Chapter 118
Aitrias Vilin, Bounty: 1.2 Billion Berries, Mori-Mori Fruit Ability User.
When they saw the Mori-Mori Fruit, the sword-wielding Five Elder let out a light sound of surprise.
"Hm?"
"This Mori-Mori Fruit was supposed to be given as a reward to Aramaki, right?" "Why is it on him now?"
The sword-wielding Elder looked at Satan Saint with confusion.
Soon the other three Elders also turned their gazes toward Satan Saint.
Seeing everyone looking at him in puzzlement, Satan Saint spoke somewhat helplessly:
"Aramaki said the Mori-Mori Fruit gradually turned into an ordinary fruit in his hands." "So I had no choice but to give him a replacement Devil Fruit."
"Turned into an ordinary fruit?"
"It seems this Vilin is highly compatible with this fruit!"
Soon they dropped the topic and turned their attention back to the Rocks Pirates.
The sword-wielding Elder looked toward Vochuli Saint and said:
"The Rocks Pirates have now become a very promising force!" "We must curb their momentum!"
"Understood. I will have Steel Bone Kong keep a close eye on them."
Seeing Vochuli Saint's statement, the other four Elders finally nodded.
Within the territory of the Golden Pirates, an intense battle was currently unfolding in these waters. It was clear that the Golden Pirates had fallen into a disadvantage.
On a 100-meter ship, Blite was continuously bombarding Ubel. With every punch he landed, dense cracks spread across Ubel's golden body.
However, these cracks were quickly repaired by Ubel.
Ubel was currently using the power of the Gold-Gold Fruit to repair the cracks on his surface. Under constant stamina consumption, the cracks on his body rapidly closed up.
Watching Blite excitedly charge at him again, Ubel felt somewhat depressed.
If this were inside Golden City, he wouldn't need to expend so much stamina converting surrounding buildings into gold. That would save him a massive amount of energy.
Just as the two continued clashing, suddenly, their intelligence officers rushed over and brought them a shocking piece of news.
"Captain Blite!" "Captain Ubel!" "Just received word — the Rocks Pirates sneak-attacked Lion King Island and killed Earl Jones!"
Upon hearing this news, both of them forgot about attacking. They stopped their hands, and their faces quickly darkened.
Neither had expected that after both their crews suffered heavy losses, the Rocks Pirates would swoop in and reap the benefits.
This made them both extremely furious.
As both captains ceased fighting, their executives also unconsciously stopped, all turning their gazes toward their respective captains.
After a long silence, Ubel's eyes shifted and he immediately spoke:
"Blite, how about we put our grudge aside for now?" "If we keep fighting like this, we'll only give the Navy and Rocks Pirates an opportunity!"
Hearing Ubel's words, Blite also fell silent, but he quickly came back to his senses.
Looking at the currently defenseless Ubel, a cunning glint flashed in his eyes and disappeared.
He agreed with Ubel's proposal. But he wanted more than that.
Although the Rocks Pirates and the Navy were his enemies, Ubel was also his enemy.
He wanted to use this opportunity to severely weaken Ubel's forces, turning him into a gatekeeper of the first half of the New World.
After he dealt with the Rocks Pirates, he would come back to settle things with him.
Having made up his mind, purple aura exploded from Blite's eyes.
Meteor Fist – Star Shatter!
He raised his arm and punched straight into Ubel's chest.
BANG!
The undefended Ubel was instantly blasted into the sea by Blite's full-force strike.
The moment he touched the sea, Ubel instantly felt his entire body become powerless.
Seeing this, all the Golden Pirates executives wanted to rush to the rescue.
But Blite was faster. A purple afterimage instantly appeared above Ubel and lifted him up.
After arriving at the bow of a pirate ship, Blite looked at all the pirates present and said:
"Golden Pirates!" "You have lost!" "Now it's time to discuss the price you will pay for your defeat."
Seeing Ubel already captured by the other side, the fighting spirit of the Golden Pirates instantly dissipated by more than half.
Even Bario and Thornton furrowed their brows and stopped their actions.
This battle ultimately ended in victory for the Iron Wall Pirates.
Soon the World Economic Journal also learned that the Rocks Pirates had sneak-attacked Lion King Island and killed Earl Jones, one of the top powerhouses of the New World.
In response, the president of the World Economic Journal immediately worked through the night to publish this newspaper and spread it.
The next day, a piece of news that shocked all forces in the New World rapidly spread across the New World.
September 1474, the Rocks Pirates successfully sneak-attacked Lion King Island and killed Earl Jones, the great pirate who had dominated the second half of the New World for decades.
As this newspaper spread, the New World instantly exploded.
All kingdoms began to become wary of the Rocks Pirates, and some kingdoms even proactively sought to establish secret cooperative relations with the Rocks Pirates.
Not long after this news spread, another piece of news was quickly reported.
September 1474, the Iron Wall Pirates defeated the Golden Pirates within the Golden Pirates' territory.
As this news spread, it also helped the Iron Wall Pirates regain quite a bit of face.
On the way back to Beehive Island, something surprising happened on the ship carrying the Aitrias Pirates — Aurora was about to give birth.
On the large ship of the Aitrias Pirates, at this moment, Vilin was anxiously pacing back and forth around a tightly closed room.
Seeing the anxious look on Vilin's face, Rouge holding Naz, Olvia holding Robin, and Shakky standing beside Vilin kept comforting him.
Hearing Aurora's painful cries coming from the delivery room, Vilin's heart clenched tightly.
Just as everyone was filled with anxiety, a cry as beautiful as heavenly music suddenly rang out from the delivery room.
Seeing this, Vilin instantly rushed excitedly into the now-open delivery room.
Entering the delivery room, Vilin quickly saw Aurora, pale and bloodless, gently looking at the baby held in the hands of a white-clothed nurse.
Seeing Aurora in such a weak state, Vilin immediately condensed a green ball of light from his hand and injected it into her body.
