"Reynolds! You are not leaving God Valley alive today!!"
Saint Garling roared, once again coordinating with the other two Knights to encircle Reynolds.
"You should worry more about yourselves," Reynolds replied indifferently with a playful smile.
As he spoke, he swung Zhanhai toward Saint Garling. Not to be outdone, Garling swung his own blade in return.
In the next second, a shocking scene unfolded. Although their blades were still a distance apart and hadn't touched, the space between them erupted with countless dark red lightning bolts. Like venomous snakes, they slithered and pierced through the air, emitting a sizzling sound.
Affected by this terrifying power, the ground within a hundred-meter radius collapsed inch by inch, massive cracks spreading rapidly.
Gale-force winds whipped up in the sky as dark clouds gathered.
The other two Knights didn't stand idle. In a battle between top-tier powerhouses, victory or defeat could be decided in a single breath.
This was the best chance to eliminate Reynolds.
The rifle-wielding Knight, specializing in long-range attacks, seized the moment to pull the trigger. Bullets capable of easily piercing Armament Haki defenses shot through the air, flying toward Reynolds' head.
Meanwhile, the Knight heavily injured by Reynolds endured the pain, clenched his left fist, and punched directly at Reynolds' face.
They didn't strike often, but when they did, they aimed to kill with a single blow!
"I was waiting for you two."
"Thunder Dragons, Go!!"
Roar!
Roar!
Two roars echoed in succession as two silver lightning dragons surged out of Reynolds' body. Their massive bodies, tens of meters long, coiled and wound through the air, flashing with lightning!
The two lightning dragons opened their crimson eyes, locked instantly onto the two God's Knights, and charged furiously at them.
"Damn it!!"
Both cursed inwardly. Forced to abandon their attack on Reynolds, they had to defend against the power of the lightning dragons.
Reynolds glanced at them briefly before withdrawing his gaze. He knew perfectly well that such a move couldn't truly threaten them; it could only delay them for a moment.
But a moment was all he needed!
"Sovereignty!!" (Ikoku)
Reynolds raised Zhanhai high. Terrifying power gathered frantically. Advanced Armament Haki (Ryuo) and Conqueror's infusion flowed like liquid, wrapping around Zhanhai's blade until it was completely dyed red.
"Not good!"
Sensing the surging power around Reynolds, Saint Garling's pupils constricted, his eyelids twitching.
"Sovereignty is Reynolds' strongest move—a combination of Great Swordsmanship and dual Haki infusion..."
The combat report on Reynolds instantly flashed through Garling's mind. In the battle between Rocks and Reynolds, Rocks had been defeated by this very move.
He absolutely could not underestimate it!
Saint Garling reacted instantly, swinging his famous blade with his right hand. In less than half a breath, a crescent moon appeared out of thin air in front of him—shaped just like his ridiculous hairstyle.
Terrifying sword light flickered and condensed as the crescent moon fully formed. It carried an aura of fear-inducing dread. As the Supreme Commander of the God's Knights, how could he not have his own tricks?!
"Reynolds! Die!!"
"Moon Wheel: Strangulation!!"
Garling shouted low, slashing out!
Facing this terrifying attack, the corners of Reynolds' mouth lifted slightly. He cast an imperceptible glance in another direction.
In the next second.
"Divine Lightning Beam!!"
"Future Sight Killer!!"
"Sovereignty!!!"
In an instant, he completed three actions!
Lightning encircled him, rapidly compressing and condensing into a massive energy cannon that met Saint Garling's attack head-on.
Simultaneously, Reynolds used Future Sight Killer to shatter the Observation Haki of the largest God's Knight—the one with the dangling right arm.
Finally, he swung his fully charged Sovereignty directly at him.
The battle had just begun. Neither he nor Garling had used their full strength yet. Trying to kill a peak-condition Garling in one move was impossible.
But that other guy was different. He was already huge, heavily injured, and now had his Observation Haki sealed. In that instant, he was no different from a blind cripple. It was the perfect opportunity to eliminate him.
After releasing Sovereignty, Reynolds flashed with lightning and teleported away from his spot instantly.
A split second later, a sharp slash cut through the space where he had just stood.
It was Saint Garling's Moon Wheel: Strangulation!
But it was a fraction too slow. The slash cut through the air and flew into the distance, slicing a mountain peak in half.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye.
"No! Dodge it, quickly!!"
The Knight who had just disentangled herself from the lightning dragon heard Saint Garling's shout.
But it was too late.
In the next second, a dark red energy cannon—riding with the image of the Grim Reaper—expanded relentlessly in the injured Knight's pupils.
In fact, the energy blast had already pierced through his body before his brain could even signal him to move. His entire abdomen vanished completely.
