Chapter 204 The War in Mary Geoise
rustling, rustling—
Moon Island, or rather, the final island, shrouded in the cool glow of a lunar storm, once again welcomed new visitors after Roger broke through the World Government's blockade.
The sound of rolling rocks filled the air, and the strange-looking creatures of Moon Island stopped what they were doing and looked up at the small pile of rocks in the corner of the island.
With a bang, a golden pickaxe burst out from the pile of rocks, followed by a pair of slender hands that braced themselves against the cracks in the rock and forcefully pried it open.
"call!"
Violet emerged from inside, looked around, and, not forgetting to take out the Den Den Mushi that Morgans had given her from her pocket, took a panoramic video.
When the time comes, show it to Morgans; we're sure to get a good price for it.
What? You mean we're about to have the final boss battle, why are you still thinking about making money?
Even in a boss battle, you can't miss out on any opportunities to get freebies!
Violet put down the Den Den Mushi and began to observe the mysterious island—besides the cold light, the island's ecosystem was also very different from the outside world.
On the ground grows the Moon Tree, with its thick trunk and sparse branches, and pale pink petals; lunar rock minerals with grayish-brown cracked bark and a cold blue core like solidified moonlight are scattered near the crater; pale green moonglass with sharp edges is frozen in a splash around the crater; the Salamander, with its layered scales, curved tail, and large, bright black eyes, lives beside the boiling hot springs, its color varying from brownish-green to deep red depending on its age and maturity…
Violet looked up at her character panel again, and sure enough, the sanity value column had been automatically replaced with enlightenment value.
Because she arrived at the final island through an underground cave, Violet's sanity was only around thirty when she came out of the cave. At this time, under the special influence of the lunar storm, it was converted into enlightenment value, which gradually increased over time.
Im's special state of immortality, which can only last when his sanity is zero, will automatically disappear on Moon Island as time goes by.
No wonder the World Government is so secretive about the existence of the final island.
As she thought about it, Violet took out a [hostile flare] from her backpack and reached for the [fragile rose] inside.
She placed the rose on the signal flare and smiled as she looked at the rose, which, despite the years, remained as vibrant as if it had just been picked from the branch.
"Come on, Im, this is the final battle between you and me."
——
"So, Dragon... you really didn't spread those messages?"
Through the Den Den Mushi, the voice of Bello Betty, commander of the Revolutionary Army's "Eastern Army," rang out: "If it's not you, then it must be Vera?"
"I heard the name Violet!" The excited voice of Emprio Ivankov, commander of the Grand Line Army, rang out from another Den Den Mushi. "So this time, our collaborator is Miss Violet?"
“Actually, I don’t know either.” Dragon shook his head, looking at the young man beside him who had once been entrusted to Vil and had now grown into a powerful and spirited young man. “Perhaps you know the answer, Sabo?”
Why must the answer be the Revolutionary Army, or us, R'lyeh?
Sabo pushed up his hat brim and looked at the dragon, saying, "Perhaps it's someone else on this ocean who is already dissatisfied with the World Government's cruel rule."
In another timeline, in order to protect the people and slaves she rescued from God Valley, Violet scattered photos she had taken—photos powerful enough to shake the ocean and the world government's rule—around the world using deer and geese.
When Valkyrie and Shanks returned and the two timelines merged, not only were the fates of some important figures rewritten, but also sparks began to quietly ignite in places unnoticed by the World Government.
Perhaps they had witnessed the World Government's actions toward God Valley in another timeline, or perhaps they were influenced by the slaves or civilians who should have died there. In any case, this force, which the World Government had always ignored, grew like a tenacious and inconspicuous weed, and after the wind rose, it quickly became an undeniable raging fire, burning towards the foundations of the World Government's eight-hundred-year rule.
Dragon didn't expect to hear such an answer from Sabo, but on second thought, it was really nice to have so many like-minded people traveling with him besides their Revolutionary Army.
“This is good news.” Long nodded slightly, looking at the island that gradually appeared in front of him in the distance and slowly exhaled. “In addition to the heavenly gold that must be paid to the island every year, the king of this island also requires the people of the island to contribute their blood to him to brew a special blood wine.”
“I once helped a man who had escaped from this island. His parents, wife and children had all died from serious illnesses caused by years of anemia.”
"He chose to join the revolutionary army, and after a year of training, he returned to the island, secretly contacting the revolutionary army and waiting for the day when the king would be overthrown."
Sabo gripped his fire staff: "Today is the day he's been waiting for."
“Yes.” Long smiled as he looked at the coastal defense guns turning toward them from the island. “Not just this island, today is the day of liberation for all the seas.”
"The Eastern Army, the Southern Army, the Western Army, the Northern Army, and the Grand Line Army..."
Looking at the row of various Den Den Mushi in front of him, Ryu said in a deep voice, "Let's move out."
——
When a shadow fell over the Red Firth, Yasopp, who was standing on the lookout tower, immediately changed his expression, gripped his flintlock pistol tightly, and nervously looked up.
What is that?!
Yasopp stared in shock at the ships floating above them.
A ship flew right above them?! Wait, that ship... it's Shiki the Golden Lion's ship!
Beckman, standing on one side of the ship's railing, stubbed out his cigarette and watched as the Flying Pirates above them loaded their flintlock muskets.
"Calm down, Beckman, they are not our enemies."
Shanks walked over to Beckman, looked up at the floating fleet and laughed, then turned his head to look at another part of the sea.
"I really didn't expect them to choose to stand on Vie's side."
them?
Before Beckman could even wonder who Shanks was referring to, his Observation Haki told him that a group of enormous creatures was rapidly approaching.
Splash—
One after the other, two enormous ships burst out from beneath the sea. The transparent membrane ruptured the moment the two ships touched the air, sending countless tiny water droplets flying into the air.
