A cook, vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates?

The last one was an old man who looked kind and gentle, but held a huge plant in his hands, the vines of which danced around him as if they were alive.

Senro - Bach.

This is the era in which, apart from the newly appointed Admiral Zephyr, the other three admirals of the Navy each possess terrifying strength enough to suppress a region of the ocean.

At this time, Kong, Zephyr, Sengoku, and Garp are all on missions and cannot return in a short time.

Of course, they could not have predicted that the Rocks Pirates would dare to launch a preemptive attack on the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!

"Lox! You scum, how dare you lay a finger on the Holy Land! Today is your end!"

With a roar, Steel Arm Walter metalized his arms and charged straight at Rocks like a cannonball.

As the three generals charged toward him, Locke's smile grew increasingly cruel.

"The end of the world? No, for you, this is just the beginning!"

He charged at Walter, and their fists collided in mid-air with a deafening roar.

Newgate then faced off against Senrobach, and the power of vibration clashed fiercely with the endless plant vines.

Lingling was happily battling the poisonous dragon Ferdinand, and flames and poison dyed half the sky an eerie color.

A top-tier battle erupted instantly.

Looking at the earth-shattering battle scene, and then at the guards around him who, although fearless, were far weaker than the Rocks Pirates, he knew it was time to add his own spice to this feast.

He slowly raised his right hand, and an invisible domain, which only he could perceive, silently spread out from the Azure Dragon, instantly enveloping the battlefield within a radius of fifty meters.

"The Kingdom of Food!"

Within this domain, Rennes is the rule.

Those seemingly indestructible defensive walls, forged from special alloys, suddenly became as fragile as tofu in front of Gatz's anchor, easily shattered by his sweeping motion.

The air became as thick as soup, making the CP0 members, who were known for their speed, feel as if they were stuck in a quagmire, their movements slow and full of flaws.

Meanwhile, the members of the Rocks Pirates felt full of energy, as if they had just enjoyed a top-notch feast. Their fatigue was swept away, and their fighting spirit was even higher.

"What...what's going on? My body..."

A CP0 member was horrified to discover that his prized Shave was unable to activate, and the air beneath his feet was so thick that he could hardly move.

"Hahaha! These walls are as brittle as cookies!"

Gatz roared excitedly, feeling his strength increase once again.

This is the domain ability unlocked by Raine's unparalleled culinary skills, revealing its ferocity for the first time in actual combat.

It cannot cause direct harm, but it can change the laws of the entire battlefield in the most unreasonable way, tilting the scales of victory wildly in its own favor.

Raine stood at the center of the domain, calmly observing everything like a god in control.

He knew that because of his existence, this battle in the Holy Land would take a completely different turn from the original story.

The unfolding of the Kingdom of Food instantly changed the course of the entire battlefield.

The Navy and CP forces, who could have initially held their own against the Rocks Pirates by virtue of their numbers and terrain advantage, were now completely thrown into chaos and despair.

The fortified defenses were like paper before Gatz; every swing of his massive anchor stirred up a storm of rubble and screams.

Silver thrived in the viscous air, turning the CP0 members, whose speed was greatly reduced, into easy targets. With each thrust of his spear, a formidable enemy fell.

Dorum even drifted the Azure Dragon through the streets of Mary Geoise. The sturdy hull, enhanced by the Food Kingdom, became even more indestructible, smashing magnificent buildings to pieces. He even had the leisure to complain to Raine telepathically.

"Head chef, could you please not use your skills on the ship?! I feel like the keel is about to turn into noodles!"

At the highest point of the battlefield, the three generals also keenly sensed that something was amiss.

"My vines... have lost their vitality!"

Senrobach was horrified to discover that the incredibly resilient plants he had nurtured had become exceptionally fragile in the face of Newgate's shockwaves, and even their recovery speed was several times slower.

"Toxins in the air are being broken down!"

Ferdinand the Poison Dragon also let out an incredulous exclamation. His prized venom was completely burned away by Lingling's flames, as if it had met its nemesis.

