"Captain, Captain, you're dead, why did you have to come back to life?"

Now, for some reason, the Golden Lion had a sudden thought: to have Iss bring people over again to besiege Rocks.

...obstruction...

Chapter 117

I'm sick and need to take a day off. My head is spinning, and I just can't seem to write anything while sitting in front of the computer. I'll make up for it when I feel better. That's all for today. Also, thank you so much to all my readers for your flowers and monthly tickets!

PS: This chapter is 4,000 words long and is to make up for yesterday's missed update.

It was nearly noon. After a morning of taijutsu training, Is and Madara Uchiha were sitting under the shade of a tree in the courtyard, discussing matters.

"Did you find anything?"

After taking a sip of red wine, Madara Uchiha looked at Is.

Is shook his head: "We haven't found anything yet. The Celestial Dragons here don't seem to know either, and what they're doing isn't anything special. It's similar to the situation in Mary Geoise."

"Could it be that the rumors about God Valley possessing secrets about the Celestial Dragons are just something the higher-ups say to deceive you, and that their only goal is to lure you to God Valley?"

Acunorokia leaned back in his chair and casually shared his opinion.

“That’s possible.” Jikuni nodded, agreeing with what Acnologia said.

However, Is firmly believed that God Valley held the secrets of the Celestial Dragons, after all, the Rocks Pirates perished in this very place in the original story.

This is the Celestial Dragons' second base. Rocks would never come here unless he had a specific purpose, since there are quite a few Navy forces stationed nearby.

Lox wouldn't deliberately seek trouble, so there must be something he needs hidden here that he would go to great lengths to come here.

It's just that... Is hasn't been found yet.

"They really hid it well."

Is scoffed, then slowly raised his hand. One by one, the papers fell off and transformed into butterflies. The butterflies flapped their wings and flew into the sky.

Clearly, these are reconnaissance butterflies. With these, Is can keep track of the Celestial Dragons' movements here at any time.

Moreover, there might be unexpected gains that lead to the discovery of the secrets of God Valley.

Just as the topic was about to continue, Tornado flew over hastily, newspaper in hand.

"Something's wrong...something's wrong! Is!!!"

Everyone looked at her, each with a big question mark on their face.

"What happened? Why are you so tense?" Yoriichi Tsugikuni asked.

"Could it be... that pirates have attacked God Valley? If that's the case, it doesn't seem like such a bad thing," Madara Uchiha said with a faint smile.

Tornado ignored them and quickly went to Is's side, handing him a newspaper while hurriedly saying, "Rocks... that guy Rocks is still alive!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expression changed drastically, but Is remained calm. Yes, he already knew when he taught Hashirama Senju Haki that not only Rocks was still alive, but even Whitebeard was still alive.

“Hmm? Is and I already knew about this, because we ran into that guy named Edward Newgate once while we were training.” Hashirama Senju, who was sitting next to him, responded.

Is nodded and smiled faintly: "Yes, we already knew. However, it seems that Lockes is going to bring those officers who escaped from prison back to the team."

Anyone with a brain can guess that Rocks' current move is clearly aimed at gathering his former subordinates.

After glancing at the newspaper a few times, Is placed it on the stone table and continued, "I forgot to tell you, have them deliver the newspaper to us every day."

Tornado pouted, put her hands on her hips in mid-air, and said boastfully, "I knew this would happen, so I told them in advance to have the World Government personnel bring us the daily newspapers."

“Awesome!”

Is gave her a thumbs up.

Hearing Is's praise, Tornado felt a surge of pride, though she didn't show it on her face.

Tornado shrugged helplessly, "There's nothing I can do. Who told me to end up with such a forgetful man?"

At the same time, Retsu Unohana had already walked to the shade of the trees in the back garden and came to Is's side.

"I've taken care of the task you asked me to do. The list of nearly twenty maids has been completed and they've all been added to the list of nobles. The World Government is very efficient; they confirmed it on the spot and it was done."

"Uh-huh."

Is nodded, quite satisfied.

Retsu Unohana noticed the newspaper on the table, reached over to pick it up, glanced at it, and then said gently, "Are you talking about this?"

"Yes, Rocks is not dead."

"Whether he lives or dies poses no threat to us anymore."

Is really not concerned about the fact that Rocks is still alive.

The new maids were always diligent and humbly accepted the advice of the maids who had arrived earlier. They got along very well, and the new maids treated the older maids as older sisters, while the older maids treated the younger ones as younger sisters.

