Chapter 460: The Non-Existent Person

Unlike Saint Saint Saiwen, who was greatly surprised, the entire Rocks Pirates seemed accustomed to the little secret between Charlotte Lingling and Kaido.

After all, during this period, Lingling was already accompanied by children including Perospero and Katakuri.

As for who the children's father was?

Except for the father-son relationship between Long Bread and Perospero, which was relatively clear, the fathers of the other children were mostly impossible to verify.

Moreover, as pirates, no one would ever care who the biological father of a child actually was.

In this cruel world where the strong devour the weak, only living well and enjoying the moment were the true principles pirates valued above all else.

While Saint Saint Saiwen silently criticized in his heart, the rest of the Rocks Pirates concealed their expressions, occasionally glancing at this captain of the Sixth Division.

Powerful, handsome, mysterious, and yet loathsome—that was Saint Saint Saiwen's first impression of the Golden Lion.

The Golden Lion had roamed the seas for many years, yet he had never heard of such a figure on the ocean before; it was as if he suddenly emerged from some corner, yet his strength was so formidable that it could match Rocks.

Not only was he the user of the Goro Goro no Mi, the strongest Logia-type Devil Fruit, but he also mastered Conqueror's Haki coating.

By all rights, such a top-tier expert should not have been unheard of.

And for some reason, the Golden Lion always felt that this young man was his nemesis.

Truly annoying.

Compared to the Golden Lion's complex emotions toward Saint Saint Saiwen, Whitebeard felt only deep regret: the Goro Goro no Mi boy was too strong, making it awkward to ask him to be his son.

As for the others, although they harbored some dissatisfaction in their hearts, they could only swallow their grievances due to their fear of Saint Saint Saiwen's strength.

The Rocks Pirates were just like that.

Or rather, this era was one where strength ruled supreme; if someone was strong, what could one do even if dissatisfied?

Meanwhile, Rocks sat alone in the captain's cabin, his eyes flickering constantly, subconsciously recalling the secrets left behind by the Davey clan.

"Could he be the descendant of one of the other gods?"

Unless he had seen it with his own eyes, Rocks found it hard to imagine why the mysterious Goro Goro no Mi boy possessed strength so formidable that it was in no way inferior to his own at such a young age.

It was even superior to his.

Except for the descendants of the Four Ancient Gods—the Sun God, the Rain God, the Earth God, and the Forest God—Rocks could think of no other possibility.

"Interesting, getting more and more interesting."

Regardless of the Goro Goro no Mi boy's purpose for joining the Rocks Pirates, it gave Rocks greater confidence in rescuing his wife.

Amidst this atmosphere, the Rocks Pirates arrived at God Valley.

West Blue, God Valley.

With the full appearance of the Rocks Pirates, the Luo Jie Pirates, and the Marines led by Garp, the sky was torn apart by several waves of Conqueror's Haki; the raging black-red Haki made people struggle to breathe.

The vast majority of Celestial Dragons, Marine soldiers, and pirates were knocked unconscious by a single glance.

Those who could still maintain consciousness within God Valley were all famous figures, and the vast majority were old acquaintances of Saint Saint Saiwen.

For example—

Lei Li holding Xia Qi, the ultimate prize of the God Valley Hunting Tournament, and Luo Jie, Jabba, the Golden Lion, Whitebeard, and others covering Lei Li and Xia Qi's retreat.

The relationships among the older generation of experts were truly chaotic.

The weight of being the world's most beautiful woman was such that Luo Jie, the Golden Lion, and others, who were rivals in love, were willing to set aside their prejudices and choose to let Lei Li win the beauty.

The sight of Luo Jie crying while covering Lei Li and Xia Qi's retreat made Saint Saint Saiwen sigh: "The power of love is truly great."

Among the army of pure-love warriors, Kaido and Lingling, who were looking for someone, appeared particularly out of place.

"Where is the Goro Goro no Mi boy?"

Lingling grunted: "Kaido, stop worrying about that guy; let's go grab the Devil Fruit first."

"Very well." Kaido was quite regretful.

Although he had only known the Goro Goro no Mi boy for a short time, Kaido inexplicably felt very close to him.

Most importantly, the Goro Goro no Mi boy was not only powerful but also willing to give Kaido face; he was truly Kaido's good brother.

Where could one find such a good brother?!

However, in the face of the Devil Fruit about to be obtained, Kaido decided to temporarily forget his good brother, picked up his spiked club, and killed Marines if they blocked the way and hammered pirates if they blocked the way.

Just like the scene Saint Saint Saiwen knew, no accidents occurred; Lingling obtained the Azure Dragon Fruit, and the young Kuma with a shaved head ate the Nikyu Nikyu no Mi.

Kaido... obtained nothing.

Looking at the Azure Dragon Fruit in Lingling's hand, Kaido pressed his lips, seemingly making a certain decision: getting it in hand counts for nothing; getting it into one's mouth is the true victory.

As for Saint Saint Saiwen, he was already sitting on Shanfeng in God Valley, quietly waiting for this great battle to end.

When purchasing the time machine, the user from the Green Grass specifically warned: use the time machine cautiously, otherwise it is highly likely to cause irreversible changes.

Because of this.

Saint Saint Saiwen's purpose for coming this time was simply to take something from Captain Luo Jie so that he could resurrect the captain in the future; apart from that, he did not intend to interfere with the timeline.

After all, to this spacetime, Saint Saint Saiwen belonged to the category of non-existent persons; the more he did, the greater the impact on the future.

It would be better to do nothing at all.

The reason he joined the Rocks Pirates was that while traveling, he accidentally met the old man Kaido.

The cheap father-in-law Kaido, imitating Whitebeard's manner of inviting him to join the Rocks Pirates, issued an invitation for Saint Saint Saiwen to board the ship.

Saint Saint Saiwen originally intended to refuse, but upon seeing the expectant little look in the old man Kaido's eyes, he temporarily decided to change his mind.

The face of the cheap father-in-law must be given.

Afterwards, Saint Saint Saiwen and Rocks fought a battle, and by leveraging his formidable strength after holding back, he became the captain of the Sixth Division of the Rocks Pirates.

To say something that turns the world upside down, judging solely from this matter, Rocks was in some aspects very similar to Blackbeard.

Whether it was the Rocks Pirates or the Blackbeard Pirates, the internal personnel were extremely complex.

Perhaps the only difference was that Rocks possessed the charisma and strength that could make Whitebeard, the Golden Lion, Charlotte Lingling, and Kaido bow their heads.

Even though surrounded by enemies on all sides and at the end of their road, Whitebeard and others still chose to side with Rocks, and together with Garp and Luo Jie, the six experts jointly attacked Imu, who was possessed by Saint Saturn.

Blackbeard does not possess this quality.

Upon the peak, Saint Saint Saiwen was surveying the battlefields of the Valley of the Gods, pulling out his photo-phone worm.

He aimed it at: Galing, cut in half by Loxs's two slashes into a speed bump; six top experts attacking Im; Jinshizi clutching a treasure chest—and snapped away furiously.

Especially Jinshizi's triumphant, roaring laugh made Saint Saint Saiwen instantly decide: next time Jinshizi celebrates his birthday, he'd use this photo as the gift.

Luo Jie's gift… will be that photo of him crying while covering Lei Li and Xia Qi's retreat.

Looking at the black histories of the elder masters in his hand, Saint Saint Saiwen laughed with great delight.

Especially the selfie he took beside Im, standing next to the black-robed Im.

If not for the time machine, where else could Saint Saint Saiwen have obtained the black histories of the elder masters—and Luo Jie's black history too?

"Truly worth the trip."