With its momentum unchecked, the blast roared toward the distant battlefield.
The second his body was pierced, the Knight's eyes widened instinctively. His ears were flooded with a chaotic noise. At that moment, he felt like an outsider, no longer part of this battlefield.
Slowly, he felt his body turn cold as his life force drained away rapidly.
"Bastard!!!"
Saint Garling cursed in rage, rushing to the man's side instantly.
Looking at the gaping hole in his abdomen and the missing organs, even he couldn't bear the sight, turning his head away involuntarily.
"B-Boss... k-kill... kill me... quick..."
Though he had suffered a fatal blow, given their monstrous constitutions, he wouldn't die immediately. But right now, every second of survival was hellish torture.
"B-Boss... p-please..."
The agonizing pleas ringing in his ears made Saint Garling's expression shift painfully.But soon, he made a grim resolve.
He slammed his palm down onto the member's head, and the broken, gasping sounds vanished completely.
Along with them, the life of the God's Knight was extinguished!
"Reynolds!!!"
Setting aside the broken body of his subordinate, Saint Garling erupted with an unprecedented killing intent!
The killing intent solidified, soaring into the sky and seeming to tear the heavens apart!
This shocking scene caused everyone on the battlefield to glance over. They didn't know why Garling had suddenly gone mad, but they understood quickly enough.
"Holy shit! Reynolds killed a member of the God's Knights?!"
"No wonder Garling's going crazy."
"Are we actually going to lose to these pirates today?!"
"Bwahahahaha... As expected of Reynolds! Beautifully done!"
"That's right! Kill all these Celestial Dragons!"
The pirates cheered loudly upon seeing this, their morale skyrocketing! Who cared if they were Celestial Dragons? Who cared if they were God's Knights?! Before Reynolds, they still died like dogs!
"Bwahahahaha... Reynolds! Not bad at all!!"
"Once I kill Garp and Roger, I'll come help you!!"
In the distance, Rocks roared with laughter.
Reynolds was Reynolds after all. To kill an Admiral-level powerhouse in such a short time—he truly lived up to being the man who had once defeated him.
"Rocks! You'd better worry about yourself! Today is the day you die!!"
Garp shouted, raising his iron fist and closing in, smashing directly at Rocks' face.
Roger flanked from the side, swinging Ace relentlessly, casually unleashing flying slashes capable of annihilating powerful warriors.
The strength of Garp and Roger was leagues above those ordinary God's Knights.
Among the many powerhouses present, strength could be roughly divided into tiers:
Tier 1: Reynolds, Rocks.
Tier 2: Roger, Garp, Linlin, Saint Garling, Whitebeard, Shiki.
Tier 3: Kong, Sengoku, Flame Flower, Rayleigh, Gaban, Captain John, and the other God's Knights. (There might be gaps within this tier, but the strong didn't reach Tier 2, and the weak didn't fall to the next tier.)
"Bwahahahaha... The day I die?!!"
"Roger! I actually had high hopes for you, but you insisted on helping these bastards stop me. Since that's the case, you can die along with Garp!!"
"Sonic Wave: Missile!!"
Rocks roared, opening his mouth. Massive sound energy formed a laser cannon with astonishing penetration power, blasting directly toward Garp and Roger.
Garp swung his iron fist, blocking the laser cannon head-on with brute force.
Roger unleashed a blood-red flying slash, neutralizing the attack in mid-air.
"Hahahaha... Rocks! You dare show off such cheap tricks in front of us?!!"
"You are destined to lose today!"
Garp and Roger exchanged a glance of perfect understanding. Though enemies, they were also friends; a single look was enough to know each other's thoughts.
It was true love, without a doubt!
After blocking the attack, Garp leaped into the air.
Looking down at Rocks from above, Garp grinned slowly, a majestic aura erupting from his body.
Everyone looked up, and the Marine officers couldn't help but exclaim.
"Vice Admiral Garp! It's Vice Admiral Garp!" "Is he going to use that move?!" "Vice Admiral Garp! Crush Rocks!!"
"Shut the hell up and worry about yourselves!"
Seeing the Marines distracted, the pirates swarmed forward, hacking wildly.
High in the sky, Garp's eyes were blood-red as he stared fixedly at Rocks below. The space above was filled with black lightning erupting from his body. The already gray sky turned completely dark; the world lost its color.
Just one look was enough to make one's hair stand on end in terror.
"Bwahahaha... Rocks! Take this!"
"Fist Bone: Impact!!" (Galaxy Impact)
Garp laughed loudly, channeling all his strength and Haki into his iron fist.
Roger wasn't idle either. With that single exchanged glance, he knew exactly what Garp intended to do.
Phew—
Glancing at the massive commotion Garp was causing above, Roger exhaled a breath of turbid air.
