One Piece: Starting with God Valley, intercepting the Dark-Dark Fruit

However, the idea of ​​popping champagne halfway through the game was always a big no-no. Just as Rocks grabbed a naval officer by the collar, ready to snap his neck, a black and red sword beam streaked across the sky and hurtled towards them.

"God avoids!"

Rocks' pupils contracted, and he threw the navy weapon aside, retreating rapidly.

The sword's edge struck the ground, stirring up a cloud of smoke. When the smoke cleared, a bottomless ravine was revealed before everyone's eyes.

"Shh!"

A figure draped in a red cloak descended from the sky, a confident smile on their face. Garp, who had been listless, suddenly roared as if injected with adrenaline.

"Roger! You bastard, you've finally shown up!"

Roger turned and smiled at Garp, then pointed his sword at the grim-faced Rocks and said in a deep voice,

"Lox, you're far too dangerous! We can't let you continue like this!"

Chapter 10: The Death of Lox

Roger's words really baffled Rocks. He only understood one thing: Roger, a pirate, had chosen to side with the World Government against him!

Newgate forced Garin, who had been locked in combat with him for a long time, back with a single air blast. Several crisscrossing knife wounds could be seen on Garin's exposed chest, with blood oozing out from time to time.

Garin's golden armor, unique to the Knights of God, was shattered in several places, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. The young Newgate, combined with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, was not so easy to deal with.

The fight between the two was extremely intense. If Roger hadn't suddenly appeared, one of them would probably have perished here today.

Newgate glanced at Roger, his eyes darting around, his thoughts unreadable.

Roger certainly didn't come alone. A short while later, the vice-captain Rayleigh arrived with the rest of the crew. They stood behind Roger and confronted the Rocks Pirates.

At this critical moment, the arrival of the Roger Pirates completely reversed the course of the battle. Rocks' face was extremely ugly, and he now wished he could devour Roger alive.

The members of the Rocks Pirates had different expressions. Apart from Linlin, who had disappeared somewhere, most of them were looking around, clearly intending to run away.

Lockes naturally noticed this as well, and he didn't have time to think about it anymore. He roared and raised his aura to the extreme, instantly casting a shadow over the entire sky.

Clenching his fists, black Conqueror's Haki crackled as Rocks moved like lightning, his terrifying aura locking onto Roger. He was determined that even if he failed today, he would kill Roger, that scoundrel of a pirate!

Facing Rocks' all-out attack, Roger's expression turned solemn. He wrapped Conqueror's Haki around Ace, one of the Twelve Great Grade Swords, and charged towards Rocks.

However, as soon as they clashed, Roger felt his sword-wielding arm almost go numb; Rocks's strength was even more terrifying than he had anticipated.

Seeing Roger in a precarious situation, Rayleigh immediately wanted to draw his sword to help, but Garp from the Navy was faster than him.

A jet-black iron fist descended from the sky. Rocks, preoccupied with killing Roger in front of him, was caught off guard and was blasted away by Garp's punch, forced to retreat.

Looking at Roger Garp standing side by side with him, Rocks was so angry he could barely speak, and after a long while he managed to utter four words.

"Utterly disgusting!"

He had originally intended to strike first to stabilize the demoralized troops, but he failed and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to him.

However, at this very moment, Lingling, who had been "untraceable," suddenly returned, holding a blue Devil Fruit in her hand.

While everyone was fighting, she used the Soul-Soul Fruit's power to imbue a piece of land with her soul, and ultimately obtained the Azure Dragon Fruit.

Seeing Lingling reappear, Locke was initially quite relieved, thinking that this woman still had some conscience. However, before he could be happy for long, Lingling's words almost petrified him on the spot.

"Kaido, you idiot, why are you working so hard?! Look what I found! Come with me!"

Kaido was overjoyed when he saw the Azure Dragon Fruit and actually rushed towards Linlin. After the two met, they turned and left, disappearing from everyone's sight in a few breaths.

"..."

After a brief silence, Newgate suddenly sighed. He was now extremely disappointed with the Rocks Pirates. He hoisted Kumogiri onto his shoulder, turned around, and walked away into the distance without saying a word.

He wasn't moving fast, but the World Government didn't try to stop him at all, letting Newgate swagger away.

Shiki took a puff of his cigar. He was the most composed person on the field. After all, he was a user of the Float-Float Fruit. If he wanted to leave, basically no one could stop him.

After Linlin and Kaido disappeared, Rocks stood quietly in place, not saying a word even after Newgate left.

But Roger and Garp, standing opposite him, suddenly felt a terrifying, suffocating aura. Rocks, facing certain death, was about to fight for his life.

