Saturn's eyes flickered with a trace of regret as he gazed at the large beauty before him.

If it weren't for Old Woman Carmel's sudden disappearance, this woman would now be a member of the World Government, the strongest shield protecting the Celestial Dragons.

However, soon after, his peripheral vision caught sight of the honest-looking youth struggling to get up.

"A brat from the Bakaria Tribe? How pathetic. With that cursed blood flowing through you, your only options are slavery or death. That is history's decree."

"Mister, are you noble?"

I hope readers will remember our domain name here: t̲̲̅̅w̲̲̅̅k̲̲̅̅a̲̲̅̅n̲̲̅̅.c̲̲̅̅o̲̲̅̅m̲̲̅̅, which offers you a wide selection.

The bloodied youth looked bewildered. "But, being noble or lowly from birth… that's strange…"

"Shouldn't those with true power be like Nika, saving others?"

"That is why,"

Saturn calmly stared at him, "you all disappear from history. Now, you die too."

But, just then.

"Auntie Linlin, he's completely ignoring you! He's not taking you seriously at all!"

Roa's voice fanned the flames.

If Charlotte Linlin turned and ran, he would never get his hands on those treasures.

"Mama mama!"

Linlin reached for her head, pulled off her twin-horned hat, and a large sword appeared in her hand. "Will cutting down a Five Elder be any different from cutting down an ordinary person?"

"Elbaf Spear: God's Judgment!"

The air was instantly pierced, and a massive shockwave of sword energy roared towards Saturn.

The man wielding the world's highest authority remained calm. "You will all die too."

Whoosh!

The sword wave instantly engulfed him.

"Huh? What does that mean?"

BIG·MOM was somewhat surprised.

Not dodging, nor defending? Could this guy also be indestructible like herself?

"Be proud of it, ants, for a god will personally deliver your judgment."

Amidst his indifferent voice, a colossal monster rose.

Pitch-black flames formed ribbons, and a pair of giant horns grew from its head, just like Roa's. Its lower body had transformed into a giant spider.

"This is!!"

Charlotte Linlin's pupils constricted.

The monster's left side had a massive hole from the previous attack, but the flesh and blood around the wound were regenerating at an incredible speed.

Within a few breaths, all injuries were healed.

"A Mythical Zoan, just like Roa?"

The woman subconsciously categorized Saturn's regenerative ability as his Devil Fruit power. "Interesting. I'd like to see how many times you can regenerate!"

She lunged forward with her sword.

"Go for it, Auntie Linlin! I won't hold you back!"

Roa flapped his wings and flew off Auntie's shoulder, cheering her on as he headed directly towards the treasures.

Not to mention anything else, the remaining Devil Fruit shouldn't be weak, right? After all, it was placed alongside the Azure Dragon Fruit and the Paw-Paw Fruit.

"You brat!"

Charlotte Linlin was furious. This little punk really had the spirit of the Rocks Pirates.

But she had no time to deal with Roa now!

The spider's massive legs stabbed towards her.

"Zeus!"

"Yes, Mama!"

Zeus, the thundercloud floating beside her, transformed into a dark cloud, and a lightning bolt roared out like a dragon, striking Saturn, who neither dodged nor defended.

Then, Linlin instantly closed the distance and, with a backhanded swing, severed Saturn's head.

But before she could celebrate, the spider legs stabbed towards her again.

"Are you kidding me? This recovery speed!"

While blocking, the smile on Charlotte Linlin's lips had completely vanished.

"Do you understand now? How can ants resist a god?"

Saturn glared at her.

Charlotte Linlin let out a muffled groan, her head snapping back as she was struck by an invisible attack.

This was the Ox Demon's fierce gaze!

"That hurts! You bastard!"

A furious aura surged forth. Linlin, with a shallow scar on her forehead, roared. The fierce gaze, capable of easily bursting human bodies, had little effect on her invulnerable form.

Charlotte Linlin raised her hand and grabbed the sun flying beside her. "Prometheus! Sky Fire!"

A giant fireball instantly shattered Saturn's body once more.

"Beautiful, Aunt Linlin!"

Meanwhile, without even looking up, Roa cheered them on while picking up the Devil Fruit.

It was silver, with a metallic sheen, covered in many water-drop-like bumps and intricate spiral patterns.

An unfamiliar Devil Fruit.

But it probably wouldn't be bad.

Carefully tucking the fruit into his chest, Roa immediately noticed a sword placed nearby.

A black scabbard and hilt, with a purple cord. Placed in such a conspicuous spot, it must be something good. He casually slid it into his waistband like Sasuke.

There didn't seem to be anything else worthwhile. A tall pile of glittering treasure. Although he was tempted, he couldn't possibly take it all.

Symbolically stuffing a few large gems into his pockets, Roa finally looked up at the battle between the monsters.

It could be called a match of equals.

Charlotte Linlin swung her greatsword, imbued with Conqueror's Haki, shattering Saturn again and again.

But Saturn's immortality was unreasonable; he regenerated over and over, then struck back ferociously.

Roa noticed that Saturn had glanced at him several times but made no move.

Didn't that mean he completely disregarded him?

He was certain Roa wouldn't be able to escape even after taking the treasure, right?

That year, at seven years old, at the great battle of God Valley, he stood like a nobody.

At this moment, Roa tearfully swore, "You all must see me!"

Thirty years east, thirty years west; do not bully a young man in poverty!

