Be a Spectator and Witness the Fall of a God!
On the vast ocean, few people know that Fire Fist Ace's father was none other than Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King who ushered in the Great Pirate Era!
Gol D. Roger possessed an extremely rare Observation Haki ability— the Voice of All Things.
Ace was Roger's son. Although he did not fully inherit this special talent, his Observation Haki was also extremely special, allowing him to sense a person's aura through all things.
At this moment, in Ace's perception, Ivan's aura was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, even surpassing that of his Pops!
Without a doubt, a person with such a spirit must be Conqueror's Haki Devil Fruit User, and the person who appears in the Sabaody Archipelago wearing a mask can only be a member of the Shadow Garden!
Finally, Ace deduced from some details that the guy in front of him must be the Fox.
So the question is, what is the Fox trying to do by suddenly appearing in the Sabaody Archipelago?
Thinking back to what the Fox had done, Ace felt a chill run down his spine.
Could it be that the God Slayer has returned to kill gods again?!
Thinking of this, Ace felt the flames burning even hotter within him. "Fox, can I join you in what you're planning to do? I happen to have a grudge against the Celestial Dragons too!"
His younger brother Sabo was killed by a Celestial Dragons's cannon fire, a tragedy that haunted him for the rest of his life!
Ivan could roughly guess why Ace was so sure he was the Fox; it was probably because of his special Observation Haki.
Now that their identities have been exposed, there's no need to hide them anymore.
Ivan's expression was serious; he neither agreed nor refused.
"You may have a grudge against the Celestial Dragons and want revenge, which is why you want to assassinate Celestial Dragons. But before that, let me ask you, can you bear the consequences of assassinating Celestial Dragons?"
Without hesitation, Ace clenched his fist and exclaimed excitedly, "Of course I can!"
"The consequences I'm talking about won't just be you." Ivan shook his head slightly.
"After killing Celestial Dragons, you will be hunted down by the World Government, which will definitely implicate your family and friends."
I remember you're now Whitebeard's son and Garp's grandson. Are you sure your actions won't implicate them?
Upon hearing this, Ace fell silent, a lingering fear finally surfacing in his heart.
As the possessor of Conqueror's Haki, he is not afraid of death, but he must not implicate others.
Both his Pops and grandfather were extremely good to him, and he couldn't let a moment of impulsiveness lead them into a desperate situation.
As for whether the World Government could kill the Strongest Man on the sea and the pirate hero, Ace had no doubt. He knew that the World Government's power was far greater than he had imagined!
Seeing Ace fall silent, Ivan neither mocked nor looked down on him; he simply walked past him and patted him on the shoulder.
"Go back, Fire Fist Ace. This grand performance is ultimately not something you can participate in."
We are the Shadow Garden, lurking in the Shadow, hunting the Shadow. We are darkness itself, and fear no threat!
So, Fire Fist Ace, just stand by as an insignificant spectator and witness the fall of a god!
After saying that, Ivan ignored Ace and walked straight towards the hotel.
While he was strolling around, he had already created several clones. He only needed to wait for these clones to find the locations of all the Celestial Dragons before he could make his move!
Behind him, Ace clenched his fists, flames blazing above his head, his gaze fixed on Ivan's retreating figure with a complex expression.
Ace admitted defeat.
Compared to the Shadow Garden, his actions in the New World seemed like child's play.
No wonder this man has such great ambition; their goal from the very beginning must have been to overthrow this old world!
This man is a monster!
Back at the inn, Robin stood by the window, her long legs crossed, her shoulders leaning against the wall.
"Are you sure it's okay to let Fire Fist Ace know about our plan?"
Ivan walked to Robin's side and stood beside her, his gaze fixed on Area 1 through the window.
"It's alright. Ace believes his brother died because of the Celestial Dragons, and besides, he's the son of the Pirate King, so he would never expose our identities."
Besides, so what if I'm exposed? Even if Kizaru arrives, he can't stop me from killing those pigs!
Robin thought of the information about the Fox, especially its special spatial teleportation ability, and immediately felt relieved.
That's right, Tanuki was able to slaughter the entire upper echelons of Water 7 while being pursued by Kizaru.
The Fox was also able to assassinate the Celestial Dragons was completely defenseless, while being pursued by Kizaru.
Once you know the Celestial Dragons' location, the latter is much simpler than the former!
Several days later, Ivan's Shadow Clone dissipated one by one, and information about the Sabaody Archipelago surfaced in his mind.
Ivan knew the locations of the Celestial Dragons, as well as the locations of gangs and pirate crews in the Uncharted Territories.
Everything is ready, except for the final push!
The east wind soon arrived, and on this day, the largest slave auction in Zone 1 was once again held in a grand manner.
Before heading to the auction, Ivan further enhanced Robin, teaching her the Transformation Technique. The two then randomly found two wealthy men who had committed numerous crimes, dealt with them, and disguised themselves as the wealthy men to enter the auction venue.
The wealthy man Ivan found was quite well-off and sat in a relatively prominent position. To Ivan's surprise, the Celestial Dragons' seats were not far from his.
However, perhaps because of the previous assassination attempt, the Celestial Dragons have strengthened their defenses.
The Celestial Dragons were surrounded by Cipher Pol agents wearing masks, and their seats had been changed from luxurious sofas to more sturdy Seastone chairs.
Protected by Seastone on all sides, even the strongest warriors on the sea would find it difficult to break through this tortoise shell.
However, Ivan remained completely unfazed. Even with the turtle shell protecting him, he had plenty of ways to kill the Celestial Dragons inside!
The auction began quickly!
The first to appear is a nobleman from the East Blue, a master of musical instruments, with a starting bid of twenty million Beli.
The second item was two tall Fish-Man slaves, which were auctioned for two million.
The third and fourth slaves were auctioned off one by one. When the fifth slave appeared, Ivan's expression turned slightly serious. He saw that the fifth slave was a tall, muscular old man with Whitebeard.
Through details such as the glasses and the scar on his right eye, Ivan recognized the slave's true identity— Pluton Rayleigh!
Driven by a perverse sense of humor, Ivan offered 500,000 and bought the unwanted old man outright.
As Rayleigh was led to the backfield, he looked at Ivan with a meaningful gaze. To his surprise, the obese tycoon also looked at him with a meaningful gaze.
Rayleigh was taken aback; something felt off!
Soon, one slave after another was auctioned off, until finally, the highlight of the auction arrived: a Fish-Man who had been captured unexpectedly!
Upon seeing the Fish-Man, Saint Charlos, seated on his Seastone chair, finally made his move, immediately driving the price to the maximum.
He hissed, and said in a voice that sounded like snot stuck in his throat:
I'll offer 500 million Beli!
Just when everyone thought no one else wanted to bid, a calm voice suddenly rang out from the side:
I'll bet 510 million Beli!
