The Holy Knights! The New Five Elders! Surpassing Rocks
"It's time to extinguish the light of fate."
Imu seemed to be talking to himself.
Immediately, His gaze shifted to the other side of the secret chamber!
There was a huge coffin there!
Inside the coffin lay a man!
His face was serene; he didn't look dead at all, but rather as if he were asleep.
The man was extremely tall, comparable to Giants!
It matches that huge Straw Hat perfectly!
Joy Boy!
Nika the Sun God!
A king from eight hundred years ago!
"It seems wasteful of you to mobilize resources just to crush two ants."
"After all, it only awakens once every hundred years."
Looking at the man sleeping peacefully in the coffin, Imu showed a rare emotional fluctuation and said with great emotion.
That epic war that lasted eight hundred years!
I myself only managed to defeat Joy Boy and his Great Kingdom by using the power of the [National Treasure]!
And it was a narrow victory!
Joy Boy's terrifying, world-destroying energy!
That is something Imu has never forgotten for eight hundred years!
Especially the terror of that Gigantification!
Imu even gave an order!
For centuries, World Government have been conducting experiments on Gigantification humans!
Imu immediately left the secret chamber and once again sat on the throne in the void!
"Lord Imu! The battlefield at God Valley is showing signs of weakness."
"Should we... go to rescue them now?"
"If we don't set off soon, the Five Elders may all die."
The next moment!
Five men clad in medieval armor appeared beneath the Empty Throne!
The five men spoke very respectfully.
All five of them exuded the aura of powerful individuals!
In no way inferior to the Current Five Elders!
In contrast, these five people were clearly in their Prime of Life!
This is -- [The Holy Knights]!
As the name suggests, they are Holy Knights directly under the Gods!
Furthermore, all five of them are Celestial Dragons!
"The Five Elders? They're old and useless now."
"We don't even have the strength to deal with two Pirate."
"They're already useless."
"From this day forward, the five of you will be the new Five Elders."
On the Empty Throne, Imu's tone was calm and utterly devoid of emotion.
The five people below were delighted.
"As for God Valley... there will be a result."
"There was a reason I chose that location as the venue for the sacrificial ceremony."
"You... just need to wait here patiently."
After Imu finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and continued:
"The Battle of God Valley is nearing its end. Your first task upon taking office is to erase everything related to God Valley, Rocks, and [Most Evil Criminal]."
After saying this, Imu left the Empty Throne.
Gazing at Imu's retreating figure.
The five people below immediately exchanged bewildered glances, recalling the Holy Land Mary Geoise!
There is a legend about the God Valley!
God Valley!
That place... for Twenty Kings over 800 years, marked the beginning of their world domination!
God Valley.
At this moment, the air itself seemed to freeze!
The Five Elders, a naval powerhouse, Air Force, and Army Admiral!
And the Admiral Level and other powerful figures from the Affiliated Nation all wore extremely solemn expressions!
The [Most Evil Criminal] killed three Admiral Level powerhouses, causing a severe imbalance on the battlefield!
For a moment, no one dared to make a move!
After all, if a fight breaks out, there is a high possibility of even greater casualties!
"I only have a grudge against the Celestial Dragons! I will kill any Celestial Dragons!"
"Just let me through!"
"Let me kill the Four Five Elders before me!"
"I won't pursue the rest!"
Just then, Rono suddenly spoke up.
He said this to Garp, Sengoku, Kong, Zephyr, and other powerful Marines!
And what the Air Force, Army Admiral, and Admiral Level from Affiliated Nation said!
For some reason, Rono felt an urgent urge to kill these old men!
After all, the power of World Government is far greater than that!
The current situation is so unfavorable for World Government!
The Immortal deep within Pangaea in Mary Geoise Pangaea Castle will surely make a move!
He is also one of the Celestial Dragons, perhaps even the highest-ranking Celestial Dragons!
This is also the biggest reason why the Celestial Dragons are able to rule this world!
The Five Elders were merely his subordinates!
Such a person is naturally a target that Rono wants to kill!
Even as a transmigrator, Rono was unaware of the true extent of Imu's strength!
All that is known is that Imu possesses the legendary [National Treasure], which has the power to destroy the world!
It can even be said with certainty that Imu is an Immortal has lived for eight hundred years!
"That's right! Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, Kong!"
"Continuing to fight will only needlessly increase casualties!"
"Still don't you understand? The World Government have lost their momentum!"
"After the war ends, there will be a change of dynasty!"
"It will be a brand new era!"
"If you're willing, I can keep you in the Navy! And you won't have to put up with the Celestial Dragons anymore!"
"How?!"
Just then, Rocks suddenly spoke up as well.
Give them some advice!
After all, Rocks was one of the very few people present who knew the truth about the World Government!
If the fight continues, the Rocks Pirates will certainly gain a huge advantage!
But deep within Pangaea Castle, there is someone else!
Rocks wanted to preserve his strength as much as possible so that he could fight that person from Pangaea Castle to the death later!
"This...!"
Upon hearing this, Garp, Sengoku, Zephyr, and the others all exchanged a glance!