He muttered in a low voice:
"Rocks, it's time to end this war."
Boom!
As his voice fell, Conqueror's Haki surged out like a volcanic eruption, dark red currents instantly wrapping around his entire body.
Stomping his right foot, the ground shattered, and Roger shot toward Rocks like an arrow released from a bow string.
"Divine Departure!!!" (Kamusari)
unparalleled sword intent soared into the sky!
In an instant, the sky was torn apart, stretching endlessly into the horizon.
Everyone who had just looked away was shocked beyond belief once more!
"Captain! It's the Captain making his move!!"
"Hahahaha! I haven't seen the Captain use that move in a long time!"
"The Captain's Divine Departure and Garp's Fist Bone: Impact... both are terrifying moves. I don't believe Rocks can block them!"
"Damn it! Are these two really that strong?!"
"Boss Rocks... he'll be fine, right?!"
At this moment, time seemed to freeze. Everyone on God Valley was captivated by Garp and Roger's overwhelming offensive.
Beyond the sheer spectacle, they wanted to know if Rocks could withstand it.
Everyone knew in their hearts that Rocks was the main character of God Valley today!
If Rocks won, tens of thousands of pirates would be unstoppable, the World Government would fall, and the seas would have a new master.
But if Rocks lost, there was no point in continuing the battles on the other fronts. If even the boss lost, their so-called persistence was nothing more than an ant trying to shake a tree.
Garp and Roger moved in sync, shooting toward Rocks almost simultaneously.
"Garp! Roger!!!"
Rocks' face was twisted, spitting out cold words.
Danger! Extreme danger!
That was Rocks' first instinct. He felt a threat to his life!
Moreover, he was firmly locked on by Garp and Roger's Observation Haki; dodging was impossible.
"Hehehehe... Since I can't dodge, then I won't!"
"Let me show you all what true terror looks like!"
"One-Sword Style: Sonic Boom Cutter!!"
Rocks roared, controlling the sound power, concentrating it highly until it slowly condensed into the phantom of a sword in front of him.
While using the Sound-Sound Fruit's power, high-density Armament Haki and tyrannical Conqueror's Haki followed closely, blending and intertwining with the sonic power until they fused into one.
After a brief charge, Rocks' pupils shrank suddenly, and the terrifying power was unleashed.
It slammed directly into Garp's Fist Bone: Impact and Roger's Divine Departure!
BOOM—
The three forces collided.
In the next second, an unprecedented shockwave of energy erupted, sweeping across the entire island in the span of a breath.
The terrifying power exploded completely. A slowly rising mushroom cloud detonated with a roar. Centered on the three combatants, the ground shattered inch by inch, cracks spreading downwards endlessly, fracturing the very foundation of the island.
A pillar of energy light shot thousands of meters into the sky, punching a massive hole through the heavens.
Wherever the shockwave passed, all tangible objects were ground into powder, leaving no trace behind.
Dense forests became barren wastelands in the blink of an eye, the earth itself overturned.
The impacted ocean churned up waves hundreds of meters high, and countless terrified Sea Kings leaped from the water, roaring in fear.
As the shockwave swept through the crowds, they didn't even have time to feel fear; only twisted faces were seen before they scattered into the wind.
Although people had intentionally kept their distance from the battlefield of Rocks, Garp, and Roger, the range of this attack was too vast, and its spread too fast.
Many God Valley natives, pirates, and Marine officers had no time to react and were swallowed by the powerful shockwave, turning into nothingness.
In an instant, the traces of tens of thousands of people were completely erased.
Reynolds, sensing it beforehand, immediately disengaged from his battle and flew high into the sky, blocking the incoming shockwave.
Other top-tier powerhouses did the same. At the Admiral level, if you didn't have that kind of foresight, you deserved to die.
Even some Vice Admirals sensed it in advance, breaking away from their opponents and sprinting toward the perimeter.
Reynolds and the other powerhouses expanded their Observation Haki, searching for signs of life at the center of the explosion.
They wanted to know immediately: Who won?
The apocalyptic energy ravaged God Valley for several minutes before slowly dissipating. The collision covered a third of the island, centered on the trio.
Of course, "covered" here meant devastation!
Other peripheral areas were affected, but not as terrifically as the center.
Everything within this zone was reduced to nothingness. Not even a fragment of skin remained; even blood stains were instantly evaporated.
Only the barren, shattered earth was left.
Cracks extended hundreds of meters down; some severe ones even pierced through the entire island.
The energy shockwave from the trio's clash instantly killed eighty percent of the pirates in the Rocks crew who possessed Vice Admiral-level strength.
Although the ordinary pirates were further away, nearly twenty thousand of them still died.