Only Welt, with his pure and powerful Armament Haki and metallic body, was able to fight Rocks to a standstill.

But he also felt that his physical strength was being lost at an abnormal rate, as if he were in a huge field of hunger.

Chapter 86 The World's Most Dangerous Criminal!

"It's that chef!"

Walter's gaze pierced through the chaotic battlefield and locked onto the eerily calm child on the deck of the Azure Dragon.

"Get rid of him!"

He roared orders at the CP0 troops below.

However, this was all in vain.

"Hahaha! Walter, you dare to be distracted while fighting me?!"

Lockes seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and his offensive instantly became ferocious.

"Black Emperor - Starburst!"

He unleashed a punch imbued with all his domineering aura and gravity, slamming it fiercely into Walter's chest!

Walter hurriedly crossed his arms to block, his metallic arms covered with the highest level of Armament Haki.

Boom!

A deafening roar, incredibly muffled, came from where the two clashed, followed by countless bolts of black and red lightning.

Walter's proud steel defenses cracked like spiderwebs in the face of this punch. He was sent flying backward as if struck by a meteorite, spitting blood, and smashing a huge human-shaped hole in the Pangu City wall behind him.

"Gurarararar! It's over!"

Newgate seized the opportunity and pushed the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to its limit.

"Emperor Zhen!"

He unleashed both fists simultaneously, and two extremely condensed shockwaves, like invisible battering rams, completely shattered Senrobach's plant defenses and slammed into his body.

Senrobach let out a painful groan, his aged body flying out like a kite with a broken string, his life force rapidly fading away.

On the other side, Charlotte Linlin also got tired of playing around, and she commanded Prometheus and Zeus to merge into one.

"Heavenly Might - Thunderfire Cannon!"

A beam of light, a fusion of fire and lightning, and filled with an aura of destruction, engulfed the poisonous dragon Ferdinand head-on.

The three admirals, with the combined strength of the Rocks Pirates' three main fighters and the aid of the Rein Field, were defeated one after another in just a few minutes!

"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"

Seeing their strongest fighting force routed, the remaining navy and CP forces completely lost their will to fight and began to flee frantically into Pangaea City.

The Rocks Pirates did not give chase; their goal was not to occupy the Holy Land, but to establish their authority.

"Men, that's a wrap!"

Standing atop the ruins of Pangaea, looking down at the devastated holy land and the fleeing figures, Locust let out a domineering laugh that seemed to survey the world.

"Go back and tell those old fogies, the Five Elders, this is just an appetizer! Next time, I'll personally twist their heads off and use them as decorations for my throne!"

After saying that, the Rocks Pirates returned to the Azure Dragon.

Under the watchful eyes of countless terrified people, the massive black ship started up again, slowly ascended into the air, and finally disappeared into the clouds, leaving behind only a burning and devastated holy land, Mary Geoise.

The news spread like wildfire, faster than light, throughout the world.

[The Holy Land of Mary Geoise has been invaded by pirates, suffering heavy losses!]

[Two of the Navy's three admirals are dead and one is seriously injured! Steel-Walter succumbs to his wounds!]

The Rocks Pirates, the world's most notorious criminals!

When newspapers bearing these sensational headlines were disseminated worldwide via Newsbird, the entire world fell silent.

Countless people felt a chill run down their spines when they saw the photo in the newspaper of Rocks laughing maniacally amidst the ruins.

A man powerful enough to make the world tremble, he left his terror etched into everyone's hearts.

The immense threat posed by the Rocks Pirates was revealed to the world for the first time in the bloodiest and most undeniable way.

……

Mary Geoise, between powers.

The atmosphere was as heavy as ice that had stood for millennia.

Five elderly men, their auras as obscure as an abyss, sat around a round table, each with an unyielding gloom shrouding their faces.

"Walter...is dead."

