Chapter 200 The Celestial Dragons' Atonement
The moment Im's expression changed, Vera knew she had guessed correctly.
The tornado created by [Weather Vane] won't hold Im for too long, but it'll be enough for Violet to launch an attack.
The people outside the tornado had barely adjusted to the sudden gale when they looked up and saw a dark sword aura suddenly appear, bursting out of the storm like a laser beam, and then slashing horizontally, cutting the tornado in half!
Two figures descended from the sky, Shanks' gaze quickly searching for the one belonging to Val.
Phew—thankfully, I wasn't injured.
"Lord Im?!"
Shanks had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard a voice beside him filled with fear and disbelief.
Satan Saint stared in shock, his eyes wide, and felt an indescribable fear as he looked at the bleeding wound on Im's chest.
There's no sign of recovery, how is that possible?!
It was Im who bestowed upon the Five Elders supreme power, an immortal body, and terrifying regenerative abilities. In the heart of Satan, Im's power was enough to be called that of a god.
God cannot shed blood.
But Im started bleeding.
Who exactly is that woman? What happened inside the tornado in less than a minute?
Admittedly, Im's wounds were not serious. For the marines and pirates present, even a careless mistake during regular training could easily result in a similarly serious injury.
But Im is a powerful figure who has stood behind the Five Elders for the past hundred years, stirring up trouble and wiping out an entire race with a wave of his hand!
At this very moment, however, she was injured by Violet.
Having not felt injury or pain for a long time, Im raised his hand and touched his chest, his expression somewhat blank.
"What is this? Hm, what's wrong?"
Red, with a metallic smell—is that blood? Is it blood flowing from her body?!
She's injured?
Violet met Im's gaze without retreating, her body slightly lowered, her domineering aura and killing intent swirling freely in the space. She placed her hand on the Shadow Sword again, the pendant Alice had given her swaying gently beneath the hilt.
The powerful sword energy rushed straight towards Im, and the terrifying sword energy that seemed to cleave space itself attracted everyone's attention.
Im's strange concentric eyes reflected the sword light, and the next second, her black figure vanished into thin air before the sword energy arrived.
Bang!
The sword energy, unimpeded, shot out until it crashed into one of the two iconic towering mountains of God Valley.
One of the two mountains was severed by Lox, who was under the control of the Black Transformation, while the remaining mountain was also destroyed by Violet's sword energy at this moment.
Violet's lips twitched as she watched the mountain collapse with a rumble, and she sheathed her Shadow Sword with a guilty conscience.
...Looks like God Valley will have to change its name from now on, cough!
Satan was stunned when Lord Im disappeared so suddenly. Looking at Violet, who still showed no signs of fatigue, he deeply doubted which side truly possessed the ability to be immortal.
Satan Saint secretly activated his ability, preparing to teleport away like Im.
Just then, a cold blue light flashed, and Newgate, recovering from his shock, used his Frost Staff to freeze Satan Saint into a block of ice.
"Newgate, you bastard!"
"Let us go, Newgate!"
"roar……"
Unexpectedly, Newgate launched an attack while they were distracted by Violet's sword aura! Linlin, Kaido, and Rocks, who were frozen together with only their heads sticking out, roared in anger at the same time.
Newgate shrugged: "I already warned you to keep your distance."
Don't these guys know how fast they move and how chaotic the scene is when they fight? It's already quite an achievement that he managed to freeze Rocks at the right moment, as for having two extra accessories...
"Anyway, you two are tough and won't get frostbite."
After Newgate finished speaking, he looked at Vera and asked, "Can we just feed this mushroom directly?"
Vera nodded.
"Let me do it! Let me do it!" Garp, who was circling the frozen Satan Saint, immediately raised his hand upon hearing this. "This is the kind of thing I'm best at!"
Seeing the enthusiastic Karp, Newgate took a deep breath and decided it was better to do it himself.
As Violet ate the food to replenish her energy, she felt a sense of frustration, neither here nor there.
