Seeing Kuma swallow the Paw-Paw Fruit in one gulp, Linlin was so furious her lungs felt like they would explode. She glared at Gigue as if she could eat him alive.

However, in her current state, she was powerless despite her rage. Saint Garling was suppressing her so fiercely that he didn't give her any chance to break free.

Seizing this opportunity, Gigue raised his hand and pulled Ivan to his side. He then shouted at Kuma, "Kuma, use your ability to send us away! Control the force, just pat!"

Gigue had previously explained to Kuma and the others how to use the Paw-Paw Fruit's ability for rapid movement. Coupled with Kuma's high compatibility with the fruit, he immediately patted himself upon hearing Gigue's words. He arrived before Gigue almost instantaneously.

Gigue spread his hands, and dark vortices appeared in each of his palms. The powerful gravitational force pulled Ginny and the kicked-away Ivan towards him.

Throughout this process, Gigue kept an eye on Saturn, who was locked in battle with the Rocks Pirates. According to the original storyline, Saturn would have interfered with Kuma.

However, Saturn showed no intention of coming over from beginning to end. Gigue guessed it might be because Garling had left the battlefield.

After all, before the Roger Pirates arrived, it would be quite difficult for the current Marines plus Saturn alone to face the Rocks Pirates, even with many impostors within the Rocks Pirates.

Kuma raised his hand again, preparing to use his ability to send himself and Gigue away from God Valley.

Garling had been watching Gigue and had witnessed Kuma's ability. He guessed that Gigue was planning to escape.

Just as Kuma's hand was about to touch Gigue, Garling suddenly shouted at Gigue, "Kid! Remember! Your surname is Figarland!"

"Pop!"

The Paw-Paw Fruit's ability activated, and Gigue vanished from his spot. Kuma wanted to save more slaves, but Rocks, for some unknown reason, suddenly unleashed his Conqueror's Haki. The entire God Valley was instantly filled with lightning and thunder, resembling the end of the world.

His eyes blood red, he stared at the spot where Gigue had disappeared and roared, his voice echoing through the heavens, "Bastard! Where did you send that kid!? That's my fruit!!"

Sengoku and Garp exchanged glances, wondering what Rocks was going on about. What fruit? The Paw-Paw Fruit?

Although Kuma had excellent potential, he was still young. He was stunned by Rocks' Conqueror's Haki. Once he recovered, he didn't dare to hesitate and immediately used his ability to send himself away.

Saturn shouted at Garling, "Garling! Come back quickly!"

Garling stood still for a moment, then broke free from Linlin and charged towards his own battlefield. Linlin, however, had no intention of returning. Without Garling's interference, she began to focus solely on finding the Azure Dragon Fruit.

In the distance, Saturn breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Garling return and said softly, "That fruit originally belonged to you..."

Garling shook his head and said calmly, "I've never been very interested in Devil Fruits. I only came here to enjoy the thrill of the hunt. Besides, the fact that he's still alive means Vegapunk's experiment was successful. In that case, there's no fruit more suitable for him."

Saturn opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say more, but Rocks didn't give him the chance. He charged forward like a black lightning bolt, his fist filled with rage smashing down heavily on Saturn.

The Celestial Dragons guards in front of Saturn, whether intentionally or not, moved aside by one step. Garling, preoccupied with his thoughts, didn't step forward to intervene.

The Celestial Dragon guards around them were loyal, throwing themselves forward fearlessly. However, in Rocks' eyes, they were no different from ants. Some were directly blasted into bloody mist.

Saturn's cane spun through the air as he took a heavy punch to the face, immediately performing a spectacular "eight legs in the air" maneuver.

Sengoku looked like he wanted to laugh but dared not. Garp, on the other hand, let out a snort and sprayed out his drink. Tsuru, standing beside him, pinched him hard in the waist. Garp, whose Armament Haki was formidable, actually broke his defense. His expression looked worse than crying.

The Rocks Pirates showed no such restraint, bursting into laughter and practically rubbing Saturn's old face into the ground.

Saturn, having suffered a heavy blow, got up shortly after. After all, as an Ability User of a Mythical Zoan, his recovery abilities were already monstrous.

However, judging by his slight trembling, Rocks' punch, filled with anger, was clearly not easy to endure.

Saturn, upon getting up, first swept his cold gaze across the Marines, specifically giving Garp a few extra looks. Garp was picking his nose, looking completely unfazed.

Garp was currently a crucial combatant, so even though Saturn was furious, he couldn't vent his anger on the spot. He could only suppress his rage and issue an order to Fleet Admiral Kong, "Eliminate the Rocks Pirates. Leave no one alive!"

Rocks snorted disdainfully and said, "With you lot? After today, I will be the new King of the World! Men! Attack!"

The two sides clashed once more. Facing the combined forces of the Divine Knights and the Marines, the Rocks Pirates showed no signs of being at a disadvantage. On the contrary, they seemed to be gaining the upper hand.

Rocks became more and more excited as the battle wore on. According to his original plan, he would have preferred to obtain the Dark-Dark Fruit. With its enhancement, his chances of winning would have significantly increased.

However, the performance of the Marines and the World Government left him feeling unimpressed. And this was with some members of the pirate crew slacking off.

Among Rocks' subordinates, Kaido was undoubtedly the most diligent. He was like a reckless youngster, wielding his spiked club so fast it left afterimages. He simply smashed anyone he saw, a stark contrast to the performance of the Division Captains.

Rocks saw this and began to consider "promoting and giving a raise" to Kaido after they won.

However, such premature celebrations are always a major taboo. Just as Rocks was grabbing a Marine officer by the collar, preparing to break his neck, a black and red sword energy that spanned the sky roared towards him.

"Divine Departure!"

Rocks' pupils constricted. He threw the Marine aside and retreated rapidly.

The sword energy struck the ground, kicking up a cloud of smoke. As the smoke dissipated, a bottomless chasm was revealed before everyone's eyes.

"Swish!"

A figure clad in a red cloak descended from the sky. The newcomer wore a confident smile. Garp, who had been listless, suddenly roared as if injected with chicken blood, "Roger! You bastard, you've finally shown up!"

Roger turned and smiled at Garp, then pointed his sword at the grim-faced Rocks and said sternly, "Rocks, you are far too dangerous. You cannot be allowed to continue!"
