Rocks's eyes gradually reddened like those of a savage beast, glowing with a blood-red light.
But he did not charge forward to stop them.
Instead...
He calmly controlled his mind.
At the brink of going berserk, he forcibly awakened himself with reason. "Ares... I really, really want to kill you... right now!!"
"It was you and Golden Lion who ruined my plans. Otherwise..."
"God Valley would belong to me by now, and all the Devil Fruits would be mine!!!"
Rocks's killing intent was intense, but he knew he was facing too many enemies. He absolutely could not force Ares, Kaido, and the others into a desperate struggle.
Otherwise, he would be surrounded on all sides.
He would be trapped in a perilous situation!!
At that moment.
Ares shouted toward Shiki the Golden Lion, "Hey—Big Brother Shiki, it's time to go!"
"Hmm!?" Golden Lion took a deep drag on his cigar and said furiously, "Ares, are we really going to let things with Rocks end just like this!?"
Ares's expression turned cold as he grinned. "Heh heh—how could we let it end so easily!? It's just that I don't want to let the World Government reap the benefits!!"
He did not want the World Government to sit back and profit from their struggle.
Ares then walked over to Golden Lion and shouted at Saint Saturn of the Five Elders, "Hey—Saint Saturn, how about we end this war here!?"
"You—" Saint Saturn's face darkened, his expression so gloomy it seemed water might drip from it. "This Ares fellow is truly detestable..."
Just now.
He had fought the most viciously, and now he was also the one stepping forward to end the war!
Whitebeard planted Murakumogiri heavily on the ground, kicking up a ring of dust, and grinned. "Gurararara— I agree with Ares.
