amazing luck. Moreover, they don't have the baggage of being a strong person and can escape at any time. There is nothing we can do to them!

Looking at Whitebeard and others in the distance, Sengoku's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly grew bigger and turned into a golden Buddha. A white ball of light appeared in his hand, and he slapped the Rocks Pirates with one palm.

hum!
The violent white light carried the air and slammed towards Whitebeard. The powerful shock wave was completely contained in a beam of light with a diameter of 3 meters. The fierce force distorted the space.

Whitebeard in the distance swung Kusunokiri, and a white light ball flashed on the blade. There was a crackling sound, and the atmosphere vibrated at an extreme speed, instantly shattering the incoming shock wave!

His eyes moved, a red light flashed, and the domineering aura that soared into the sky pressed down, wanting to teach Zhan Guo a lesson.

Zhan Guo was not willing to be outdone. A red light also flashed in his eyes, and the domineering aura that dominated the world roared out, pushing up the domineering aura that was pressing down on him, and he wanted to continue to push it back.

Whitebeard naturally increased his strength and fought back, and the same went for Warring States.

The two men were nearly ten kilometers apart, fighting each other in the air with domineering aura. Their wills and spirits collided in the middle. The sky was filled with black and red thunder, and the sea suddenly became turbulent. However, the turbulent waves were immediately suppressed by the power transmitted from the void.

In the confrontation of Conqueror's Haki, neither of them could do anything to the other. Although the Tremor-Tremor Fruit was powerful, the Buddha form of the Human-Human Fruit was equally strong, with extreme attack power. It had no advantage over the combination of Strength and Wisdom.

The power to destroy the world cannot destroy the Buddha in the paradise. As one of the four great generals, Zhan Guo’s strength is even greater than that of the Marshal Ganggu Kong at that time.

Garp and Roger are old enemies, and their feud lasted throughout the entire Roger era, from before the Valley of the Gods until Roger arrived at the final island, Raftel, and it lasted for more than twenty years.

Similar to them are Sengoku and Whitebeard, who also began their rivalry in the Rocks era and continued it until the end of the Whitebeard era, a total of more than 40 years. During this period, they fought countless battles of varying sizes, but the winner was never determined.

Even after Whitebeard died in the Battle of Marineford, the outcome of the two was still uncertain, even though Whitebeard was dead and Sengoku was still alive.

In the Battle of Marineford, rather than saying who won between Sengoku and Whitebeard, it is better to say that both of them were losers. They failed to rescue those who should have been rescued, and failed to wipe out the pirates. Instead, Blackbeard seized the fruits of victory. Both the Navy and the Whitebeard Pirates were losers!
Fighting will not produce any results, both Sengoku and Whitebeard think so.

The tacit understanding between the Navy and Rocks has not been broken yet. Even if they start fighting now, they will not be able to win in a short time. When the leaders of both sides arrive, they will either fight directly or retreat. No matter how fiercely they fight now, they will have to stop when the leader says not to fight. So they just fight casually. Neither side has thought about a real life-and-death battle.

The navy currently has six peaks, and on the pirate side, there are five peaks if we only count the Rocks Pirates, and the Roger Pirates also have two peaks. Once a full-scale war breaks out, the Roger Pirates must stand on the side of Rocks whether they like it or not, otherwise the two of them cannot withstand the six peaks of the navy.

This means that, on the surface, once a full-scale war breaks out, the navy will be at a disadvantage, and naturally the navy will not dare to start a war.

Rocks thought so too. Even though Rocks only had the five greatest peaks now, Charlotte Linlin was only one step away from reaching the peak. Her recognized brother, trainee crew member Kaido, was also a gifted being with the potential to reach the peak. He would also be able to reach this level in a few years.

By then, the Rocks Pirates will have 7 top warriors. When the time comes, they will join forces with Roger to officially start the conquest of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons. The chances of winning will be high!

Rocks knew that Liu Mang, the real leader of the Navy, would never be willing to be a running dog of the World Government. He had fought with him several times in the past few years, and his increasingly powerful domineering aura was proof of that. A strong man who longed for freedom and eternity could never tolerate the Celestial Dragons bullying him.

Therefore, the navy can also fight for it!

If he could mobilize the navy to join in the action, the World Government would surely be destroyed. Then, with the help of his seven top warriors, he could defeat the navy and the position of King of the World would be within his grasp!

So, he really doesn't want to go to war with the Navy, at least not before destroying the World Government.

Putting himself in Liu Mang's shoes, he felt that Liu Mang should have the same idea.

But in fact, it is not like that. Liu Mang doesn’t care how strong Rocks is. The World Government must be destroyed, and the Rocks Pirate Group must also be destroyed. Moreover, he must definitely destroy Rocks first before overthrowing the World Government.

Revolution is a positive, progressive and sacred cause. No reactionary, backward and decadent forces shall be allowed to participate in it and seize the fruits of victory.

Even now, as long as he opens the sharing, the navy can dispatch 14 top powerhouses. After waiting another to years, there should be people who can break through to the top level. Add to that Akainu, Aokiji, Kizaru, Fujitora, Green Bull, and the twelve admiral candidates who will accept sharing, and nearly top masters will come out in full force. What can the World Government do?
Unfortunately, both sides did not expect that more than a year later, a shocking secret would be revealed on the secret island of the Celestial Dragons in the West Sea - the Valley of the Gods, which would gather both sides there and start the decisive battle between the Navy and Rocks ahead of schedule!
