Starting as a Roger Pirates Apprentice
Chapter 522: God Valley Arc: Hehe, I’ll kill you all~
"You don’t seem to be of the bloodline of those people from the past..."
Above the tall, gaunt black figure reached straight into the sky. At this moment, Its gaze sank slightly as It looked toward Orin, who was shouldering a black gun and silently exhaling smoke.
"I will not fail. Even Davy Jones will not be my opponent."
Seeing Imu acting like the final boss behind the scenes, Orin curled his lips.
Then why were you trembling all over from Joy Boy’s Conqueror’s Haki?
"So that’s how it is..."
Orin slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and flicked the cigarette away, where it vanished into nothingness midair.
"Then let’s try it. Let’s see if you can kill me."
Orin faced the ultimate ruler of the World Government head-on. Even though he was only a pirate in his early twenties, he remained utterly calm.
...
In the distance, Roger watched all this in silence for a moment. Faced with the calls from his crew over the Den Den Mushi, he chose to refuse.
"Talk to me after everyone has gathered."
Roger strode forward.
Garp also ignored his subordinates’ urging to board the ship and merely told them to speed up. He walked together with Roger.
"Even though looking at Orin makes me pretty annoyed, right now he’s the only one who can face the leader head-on, isn’t he?"
Garp said without taking any side.
"Yeah... Compared to Orin, we also have our own things we need to do."
Roger and Garp stood side by side, looking toward that towering figure who was slaughtering like a madman. Both of their Conqueror’s Haki erupted violently, and black-red thunderstorms spread across the entire island!!!
"Bring it on!!!"
"Rocks!!!!!"
With Garp and Roger joining forces, their Conqueror’s Haki shook the whole island!!!
Imu also noticed that straw-hat-wearing man, as well as the Marines, and Rocks also wanted to answer this provocation of Conqueror’s Haki.
This impulse even made Rocks forcibly shift his target without violating the control. He looked toward Garp and Roger.
It wanted to see how things would develop, but Its line of sight suddenly vanished.
This is...
"Hey, hey, hey... don’t act like I’m not here~"
Smoke burst from the muzzle. The young future overlord of the era pulled the trigger at the world’s greatest conspirator. Although he couldn’t deal effective damage, it was still extremely provocative.
Imu was shot in the head repeatedly. Even though there was no substantive damage, it was more than enough to enrage It.
"My world does not allow an aberration like you to exist!!!"
The spiked limbs lifted and stabbed fiercely toward Orin, kicking up clouds of dust, yet there was not the slightest trace of Orin there.
"How ugly, the world’s ruler throwing a tantrum like this~"
Orin’s figure appeared on a distant, ruined tree trunk. He sat there with one leg crossed, looking at Imu’s furious glare. Orin, who knew every character’s personality and past, could be a succubus of the seas, and conversely, he could also be a sharp-tongued menace who stabbed people right in the lungs.
"Your Observation Haki..."
Faced with this repeated defiance and provocation, Imu already had a lot of dissatisfaction in Its heart, but still remained relatively calm. It noticed Orin’s movement style and that almost unreasonable Observation Haki.
It made It recall, eight hundred years ago, one of the kings who had once amazed It with his Observation Haki. They were the same in that both could foresee the future, yet there were differences.
For example, even if both sides’ Observation Haki were very strong and both could see the future, the future would still very likely deviate from what was seen, because after seeing it, both sides would choose to change the future.
As for whose vision of the future would be closer to the real future after being changed, that depended on whether the Observation Haki was strong enough. And in terms of the accuracy and time span of future sight, Orin had never met an opponent.
Imu narrowed Its eyes slightly, just about to say something—
"Bang—"
A [Seastone Bullet] coated with Conqueror’s Haki and spatial power instantly pierced through Imu’s head, blasting it to pieces. Perhaps because there were too many factors preventing recovery, this time it took a long while before Imu reconstructed the crown-wearing head.
"You—"
"Bang—!!!"
"What are you babbling about?"
Orin dug in his ear with his little finger and fired another shot without thinking. And with his Observation Haki being stronger than the opponent’s, this kind of Warp-Warp bullet was something the opponent simply couldn’t defend against in advance.
And so, in the eyes of those pirates and Marines who hadn’t managed to evacuate and were still on God Valley Island, such a miraculous scene took shape.
On one side, the devil-like Rocks was now fighting Roger and Garp in tears and agony, the battle extremely fierce.
On the other side, a young, domineering figure stood there calmly, his body flickering and possibly appearing anywhere at any time, while that enormous monstrous shadow was being shot in the head again and again, unable to even finish a sentence, as if being toyed with.
"This..." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
The other Elders, watching this through Den Den Mushi, didn’t know what to say either, their faces just streaming with cold sweat. To think someone would do this to Lord Imu...
Orin didn’t know how, in the original world, Roger and Garp had safely escaped from the hands of Rocks and Imu. But right now, he only wanted to vent the displeasure in his heart.
Because he was about to witness, with his own eyes again, the curtain falling on a man he acknowledged.
Rocks was the second man he had called Captain. Even though their relationship wasn’t like that of captain and crew, it was more like a friendship across ages, because in many ways they were quite alike.
And so it went on. Orin seemed as if his stamina had no bottom at all, continuously warping around to take potshots. From time to time he’d also kill a couple of Celestial Dragons in the distance, trampling the World Government’s face under his shoes.
Imu began to grow angry. Overlord-level Conqueror’s Haki started to spread, almost enveloping the seas around God Valley, yet it couldn’t frighten Orin at all.
"I know it. The man on Davy Jones’s ship is a family member you care about, right?"
Imu began trying to attack Orin’s weak point, to force him into a head-on clash so It could use Black Turn Domination. But Orin acted as if he hadn’t heard anything and fired another shot, blowing Imu’s head apart again.
"That kind of thing is up to you..."
Orin knew that being anxious wouldn’t save that old man of this world; it would only accelerate the destruction of that grandfather and grandson, so he said with great nonchalance.
"But if he dies, I’ll kill everyone in the World Government except you."
"By then, the World Government will only have you, five old men, and a bunch of God’s Knights, endlessly cycling between destruction and recovery..."
"Your world wouldn’t exist anymore, would it?"
Orin smiled very kindly, but Imu froze in place.
"I’m right, aren’t I~?"
