ONE PIECE: THE GREAT VOYAGE

"Bah!"

As the energy surged, a powerful attack was mixed into the flow, cutting through the air and striking Caesar's face.

Point the gun!

Caesar was slightly startled.

"Dangdangdang..."

In that critical moment, the long knife in his hand reversed and, using the finger gun technique, he blocked the surprise attack in time.

The two separated after a brief clash.

They stared at each other, and Caesar's expression grew more serious.

He had originally wanted to deal with the enemy casually, like Whitebeard and the others, conserving his strength to handle any future changes.

However, he was surprised to find that the CP0 agent in front of him was not weaker than himself at all.

The opponent's attacks were relentless, each one aiming for his life. It was clear that the CP0 agent wasn't planning to let Caesar escape easily.

For a moment, Caesar was unable to gain the upper hand and was instead forced into a grueling battle.

"Boom!"

Having cultivated a relatively high level of Haoshoku Haki, entwined with his Haki-enhanced swordsmanship, Caesar raised his hands above his head and slammed down toward his opponent.

"Overlord Color Haki?"

The CP0 agent was shocked, his pupils narrowing.

The pirate in front of him had already mastered such advanced Haki at such a young age. If left unchecked, what would he become in the future?

At the age of Rocks, would Caesar be stronger than Rocks himself?

The agent's resolve to capture or even kill Caesar grew stronger.

The battle between the two raged on, their clashes creating violent winds and waves that cut through nearby vegetation with ease.

Such a fierce confrontation made it impossible for the weaker CP0 agents and the Navy to intervene in this duel.

"This battle is beyond what ordinary people can imagine..."

Brad, having just finished off a group of Navy soldiers, stood dazed.

The fight before him had exceeded all expectations. This was no battle he could take part in.

Whether they were Navy elites or Roger Pirates' cadres, each of them was far stronger than him.

This realization left Brad powerless to assist Caesar, even if he wanted to. It was even difficult for him to approach the two combatants.

His thoughts were interrupted when a sharp sword flash struck from behind.

He had been training with Caesar for many days, but now, in this critical moment, Brad instinctively transformed into a saber-toothed tiger.

The attack came from a CP0 member.

Though weaker than the CP0 executive fighting Caesar, the attacker was not to be underestimated.

"Roar!"

Brad turned quickly, swiping his paw at the incoming enemy.

---

Caesar, caught up in his fierce struggle with the CP0 agent, couldn't disengage to help. He glanced over, seeing Brad already engaged with an enemy, and Gliner holding his ground against a Rear Admiral's attack.

Feeling a little relieved, Caesar returned to his battle.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Two violent explosions shook the air, and two purple-black mushroom clouds rose almost simultaneously.

The first one came from Caesar's ongoing battle.

The second erupted from Charlotte Linlin, who was also surrounded by CP0 elites.

Linlin was in a berserk state, her long knife wrapped in a purple-black advanced armament Haki. With each swing, she unleashed tremendous pressure, crackling with lightning.

For a moment, the CP0 agents attacking her couldn't make a dent in her defenses.

Of course, these were not ordinary agents, and Charlotte Lingling was far from defeating them in a short time.

Her battle was in a similar stalemate to Caesar's.

Meanwhile, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and others continued to fight alongside Rayleigh, Jabbah, and others, still holding back.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the clash between them was terrifying, but they couldn't participate.

Kaido, the fighting lunatic, was in his element, battling CP0 agents that were clearly stronger than him.

Though he had yet to eat the Mythical Zoan fruit, Kaido's innate physical abilities were terrifying and abnormal.

On the other side of the Valley of the Gods, under heavy guard by Navy soldiers and CP0 agents, the Celestial Dragons rushed toward the docks to escape by boat.

They felt the earth-shattering rumble of explosions and the ground trembling beneath their feet.

The arrogance the Celestial Dragons normally displayed was gone. They now trembled like dogs before true power.

The highest-ranking among them yelled at the CP0 agents escorting them:

"These hateful untouchables! How dare they threaten our safety!"

"You dog slaves, hurry up and notify the World Government!"

"We must catch these villains! Publicly execute these heinous pirates in front of the world!"

---

Back in Mariejois, the Five Elders grew increasingly worried as battlefield reports came in.

For centuries, the World Government's authority had been challenged, but no one had dared to openly attack the Celestial Dragons like this.

The sheer brutality of the Rocks Pirates made them seethe with anger.

---

The arrival of the Roger Pirates in the Valley of the Gods shocked and enraged the Five Elders.

However, trapped in the Holy Land, they were powerless to intervene.

"Haven't the CP0 agents reached the Valley of the Gods yet? Tell them to hurry up!"

"What is the Navy Headquarters doing? Why haven't they sent reinforcements?"

"We cannot let the Celestial Dragons be harmed! We must stop Rocks!"

"We can't let him overthrow the world!"

The Five Elders were furious, issuing orders as quickly as possible.

Meanwhile, Admiral Sengoku and others were rushing to the Valley of the Gods. Though they were moving at full speed, the distance made it unclear if they'd arrive in time.

Admiral Steel Gu Kong was filled with anxiety.

---

In the Valley of the Gods, the battle intensified.

Garp and Roger joined forces to fight against Rocks, and their battle covered a 30-kilometer radius.

Forests, boulders, and mountains collapsed, and the earth was torn apart by their power. Even the surrounding seas became turbulent.

The boats along the shore rocked violently as if caught in a storm.

[66] Rocks, Suppressed and Violent, but Ineffectual

"Keep it up, Garp!"

"Of course, I know that!"

Together, Garp and Roger struck at Rocks, Garp's armament Haki-covered fist colliding with Roger's Haki-infused blade, forcing Rocks back.

Having fought together for years, the two knew each other's moves intimately. Their teamwork was flawless.

Under their combined assault, even someone as powerful as Rocks found himself on the defensive.

Rocks' rage intensified, and his battle cry echoed across the Valley of the Gods:

"Roger! Garp! You two bastards, if I can't kill the Celestial Dragons today, I'll make sure you two die here!"

Rocks' expression was ferocious. His Haki reached its peak as his muscles swelled, each punch capable of tearing the sky.

Facing such a terrifying opponent, neither Garp nor Roger dared to underestimate him.

The battle between the three created shockwaves that devastated the entire Valley of the Gods.
