Chapter 221: Heading to the Inner Sea of God Valley; the Outer Sea is controlled by six great mons
Chapter 221 Heading to the Inner Sea of the Valley of Gods; the Outer Sea is controlled by the Six Great Demon Girls.
As that dark purple gravitational pull completely tore the sea apart, the inner sea channel of the Valley of the Gods, like a huge wound forcibly opened by the gods, lay naked before the world, revealing the jagged rocks and terrified sea fish below.
Rocks stood proudly atop the ram of his flagship, the Sword of Gibbeck. His wild, black hair swayed wildly like snakes under the surge of his domineering aura, each strand seemingly drawing tremors from the surrounding space. His eyes, filled with extreme violence and ambition, now pierced through the smoke of battle, locking onto the golden altar at the center of the island, a symbol of the world's highest power, bathed in the setting sun.
"Treasure, divine authority, and the lives of those fat pigs—all lie ahead!" Rocks' voice, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, rolled across the brutal battlefield like a thunderclap. "The top officials, send half your forces to guard this path of survival. The rest of you, come with me and charge in, tearing the sky apart!"
With this command, the Rocks Pirates, this terrifying war machine, revealed its ferocious yet efficient side. The pirate army, which originally seemed scattered and each with its own ulterior motives, became so uniform and chilling under the absolute will of Rocks.
The pirates, led by their four top officers—Brian of the Beasts, Edward Newgate the Whitebeard, Shiki the Golden Lion, and Charlotte Linlin—understood each other instantly. As masters of the high seas, they possessed not only overwhelming force but also an extremely keen battlefield intuition.
At this point, the defenses of God Valley had indeed shown a fatal weakness.
Originally one of the core defensive forces, Sengoku was being relentlessly entangled by Shiki's frenzied attacks. Shiki's twin swords continuously unleashed golden sword energy that cleaved through the clouds, and with the help of the Float-Float Fruit manipulating the meteorites, he forcefully guided Sengoku's golden Buddha statue little by little towards the Valley of the Gods. The collision of the two top-tier forces caused black and red cracks to continuously appear in the sky.
Meanwhile, Garp, another top-tier combatant in the Navy, was sent flying into the God Valley Inner Sea by Rocks' earth-shattering punch, instantly stirring up a cloud of dust.
However, this apparent "advantage" did not cloud Rocks' judgment. He knew very well that the situation outside God Valley was still extremely perilous. Although Sengoku and Garp had been lured away there, the Navy's war prowess could not be shaken overnight.
Looking out over the open sea, dozens of top-tier naval battleships, equipped with luxurious features, specially made seastone rams, and heavy armor-piercing guns, still roared into action. They formed a dense array, blocking off the surrounding waters like a steel forest.
More than a dozen distinguished naval vice admirals, covered in blood, stood at the bow of the ship, directing the remaining tens of thousands of elite marines in their resistance.
Although these marines trembled under Rocks's oppressive presence, inspired by their rank and the banner of justice, they continued to frantically load cannons, preparing to turn this sea area into a graveyard for pirates.
Rocks's deep gaze saw through every corner of the entire battle. If he were to be greedy and reckless, leading everyone headlong into the God Valley Inland Sea, he might be able to wipe out the Celestial Dragons in a short time, but he would completely expose his back to the cannons of the outer sea navy.
At that time, as long as Sengoku and Garp can hold off the main force in the Inland Sea, once the Navy's encirclement in the Outer Sea is completed, the Rocks Pirates will be in a hopeless situation with the World Government's defense forces blocking them from the front and the Navy's main force attacking them from the rear.
Although Rocks was crazy, he was not a brainless pirate. His many years as a pirate had taught him that he should always have a backup plan.
"You want to take my life? You're still too green!" Rocks sneered, his wide, dark red cloak billowing as he swung it around.
Under this extremely calm yet extremely arrogant consideration, Rocks made the most prudent and ruthless choice. As a result, he ultimately chose to leave most of the main force of the Rocks Pirates and even some of their pirate ships behind in the open sea.
Their mission was singular: to destroy those dozens of naval warships at any cost, completely shattering the backbone of the navy in the open sea. This was not merely to provide a safe retreat for the attacking forces, but also so that, after the war ended, they could calmly leave this blood-stained ruin with the divine power and wealth they had plundered.
