The third dish was for Dolum. It was a plain-looking biscuit made from the powder of the hardest iron-ore cloud on the sky island, mixed with the "rice of the gods." It contained the "Soul of Fortitude." Dolum took a bite. With a loud CRUNCH, he felt like he had nearly broken a tooth, but then a thick energy flowed through his body. He tapped his chest, and it made a metallic clang. He felt that he was now the second keel of the Azure Dragon.
The fourth dish was for Charlotte Linlin. It was a huge cake made from thousands of the sky island's unique rainbow fruits, which contained different emotional energies. Ren had infused it with the "Soul of Balance." After eating it, Linlin, instead of falling into her usual obsession with a single delicious taste, felt her complex and chaotic soul power being sorted out by a gentle force. Prometheus and Zeus above her head were no longer just simple flames and lightning, but had faintly transformed into the shapes of armor and weapons. Their power had become more condensed and controllable.
The fifth dish was for Newgate. It was a thick soup simmered from the roots of the legendary Tree of Life on the sky island. The soup was as mellow as jade, and it contained the "Soul of Guardianship." After drinking it, Newgate felt that the power of his Tremor-Tremor Fruit was no longer just about destruction, but had gained a hint of resilience. He could feel that while shattering everything, he could also use the power of vibration to create an insurmountable protective barrier for the family behind him.
And finally, for Rocks. It was a glass of wine. A glass of deep black and red wine, brewed from the thousand-year-old "marrow in the clouds" and a drop of Ren's own blood. It contained Ren's most direct understanding of the man Rocks—the "Soul of the Hegemon." Rocks drained the wine in one gulp. In that instant, he felt that his Conqueror's Haki was no longer just a simple pressure, but had transformed into an absolute domain that could swallow and distort everything. Within the domain, he was the king, he was the law!
This feast had allowed every member of the Rocks Pirates to undergo an ultimate, bone-deep transformation. Ren looked at the satisfied crowd, then at his rapidly increasing experience bar and his nearly depleted Culinary Points from cooking several top-tier dishes infused with the "Soul of the Feast." A faint smile appeared on his calm face. He had done everything he could. The rest was up to fate.
"Wahahahaha! Awesome! That was so awesome!" Rocks felt the unprecedented, all-controlling power within him and let out a world-scorning, wild laugh. "Alright, boys! We've eaten and drunk our fill!" His gaze swept over every crew member, whose auras were now surging, their will to fight boiling. His voice was as loud as a bell. "Hoist the sails! Set course!"
"Our next target—God Valley!"
"OOOH!"
Amid the sky-shaking cheers, the newly repaired Azure Dragon let out a loud dragon's roar. From ten thousand meters above the sea of clouds, like a black meteor, it resolutely dived toward the fateful land that was destined to go down in the annals of history.
And on the other side of the New World, on a pirate ship made from the Treasure Tree Adam, with a grinning lion as its figurehead, a man wearing a straw hat with an incredibly confident smile on his face was looking at a secret invitation from the World Government in his hand. He said to the man with shoulder-length blond hair and glasses beside him, "Rayleigh, looks like we have to make a trip."
"Roger, are you sure? This is clearly a conspiracy by the World Government."
"Wahahaha! So what? I can smell it. The strongest liquor is there, and... an opponent I must surpass!" The flames of freedom, in no way inferior to Rocks's, burned in Gol D. Roger's eyes.
A huge storm, which had swept up the world's top combatants, was about to collide violently on the island called God Valley.
God Valley. An island located deep in the New World, usually unknown and not even marked on most sea charts. However, today, this island had become the focus of the entire world. The island had beautiful scenery, with lush green trees. In the center was an open plain, with rolling mountains in the distance. It looked like a paradise, isolated from the world. But at this moment, an undercurrent was surging beneath this tranquility. The air was filled with an oppressive atmosphere, like the calm before a storm.
The island's harbor had long been completely blockaded by a massive Marine fleet. Dozens of warships were like a steel Great Wall, surrounding the entire island. On the deck of every warship stood elite marines armed to the teeth. The black muzzles of their cannons were all pointed outward, as if waiting for the arrival of some terrifying giant beast.
Monkey D. Garp was standing at the bow of the flagship, munching on rice crackers. He was just wearing a simple white tank top, but his eyes, which occasionally flashed with a sharp light, contained a terrifying power that could make the sea tremble. "Garp, are we really going to team up with that Roger? He's a pirate!" "Great Staff Officer" Sengoku stood beside him, a hint of confusion and gravity on his face.
"Wahahaha! Can't be helped, Sengoku," Garp said, stuffing the last piece of cracker into his mouth and patting the crumbs off his hands. "To deal with a monster like Rocks, the Marines alone would suffer a lot of casualties. It's not a bad idea to borrow the power of a pirate once in a while." His tone was relaxed, but his eyes were more serious than ever before.
And on the other side of the island, a magnificent, huge cruise ship with the flag of the Celestial Dragons was slowly docking. A few World Nobles, wearing their bubble helmets and arrogant expressions, walked off the ship under the protection of the Holy Knights. They were the most important, and also the most fragile, bait in this hunt.
Further out at sea, a pirate ship with a lion as its figurehead, the Oro Jackson, was quietly anchored outside the Marine fleet's encirclement, maintaining a delicate distance from them. Its captain, Gol D. Roger, stood at the bow with his arms crossed, looking in the direction of God Valley, his face filled with undisguised excitement and anticipation. "Rayleigh, from which direction do you think that guy Rocks will come?"
"Who knows. But the main character of this party should be making his entrance soon," Rayleigh said calmly, pushing up his glasses.
Just then, the distant sky suddenly darkened. A huge, cloud-like shadow was pressing in from the horizon at an incredible speed, accompanied by a low rumble, like the roar of a giant dragon.
"They're here!" Garp's gaze instantly sharpened. He clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking. All the cannon muzzles of the Marine fleet instantly raised, aiming at the shadow in the sky. The shadow got closer and closer, finally revealing its true form. It was the Azure Dragon!