She never expected that Im would slip away at the last minute.
Although she successfully confirmed her guess and left a wound on Im that was difficult to heal in a short time, the wound could really only be considered a superficial injury at most.
Violet was prepared to go through a fierce battle to make the Celestial Dragons, led by Im, understand that they could not gain any advantage from them and would then withdraw on their own.
Unexpectedly, Im didn't even have the idea of fighting her. Just because she lost a little blood, she actually abandoned Satan and ran away.
this……
All Violet could say was that Im had survived for so many years with her infinite regeneration ability that, let alone a life-or-death battle, she probably hadn't been injured in hundreds of years. As a result, she panicked so much that she didn't even have the idea of taking advantage of Violet's poor condition after fighting many battles to try to eliminate this threat in one fell swoop.
This is the last and best opportunity for Im and the Five Elders to silence them. If Violet ever faces them again, she won't be in such a sorry state.
Violet shook her head, worried about the Celestial Dragons' intelligence.
etc!
"And what about the other Five Elders?"
"Rocks!"
Before he finished speaking, John, Wang Zhi, Xiong, and other crew members, including Rayleigh from Roger's pirate crew, rushed over.
They bore the marks of battle, and Rayleigh, who was at the forefront, instinctively placed his hand on his weapon when he saw Satan Saint frozen in ice.
“You…” John stared intently, then exclaimed incredulously, “You… you’ve captured one of the Five Elders?!”
"Wait, Captain, what's going on with Linlin and Kaido?!"
Roger dusted himself off: "Haha, that's a long story."
As they were talking, Newgate had already fed all the roasted green mushrooms in his hand to Lox. Lox's black wings folded back, his sharp beast-like fangs disappeared, and his lifeless eyes, filled with anger, slowly closed.
John: "The captain is dead?"
Kaido, frozen back-to-back: "What?! The captain's dead?!"
Lingling immediately said, "Then the remaining fruits of the captain are mine!"
John: "Then I want the captain's treasure."
Shiki: "I'll take the Sword of Gibber."
Newgate: "..."
Newgate: "Hey, guys... isn't it a bit inappropriate to say something like that at a time like this?"
"Stop pretending." John scoffed. "Tell me what you want. If it's the captain's treasure, then let me make this clear: I'm not giving it up."
Newgate: "...I actually wanted to remind you that the captain has opened his eyes."
John & Shiki & Linlin & Kaido: "..."
Lockes raised his eyes, his hand shattering the thick ice around him. He slowly swept his intensely imposing gaze over the crew members who were spreading rumors of his death and dividing up the spoils, silencing them all before walking toward Violet.
"Welcome back, Lox."
Lox was silent for two seconds: "I owe you three favors, kid."
“Really? I’ll remember that,” Violet said with a smile. “I’ll use it when the time comes.”
"Well, for the first favor, I'll handle this Five Elders matter."
What do you plan to do with him?
Violet looked up at the sky, which was gradually returning to normal as Im left: "To fulfill a promise."
*
After a major battle, the Sword of Giebeck was towed to the dock for repairs, and Val, Shanks, and the Rocks family squeezed into the armored ship and returned to the destroyed island.
Looking at the desolate and barren state of the once bustling island, Alice slowly closed her eyes, concealing the intense hatred in her heart.
With a bang, Lox threw the block of ice containing the Satan Saint at the grave where Vil buried the islanders.
Violet took out the prepared [Jelly Salad], then took out the Fire Wand and melted the ice on Satan's head.
"You lowly people, how dare you... Waaah!"
As soon as Satan Saint emerged from the ice, he began to curse loudly at the group. Lox stepped forward and dislocated his jaw. Then he beckoned to Violet, who handed him a [jelly salad]. Lox didn't care whether Satan Saint was willing or able to swallow it, and simply shoved several pieces of jelly salad into his mouth.
Saint Satan was furious.
These guys actually captured him alive!
