God's Valley and Dimensional Gap's Influence

--- Chapter 425 ---

God Valley was an island in the West Blue unaffiliated with the World Government, where the so-called World Nobles used to hold "Native Hunting Competition" to their heart's content.

The Native Hunting Competition is pretty self-explanatory. These dirty bastards caught and enslaved so many natives in this world before throwing them into God Valley Island.

Then, they hunt them for enjoyment.

During the God Valley Incident 38 years ago, Monkey D. Garp allied with Gol D. Roger and the Roger Pirates to fight the Rocks Pirates and ultimately defeated Rocks D. Xebecs.

Following this monumental battle, the island mysteriously vanished and no longer appears on world maps. No one has mentioned it ever since because it has become taboo.

"God's Valley, huh?" Rossweisse tapped her chin lightly. "I have heard of this place a few times before. To think Valerie was there all this time is mind-boggling."

"They are hiding it so deeply."

"Yuhao-sama, has Valerie told you how long she has been in God's Valley?"

Huo Yuhao shook his head and smiled bitterly, "No. She was too excited to tell me about being trapped in God's Valley, so she didn't tell me much about anything else."

"Even then, I can tell she was suffering..."

"I can't let that poor girl suffer anymore." After saving Liu Mei, Huo Yuhao can't bear seeing the women close to him suffer.

Valerie might not be the closest girl to him, but he's responsible for her safety. He promises to do so when Shishou (Scathach) allows Valerie to participate in this expedition.

Rossweisse smiled faintly, "It's not your fault, Yuhao-sama."

"After tinkering with the spatial array on this island, I noticed why Tiny World diverges so much. The divergence happened because of these outsiders."

"They manipulated the roots of Tiny World, looking for Law Fruit from many branches of the timeline."

"In fact, I'm sure they are letting Phantom into the Tiny World for this exact reason."

"Our divine sense and other searching methods were 'precisely' weakened due to this."

Huo Yuhao nodded, "Your guest is pretty much spot on."

"Still, you forget another factor, that is Imu."

"This guy can cooperate with Neos Artificer, which means he holds some values to them besides the Law Fruit. I don't know how strong Imu is, but we shouldn't look down on him."

"Toki, Makino, and others did, and they suffered heavily from it."

Rossweisse learned the history of Three Great Nobles in Myriad Heaven Realm and knew how miserable Toki, Makino, Mihawk, and their fellow young nobles got tricked.

It was so bad that Toki became a ghost in a time gap.

"Should we contact Toki?"

"Not, let them be. They are busy in Wano right now," Huo Yuhao replied casually. "If we wanted to know more, we could ask Mihawk because he was doing nothing but training in Elwood."

"At the same time, we can also interrogate the Celestial Dragon we caught."

"I'm sure Zephyr has broken that guy's spirit from how much he hates the World Government."

"Hehe, I'm sure he is." Rossweisse giggled in amusement.

"Thank you for helping us, Yuhao-sama." Sabo, Koala, and others from their department approached Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao glanced at them and smiled, "You're my people, and this much is what I can do for you."

Although the reply was short, it touched the hearts of Sabo and others as they felt appreciated. It seemed their new leader wasn't as indifferent as they thought.

Sabo sighed in his heart, 'Perhaps we looked at Yuhao-sama from a higher perspective and ignored his human side.'

Huo Yuhao briefly checked Sabo's condition and commented, "When you were trapped, did you feel anything enter your body?"

"Hmm? I don't feel anything, Yuhao-sama." Sabo replied honestly. "But I do feel a little dazed."

"I can confirm that," said Koala.

"When Sabo and I entered the island, a green light swept us but didn't do anything harmful to us."

"However, I wasn't dazed like Sabo."

Huo Yuhao stared at Sabo calmly before saying, "Sabo, use your Devil Fruit's power."

Sabo and everyone else tilted their heads in confusion.

Even then, under everyone's watchful gazes, Sabo activated his Devil Fruit's power and conjured a bright orange flame from his palm.

However, Sabo soon discovered that his flame was hotter than usual and easier to control.

Sabo was speechless, "What happened? My flame is getting stronger and easier to control!"

Rossweisse analyzed Sabo's power and commented, "The spatial array beneath the island changed the environment here to be concept friendly and rich, making it easier for one to use their concept and even learn it into full-fledged law, though it depends on one's talent."

"In short, staying on this land will cause Devil Fruit Users to have an easier time awakening their latent power." She looked at Sabo, wondering if he was a child of luck to receive such an effect immediately. It hasn't been a whole day since Sabo discovered and came to this island.

"Do you know what other places are rich in concept?" Huo Yuhao gave Rossweisse a funny look.

"Dimensional Gap."

"Dimensional Gap? Well, that's logical." Rossweisse was amazed and then nodded in realization. There is also a 'Dimensional Gap' in Draconic Deus, which not many people can enter and stay.

Great Red is the guardian of Dimensional Gap, who is 'commonly' described as a being with endless and unsurpassable power. Such a being definitely wields the power of concept, if not law.

Rossweisse tried to recall what power Great Red wielded and then bitterly chuckled, "Dream is such an overpowered power."

Yes, the Great Red wields the Law of Dream, making the Draconic Deus's guardian a unique God of Dreams. Great Red represents dreams in the past, present, and future.

So, Great Red is the first and last protection Draconic Deus had against outsiders.

Even then, Rossweisse doesn't know that the 'Dimensional Gap' could have such an effect on the outside world.

"Dimensional Gap?" Sabo and others were confused.

They didn't know about such a concept, so Rossweisse briefly taught them about it.

As they learned more about the outside world, Huo Yuhao snapped them out of their fantasy with a stern expression, "While the Dimensional Gap is a chance for a Spirit Master at your level, I don't recommend you stay on this dangerous island any longer until someone made a barrier or defensive line here."

"Do you understand?"

"Yes, Yuhao-sama! We understand!" Sabo and others lamented in their hearts but believed in Huo Yuhao. Since their leader said this place was dangerous, then it must be.

"Let's go back to Elwood first." Huo Yuhao knew their feelings but didn't say much about it. "There are few things I must do there."

"Rossweisee, are you going to follow me or stay?"

Rossweisse replied with giggles, "Yuhao-sama, you said it yourself. Low-level Spirit Masters can't stay on this island without a barrier or defensive line, so I will stay and make one."

"Don't worry, I will catch up with you soon."

"Making a barrier and a few traps for the Neos Artificers shouldn't take long."

Huo Yuhao made a clone and said, "Then, I will leave a clone."

"..." Rossweisse saw Huo Yuhao's clone appearing and didn't know what to say. She felt Huo Yuhao had become more protective of his women.

After that, Huo Yuhao used Spatial Authority and brought Sabo and others to Elwood, leaving Rossweisse alone with his clone.

"Well, let's get into work, shall we?" Rossweisse rolled her imaginary sleeve and began analyzing the island's structure.
