Deep within the Valley of the Gods.
Haki of the Conqueror, rare even among millions, was unleashed casually here. Rocks, Kong, Golden Lion, Sengoku, Whitebeard, Big—
"Kuhaha! You're so annoying, Sengoku," Whitebeard's uniquely hearty laughter rang out. He gripped his bisento by the blade and the tail, then swung it back.
*Bzzzz!*
A white ripple formed around the bisento. Whitebeard swung it forward with force, sending the white ripple charging towards the shockwave.
*Boom!*
The white ripple and the shockwave, tens of meters in size, collided and canceled each other out, blasting open a clearing.
"This is where it ends, Whitebeard."
"Kuhaha! Then let's see."
*Boom!*
A few hundred meters was but an instant for these top-tier powerhouses. A giant golden Buddha's palm, wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, slammed fiercely into Whitebeard's bisento.
Endless black and red lightning shot outwards.
"Giant's Sword!"
Charlotte Linlin, her figure still curvaceous before any distortion, swung her sword, repelling the three masked and silent CP0 agents who were surrounding her. She summoned two special Hozumi: Thundercloud and Sun.
"Ikoku!"
"Stolen Fire!"
"Ikoku!"
While the two special Hozumi attacked, she swung forward a colossal sword energy shockwave.
*Boom! Boom! Boom!*
The three CP0 agents dodged, forming an encirclement and attacking Charlotte Linlin, their bodies wrapped in Armament Haki.
*Boom!*
*Boom!*
"Meiyo Kenshin!"
A sword energy, intertwined with lightning and flame energy, surged forward, annihilating everything in its path.
The other great pirates were temporarily held back by the World Government's CP organization and powerful slaves.
However, Rocks was unimpeded, walking directly into the palace deep within the Valley of the Gods.
Inside the palace, Rocks faced off against two of the Five Elders and Fleet Admiral Kong.
"Oh? Only three people? You really underestimate me."
"In that case, I'll take that thing."
Rocks sneered upon seeing the three inside the hall.
"You are enough to kill you."
The robust Five Elder spoke indifferently.
"Heh."
Rocks let out a light snort, boundless killing intent and Haki erupting from his body. The entire palace began to crumble, and Rocks' slightly frenzied, mad voice echoed.
"Extinction!"
Conqueror's Haki wrapped around his long sword, and he unleashed a sword energy that ripped through the air, causing spatial ripples. Fleet Admiral Kong also wrapped his arm in Conqueror's Haki.
"Steel Bone - Cone!"
He threw a punch, sending a black, compressed fist wind charging forward to collide with Rocks' sword energy.
Endless white light erupted from the point of impact, and a mushroom cloud rose into the sky...

On the other side, Roger, who had finally reached the depths of the Valley of the Gods, charged first towards Whitebeard and Sengoku.
Rayleigh and Jabra, meanwhile, headed towards Charlotte Linlin, Wang Zhi, and the other great pirates.
*Boom!*
"Kuhaha! Sengoku, you haven't improved one bit."
"Hmph, you still..."
Sengoku's golden giant palm struck Whitebeard's bisento. As the two struggled, Whitebeard grinned, taunting Sengoku. Just as Sengoku was about to retort, he was interrupted by a slash.
"Kamunijin!"
A deep voice rang out, and a slash struck the point where they were locked in combat, forcibly separating them.
"Huh? Roger."
"Damn..."