It is worth noting that, since the top combatants of the four executives, apart from Brian, were eager to break into the Inland Sea or restrain the admirals' combat power, the strongest of the three executives' subordinates who remained behind were only a few well-known pirate vice admirals. Although there were quite a few of them, they were still somewhat weak when facing more than a dozen marine vice admirals.
Fortunately, Brian, also a high-ranking official, had a more ruthless and chilling plan, which was also quite secure.
Brian stood quietly on the ram of his pirate ship, letting the sea breeze, carrying the smell of gunpowder and blood, tousle his black hair. Unlike Newgate or Linlin, he did not rush into the inner sea along the bloody path opened up by Rocks to seize the first wave of merit.
In the shadows behind him, pupils exuding an ancient aura slowly opened, their pupils pulsating with a violence and majesty that did not belong to this era.
As a time traveler who had read the original work and crossed time and space, Brian understood the brutality of the God Valley War better than anyone else. In the eyes of ordinary people, this might just be a clash between pirates and the World Government, but in his eyes, it was a mass grave from the old era.
During this year of infiltration and conquest, Brian, with his precise grasp of the future, has quietly swayed the strings of fate and done many things that are enough to completely collapse the original history.
His proudest achievement was the early elimination of the Roger Pirates, although that elimination was somewhat coincidental.
In the vague account in the original work, Roger was supposed to join forces with Garp today to bury the once invincible overlord Rocks. However, in this life, Roger is probably still licking his wounds in some corner of the world, or perhaps he has long since disappeared without a trace.
Months ago, Brian personally led his monster girl army to intercept the Roger Pirates at their peak. In that battle, Brian displayed a dominance that was beyond the comprehension of his time.
Ultimately, the Roger Pirates, who were about to become the number one pirate in the original story, almost completely collapsed. Apart from Roger himself escaping death, the core fighting force of the entire group was almost wiped out.
The legendary "Pluto" Rayleigh and "Bronze Medal" Jabba were crippled in the war. Although they survived, they could no longer participate in the final game that determined the fate of the world.
In the original story, the God Valley battle was supposed to be the classic stage where the Roger Pirates made their name.
In particular, regarding Shakky, the former empress of Amazon Lily, according to the original trajectory, she was secretly captured by the Celestial Dragons' search party and released into the forest of God Valley as the top "prey" in the hunting competition.
Rayleigh, on that bloody night, should have broken through the encirclement with Roger, staging a romantic epic of heroism and damsel in distress amidst the enemy ranks.
But now, that beautiful story that should have been sung about the ocean has been completely torn apart by Brian's cold, hard hands.
"Save people? Rayleigh probably doesn't even have the strength to pick up a knife right now."
97
"That kind of plot breakdown is what makes it so enjoyable."
Brian murmured softly, his eyes showing no pity.
Without the Roger Pirates, the most important variable, and especially with Rayleigh's appearance, Shakky's life will naturally undergo a huge change at this moment, taking a direction very different from the original story.
It is precisely because of Roger's absence that the intensity of the war in God Valley in this life has completely spiraled out of control. Rocks, now without checks and balances, has become even more frenzied, and the World Government's defenses have become even more precarious.
Brian glanced down at the slightly trembling deck beneath his feet. To him, the rise and fall of this sea was not important. The only thing he cared about was the monster girls behind him, whom he regarded as treasures.
In this era where human life is treated like dirt, every monster girl is an invaluable asset, the foundation upon which he stands in this world. Therefore, he will never allow these treasures to suffer even the slightest sacrifice in this pointless war of attrition in God Valley.
The legion he brought this time was the elite of the elite; not a single one was a common soldier just there to make up the numbers.
To ensure everything went smoothly, he had already completed his strategic plan before setting off. All ten ordinary monster girls he had gathered under his command had already been sent to Fishman Island, 10,000 meters deep in the ocean.
There, under the personal command of the Mythical Zoan-type monster girl, Griffin, who possesses not only aerial dominance capable of dominating the deep sea, but also exceptional leadership skills, ten experienced monster girls of ordinary blood have completely taken over the defense of Fish-Man Island, guarding the only vital passage connecting the New World and the first half of the Grand Line.
