Chapter 507: Chapter 507: God Valley Arc — Thunder Bagua vs. Fist

Even though this wasn’t the first time he’d seen a scene like this, Orin still found it hard to accept.

Did it really have to be this over-the-top, hey?!

With Shakky’s appearance, it could be said that almost everyone in sight—except the young Rayleigh—now had pink hearts popping in their eyes. Even the old man was no exception.

And that was without any Love-Love Fruit boost, yet it already had a petrification-like effect. If Shakky were to eat the Love-Love Fruit and shout "Mero Mero Mero"...

This truly was a deeply repressed era.

Orin, having endured the twin trials of the underground world and the Golden City’s decadence, naturally had some resistance to beauty. He walked over to Gloriosa and looked at this younger version of the "Elder Nyon" with a complicated gaze.

"Ah~ you’re out, Orin-chan~"

Gloriosa tried to keep her composure, but there was a faint blush on her face. After all, she came from a long line of hopeless romantics. While she wouldn’t fall in love at first sight with the strong and handsome Orin, she still had a few thoughts about this young man who had defeated both Roger and the Rocks Pirates’ captains.

"Yeah. We just chatted a bit. Want to join the Rocks Pirates, Gloriosa?"

Orin felt that the current Rocks Pirates were a bit too heavy on men, and the only real beauty, Buckingham Stussy, wasn’t really to his taste—mainly because he’d seen how she’d look in the future, and just thinking about it now was hard to accept.

As for the ordinary members of the Kuja Pirates, a man this beautiful—who even surpassed Cavendish by a bit—hit right in the hearts of these perpetually single tough girls, so they all showed friendliness toward the powerful Orin.

And Orin— 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

When he stepped out of the cabin, he naturally noticed the Roger Pirates in the distance. Seeing the heartbroken and despairing expressions on Roger and Gaban, he couldn’t help but find it amusing.

Their future partners would be so enviable, yet now they insisted on chasing someone they couldn’t get. Didn’t they know the law of the pirate world? The lecherous are doomed to have no women; those with no women in their hearts end up with a pile of flings.

Beauties always fall for those who aren’t obsessed with them.

By sticking to that rule, Orin was able to get along with everyone on the sea, building great relationships everywhere—he even surpassed Cavendish to become the most popular pirate of them all.

"Hey!!! Orin!!!"

"You bastard!!!"

Roger seemed furious. He hadn’t expected the woman he liked to be so close to his son, and being the straightforward type, he instantly lost it.

Orin’s face darkened, but before he could do anything, a black shadow shot past him and landed straight on the Roger Pirates’ ship.

"Bang—"

With one kick, Roger’s forehead swelled up with a big bump, yet his eyes were still full of hearts.

"I won’t allow you to be so rude to my guest, Roger."

Shakky had a cigarette in her mouth as she forced Roger into a corner.

"I will never submit to anyone. You can’t sway my will."

Then Shakky gave the order to take all of the Roger Pirates’ treasure.

Orin covered his face. He really couldn’t bear to watch such a shameful scene.

Was this really the Roger Pirates he knew?

Wasn’t this exactly like those lackey pirates he’d seen before transmigrating, when they ran into the Empress?

Of course, only Orin was immune to this. Otherwise, the Rocks Pirates’ ship he commanded would probably have been looted clean as well.

Orin stood expressionlessly by the Kuja ship’s side. Then, within the wide range of his Observation Haki, he seemed to sense something approaching.

"The Navy?"

Orin murmured softly.

He looked toward the distant coastline, and sure enough, a warship was sailing in from that direction.

Just as expected.

Just like the first time Orin met Garp, what came first was a friendly—

"Meteor Fist!!!"

"Boom——!!!"

Each shell coated with Armament Haki and Conqueror’s Haki carried earth-shaking power. Orin looked at the shell flying toward the Kuja Pirates. With just a glance, it exploded in midair.

"Seriously, there’s no helping it when you run into this guy..."

Orin rubbed his head helplessly, then waved to Gloriosa and Shakky.

"If there’s a chance, let’s meet again on Hachinosu Island."

Orin smiled, stepped on the railing, and instantly appeared on the Rocks Pirates’ deck.

"Set sail. Let the Roger Pirates help us hold off the Navy!!!"

Keek also snapped out of his heart-eyed state. Hearing Orin, he clenched his fist unwillingly, then could only watch as the Roger Pirates clashed with the Navy led by Garp.

"Wait!!! You’re the Rocks Pirates, right!!!"

Garp roared, instinctively ignoring the escaping Kuja Pirates and locking onto the Rocks Pirates’ ship where Orin was. Using Geppo, he smashed Roger’s face crooked with a powerful blow, then, before the other could react, headed straight for Orin.

Rayleigh, who was entangled with Bogard, saw this and felt something was wrong. Though Orin had put him to sleep once, they did have some ties. If that old bastard Garp messed around...

Cold sweat broke out on Rayleigh’s face.

It wasn’t that he was afraid Garp could do anything to Orin. The real problem was—if the ship got wrecked, wouldn’t Orin just end up mooching a ride on the Roger Pirates’ ship? That kid was sneaky as hell...

Fortunately, Garp didn’t get his wish.

As he chased Orin’s group, the Rocks Pirates’ lackeys also noticed this famous monster Vice Admiral. Seeing that figure wreathed in black and red lightning closing in, they covered their faces in terror. Even Keek couldn’t help but step back a few paces. Facing a monster who could chase three captains at once, he felt his confidence waver.

But right then—

"We can’t let you wreck our ship, Garp."

A reliable, steady voice came from behind.

A tall figure stepped forward, his cloak fluttering behind him as he moved to stand in front of them.

"Captain Orin!!!"

"That’s great!!!"

The lackeys looked at Orin with adoration. He snapped his fingers, and a pair of black leather gloves slowly appeared on his hands. He reversed his grip on the black gun he carried on his back.

With a burst of space and Conqueror’s Haki charging, accompanied by a twist in space, he instantly appeared in front of Garp, who was using Geppo.

Before Garp’s widened eyes, it was as if he were seeing, decades later, Luffy witnessing the "Thunder Bagua"—

Savage and terrifying!!!
