Compared to Bai Ye and Rocks, Whitebeard and others didn't want to completely offend the Celestial Dragons.
Killing Celestial Dragons was tantamount to declaring war on the World Government, and for all time to come, they would be relentlessly hunted down by the World Government. So when Bai Ye brought this up, they didn't immediately agree.
"Let's call this the Brave's Game!"
Bai Ye smiled as he looked at them. He could tell that they didn't really want to participate, otherwise they wouldn't have been so obviously slacking off at God Valley.
Linlin and Kaido had grabbed their Devil Fruits and were ready to run, Whitebeard had fought Saint Figarland Garling and contributed, as for Golden Lion and the others, it was unknown, but judging by Rocks being ganged up on by Garp and Roger, these guys most likely put in minimal effort.
So, getting them to participate in this game wouldn't be easy.
"Bai Ye, you're a cunning one!"
Golden Lion took a puff from his cigar, then blew a smoke ring, looking at Bai Ye and speaking indifferently.
He had just confessed to killing a Celestial Dragon on Sabaody Archipelago; was this a ploy to drag them into it?
"This matter isn't mandatory to participate in, and besides, the Celestial Dragons might have already retreated, who knows? In any case, even if you participate, you can choose not to kill. It's just owing a favor anyway. This favor can be used to ask the other party to help with one thing, but it's not allowed to be beyond the scope of what the other party can accept!"
The so-called 'acceptable scope' was quite broad.
Everyone initially didn't want to participate, but then they suddenly felt like they could give it a try.
After all, even if they lost and were later asked to do something, if it suited them, they would help the other party once. If it didn't, they could completely use that excuse to brush it off. Overall, it didn't seem like too much of a loss, and the main thing was that they could gain favors from others.
"Of course I'm the first to support you!"
Rocks was the first to express his joining the plan after Bai Ye finished speaking!
"As long as it's not for my treasure, I can still help with something. It's the Brave's Game, after all, and I, Captain John, am no coward!"
Captain John naturally wouldn't be left out. Although he knew he would lose, his bottom line was treasure. As long as his treasure wasn't touched, everything was fine. He'd just consider it supporting Bai Ye.
"I'm in too!"
Kaido gritted his teeth, then decided to participate as well.
He wanted to prove that he was stronger than Bai Ye. Although he knew that once he fought the Celestial Dragons, he would definitely be in a lot of trouble, the World Government still didn't want to let him go even now. His Oni race identity destined him to be hunted by the World Government for life. If there was a chance, they would not hesitate to capture him. So, killing or not killing Celestial Dragons actually made no big difference to Kaido. At worst, he would just hide in the New World forever!
"Gurararararara, it seems I can't not participate now, can I?"
Since it was a dispensable favor, it didn't seem so difficult to accept.
"I'm joining too!"
Charlotte Linlin's eyes lit up. Disregarding Longbread's frantic hints, she immediately agreed to join.
If she won, she would make everyone present have a child with her!
"It's over."
Longbread rubbed his forehead, thinking helplessly. His attempt to stop her was too late; Charlotte Linlin had still agreed.
But it was still good, at least favors could be refused.
With this premise, everyone readily agreed. After all, if others didn't dare to kill, and they casually killed one, wouldn't all the other people owe them a favor later on?
"How about recording it? Before killing, you must record the scene of their death?"
"Alright!"
The few readily agreed. After landing on God Valley, their competition began!
God Valley.
Saint Figarland Garling frowned, looking in one direction: "Those guys are here!"
The arrival of Rocks and his crew disrupted their hunting plan.
And now, they had no choice but to shift to resisting the Rocks Pirates' invasion. Moreover, the weaker Celestial Dragons also needed to retreat.
Saint Jeygarsia Saturn was preparing to transfer this group of people, but due to the previous hunt, they were currently scattered across various locations on the island. They still needed to wait for them to return before they could take everyone away together.
"Quickly hunt down all the slaves on the island, and the others, quickly transfer out. The Rocks Pirates have landed with their full crew, it won't be easy to handle then!"
A little girl holding a gun looked at everyone. The Five Elders had given orders to cover the retreat of the Celestial Dragons on the island, and then kill Rocks and Bai Ye. Other members didn't need to be dealt with at full strength.
