I agreed to win with Roger, but the guy I met was too young Chapter 029

The edge of God Valley was filled with the acrid smell of gunpowder.

The young Kaido had just eaten the Fish-Fish Fruit in God Valley and hadn’t fully mastered his abilities. At this moment, in his half-dragon form, he was rampaging through the ruins, thrashing wildly, spewing ineffective heat breath from his mouth, and sweeping away several miscellaneous Marine soldiers with his tail.

Rhett crouched in the blood mist, stroking his chin, observing this “little worm” with great interest. He could already half-dragonize right after eating the fruit.

(Inner monologue: Oh, isn’t this the future “Strongest Creature”? Why does he look… so goofy right now?)

“Hey, kid.” Rhett’s voice suddenly came from all directions, startling Kaido, who swiveled his dragon head left and right.

“Who?! Get out here!”

“Your dad.”

Whoosh! A whip formed from blood mist lashed violently across Kaido’s dragon butt!

“Aow—!!” Kaido yelped in pain, his dragon body twisting, almost tumbling into the sea.

Rhett’s figure flickered in and out of sight within the blood mist, a wicked grin on his face: “Little worm, your captain Rocks is about to be beaten to death. Aren’t you going to help him?”

Kaido’s eyes widened in fury: “Of course, I’m going! But you bastard—”

“But you’re too weak.” Rhett interrupted him, the blood mist suddenly transforming into a giant hand that gripped the dragon’s neck. “You don’t even know how to use Haki, and you call yourself the ‘Strongest Creature’?”

Kaido struggled wildly, his dragon claws tearing at the blood mist, but it felt like hitting cotton.

“Captain Rocks… I’m coming to help!”

As soon as he roared, he suddenly felt his feet stop—

Whoosh!

A wisp of crimson mist silently coiled around his ankle.

“Hmm? What the… Aow!!!”

Kaido’s eyes widened abruptly. A searing pain shot through his ankle, and his skin began to rot at a visible rate!

“Blood Mist: Bone Erosion!”

Rhett’s voice came from all directions, laced with malicious amusement.

Kaido frantically shook his leg, but the blood mist clung to him like a gangrenous growth, corroding his flesh, and even showing signs of spreading throughout his body!

Rhett felt a significant increase in absorbed vitality. The more powerful the creature’s life force, the more life the mist could extract.

“Bastard! Get out here!!”

He angrily swung his kanabo, but only dispersed a ball of mist.

“Tsk tsk, is that all?”

Rhett’s figure flickered in and out of sight within the blood mist, casually tossing a stick made of blood mist in his hand.

“Oi, kid, didn’t your captain teach you—to always keep your Observation Haki active?”

Before his words even finished—

Bang!!!

A muffled thud, as a blunt strike landed precisely on the back of Kaido’s head!

“Ergh!!”

Kaido’s vision went black. His dragon scales didn’t even have time to harden before he face-planted into the mud.

Rhett casually walked over and nudged the unconscious Kaido with his foot:

“Tsk tsk tsk, the future ‘Strongest Creature’? Right now, you’re just a goofy idiot who got clubbed.”

He squatted down, casually pilfered the treasure Kaido had just snatched from his embrace, and then used blood mist to corrode a few words onto his back:

“Was here~”

He managed to leave his mark even before Oden, hehehe.

Suddenly, a wave of air almost knocked Rhett over. Rhett looked towards the main battlefield.

“Do you… truly believe you can kil—kill—me!!!!?”

Rocks slowly rose from the ruins, blood dripping from his tattered clothes, yet unable to conceal the suffocating pressure he exuded.

His Conqueror’s Haki was no longer wild but condensed into almost tangible black lightning, coiling around his entire body. Even the air twisted under his oppressive aura.

Garp’s fists trembled slightly, and Roger’s blade lowered by an inch—they felt it, this man’s spirit was ascending to an unprecedented peak.

“I am the king who will overturn the world… You are merely stumbling blocks of the era!”

Rocks’ pupils turned completely black. His Conqueror’s Haki was no longer a shockwave but transformed into a domain, engulfing the entire battlefield!