Why didn't Lord Im send anyone to rescue him?!
After Lox finished feeding him, Violet said, "I want to ask him a few questions."
Lox clicked his tongue, but still put Satan Saint's chin back on.
Violet: "Why did you kill these islanders? They are neither pirates nor members of the David family."
Satan Saint scoffed dismissively: "They're nothing but a bunch of vermin. No matter how many you kill, they'll just multiply again in the next second."
"You're not from the David clan, you're... fighting for those islanders?" Satan Saint didn't believe it. "No, you couldn't possibly be just a descendant of ordinary islanders."
As a Celestial Dragon, he placed too much faith in bloodlines. Celestial Dragons were inherently noble and superior to all things, and the surname of the Five Elders was even higher than that of all Celestial Dragons. The lowly commoners of the lower realms, the David family and the D family, might garner some attention from him, but as he said, everyone else was less than insects in his eyes.
How could he possibly lose to the offspring of an insect?!
Violet ignored Satan Saint's words: "I promised these people that I would make you apologize at their graves."
Satan Saint: "Ha."
"It's okay, you will."
Violet drew her Shadow Sword and slashed at Satan Saint's lower body. The sharp blade severed Satan Saint's body from the thigh down, including the ice blocks!
Satan knelt directly in front of those graves!
"Ah!" Satan Saint screamed in agony, horrified to discover that the wound on his leg had not healed.
How could this be? Could it be that Lord Im has abandoned him?! No, no, no, absolutely not!
Saint Satan: "What do you want? Treasure, men and women, noble status, or..."
Violet dislocated his left arm and repeated, "Apologize."
Saint Satan: "Ah! Anything, anything you can imagine, I can give you!"
Without pausing, Violet immediately crippled his right arm: "Apologize."
Satan Saint: "Uh! No, wait, I apologize, I apologize!"
Having never experienced such pain before, Saint Satan finally succumbed to the agony he hadn't felt in centuries after Vil expressionlessly crippled his limbs, and reluctantly apologized to the graves.
Even now, Satan Saint still didn't believe that Violet would kill him.
He felt he still had a chance to return to Mary Geoise, to Im, and to seek revenge.
But just as Satan raised his head, he suddenly heard a slight gust of wind, and the next second, his gaze plummeted downwards.
He saw his own chest, his severed lower body, the filthy mud, and the approach of death.
This powerful figure, who had stood atop the world and commanded the lower realms for hundreds of years, died just like that.
He knelt before the grave of the insect he despised, as if his limbs had been severed.
As Lox watched Violet sheath her sword, he asked, as if sensing something, "Are you leaving?"
Alice looked at the two of them in surprise.
"There's one last thing to do."
Vera put two fingers to her lips and blew a sound. A few minutes later, a huge gray-white elk-goose descended from the sky with a small yellow elk-goose.
As Lockes listened to the cacophony of braying donkeys around him, all the emotions that had been surfacing in his mind vanished instantly.
"Sigh..." Who would have thought that after finishing with Violet's matter and moving the innocent people from God Valley away, the deer-goose would lay an egg on the spot.
In just a few days, these baby deer-geese grew to the point where they could fly short distances with their mothers.
The cacophony of calls from a herd of deer and geese can completely clear your mind of any melancholy or sentimental thoughts.
Violet handed the deer-goose family the photos she had prepared beforehand, which she had taken with a Den Den Mushi and developed countless times.
"Spread these photos all over the world."
As a result, the World Government no longer had the time to deal with the relocated slaves and the inhabitants of God Valley Island.
The deer and goose family left with the photos. After thinking for a moment, Violet handed a folded treasure map to Rocks.
"Please pass this on to John."
"What's this?"
"Treasure map".
"Is this considered a second favor?"
Violet was startled by Lox's shamelessness: "Huh?"
“Just kidding.” Lox shrugged at Violet. “I won’t go into any more sentimental stuff.”
"You still have two favors to do. Don't die before you use them up, kid."
