One Piece: We already have the Four Gods, so my Six Paths Sage is reasonable, right?

Roger.

Rayleigh's voice softened slightly, but with an unusual seriousness in it. "You need to think this through. Once you act on an intuition, there's no turning back. That means you'll be forever cut off from swimming and anything like that."

Rayleigh wasn't against it; he just wanted Roger to think it through. Eating a Devil Fruit was no child's play; it was a path from which there was no turning back, one that would affect a person's entire life.

Jabba nodded in agreement, then added, "Rayleigh is right. These kinds of things need to be thought through carefully."

"Click, click,"

A sudden chewing sound broke the heavy atmosphere in the ship's hall.

Rayleigh and Jabba simultaneously turned their heads to look at Roger. Before they knew it, Roger had already brought the Gum-Gum Fruit to his mouth and was chewing on it with relish, his cheeks puffing out.

"Hey, Roger, this is way too hasty!"

"Yeah, Roger, you should at least consider it!"

Roger chewed on the fruit, his signature smile on his face, and mumbled, "Fate chose me, and I will choose fate."

He swallowed the last bite, his expression contorting for a moment, his tone carrying genuine disgust: "Ugh, this is the taste, it's really hard to swallow."

Rayleigh and Jabba exchanged a glance, their faces both showing a sense of resignation, as if to say, "Oh well, that's Roger for you."

From then on, Roger of the old era consumed the Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Nikka form, which was given the name "God" by the World Government.

-------------------------------------

Elubaf, the Underworld.

Silver Axe regretted it.

I regret it so much.

Why are you being so shameless?

If the Golden Lion wants to stand up for Ron and improve relations, then let him do it! Why is he getting involved himself?

And Rocks and Whitebeard, you two are so heartless!

They just stood there watching the show, not even willing to lend a hand.

Harald is even more ruthless; every move he makes is aimed at killing. Why would you kill me? Go kill Ron! I'm just here to make an appearance!

Of course, Silver Axe wasn't the only one with this idea.

Golden Lion was cursing inwardly: Ron, you're inhuman! I told you to take a break, not to just rest and watch the show! I'm just here to go through the motions and earn a little extra money, not to risk my life for you!

This time, Golden Lion felt that Rocks had no choice but to pay him for his trouble. Not only did he have to pay, but he also had to pay for emotional distress, medical expenses, damages, and so on.

Clearly, both Silver Axe and Golden Lion suffered greatly in their battle against Harald.

"Thump!"

A loud bang rang out, and billowing smoke and dust shot into the sky.

As the shockwave spread, a figure was sent flying backward, tracing an arc in mid-air before heading precisely towards the golden nine-tailed fox demon.

Just as it was about to reach its destination, the figure, face down, slid down the ground with a "whoosh" and plowed a shallow furrow in the gravel and dust in front of the golden nine-tailed fox demon.

"Hey, hey, hey, Rocks, this guy looks like he's dead!" Loki, standing below the golden nine-tailed fox demon, shouted loudly, looking up.

Ron, Whitebeard, Rocks, and Lingling, who was sitting on the thundercloud, all subconsciously looked down, but no one spoke.

Loki looked at their expressions and a thought suddenly struck him. Although he was not yet a member of the Rocks Pirates, there were some things that might be meaningless to do, but not doing them would lower their favorability.

Once he had a clear understanding, he no longer hesitated.

He quickly ran to the prone figure, bent down, reached in, and pried the face-down silver axe out of the ground. Then, he grabbed the figure by the back of the collar, shook him a couple of times, and peered out, asking, "Hey, still alive?"

There was no response. He then shook it a few more times with more force.

Silver Axe closed his eyes, letting his body be swayed back and forth, a strong urge welling up inside him; he wanted to punch Loki.

If you have nothing better to do, go play in the mud! Why are you meddling in other people's business?

"Hey, he looks like he's passed out!" Loki added.

Ron, Whitebeard, Rocks, and Lingling all wore the same speechless expression: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"Boom!"

Another loud bang.

This time it was even closer, and the shockwave whipped up air currents carrying debris that swept in from the side.

Immediately afterwards, another figure flew out of the dust and crashed heavily onto the gravel ground in front of the golden nine-tailed fox demon, creating a shallow crater and scattering dust everywhere.

"Hey, Rocks, another one dead!" Loki shouted again, his voice carrying the busy energy of someone running around.

The golden lion lay face down on the ground, cursing even more viciously in his heart: Silver Axe, you bastard, you're so treacherous! You actually made me deal with Harald alone while you pretended to be dead?

As he was thinking, he realized that someone was grabbing the back of his collar.

He opened his eyes slightly, thinking he was about to be pulled into the golden nine-tailed fox demon's body by Ron, but when he turned his head, he saw Loki's youthful face.

Loki pulled him out of the pit, shook him a bit, and shouted upwards, "Roxne, this one's not dead, he's just passed out!"

Golden Lion cursed inwardly: "You brat, get out of here! Can't you see I'm resting?!"

"Put them both down," Ron's voice came calmly from within the golden nine-tailed fox demon. "I have a miraculous elixir that cures fainting spells."

"Oh," Loki responded, releasing his grip and placing the silver axe and the golden lion side by side on the ground. He then stepped back half a step and looked up to wait.

A miracle cure? Really?

The same thought simultaneously crossed the minds of Silver Axe and Golden Lion, who were lying on the ground.

But he quickly dismissed the idea. He couldn't say for sure about others, but Ron... might actually be right.

The golden lion thought to himself: If there really are any, I should take a few more; after all, they are good things.

Silver Axe was thinking: Is it a waste to give such a good thing to scum like Shiki?

"Sizzle,"

A sudden blast of scalding air pressed down from above, bringing with it a burning heat that tossed their hair and even distorted the air itself.

"Lava Release: Super Lava Sphere"

Sensing danger, Silver Axe and Golden Lion simultaneously opened their eyes.

Above, a golden chakra arm is raised high, holding an enormous lava fireball in its palm. Dark red magma slowly rolls on the surface of the ball, steaming with heat, like a small sun that may fall at any moment.

The next second, the two of them were launched from the ground as if they had been sprung up by a spring.

Before the Golden Lion could even regain his footing, his feet were already off the ground, and he was airborne, yelling upwards, "What are you doing?! Ron, are you trying to die?!"

Silver Axe also retreated several steps: "Ron, you bastard! We're on the same side!"

"Hahahaha~~"

"Gurara la la~~"

"Mmmmmm~~"

Hahaha~~

Laughter erupted at the same time.

The Golden Lion and the Silver Axe had stiff expressions, their lips twitching, wanting to curse but unable to find the right words.

Luo Ji stood to the side, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the laughter and the two "masters of fainting," a glint of light appearing in his eyes.

As expected of the Rocks Pirates, even their methods of waking up someone who has fainted are quite peculiar.

The laughter gradually subsided.

Lox stopped laughing, slowly drew his long sword from his waist, and said in a deep voice, "Alright, it's time to end all this."

He paused, then added, "Newgate, Ron, I need you two with me."

"I want to join too, Rocks!" Kaido shouted.

"Since I'm already here, I might as well stretch my muscles a bit," Lingling said.

"Then let's end this farce as quickly as possible." As soon as Lockes finished speaking, he suddenly leaped up.
