achieved the effect of “protecting civilians.”"After all, for them with established power, the better and more affluent life of the common people means they can collect higher protection fees.With Co...Capture...Gol D. Roger!

As the voice of steel bones in the military telephone worm fell silent, all the navy officers present were taken aback and their faces turned pale.

Gol D. Roger!

The strongest man who truly stands at the peak of this vast sea, alongside Whitebeard and Golden Lion, is known as one of the "Three Legendary Pirates"!

Although Roger's crew was not as large as that of Golden Lion and Whitebeard, with very few members, every single one of his subordinates was a renowned powerhouse on this vast sea... The Roger Pirates were the most balanced ironclad pirate crew among the three legendary pirate crews!

"Did you hear that I'm sorry, it seems my escort can only go this far."

Drogon hung up the phone bug, the smile on his face had vanished, replaced by a deep seriousness.

"Where is the nearest island to us"

He looked at the sailor on the warship.

The sailor saluted.

"Reporting to Major Dulag, about half an hour's travel northeast, there is a supply outpost on a transit island."

Dora nodded.

"Then set off immediately for that island... It's a direct order from headquarters, you shouldn't have any objections, should you"

His gaze shifted to Gion and Kage.

When he gets serious, Dorag's words carry an undeniable aura of authority. There's no trace left of the foolish and naive demeanor he had just a while ago

Gion and Kage both looked at each other, shaking their heads silently.

Even before we consider this a direct order from Admiral Bones, it's clear that the Pirate King Gol D. Roger is not an opponent anyone here could currently handle.

They are very clear about this in their hearts.

To rashly participate in actions is to court death.

In fact, within the Navy there was an unwritten rule circulating regarding powerful pirates like Roger, Golden Lion, and Whitebeard.

The pirates will be handled by a specific admiral or an admiral-level combatant of the same rank.

In all other cases,

Officers of the rank and below, if they encounter pirate vessels such as those captained by Roger without orders from their superiors while at sea, may take appropriate evasive measures and directly report to their superiors. They will not be punished for doing so.

This is to minimize unnecessary casualties as much as possible.

And you, Darren

Dragone's eyes finally landed on the naval captain, staring at him intensely.

Although you once fought against Bonnie Waldo, the self-proclaimed "World Destroyer," and survived his wrath, you should understand...Bonnie Waldo's ultimate demise in the North Sea was largely due to luck.

"Unlike the campaign to subdue Bondo Waldo, this time only Bondo Waldo was supporting the Ward Pirates. However, the Roger Pirates had many powerful fighters and a wealth of talent."

"Darren, this level of combat is still too early for you."

Gion and Katsuki, hearing this, also deeply agreed and nodded silently. They looked at Darren.

However, for some reason, looking at Darren's overly calm expression, both of them always had a somewhat uneasy feeling in their hearts.

"It's indeed a bit early."

Darren surprisingly agreed with Dorag's point of view, nodding his head.

Just as the two of them in Gion let out a sigh of relief, Darren inexplicably broke into a smile.

A wicked gleam intensified in his eyes as the corners of his mouth curled upwards, the more he laughed.

But I still want to go.

"——Are you crazy!”

Both Gion and Kakechi gasped in unison upon hearing these words.

I felt a bone-chilling cold rise from my feet, creeping up my spine and into my skull.

It's not because of anything else, but they understand Darren's character very well... Once that guy makes up his mind, nothing, no matter what happens or who says anything, can change it!

"Hey, hey, hey... Darren, that's Gol D. Roger! It's not those small-time pirates you encountered in the North Sea... While Bonney Warudo is powerful, he's nowhere near Roger's level!!"

Taking a step closer, Gage leaned in and whispered nervously to Darren.

"Oh" Darren raised an eyebrow.

Gion also whispered with a head full of cold sweat:

"There are things you don't know, but that Roger fella is not someone we can handle right now."

She gritted her teeth,

"The Battle of the Divine Valley... Do you know about it"

For the name Gol D. Roger, they knew better than anyone what it truly meant.

Extreme danger!!!

And all of this horror originates from a place name.

Valley of the Gods.

Although information regarding that battle had been completely sealed off by the World Government and high-ranking Marines, with a determination to bury it in the dust of history, both Gin and Katakuri, due to their backgrounds and talents, naturally understood more or less about the details of that earth-shattering war.

The War of the Gods' Valley happened eight years ago. Before that war, there was a name that once terrified both the World Government and the Marines in this sea.

"—Locksley d'Gibbek."

Gion and Dorag exchanged a glance, confirming the latter didn't object before continuing:

Rocks was a sea emperor over 10 years ago. Relying on his unparalleled strength and ambition, he recruited a group of powerful subordinates.

"Even legends say that pirates like Whitebeard, Shiki, the notorious Kaido and Big Mom... were all once part of Rocks' crew."

As his forces grew, so too did Rocks' ambition. Desiring to become the King of the World, he openly declared war on the World Government. Eight years ago, he launched a mad assault on Mariejois, the seat of the Celestial Dragons.

"Thus, the Great War of God's Valley erupted. Facing the overwhelming Rocks Pirates, the Marines gathered a massive force and allied with Roger, the then-rising "New Generation" pirate, forming a temporary alliance."

And Rear Admiral Kaido, alongside Roger, brought an end to Rocks' ambitions in that very war. They became legendary heroes after the battle.

"I'm telling you, do you understand Roger's power and fearsome nature are beyond our reach... He's the most troublesome enemy acknowledged by the Marine Headquarters."

It was precisely because Gion understood Darren's wild nature that she had to speak up and dissuade him, her expression filled with worry.

She was not afraid to die for justice, but she knew that dying without a fight was pointless.

Although she hated Darren, the "scoundrel" of a sailor, with every fiber of her being, she couldn't just stand by and watch him walk into his death.

Both Kiko and Kekkei forgot something.

"Well, you all make good points."

Darren grinned, a sinister smile playing on his lips.

But you saying that only makes me want to go even more..."

Gion was immediately stunned.

He added, covering his face in pain.
