York agreed to Rocks' request.
He had no reason to refuse.
During these years in the Rocks Pirates, although he hadn't received any special care, he had still received some help from Rocks.
Whether it was swordsmanship training or Haki training, Rocks had barely held anything back.
Even though there was no formal master-disciple title between them, there was somewhat of a master-disciple reality.
Additionally, York actually had a vague guess about who Rocks' child was.
The future Blackbeard, Teach!
The age matched perfectly!
The key point was that York didn't believe Rocks' child would be nameless in the future.
And in Luffy's era, the only one who corresponded in age, style of conduct, ambitious ability, and even appearance was Blackbeard Teach!
Rocks' entrustment was just a small interlude.
York couldn't possibly publicize it within the pirate crew.
The voyage after their meeting was smooth sailing, and finally, several days later, they successfully arrived at the coastal waters of God Valley.
"Enemy attack—!!!"
"It's the Rocks Pirates!!"
The Marines guarding the perimeter screamed, alarms sounded, and cannons began to roar.
"Wahahahaha!!"
However, their defensive measures were completely futile.
Rocks' pirate ship was several times larger than the Marine flagship. It forcibly pushed aside the Marine ships' defense and charged onto the shore.
"Oh! Lads!!"
Rocks appeared at the bow, shouting loudly.
"Shakky! Treasure! Devil Fruits!!"
"Let's not kill each other here! Let's cooperate temporarily and act together!!"
"Split the treasure equally after we return! No objections, right? Lads?!"
Fish-Man Babel: "Shakky cannot be split equally!!"
Golden Lion: "Of course, only the guy who saves her first will be fallen for!!"
Silver Axe: "Ah~! I won't yield on this matter!!"
John: "Wrong! Shakky will fall for the person who gets the most treasure!!"
Whitebeard: "Do whatever you want! I'm worried about her as a friend. Well, although being fallen for wouldn't be bad..."
Stussy: "After I rescue Shakky, can the credit be counted on York's head?"
Streusen: "Wang Zhi, who stayed on the island, is banned from entering the bar!!"
Charlotte Linlin: "What a bunch of idiots. Even if heaven and earth flip completely, Shakky won't turn back to pay attention to you!"
Gloriosa: "Linlin! That's not necessarily true! York is an exception!!"
Kaido: "I'll leave Shakky to you guys! I want a Devil Fruit!"
York: "Don't worry, Kaido. If I can grab the fruits, I'll definitely give you one!"
Rocks: "Follow me closely! Lads!!"
Rocks was the first to leap down from the pirate ship's bow.
Radiating holy white light from his entire body, York was the second to leap down.
The Rocks Pirates members stiffened collectively, cursing one after another: "York, you bastard! Didn't we agree to cooperate!!"
"I'm responsible for clearing the path!!"
York shouted without looking back. The holy light blooming from him incapacitated hundreds upon hundreds of Marine soldiers.
They all collapsed to the ground, bodies arched like shrimp, expressions intoxicated and lost.
"Happy~~ Blissful~~"
The Marines who were firing guns and cannons with full force to block Rocks and the others were instantly cleared out.
Seeing this scene, although the Rocks Pirates were still unhappy that York played a small trick on them, they only snorted coldly.
However, York had no intention of waiting for them.
The moment he jumped from the bow and landed, he catapulted up rapidly.
Because of the high leap, the holy light released from his body covered a larger range.
"Mmph~~ So... comfortable..."
A Marine Vice Admiral commanding operations from a distance groaned, his body bending uncontrollably at the waist.
"Adolph D. York! What is this bizarre ability..."
The high-leaping York had no interest in coming over to deal with this Vice Admiral.
He had many goals for this trip.
The first goal, of course, was to snatch those Devil Fruits serving as prizes. If he remembered correctly, there should be six.
The Azure Dragon Fruit could be given to Kaido as a favor, and the Paw-Paw Fruit could be given to Kuma as in the original story.
If he could get all the remaining four, once he secured Vegapunk in the future, he could freely choose one to make up for current deficiencies.
The second goal was naturally the kidnapped Shakky.
York was determined to get this woman.
Of course, provided she hadn't been defiled by the Celestial Dragons this past year.
If she had already been used by the Celestial Dragons, then better leave her to Rayleigh and be a good person.
The third goal was to protect and take away Rocks' wife and child.
Ranking third was mainly because Rocks himself was still here, and Rocks certainly valued the lives of his wife and child more than York did.
Clarifying the order of mission objectives, York directly ignored all Marines coming to stop him.
Under the universal illumination of holy light, its effect was even more useful than Conqueror's Haki.
While advancing toward the island's interior, York searched left and right for possible targets.
"Disaster! Pirates are here!!"
Panicked Celestial Dragons angrily cursed at a group of Marines.
Suddenly, holy white light shone over.
The cursing Celestial Dragons and the scolded Marines stiffened collectively.
Immediately after, as if their souls were extracted, they collapsed to the ground, emitting strange "hehehehe" giggles from their mouths, their waists thrusting forward rhythmically.
York changed his route, leaping toward this spot.
Upon landing, he extended his palm forward.
Holy tentacles with magic patterns on the surface were released from his palm, rapidly wrapping around the Celestial Dragons here.
"Oh oh oh oh..."
The pleasure brought by the ability intensified several times instantly. The Celestial Dragons let out exaggerated cries of surprise.
York asked: "Where is the prize podium? Where is Shakky being held? And where is the Davy clan?"
The Celestial Dragons, already controlled by the ability, answered everything they knew.
"The prize podium is in the central plaza... Shakky is also there... Don't know about the Davy clan... they are 'rabbits', hiding..."
Hearing this, the corner of York's mouth hooked up.
"Thanks for the info!"
"To thank you, I gift you a happy death!!"
The holy light tentacles wrapped around the Celestial Dragons tightened step by step like pythons. At the same time, the pleasure granted by the ability increased geometrically.
The Celestial Dragons' heads shook left and right, emitting exaggerated, high-pitched screams.
Fresh red mixed with pale yellow liquid seeped out from their astronaut-like suits.
Suddenly, the Celestial Dragons' screams stopped abruptly, and their breathing ceased completely.
"Adolph D. York... you dare..."
A Marine Rear Admiral curled up on the ground saw this scene, unable to believe York actually dared to be so ruthless.
York glanced at him indifferently, having no interest in wasting time with him.
After killing these few Celestial Dragons, he leaped up directly, rushing rapidly toward the canyon between the two unique large mountains of God Valley.
"Central plaza... should be in the center of the canyon..."
York guessed. He wasn't actually very sure, but who asked for the intelligence on God Valley not to be fully released before his transmigration?