At the same time, all the indigenous people on the island must be killed, not a single one left!
"Then the hunt continues!"
A cruel glint flashed across Saint Figarland Garling's face. He didn't choose to stop because of the Rocks Pirates' arrival. Since all the slaves on the island were going to be killed in the end anyway, then this game was not over yet!
"Of course, I won't let you win, Garin!"
The man with the mask on his head said indifferently.
"I want to win the trophy for the Mamaiye family!"
The little girl was also not going to give up. Their competition was far from over, and the other God's Knights tacitly did not object, clearly thinking that the hunt was not over yet.
"Kuma, Ivankov, we must save ourselves!"
Elsewhere on God Valley, Ginny was looking at Kuma and Ivankov seriously.
The slaughter on the island had already begun. Although she didn't know if anyone would receive the message she sent out, they might as well find an opportunity themselves rather than placing their hopes on others.
"What?"
Ivankov turned his head to look at Ginny, and Kuma also looked over curiously.
"Didn't we overhear their prizes before? There were Devil Fruits among them. If we can get our hands on those prizes before this, then we'll have a chance to leave this place!"
Ginny quickly reminded them of what they had overheard. Originally, she was somewhat hesitant, as with their strength, if they tried to steal the Devil Fruit treasure chest, they would most likely fail and lose their lives.
But the current situation was that if they didn't go, they would surely die; if they went, there was still a chance to survive.
"But wouldn't going there now be suicide?"
Someone must be guarding it, right?
"Didn't you notice that the slaughter on the island seems to have stopped for a while? And many Celestial Dragons seem to be rushing to leave. I suspect there might be other forces involved. Although I can't be sure, this is our only hope!"
Ginny had no idea what the situation was, nor could she be sure, so she could only think positively.
The Celestial Dragons had seemed a bit flustered when they passed by her hiding place earlier, and she was analyzing based on that. But whether they were rushing to kill other slaves, Ginny couldn't be sure.
But she didn't want to wait for death here; she'd rather take a gamble!
"Okay, I'll listen to you!"
Kuma nodded in agreement.
"Then I'll go too!"
Ivankov also didn't refuse. The trio had survived until now thanks to Ginny, so he was willing to trust her.
The trio quietly made their way towards the location where the Devil Fruits were hidden.
On the west coast of God Valley, a large number of World Government personnel were already waiting.
After learning of the Rocks Pirates' arrival and landing location, the World Government sent people to block them in advance.
Their only purpose was to buy time; the people here were nothing more than expendable cannon fodder!
"Little ones, charge forward for me! Whatever you seize on the island is yours! Let the World Government know the price of stealing treasure from our Rocks Pirates!!"
At Rocks' command, the pirates present instantly became excited.
They had already known on the ship that there were many treasures on the island, and also top-grade Devil Fruits. Many people were hoping to eat a top-grade Devil Fruit and then soar to great heights.
Bai Ye, a living example, was right before their eyes!
"Yo, you're really full of spirit, aren't you?"
Bai Ye's hand made a magnetic field rotate for a moment, then it disappeared completely. Speaking of which, he really wanted to create an electromagnetic storm here.
After eating the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, Bai Ye discovered that his Rumble-Rumble Fruit seemed to have awakened an incredible characteristic. With the two Devil Fruits interacting, he also understood how strong electromagnetism truly was, and even felt somewhat fortunate that he had eaten such a Devil Fruit back then.
"Aren't you going up?"
Captain John strode past Bai Ye, curiously turning his head to look at him. He wouldn't wait for Bai Ye; any treasure he got, he would take all of it!
No one could touch his treasure!
"Hmph, if I get that Devil Fruit, I won't give it to you!"
Kaido passed by Bai Ye, calmly saying. Although Rocks had already claimed it, he was putting it out there: if he took it, he would eat it directly, even though he preferred the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.
"I'd love to see how you're going to take this Devil Fruit from my hands!"
Bai Ye remained calm. He already knew where the Devil Fruit was. The Rumble-Rumble Fruit had this advantage; he could follow Ginny and the others' direction to know the location of the prizes. Moreover, after eating the Magnet-Magnet Fruit, his Observation Haki was much stronger than before.
