Rocks fought Roger and Garp alone, and their powerful Conqueror's Haki tore through the sky, while crimson lightning illuminated the land with a deep red hue.
The entire God Valley trembled violently, on the verge of collapse, as the earth's crust was fractured and stretched, and a destructive force ripped God Valley into more than a dozen pieces.
Peaks crashed down, and rivers hung upside down.
Mountains became canyons, plains became basins, and cities were reduced to ruins!
The Celestial Dragons evacuated God Valley under the cover of the Marine and God's Knights, with more than a dozen branch warships arriving to provide aid. Kong, who was far away at Marineford, resolutely gave the order to launch a Buster Call.
Instantly, countless cannon fire rained down on God Valley.
But then, a jaw-dropping scene unfolded!
The moment the cannonballs reached the sky above God Valley, terrifying Haoshoku Haki transformed into dozens of chaotic thunderbolts, weaving into an invisible barrier above the shattered God Valley, pulverizing all approaching cannonballs.
Brilliant fireworks exploded in the sky.
At dawn, God Valley was engulfed by a blazing light, like a sun!
God Valley disintegrated and gradually sank, and surging seawater poured into the streets, sweeping away ruined buildings!
In his previous life, Kaido had left God Valley early and had not witnessed Rocks' demise firsthand.
The power Rocks unleashed before his death, even from a great distance, sent shivers down Kaido's spine and made his scalp tingle.
As seawater flowed beneath his feet, Kaido gazed into the distance, his expression a mix of surprise and uncertainty.
He then glared at Rayleigh and sneered, "That's enough for today!"
With that, dragon scales appeared on Kaido's face, dragon horns grew from his forehead, and his body grew several meters taller, reaching a ten-meter-class physique.
Then he plunged into the blinding white light.
Several months later.
Across the world, people were discussing the Rocks Pirates' battle at God Valley. News, forcefully rewritten by the World Government, spread throughout various countries, causing a huge uproar.
The sea overlord, the world's cancer, the Rocks Pirates, hunted Celestial Dragons at God Valley but were stopped by Garp. Rocks' whereabouts were ultimately unknown, suspected to have disappeared along with the sunken God Valley.
People celebrated, this was a great victory for the Marine and for human history!
The bombshell news that followed was the disbandment of the Rocks Pirates. The high-ranking officers began to engage in widespread bloodshed over territory disputes, affecting several non-affiliated countries of the World Government.
The conflicts of the Great War did not diminish with the disbandment of the Rocks Pirates. Without Rocks to suppress them, the Rocks Pirates went berserk on the seas, and countless new pirate crews emerged.
Golden Lion, who had acquired the Float-Float Fruit from God Valley, established the Flying Pirates. Due to his fame and prestige, he attracted a large number of former subordinate pirate crews of the Rocks Pirates.
Whitebeard, who obtained the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, was exploring the seas with the Ice Witch Whitey Bay and his newly adopted seven-year-old son, Marco.
In the battle of God Valley, he was ambushed by Garin Saint's immortal body, taking a stab to the chest, and it took more than ten days for the wound to begin healing.
Silver Axe, accompanied by several giants, seized several islands that were formerly subordinate to the Rocks Pirates as his base, establishing the Silver Ax Pirates on the sea.
John and Kaido also established their respective forces. The two fought fiercely over the ownership of Hachinosu Island. Unlike in his previous life, because Kaido's injuries from God Valley had not yet healed, John ultimately gained control of Hachinosu Island.
After Charlotte Linlin rushed back to Hachinosu Island and couldn't find Kaido, she caused a huge commotion on Hachinosu Island. Afterward, she took her children and the head chef to establish the Big Mom Pirates and proceeded to attack the northern subordinate kingdoms.
People all over the world belatedly realized that the Grand Line had not found peace with the disbandment of the Rocks Pirates; a new wave of unrest was sweeping across the world.
Grand Line.
After the demise of the Rocks Pirates, the situation where one pirate crew dominated the Grand Line was broken, and pirate crews emerged like mushrooms after rain, competing to appear.
The World Pirates was one such crew.
The World Pirates, led by Captain Byrnndi Wald, formed a pirate crew with his older brother, Binjack, to set sail and pursue his childhood dream of traveling the world and seeking the freedom people spoke of.
However, what they witnessed along the way—oppression, exploitation, violence, and bloodshed—was vastly different from what they had expected.
Accidentally caught in a Marine siege against a certain pirate crew, the World Pirates were treated as accomplices by the Marine and surrounded. Wald bravely fought back, ultimately defeating the Marine.
Because of this, the World Pirates successfully entered the Marine's radar, and Wald, as their leader, received a bounty of fifty million Berries.
Wald didn't care about being bountied by the Marine and continued to go his own way.
Not long ago, he unexpectedly found a tattered treasure map. After spending several weeks collecting and completing it, a coordinate appeared on the map.
So Wald led his crew to embark on an adventure.
After about a week, the World Pirates finally arrived at their destination.
But when he saw the scene before him, Wald couldn't help but be stunned.
This was a pitch-black island, an uninhabited zone. The coastline was dotted with reefs, and the smooth rock walls were steep and towering, making them difficult to climb.
Above, dark clouds swirled, occasionally flashing with purple lightning. Terrifying purple lightning struck the ground, erupting in a violet glow, and the waves churned.
The salty, cold sea breeze stung his face. The frail Binjack trembled as he repeatedly checked the compass: "This is the island, no doubt, but it looks very difficult to land."
The revolver officer, Gairam, said, "Captain, should we go up?"
Wald glanced at his lean older brother, Binjack, who was sitting on his shoulder, a worried expression on his face.
Binjack seemed to sense Wald's concern and said with a smile, "Wald, don't worry about my body. I support your choice."
"Are you sure, Brother?" Wald asked repeatedly.
After receiving Binjack's affirmative reply, Wald decisively instructed Gairam and Nachen to maneuver the engine closer to the island's offshore waters.
The Fishman Sebastian dived underwater to scout, and after confirming there were no reefs, he directed the pirate ship to sail towards the coast and anchor.
After determining the crew members who would stay on the ship, Wald slung a rope over his back and began to climb the coastal cliff.
Wald had an impressive physique; his stamina and strength were astonishing. He gripped crevices in the rock, secured rope pegs, and continued to climb upward. After repeating this more than ten times, he finally reached the top of the cliff.
Lowering the rope, Wald gestured for his companions to come ashore.
His companions successively landed on the island, then looked at the island before them.
Just then, a bolt of purple lightning struck from the sky, and the distant, pitch-black mountains resembled the gaping maw of a giant beast.
Scattered dog-shaped Rocks were embedded within, seemingly warning visitors that this place was unusual.
Anyone with a keen eye could tell that the large mountain was likely the treasure location.
Just then, Sebastian, being a Fishman, was startled, seemingly sensing something terrifying hidden deep within the forest.
"Captain, we're being targeted by a wild beast!"
