One Piece: True Several Thousand Hands, rampaging across Marineford!

Rocks must have been worried that Roger would stab him in the back.

"How did you determine that Water Star wasn't the final island?" Kahn casually brought up a topic.

"Wow~ Hahaha! When we arrived at that island, we discovered that it wasn't the last island. There was another, truly final island hidden in the ocean." Roger said with anticipation, "I must find that island."

"Become the Pirate King?"

"That's the best adventure ever, do you want to come along?"

"I'll go by myself." Kahn rolled his eyes at the future Pirate King, letting him figure it out for himself.

Last year was the year 'Red-Haired' Shanks and Bucky were born.

It was also the year that Roger's pirate crew arrived on Water Star.

On the coast.

"Wow~ Hahaha! Wang Zhi, come aboard my ship!" Roger grinned, beaming with a radiant laugh, extending the invitation countless times.

Wang Zhi resolutely refused.

Kahn, eating the orange the girl fed him, said, "Roger, I hope I don't see you for a while. Please don't get involved in our pirate crew's battles against the Navy and the World Government. You can't abandon your principles as a pirate."

"Wow~ Hahaha! We're bound to meet!" Roger's words showed that no one could stop him.

Kahn was leaning on the ship's railing.

I turned my head to look.

With the eyes of an eagle and the gaze of a wolf.

He didn't continue speaking, choosing instead to memorize the appearance of each member of Roger's pirate crew.

Roger, this optimistic pirate, always wore a smile that was unrestrained and extremely free. It was as if no moving tragedy could stop his bright smile, which was completely out of place with the tone of this world.

If he wants to bring hope to the world and use his smile to infect this world on the verge of collapse and despair, perhaps this future Pirate King really has the determination and courage to change the world.

But he didn't...

It's simply about finding a group of like-minded companions and living freely according to one's own desires.

He was still on his deathbed.

He made a declaration that was extremely contradictory to his own actions, thus ushering in the Age of Exploration.

No matter how you look at it, Kahn seems to be a lunatic no less than Shiki and John, or even far more lunatic than them. Thinking about that smile carefully... is it something a normal person could smile like?

It's less about its infectiousness and more about its transmissibility.

Kahn remembered seeing similar smiles on dangerous people and on severely mentally unstable patients.

But Roger's smile was even more terrifying. After looking at it for a while, it would subtly influence your thinking, making you do what he said and unconsciously follow his smile...

That's terrifying.

“Kahn, you’ve figured out what kind of person Roger is, haven’t you?” A cold glint flashed in Wang Zhi’s eyes as he smiled at him. “I used to think he was a decent guy, but I later discovered that he was an irrational person in both thought and behavior. Spending too much time with him can even lead to being gradually assimilated… He’s more terrifying than a demon.”

This world is already very abnormal.

Roger was the most abnormal of the abnormal people.

"This is suppressing the uniqueness of individuals born different from each other, eroding their individuality, which is indeed more terrifying than the devil." Kahn's first impression of Roger was that he was a 'pathogen' born with some kind of destiny, who would infect and assimilate those around him.

“You can have a drink with this kind of person occasionally, but don’t get too close to them. The crew members on that ship were all subtly influenced in their thinking. Maybe some of them noticed, but they developed a sense of camaraderie with Roger and didn’t take it to heart,” Kend added.

Kahn thought to himself, "A man like Roger can be a very good friend, but someone who sees through his true nature can be quite terrifying..."

Chapter 65: The Prelude to War (Please continue reading!)

On the coast.

Roger watched the two pirate ships sail away, his expression grave. "That little guy next to Wang Zhi is no ordinary person. I can sense that he has great potential for the future."

Jabba said dismissively, "His strength is just average. In terms of physical talent, who can compare to Charlotte Linlin? On the other hand, the Rocks Pirates have a newcomer named Kaido who is very strong and has terrifying potential for the future."

Rayleigh adjusted his glasses, a dangerous glint in his eyes, and smiled, "Lox sent his right and left hands here, probably to warn us not to interfere."

The Roger Pirates were least afraid of threats.

The Rocks Pirates will be wary of them, so we must find a suitable opportunity and the right moment to deliver a fatal blow to them.

If it weren't for the simultaneous arrival of both Wang Zhi's and John's factions...

The Roger Pirates might really need to consider... whether they should leave that faction behind.

But two came.

The Roger Pirates decided against taking action at this time.

First, it's not easy to crack.