Positioning based on magnetic fields was even more precise, after all, Zoan types had special magnetic fields!
Taking out a Den Den Mushi for broadcasting, he was already prepared. Today was going to be a big event!
Watching the Rocks Pirates leave one after another, and the entrance, originally blocked by a human wall of World Government forces, had long been carved into a bloody path, countless pirates had already rushed into God Valley, ready to plunder.
"Hello, hello, can you hear me?"
Bai Ye curiously leaned towards the Den Den Mushi. This was his first time using this kind of Den Den Mushi.
The broadcast Den Den Mushi could transmit signals to connected locations. He had also picked this one up at an auction house.
Through the screen, Bai Ye's face appeared on various screens across the four seas and parts of the Grand Line.
At Marineford, Kong, who received the broadcast signal from his subordinates, gritted his teeth as he stared at the face on the screen: "What in the world is this bastard doing!?!"
He's actually live streaming, and it's a live stream of God Valley!
At this moment, Morgans, who was just starting out, seemed to have discovered a business opportunity. He immediately ordered his news birds to start moving and helped Bai Ye broadcast the live stream to more places in the world.
He had received secret information that Bai Ye had killed a Celestial Dragon, and Bai Ye's live broadcast at this time, in Morgans' opinion, must contain some big news. He had to use this event to expand his newspaper agency. He wanted to monopolize the world's news, and this was an opportunity!
Originally, it was only a few localized broadcasts, and the World Government had quickly cut off the signal. But with Morgans' involvement, his unique live broadcast was still being re-transmitted.
"Investigate!! Which bastard is still broadcasting!!"
Mary Geoise, the Holy Land.
Nusjuro Saint gripped the sword in his hand, wishing he could kill the guy who was still broadcasting.
If the God Valley incident were exposed, the World Government would lose face!
God Valley.
"How is it? Is there a picture?"
Bai Ye took out a Den Den Mushi and dialed a number, while a Shadow Clone on Sabaody Archipelago looked at the live broadcast screen and said, "Yes."
"Alright, you keep watching then!"
Since there was a picture, it was easy to handle.
First, he shielded the surrounding electromagnetic field, leaving only his broadcast Den Den Mushi usable. All other Den Den Mushi instantly became inoperable, and the next second, Bai Ye controlled them to project his image.
"First, let me introduce myself. I am the Captain of the Rocks Pirates' Fourth Division. We are currently in God Valley, oh, that's right, it's not marked on the map, but it's a very interesting place, the Celestial Dragons' hunting ground. A hunting game is being held here, a competition where Celestial Dragons hunt slaves."
Bai Ye calmly explained the surrounding environment. Since he had decided to be an enemy of the World Government, Bai Ye naturally wouldn't let such a good opportunity at God Valley go to waste.
The World Government would absolutely not dare to expose the God Valley incident, and Bai Ye was going to do just that!
He didn't like being an unsung hero.
And as Bai Ye's words spread throughout the world, Morgans was already uncontrollably excited. His broadcast had his newspaper agency's name on it, how could he not be excited? He could already imagine how great his newspaper agency would become after this incident!
He wished he could hug and kiss Bai Ye right now!
He was practically his own biological father!
Speak! You must speak more! Bring more explosive news!
"So, from now on, I also want to play a game with the Celestial Dragons. Those who consider themselves high and mighty creators, gods of the world, can they remain composed in the face of death? Now, the tables have turned, Celestial Dragons, live on in your ugliness, constantly fleeing just to survive.
From now on, I declare the hunting game officially begun! So, let everyone see if the blood of Celestial Dragons is the same as that of ordinary people!"
Madman!
The Celestial Dragons on God Valley felt a chill run down their spines.
They never expected that one day they would become the hunted.
"That guy must be the one we have to eliminate, right?"
Saint Figarland Garling looked at the screen, a cold sneer flashing in his heart.
Hunting Celestial Dragons?
And even live broadcasting it in public, he had to kill this guy!
"CP agents, quickly bring the Celestial Dragons over!"
Saint Jeygarsia Saturn commanded with a grim face.
He wouldn't believe it if others said such a thing, but Bai Ye was different. This madman had just killed a Celestial Dragon on Sabaody Archipelago!
