Chapter 340

Even escaping safely was a hope, let alone going inside to search for things.

Pure dreaming!

Being buried in the seabed along with the island—even if they were Admiral-level powerhouses, the backlash of the sea would be enough to put them on the line between life and death. Not everyone had the monstrous constitution of BIG MOM, who could float ashore after falling into the sea, a mountain of flesh standing there, letting sea beasts bite without even breaking her defense.

Run!

Only run!

Their level of disarray was even worse than the pirates who were fleeing.

Dragging a bunch of Celestial Dragon burdens was like this.

Rumble!

Countless sand and stone fell into the sea, the canyon sank.

This paradise on earth, created by man with countless resources, had ultimately sunk into the vast ocean.

An irredeemable natural disaster.

Even Admiral-level powerhouses were powerless to change it.

Even if the Golden Lion were pulled back, in this state of fragmentation and scattering, it would be very difficult to catch and float everything.

It could be said to be a destined ending.

Watching the vast destruction before them, the soldiers of the three armies who had barely managed to board ships and escape in a panic were all filled with shock and silence, not knowing how to face this terrifying annihilation.

Sinking!

A thorough sinking!

God Valley, which had only disappeared from the sea charts, had now completely vanished from the ocean.

When Akainu and Aokiji were at their peak, their battle was intense, but it only changed the terrain. This time, however, the earth was completely shattered and collapsed; the destruction was on a completely different level.

Moreover! The size of God Valley, this paradise on earth, was definitely not smaller than the location of their decisive battle; it was at least ten times larger. This was the paradise that even the Celestial Dragons revered!!!

"Damn it!"

Lightning surged continuously; the Admiral who possessed the Rumble-Rumble Fruit saw his expression turn into a dark cloud.

"This is bad..."

The little old man Mo Ansi, who was floating with smoke, looked at the sinking God Valley, his spine chilling, his brows furrowed, looking extremely preoccupied.

——

Nameless sea area!

Far away from the ruined God Valley.

They had completely left the original strange sea area.

Even a place that the World Government's sea, land, and air forces hadn't searched or surrounded.

In the sky!

A black shadow appeared.

Constantly enlarging!

Enlarging!

Enlarging again!

Rumble—

It fell crashing from the sky, even though it was a black shadow so vast it was about to block out the sun.

After landing on the sea, it strangely didn't cause much of a ripple, just like a flowerpot falling from a high altitude, it landed lightly on the ground. Not only was the flowerpot not smashed, but even the soil inside didn't spill much; at most, the delicate flowers inside swayed a few times in the wind.

"Phew..."

"Here! It should barely count as safe!"

The Golden Lion slowly let out a breath of stale air.

His usually arrogant face couldn't help but turn slightly pale. Charging such a long distance in one breath, at a time when pursuers could appear at any moment, he didn't even dare to stop and rest.

Pushing the Float-Float Fruit to this extent, even he found it somewhat unbearable.

The consumption of physical strength was truly too great, too great.

"However..."

"Now that we're here, we shouldn't have to worry about those guys appearing anymore, right?"

Looking at the azure sea on the shore, the Golden Lion finally relaxed.

Safe!

Safe at last!

But...

The price was too exaggerated!

The Rocks Pirates, with their massive momentum, blocking out the sun, and even making the World Government retreat and be wary, could be said to have been wiped out in the Battle of God Valley.

Especially at the end, when they saw them trying to leave, a group of people attacked like madmen.

Endless thunder erupted, and who knows how many people were blasted to death.

As expected of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, hailed as the strongest Logia; its attack power is truly a bug. Whether single-target or group attack, it's incredibly overbearing. If they hadn't torn the island apart in time and gotten entangled, the outcome would have been hard to say.

"A pity about those Celestial Dragons..."

John pressed his hand on the sword at his waist, looking regretful.

Those were Celestial Dragons!

All in all, they had gotten their hands on a dozen or twenty of them; that was definitely wealth beyond imagination.

Even if Rocks died and they couldn't get the corresponding mission reward, given the World Government's emphasis on Celestial Dragons, they would certainly be willing to spend a huge sum of money for them.

That's right!

His goal was kidnapping, directly holding them for ransom.

It could be said to be quite fitting for his identity as a pirate.

"A pity?"

"If we hadn't let go, do you think those running dogs of the World Government would have easily let us go?"

Locke's disdainful sneer followed immediately.

That's right!

The Celestial Dragons were released by him on purpose!

Throwing away the big trouble of the Celestial Dragons reduced the Navy and World Government's obsession with them first. ===== CHAPTER 342 =====
