The Valley of the Gods, a place shrouded in secrecy.
This island couldn't be found on any map, and aside from the Celestial Dragons and the world's highest authorities, almost no one knew of its existence.
If Mary Geoise was the stronghold where the Celestial Dragons resided, then the Valley of the Gods was their true sacred sanctuary.
Rocks planned to besiege the Valley of the Gods two months later, partly to eliminate the Celestial Dragons, but more importantly, to covet an ancient weapon hidden within the valley.
In the world of one pice, there were three ancient weapons.
Pluton a super battleship designed and built by the shipwrights of Water 7, capable of destroying an entire island with a single shot.
Poseidon who would beco the rmaid Princess forty years later, had not yet been born during Rocks' era. She could summon powerful Sea Kings.
Uranus, the most mysterious of the three ancient weapons. Its exact nature remained unknown, but it was highly likely to be connected to the skies.
Perhaps it was a weapon capable of global precision strikes from the air.
With Pluton and Poseidon yet to erge, if Rocks could obtain Uranus from the Valley of the Gods, his power would ascend to new heights, making it even easier for him to reach the pinnacle of the world.
After resting on the ship for a day, Bob set off with Shiki toward their destination: Mary Geoise.
...
Three days later, the two arrived at the base of the Red Line.
Before them stood a towering, seemingly endless wall that reached into the clouds.
The wall was entirely red, colossal and awe-inspiring.
"We've finally arrived. Up there is our target for this mission—the sacred land of Mary Geoise!" Shiki stood at the bow of the ship, gazing at the magnificent wall that stretched beyond sight.
"Damn! This wall is truly massive!" Bob, who had only seen Mary Geoise in the original story, couldn't help but exclaim.
Indeed, there was a vast difference between pictures and reality. Seeing the Red Line wall in images only gave a sense of its size, but witnessing it in person allowed one to truly grasp its grandeur.
"So, do we go up directly or sneak in?" Shiki, who hadn't even lit his cigar this ti, asked.
Though he often held a grudge against Bob and wanted to see him humiliated, deep down, he acknowledged Bob strength, so he instinctively sought his opinion.
"No! Mary Geoise is the residence of the Celestial Dragons. It's undoubtedly filled with countless powerful figures. If we barge in recklessly, we'll be discovered imdiately!" Bob steered the ship to a hidden corner and spoke.
Mary Geoise was not only the ho of the Celestial Dragons but also the stronghold of the World Governnt.
The World Governnt, an institution that stood above the Marines, had ruled the world for eight hundred years.
Rocks' goal was to overthrow the governnt's rule and beco the world's supre ruler.
Even he didn't believe he could confront the World Governnt head-on with absolute certainty, which was why he was so desperate to obtain Uranus.
"Got it. Let's do it quietly," Shiki whispered.
"Right, we'll go up at night. The cover of darkness will make it much easier!" Bob glanced at Shiki and raised an eyebrow. In his heart, he thought:
'You're the man who later single-handedly wreaked havoc in marineford for three days and nights, and now you've need to learned to lay low.'
But it was understandable, after all, the goals of the two occasions were different.
...
Ti flew by, and night fell.
Dark clouds hung high in the sky, making it impossible to see even an outstretched hand.
Bob and Shiki knew it was ti to ascend to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
"As night falls, it's our ti to make an appearance!"
Shiki fingers twitched slightly, and a chunk of earth beneath his feet was lifted by so unseen force, hovering in the air.
Bob stepped onto it, and they began to soar toward the heights of the Red Line.
As they ascended, Bob could see that even the clouds were only halfway up the Red Line.
This was enough to prove just how terrifyingly high the Red Line was! And how incredibly useful Shiki Float-Float Fruit was!
After flying for a while, Shiki finally maneuvered the chunk of earth to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
Under the silver glow of the moonlight, Bob could see several exquisitely decorated, grand, and luxurious buildings before them.
They looked like the prince castles from the fairy tales of his past life—no! They were even more refined than that.
Truly a place fit for the Celestial Dragons. Looking around, aside from opulence, no other adjective could describe it more aptly.
However, Bob knew that beneath this magnificent exterior lay the sins of the Celestial Dragons.
"Should we co up with so kind of plan?" Shiki asked, gazing at the incredibly beautiful castle.
"Hmm! We definitely need a plan," Bob said slowly.
"In Mary Geoise, there are many slaves of the Celestial Dragons, kept here for their amusent."
"If we release them, it's sure to cause quite a stir, which would divert people's attention!"
"And we can take advantage of the chaos to act!"
Hearing this, Shiki nodded.
"That's a good idea!"
Mary Geoise was filled with powerful individuals. The slightest disturbance here would lead to being surrounded.
If the slaves were released, most of the manpower would be diverted to recapturing them.
During that ti, Bob and Shiki would have enough ti to search for the Eternal Pose.
"But how do we know where the slaves are kept?" Shiki suddenly thought of this crucial question and couldn't help but ask.
"Damn it! There are so many Celestial Dragons here. Just grab one and ask!" Bob shook his head.
"I was just praising your intelligence, and now you're being dumb again."
...
In an extrely luxurious room, an oily, fat Celestial Dragon was lounging on a chair.
In his right hand, he held a whip, and in his left, an ice cream.
His plump lips occasionally moved toward his left hand to lick the lting treat.
Beside him stood three female slaves with collars around their necks, carefully massaging his body.
"You lowly scum, I'll beat you to death!"
One of the slaves, under the tense and oppressive atmosphere, applied a bit too much force.
The Celestial Dragon frowned, and insults spilled from his mouth as he lashed out with the whip, delivering a beating.
The sound of whipping, accompanied by pleas for rcy, echoed from within the luxurious room.
The Celestial Dragon lashed the whip repeatedly on the slave, venting his fury.
The two slaves beside him remained silent, their faces blank, showing no trace of emotion.
Suddenly, the Celestial Dragon arm froze mid-air. No matter how much force he exerted, he couldn't bring it down.
An arm had firmly clamped onto his wrist.
