" Garp! Are these the people you met in God Valley back then?"
I never imagined that this force, which had been hidden under the World Government for so many years, was full of Celestial Dragons. I thought all Celestial Dragons were useless!
Sure enough, a power that has ruled this sea for over 800 years cannot be without its own armed forces; they do not completely trust outsiders!
Our navy is really just their henchman. When things are peaceful, the navy is righteous; when trouble comes, the navy is their henchman and accomplice!
Sengoku served as Marine Admiral and then as Fleet Admiral for many years, and he knew a lot about the inside story of the World Government and the Celestial Dragons.
He already knew about the existence of the Holy Knights. The Holy Knights were very secretive in the world of One Piece, and very few people knew about them, except for those top-tier forces.
But it's impossible for a Marine Admiral who serves the Celestial Dragons and a Fleet Admiral who liaises with the World Government not to know these things.
The Holy Knights often have the Navy involved in their operations, as seen in the God Valley Incident.
However, Sengoku was not involved in the God Valley Incident back then. Of his comrades from the same period, only Garp went there to hunt down Roger.
Afterwards, they all heard Garp talk about what happened in God Valley, including the Celestial Dragons who preyed on ordinary people and slaves!
I'd only heard about them before, and I didn't know who was who Sengoku. Now I've seen it for myself!
"Not entirely. Some are from back then, some are newcomers, and some have entered other organizations, such as Garling, who has been promoted to Five Elders!"
Their cruelty and bloodthirstiness remain unchanged and consistent; they have no regard for human life and show absolutely no reverence for it!
Perhaps! In their hearts, all humans besides the Celestial Dragons are just another kind of creature, like how we treat pigs, cows, and sheep. In their eyes, we are merely pigs, cows, and sheep with slightly higher intelligence!
Garp already knew from Vic that the Celestial Dragons were an alien species, but he couldn't tell Sengoku openly because the claim was too shocking and Sengoku might not believe it, and he couldn't provide any evidence!
Therefore, Garp could only mention it vaguely, as a way of giving Sengoku and the others a heads-up, so that they wouldn't regret or break down because of what they had done to help the Celestial Dragons when the Celestial Dragons were fully exposed!
Although the Celestial Dragons look similar to humans and can reproduce with them, they migrated to this planet from outer space and therefore do not consider themselves as people of this planet!
After wiping out all the God Realm powerhouses on this planet and taking control of it, they no longer consider themselves comparable to the planet's natives!
They live with an arrogant attitude, enjoying the sustenance provided by the humans on this planet, and treating everything on this planet as their private property!
Over time, they came to regard ordinary people just like they would pigs, cows, and sheep. If human flesh weren't so unpalatable, it would be the most common food on their tables. They never considered the native humans of this planet as their own kind!
Garp recognized several familiar faces among the arriving Holy Knights, such as Gunko and Saint Shepherd Sommers, though some had aged while others looked exactly the same as before.
Although he focused his main efforts on capturing Roger, he also witnessed the Celestial Dragons ' massacre of civilians and slaves!
A sense of justice pounded wildly in his mind, but he couldn't change anything. If he dared to take action, the entire navy would be wiped out, a crime he couldn't bear!
At most, he secretly gave Shanks to Roger, which is why he has always been reluctant to mention this momentous event that earned him the title of "hero" to his juniors!
The title of " Hero of the Marines " was more of a mockery and insult to him. He had not done anything heroic in God Valley, or he and his son Dragon had defected from the Navy, so he always felt ashamed of it!
" Kaido! That must be the legendary Holy Knights, right? They all look incredibly powerful. Have you had any contact with them?"
Looking at the powerful God's Knights, the Big Mom couldn't help but ask Kaido beside her a question.
Their pirate crew has always done a good job with intelligence gathering.
Although she had never seen any member of the Holy Knights, she knew of Holy Knights existence, but had never had any dealings with them.
Today was the first time I met them and witnessed their skills.
She was also very surprised by the strength of the Holy Knights. Although she had not yet seen the God's Knights go all out, the fact that they could kill the pirates with ease showed that their skill level was extremely high!
As for the upper limit, it will most likely reach their level, otherwise those three Five Elders wouldn't be so calm and collected now!
In fact, the Big Mom had the opportunity to meet the Holy Knights, and with her talent, it was quite possible that she could have become a member!
The young Big Mom was abandoned by her parents because of her extraordinary talent, and later she was adopted by the Sheep's House in Elbaf.
The Sheep's House was founded in Elbaf by Mother Carmel at the behest of the World Government, with the aim of spreading certain ideas and turning the descendants of the Giant Race into docile lambs!
Carmel was outwardly known as a merciful nun, and was called "Our Lady" by the world!
But in reality, Carmel was a human trafficker in disguise with 50 years of criminal experience.
She would regularly provide the World Government with the best children she had, but she never revealed it.
The World Government has protected her very well. Most of the children she provides will grow up to become CP Agent, and those with exceptional talent may even become members of the Holy Knights.
The Big Mom was a genius with that kind of opportunity; Big Mom was just lucky.
Before the young Big Mom was handed over to the World Government by Carmel, Carmel mysteriously disappeared in an accident, and her Soul-Soul Fruit power was transferred to the young Big Mom.
There's a hidden story behind this. The most likely explanation is that the Big Mom's Hunger Pangs flared up, and she ate Mother Carmel who tried to stop her, thus gaining the nun's Devil Fruit power!
Another theory is that Carmel saw Big Mom's exceptional talent, so he used his Devil Fruit ability to take over Big Mom body!
Of course, these are all speculations, and it happened a long time ago, so it's impossible to verify now. The only person who might know the truth is the Streusen that was taken from the young Big Mom in Elbaf.
For this reason, Big Mom was completely cut off from the World Government. Under the guidance and tutelage of Streusen, Big Mom quickly rose to become a powerful female pirate.
Later, Rocks won her back as a partner through a game, and from then on, Big Mom was completely cut off from the World Government!
"Contact? That's quite possible! You must have heard the news about me being captured by the Navy all the time!"
Actually, it wasn't the Navy that captured me; it was thanks to them. They, like the Five Elders, possess immortality. Having more than two of them makes them difficult to deal with!
Kaido's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and his tone was cold and hard, filled with murderous intent. When he saw these God's Knights, he could imagine himself being tied to an experimental table, having his blood drawn, and being subjected to various experiments!
The painful and humiliating memories have never faded. He wants revenge, he must get revenge, and today is the opportunity that God has given him!
