One Piece: From the God Valley Era

"This is..."

Acnoya looked up at the cracked sky and the black and red lightning.

"Rocks' Conqueror's Haki and the Five Elders' Conqueror's Haki?"

"The Knights of God are speed bumps, I wonder if the Five Elders are speed bumps too."

"Roger, where are you? Come out here!"

Just then, a familiar roar reached everyone's ears.

Upon hearing this voice, Acnoya's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "That mad dog Garp is looking for Roger again. They really are a pair of star-crossed lovers, each with their own love-hate relationship."

"Roger should just go along with Garp, then he won't have to go around harming young girls and hundreds of thousands, or even more, pregnant women."

"Shaqi, Shaqi..."

At the same time, a familiar voice came from not far away again.

A man carrying a long sword and wearing glasses ran over.

It was Rayleigh.

"Halt, Rayleigh!"

Just as Rayleigh was about to rush over, Acnoya stopped him.

"Akunoa!" Rayleigh stopped in his tracks, looking at the man in front of him with a serious expression.

He had personally experienced Acnoya's strength.

"I saved Shakky, and I can never repay her life. I don't need Shakky to repay me with her body, so I'll offer her treasure worth 500 million Berries, or three Devil Fruits!"

As the saying goes, even close brothers should keep clear accounts.

Xia Qi wasn't his biological brother, but she was practically his sister-in-law, so he still had to settle accounts with her.

After all, his sister-in-law belongs to someone else, but the money is his own; he is very clear about this distinction.

"Gloria, aren't you going to do anything about this?!" Shakky glared at Gloria, who was standing to the side, upon hearing this.

Asking for 500 million Berries and three Devil Fruits without even asking is just asking for a sucker.

We're not in an era of inflation yet, so 500 million peles is quite a lot of money.

So Acunoa's demands are outrageous.

At that moment, Gloria imitated them and smashed their heads.

However, her domineering aura was no less than Acnoya's, so their injuries were healing rapidly.

But with Acnoya in charge, they've returned to being punching bags, just a bunch of trash.

"So what!" Gloria said matter-of-factly. "Akunoa is my man, his money is my money."

"And we've mobilized so many people; 500 million Berries is no small amount."

"Besides, if Rayleigh won't even offer 500 million Berries, you should find another man. He doesn't deserve you!"

Xia Qi opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word, rendered speechless by the retort.

Acnoya, on the other hand, felt as if he had heard these words somewhere before; they sounded very familiar, but he didn't want to recall them.

"I'll pay five hundred million!" Rayleigh spoke up at the opportune moment. He adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice, "However, I need some time, and could you offer Devil Fruits and money in equal amounts?"

Circumstances dictate his actions; he can't defeat Acnoya, so he'd better pay up.

Most importantly, Acnoya and Gloria really did save Shakky, and even the entire Rocks Pirates mobilized.

So, he gave it to a mere 500 million.

"Good, that's great!" Acnoya was very satisfied: "Since you're so generous, I'll give you all these guys for free."

"They are all members of the Celestial Dragons' Knights of God, and they all have feelings for Shakky."

"Just a heads up, they possess what's called immortality, but it's countered by domineering aura. It will take some skill to kill them completely."

He wasn't very interested in the trash; money was more tangible.

Moreover, their immortality is related to Im. If they were kept around as test subjects or punching bags, it would easily cause problems, like a time bomb.

So it was given to Rayleigh as a gift.

"Immortality?"

Rayleigh glanced thoughtfully at the group of headless creatures around him, whose heads were slowly being repaired.

"It seems you know quite a bit about the Celestial Dragons."

"Hmm, I know a little bit." Acnoa pointed to the universe.

However, he only had a superficial understanding of the Celestial Dragons' information, relying entirely on what he found online; he knew nothing about anything he hadn't seen online.

After all, the plot after Doflamingo was a complete mess.

Wano Country is utterly disgusting, it even makes Guy, the villain, stand out.

But Guy is also a fool. He's been trying to conquer Wano Country for decades, but they managed to turn the tables on him.

As expected, Kaido is better suited to be a henchman than a ruler.

Now, Kaido is just Acnoya's henchman; the management is left to the professionals.

Gloria is the former queen of Amazon Lily and has experience in managing a country. Although her management style is a bit rough, she is still better than Kaido, who is a simpleton.

With his assistance, managing the small country of Wano is no problem.

Yes, Acnoya's next plan is to conquer Wano Country and wipe out the Kozuki clan.

The other guys in Wano Country can be killed or spared, but the Kozuki clan must be killed.

The notebook left behind by the deceased Kozuki Oden could brainwash Yamato; the faked-death Kozuki Sukiyaki watched her granddaughter end up in a brothel; Kozuki Hiyori spent decades in brothels but didn't gather as much information as Robin did in a few days; and Momonosuke is another story...

It's true what they say, "Birds of a feather flock together."

Although Hiyori Kozuki and Momonosuke weren't even fertilized eggs, that didn't stop her from killing Oden and Sukiyaki.

As for his ally, the Mink Tribe, if they dare to seek revenge, he will join forces with Zunesha to wipe them out.

It is essential to nip the problem in the bud to prevent unnecessary trouble in the future.

Closer to home.

Rayleigh nodded, then looked at the others with a cruel smile: "Then leave these people to me. I'm quite confident in my own domineering abilities."

"This is a good opportunity to avenge Xia Qi."

"Alright, it's up to you now. I'm going to go rob some stuff. These bastards are pretty smart; they know to bring their own valuables when they go out. If we don't go now, everything will be taken."

Acnoya extended a finger, and golden light instantly flared up, slicing through Figarando's legs like a longsword.

Pfft...

A large amount of blood gushed out from his knees, and the red bloodstains instantly stained the ground. He fell to the ground and was stunned for a moment before clutching his legs and howling in pain.

And his supposedly immortality did not begin to repair his legs.

The energy surrounding his wounds was constantly resisting the regenerative power of his immortal body.

To restore it, the qi needs to be cleared first.

"Gloriosa, let's go find Kaido and King." Acnoya put his hands in his pockets and walked towards Gloriosa.

"it is good."

Gloria nodded, came to Acnoya's side, reached out and took his arm, placing herself in the ravine.

"Let's go!"

The next second, Acnoya and Gloriosa took flight and shot towards where Kaido and King were.

Rayleigh gazed in the direction the two had left and sighed, "That guy's gotten even stronger. He's a monster."

"But now..."

He quickly walked to Xia Qi's side, swung his sword and severed the sea stone chains binding her without harming her in the slightest.

This is the man whose code name is an ancient weapon.

Rayleigh, the Dark King of the Roger Pirates!