Brian knew very well that after the God Valley War, regardless of whether Rocks won or lost, the world would face decades of chaos, and his Fishman Island fortress would become the only safe haven in this chaotic world, as well as the most important piece of his future blueprint for a vast power.
As long as Griffin is there, no matter how chaotic God Valley becomes, or how chaotic the world becomes afterward, Griffin can handle it, and Fishman Island won't descend into chaos.
"Leona, Agni, I'm leaving this to you."
Brian's voice was calm and cold. He never looked back at the killing field behind him. He simply waved his hand and issued a death sentence that sounded like a divine decree: "Do not let any navy officer who tries to disturb my interest get away. Turn this sea into their graveyard."
"Yes, Master."
With two crisp, chilling responses, two terrifying pressures, powerful enough to shake the heavens and earth and tear apart the atmosphere, suddenly descended.
Da da da!
The centaur Leona leaped off the bow of the ship, her agile and explosive hooves treading on the ripples of the sea as if walking on flat ground the moment they touched the surface.
Unlike other pirates who roar and scream, she gracefully drew a specially made black and gold arrow from the heavy alloy bow on her back, powerful enough to pierce a small island.
"The master said this road is blocked."
Leona's voice was as cold as ice. As she drew back the bowstring, the howling sea breeze was forcibly sucked away in that instant. Golden Armament Haki, as if alive, frantically coiled around the arrowhead along her slender yet powerful fingertips. The thunderous sound of the bowstring piercing the air shook the atmosphere within a kilometer radius as it was stretched to its limit.
collapse-!
In that instant, the golden arrow transformed into a streak of light tearing through the darkness, colliding head-on with a naval vanguard warship attempting to break through. Under the horrified gazes of all the navy personnel, the arrow completely ignored the ship's proud, specially made iron armor, piercing through from bow to stern, and then triggering a devastating explosion.
On the other side, the Fire Rat Girl Agni had transformed into a crimson, extremely hot fireball and charged into the enemy ranks. With each leap of her petite body, she left a trail of lava on the sea surface that could not be extinguished for a long time.
"The smell of burning is the true color of justice."
Agni chuckled, flicking her slender fingers through the air, sending countless sparks of fire rat fur, powerful enough to melt steel, flying everywhere. The charging marines didn't even feel the heat before they were vaporized into nothingness along with their weapons in the blink of an eye.
The two mythical beast-type monster girls casually unleashed a wave of attacks, creating an unfathomable sense of oppression that caused the naval formation, which had been roaring and trying to regain control of the shipping lanes, to momentarily freeze in shock.
Those usually brave vice admirals instinctively felt the urge to back away when they met Leona and Agni's emotionless eyes.
Brian nodded in satisfaction. In order to completely stabilize the situation in the outer sea and prevent the navy from encircling them, he left a total of six monster girls in the outer sea.
Besides Leona and Agni, two top-tier fighters with the strength of admiral candidates, there are four extremely powerful ancient monster girls. These six, working together with the Rocks Pirates' elite pirates who harbor ulterior motives but possess considerable combat power, are enough to build an iron wall in the open sea that would leave the Navy in despair.
After the six men disembarked safely and entered the battlefield, the "King of Beasts," where Brian was, began to roar again.
As if sensing its master's will, the massive beast-headed warship slowly started up, cutting a white trail through the surging seawater.
Brian stood at the bow of the ship, with the remaining eight mythical beast-type monster girls behind him. Some of them were tidying up their blood-stained wings, while others were gently wiping the sharp blades in their hands. Each of them exuded an aura that was completely out of place with the surrounding battlefield, yet they were so powerful that it inspired despair.
"Let's go see what these so-called Celestial Dragons actually look like."
With a soft laugh from Brian, the warship carrying the core monster girl squad that struck fear into the hearts of the World Government transformed into a streak of black light, speeding towards the God Valley Inner Sea along the "Blood Path of the Underworld" opened by Rocks.
Behind him, Leona's javelin had pierced the keel of a naval battleship, while Agni's flames dyed the entire sea a despairing orange-red.
In the inland sea of God Valley, on that isolated island symbolizing supreme authority, the judge is drawing ever closer.
Brian watched the rising smoke ahead, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes.
Roger is gone, and history has changed beyond recognition. Therefore, he shall write the ending of this grand drama himself.
