Chapter 514: Chapter 514: God Valley Arc — Celestial Dragon Killing Machine

Walking on the land of God Valley, wails were everywhere. Civilians and slaves were wailing, because they were being wantonly trampled and slaughtered by the Celestial Dragons and the Marines. The Celestial Dragons were also wailing; the [Black Emperor] was toying with these ugly creatures in the same way.

Having just slaughtered a family of three with a baby, a Celestial Dragon held his hunting gun with satisfaction, delighted that his "hunting game" score had gone up again, when a gunshot interrupted his sweet dream. In today’s God Valley, gunshots and wails were nothing unusual, but the key was that this shot hit his mount. How was he supposed to efficiently continue participating in the hunting game like this?!!!

"Who did that!!!"

"When killing slaves, don’t you watch where you’re shooting!!!?"

He thought it was some other Celestial Dragon who had accidentally killed his mount, and in fact, it really was a Celestial Dragon.

"Not an accident~"

A voice came from the rooftop nearby. A young, tall figure sat there, holding a black gun still smoking.

"You are my prey~"

Orin was never any kind of savior. You could tell from how he had no interest in overthrowing the World Government and no interest in joining the Revolutionary Army. But not seeing something was one thing.

When a kid knelt in front of him, crying and kowtowing, begging him to save his father and mother, and in the end the kid himself was caught by the pursuing Celestial Dragons and tortured to death, Orin felt inexplicably irritated. With a casual swipe, he smashed that Celestial Dragon into a mist of blood. Orin wasn’t someone who couldn’t stand seeing death.

When he was younger, fighting other pirates at sea, he had killed plenty of enemies. These slaves and civilians, at the root of it, if they were killed, could only blame their own weakness and their lack of courage to resist.

But... but survival of the fittest was survival of the fittest; children and family were different. Killing parents in front of a child, or stomping a baby to pieces in front of the parents—acts like these made him inexplicably think of the people of Wano in his previous life.

"Whether that makes me a bleeding-heart or not, it just pisses me off..."

Orin had always acted as he pleased. In pursuit of absolute freedom, he believed there was nothing in this world that could stop him. And so...

The "Celestial Dragon Hunting Game" began.

"Please, let me go!!!"

"I’ll never kill those slaves again, please!!!"

"You filthy commoner, how dare you!!!"

Whether begging or cursing, in the end it all turned into wailing. Not a single drop of blood stained Orin’s body. No matter who came, it was one shot. There was a smile on his face (close-up shot).

"Crushing bugs... is sometimes a pretty fun sport~"

God Valley MVP!!!

Celestial Dragon kill-streak achievement!!!

Orin slung the black gun over his shoulder and strolled about, harvesting demons as a demon. The Marines who had originally withdrawn back to their warships as the "hunting game" began now received an emergency order: a mysterious man was slaughtering Celestial Dragons!!!

A young Marine soldier also received the order in God Valley at this time. His name was Dragon. He hid behind a rock and watched as a Celestial Dragon raised his gun and aimed at several children—it was Kuma, Ivankov, and Ginny and the others. His heart was torn about whether he should act. After all, that was a Celestial Dragon... He struggled to raise his gun, thinking that if it was a tranquilizer round it should be fine, there wouldn’t be a problem...

"Bang—"

With the gunshot, the gun in Dragon’s hand smoked. The Celestial Dragon who had raised his gun fell, blood pouring out beneath him, dead beyond any doubt. Dragon’s pupils shook violently, cold sweat pouring out.

How could this be!!!

Didn’t I use a tranquilizer round?

I... I killed a Celestial Dragon?!!!

Just as a huge wave surged in Dragon’s heart, a hand landed on his shoulder.

"Soldier, was it you who killed the Celestial Dragon?"

"N... no, it wasn’t me!!!"

The young Marine soldier Dragon panicked and jumped up, thinking he had been discovered by a superior. Only when he turned around did he realize... it was a young man with a black gun on his back, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, as if holding back a laugh.

"What is it!!!"

"Relax~ That Celestial Dragon was killed by me."

Orin looked at Dragon, whose face looked very much like Luffy’s and was still full of youthful immaturity, and couldn’t help but feel a bit of approval. Never mind whether the boy who slays dragons will eventually become an evil dragon; at least in the first generation team led by Dragon, they still dared to resist Celestial Dragons like those who treated people of Wano the same way.

"You are..."

Looking at the person in front of him, even more cold sweat appeared on Dragon’s face. Wasn’t this the guy the officer had just mentioned over the Den Den Mushi!!!

"Don’t look at me like that. If you still stick to your justice, then go do what you can."

Orin smiled. He knew the scheme. If Shanks ended up dead in God Valley or was taken to the Holy Land because of this, then the future version of this world would probably be pretty boring for him.

Dragon clenched his teeth and finally ran off to rendezvous with the other Marines. And after regrouping, he didn’t mention to anyone that he knew which direction Orin was in. Perhaps deep down, he also faintly hoped Orin could kill a few more Celestial Dragons.

Before the Rocks Pirates landed, the panic and chaos caused by Orin alone had already made the Celestial Dragons jittery. The Marines were also on high alert, nervously making preparations. Remembering Orin’s words, Dragon picked up Shanks and Shamrock at this time and headed toward a relatively safer place. Meanwhile, under Saint Saturn’s briefing of the situation, the God’s Knights assembled. Saint Garling, having just killed the mother of his own children and then slaughtered a bunch of slaves and civilians, perhaps feeling that his hand was hot today, as the head of the God’s Knights, wanted to take down Orin, this "traitor among the Celestial Dragons."

"A Celestial Dragon from the future? There’s nothing to worry about too much, is there?"

He looked toward the distance with a cold expression. The Celestial Dragons of the God’s Knights were also dispersing into God Valley to stop Orin. As the God’s Knights, they had the authority to execute rebellious Celestial Dragons.

And what about Orin at this moment? Passing by a warehouse, he saw Shanks’s mother, breathing her last with unwillingness and regret. After she died, he used his ability to bury her beneath the ground. Before dying, blood spilling from her mouth, she was still worrying about her two children. And at this time, Saint Garling also came looking, to take down Orin. What he saw, however, was only a somewhat downcast back.

"You are Orin..."

Before Saint Garling could finish, Orin spoke first.

"You’re the one who personally killed the woman who loved you deeply and had just given you two children, right?"

"Hm?"

Garling was startled, and then he saw a profile slowly turning around. In the dark room, a huge foot suddenly appeared and slammed viciously into his face!!!
