God Valley Escape

The Sea Calendar year 1484, God Valley.

A group of people wearing white short-sleeved shirts with a "target" pattern printed on their backs were desperately running through the forest. Every one of them had a look of terror and helplessness on their faces, as if some terrifying monster was chasing them.

"Run faster! They're catching up!"

"Damn it, don't block the way! I want to survive!"

"Bang! Bang!"

"Ah!!!"

Intense gunshots rang out from behind them. People fell to the ground one after another, and the running crowd became even more chaotic.

Amidst the chaos, four figures stayed close together. No matter how the surrounding crowd pushed and shoved, the four of them remained a tight unit.

These four were three males and one female. Although one of them was incredibly large, judging by his youthful face, he was still a child, just like the other three.

His physical strength was clearly much greater than the other three children, but he always stayed behind them, using his body as a shield for the three.

An arrow was deeply embedded in the "target" pattern on his back. However, even while injured, he gritted his teeth tightly and let out not a single sound.

The only little girl among the four turned her head and saw this. Tears instantly burst from her eyes. She cried out anxiously, "Little Kuma! Go ahead of us! You're too easy to injure staying behind!"

Little Kuma forced a smile and shook his head.

"Ginny, don't worry about me, I'm fine. As long as you're not hurt, that's all that matters."

He said this, but his weak tone and pale complexion clearly indicated that he was not in good condition.

After all, he was still a child, a child who stood over two meters tall.

The remaining two boys also turned to look at Little Kuma when they heard Ginny's voice.

The boy with the afro's face darkened when he saw the arrow in Kuma's back. He looked at the other boy beside him and said in a deep voice, "Gigue, we need to find a safe place to hide quickly. Kuma is seriously injured! Damn those scumbags!"

The boy called Gigue wasn't wearing the white short-sleeved shirt with the target pattern. Instead, he was draped in a white long-sleeved coat that looked to be of good quality.

He had messy black hair, a delicate face, and his dark eyes held a calm and resolute gaze. His youthful face showed a maturity unbefitting his age.

At this moment, Gigue's expression was grim. He slowly spoke, "There's no safe place right now. We can't stop. Just hold on a little longer. The sun is about to set, and they'll be leaving soon."

"But..."

"Run! Otherwise, there's only death!"

Kuma also spoke at this moment.

"Ivan, Gigue is right. We absolutely cannot stop here. If I can't hold on later, please don't mind me. You guys run!"

At the tender age of nine, he had already prepared himself for death. Ginny cried even harder upon hearing this.

"Wuwuwu... Little Kuma, I will never abandon you!"

Although Gigue spoke sternly, his footsteps unconsciously slowed down.

This action was clearly extremely dangerous. Fortunately, as dusk approached, their pursuers might have grown tired, and their speed also began to slow.

Less than an hour later, the gunshots behind Gigue and the others gradually subsided until they stopped completely.

If you find this book to your liking, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.

To be safe, Gigue and the others continued running for a while longer, finally stopping in front of a small pond.

Plop! Plop!

As soon as Ivan and the others stopped, they collapsed onto the ground like deflated balloons. Kuma, with his injured back, lay flat on the ground in a spread-eagle position.

Gigue first cautiously scanned their surroundings. After confirming it was safe, he walked to the edge of the pond, sat down, and stared blankly at his reflection in the water.

A week of fleeing had passed, in this world of the Pirate King...

Gigue had transmigrated.

He was originally an orphan on Earth, barely graduating from university through part-time jobs.

Orphans were also a common demographic for transmigration.

On the night of his graduation, he drank with his dorm mates all night until he was completely drunk. He only remembered that he was leaning against the wall to go to the restroom when his legs gave out, and he fell down the stairwell. Then, he lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he had become a child and was on a deserted island.

Regarding the memories of his previous body, apart from knowing that his predecessor was also named Gigue and was eight years old, he couldn't recall anything else, as if he had amnesia.

As for how he knew he had transmigrated to the world of the Pirate King, it was because he encountered Kuma and the others who were fleeing while exploring the deserted island.

Never mind Ginny, Kuma, and Ivan, characters with such distinct images in the Pirate King series were very familiar to Gigue, who had read the manga.

After learning their names, and seeing Ivan's afro and that "perverted" demeanor, as well as Kuma, a nine-year-old child standing two meters tall, Gigue knew exactly who they were.

Kuma and the other two were also well-known good people in the Pirate World. Seeing Gigue, a child even younger than them, and alone and miserable, they took him in without a second word. The original trio became a quartet from that day on.

Based on Kuma and the others' current ages and their predicament, Gigue had figured out where he was and what was happening.

God Valley, the Celestial Dragons' slave hunting ground!

As soon as Gigue confirmed this news, ten thousand Cao Ni Ma stampeded through his mind.

He knew all too well what would happen in God Valley. Not long from now, the top powerhouses of the Pirate World would gather here for a fierce battle.

The Rocks Pirates, the Marines, and the Celestial Dragons' ace force, the Divine Knights – just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

And him, Gigue, a Celestial Dragon who was a weakling with a gun, could have his life taken at any moment.

What kind of hellish start was this?!

Where was the promised beginner village?! He was facing max-level BOSSes right from the start, and not just one, but a whole group!?

Although Gigue knew that Bartholomew Kuma would later eat the Paw-Paw Fruit and use its abilities to help everyone escape, that was from his God-like perspective when he was reading the manga. Now, he was a genuine prey in this hunting ground!

What if he was shot dead by some Celestial Dragon midway?

What if, because of his involvement, they couldn't find the Paw-Paw Fruit in the end? He knew that in the original manga, he and Ivan had only stumbled upon the fruit by chance!

For the first few days, Gigue still held onto a sliver of hope. He thought that since transmigration was a real thing, there must be some cheat or system, right?

Gigue had always fantasized about hearing a "ding!" in his mind, followed by some electronic voice announcing, "XX condition met, XX activated."

However, until now, Gigue had become numb to the daily gunshots and screams. That ding sound, which was like heavenly music, still hadn't appeared.

Recalling the escape experiences of this period, Gigue finally broke down. He punched the water, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "Celestial Dragons, if I manage to get out of here alive, none of you will have an easy time!!!"
