One Piece - Life Choice Ask Me to Kiss Marine Goddes Hina

The Valley of the Gods is the Celestial Dragons' hunting ground, where the strong practice fighting skills and the weak find entertainment. 

Talented young Celestial Dragons gather here for bloody duels against slaves captured from around the world. 

Today's Knights of God are the elite Celestial Dragons who survived the brutal trials of the Valley of the Gods.

No one seriously believes the Celestial Dragons could rule the world for 800 years without strength, right? 

If all Celestial Dragons were like the fools in Mariejois, the Revolutionary Army would be laughing themselves awake at night. 

Hidden Dragon Gorge is where the powerful Celestial Dragons retire, including many former Knights of God.

Hidden Dragon Gorge not only gives them a place to go after retirement, but more importantly, it allows them to teach the growth of young Celestial Dragons in Hidden Dragon Gorge.

This is why the Celestial Dragons have endured for so long. They are spread across different areas, so even if one is destroyed, the others can still survive.

The elite Celestial Dragons are trained in Hidden Dragon Gorge as children, fight in the Valley of the Gods in their youth, and return to Hidden Dragon Gorge in their later years to teach the next generation. 

The useless Celestial Dragons remain in Mariejois to live in luxury and have children, serving as a distraction for rebellious enemies. 

When enemies see the stupid Celestial Dragons in Mariejois, they underestimate them, which is when they meet their downfall.

This trick was used by the beautiful country in the previous life during World War II, and the effect was remarkable. Even in the 21st century, it has been tried repeatedly, and the president was specially selected to be the clown.

These are the two main strategies of the Celestial Dragons.

So far, only the location of the Holy Land Mariejois is known.

Lynch guessed that the secret of Celestial Dragons mentioned by Donquixote Doflamingo was probably the coordinates of Hidden Dragon Gorge.

"Is that the pendant?!" Silver Axe's expression changed dramatically when he saw what Ochoku was holding. 

The pendant held the key to locating Hidden Dragon Gorge, where nearly a third of the Celestial Dragons' wealth, amassed over 800 years, was hidden.

Though Hidden Dragon Gorge is filled with retired Celestial Dragon elites, making it a dangerous place, the rewards are immeasurable. 

Controlling it would grant access to the future of the Celestial Dragons—their children, the next generation of their power. Even the Celestial Dragons themselves wouldn't dare risk losing it.

At that time, he can use this threat to make the World Government obey, and then use the treasures in Hidden Dragon Gorge to recruit troops.

By then, he will be the next Lord of the World!

Thinking of this, Silver Ax's heart skipped a beat.

"Ochoku! Hand that over to me" Silver Ax roared, abandoning the Earth Fruit and charging straight for the pendant. 

Among the pirates, only he, Ochoku, and Rocks knew the secret of the pendant. 

No one else knew about it. If he could killed Ochoku, the treasure would be his alone. 

"Silver Fang: Sky Star Pendant" 

Silver Ax unleashed all his strength for the first time since arriving on the island, aiming to take Ochoku down with a single strike.

His face twisted with effort as he swung the ax, which glowed with a flowing light and grew three times larger, crashing down like a comet. 

"Silver Ax, get out of here!" 

Ochoku drew his broadsword from his back and was not afraid of Silver Ax's attack.

He knew Silver Ax's strength, and it might take them days to determine a winner. 

For now, his plan was to avoid a prolonged fight and find a way to escape. 

After a quick exchange of blows, Ochoku leaped back and ran toward the cave entrance

Kaido and Big Mom looked at each other and smiled. They were not stupid. On the contrary, intelligence and force were both indispensable for them to be able to sit in the position of Four Emperors.

Silver Ax chose to abandon the Earth Fruit to steal the pendant, which meant only one thing: the pendant was far more valuable than the Earth Fruit.

"Uh-huh-huh~ I'll let you have the Linlin Devil Fruit first. I need to see what's happening." 

"Ochoku, let's share the good stuff!" 

Kaido stepped forward, blocking Ochoku's path like a guardian. 

"Kaido, I hope you'll move aside out of respect for our past." 

Ochoku took a deep breath and tried to persuade Kaido, while cursing Silver Ax in his heart.

If it weren't for that useless Silver Ax, none of this would be happening!

"Are you confused? Ochoku, I'm a pirate. Are you really asking me for compassion?" 

Kaido replied with a sarcastic grin. "Compassion? What's that worth?" 

"Hand over your treasure, and I'll spare your life." 

Kaido's large hand gripped Ochoku's arm tightly, and Silver Ax quickly caught up behind him. Ochoku felt a wave of anxiety. 

Right now, escaping seemed nearly impossible, but he knew he couldn't reveal the coordinates of Hidden Dragon Gorge.

"Fight!" 

Ochoku, feeling desperate, engaged in a melee with Kaido and Silver Ax. 

"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!" 

Ochoku's broadsword clashed with Silver Ax's large axe, their weapons moving fluidly as they exchanged blows. The battlefield was filled with the sound of clashing metal, each strike ringing out loudly.

Each blow that hit the ground created a crater over ten meters wide.

In this fierce confrontation, they could collide hundreds of times in just one second! 

Although Ochaku and Silver Axe had fallen below their peak strength, they momentarily tapped into their full power. However, it was uncertain how long they could maintain this intensity.

The fighting style of the two was so intense that it caught Kaido off guard, causing him to instinctively step back in his normal form. 

However, he quickly realized, "If these two old guys are willing to risk their lives, it must be for something valuable!" 

With that thought, Kaido transformed into his half-animal form and charged into the battle with fierce determination.

The battle among the three shook the ground, causing rubble to fall from the cave ceiling. 

No one dared to come within a hundred meters, fearing they would be crushed by the shockwaves. 

The cave was split into two battle zones around the two items.

While the three on Kaido's side were on the verge of being overwhelmed,Whitebeard and Big Mom on the other side were doing much better.

"Kakaka~" 

Whitebeard swung his sword with incredible speed, slicing through the clouds, while the Tremor Fruit allowed him to shatter the air itself. He truly lived up to his title as the strongest man.

Big Mom stood her ground against Whitebeard's fierce attacks, matching him blow for blow. The fierce thunder and lightning worked in tandem with Napoleon, and each clash with Whitebeard sent shockwaves through the ground. 

"This Whitebeard is a bit restrained~"

Lynch observed closely and noticed some clues. While it appeared that the two were evenly matched, he believed that over time, the winner was probably Whitebeard.
