God-Tier Observation Haki-Voice of All Things

"Carter was... was killed in an instant!!"

Seeing their comrade's corpse, the other three CP0 agents felt their heads buzzing.

That man just now was the strongest of the four of them. He had at least the strength of a Vice Admiral!

And he'd been killed in an instant just like that?

Actually, after Roger's "guidance," Rono now possessed the same strength as Roger. A full-power strike imbued with Advanced Armament Haki couldn't be blocked by anyone who didn't have the strength of a Shichibukai.

Vice Admirals-unless they were on the level of Garp or Tsuru, the rest of them, even the Elite Vice Admirals at Marine Headquarters, were still a level below the Shichibukai.

Why would someone this powerful be in the weakest sea, the East Blue?

Something was wrong. Very wrong!

And judging by his actions, he was clearly after the Celestial Dragons!

A young man who could kill a Vice Admiral with one punch, and who was specifically targeting the Celestial Dragons—this news had to be reported to Mary Geoise!

"What about you? Do you want to end up like him, or are you going to tell me where the Celestial Dragons are?"

Rono spoke one word at a time, his tone full of menace.

"Heh heh, Commoner, don't even think about it!"

Although the three CP0 agents were afraid, there was no way they would reveal the Celestial Dragons' whereabouts.

These CP0 agents had all been orphans since childhood. After the World Government selected them, they'd been brainwashed day in and day out. They were utterly devoted to the Celestial Dragons.

Even if a Celestial Dragon told them to kill themselves, they would do so on the spot. There was no way they would betray the Celestial Dragons.

Come to think of it, dogs like these really did deserve to be called "loyal hounds."

"Then die!"

Rono snorted coldly and launched an attack on the CP0 agents.

"Split up and run! Don't let him take us all out at once!"

"Geppo!"

These three knew their own strength well enough. They were only at the level of a Rear Admiral or a candidate for Vice Admiral.

The only reason they threw their weight around in front of the Navy was their status as CP0 agents.

If they really fought a Monster like Rono, who could kill a Vice Admiral with one punch, they'd be wiped out in minutes!

"Trying to run?"

Rono raised an eyebrow, used Observation Haki to see through one CP0 agent's escape route, and blocked his path.

"Shigan: Rupture!"

That CP0 agent wasn't a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, either. The instant Rono closed in, he launched an attack.

"Ah!!" The CP0 agent Rono had targeted suddenly let out a scream of unimaginable agony!

His Shigan struck Rono's arm, which was covered in Armament Haki. Rono then applied a little force, and the CP0 agent's finger snapped under the blow!

Pain in the fingers went straight to the heart. That kind of agony was no joke.

"Die!"

Rono punched through his chest, killing the CP0 agent on the spot!

But the other two CP0 agents used the opportunity to put some distance between themselves and Rono.

"Damn, we really did get here too late. Only two of them left?"

"Take this!"

Just then, Roger finally arrived, bringing his blade down on one of the fleeing CP0 agents.

That CP0 agent had no idea Rono had an accomplice. He became another soul beneath Roger's blade in an instant.

"There was another one!"

The only surviving CP0 agent immediately fled for his life, utterly panicked and running wherever his feet took him.

"Heh, Geppo!"

Rono wasn't going to let a single one of them get away. Since there were no Celestial Dragons here this time, he could only vent his anger by killing their dogs.

Rono had just picked up Geppo from the system. Besides Geppo, he'd also picked up Shigan and Tekkai, two other techniques from the Six Powers.

"Rono, I'll help you!"

Roger helped Rono chase down the last remaining CP0 agent.

"Don't kill him. Just capture him."

Rono said this to Roger. He suddenly felt that he couldn't kill this man.

Since he was a CP0 agent, he had to be able to contact the Celestial Dragons. If he died, the trail would go cold.

"All right, got it."

Roger nodded. They approached from either side and soon captured the only surviving CP0 agent.

"Give up, Commoners! I won't tell you where the Celestial Dragons are!"

Knowing he couldn't escape death, the captured CP0 agent said resolutely, and even spat at the two of them.

Rono wasn't surprised by the CP0 agent's reaction. These people had long since lost their minds.

Ignoring him, Rono began searching the CP0 agent.

Soon, Rono found what he wanted—a specially made Den Den Mushi.

The emblem on the Den Den Mushi made it clear: it was a dedicated Den Den Mushi, probably used by CP0 agents to contact one another.

He should be able to use it to contact the CP0 agents escorting the Celestial Dragons.

But Rono discovered that he couldn't activate it.

"Hahahaha, this is a Den Den Mushi specially made for us. It can't be activated without a special Cipher!"

The CP0 agent laughed triumphantly.

For an intelligence organization, this kind of counterintelligence measure was child's play.

"Rono, do you have some kind of grudge against the Celestial Dragons or CP0?"

Just then, Roger turned to Rono and asked.

After all, Roger had sensed Rono's anger while he was on his way over.

Whenever the Celestial Dragons came up, Rono's emotions would explode, as though he'd become a different person.

At that, Rono didn't answer.

Because he didn't want to answer. This was the deepest wound and secret in his heart, and Rono didn't want to bring it up to anyone.

"All right, it doesn't matter. I'll help you."

Although Rono hadn't answered, Roger didn't mind. How could perceptive Roger fail to notice the change in Rono's emotions?

This guy's Observation Haki could hear the Voice of All Things.

Although he couldn't directly hear people's thoughts, his intuition was dozens of times sharper than an ordinary person's!

Roger could feel that Rono and the Celestial Dragons definitely shared a deep history!

Although they weren't companions, Roger already considered Rono a friend. When a friend needed help, it was time to put his abilities to use.

Then Roger bent down beside the CP0 agent, leaned close to his ear, and assumed the pose of someone listening.

"What's this?"

Seeing what Roger was doing, Rono was stunned too.

Th-this seemed to be Roger's special Observation Haki—the Voice of All Things!

[ Ding~ Congratulations, Host, you've successfully picked up God-Tier Observation Haki—the Voice of All Things! ]

The instant Roger used his Haki, the system sounded its pleasant notification.

He'd picked it up! The Voice of All Things!

This was an ability of God-Tier Observation Haki!

Like Katakuri's ability to predict the future and Red Count's ability to probe people's minds, it belonged to a special kind of Observation Haki!

It allowed its user to communicate with all things. It was an extremely rare ability.

It could even be said that the Voice of All Things was a level above predicting the future and probing people's minds.

After all, this was an ability only the protagonist could possess. Luffy and Roger both had it!

Of course, more importantly, perhaps he could find out about the Celestial Dragons from this CP0 agent and avenge his parents!
