The gods descend into reality

An elderly man wearing a dark blue suit, with long, straight white hair and a long beard, spoke earnestly.

The resources of an entire world—a fortune that would be unimaginable even for a world government.

Even those idiots in Mary Geoise know the importance of the New World, so how could the five of us not know!

People are easily swayed by self-interest; even knowing that there might be many powerful beings in that world, they didn't take it to heart.

The Four Emperors are terrifying enough, aren't they?

In the New World, the power of the Four Emperors completely overwhelms the Navy, and even if the Navy were to fight one of them, it could not guarantee a complete victory.

But for world governments...

If necessary, any or all factions in the new world can be wiped out at any time.

The World Government has been established for eight hundred years; how could its foundation possibly be compared to those pirates who have only risen to prominence in the last few decades?

It's just that it's not time to clean it yet.

"The pirates in the New World can be dealt with by the Navy. Let's send some P0 members to that world to gather intelligence."

One of the Five Elders, dressed in a dark red suit, without a bow tie, with blond hair, a blond beard, and a scar on his chest, spoke.

"I second that."

"I second that."

With the other two agreeing, the approach to dealing with the other world seemed to be settled.

Meanwhile, the Sabaody Archipelago.

Xia Qi's extortion.

A rather peculiar guest arrived today; Shakky rarely saw Rayleigh, that old drunkard, proactively invite someone to drink with him.

Moreover, the old man in front of me, wearing a skull mask and wielding a greatsword, gave me a creepy feeling just by looking at him.

This is probably just my imagination.

After all, he was once one of the most notorious pirates who roamed the seas, and even a Marine Admiral couldn't give him this feeling.

"Hahaha, this friend looks like it's his first time visiting the Sabaody Archipelago."

Rayleigh picked up the wine bowl, took a big gulp, and laughed loudly.

However, Rayleigh's gaze remained fixed on the old man.

The other party was clearly a powerful figure from the previous era, yet he had never seen or even heard of him. Judging from his aura alone, he was at least at the level of a general.

"This is indeed my first time here, and I am somewhat disappointed."

The skull mask spoke in a strange tone.

"Haha, that's just how times are. It's better for us, as remnants of the last era, not to get involved."

Rayleigh laughed.

Although he didn't know who this person was, Rayleigh instinctively didn't want him to join this new era.

"The light of the setting sun will eventually fade; can you hear the evening bell of the era?"

Before Rayleigh could speak, the newcomer continued.

“I travel through many worlds, but I cannot interfere at will. I can only descend when beasts attack humanity. The crossroads of fate have appeared, and I will no longer have to act according to my mission.”

Rayleigh

What are you talking about?!

Many worlds?

What is a beast?

If someone who knows the old man in the skull mask hears what he says, then they will understand.

The original Grand rank could only be attained after certain conditions were met, and the old man's destiny was to risk his strongest attack for the Grand rank.

in other words

Wang Ha: The Grand Order is still on me and I haven't managed to cut it off yet, so annoying!

However, because it's a different world, the conditions that were originally required to descend into the human world are no longer necessary.

I can once again perform my favorite job in the human world.

"So why did this friend come to Sabaody Archipelago?"

Rayleigh always felt that he and the other person were not on the same wavelength at all.

"To witness the ugliness of humanity."

The old man stood up, holding the great black sword beside him.

"what?"

"I'm lost. How do I get to the Holy Land, Mary Geoise?"

Rayleigh

After all that rambling about feelings and all that nonsense, you just got lost?!

"After all, as an assassin, it would be extremely impolite not to know the location of the target."

"A assassin?"

Rayleigh glanced at the greatsword in King Ha's hand, his lips twitching uncontrollably.

"Hahahaha, look at this guy wielding that cool greatsword and calling himself an assassin, it's hilarious!"

"Hahaha"

A burst of laughter instantly filled the tavern.

These are pirates from all over the world who are preparing to go to the New World to make a name for themselves.

In fact, the pirates who managed to break through the Navy's blockade and reach the Sabaody Archipelago were all major pirates with bounties of at least tens of millions, and many had bounties of over one hundred million.

"Throughout my life, no one has ever seen my face during an assassination attempt."

A faint evening bell could be heard from inside the tavern.

"Nonsense! How could such a greatsword not be discovered!"

The pirate retorted loudly.

Wang Ha didn't reply; instead, he took out a vial of crystal-clear medicine.

"Grumpy"

"Click"

The potion shattered, and Wang Ha closed his eyes as if savoring its taste.

"Ceria's lucky potion has been a great help to this old man."

He swung his sword.

"when"

The pirate was instantly knocked back, and just as he was about to make another move, he lost his breath in an instant.

"A perfect stealth operation is achieved by killing all the witnesses. You are all guilty, so hand over your heads!"

"boom"

A roaring sound came from the air, and the next moment the entire tavern seemed to be swept up by a storm.

Rayleigh's eyes widened as he watched these scenes unfold.

With Rayleigh's strength, he could naturally see through the opponent's movements. Every move seemed to have been honed to the pinnacle of human skill. Even if Rayleigh himself were to compete in terms of physical prowess, he might not be the opponent's match.

What's most terrifying isn't the opponent's physical skills.

Instead, the opponent always retreats after a single contact, regardless of who they are fighting. The key is that the sword strikes the enemy's armor, sword, or even Devil Fruit ability.

Fifty percent of the people may appear to be unharmed, but they will suddenly die the next second.

Even Rayleigh, who was used to all sorts of bizarre Devil Fruit abilities, felt a chill run down his spine at this moment.

This is so eerie and terrifying!

"Click-clack"

Not only Shakky's tavern, but the slave auction venue was also shrouded in layers of ice.

"They didn't teleport us directly to Mary Geoise? But that's alright!"

Esdeath's body shone brightly and beautifully beneath the ice.

"Then let's lure them all over!"

Chapter 609 Naval Disobedience, Evening Bells Toll

"Oh no! The Celestial Dragons have been killed! Run!"

"The admiral is coming!"

Terrified cries came from the pirates, their faces filled with extreme fear.

Whenever the slave auction house goes on sale, Celestial Dragons often come here to buy some novel slaves.

Ordinary pirates, and even pirates under the command of the Four Emperors, are unwilling to provoke the Celestial Dragons.

Because the death of even one Celestial Dragon would prompt the Marine Admirals to mobilize.

And the Navy Admirals are precisely the beings that all pirates fear the most!

Every admiral is a monster among monsters, one of the highest combat forces in the navy.

Today, yet another Celestial Dragon has been killed?

This is simply unbelievable.

If they don't escape this island soon, it probably won't be long before all the pirates on the island are captured by the Marine Admirals and imprisoned in Impel Down.

How can I be locked up so easily when I haven't even obtained my dreams, treasures, or fame?!

"Ow"