"Aunt Linlin seems to be having a lot of fun!"

Roa nodded solemnly. "Then I shouldn't disturb her!"

Time to slip away!

With the treasure in hand, there was no need to linger.

Who knew what would happen next.

But.

"Oh! Linlin! It looks like you've run into a formidable opponent? Need our help?"

A cheerful voice echoed.

Charlotte Linlin, Saturn, and Roa all turned their heads simultaneously.

Silver Axe carrying a giant axe, Ochoku with a beaming smile, a tipsy Captain John, Gloriosa standing on a snake, the cadres of the Rocks Pirates had arrived!

Behind them followed some other pirate captains, a vast crowd.

"You've come at the perfect time."

Linlin grinned, malice filling her smile. "The treasure is right here. If we deal with this Five Elder together, we can share the treasure!"

"Five Elder?"

Silver Axe sized up Saturn. "Heh heh, Linlin, I don't think he can do anything to you!"

"Go for it, Linlin! We're going to go divide the treasure first!"

Without any hesitation, Ochoku lunged directly towards the treasure.

His cadres were no slower than him.

"You damn guys!"

BIG·MOM stomped her foot in anger.

This was bad.

Saturn frowned. The little brat was insignificant, but so many cadres from the Rocks Pirates...

In that case.

"I'll begin the summoning," he thought.

BOOM!!

Four giant magic circles bloomed behind him, spewing thick black smoke, with pitch-black lightning crackling.

Roa's pupils contracted.

"Run! The Five Elders are all here!"

"Invincibility plus summoning abilities, that's just unfair!"

Without hesitation, he transformed into his beast form, flapped the wings on his back, and Roa shot into the sky, flying straight towards Dylan's direction.

"Did that kid Roa have a change of heart?"

Silver Axe looked up at Roa's hasty escape, somewhat surprised. "He's not taking all this treasure?"

"That brat already took the most valuable thing!"

Charlotte Linlin sneered inwardly but said nothing.

Little Roa was only borrowing the treasure temporarily; Auntie could help him keep it safe later.

This piece of information shouldn't be revealed to too many people.

Roa went all out, even calling upon the wind to blow behind him and accelerate his speed, streaking across the sky like a meteor.

However, it was precisely when he was rushing at full speed.

Pat, pat, pat, pat!

Several light sounds came from his body.

"Hmm?"

On the ground below, the Celestial Dragons who had come to take refuge were gathered, a vast expanse of white.

Among the noisy and clamorous Celestial Dragons, a few gathered together, raised the guns in their hands, and began firing incessantly at the "big bird" approaching in the sky.

"Hey, hey, hey, bullying children!"

Roa carefully observed the scene below.

"Hmm, the Knights of God and the accompanying CP0 should have gone to intercept the approaching pirates."

"Then I'll have to use self-defense! Inferno!"

Although he had studied many interesting moves just now, the situation was urgent, so he wouldn't be picky.

Roa suddenly lowered his altitude, sweeping over the Celestial Dragons like a heavy bomber.

The moment he flew past, the Celestial Dragons below, starting from the direction he flew from, began to erupt in flames one by one!

It wasn't simple burning; a fierce fire raged on each Celestial Dragon!

In the blink of an eye, the expanse of white had turned into surging flames, with fire tongues reaching dozens of meters high.

Screams erupted one after another.

Roa panted heavily.

Using his abilities at high intensity had severely depleted his stamina, almost causing him to fall.

But fortunately, just a few breaths of the high-purity black energy emanating from the Celestial Dragons was enough to make Roa's spirits revive.

"Thank you for the feast. Now then,"

After one last look at the sea of flames below, Roa flapped his wings contentedly and soared high again. "Gana!"

Meanwhile.

Not long after Roa escaped, thick, black lightning splashed out from the four magic circles, and four twisted shadows emerged from the center of the circles. Within a few breaths, these twisted shadows had transformed into four colossal beings.

"What?"

Charlotte Linlin exclaimed in shock. "What is this situation?"

"Could it be,"

Ochoku also broke out in a sweat. "The Five Elders have all arrived?"

Aside from Ox Demon Saturn, the other four were equally terrifying, monstrous figures.

A giant wild boar with two blades for tusks, a massive horse skeleton covering its entire body, a hybrid bird-monster of a snake and a bird soaring through the air, and a giant sandworm as large as a mountain peak!

Gloriosa couldn't help but swallow. "Should we... retreat?"

Saturn spoke calmly. "Four of us are enough here. Maz, go after that brat. He fled eastward, and he stole the Mercury Fruit and the Blood Sea."

"Understood."

The monstrous bird Azukigahama flapped its wings and the next moment it was already pursuing in the direction Roa had fled.

After flying for a short while, the monstrous bird discovered a sea of flames below.

"Where did this fire come from?"

It was somewhat surprised.

Never mind, the priority now is to pursue that brat from the Rocks Pirates.

The bird flapped its wings, increasing its speed.

However, as it flew over the island, the strange bird also noticed a problem.

Where did the Celestial Dragons go?

It couldn't see any of them.

Was their hiding place that well-concealed?

Youngsters from their families were also participating in this hunt.

As he was pondering this, a shadow appeared in the sky ahead.

It caught up!

"Hm?"

Roa heard a thunderous roar coming from behind him.

He instinctively turned his head and was utterly terrified.

The strange bird was only a few hundred meters away from him!

Holy crap!

"I don't have any cough syrup!"
