Chapter 43:
Although Charlotte Linlin escaped, there were still a few brats here.
"Hey, you two brats. Leave the Devil Fruits behind and escape for your lives."
Victor said to Ivankov and Kuma.
"Yes, thank you Mr. Victor." ×2
With that, the two of them ran off.
They had overheard the conversation earlier, so they remembered Victor's name.
Victor opened the treasure chest and only found one more Devil Fruit—the Hellhound (Cerberus) type. The other fruits were not here.
"Strange—where are the other Devil Fruits? How did they disappear? Whatever—gain what I can, lose what I must. Fate is fate."
With that, Victor stored the two Devil Fruits and turned into lightning, disappearing on the spot.
Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were still somewhat interesting—he had no intention of killing them in the God Valley battlefield.
Victor felt something was off about God Valley, but the resources here were indeed very rich.
So Victor immediately summoned the Gluttonous Giant Mouth and sank it directly beneath the ground of God Valley.
No matter what—he started devouring, and he left this Gluttonous Giant Mouth underground.
At this moment, Shakky's surroundings had been completely surrounded by Whitebeard and the others fighting the God's Knights members.
Even Whitebeard, for the moment, couldn't break through Galin Saint's blockade.
The other team members were in similar situations—after all, the God's Knights were no weaklings.
And not only the God's Knights—there were also powerful Navy forces.
Since that was the case, it was time for Victor to step in.
The task of rescuing Shakky was on him.
Then, Victor flashed and appeared beside Shakky, instantly killing the surrounding Celestial Dragons.
At this moment, Shakky hadn't suffered any injuries—she was just a bit disheveled.
"Hey, Shakky-nee—we meet again. This place is too dangerous—let me take you somewhere safe."
Immediately after, he scooped Shakky up in one arm and turned into a bolt of lightning, appearing on a pirate ship outside God Valley.
"Thank you, Victor-kun. Victor-kun truly keeps his promises."
After landing on the pirate ship, Shakky finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"No need to thank me. Shakky-nee—take care of yourself."
"Roger and the others are here too—I'm heading back to God Valley."
With that, Victor disappeared in front of Shakky.
"Hm? What is this thing?"
After returning to God Valley, Victor noticed that the Gluttonous Giant Mouth he left underground seemed to have swallowed something incredible.
Although he didn't know what it was, he first stored it in his inner space—might be useful later.
Victor's Mantra (heart net) sensed the cries of the civilians and slaves, so he disappeared again.
He continuously rescued all these ordinary people—including the fleeing and panicked Ivankov, Kuma, and Ginny.
However, he only placed them on the pirate ships outside—Shakky was also helping to settle them.
This action immediately moved the rescued people to tears.
"Thank you Mr. Victor for saving our lives."
Ivankov and the others immediately knelt and tearfully thanked Victor.
"Alright—escape for your lives quickly."
With that, Victor disappeared again.
The Rumble-Rumble Fruit was extremely convenient for travel—coming and going took only an instant.
At this moment, Galin Saint suddenly unleashed a bizarre ability, transforming the remaining members of the Davy Back Fight tribe into green-faced, fanged monsters.
"Black Brick Domination—you can't escape."
Galin Saint gave Rocks a sinister smile.
"Galin Saint—Celestial Dragons—you really deserve to die."
Rocks saw this scene and immediately became furious.
At this moment, he was carrying his wife and children while trying to escape, but seeing the pursuers behind them, they would likely have to stay behind.
And just at that moment, Roger and the others also arrived at God Valley and immediately charged in.
Rocks' wife and children watched their loved ones and tribespeople turn into monsters—their hearts filled with immense pain.
But if Rocks carried them, under Galin Saint and the others' pursuit, they definitely wouldn't escape.
So the mother and son immediately collapsed to the ground, urging Rocks to flee quickly.
"How could I possibly run away?"
Immediately after, Rocks roared loudly, drew his sword, and with one slash cut God Valley in half.
Victor saw this scene and felt extremely shocked.
"Worthy of Rocks—truly powerful."
Victor looked at Rocks in front of him and couldn't help but exclaim.
However, looking at the Blackbeard mother and son in front of him, Victor couldn't help but sigh—Blackbeard was destined to be only one.
Now that Shakky had been rescued by Victor, they no longer had any burdens.
But this was, after all, the sinful land of the Celestial Dragons—he naturally couldn't just let these Celestial Dragons go.
Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and the others also quickly killed Navy and Celestial Dragons, rushing toward Rocks' side.
At this time, Roger and the others also arrived.
Garp followed closely behind, but when he saw the massacre of Celestial Dragons and God's Knights—whether innocent civilians or pirates—
These Navy were also aiding tyranny—his face immediately darkened.
In an instant, Rocks, Roger, and the others joined forces and began counterattacking the Navy, God's Knights, and World Government forces.
Saturn Saint, watching from the sidelines, remained unmoved.
Just at that moment, a question from Imu suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Is Rocks dead yet?"
Saturn Saint faced Imu's question and remained surprisingly calm.
"Not yet?"
Saturn Saint's answer was even more concise.
But Imu, who was in the Flower Room, heard Saturn Saint's words and immediately furrowed her brows.
So she no longer paid attention to Saturn Saint—she directly possessed Saturn Saint and descended upon God Valley.
Saturn Saint's body froze—he immediately felt something strange, but he could no longer speak freely.
Black energy continuously surged from Saturn Saint's body. Immediately after, his entire body began to writhe, finally transforming into a monster.
This scene instantly stunned Rocks, Roger, and the others.
Immediately after, Imu began indiscriminate attacks—except for Celestial Dragons, whether Navy or pirates, as long as they were within her attack range, she attacked.
"Is this the power that approaches the world?"
"Imu—truly a rat hiding in the sewer."
Rocks immediately roared in fury.
"Too much!"
Garp, arriving on the scene, saw this and immediately became furious.
Immediately after, Roger, Whitebeard, and the others also joined forces.
However, under Imu's summoned pentagram array and various tentacle attacks—
Everyone near her was instantly subjected to Black Brick Domination, all turned into green-faced, fanged monsters and became her slaves.
Seeing this, Victor immediately activated the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability.
The sky instantly filled with overwhelming lightning, bombarding the area where Imu was.
Rocks and the others quickly joined forces and began battling Imu.
