In an instant, an incredibly loud roar resounded through the sky.
The dark clouds in the sky had dispersed somewhat at this moment.
Beneath the meteorite, a powerful aftershock spread outwards.
Those Celestial Dragons standing not far away were all blasted away by the aftershock, their head coverings shattering with a crash.
One by one, they coughed up blood in mid-air.
Their eyes rolled back, and they all lost consciousness, without exception!
This shows just how weak these pigs really are!
Upon seeing this, a group of CP0 officers immediately rushed towards them and caught them one by one as they flew through the air.
The aftershock almost killed them; if they had been thrown directly to the ground, they might have been killed instantly.
"Boom!"
After another tremendous roar, the huge meteorite finally shattered with everyone's combined efforts.
Countless pebbles fell in all directions.
The Five Elders and the rest of the Navy looked up, but the sunlight was still blocked.
There was still a huge dark shadow above them, but this time it was no longer a falling meteorite, but a small island, silently floating in the air.
At the same time, a sound came from the sky.
"Captain Xia Chen! When did you start planning this move?"
"You can actually create meteorites out of thin air? Just how much more do you know that we don't know about?!"
"Look how scared those guys down there are, their faces have turned pale!"
"I feel like you could have easily come alone; we seem a bit redundant!"
Nusjuro heard this below, narrowed his eyes slightly, and the Kitetsu I flashed in his hand.
Another blue blade of light shot upwards.
And this time, the result was exactly as he had hoped; the small island was split in two the instant the blade touched it.
Mmm! That's it!
Saint Nusjuro nodded almost imperceptibly.
This is his true strength!
There must have been something wrong with that rock!
At this moment, many black dots also fell from above.
Everyone looked up, their eyes slightly narrowed.
One by one, familiar faces appeared before them.
Rocks, Newgate, Shiki, Linlin,...
Because of Shiki's Float-Float Fruit ability, they didn't fall directly from the sky, but rather descended slowly at a steady pace.
Before long, they landed about fifty meters away from the Five Elders.
Rocks looked at the Five Elders and numerous Marines before him, a bloodthirsty smile creeping across his lips.
"Judging from how respectful that old guy Kong is to you, you must be one of the Five Elders of the World Government, right?"
"I never expected that this tiny God Valley could attract you all here. It's quite a surprise!"
Rocks was indeed a little puzzled. Although he had never met the Five Elders, he knew that these five were the highest power center of the World Government.
He usually stays in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, never appears in public, and controls everything in the world behind the scenes.
But the fact that he was able to attract them all out today was truly beyond his expectations!
"Could it be because of Xia Chen?"
The idea arose involuntarily in Rocks's mind and quickly became unstoppable.
If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Xia Chen's problem.
After all, if he were one of the Five Elders, he certainly wouldn't sit still if he heard that someone could kill Three Admirals as easily as slaughtering chickens and dogs.
It's best to deal with these unstable molecules!
Just like now, he is equally wary of Xia Chen and is also thinking about how to kill Xia Chen after the war ends!
The arrival of these Five Elders is just in time; they can deal with Xia Chen, and when they both suffer heavy losses, Rocks will be the one who benefits.
Thinking of this, Rocks said calmly:
"Looks like you're afraid of Xia Chen, the other captain of our pirate crew, aren't you? Otherwise, you five old guys wouldn't have come out in force!"
"But... even if you all came, so what? You'd still be easy prey for Xia Chen, wouldn't you?"
Upon hearing this, all the officers behind Rocks looked at him with strange eyes, their gazes revealing a hint of surprise and doubt.
These words, seemingly a compliment to Xia Chen Xia Chen, were actually a way of drawing criticism towards him!
In that instant, many cadres understood Rocks's thoughts, and a chill ran down their spines!
This very approach of Rocks's was the reason why none of these officials were willing to genuinely follow him.
To achieve one's goals, any means necessary!
The Rocks Pirates were less a pirate crew and more an organization banding together to fight against the Navy and the World Government.
Otherwise, why would Rocks the only one among the Rocks Pirates' famous members who died in God Valley, while the others survived?
Normally, these cadres would be willing to follow Rocks's orders.
But when faced with a situation that threatens their own lives, they all leave Rocks without the slightest hesitation!
Rocks himself was aware of the state of his pirate crew, but he never tried to change it.
The reason for this is that he doesn't care. In his view, his subordinates are merely tools to help him ascend to the throne of the King of the World.
Partners? He doesn't need them!
Upon hearing Rocks' words, the Five Elders and Kong narrowed their eyes, but they did not say anything immediately. Instead, they scanned Rocks and the others with their gazes.
"Um?"
A hint of doubt appeared in Saturn 'Saint Saturn eyes as he turned to Rocks and the others and asked:
"Since you're praising Xia Chen so highly, where is he anyway?"
More than a month has been more than enough time for them to find out about Xia Chen, and they naturally know what Xia Chen looks like.
However, they did not find Xia Chen in the crowd.
"What? You lot are so eager to see me?"
A voice suddenly came from a certain direction, Five Elders and the others all trembled and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
Suddenly, a figure appeared on the platform where the six Devil Fruit were placed.
All six treasure chests containing Devil Fruit were now opened, and the six Devil Fruit inside were nowhere to be found.
In Xia Chen's hand was a Devil Fruit covered in blue dragon scales.
"When?!"
Saint Saturn and the others all wore expressions of horror.
Among so many of them, not a single one Observation Haki to detect exactly when Xia Chen appeared there.
In fact, if Xia Chen hadn't made a sound, they wouldn't even know where Xia Chen was.
" Geppo!"
Just then, one of the CP0 members below the platform leaped up and charged towards Xia Chen using Geppo, his right fist wrapped in Armament Haki.
"Um?"
Looking at this CP0, Xia Chen couldn't help but show a hint of surprise. Then, he slowly raised his hand and said calmly:
"Since when do insects dare to be so arrogant?"