The bald Five Elders, holding the first generation Kitetsu, spoke in a hoarse voice, breaking the deathly silence.

"Ferdinand and Bach were also seriously injured and will not be able to recover their combat power for at least one or two years. The high-end combat power of the Navy Headquarters has entered an unprecedented period of vacuum."

The Five Elders, with their long white beards, said in a deep voice, "Based on the reports sent back from the front lines by Sengoku and Garp, and combined with the analysis of the battle at the Holy Land, the Rocks Pirates' growth rate has completely exceeded our comprehension. In particular, that cook named Rein's domain ability is too bizarre, and he must be listed as the highest priority target for elimination!"

"Can't wait any longer."

The blond Five Elders slammed their fists on the table, their eyes filled with undisguised killing intent.

"Conventional encirclement and suppression have lost their meaning for them. We must resort to the final means, set a trap they cannot refuse, and wipe them out completely, along with all the threats posed by the D clan!"

"Contact the Knights of God and have them prepare."

The five elders, each wielding a knife, stood up, their eyes as cold as knives.

……

On the Azure Dragon, Renn was calmly wiping the kitchen utensils, his eyes deep as he looked out the window at the rapidly receding clouds.

He knew that after this battle, that legendary name would soon appear.

Valley of the Gods.

With his current abilities, he is no longer able to stop this fateful battle from happening.

All he could do was make the monsters on the ship as strong as possible before the final battle, strong enough to... change the predetermined outcome.

This time, there was no Golden Lion or Kaido on the ship, but there was an even more powerful and unfathomable version of myself.

The ending... is really hard to say.

The aftermath of the Battle of Mary Geoise was more devastating than any tsunami in history.

The name of the Rocks Pirates became the hottest topic in every tavern in the world, and also the most terrifying soothing spell for parents to use when their children cried at night.

Their bounties surged once again to astronomical levels, with Rocks' bounty even surpassing $5.5 billion, setting a record that is unprecedented and may never be repeated.

However, the Rocks Pirates, who were at the center of the storm, seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, disappearing without a trace.

The Azure Dragon is currently docked on an uninhabited sky island located on the edge of the New World, which is not recorded on any sea chart.

The enormous island is like a piece of emerald floating ten thousand meters in the sky, with a sea of ​​clouds rolling below, isolating it from all the disturbances of the world.

This is a secret supply point that Raine found based on the Sky Island's exclusive ingredient guide, and it is also their only safe haven during this monstrous wave.

Dorum is directing a group of cloud craftsmen, hired from the sky islands and skilled in repairing shell ships, to mend the damage left on the Azure Dragon in the Battle of Mary Geoise.

He tenderly stroked the newly added scratches on the ship's hull, while simultaneously boasting to the islanders about the ship's glorious achievements. His conflicted expression was both amusing and exasperating.

Chapter 87 Farewell Banquet

Gatz then became friends with the strongest warrior on the sky island, Sky Knight Gang Fall, after a series of misunderstandings.

The two spent their days either honing their marksmanship and anchoring skills, or competing to see who could eat more of the Sky Island's specialty, Cloud Fox Roasted Meat. Their hearty laughter often echoed across the vast Sky Island.

Charlotte Linlin was like a mouse that had fallen into a rice jar. She discovered that everything on the Sky Island, whether it was the clouds, the land, or the plants, had a peculiar, sweet smell.

Under Raine's guidance, she even learned to use her abilities to imbue the cloud earth with a soul, creating a living cotton candy that could walk on its own, which she played with every day.

Silver, however, became fascinated by the thin air and unpredictable air currents of the Sky Island, where he practiced more advanced stealth techniques.

Sometimes he would just stand quietly on the sea of ​​clouds, as if he had become one with the clouds and mist, making it difficult for even Newgate's Observation Haki to detect him.

Meanwhile, the two most leisurely guys, Lox and Newgate, moved their deck chairs to the edge of the sky island, each with a glass of fruit wine made by Raine with cloud dew, looking down at the mortal world below.
