God Valley
West Blue [God Valley]
Overseas, numerous Marine warships have arrived and surrounded this island with its unique landscape.
In the center of the island are two symmetrical mountains, with extremely tall peaks, half of which pierce the clouds. The cross-section of the peaks is neat, like a pair of "Jitte". The valley is a wide open plain.
The World Government is a non- Affiliated Nation, named after the word "God," and this place is rich in resources and enjoys a high standard of living.
But this time, things have changed.
The air was no longer filled with the salty sea breeze, but with a pervasive stench of blood. The sky was overcast and dark, even though it wasn't raining.
On the island, naval troops patrolled the streets, carrying guns and swords.
"Saint Garling, I'm so happy! I always believed you would come back! These are your two sons! Aren't they adorable!"
The woman's happy laughter echoed in the air.
Beside her stood a noble-looking man dressed in fine clothes, with a head of golden hair shaped like a crescent moon.
"Yes, twins, right?"
"Yes! Please, don't leave again, come and live here with me!"
"No, not even for a living, because this island is about to disappear. Even if my chosen wife hasn't arrived yet, it doesn't mean that a lowly daughter like you can rise to the top."
Sizzle!
The merciless blade entered and withdrew from the woman's fragile body; the first glint of blood symbolized the beginning of the slaughter.
Through blurred vision, the woman lay in a pool of blood, and in the stroller beside her, the children cried because their mother had fallen.
Panic gripped the town.
"The Navy? Why are they here?"
"The navy has surrounded the entire island!"
Are there criminals hiding on the island?
"Never mind! Quickly hide the children inside!"
"Wait! What exactly do you want...?"
Bang!
Faced with the navy's violent arrest, some people tried to step forward to question them, but were shot dead.
The sight of the navy taking action against defenseless civilians fueled panic and spread rapidly throughout the island.
One young marine stood out from the crowd.
"No matter how you look at it, explaining this as just a 'military exercise' is a huge stretch!"
He found it hard to accept, but as a soldier, his personal thoughts would hinder the army's will, so he could only continue to carry out orders.
So he pointed his gun at the terrified elderly and children, while also offering words of comfort.
"Don't worry, my gun is full of tranquilizer darts. If you're willing to obey and not resist, then I won't shoot..."
"Get out of the way!!"
Faced with civilians who were unaware of what was happening and only wanted to escape, he had no choice but to shoot them down.
At that moment, he suddenly turned around and heard the broadcast.
"All marines, listen up! Put on your gas masks immediately! This is an order! I'll repeat it again, all marines, listen carefully..."
Gas mask? What's that for?
The young marine's naiveté was about to be swallowed up by the riots that were completely out of control.
Meanwhile, on the other side...
"Mother!"
"Don't worry, little Teach, don't worry, everything will be alright. Mommy and Daddy will do anything to keep you alive."
A woman with a heroic air opened her arms and hugged her young son tightly.
Even when it was just the two of them, she would tell her child, "Mommy and Daddy will let you live." Why? Because she believed in that man!
Just as she wouldn't have fallen in love with that man if she hadn't firmly believed it, and it was precisely because of this belief that the man fell in love with her...
Finally!
With the arrival of the massive naval the Jail ship at God Valley, the game of slaughtering the natives begins.
"If you haven't heard of them, can you still call yourself a Celestial Dragons! Besides the Buccaneer Tribe brat, there's also an extremely rare rabbit in this competition!"
On a makeshift stage, exquisitely decorated and extremely luxurious, Celestial Dragons, acting as a guest host, was delivering a passionate speech.
Below, even more Celestial Dragons, each with a transparent glass water tank on their head, were cheering enthusiastically.
"Found after eight hundred years! The Davy Clan!" The host waved his hand, and the slaves of the Davy Clan were forcibly dragged onto the stage.
These people were covered in wounds, enduring the pain, while countless Celestial Dragons below hurled insults and mockery.
"You are a despicable race!"
"You have never been loved! Just die alone!"
"These guys should be wiped out!"
"Hey! Let's make today a celebration!"
Some of the Celestial Dragons have already started throwing weapons onto the stage. The game hasn't even started yet, but the Celestial Dragons don't need to follow the rules.
Teach nestled in her mother's arms, staring in terror at the shadowy figures below, which looked like demons baring their fangs and claws.
"It's amazing you were able to find them, Garling."
"This is fate."
Saturn, one of the Five Elders, was also there, along with Garling; the two silently watched what lay ahead.
The atmosphere was already electric, incredibly lively. For the Celestial Dragons, holding the Hunting Competition a year early was especially exciting.
The matches will be broadcast simultaneously to Holy Land Mary Geoise via multiple Den Den Den Mushi.
Let those Celestial Dragons who couldn't attend watch.
"Next, let me explain the game rules! Scoring points for hunting rare rabbits..."
Whew~ Whew!!
Suddenly, one Celestial Dragons raised his head, and then, immediately afterward, more Celestial Dragons raised their heads.
Soon, their faces were filled with shock or blankness.
A massive stone slab hurtled rapidly from the horizon! A long trail of air followed behind it, and a shadow swept over the distant forest.
It was roughly the size of a cloud, and because it was flying at such a high speed, it made an airburst sound.
Faster and faster! Closer and closer!
And its altitude decreased! Before people could react, it suddenly lowered its angle, falling to the ground at an angle like a meteorite!
Boom!!
Smoke and dust mingled with the explosion, shaking the God Valley!
The Celestial Dragons, who was explaining the game rules, froze, and the microphone slipped from his hand.
In the distance, within that thick cloud of gray smoke, several black shadows of varying sizes appeared and disappeared, swaying with the smoke blown by the wind.
"That bastard Kaya! He was driving way too fast, I almost couldn't take it!"
"Shut up! The sooner the better!"
Why is everyone staring at us?
"Because a superstar is here!"
"Where is Kaya?"
"Holy crap! Rocks is gone too!"
Charlotte Linlin, Newgate, and others emerged from the smoke, drawing everyone's attention.
Whether they were Celestial Dragons, slaves specially transported here, or natives of God Valley, they all stared in disbelief.
Loki leaped out, his massive body strikingly visible as he touched his hands together.
"Come on! Let's make a complete ruckus!"
