12 The Valley Of The Gods Incident

Golden Lion lit a cigar and took a deep drag.

His eyes were momentarily blurred, and he recalled the incident in the Valley of the Gods.

Golden Lion started recounting the cause and effect of that incident.

"Back then, countless pirates who wanted to make a fortune for themselves gathered on Hachinosu island and Rocks took lead in uniting these people together. And that's how the later Rocks Pirate came about!"

"Me, Newgate, Linlin, John, Ochoku, Silver Axe and others were all part of it!"

"All of us joined together to create the most powerful pirate group at that time, and then more and more people joined us along the way and Rocks Pirate became the overlord of the sea at that time!"

"But with the growth of our power, everyone's ambitions were also growing. Under the leadership of Rocks, we had started to attack the heavenly gold of Celestial Dragons!"

Having said that, Golden Lion's face showed nostalgia.

"I still remember that when we first robbed the gold in the sky, when we opened the hatch, that golden light from the treasures almost blinded our eyes!"

"Naturally, with the first time, there will be the second time, and the third time..."

"It's not that Marine and the World government didn't respond to this, but the problem was that they couldn't defeat us."

"Until one day, Rocks suddenly told us that in a place called the Valley of the Gods, there are many Celestial Dragons living on it, and there is endless wealth there!"

Talking about this, Golden Lion looked at Will beside him:

"I have to say, Rocks was really a crazy person, he dared to even attack Celestial Dragons!"

"His ambition was fully revealed at that moment!"

"He wanted to overthrow the World government, kill all the Celestial Dragons, and become the master of this world!"

Will listened silently, of course he was clear about these things.

The reason why Rocks had such an idea has a lot to do with his cheap dad.

His dad died because of Celestial Dragons, after all!

"With the previous experience of looting the gold in the sky, the people below were already fearless and ready to do anything. How can they care that Celestial Dragons are inviolable existences?"

"Then, the Valley of the Gods battle broke out!"

Golden Lion paused, picked up the wine and took a few swigs.

After taking a long breath, he continued: "That was truly a shocking battle!"

"There were quite a few strong players on the Marine side. At that time, Marine Marshal Kong led the team, accompanied by Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr, Tsuru and others, and the World government also sent a large number of people."

"The two sides started a fierce battle in the Valley of the Gods. As soon as the battle started, we gained the upper hand and defeated Marine!"

"Since Marine still had to protect the Celestial Dragons, they can't let go completely and fight us freely. Taking advantage of this opportunity we soon forced Marine and Celestial Dragons to a desperate situation. But just when we were about to win a big victory, Roger appeared on the battlefield with his men!"

Having said that, a look of regret appeared on Golden Lion's face.

"It was almost there. If there was no interference from Roger, our action would have been successful!"

Then he laughed at himself again: "The Marine and Roger pirates joined forces and the situation was directly reversed."

"Rocks Pirate were killed or seriously wounded all at once!"

"Garp and Roger teamed up to take on Rocks and we were held back by the others..."

Golden Lion stopped again, with a little hesitation on his face.

It may be that the next words are a bit difficult to say.

Will took over the topic: "Rocks Pirate was originally established to make a fortune. Everyone has different goals, and there are constant infighting inside. There had never been unity among the members."

"The reason why Rocks Pirate had not disbanded before that incident was because Rocks was too strong, suppressing all of you with absolute strength!"

Golden Lion was full of surprises, he didn't expect the other party to see the essence of Rocks Pirate.

Will continued on his own: "The combination of the Roger Pirates and Marine caused the Rocks Pirate to be hit hard."

"Everyone gathered together for the sake of benefit. Once there is a crisis, of course they will fly separately in the face of disaster!"

He stared into the Golden Lion's eyes: "You guys chose to back off!"

Golden Lion was silent for a while.

"Tell me, what happened afterwards?"

This matter itself has nothing to do with right or wrong. If this choice was placed in front of him, he would likely make the same choice.

Since we are not real companions, there is no need to die for each other.

"Although the Rocks Pirate fell into a disadvantage at the time, if they wanted to defeat us all, the other party will definitely pay a heavy price!"

"I, Newgate, Linlin led some of our people out of the battlefield, and Marine didn't dare to stalk us either."

"Meanwhile Ochoku, Silver Axe and John, those three did not escape."

"Later there were rumors that John died in the Valley of the Gods, but no news about the other two came out."

"As for the Rocks..."

Needless to say, Will also knows what must have happened to the Rocks.

Even he himself was hunted down by the World government, let alone Rocks himself.

And when he was in Impel down, he didn't see Rocks there either. So his fate can be easily guessed.

After pondering for a moment, Will asked again: "Who in the Rocks Pirate knew the existence of our mother and child?"

"Rocks has my life card on him, I know this. But who leaked it?"

This is the question he wants to know the most.

When Rocks took his nails away back then, he must have made a life card with them so that he could know the safety of the mother and son duo at any time.

It was only later that it unfortunately became the cause of their own fatal crisis.

It is also because of this that Will decided to face the pursuit alone back then.

Because there is no escape for him!

A strange color flashed in Golden Lion's eyes, and it reminded him of the conversation between Will and Hilde in Impel down. Someone must have betrayed their information to Marine.

Will didn't hide it either.

"Before the Valley of the Gods incident, after Rocks sent someone a Devil Fruit, my mother and I moved to other places, and even Rocks didn't know where we moved."

"But what happened later, you should be able to guess without me telling you."

Golden Lion nodded.

He thought for a long time, and finally shook his head: "As far as I know, Rocks has never mentioned your existence in the Pirate group."

"As for whether other people have learned about it from other sources, I don't know."

Naturally, Will was a little disappointed that he didn't get the answer he wanted.

"It seems that the answer can only be obtained from Marine then. "

Golden Lion laughed and said, "It looks like they're going to be in big trouble!"

At this time Shakky came out with the food.

She looked at Will a little strangely.

The conversation between the two didn't deliberately control the volume, and she also pricked up her ears out of curiosity. Naturally she came out after she finished listening.

But what she didn't expect was that the young man in front of her had something to do with Rocks.

Will took the food, smelling the aroma, couldn't help swallowing.

Apart from anything else, he wanted to eat to his fill.

It wasn't until the food in front of him was swept away that he put down the tableware with satisfaction.

He looked at Shakky: "Thank you for your hospitality, let me introduce myself."

"Rocks·D·Will, your former captain, Rocks is my uncle!"

"I have a small request, if you know, please let me know!"

Shakky stared blankly, she didn't expect Will and Rocks to have such a relationship.

Looking at Will's smiling face, she always felt that there was horror hidden under this smile.

"I don't necessarily know..."

Will waved his hand: "It's okay, if you don't know, just treat it as my commission!"

He looked into Shakky's eyes.

"Excuse me, is Pluton Rayleigh, the vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, in Sabaody Archipelago right now?"
