Chapter 74: God Valley! The World's Powerhouses Gather Together! (1)
The Grand Line, God Valley!
At this moment, a murderous atmosphere permeated God Valley everywhere.
In the center of God Valley stood a magnificent palace of indescribable nobility!
The entire structure was built from extremely precious and hard gemstones!
It was inlaid with countless gold and jewels!
Named [Emerald City]!
Under the sunlight, the [Emerald City] radiated brilliance. Anyone who saw it couldn't help but marvel at the greatness of such craftsmanship!
This place, similar to the Holy Land Mary Geoise, was considered another "palace" for the Celestial Dragons!
After all, this was the gathering place for the 20 Kings 800 years ago!
It was from here that the 20 Kings founded the great "World Government"!
To commemorate this, God Valley was transformed by later generations of Celestial Dragons into another "Holy Land"!
Today, God Valley was incredibly lively!
Powerhouses from various departments of the World Government had received orders from the Five Elders!
They were all heading to God Valley one after another!
Currently, only four of the Five Elders remained. These four were all Admiral-level powerhouses!
Their status was the most noble, standing proudly at the center position—
The most prominent spot in the crowd!
Flanking these four were the imposing Commander-in-Chief of the Three Forces and the mask-wearing CP0 Chief!
Both were around 3 meters tall, imposing and unmovable as mountains!
One resolute, one fierce!
Just by looking at the aura emanating from these two, one could tell they were genuine Admiral-level powerhouses!
Flanking the Commander-in-Chief on one side were the Marines!
Led by Steel Bone Kong, the four Admiral-level powerhouses—Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr—were all present!
High-spirited and vigorous!
Beside the Marines.
The Admiral-level powerhouses of the Air Force and Army had also arrived at the scene!
Both were imposing and dignified!
Following them were Vice Admiral Tsuru, Elite Vice Admirals, Giant Vice Admirals, and other outstanding figures among the Vice Admirals.
"Arara! What a grand scene."
"This is the power of Justice!"
"Ooh~ So scary~!"
Seeing this magnificent scene, the future Three Admirals also felt a bit intimidated.
On the other side, beside the CP0 Chief!
Stood the Warden and Vice Warden of Impel Down wearing special uniforms, First-Class Elite Jailers, and Awakened Jailer Beasts!
Then came CP9 from Enies Lobby, and the war weapons of the Science Unit—
A group of giant children over 10 meters tall, totaling several hundred!
These were researches the World Government had started since eight hundred years ago!
They were currently semi-finished products, but to destroy the Rocks Pirates, they couldn't care so much!
Beyond these people were the top experts from the World Government's 180 Allied Nations!
Among them, there were also Admiral-level powerhouses!
Such a terrifying lineup was suffocating just by looking at it!
After all, just the Admiral-level powerhouses numbered in the double digits!
In addition, there were Elite Vice Admirals, Giant Vice Admirals, and various Vice Admiral-level experts totaling nearly a hundred!
Plus 100,000 elite soldiers drawn from Marine bases worldwide!
Besides these, hidden around God Valley.
Were famous great pirates like Redfield, Chinjao, and Byrnndi World, ready to seize any opportunity!
Upon seeing today's lineup, these great pirates also gasped!
Too terrifying!
The World Government's foundation was simply too terrifying!
Using the power of the whole world to besiege the Rocks Pirates!
They might not even need to lift a finger!
The Rocks Pirates were doomed!
With such a formidable lineup, the World Government had used almost all its resources!
After all, today's main event was the quadrennial God Valley Sacrificial Ceremony!
According to regulations, all adult Celestial Dragons from the Holy Land Mary Geoise had to participate!
Thus, nearly 2,000 Celestial Dragons from 19 families arrived in grand fashion!
Due to the Celestial Dragons' emphasis on bloodline, only children born from intermarriage within the 19 families were considered purebred Celestial Dragons.
As for children born from unions with commoners, they were not considered purebred Celestial Dragons but sinners who polluted the "divine" bloodline!
Therefore, after eight hundred years, the 19 Celestial Dragon families currently only had a little over 2,000 adults.
Compared to the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty, which multiplied to hundreds of thousands over more than two hundred years, the difference was vast!
Due to excessive intermarriage, inbreeding became increasingly common.
Resulting in the Celestial Dragons' appearances becoming ugly, with various grotesque looks emerging endlessly.
Children born also frequently died young.
This led most Celestial Dragons, besides taking a female Celestial Dragon as their main wife, to be willing to find a few beautiful slaves to play with.
Although 2,000 Celestial Dragons might seem few.
But adding each Celestial Dragon's slaves, the number was quite considerable!
The vast crowd of Celestial Dragons plus slaves numbered at least 20,000 to 30,000!
"Look! Riding this giant slave is so comfortable!"
One Celestial Dragon boasted to others.
"Hmph, I have several top-quality beautiful slaves here!"
Another Celestial Dragon said unconvinced.
"Not bad! Truly top-quality beauties! Even better looking than my beautiful slaves!"
"Hehe, lend me these top-quality beautiful slaves after the sacrificial ritual is over!"
Another Celestial Dragon's eyes lit up upon seeing the beautiful slaves.
"Sure, then lend me your top-quality handsome male slaves; I've been eyeing them for a long time!"
"Okay! We can just swap! I'm tired of playing with those few!"
"Hehe, so exciting! Let's finish the sacrificial ritual quickly! I'm staying in Emerald City tonight!"
"Okay, okay, let's finish the sacrificial ritual quickly; I'm getting hungry and thirsty."
A group of Celestial Dragons was walking towards the altar on Emerald City.
Meanwhile, they didn't forget to exchange such obscene and lewd remarks.
The handsome male and beautiful female slaves who heard these exchanges were trembling.
They knew the terrifying methods of the Celestial Dragons well.
After this sacrificial ritual ended, who knew what inhuman torture they would suffer!
Several handsome male and beautiful female slaves with poor psychological quality fainted directly from fright!
"Someone fainted!"
Gasps came from the crowd!
"Just a few lowly slaves!"
Seeing that it was slaves who fainted, everyone immediately expressed disdain.
"Damn it! Embarrassing me!"
"Someone come, throw these fainted slaves into the altar!"
Seeing his own slaves faint, this Celestial Dragon flew into a rage!
After all, with so many Celestial Dragons present, they would compare slaves with each other.
The Celestial Dragons beside him even had mocking expressions on their faces, as if saying "Your slaves are nothing special."
Enraged, this Celestial Dragon ordered the group to be thrown onto the altar at the highest point of Emerald City immediately!
At this time, a raging holy fire was burning on the altar!
Soon, receiving the Celestial Dragon's order.
Several men in black sunglasses, black suits, and all black threw the fainted slaves into the holy fire!
