Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

That's how the world works: the strong rule the weak, nobles rule the common people, and the Celestial Dragons rule everything.

Only by recognizing reality can one live a fulfilling life in this world.

So when he sees some mavericks in the navy, he finds them annoying.

Especially that guy named Garp, his achievements in catching pirates in a month are equal to his entire career!

How much is a month's salary? Why risk your life for those ordinary people!

And that guy always acts like he's the best in the world, which makes me furious.

Powell stood on the deck, holding a glass of red wine with a tiny bit of it in it.

Fine red wine swirls in a crystal glass, releasing its rich aroma.

As the Den Den Mushi next to him broadcasted, he gently swirled his wine glass, leaving streaks of bright red wine on the glass.

He didn't care at all what was happening in God Valley.

It's only natural to encounter some resistance. There might be some pretty strong guys in this place, but so what? Any resistance is futile in the face of the World Government's power.

A colonel ran over to report, his face tense: "Lieutenant General Powell, communication in several areas has been completely cut off. Should we go in and take a look?"

"It's noisy."

Powell glared at him. "That's a Celestial Dragon restricted area. Apart from the advance team, any other Marines who want to land on the island must report it. Do you want to get shot by the Celestial Dragons if you just barge in?"

Having worked as a guard for so many years, he knows the situation very well.

Even if there are any strong individuals on the island, the Celestial Dragons' strong individuals are far more useful than them.

The Knights of God, Saint Satan, one of the Five Elders, and so many Celestial Dragons' personal guards.

With this lineup, unless the entire Rocks Pirates attack, there's no way anything could happen.

Therefore, it's none of their business no matter what happens.

Until the orders from above come down, we can just drink here.

This job is that simple.

“But,” the colonel wanted to say something more.

“But what?” Powell looked at him coldly. “Are you trying to disobey orders? Or do you think your judgment is more correct than that of the Celestial Dragons?”

The colonel's face paled, and he lowered his head: "I wouldn't dare."

"Then go patrol and stop getting in the way."

Powell waved his hand dismissively, as if shooing away a fly.

The colonel saluted, turned and left, his back looking somewhat forlorn.

Powell pursed his lips and continued sipping his wine.

These young people are always full of enthusiasm, believing that they can change the world.

Once they've spent a few more years in the navy and encountered more setbacks, they'll understand the truth of this world.

"Lieutenant General!"

A panicked voice came from nearby, "Orders have come from headquarters: the King of Giants has failed to stop the Rocks Pirates. They have broken through the defenses and are heading towards God Valley!"

Powell's hand trembled, and a few drops of red wine spilled onto his pristine white uniform.

He frowned, but wasn't too panicked: "What's there to be afraid of? It's just the Rocks Pirates. We have the World Government and the Celestial Dragons standing behind us."

That's what he said, but he was still a little uneasy.

The Rocks Pirates were a bunch of real monsters.

Captain Rocks D. Gibbek, in particular, is said to possess unbelievable strength.

But then he thought about it again and Powell relaxed.

So what if they're strong?

With Saint Satan here and the Five Elders in charge, even Rocks would have to kneel down.

"Besides,"

Powell seemed to be convincing himself, and also his subordinates, "Our task is to keep the civilians on the island in line and not let them leave. The rest will be handled by the big shots."

Not long after, several small boats sailed from the direction of the island.

The boat was packed with people, men, women, and children, all dressed in rags and with fear written all over their faces.

They rowed frantically, trying to get closer to the navy's warships.

"Lieutenant General! Civilians are approaching!" shouted the soldier on the watchtower.

Powell walked to the side of the ship and squinted at it.

Those were the original inhabitants of God Valley, and some were probably captured slaves.

They had clearly escaped from the island and were seeking refuge with the navy.

"Stop them," Powell ordered expressionlessly.

“But Lieutenant General, they are just a group of civilians.” The colonel who had just arrived ran over again, his face showing reluctance.

Powell looked at him coldly: "Stop with your childish ideas. Everything on this island, whether human or animal, already belongs to those Celestial Dragons. Our job is to keep watch and protect the area; don't have any other thoughts."

He stared into the colonel's eyes and said, word by word, "On my ship, you must obey my orders. Don't you understand that yet?"

The colonel opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing, and lowered his head: "Yes, sir."

The cannons on the warships were turned around and aimed at the small boats.

Chapter 416 Speed ​​Bumps, One After Another Crushed Over!

At the heart of the Valley of the Gods, atop the ruins.

Satan watched as black and red Haki patterns gradually enveloped Luffy's body, followed by the appearance of Zoan-type awakened flames draped over his shoulders, and coldly said:

"This is Nika's true form, Joy Boy. I didn't expect you to reappear after eight hundred years. I fought with you before, but my memories were erased. Was it the power of some kind of Devil Fruit?"

Even his memories will be erased, and that person never even mentioned it.

It can only be attributed to the power of Devil Fruits.

Devil Fruits like the Memory Fruit, which can alter memories, also exist.

Do you want to know?

Luffy grinned, "But I don't want to tell you."

"I will make you speak. Since you are here, it is fate."

Satan's half-beast body had completely transformed into a gigantic spider monster. He exhaled, "Enter my domain, poison mist!"

The territory of the venomous spider's lair in front of them continued to expand, and black venom spread from Satan's body, covering almost half of the arena at an extremely fast speed.

Those half-human, half-spider monsters were born from the venom and rushed towards Luffy one after another.

Click.

Luffy shattered space with a single punch, easily destroying it.

However, these things are endless, and the corpses explode after death, spraying out corrosive liquids.

Satan wasn't alone; he was backed by several members of the God Knights. Somaz's attack completely blocked Luffy's escape route, and thorns sprouted from the ground everywhere.

"A world of thorns!"

The thorns intertwined to form a net that stretched to the heavens and the earth, with sharp spikes that could even penetrate the defenses of Armament Haki, making it virtually impenetrable.

The poisonous fog and thorns almost surrounded Luffy, but in that instant, Luffy moved, breaking through the net, and his retractable fist reached Somaz.

Boom!

"Thunderfire Shock Fist!"

The fist, crackling with lightning and flames, slammed into Somaz's face, the shockwave destroying all the thorns in front of him and dispersing the spreading poisonous mist.

"Joey Boy? I've got him!"

A figure appeared beside Luffy; it was a woman.

The left side of its hair is dark, the right side is light, it has horns on its head, and sharp teeth in its mouth.

It doesn't look human at all.

But she can emit lasers from her mouth!

He had already pointed his mouth at Luffy and said, "Die!"

Maffei grinned.

No matter how terrifying Luffy's intimidation looks, he'll die if he gets hit in the head.

But they are immortal!

Although that posture looks terrifying, it still has its weaknesses.

"Be careful at Maffei Palace!"

Logically, lasers should be very fast, but before the laser from his mouth could be emitted, Luffy's strange fist had already struck his opponent from below.

The laser exploded in his mouth, and Maffei let out a scream, but the knife that was about to strike Maffei's head was blocked.

It is a knife.

"Is he a swordsman?"

Luffy glanced at Korin in front of him and grinned, saying, "But his strength is so weak."

Garin Sei broke out in a cold sweat. "What exactly is this guy's power?"

The two clashed, originally a contest of strength, but a vibrational force also emanated from the blade.

Garin Sei's hands were trembling.