Satan's old face already showed an expression of confidence, but his body remained tense, knowing that Lox was in his most dangerous state at this moment.

Lox slowly raised his head, and a cold voice slowly escaped his lips.

"Roger... Celestial Dragons... Marines... You all deserve to die!!!"

boom!

With a deafening roar, the earth collapsed instantly. Lox led his few loyal followers into the enemy ranks. In an instant, countless limbs and severed bodies flew through the air, and the entire battlefield was shrouded in blood mist.

The World Government, the Navy, and the Roger Pirates all joined forces, deploying all their top-tier combat power to besiege Rocks, who had gone berserk in the center of the battlefield.

Lox showed no fear. He flung off his blood-stained cloak and laughed wildly.

"Come at me all at once! I'm Rocks, you know!!!"

......

After an unknown amount of time, the roaring sounds that echoed throughout the Valley of the Gods gradually subsided.

At the edge of the Valley of the Gods, Newgate pushed a small wooden boat into the sea, then leaped into it.

The Rocks Pirates' ships had long been destroyed by the approaching naval vessels, so he had no choice but to build this relatively sturdy little boat himself.

Newgate glanced back in the direction of God Valley, shook his head, and said softly,

"Goodbye, Captain Rocks."

After saying that, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a sky-blue Devil Fruit, thinking to himself,

"I actually found a Devil Fruit on the way here. It must have been prepared by those Celestial Dragons. What a lucky find for me."

......

On naval warships,

Sengoku was sitting on a bench wiping the blood off his body. There were too many wounded naval personnel in this battle, and the medics were already overwhelmed. Relying on his strong physique, he did not choose to be treated by the medics and gave the limited resources to other naval officers and soldiers.

Just as he was about to press the cotton ball into the wound with tweezers, with a bang, Garp suddenly pushed the door open and burst in.

"Hey! Sengoku, are you alright?!"

"Pfft!"

Looking at the tweezers inserted into the wound, Sengoku's lips twitched. He turned to unleash his anger when Garp suddenly tossed out a wooden box, saying casually,

"Look what I found!"

The box was covered with several pieces of gold leaf, and it was clear that the contents inside were very valuable. Sengoku raised an eyebrow, slowly opened the box, and a golden Devil Fruit lay quietly inside.

Sengoku stared wide-eyed at Garp in disbelief. Garp chuckled and said...

"This must be one of those Celestial Dragons' Devil Fruits. I found one, and you know I'm not a big fan of those people, so I won't hand it over. But I don't want to become a landlubber either. If you're interested, you can have it!"

Meanwhile, on Roger's pirate ship,

Roger and the others stood around a wooden crate, staring blankly at the red-haired baby inside. The baby waved its little hands, not crying but giggling instead...

Chapter 11 Memory Recovery, Changes in the Body

In the Kingdom of Solbel, a lawless land, in front of a somewhat dilapidated church...

"Boom!"

Giger and the other three were teleported there one after another. Ivan shook his dizzy head and muttered to himself,

"What happened? I feel so dizzy... Where am I?"

The bear looked up at the church in front of it, a sad expression on its face, and slowly began to speak.

"This is the country where I was born, the Kingdom of Solbel."

Ginny looked around curiously and asked,

"So we escaped? There's even a church here!"

"Yes, this church belongs to my father; he was a pastor..."

Ivan and Ginny fell silent. They had heard Bear talk about his experiences and knew that he was recalling those painful memories.

"Well......"

Jig, who had been silent all along, suddenly let out a painful cry.

Upon hearing this, the three Xiongs hurriedly looked at Jig. They saw him holding his forehead with one hand, his brows furrowed, and fine beads of sweat appearing on his forehead. He didn't look well.

Giger's actions at God Valley had solidified the three's respect for him as their "big brother," with even Ivan, the oldest, joining in the chorus of respect.

"Brother Jig, what's wrong?!"

The three ran to Giger's side. Ivan squatted down and let Giger put his arm around his shoulder. Ginny gently stroked Giger's chest, while the bear stretched out its paws towards Giger.

Giggs saw through Kuma's intention; he wanted to use the power of the Paw-Paw Fruit to try and help him expel the "pain".

It has to be said that the bear and the Paw-Paw Fruit seem to be a match made in heaven. The two are highly compatible. In addition, Giger had explained the abilities of the Paw-Paw Fruit to them in advance, and now the bear has figured out some practical uses of the Paw-Paw Fruit.

However, Giger raised his hand to stop the bear's actions. Under the bear's puzzled gaze, Giger let out a soft sigh and said weakly,

"You're not quite familiar with the Paw-Paw Fruit's abilities yet, so don't use them recklessly. Besides, even if you do use them, there's no one else around right now, and the pain will eventually return to me."