—“Conqueror’s Domain: Endless Dark Realm!”

In an instant, all the strong individuals within it, whether Roger, Garp, or Rayleigh, Jabba, were all suppressed by an invisible force, their movements slowing for a moment!

“Observation… is being interfered with?!” Rayleigh rarely showed such surprise.

“It’s not interference…” Roger grinned, but his eyes gleamed with fighting spirit, “It’s being suppressed!”

Rocks’ Conqueror’s Haki had surpassed mere intimidation; it could temporarily suppress an opponent’s perception and actions!

On Rocks’ chest, the spiral tattoo began to spin frantically, like a bottomless black hole. The surrounding ruins, seawater, and even light were gradually being swallowed!

—“Great Maelstrom: God’s Devour!”

The entire God Valley began to collapse, countless abysses cracked open in the ground, seawater poured in, and black fissures tore open the sky!

“He’s absorbing the entire island!” Rhett’s blood mist was pulled violently, his face changing drastically. “This guy… wants to drag everyone down with him!”

Rocks’ body began to disintegrate, but his laughter grew even more maniacal:

“Kuhahaha! Roger! Garp! Do you think you’ve won?”

“World Government… Celestial Dragons… the D. clan… you are all being played by fate!”

“My will… will never disappear!”

His physical body was breaking down, but his Conqueror’s Haki condensed into a black phantom, soaring straight into the sky!

—“One day… someone will inherit my ambition! And overturn this world!”

Rhett saw this scene and immediately took off running.

Hey!! There’s a treasure chest, he casually grabbed it.

Rayleigh, Jabba, and the others retreated towards the Oro Jackson.

Rhett’s mist condensed, being frantically absorbed by the black hole, but Rhett didn’t dare to stop. If he stopped, the Jackson might be torn apart. He compressed himself into a shield outside the ship. Rhett was certain that the energy he expended in three days wasn’t as much as he used in this single moment.

Everyone released their Conqueror’s Haki to resist the violent, destructive force, but the ship remained firmly embedded around God Valley because their captain was still inside. There was no way they would leave.

After the first impact ended, Rayleigh and Rhett instantly rushed towards God Valley. Jabba continued to resist the impact on the ship.

“Now! Divine Departure!!” Roger roared, his Ace longsword wrapped in Conqueror’s Haki, slashing directly at Rocks’ throat!

“Fist of Justice: Galaxy Impact!” Garp’s fist blasted out, compressing the air into a vacuum!

“Dark King: Sword of Demise!” Rayleigh’s sword light tore through the darkness!

“Mist God Style: Eternal Night!” Rhett’s blood mist transformed into countless blades, sealing Rocks’ retreat!

—“Boom!!!”

In a earth-shattering explosion, Rocks’ figure was completely engulfed.

God Valley… sank.

The Rocks Pirates, seeing their captain defeated, retreated from God Valley. The Marines could only watch from afar, as they no longer had the strength to pursue the pirates. Both sides were almost completely burned out.

Everyone jumped onto the surrounding floating wooden planks. These were fragments of Marine warships that had been shattered by the impact. Rhett’s eyes swept over them.

Oh, the Scientific Defense God was still alive.

Goodness, the legendary tough guy, not bad at all.

The Scientific Defense God looked at the Roger Pirates: “The World Government owes you a favor. The World Government will revoke your bounties. Thank you very much for your assistance.”

(Rhett in his Jerry form pointed at the Five Elders) “See, he has to thank us.”

He no longer considered why the Roger Pirates had appeared. If it weren’t for the Roger Pirates, Rocks might truly have succeeded. This no longer allowed him to speculate on any conspiracy theories, because it didn’t make sense.

The Roger Pirates had no need to fight for the World Government. This favor was too great.

But the old geezers of the World Government would never kneel and thank the Roger Pirates. Rhett felt pretty good about it; with this great favor, it would be convenient for anything they did in the future.

Rhett felt that as long as the Roger Pirates didn’t uncover the truth of the world, they could pretty much walk sideways in this world. An ancient, un-obligated Shichibukai, perhaps?
