If there were an outsider, they would be utterly shocked by the words of Saint Nocksa, and indeed, the entire world would be terrified.
Rocks, the most dangerous existence of the previous era, was still alive.
Rocks' ambition was also to overthrow the rule of the Celestial Dragons.
However, Rocks also wanted to become the supreme ruler of the second Celestial Dragons, ruling the entire sea, the entire world.
No one would doubt that Rocks possessed the strength for this at the time.
This was, of course, provided that Roger, Sengoku, and Garp had not joined forces to ambush Rocks.
"I don't know what you're talking about?"
"I am I, the great Buggy, the Thousand-Link Way!"
After his gaze flickered, Buggy put on a ridiculously exaggerated and comical expression, proudly stating, "You'd better not force me. Even if Shanks is your son, my friend, I will still kill you."
"Most importantly, I am with the Xuanwu Navy."
"Our Marshal's goal is to overthrow your Celestial Dragon rule."
"Believe it or not, soon I will lead a massive fleet to destroy you."
Saint Nocksa gazed at Buggy, his expression unwavering at the latter's words.
Saint Nocksa was absolutely confident that Buggy could do nothing to him.
However, he also had no intention of dealing with Buggy.
"I didn't pull you out of that place to listen to you boast."
"If you wish to continue conversing with me in such an ostentatious manner, I will not hesitate to keep you trapped in this world forever."
"Rocks!"
Buggy's gaze flickered again.
His demeanor seemed to change as well.
"You bastard, I am the great Buggy!"
"Rocks, what do you want?"
"I want to destroy Mary Geoise."
Buggy's voice boomed, enraged by Saint Nocksa's tone.
Buggy now wanted nothing more than to destroy Mary Geoise.
Buggy held no affection for the Celestial Dragons.
"Shut up, you clown."
"Don't embarrass yourself here."
"Your tricks are a joke in front of this person."
The personality of Rocks suppressed Buggy, and he spoke in a low, deep voice.
For a moment, Buggy stopped fighting for control of the body.
Rocks, now in control, looked at Saint Nocksa with dark, profound eyes.
"Those who threaten me are generally dead," Rocks stated discontentedly, fixing his gaze on Saint Nocksa.
Saint Nocksa adjusted his glasses and chuckled, "That's not necessarily true. At least Garp and Sengoku are still alive."
"However, Roger is dead."
"Furthermore, even if you die, I will still live."
Saint Nocksa knew very well that Rocks was a dangerous man.
Moreover, Nocksa now controlled Buggy's body and possessed the tremendously potential and destructive Chop-Chop Fruit.
Throughout history, the one who developed the Chop-Chop Fruit to its most perfect state was a powerful individual under Joy Boy eight hundred years ago.
Because of him, this world was also torn apart.
The God's War.
The Celestial Dragons' treasury was also damaged.
Some of the collected Devil Fruits were destroyed in the great explosion, or seemed to have fallen into the sea.
Among these fruits was the Chop-Chop Fruit.
Fruits secretly collected were never simple.
"Are you that confident?"
Rocks sneered.
Simultaneously, everything around them began to split.
And the fragmentation became even finer.
It was even moving towards Nocksa.
However, just as it was about to approach, an old man in black suddenly appeared beside Saint Nocksa.
Without any apparent action from him, the power of the Chop-Chop Fruit was blocked by an immense force, preventing it from advancing further.
Upon witnessing this, Rocks' brow furrowed immediately.
The power of this old man was formidable.
"As expected of the most low-key family among the Celestial Dragons. This old man's strength would make him a dominant figure in the world," Rocks retracted his probing power and looked at Saint Nocksa, smiling.
Saint Nocksa calmly stated, "A pointless probe."
"I didn't bring you out to waste time here."
"Unless you want to wander in that place again."
"However, you seem to be enjoying yourself."
Hearing this, Rocks replied with a hint of disgust, "If it weren't for you, I was living quite happily there."
"Now, you should tell me your objective."
"I don't want to waste time here."
Saint Nocksa clapped his hands and smiled, "I want you to return to the Xuanwu Navy and do something for me."
"Once the task is completed, you'll be free as a bird, and no one will bother you."
Upon hearing this, Rocks frowned, looking somewhat perplexed.
"What specifically do you want me to do?" Rocks inquired curiously.
"Assassinate Bennidict," Saint Nocksa stated calmly.
Rocks sneered at this, "Are you sure you're not joking?"
"Although I haven't met that guy, I've already heard about his strength."
Rocks had seen Bennidict's potential and strength from Buggy's memories.
Combined with the information he had gathered about the world and his understanding of Devil Fruits and artificial Devil Fruit users during this time,
Rocks knew instantly that Bennidict was terrifying. Even in his own prime, he wouldn't be a match for him.
Perhaps, uniting all his crew members might offer a chance.
"I believe in your potential."
"You possess a very dangerous Devil Fruit."
Saint Nocksa chuckled, "I believe you will make good use of it."
Rocks remained silent for a moment, then he smiled.
"What's the benefit? I want tangible benefits," Rocks said, staring intently at Saint Nocksa.
"Give him that thing," Saint Nocksa replied with a smile.
The old man in black took out a box from his embrace and tossed it to Rocks.
Rocks caught it, glanced at the old man, and then opened it.
Inside was a vial of serum.
"What is it?" Rocks had a suspicion, but still asked.
Saint Nocksa did not hide anything and said, "A gene serum. It's the gene serum we all inject."
Rocks simply nodded, did not drink it, took the serum, and turned to leave.
This time, after Rocks left, he did not return to that room.
He had truly departed.
Rocks flew into the air, looking at Mary Geoise from afar with a somber expression.
"Oh!"
"Is it resolved just like that?"
"I thought you would engage in a fierce battle?"
"However, killing him won't be that easy."
"But it's definitely worth a try."
"Hahaha!"
Rocks released his suppression of Buggy.
Buggy had witnessed their entire conversation.
