I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

But when all that accumulated pain suddenly erupted, Sieg couldn't hold back any longer...

“Alright, I have plenty of meat on my ship.” Whitebeard waved his hand.

He still had many things he wanted to talk to Dracula about.

Further away, Sengoku glanced at Dracula and Whitebeard, clenching his fist but then relaxing it.

"The Impaler Dracula has reappeared... but now is not the time to pay attention to him."

Zhan Guo sighed softly.

God Valley was thus destroyed, and the Navy's casualties were still unknown.

Compared to Dracula, there are even more infamous pirates like Whitebeard and Shiki...

Furthermore, they also need to search for Rocks' body to confirm whether he is truly dead.

The navy has a lot to do.

.........

Coastal area of ​​God Valley Island.

Among the dozens of pirate ships anchored on the shore, one pirate ship broke away from the formation and headed away into the distance.

"what happened?"

"Captain Rocks hasn't returned yet? Who left without permission?"

"That's...John! He's a high-ranking official! Isn't he afraid of being killed for leading this kind of unauthorized action?"

The pirates were all surprised and raised objections.

"Haha...you guys are too slow to react."

The great pirate John stood at the bow of the ship and loudly proclaimed:

"Rocks is dead!"

As a cadre, he immediately gathered his subordinates, stowed the anchor, and set sail, leaving his companions far behind.

At this moment, he was filled with pride:

"The others reacted too slowly!"

"I will be the first to return to Beehive Island! And the entire legacy of the Rocks Pirates will be mine!"

The pirates looked at each other, watching John gradually disappear into the distance, and a commotion arose.

"That's right, Rocks is indeed dead. His presence has completely vanished. He was defeated by Roger and Garp."

Shiki the Golden Lion floated in the air and loudly proclaimed this fact.

"What? Captain Rocks is dead?"

"Then what do we do?"

The pirates were starting to panic.

In the heavily fortified Valley of the Gods, with their captain dead and surrounded by numerous powerful Marines... what can they do?

In their confusion, they heard Shiki the Golden Lion's voice echoing in the air:

"How about it? Want to become my subordinate, Shiki the Golden Lion?"

"With my abilities, getting you out of God Valley alive is a piece of cake!"

Shiki the Golden Lion clapped his hands, and dozens of pirate ships anchored on the sea suddenly rose into the air and hovered there.

"this...."

The pirates' faces showed anger.

Golden Lion's power is enough to take all the ships away... Without their ships, the pirates on the destroyed God Valley face only two possibilities: death or capture by the Navy.

"I'll join!"

"I... I'm joining too!"

Amidst the pirates' cheers, Golden Lion glanced disdainfully at John in the distance, inwardly scoffing:

"Shortsighted fellow, actually coveting Lox's legacy."

"The great pirates of the Rocks Pirates are the greatest legacy of the Rocks Pirates!"

Shiki the Golden Lion, a cigar in his mouth, smiled and waved his hand:

"Then, the Flying Pirates are hereby established!"

He used his power to make those dozens of pirate ships land back on the sea, waiting for the pirates he had recruited to board them.

"Oh my god, Golden Lion, you really went too far!"

"That's right, with the captain gone, they're already thinking about recruiting someone else!"

"Instead of joining the Golden Lion, come and follow me!"

Amidst the cold laughter, Big Mom, Kaido, Silver Axe, Wang Zhi, and others made their appearance one after another.

"What? You've taken all the ships? Do you want to start a war with us here?" BIGMOM sneered.

Shiki the Golden Lion's smile faded slightly.

Even the Golden Lion wouldn't be so arrogant as to fight against so many great pirates at the same time.

He waved his hand again, sending half of the pirate ship he was controlling back into the sea, and then led his dozens of pirate ships away into the sky.

Meanwhile, Big Mom, Kaido, and the others got into a fight along the shore of God Valley.

"So, what do we do next?"

"To launch a surprise attack on the Navy and avenge Captain Rocks?"

"Heh... Go by yourself!"

"Rocks is dead! The next captain's position is naturally mine, Silver Axe's. Now, of course, we must first rename the Rocks Pirates to the Silver Axe Pirates!"

"Just you?"

"Whitebeard, would you like to be the captain?"

"..."

far away.

Sengoku and the surviving naval commanders watched this scene from afar, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as he had expected.

With Rocks' death, the entire pirate crew fell apart.

"Unfortunately, we no longer have the strength to pursue this rabble."

At that moment, sailors emerged from the abyss carrying a body bag.

"Vice Admiral Sengoku, Rocks' body has been found."

Chapter 782 The End of an Era

The navy untied the body bag and let Sengoku take a look.

Inside the body bag, Lox's eyes were closed, his body was covered in wounds and bloodstains, and his body was still warm, indicating that he had just died.

"How could someone survive such an attack with a complete corpse?"

The Warring States period was marked by a deep frown.

Although he wasn't quite sure what the beam of light that had descended from the sky was, its immense power was undeniable.

To be honest, Sengoku had already mentally prepared for the possibility that Rocks' remains would be completely destroyed or not intact, requiring the Navy to spend a lot of time searching for his body in the abyss.

Thinking about it this way, even though Rocks was dead, his power still made Sengoku somewhat uneasy.

"It seems he barely survived the beam of light, then died from exhaustion?"

A member of CP0, wearing a smiling mask, approached, his voice deep:

"The Sengoku period general, Locke, was a man of great importance and extremely high status."

"The World Government needs to know the details of that battle and the specific cause of Rocks' death as soon as possible."

CP0 paused for a moment:

"The possibility of using someone else's corpse to impersonate Rocks while he himself faked his death and escaped is small, but it cannot be ignored."

The smiling mask glanced at Rocks' corpse a few times, but then felt reassured.

Historically, some bounty hunters have indeed used fake corpses to deceive the navy.

As an intelligence agent, the smiling masked man was very familiar with this kind of thing.

Therefore, when he heard that Lox's body had been found intact in the pit, he instinctively became wary.

But when he saw Rocks' body, his doubts gradually disappeared.

Because this corpse was not the blurry, unrecognizable corpse he had imagined; its size and appearance were exactly the same as those described in the intelligence.

Without a doubt, this is Rocks, not a fake!

But in order to satisfy the world government, the routine procedures still need to be followed.

"I know."

The Warring States period also expressed its understanding.

Indeed, Rocks' death was more important than the appearance of Dracula the Impaler and the disintegration of the Rocks Pirates combined.

"Go find Karp and bring him here."

"Also, call a few doctors over."

Zhan Guo gave instructions to his subordinates.

A moment later, Garp, his body wrapped in bandages, arrived and recounted the events of the previous battle to CP0, Sengoku, and others.

The doctors then began examining Locke's body.