Having practiced all morning and sweated a lot, Is felt sticky all over, so he decided to take a bath in the artificial hot spring before enjoying a delicious lunch.

However, as he carried his clothes to the path leading to the artificial hot spring, a dozen maids stood in front of him.

Is looked slightly surprised, but did not say anything.

"Hello, Master!"

They spoke in unison.

Is nodded without saying much. They were about to pass each other and head straight for the artificial hot spring, but the next second, their actions stunned Is.

They all knelt down, holding up the hems of their skirts with their bare hands.

""

"What are you doing? If you want to leave, go talk to Minian, she'll handle it," Is said calmly.

"No, no, no..."

They quickly began to explain, afraid that Is would continue to misunderstand.

“Master, you misunderstand. We are thanking you for saving our lives. We know that you are a special Celestial Dragon, and you have even included us in the list of nobles. The only way we can repay you is to serve you for the rest of our lives.”

Yes, at this moment, they had all made up their minds to serve Is for the rest of their lives.

Is hadn't expected this outcome.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Master."

The maids slowly stood up.

"Master, are you going to take a bath?"

"Uh-huh."

“We heard from our sister that bathing is also one of our duties, right, Master?” one of the maids said, a blush appearing on her face. From this, one could roughly tell how much information was involved.

Moreover, after that maid finished speaking, the other maids all blushed.

"..."

"This is not a rule, and you don't have to follow it at all."

After leaving a message, Is didn't waste any more time, since it was almost lunchtime.

This artificial hot spring is much larger than the one in Mary Geoise. After changing into a towel, Is entered the hot spring and closed his eyes to relax and enjoy it for a while.

However, to his surprise, all the maids came over, and they were all stunningly beautiful. He was truly a winner in life.

(I won't go into too much detail, but last time I revised it to the point of questioning my existence.)

"Master, you've been cultivating hard all morning, let us help you relax."

Then began a training regimen even more arduous than cultivation itself...

In the blink of an eye, more than a week had passed. During this time, the Rocks Pirates' officers reunited, clashed with the Navy, and then officially set sail.

That's all that made it into the newspapers; there was no further information about the Rocks Pirates after that.

However, Roger did have a little bit, but it was insignificant.

Although there was no news of Rocks in the newspapers, it didn't mean that Rocks had accomplished nothing. Their current goal was still to find the three ancient weapons recorded in the Poneglyphs.

Fishman Island.

Because of the appearance of the Rocks Pirates, Fishman Island has become a battlefield. With Rocks' strength, they quickly took control of Fishman Island.

But what happened next was something that Rocks could not accept.

Yes, Poseidon, one of the three ancient weapons, has not yet been born. They... arrived too early, far too early.

This news completely devastated Rocks. They were hoping to conquer the world with the help of Poseidon, but what happened? What happened?

"Captain Rocks, according to them, Poseidon, the Sea King, hasn't been born yet. We... have wasted our time." One of the officers looked at Rocks and said softly.

Lox sat on a rock, unable to calm his emotions for a long time.

"Heaven has forsaken me, Lox! Heaven has truly forsaken me, Lox!" Lox's voice was almost hoarse, after all, this event was a huge blow to him.

He could wait a year or two, but waiting for double-digit years was far too long; they simply couldn't wait that long.

The atmosphere grew increasingly strange. Rocks sat silently on the rock, and the other crew members dared not utter a sound, for fear of angering Rocks again.

After a long while, the Golden Lion, leading a little mermaid in one hand, flew towards Rocks.

"Captain Rocks, this is the mermaid named Shirley we've found." The Golden Lion said, throwing the still-child Shirley to the ground.

Shirley hugged the crystal ball and spun around on the ground several times.

All eyes turned to them, and then their brows furrowed slightly.

"Shiki, did you grab the wrong person? This is just a little kid!" Whitebeard asked in surprise.

Golden Lion shook his head and confirmed, "There's no mistake, this guy is Shirley, whose divination and prophecy accuracy is 100%. I've already inquired about it, so I doubt they would dare to lie to me."

Lockes remained silent, glanced at Shirley, then stood up, picked her up from the ground, and placed her on the rock he had just been writing on.

"You can perform divination and prophecy?"

Shirley nodded her little head, terrified, her bright eyes already moist. If Locke's voice had been any louder, she probably would have burst into tears on the spot.

“I won’t hurt you, but on the condition that you do whatever I tell you to do. If I find out you’ve lied to me, I’ll kill you all. Understand?” Rocks said in a deep voice.
