All kidding aside, Rocks really asked me to be the captain!

Whitebeard had never seen the so-called devil fruit encyclopedia, so he didn't know what type of devil fruit the one in his hand was.

In fact, in the entire world, the vast majority of people, even more than 99%, have never heard of such a thing as a Devil Fruit Encyclopedia.

Only a small number of senior officials have the opportunity to understand and read this extremely precious book.

The reason is simple, because this encyclopedia of devil fruits will directly give the lower-class civilians the ability to better identify devil fruits.

In this world where power is truth, once civilians have the method to identify the types of devil fruits.

It is conceivable how many powerful and uncontrollable guys will be created!

After all, except for a few useful devil fruits, the vast majority of the rest are very useless abilities.

For example, the fruit ability of some flowers and plants is only to bloom a flower on the ground.

Or maybe it's the minecart fruit that is known as the Sao Sao company, which is ten times more garbage than the original. Its ability is just to transform itself into a minecart for transporting minerals on a road with rails!

There are also some more famous flash fruits! Although the name is very similar to the natural flash fruit, this devil fruit is indeed a superhuman ability.

The ability is to emit a dazzling light to temporarily blind the enemy!

Although it looks very good on the surface, as a strong man of his generation, possessing Observation Haki is the most basic ability.

In other words, this superhuman-type Flash Fruit is ten times worse than the Flame-Flame Fruit!

Perhaps the pirate who ate this devil fruit would make the other party feel a certain tricky feeling when he met a blind admiral.

The first half of the Grand Line: Sabaody Archipelago!

It has been a week or so since the battle on the God Valley Island.

But now, the islands attached to various countries around the world are still hotly discussing the battle between the government and the Rocks Pirates.

"It's really exciting! I never thought that such a powerful team like the Rocks Pirates would still be beaten back to Hatchinos by the World Government!"

"That's for sure! After all, if a world government with so many countries joining in didn't have some strength, it wouldn't have existed in this world for 800 years!"

"Huh? But I remember hearing rumors that the Rocks Pirates seemed to want to learn from the development trend of the World Government and set up a new government by collecting protection fees? At such a critical moment, they shouldn't do something like massacring civilians, right?"

"Who knows? A thief will always be a thief! Never trust a pirate to do good things!"

A group of people were excitedly discussing the news in the World Government's current affairs newspaper that was promoting the heroic vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters and the victory of the war.

However, at this moment, groups of strange-looking albatrosses with newspapers on their chests suddenly flew over a series of prosperous countries such as the Sabaody Archipelago, the Seven Water Cities, the Desert Kingdom, and Wano Country.

After flying high in the sky, these albatrosses loosen their claws and directly scatter all the newspapers on their bodies, which looks as spectacular as falling snowflakes!

"Is it today's newspaper? What happened? Is it still announcing victory in the war?"

"The World Government's PR department shouldn't be that idle, they've been sending out newspapers for almost a week straight!"

"What new and interesting things have happened on the sea? Who cares? Let's pick it up and take a look. It doesn't cost money anyway~"

After the newspaper fell, a group of people rushed forward to grab it because they didn't have to pay for it.

However, these albatrosses responsible for delivering newspapers seemed to be dispatched by special personnel, and the number of newspapers they carried was as high as hundreds of thousands!

Such a huge number is enough for most people to clearly see what is recorded in the newspaper.

"This! Is this true? The Rocks Pirates are the winners of the war in God Valley this time! Everyone in the world has been deceived by the World Government!"

"Marshal Netanya of the Navy Headquarters! Died in the Valley of the Gods! Rocks chopped off his head with a single blow! So that's how it is. No wonder the Navy Headquarters suddenly announced the appointment of a new marshal recently!!!"

"More than 1000 of the world's noble Celestial Dragons were killed right on the island! This is really shocking news!!!"

"So the celestial dragons who call themselves gods can also be killed? That's 1000 lives! Not a single one was left alive. All of them had their heads chopped off. Some were even chopped into three pieces with just one knife!!!"

"Even the elite soldiers of the Navy Headquarters and the large security team formed by the senior agents of the CP organization were directly killed with more than 10,000 people!!!"

"Captain of the Rocks Pirates' 7th Division! The evil demon Rahu!!!! This bloody method is really too terrifying!!!"

"And the Five Elders, who hold the highest power in the world, were actually at the scene of the war! And one of the Five Elders even had his legs chopped off!!!"

"This news is so scary that it seems fake! Are the Rocks Pirates really that powerful? Which one is more real, the news from the World Government or this newspaper from an unknown source?"

All over the world, people who picked up newspapers and read the news recorded on them all had their pupils shrink suddenly and their bodies stiffen in place.

They couldn't believe that in the world they had always regarded as gods, the nobles would one day be hacked to death on the roadside like pigs and dogs!

Although everyone was somewhat skeptical about the authenticity of this newspaper of unknown origin.

But they do have pictures and the truth!

Judging from the pictures in the newspaper, there were indeed groups of Celestial Dragon corpses neatly stacked on the island in the Valley of the Gods!

The scene was filled with corpses and blood, blood flowing like a river, and broken limbs everywhere! It was like a scene from hell!

Although the scene was extremely bloody, people couldn't help but feel secretly happy after noticing that more than 1000 Celestial Dragons had died.

The world has suffered for the Celestial Dragons for a long time!

In this world, as long as you are born on the first day and breathe the first breath of fresh air, it will be classified by the world government as a necessity to collect taxes!

Severe taxes and levies caused even the richest kingdoms to be heavily in debt. The common people in the country complained bitterly but could do nothing about it.

If you don't hand over the Heavenly Gold, you won't be protected by the World Government.

Moreover, countries that are not members of the World Government are also unrecognized non-human gathering places!

That is to say, if these countries feel that the heavenly gold is too heavy and are unwilling to hand over the heavenly gold.

Then their fate will be to completely disappear in history just like those countries destroyed by the Celestial Dragons!

The rules set by the World Government require a human cleansing plan to be carried out every three years!

The target is precisely these wild countries that have not joined the World Government!

The Valley of Gods is the place chosen after the three-year period is over!

But unfortunately, because of the appearance of the Rocks Pirates, the World Government suffered its first head-on blow in the Valley of the Gods!

Especially the entire government, the number of at least 10+ military lives lost within the army further created the reputation of the Rocks Pirates!

During the war, the image of Rāhu, who single-handedly killed more than 1000 celestial dragons, with his blood-soaked body like a demon, was deeply engraved in the hearts of the people!

"This guy... every action seems to be targeting the World Government! No! He is simply targeting the Celestial Dragons!!!"

"The first time he appeared in our field of vision was because he robbed the Heavenly Gold! The second time he appeared, he directly killed three Celestial Dragons!"

"And this time it's even more powerful! In this huge war, more than 1000 world nobles were slaughtered directly!!!"

At this moment, the fear of the Celestial Dragons as a race of gods in everyone's hearts disappeared by more than 50%!

Everyone has realized that the so-called gods can also be killed!

As long as you are brave enough, you can bring down a celestial dragon with just a kitchen knife!
