Chapter 247: God Valley
"Ahhh... That hits the spot. Good afternoon gentlemen, excuse me for my untimely drinking. I just couldn't refuse my unconscious mind to not do it." The cat said in a British accent.
Alexander felt like he had seen the cat somewhere. Alice in Wonderland movie maybe. It was a Cheshire cat.
"Hats, I am busy. Go away." The shogun tried to shoo it away.
But the cat seemed to ignore him, "Oh, you mortals can't order me around. But this man here..."
The cat flew to Alexander and started smelling him, "Ah, you smell like heavens. Hmmm... And also the old man. Are you God-son?"
Alexander was truly surprised, "Yes, how do you know that?"
"Because I am the ruler of chaos. By chaos, I did not mean the space but real chaos. The old man said that the false god is after me so he sent me here, to you. But I ended up with this man."
~Ah, another nutjob.~ Alexander thought.
"Now, take me with you, God-son." It came to his shoulders and sat down.
"What's your name?" Alexander asked."I am called Hats. Because I love hats. Do you have any hats?" He said.
"I will deal with you later. Just sit quietly on my shoulder now. Okay?" Alexander instructed him.
"I simply don't have anything else to do so of course I will rest on your shoulder. You are allowed to do as you please." Hats spoke in an authoritative tone and closed his eyes.
"So, Shogun Kozuki. Thank you for helping me read that. Take this, you can call me anytime you need any help." He handed him a two-way mirror as well.
Kozaki Sukiyaki looked at it with interest, "This thing is pretty convenient."
"Haha... Yes, It is. Okay, I will be on my way now. Take care, Shogun." He said his goodbye and left the castle.
He found his family roaming the streets and buying whatever they liked.
Jenny was the first who noticed him. But then she saw the cat. "FLUFFY KITTY..."
She quickly grabbed Hats and held him in a tight hug. Hats didn't even open his eyes the whole time like he was in a deep sleep. She rubbed her face on his soft fur with a big smile.
"So, how was this trip, Olivia?" Alexander asked.
"Beautiful. This place is so beautiful and cheerful, Alex," she commented.
"Yes, Glanpa. I also made 5 paintings." Amy chimed in.
"Yes, the food is very good here," Rina added, with a dumpling stick in her hand. Gali nodded at that remark. She also had her mouth full of dumplings and dumplings sticks in both her hands.
"Let's go. Our work is done here."
Everyone returned to Phixheim, leaving behind only Dobby and Alexander. "So, was it successful?"
"Yes, Dobby. It was more than successful. If we are lucky, we might just find that hidden island at the end of the Grand Line. But still, we should keep on looking for other Poneglyphs."
They returned to their ship and...
*Peruperuperuperuperu...*
"Yes, Alexander here..."
"Admiral, where are you right now?" Kong hastily asked.
"Nearby Wano. Why?"
"Good, very good. I need you to quickly go to God Valley. Many World Nobles are gathered there but somehow Rocks D. Xebec found out. He has appeared there to assassinate them.
"I order you to use any force necessary to stop him, kill him if possible. Garp is already fighting him there. No harm should come to the World Nobles," Kong ordered.
Alexander hung up and looked at Bald Chad, "To God Valley. We're in no hurry so go slow."
...
God Valley was a place where the World nobles gathered every year. Some kind of natural phenomenon was supposed to take place there. Although Alexander felt like investigating it more as to why Celestial Nobles were so into it and why it was named God Valley.
Alexander took 5 days instead of 3 to reach the place. It was a small valley within a mountainous island. When he got there, most of the island was a mess. It seemed the fight was already near the end.
He deboarded the ship and went deeper into the Valley. He heard a loud voice speaking there.
"Garp, Roger. You both have D in your names. You two don't understand the meaning of it. They are the real enemy of the world. I was foolish enough to think that I could rule the world by just being a pirate. This game is much bigger than you can imagine. Follow the stones, you will get the answer..." Rocks D. Xebec said his last words before throwing up a mouthful of blood and taking his last breath.
~Following the Stones, ha? Who knew those Poneglyphs would be so important to so many people.~ Alexander thought.
All the World Nobles that were hiding in nearby caves came out and saw their attacker dead. Then they noticed Alexander and quickly ran behind him, seemingly thinking that he'd protect them from any danger.
"Admiral Universe, Arrest that man, he is a pirate. He can't leave this place alive, I order you." Saint Rosward haughtily demanded while pointing at Roger.
Garp and Roger were too tired and weak so they hadn't noticed Alexander. But now they did due to all the voices.
"Garp, what are you doing here? Did you leave Dragon-chan alone?" Alexander inquired.
"Old man, when did you come? Wait, why are you here?" Garp confusedly asked.
"Ah, I am bounded by duty. Kong asked me to come and protect these weaklings and kill Xebec. Too bad you saved them before me." Alexander sadly replied.
~Does the word 'saving' has a different meaning in his dictionary?~ Garp internally thought.
"Xebec is dead. Roger here helped me do that. I met him here by chance." Garp pointed.
Roger looked at Alexander and smiled, "Hello, old man. Thanks for those Log poses."
"Hahaha, boy, you really came to the New World. Well, I am proud I guess. But I told you not to become a pirate." Alexander remarked.
"I didn't want to. Sadly, the government puts adventurers in the same category as pirates." Roger argued.
~Yeah, why wouldn't they? The World Government hates freedom of speech. Recognizing Adventurer as a profession is like stabbing oneself for them.~ Alexander thought.
"Admiral Universe, I am a Celestial Dragon. I order you to arrest that man right now." Saint Rosward again demanded.
Alexander turned back. "I won't, what are you gonna do about it? Fight me? Kill me? Your five elders have been looking for a way to kill me for years. Yet here I am. You know what, even if I slap you they won't be able to do anything."
*SLAP*
A tight slap resounded around the whole God Valley. If it didn't have anything to do with a God to be called God valley, it did now.
Saint Rosward fell down on the ground, a few of his teeth fell out and he started shivering. "Now, all of you pests. If you don't want to get slapped then release all your slaves."
All the World Nobles were scared at the moment and rushed to take off the slave collars. "Good, now turn around and silently board my ship. I don't want any sound coming from you. If I do then the reward will be a slap."
All the World Nobles made neat and clean lines and walked to his ship. They were all given different rooms to stay in. Today was a reality check for them. They learned they couldn't order everyone around.
Meanwhile, Garp and Roger had their eyes falling out of their sockets looking at the scene. It wasn't just them, Roger's crew was also standing some distance away and had the same reaction.
Then finally Garp broke the silence with his loud laughter.
"BWAHAHAHAHA..."