That's right, these three were somewhat tempted!
After all, what happened in Golden City was still fresh in everyone's mind!
They advised the Five Elders not to care about the lives of the Celestial Dragons and to wipe out the Rocks Pirates on the spot!
They wouldn't listen to advice!
The Five Elders deserve to be forced into this situation!
But that initial spark was fleeting!
After all, everyone knows about Rocks's brutality!
He must not become the King of the World!
"Rocks! Rono!"
"If you want war, then let's fight! Enough with the nonsense!"
"Since when did it become your place as Pirate to command the Navy?"
Just then, Kong stepped forward and retorted!
As Admiral, Kong had the opportunity to learn the truth about World Government!
The Five Elders are all show and no substance!
There are still powerful figures within the World Government!
The situation is far from warranting a change of dynasty!
Upon hearing this, the Four Five Elders also showed a hint of appreciation for Kong's resolute attitude!
Unexpectedly, Kong sometimes doesn't get along with them!
In crucial moments, they prove quite reliable!
"Hmph, [Most Evil Criminal]! Rocks! Did you hear me? You're delusional!"
"If you want war, then let's fight!"
The Curly-Haired Five Elder roared angrily!
The Baldhead, kimono-clad, and Suit-Wearing Five Elder also exuded an imposing aura!
They believe this situation won't last long!
Lord Imu will definitely [Lights Out]!
Throughout the eight-hundred-year history.
There have also been many individuals like Rocks and [Most Evil Criminal] who caused enormous trouble for World Government!
However, Lord Imu has already eliminated him!
With Lord Imu around, no matter what kind of challenger we encounter, it's just a minor disturbance!
Only Lord Imu is the eternal god!
"Since that's the case, then prepare to die!"
Rono didn't want to waste any more words with these people!
Since they were unwilling, I had no choice but to unleash a massacre!
"Kill them! Get rid of them as quickly as possible!"
Rocks knew he had to get rid of these people as soon as possible!
We'll concentrate all our forces to deal with the people of Pangaea Castle!
Having said that, Rocks exuded an aura of great power!
Rono also raised his momentum to the extreme, no less Rocks!
"Kill the Five Elders! Become the new god!"
"Kill all these old men!"
"Follow Captain Rocks, Vice Captain Rono, charge!"
Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, John, and other Division Commander of the Rocks Pirates!
They also joined the charge against Rocks and Rono!
"Roger, what do we do?"
Meanwhile, Rayleigh, Gaban, Bullet, and other crew members looked at Roger.
They were a little unsure of what to do.
I came to God Valley to help Rono, not to help Rocks become the King of the World!
If this keeps going, Rocks might really become the King of the World!
"Let's fight! We just need to hold off the navy!"
"Let Rono deal with the Five Elders first!"
"We'll deal with Rocks together then!"
Roger gritted his teeth and made up his mind!
I've decided to help Rono eliminate the Five Elders first!
As for Rocks, wait until the Five Elders are killed!
Roger is preparing to personally intervene to stop Rocks!
We absolutely cannot let him become the King of the World!
Boom, boom, boom!
War has broken out again!
Roger and his crew once again managed to hold off four powerful Marine Admiral!
Even so, it has already provided a tremendous boost to the Rocks Pirates!
Six Division Commander, plus Rocks and Rono.
All we need to do is deal with the Air Force and the Army, two powerful Admiral from two World Government Affiliated Nation!
And... Four Five Elders!
It's a six-against-eight situation!
But Rono and Rocks are both Overlord-Level Powerhouse capable of taking on two opponents at once!
Boom! Boom!
A terrifying slash erupted!
Combined with the power I just acquired, Shatter the Devil Power!
Even when the two Five Elders joined forces, they were still fiercely knocked away by Rono!
"Damn it! What terrifying power!"
"If my Armament Haki had been even a fraction slower, I feel like I would have been completely Shatter!"
"Did this guy absorb the abilities of the CP0 Commander-in-Chief and the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies?"
Wipe the blood from the corner of your mouth!
The two Bald Five Elders and the Curly-Haired Five Elder, sensed that familiar power!
His eyes were filled with shock!
It can't be wrong!
That was the Strength Fruit he himself had bestowed upon the CP0 Commander-in-Chief and the Commander-in-Chief of the Three Armies — the Smash-Smash Fruit!
Are you even going to learn Devil Fruit Ability?
Just what kind of Monster is this [Most Evil Criminal]?!
In a 2v1 situation, both players still have plenty of Stamina!
Even so, we still ended up at a disadvantage!
Even the Overlord of the Sea Rocks wasn't this powerful!
Could it be that he has already surpassed Rocks?
P. S.: I was quite nervous writing this chapter, as it's close to 3000 words.
The idea that Joy Boy's body is in Imu's hands is indeed the author's own creation, without any official backing, and it's unclear whether readers will accept it.
Also, the Holy Knights are based on the original manga setting, not some major alteration!
It just doesn't have any detailed settings, only a name appears, which is perfect for brainstorming.
You can check the latest chapters of the Pirate manga for details; this name has appeared there.
