Chapter 462: The God Valley War Officially Begins
Casualties were mounting, and the sea was starting to run red with blood!
The four lunarians of the Hell Pirates, along with the beast Kaido, fought with the most savage and merciless styles imaginable—not a single enemy corpse was left in one piece!
Sniper Silva perched on the golden ship, picking off careless Navy officers one by one. He was the ultimate sneaky killer, racking up the most efficient takedowns.
And every now and then, he’d glance over at the action on Rocks’ side, ready to swoop in and grab his cut of the loot!
Fishman Tom and Fisher Tiger led their fishman squad in punching holes through enemy ships, while Ashura Jakun’s samurai crew charged in alongside winged race musket team.
These days, the Sky Island’s Seastone musket squads were shifting over to the winged race’s air force units—turns out, sniping from the skies was way more effective!
The veteran Scarlet kept a watchful eye on the beast Kaido and Kozuki Oden, those two rising stars with boundless potential!
Even the ship doctor Crocus and head chef Streusen jumped into the fray. On a Hell Pirates vessel, you couldn’t afford to be dead weight—of course, except for the intel guy, Antonio!
Right then, a few more pirate ships sailed into the mix: the World Pirates and Woonan Pirates, both under the Hell Pirates’ banner. They were here to pile on, kick the Navy while they were down, rack up some merit points, and trade ’em in for rare goodies!
The Navy was already on the ropes, and seeing Byrnndi World’s monstrous cannon barrage incoming just crushed their spirits even further.
They’d been holding out for their own backup, but instead, they got hammered by even stronger foes. How the hell were they supposed to fight this?
Every past clash with the Hell Pirates had ended in defeat, with massive losses to boot. Now, the whole force was traumatized.
"Admiral Aokiba, that holy light of yours is seriously overpowered—it can actually purify my ghosts!!"
Brook gripped the Seven Star Sword tight, slashing viciously at White Horse Aokiba. The quasi-divine blade, wrapped in Conqueror’s Haki and Ryuo, even chipped off a chunk of the admiral’s tough unicorn horn.
Aokiba flapped his wings in a panic, backing away fast, staring in terror at the Seven Star Sword in Brook’s hands. That horrifying soul energy and the invading spirits—even his holy light was struggling to hold them back!
"Is that a divine weapon beyond even the Supreme Grade blades??"
Aokiba asked gravely, sensing death itself emanating from it. Ever since awakening his Mythical Zoan, he hadn’t felt this kind of spine-tingling dread in ages.
Even with the insane regen from a awakened Mythical Zoan, he couldn’t shrug off the damage from Brook’s magic sword. He’d barely gotten nicked, but it’d sucked out a ton of his blood.
Any other weapon—even a Supreme Grade one—and a scratch like that would’ve healed in a single breath. But the mythical recovery combined with his holy light’s built-in healing couldn’t stop that blade’s bloodthirsty power!
"Yohohoho~ Congratulations! You’ve got the privilege of witnessing a quasi-divine weapon that outclasses the Supreme Grades. And now, you’ll be its first big-shot sacrifice!"
The Seven Star Sword in Brook’s grasp glowed with a hungry crimson light, clearly thrilled with Aokiba’s blood and itching for another deep drink!
"Damn you!"
Aokiba’s heart sank. Top-shelf weapons, Devil Fruit powers, all three types of Haki—Brook was steadily evolving into a monster on par with Rocks himself.
"I want that Devil Fruit ability of yours for my next daughter. Think you can part with it, Admiral Aokiba?!"
Brook roared with laughter as he charged again, his underworld ghost aura mingling with that ravenous bloodlust, making even this awakened Mythical Zoan user wary of clashing head-on!
"If you’ve got the guts, come and take it!"
Aokiba unleashed his full potential—he had to hold out for over a day, until the Fleet Admiral and the God’s Knights showed up!
Truth be told, he’d rather pull the Navy back to God Valley, rally everyone, and mount a united defense against Rocks and Brook’s assault!
He never expected Brook to cut them off right on the open sea and kick things off. This was way worse than he’d imagined!
Over on the other side, Whitebeard Newgate boldly opted for a straight-up fistfight with Garp. He knew his Armament Haki couldn’t match Garp’s, but with the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and his Conqueror’s Haki coiling, he was trading blows toe-to-toe!
Neither had gone all-out like this in forever—the other guy was a beast! Today, they’d finally met their equal and were itching for a real brawl!
Unlike Whitebeard Newgate, who was soaking up the thrill of the fight, Redfield and Golden Lion Shiki were dead set on crushing their foes. They were peak competitors, driven by victory, loving nothing more than climbing over the bodies of the defeated!
But their opponents were no pushovers—real-deal powerhouses. Without any outside help, these matchups could drag on for days without a clear winner!
Golden Lion Shiki hadn’t figured a Navy HQ elite vice admiral would pack this much punch. He had to admit, he’d underestimated Black Arm Zephyr.
If his dual blades hadn’t been upgraded, Zephyr’s insane Armament Haki would’ve probably dented them by now. How the hell was his Haki that strong?!
These hand-to-hand specialists were tough as nails, no doubt!
One slip-up, and you’d get yanked straight into the drink and drowned in seconds!
...
While the Hell Pirates were kicking off their massive showdown, the Rocks Pirates had also locked horns with the Navy force led by Devo.
Devo had begged the Celestial Dragons multiple times to dispatch two God’s Knights for backup, but those spineless elites shot him down every time.
They didn’t want their top fighters out tangling with pirates—that’d leave their own hides exposed. Still, they tossed him a bone by sending a CP0 squad to help drive Rocks back!
But up against the terror of the New World’s top dog, Rocks, Devo didn’t stand a chance. He had no choice but to defy orders: without Celestial Dragon approval, he led the Navy in a forced landing on God Valley, digging in on the island to fend off the Rocks Pirates’ onslaught!
If they’d kept slugging it out at sea, his men would’ve been wiped out. This move had the Celestial Dragons raging, calling Devo a worthless idiot for dragging the flames of war to their sacred turf—God Valley!
Left with no options, the Celestial Dragons finally caved and sent the two God’s Knights out to team up with Devo and swarm Rocks!
Rocks hadn’t anticipated God Valley’s hidden depths, packing two entry-level admiral-tier guardian knights.
One versus three—even the New World overlord Rocks was feeling the pressure. Good thing Skal was there to briefly pin down one of the knights.
For the first time ever, Rocks unleashed his true power in front of the world. That thick, almost tangible Conqueror’s Haki left even admiral-level Devo and the God’s Knights rattled, forcing them to grit through an overwhelming suppressive force!
