The Quincy Headquarters

As soon as Kaya arrived at the God Valley, he did one thing: infuse Reishi into the shadows.

He reconstructed a space within the shadows and used them to transfer all the living people on God Valley Island into it.

However, the Shadow Realm is currently only the simplest space, a void and chaotic void.

"Wait! So there are other people here?" Maron caught the crucial information.

Kaya clapped his hands, and the dark shadows on the ground disappeared.

More people appeared, including original citizens of God Valley, slaves brought from Mary Geoise, and Celestial Dragons and Marines.

Those who possessed these identities lay on the ground, their numbers vast and densely packed.

"They actually brought them all in." Kaido looked around, sweat beading on his forehead.

Kaido was very glad he hadn't gone with Charlotte Linlin; otherwise, if he had missed what happened later, he might as well have just died.

Gloriosa breathed a sigh of relief.

The battles became increasingly outrageous; if the people on the island hadn't entered the shadow world, they would probably all have perished.

"So?" John asked tentatively.

"Let's rebuild a nation right here," Kaya, a blue light gleaming in his eyes, "A nation belonging to the Quincy."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire space began to shake violently.

Everyone was instinctively startled.

Then they saw the Reishi of the shadow world emerge, visible to the naked eye, like a group of animals running on the ground and flying in the sky.

The Spiritual Power was integrated under Kaya's control and materialized from pure Reishi energy.

Simply put... he's building by hand!

A tall, silver-white building rises from the ground, supported by massive stone pillars, its four corners slightly upturned, resembling a spire.

The Reishi spread across the ground like tiles, fading the blackness and turning it entirely white.

The blackness rose from the bottom up, spreading from the center and extending into the distance, stopping just before touching the sky.

At the same time, more buildings appeared, with different shapes, resembling castles or ancient cities.

The earth is pure white, and the sky is pure black. The two colors meet at the horizon without any transition; they are simply divided by a straight line.

After countless silver-white buildings, seemingly frozen in time, appeared, the world lit up.

Amid the commotion, the people who had been unconscious gradually awoke, dragging their heavy heads as they got up from the ground.

When they opened their eyes and saw this completely unfamiliar country, their minds were blank.

"What... what..."

Where is this place?

"Wasn't I in God Valley?"

"I remember now! The Navy came to God Valley to arrest people, and I ran away with my family!"

"I am a navy officer! Then suddenly a huge hole opened up in the ground, and I was swallowed up!"

"Damn it! Where's the navy? Where did they go? Protect us now! Do you guys want to die?!"

"Mommy! I want my mommy!"

"Adam? Where have you gone, Adam!"

As people awoke, the world's tranquility was shattered, and it instantly became noisy.

Fear of unfamiliar environments, fear of the absence of important people, and incomprehensible things can all lead to emotional breakdowns.

In addition to these, there are the Celestial Dragons.

The World Government has indeed suffered a great loss; those who came to this island either left their bodies outside or remained alive here.

"My world is better off quieter."

Suddenly, a soul-shaking pressure descended from the sky, and under the irresistible force of gravity, everyone was pressed to the ground, unable to move!

Kaya stood atop a silver palace that rose from the ground, looking down upon the people.

The person who came in with him was right behind him.

"Ugh! That's really scary, it feels like the sky is collapsing!" John whispered.

"Haven't you noticed yet? This space is filled with Reishi, Reishi almost liquefied." Maron reached out and grasped the air, as if he could feel the dampness.

"Is that the power you use? I can feel it now too," Newgate suddenly said.

"Newgate, why don't you become Quincy too? It'll only bring benefits, no drawbacks," Gloriosa suggested.

"If you can become Sternritter, you'll also get the Schrift!" Ganzui added.

"Forget it, you can enjoy this good fortune yourselves." Newgate slung his naginata over his shoulder and said calmly, "I'm just here to rescue people."

Save lives?

The others were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening.

Yeah! Everyone came here to help Rocks, not to really start a war with the World Government. But where is Rocks? Is that guy dead?

Suddenly, they all sensed a Haki.

"Where the hell did this bastard come from?!"

A figure stepped out from the crowd—none other than Rocks. He was rubbing his head, looking around with a sense of existential unease.

His last memory was of being pierced through the body by a sword that fell from the sky.

He touched his chest; it still ached slightly.

He raised his head, squinted, and saw the top of the palace at the very front, where Kaya and the others were.

He wondered if they had already left the God Valley?

At this time...

"Dad!!"

A soft voice, filled with endless longing and fear, rang out, belonging to a child.

Rocks was startled and quickly turned to look.

At first glance, his eyes welled up with tears. This man, who had traversed the seas for decades, was suddenly touched by the softest part of his heart.

"Teach! Alice!"

Rocks rushed forward, and no one could see his speed. When he stopped, he was carrying two more people.

Just now, Teach was curled up in Alice's arms, suddenly saw Rocks and couldn't help but cry out.

It was fortunate that Kaya canceled his Spiritual Pressure, otherwise they would not have been able to make a sound at all. The scene of the family of three reuniting was witnessed by everyone.

"Wow, what a tough guy with a soft heart!" John shrugged and chuckled.

"So touching~" Gloriosa's eyes welled up with tears.

"Hmph! He doesn't resemble him at all!" Newgate said after sizing up Teach, though a slight smile still played on his lips.

But heartwarming moments never last long.

"Damn bastards!"

"How dare you? How dare you do this? You should be executed!"

"This is offensive, this is sinful!"

"Navy! Charge now! Capture all those who harmed the Celestial Dragons! I want to kill them myself!"

Suddenly, a man with blood still flowing from his head jumped out, pointing and roaring angrily.

Judging from the design of his spacesuit and his distorted, ugly face, there is no doubt that he is a Celestial Dragons.

There was no glass fish tank above its head; it was probably broken in the chaos, and the shards cut its face.

Ordinary people instinctively feel fear when they see Celestial Dragons.

The naval soldiers present, some of whom had landed on the island and others who were on warships outside the island, were all brought in here.

A naval officer was terrified at the sight.

What the hell?! Rocks' still there! They haven't even figured out what's going on, how dare they yell like that? Why don't they just play dead for now?!

The naval forces themselves suffered little damage, and just as they were hesitating about whether to let the Celestial Dragons intervene...

Rocks drew his sword, his eyes cold.

"Kaya, I don't care about anything else, killing a Celestial Dragons will satisfy my anger, you don't have any objections, right?"
