"Arrest Gol D. Roger!" As the voice of Kong echoed through the military phone bug, everyone in the navy suddenly froze. Their expressions changed drastically.
Gol D. Roger. He was the top man who truly stood at the pinnacle of this sea. He was known as one of the three legendary pirates, along with Whitebeard and Golden Lion. Unlike Golden Lion and Whitebeard, Roger did not have a large pirate fleet, and his crew members were few. However, every crew member under his command was a renowned strong man on this sea. The Roger Pirates were the most balanced Iron Wall Pirates among the three legendary pirate groups.
"Did you hear that? I'm sorry, but it seems my escort can only go so far," Dragon said as he hung up the phone. The smile on his face had disappeared and was replaced with deep seriousness.
"Where is the nearest island to us?" he asked the navigator of the warship.
The navigator saluted and replied, "Report to Rear Admiral Dragon, about half an hour northeast, there is a transit supply island for the route."
Dragon nodded. "Then set off immediately towards the island. This is an order from the headquarters. You have no objections, right?" He looked towards Gion and Kake.
When Dragon became serious, his words were undeniably commanding. He was nothing like the light-hearted man he was moments ago.
Gion and Kake looked at each other and shook their heads in silence. Not only was this a direct order from Navy Fleet Admiral Cyborg Kong, but they also knew that a great pirate like Roger was not something they could handle at the moment.
Participating in an action hastily could lead to death if they were not careful. There was an unwritten rule within the Navy against powerful pirates such as Roger, Golden Lion, and Whitebeard.
Big pirates were to be handled by specific generals or combat forces of the same level. If an officer below the rank of general encountered a pirate ship like Roger's without orders from superiors, he could avoid engagement and report to his superiors without punishment. This rule was to avoid unnecessary sacrifices.
"What about you, Darren?" Dragon's eyes finally fell on the Commodore. "Although you have fought against Waldo, known as the Destroyer of Worlds, and survived, you should know that Waldo died in the North Sea due to luck. This time is different from the crusade against Waldo. The Ward Pirates were only supported by Waldo alone, but the Roger Pirates are full of strong men and talented people. Darren, it's still too early for you to fight at this level."
Gion and Kake nodded in agreement and looked at Darren. However, looking at Darren's calm expression, they had a bad feeling.
"It's indeed a bit early," Darren agreed with Dragon and nodded. But as Gion and Kake breathed a sigh of relief, Darren started to laugh. The corners of his mouth raised, and his eyes had a strong, evil look.
"But I still want to go."
"Are you crazy!?"
When Gion and Kaki heard this, they both exclaimed. A bottomless chill welled up from the soles of his feet, spreading up his spine to his forehead.
It wasn't because of anything else; they knew Darren's character very well. Once he decided on something, nothing and no one could change his mind.
"Hey, hey, hey... Darren, that's Gol D. Roger! Not the little pirates you met in the North Sea. Although Waldo is powerful, he is far behind Roger!"
Kake took a step closer and spoke to Darren in a low voice, looking nervous.
"Oh?" Darren raised his eyebrows.
Gion also whispered, breaking into a cold sweat, "There are some things you don't know, but that guy Roger is not someone we can deal with for now." She gritted her teeth. "The Battle of the Valley of Gods... do you know?"
Gion and Kaki were different from the rest of the navy on the ship. They knew better than anyone what the name Gol D. Roger meant. Extremely dangerous! All this horror came from a place name: Valley of the Gods.
Although the relevant information about that war had been completely blocked by the world government and the navy's top brass, determined to be buried in the dust of history, Gion and Kaki, with their backgrounds and talents, understood the details of that shocking and mighty war.
The Battle of the Valley of the Gods took place eight years ago. Before that war, there was a name on this sea that once terrified the world's governments and navies: Rocks D. Gibek.
Gion and Drago exchanged glances, and after confirming that the latter did not stop him, Gion continued, "Rocks was the overlord of the sea more than 10 years ago. With his immense strength and ambition, he recruited a group of powerful subordinates. It is even said that the pirate Whitebeard, the golden lion Shiji, as well as the notorious Kaido and Big Mom, were all once crew members of Rocks."
"As the power of his subordinates continued to expand, Rocks' ambitions also grew. He wanted to become the king of the world and was openly hostile to the world government. Eight years ago, he launched a crazy attack on the settlement of the world's noble Celestial Dragons..."
"So the Battle of the Valley of the Gods broke out. Facing the menacing Rocks Pirates, the Navy assembled a large force and joined forces with the then-famous newcomer Pirate Roger to form a temporary alliance. Vice Admiral Garp joined forces with Roger in that war to end Rocks' raging ambitions. He became a god in one battle and earned the nickname Hero."
"Let me put it this way, do you understand? Roger is so powerful and terrifying that we cannot compete with him at all. He is recognized by the Navy Headquarters as the most difficult enemy."
Understanding Darren's crazy character, Gion had no choice but to speak out to dissuade him, looking worried. She wasn't afraid of dying for justice, but it was meaningless to die in vain knowing that they were outmatched. Despite hating Darren, the scum of the navy, in her heart, she couldn't just watch Darren die.
But both Gion and Kaki forgot something.
"Well, you all make sense," Darren grinned broadly. "But what you said makes me want to go even more..."
Gion was immediately stunned. Kake covered his face in pain.
