Chapter 8: God-Tier Observation Haki - Hearing the Voice of All Things
"Kat... was... was one-shotted!!"
Seeing their colleague's dead body, the remaining three CP0 members' minds were buzzing.
That man just now was the strongest among the four of them, possessing strength at least at the Vice Admiral level!
To be one-shotted just like that?
In truth, after Roger's "guidance," Rono now possessed the same strength as Roger. A full-power blow coated with Advanced Armament Haki couldn't be blocked without strength at the Seven Warlords of the Sea level.
A Vice Admiral... unless they were at the level of Garp or Tsuru, other Vice Admirals, even the elite Vice Admirals of Marine Headquarters, were still a level below the Seven Warlords.
The weakest East Blue... why would there be such a strong guy here?
Something was wrong, extremely wrong!
Moreover, judging by the other party's momentum, he was clearly targeting the Celestial Dragons!
To have the strength to one-shot a Vice Admiral at such a young age, and to be specifically targeting Celestial Dragons—this information must be reported to Mary Geoise!
"And you? Do you want to end up like him? Or will you tell me where the Celestial Dragon is now?"
Rono said word by word, his tone full of menace.
"Heh, inferior being! Don't even think about it!"
Although the three CP0 members were afraid, it was impossible for them to expose the Celestial Dragon's whereabouts.
These CP0 agents were orphans since childhood, selected by the World Government and brainwashed daily. They were utterly devoted to the Celestial Dragons.
Even if a Celestial Dragon ordered them to kill themselves, these people would immediately commit suicide on the spot. They would never betray the Celestial Dragons.
In a way, such dogs could be called "loyal dogs."
"Then go die!"
Rono snorted coldly and launched his attack on the CP0 members.
"Split up! Don't let him catch us all!"
"Geppo!"
These three were very self-aware of their own strength. They were only at the level of a Rear Admiral or Vice Admiral-candidate.
The only reason they could act so tyrannically in front of the Marines was because of their CP0 status.
If they really had to fight a monster like Rono, who could one-shot a Vice Admiral, they would be wiped out in just a few minutes!
"Trying to run?"
Rono raised an eyebrow. He used his Observation Haki to see through one of the CP0's escape routes and blocked his path.
"Shigan: Dan!"
That CP0 member was no lamb to the slaughter, launching an attack the moment Rono closed in.
"Argh!!" The CP0 member targeted by Rono suddenly let out an inhuman scream!
His Shigan hit Rono's arm, which was covered in Armament Haki. With just a slight exertion of force from Rono, the CP0's fingers were abruptly snapped!
The fingers are connected to the heart—that kind of excruciating pain was no joke.
"Die!"
Rono's fist pierced his chest, and this CP0 member died on the spot!
However, the other two CP0 members used this opportunity to widen the distance.
"Damn it, I knew I was late! Only two left?"
"Watch out!"
At the same time, Roger finally arrived, bringing his sword down on one of the fleeing CP0 members.
That CP0 agent had no idea Rono had an accomplice and instantly became a departed soul under Roger's blade.
"He has an accomplice!"
The last surviving CP0 member immediately fled for his life, truly scrambling in panic.
"Heh, Geppo!"
Rono wouldn't let anyone go. Since there was no Celestial Dragon this time, he could only kill the Celestial Dragons' dogs to vent his anger.
He had just picked up Geppo from the system. Besides Geppo, Rono had also picked up Shigan and Tekkai, two of the Rokushiki.
"Rono, I'll help you!"
Roger also helped Rono pursue the last CP0 member.
"Don't kill him. Just capture him."
Rono said to Roger. Rono suddenly felt that he shouldn't kill this person.
Since this person was a CP0 member, he could definitely contact the Celestial Dragons. If he was killed, the lead would be lost.
"Got it. I understand."
Roger nodded. The two of them, one from the left and one from the right, quickly captured the sole surviving CP0 agent.
"Give up, inferior beings! I will never tell you the Celestial Dragons' whereabouts!"
The captured CP0 member knew he couldn't escape death and spoke resolutely, not forgetting to spit at the two of them.
Rono wasn't surprised by the CP0's reaction. These people's minds had long been warped.
Ignoring him, Rono began to search the CP0's body.
Soon, Rono found what he was looking for—a special Den Den Mushi.
Judging by the symbol on the Den Den Mushi, it was a dedicated one, likely used for communication between CP0 members.
He should be able to use this Den Den Mushi to contact the CP0 escorting the Celestial Dragon.
However, Rono found that he couldn't activate this Den Den Mushi.
"Hahaha! That's our special Den Den Mushi. It can't be activated without a special codeword!"
The CP0 member laughed smugly.
As a spy organization, this small counter-intelligence measure was a piece of cake.
"Rono, do you have some kind of hatred for the Celestial Dragons or CP0?"
Just then, Roger, who was standing to the side, suddenly looked at Rono and asked.
After all, Roger had sensed Rono's rage while he was on his way over.
The moment Celestial Dragons were mentioned, Rono's emotions would explode, as if he became a different person.
Hearing this, Rono did not answer.
Because he didn't want to answer. This was the deepest pain and secret in his heart. Rono didn't want to mention it to anyone.
"Alright, it's fine. I'll help you."
Although Rono didn't answer, Roger didn't mind. How could the perceptive Roger not notice the change in Rono's emotions?
This guy's Observation Haki could hear the Voice of All Things.
Although he couldn't directly listen to people's thoughts, his intuition was dozens of times more accurate than an ordinary person's!
Roger strongly felt that there was definitely a deep history between Rono and the Celestial Dragons!
Although they hadn't become partners, Roger already considered Rono a friend in his heart. When a friend was in need, it was time for him to show his skills.
Immediately after, Roger bent down close to the CP0 member, placing his ear next to him, as if listening.
"This is?"
Seeing Roger's action, Rono was stunned.
This... This seems to be Roger's special Observation Haki—the Voice of All Things!
[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for successfully picking up God-level Observation Haki—The Voice of All Things!]
The moment Roger used his Haki, a pleasant sound came from the system.
I picked it up! The Voice of All Things!
This was a God-level Observation Haki ability!
Just like Katakuri's ability to see the future and Byrnndi World's (Red Count) ability to read minds, it belonged to a special category of Observation Haki!
The ability to converse with all things was extremely rare.
It could even be said that the Voice of All Things was much more advanced than seeing the future or reading minds.
After all, this was an ability only main characters were worthy of possessing. Luffy and Roger both had this ability!
Of course, more importantly, perhaps he could glean information about the Celestial Dragon from this CP0 member and finally avenge his parents!
