Chapter 78: Ripples in History! Olvia's Transformation
Holy Land Mary Geoise.
The prophecy brought by that Lord's awakening caused the Five Elders to gather once again in tense discussion.
The long-bearded Elder at the head had a face full of gravity.
"The information brought by Lord Im this time is extraordinary. The light of history has actually rippled. Could someone have obtained a Devil Fruit related to time?"
"Or perhaps something has happened to those who are the light of history themselves?"
This was no joke.
They knew better than anyone the terrifying power of Lord Im. For him to awaken, the World Government had to confirm the situation with 100% certainty!
Otherwise, catastrophe would befall them!
The other Five Elders also wore grave expressions.
"No matter how you look at it, this ripple in the light of history is most likely related to the Rocks Pirates—they've been causing the most trouble in recent years."
"Whether it's Whitebeard or Lotte, the strength they possess is extraordinary."
Unlike pirate crews of past generations,
The Rocks Pirates could almost be called the most powerful pirate crew in history. Even in the records of these eight hundred years, there had never been an existence that could stand shoulder to shoulder with them.
Another Elder, holding a sword, spoke in a deep voice.
"More importantly, that Rocks."
"As a member of the D clan who also knows about God Valley, this ripple in the light of history is almost certainly connected to him."
The few of them exchanged glances.
They nodded almost in unison—
This ripple in the light of history was most likely caused by Rocks.
As long as they could eliminate Rocks, it would remove a massive problem for the World Government.
"Since we've confirmed it's that Rocks,"
"Lord Im has already given permission for the previous operation. Even exposing God Valley's location to him is acceptable."
The long-bearded Elder said gravely.
The other Five Elders' expressions grew even more serious. This was something they absolutely had to accomplish.
If Rocks really obtained God Valley, although they could still deal with it, there was a risk of exposing Lord Im.
To avoid such a situation,
Rocks had to be completely eradicated!
"Since Lord Im has already agreed, let's prepare to begin this operation."
"This is a matter of utmost importance to us as well."
"For now, have our subordinates cooperate more with Marine Headquarters—they'll need to contribute heavily when the time comes."
The Five Elders finalized the plan.
Then they rose from their seats, returned to their respective highest positions, and issued orders one after another.
The massive, machine-like organization that was the World Government
Immediately began to operate.
...
At this moment.
On the West Blue.
Lotte and Olvia had run into a small "problem."
"Hand over your money! This is a robbery!"
"Do that and we might let you live. Otherwise, if something happens, kid, you won't be making it back!"
"That cat in your arms looks valuable too—leave it here!"
Lotte's small boat
Had been blocked by a medium-sized pirate ship in their path.
The pirates on board waved short swords and shouted relentlessly.
Perhaps because Lotte's clothes looked expensive and they were greedy for the valuable watch on his wrist,
They had decided to make this move. After all, the other party looked so young, with two wrapped objects at his waist that couldn't be shown—maybe they could make a quick fortune this time!
Watching the arrogant pirates, Olvia—transformed into a white cat—widened her eyes. She looked at the scene with a mix of panic and excitement.
She wondered how Mr. Lotte would handle this.
She had never worried about safety—since Lotte was by her side, no accident would occur.
"No way… are there really pirates this stupid in the West Blue?"
Lotte was somewhat speechless.
This familiar scene reminded him of when he first arrived at Hachinosu. He never expected to encounter such blind pirates here too.
If they had just thought a little,
They would realize that anyone who could safely sail the seas alone was almost certainly not someone to mess with.
But on that note,
These pirates made perfect teaching material.
Letting Olvia witness the cruelty of this world would help her grow stronger.
"Olvia, I'm going to teach you how to deal with those who intend to harm you."
"What do you think their fate will be?"
Lotte said calmly.
He held the white cat in one hand while gripping the cloth-wrapped short sticks at his waist with the other, looking at the reckless pirates with indifferent eyes.
Olvia's heart trembled.
She could already guess the outcome for them, but she still found it hard to face the idea of easily killing others.
Lotte wasn't in a hurry.
He knew that for a girl who had never been exposed to killing, being able to predict the consequences was already good enough. He would cultivate her slowly.
"On these seas, weakness is the original sin."
"If we didn't have enough strength, you and I would die here today. But now it's different—the ones who will die are them."
"All because of power."
The pirates, seeing Lotte ignore them completely, immediately flew into a rage.
"Brat! How dare you ignore us?!"
"Kill him!"
Just as the pirates were about to act,
They saw the youth suddenly swing the short sticks in his hand. As the cloth strips tore apart,
A silver flash of slash light streaked across the sky.
Swoosh!
The slash instantly pierced through the entire pirate ship. Every pirate in its path was cleaved in two. As the ship completely disintegrated,
Scarlet blood instantly dyed the sea red.
Olvia—in her white cat form—widened her eyes in disbelief at the scene. She couldn't imagine that this was just a casual strike from Mr. Lotte.
So there really were people this strong?!
The few pirates lucky enough to avoid the slash fell into the water, their faces full of terror.
They had clearly realized they had kicked an iron plate.
"Now… how do you want to die?"
Lotte stood calmly at the bow, looking at the pirates with eyes as indifferent as if he were looking at corpses.
"W-wait! Please spare us, sir!"
"We can be your subordinates! We'll do anything from now on!"
The drifting pirates hurriedly begged for mercy.
Lotte raised an eyebrow.
"Olvia, come out."
"The rest of these people are yours to handle. I hope you won't disappoint me."
His calm voice fell.
The silver-haired girl transformed from the white cat immediately appeared, looking somewhat nervously at the pirates. She bit her lip lightly and said firmly.
"I understand."
