Roger's words truly struck a chord with Whitebeard.
Whitebeard contemplated his loyalty to Rocks while reflecting on the children he had adopted.
Finally, Whitebeard closed his eyes and took a step back, making his stance clear.
Roger was overjoyed when he saw this.
"Hahaha! Whitebeard, you'll be glad you made this decision."
After Roger said that, he led Rayleigh towards the center of the island.
When Garp saw them, he shouted, "Damn it! Roger, don't run away!"
Garp rolled up his sleeves and chased after them.
Whitebeard stood aside, watching the three figures disappear and letting out a sigh.
He didn't follow right away because he didn't know how to face Rocks.
Because his actions just now had betrayed Rocks, and there was no way to make amends. He could only go all the way down this path.
After running for a while, Roger saw a golden figure ahead and stopped abruptly.
Looking at the area around him that looked like it had been plowed over.
Roger frowned. He had seen the person he least wanted to see.
"Roger~!"
Shiki, the Golden Lion, stood on a hill, looking at the three figures approaching from afar. Two of them surprised him greatly.
"Hahaha! Long time no see, Shiki!"
Even though Roger didn't want to see Shiki, they finally met. Roger greeted Shiki with a smile.
"Roger! What are you doing here?"
Shiki was of course no stranger to Roger.
This Roger had been wandering around the New World for the past year or two and often attacked the members of the Rocks Pirate Crew.
As Shiki was a Devil Fruit user, he had high mobility. Thus, he was often sent by Rocks to join Whitebeard in hunting down the Roger Pirate Crew.
Through these encounters, the two of them got to know each other.
Roger stood ten meters in front of Shiki, looking at the destruction everywhere and the severed hand.
Roger didn't even need to think to know that Shiki had already dealt with his enemies.
But seeing that Shiki had been standing there without moving, an idea popped into his mind instantly.
"Shiki! I want to kill Rocks! You won't stop me, right!"
Roger looked at Shiki calmly and said it casually.
Only Roger could say in front of someone that he wanted to kill their captain.
Rayleigh beside him rubbed his forehead, extremely helpless.
Wouldn't saying that really get him thrashed?
"Uh~!"
Roger's straightforwardness stunned Shiki, and he fell silent for a long time.
Just when Rayleigh thought it was going to fail.
"Jiehahaha! Jiehahaha! Roger! Are you serious?"
Shiki suddenly stood on the slope, laughing and looking at Roger, asking if he was joking.
"Hahaha! Of course not! I came here for Rocks D. Gibek!"
Roger said with absolute certainty, his gaze extremely firm.
This made the smile on Shiki's face never stop.
Then Shiki suddenly stepped aside on the slope. Everyone of course knew what this meant.
"Hahaha! Thanks, Shiki!"
When Roger saw this, he laughed and rushed past Shiki's position with Rayleigh and Garp.
"Damn it!
Who wants your thanks? We're enemies, after all!"
Hearing this, Shiki started yelling insults at Roger.
Then, smiling, he sat on the hillside, waiting for the outcome.
Roger, on the other hand, quickly rushed towards the center of God Valley with the two of them.
At the center of God Valley.
"Wahaha! Five Elders! Is this all you've got? You'll probably be the Four Elders from now on!"
The Conqueror's Haki on Rocks shot up into the sky. The Armament Haki on his fists was extremely dense, and a dense black aura emanated from his body.
"Rocks! If you want to get through, you'll have to step over my body!"
Saturn Saint was covered in blood, and his forehead was so swollen that it was unrecognizable.
His clothes were all tattered.
But he still held on, though it was obvious that he couldn't last much longer.
"Don't worry! I'll do as you wish and step on your corpse to become the King of the World!"
Rocks grabbed Saturn Saint, one of the helpless Five Elders.
He gently patted Saturn Saint's face, which gave Rocks great pleasure.
Just imagine how satisfying it was to see a once unattainable big shot in his hands, completely defenseless.
Especially when this person was one of the five who held the most power in the world.
This made the pleasure in Rocks' heart almost burst into the sky, indescribable in words.
He grabbed Saturn Saint and slammed him crazily onto the ground.
It made the people around twitch at the corners of their eyes.
Charlotte stood in the distance, watching Rocks brutally abusing Saturn Saint, one of the Five Elders of the World Government. For some reason, he felt a little envious of Rocks.
Only those truly in the world of pirates could know how crazy Rocks' actions were at this moment.
Charlotte had already taken care of those three Celestial Dragons. The Celestial Dragon in Tyrannosaurus form was easily killed by him.
After all, that Celestial Dragon was at most between a rear - admiral and a candidate Admiral.
If it weren't for the boost of the Tyrannosaurus fruit, he would only be at the level of a rear - admiral.
Rocks abused Saturn Saint for a long time.
So long that Saturn was on the verge of death and couldn't even open his eyes.
Looking at Saturn Saint like a dead dog, Rocks lost interest.
"It seems you're nothing special after all! Then just go to hell!"
As Rocks said this, black lightning coiled around his pitch - black fist, and he was about to deliver the final blow to Saturn Saint.
Charlotte watched this scene seriously.
If he guessed correctly, Roger should come to the rescue and save this member of the Five Elders at this time.
Then, Charlotte's expression changed, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes.
Rocks' fist quickly descended.
Divine Dodge!
A loud roar sounded from behind Rocks.
Along with it came a powerful [Slash].
A sense of crisis instantly flashed through Rocks' mind.
"Damn it!"
Rocks could only quickly retract his fist and turn around to punch at the [Slash].
Clang!
The fist didn't touch the [Slash] but collided with it in the air.
Finally, Rocks made a fist and with a single motion, sent the Slash flying, changing its course.
Rocks looked up.
There, he saw a bearded man wearing a straw hat, holding a long sword, and walking out.
"Roger?"
Rocks raised his eyebrows upon seeing this man and recognized him.
This was the newcomer who had been making waves in his New World for the past two or three years.
"Rocks D. Gibek!"
Roger also stared at Rocks and shouted out his name.
This should be the first time these two had met.
"Did you come here to stop me?"
Rocks looked at Roger and the two people behind him.
Roger didn't reply. Instead, he raised his sword and pointed it at Rocks.
At the same time, Garp stepped forward and stood side by side with Roger, clenching his fist.
