What they feared was not Aokiji's strength, but the power he represented.

They did not make any further moves.

Kizaru stopped and stood still, as if waiting for something.

"Another admiral?!"

The Straw Hat crew crashed to the ground, and Luffy and Zoro exclaimed in surprise.

Sanji put the two down, his lips twitching: "Where exactly were you sent flying? At least look at the newspaper!"

Luffy is undergoing closed training, while Zoro is focused solely on practicing his swordsmanship.

Neither of them seemed to know that Aokiji was no longer a Marine.

"Luffy!"

"Zoron!"

"Sanji!"

A life-or-death race all the way.

Luffy and his crew had unknowingly arrived at the port.

Hearing Nami and the others calling out, Luffy and his two companions quickly turned around.

A large number of fallen naval soldiers, along with several completely destroyed Pacifistas, came into view first.

Looking up, the bow of the Sunny...

White-haired Jue, with a black egret standing at the bow of the boat.

Nami, Robin, and the others were handcuffed with sea stone and stood in a row.

Having regained some of his strength, Luffy stood up and roared, "Hey! Who are you people? Let go of my crewmate right now!"

Not to mention Aokiji leaving the Navy, even White Zetsu, whom he met once during the Marineford War.

Luffy, being so thick-skinned, had long forgotten about it.

"What on earth is going on?! Even the Empire's forces have come!"

Sanji got up from the ground, his brows furrowed.

No wonder Kizaru suddenly stopped, and Aokiji, who had left the Navy, also appeared on this island.

Zoro, whose abdomen was still oozing blood, stopped Luffy, saying, "Don't be impulsive, Luffy!"

Not to mention the White Zetsu and Black Heron on the ship, the giant bear standing below the Sunny is not someone who can be easily dealt with.

"Hey, Straw Hat Boy!"

Smacking his large cigar, White Zetsu waved to Luffy and the others: "Hurry up and get on the ship, we've prepared all the local specialties for you!"

"Specialty products? What kind of specialty products?"

Luffy asked expectantly, "Is it grilled meat? Or something delicious?"

Nami and the others were only handcuffed; they were not injured.

Therefore, Luffy, having expended a great deal of energy, inevitably thought of a huge amount of delicious food.

"You're really interesting, kid!"

White Zetsu grinned, raised his hand and shook the three pairs of seastone handcuffs in his hand: "Special products of Wano Country, come on up!"

"--Wow!"

"Samurai attire, that's a specialty of your country!?"

Luffy blinked his big eyes innocently and asked, "Handcuffs made of black bread?"

boom! ! !

The navy personnel who arrived later collapsed in large numbers.

What an amazing train of thought!

The other onlookers were also speechless.

"blast!"

In the instant Luffy lost focus, a terrifying blade of light suddenly swung out from the side!

"Timely Rain, White Thunder!"

A terrifying slash that cut through the ground, as swift as lightning, hurtled straight towards Luffy and his companions!

His gaze swept over Korin, who was wielding a sword not far away, and Aokiji, who was closest, was just about to move.

"Don't think about it!"

Speed ​​equals weight!

Kizaru delivered a lightning-fast kick, firmly stopping Aokiji who was trying to come to the rescue!

Oops!

Zoro, Sanji, and Perona, who fell down with them, reacted in the second half of the second.

In the instant the three were horrified, a burly figure appeared and blocked their way.

"Bear Paw Impact!!!"

Chapter 233 The God Valley Incident, Kuma's Crisis!

A crimson blade of light, imbued with terrifying killing intent!

The atmospheric impact bursting forth from the bear's paw!

The deafening roar echoed throughout the entire island!

"Bang, bang bang!"

The ground beneath his feet trembled for a moment, and his burly figure uncontrollably staggered back several steps.

The black priest's robe still bore several sharp cuts.

Obviously

Kuma, who took a direct hit from Garin's sword, did not have it easy.

"You brat from the Bakania tribe!"

Garin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his terrifying Conqueror's Haki exploded across the sky!

Compared to the thwarted attack, the giant bear standing before him infuriated Garin even more!

"You born slave, how dare you show your face before me!"

Looking at the bear's imposing body, Garin once again recalled the great battle from decades ago.

That unprecedented chaos that took place in the Valley of the Western Sea God!

Ultimately, the island was completely sunk, and even its history was concealed by the World Government.

Thirty-eight years ago.

Located in the Western Sea, it is a twin-peaked island, which the king named "Valley of the Gods".

Upon learning of this, the Celestial Dragons, who considered themselves "descendants of gods," turned the entire island into hell.

Taking pleasure in taking the lives of the weak, the Celestial Dragons held a game called the Hunt in God Valley.

The king who named the king was killed by Garin Saint with a single blow.

And all the innocent civilians on the island, and the slaves kept by the Celestial Dragons...

Approximately 100,000 people were treated as prey in the game.

The nine-year-old bear with Bakania blood was one of the highest-scoring prey among the 100,000 animals.

A bloody game where you earn points by killing people.

Karin was the most popular favorite to win the championship in the Knights of God back then.

Kill the prey with the highest score and stand out from the rest of the knights.

Win the prize in the competition and gain Lord Im's favor.

Karin Sei thought the story would unfold this way, but...

Nine-year-old Big Bear, fifteen-year-old Ivankov, and Bonnie's mother Ginny.

A group of slaves obtained intelligence about the Celestial Dragons' hunt beforehand.

And the competition prizes were spilled at sea.

The Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form, and the Paw-Paw Fruit that Kuma ate later.

These two extraordinary fruits should have been Garin's prize.

Big Bear himself was his prey from the very beginning.

As a result, the Rocks Pirates, attracted by the Devil Fruit, easily broke through the ironclad defenses set up by the Navy around God Valley!

Young Whitebeard Newgate, Golden Lion Shiki, Kaido of the Beasts, Big Mom Linlin...

And the Dark King who overwhelmed all others, Lox.

Ignoring the large number of marines, the Rocks Pirates forcefully landed on the island.

While the Celestial Dragons on the island were still raging over the Navy's incompetence, another legendary pirate ship broke through layers of defenses at the same time!

With their elite forces unstoppable, the entire Roger Pirates crew has landed.

Naval heroes followed closely behind.

Garp, at his peak, also crashed into the feast of battle!

More than a dozen strands of Conqueror's Haki tore through the sky, bombarding the island relentlessly!

Saint Satan, one of the Five Elders, was also forced to take action during the war.

All-star lineup!