Those are... the Sword of Gibbek and the Moby Dick?
"Long time no see, Newgate!"
Shanks waved to Newgate, who was standing at the bow of the ship. Newgate looked down at the striking red hair and laughed loudly, "Kurara, now all five Emperors are gathered!"
"Rocks, did you call Shanks over here too?"
Lox, who had been silently watching Mary Geoise from the Sword of Gibbeck, scoffed upon hearing this: "I didn't call that guy over."
Before setting off, Violet asked Rocks to help her restrain the Eight Warlords of the Sea who might be recruited by the World Government.
But Rocks had no interest in playing with those guys.
If we're going to fight, let's just go straight to Mary Geoise!
As for Shiki, Linlin, and the others, they were naturally summoned by Rocks.
As for the red hair...
Rocks looked to the side at the Red Furs. A red-haired woman dressed in a fitted knight's outfit and long boots walked up to Shanks. After sensing Rocks' gaze, she glanced back at him and then stepped forward warily to block Shanks' path.
"Mom?"
Shanks peeked out and looked at Ayagia.
"If I see that brat when I get to Mary Geoise, I'll teach him a lesson."
Although she didn't name names, Shanks immediately understood that Ayagya was referring to Shamrock.
Recalling how that guy was becoming more and more like Gringu in looking down on people, Shanks strongly agreed with Ayagia making up for Shamrock's missing childhood memories.
Just then, several laser beams shot out from Mary Geoise, heading straight for the pirates' ships.
"They're finally here." Lockes laughed as he looked at the scorching lasers. Otherwise, he would have thought these arrogant guys were scared and ready to cower in fear.
Without Rocks needing to intervene, a magnificent phoenix wreathed in azure flames burst forth from the Moby Dick, kicking the lasers and sending them flying into the sea, creating massive waves.
Damn it!
Marcus Mazsan angrily exclaimed, "What on earth is Sengoku doing, letting those damned pirates get near Mary Geoise!"
"I told you long ago, that Sengoku guy is far from being as docile as he appears!"
"What do you mean? The Navy has betrayed us?!"
"Damn it, Sengoku dares not answer the phone! Besides Sengoku, there must be a few other admirals. Contact them directly and have them come to Mary Geoise under the pretext of protecting the Celestial Dragons."
"Yes, the three admirals, and Garp too. Isn't he a hero? Tell him to come quickly."
"Garp is a Marine hero, not a Celestial Dragon hero. Don't forget what happened to Garp's son..."
"Enough, now is not the time to argue!" Shepard X. Pete Saint took a deep breath. "Rocks, Whitebeard, Big Mom... those pirates are right outside the Holy City, they'll be storming it in a few minutes."
Meanwhile, more than half of the Knights of God, along with two of the Five Elders, were ordered by Lord Im to go to the Grand Line to intercept Violet, who might be there.
They didn't know what had happened that led to Lord Im's sudden disappearance, but faced with the menacing Rox and his group, they had to quickly organize their forces for defense.
Rumble—
A deafening sound suddenly rang out, accompanied by a strong tremor from the floor beneath our feet.
When Greengu turned his head to the side, he saw that half of the Pangu City wall had collapsed!
Those pirates have landed on Mary Geoise! And those pacifists they set up around the Holy City couldn't even hold them off for five minutes?!
"That's impossible!"
Those Pacifistas are products that combine the Devil Fruit abilities of the three Admirals with the high-tech creations from ancient ruins! Each Pacifista even has a core made of amethyst to provide powerful magical abilities.
No matter how strong those pirates were, they couldn't possibly break through the Pacifistas' defenses in such a short time, especially since they hadn't even heard a sound of fighting.
Has Rocks become this powerful?
Just then, the Den Den Mushi on the table in front of the Five Elders rang. Gringu answered it with a grim expression, and Shamlock's voice came through the Den Den Mushi.
“Those pacifists have all shut down!” Shamrock exclaimed. “Begabank has betrayed us!”
Begabank!
Yes, the pacifists' research and development relies on technology obtained from excavating ancient ruins, as well as technology from Begabank.
Despite all their precautions, they still couldn't prevent Vegapunk from planting a backdoor among the Pacifistas. If only they had known that they could have dealt with this hidden danger when Lord Im suggested that Vegapunk become a Celestial Dragon but was refused!
"Shamrock, you take the Knights of God and hold them off for now, we..."
Snap!
A crisp slapping sound came from Shamrock's office and echoed throughout the entire office via Den Den Mushi.
Shamrock, holding the Den Den Mushi, stared in disbelief, then an overwhelming rage engulfed him, causing him to turn away furiously, vowing to make the person who dared to lay a hand on him pay...
"What are you looking at?!" Ayagya raised her eyebrows and slapped him again, leaving symmetrical handprints on both sides of Shamlock's face.
Junzi, who was standing next to Shamlock, quickly covered his mouth.
Ayagya: "What were you trying to say?"
Although Shamrock, having become the leader of the Knights of God and possessing the immortality bestowed upon him by Im, could actually defeat Ayagya in a fight, bloodline suppression is bloodline suppression. Even without that damned brother watching him from the sidelines, Shamrock wouldn't dare to fight his mother.
Ayagya grabbed Shamlock's ear and dragged him away from the battlefield.
"Oh."
Seeing this, Lockes chuckled but did not stop it.
A rational and intelligent person would not easily challenge a mother's determination to protect her child.
Shanks shook his head helplessly. With his mother's help, it seemed Shamrock's life was saved. However, it was clear that for Ayagia, removing Shamrock from the battlefield had already accomplished her goal of calling on Shanks and the Red-Haired Pirates to attack Mary Geoise. As for the other guy's life or death, Ayagia no longer cared.