Secondly, it could easily anger Rocks, causing them to abandon the World Government and Marine Headquarters and instead focus their attacks on the Roger Pirates.

When that time really comes.

The Roger Pirates are likely to be completely wiped out.

Rayleigh analyzed, "Rocks has already broadcast the execution of the Celestial Dragon live across the entire ocean. I think he'll be heading to God Valley next, within the next day or two at most. With the capabilities of the Navy and the World Government, they'll definitely be able to react. They'll be on guard against the Rocks Pirates. Our chance has come."

"Wow~ Hahaha! Rayleigh, let's head to God Valley!"

Jabba asked, "Where is the Valley of the Gods?"

Rayleigh smiled and said, "I have intelligence, information I got from Shakky. Rocks knows the true coordinates of God Valley, and I guessed right. The World Government was definitely planning to destroy Rocks, but he saw through our plan. We can secretly follow the Rocks Pirates."

Roger laughed heartily, "Wow~ Hahaha! There's no need for that, let's go find Garp!"

The entire Roger Pirates crew was mobilized.

New world.

On the high seas, Kahn leaned on the ship's railing, the twin girls were exercising, and John was rambling on and on, telling him all sorts of interesting anecdotes and his various experiences at sea.

"John, I find you much more pleasing to the eye than Roger."

"You're only just finding out?!"

John waved his little hand and twisted his waist, saying narcissistically, "I'm much more handsome than Roger. I'm not bragging, but in our pirate crew, only Wang Zhi can rival me."

Kahn: "..."

He didn't know what to say.

John is indeed good-looking; he's quite pleasing to the eye for a predominantly Western face.

Not common.

The women around John were always rosy-cheeked, clearly lusting after each other.

"Let's hurry back. The captain is heading towards the Valley of the Gods. Let's catch up and meet him." Wang Zhi kicked John. "Go back to your own ship."

"No, Wang Zhi, let me stay a little longer."

"..."

“I promise I won’t tell Kahn anything. You know I’m always very serious. Everything I teach him is useful knowledge. You can’t take care of him forever, right?”

"..." Wang Zhi's head was throbbing, and he sighed, "You can stay."

"Yeah~"

John made a victory sign.

Kahn watched this scene and rolled his eyes at the lunatic's smugness.

ill!

John's love of treasure and women is common knowledge on the high seas, and his despicable character makes many who hate him grit their teeth in hatred.

Mary Geoise.

The Five Elders were completely panicked after receiving the news.

"How is this possible? How could Rocks know the true coordinates of God Valley?! Who is the traitor?!"

"We must find out and tear that traitor to pieces!"

"Damn it! Don't let me catch that traitor! That traitor must be a key figure within God Valley!!!"

"It's too late! Rocks will definitely seize this perfect opportunity to head straight for God Valley; he wants to take it over!!!"

"What should we do now? God Valley is home to a large number of Celestial Dragons! Who can stop them?!"

"Shall we go and invite Lord Im?"

"Don't mention that person's name. It's not time yet. Notify the Navy to mobilize a large number of troops to God Valley. Also, send the coordinates of God Valley to the Navy. We should also mobilize some troops to God Valley as soon as possible..."

"Let's go and ask Lord Im together."

"..."

The Five Elders are highly efficient and effective; they are not useless. On the contrary, they are among the top elites in this world.

Lox already knows the true coordinates of God Valley.

Regardless of whether the news was true or false, the Five Elders guessed that Rocks would definitely take advantage of the execution of the Celestial Dragons to launch an attack on God Valley and gain support from all sides.

They will eventually form an exceptionally large pirate army.

They fought a war for three whole months, only to lose everything. Not only did they lose everything, but they also depleted their own strength, while the enemy's strength expanded. Could there be any worse news than this?

The Five Elders dared not gamble any longer and had to deal with Rocks as soon as possible and break up the Rocks Pirates.

As for the Naval Headquarters, try to deplete the Navy's combat power as much as possible.

Maintaining the power of the Navy Headquarters at a certain level is also a way to achieve the World Government's goal of permanently controlling the Navy Headquarters.

The Five Elders went to consult Im.

Upon learning that God Valley could be abandoned, the Five Elders reached a consensus and decided to go all out.

You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

The Five Elders plan to use the entire Valley of the Gods as Rocks' funeral, a funeral unprecedented in history, the only one of its kind in eight hundred years.

Naval Headquarters received information about Rocks's plan to attack God Valley.
