No kidding, even Rocks would have to offer me a cigarette.

They're attacking and defending against the aliens!

Chapter 24 General-level combat power

"Armed Heavy Punch!!!"

Seeing that Kong Gu seemed a little stunned and hadn't reacted yet, Luo Hou didn't give him any time to dodge.

At this moment, all he wanted was to squeeze the last bit of value out of this admiral, the highest-ranking combatant in the Navy Headquarters.

"you...."

boom! ! ! !

Before Kong Gu could finish speaking, Luo Hou's figure suddenly appeared, his fist, the size of a water vat, slammed directly into Kong Gu's chest!

The fist, gleaming with a deep, dark light, unleashed a terrifying shockwave, imbued with the unparalleled hardness of Armament Haki, sending Kong Gu flying more than 20 meters away with a single punch.

And after this punch, a large number of basic attribute values ​​and slightly unique Haki attribute balls fell from Kong Gu's body once again.

"Come on! I want more power!!!"

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 15346 points of power!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 11321 points of Agility!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed 37546 stamina points!]

.....

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed the Observation Haki attribute! (Top-tier) Current progress: 43.96%!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, host, you have successfully absorbed the Observation Haki attribute! (Top-tier) Current progress: 77.96%!]

After a series of continuous attribute absorption notification sounds, Luo Hou immediately felt the power within his body swell even more.

At this moment, in terms of basic attributes and domineering presence, he is absolutely no weaker than any Marine Admiral of this era.

Even with the special enhancement of the Paramecia-type Power-Power Fruit, Rahu's personal power will become even more terrifying!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he could even directly overpower a powerhouse at the Emperor level!

Cough~

A slightly hoarse, weak cough rang out from the swirling dust!

At this moment, Kong Gu no longer possessed the absolute confidence he had at the beginning.

Luo Hou, whom he had previously regarded as just a young, arrogant, and impetuous brat, had now risen to the same level as him.

As one of the world's top powerhouses!

Kong Gu could clearly sense that Luo Hou's power was increasing at a visible rate every time he clashed with him!

What a terrifying physical gift this is!

Even Rocks D. Xebec, known as the Pirate Emperor, could never have such a monstrous speed of improvement!

even.

That freak Luo Hou actually managed to learn all the combat techniques that he had accumulated over many years of risking his life on the battlefield right there in the middle of the battle!

Such a bizarre talent truly shocked and terrified him beyond words!

If it were just a battle.

If they can achieve such a terrifying improvement, then who in the Navy Headquarters or even the entire World Government will be able to stop Rahu in the future?

If someone like that were to join the Rocks Pirates, wouldn't they be able to easily create another monster like Rocks D. Xebec?

The mere thought of having two powerful figures like Rocks in a pirate crew is enough to make one's breathless.

However, compared to Kong Gu, who was very thoughtful, the vice admirals and pirate henchmen next to him were completely stunned and speechless.

They simply couldn't understand why Rahu, this rookie pirate, had grown from being easily defeated to a level they could only look up to for a lifetime in just a few minutes.

"Did I see that right? That newbie sent Steel Bone Sky flying???"

"This is terrifying! That's the highest level of combat power represented by the Navy Headquarters!"

"I think we need to leave this island now! If even Kong can't stop Rahu, then those three Celestial Dragons are definitely going to die today. And if all three Celestial Dragons die on this island, it's obvious the World Government will wipe it out! Staying here is a sure path to certain death."

After exchanging bewildered glances, a few of the more astute pirate captains decided to leave Devil's Island, a place on the verge of annihilation.

However, there were still some crazy individuals who chose to stay put, wanting to witness firsthand the appalling spectacle of the world's nobles being slaughtered like fish on a chopping block.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that they could use a camera Den Den Mushi to save and back up the footage of the Celestial Dragons being killed in public, and then sell it, would be enough to ensure they would live a life of ease!

In this oppressive era, no one would refuse to spend 10,000 Berries to see the real world, the beautiful sight of nobles being beheaded!

This video tape can even be passed down through generations, endlessly!

"What a terrifying young man!"

"I can feel your power; it has more than tripled in just three minutes!"

"Are you intentionally concealing your strength, or are you truly able to rapidly improve your physique in battle?"

Gently wiping away the trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, Kong Gu uttered an absurd thought that he himself did not want to believe.

Unless this young man was truly hiding his strength from the beginning, his domineering aura would not be mistaken.

This young man directly raised his power to the same level as him during the battle, and now he has even reached a level that is much stronger than him!

If this Rahu wasn't hiding his strength at all, and was indeed rapidly increasing his physical strength during the battle with him...

Such extremely dangerous elements are an absolutely significant factor contributing to the cholera epidemic in the currently relatively stable world situation!

Furthermore, judging from the other party's initial remarks, such a person is absolutely filled with the most extreme hatred towards the world government.

In other words, Rahu is a more dangerous man than Rocks D. Giebeck!

"Hehehehehehe~"

"You realized it so quickly?"

"Unfortunately, it's a bit too late. You no longer have the power to stop me from killing those pigs."

Luo Hou did not choose to hide anything from Kong Gu's doubts.

Given his current state, anyone with a modicum of common sense could easily discern the truth.

This rapidly improving state is completely transparent to the senses of Observation Haki.

After hearing Rahu's answer...

Kong Gu's already solemn expression became even more rigid.

"Is this really how it is? It seems I am destined to become a remnant of the old era."

Although he had already clearly sensed the strangeness of Luo Hou, Kong Gu's heart still skipped a beat after hearing the person's affirmative answer.

Such crazy pirates are just too dangerous!

It's now a situation that's completely beyond his control as an admiral at the Navy Headquarters!

This matter must be reported to the government and decided by the five elders, who hold the highest power in the world!

.....

Chapter 25 Flowing Domineering Aura

"Hehehehe~ Remnants of the old era? You're not there yet!"

"I'm here today to do only three things."

"The first thing is to kill Celestial Dragons, the second thing is also to kill Celestial Dragons, and the third thing is still to fucking kill Celestial Dragons!!!"

Luo Hou looked at Steel Bone Sky, who had realized something was wrong and was no longer willing to fight him, and laughed.

Overall, Admiral Kongo is still within the ranks of the righteous.

At least, the other party didn't initially intend to kill him, a villain who was about to threaten the Celestial Dragons, with a single punch.

Luo Hou didn't actually have much of an opinion about the navy as a group.

As long as these guys who are always shouting about justice don't stand against him, that's fine.

If these marines abandon true justice and instead obey the World Government's orders to interfere with his actions.

Therefore, Rahu had no choice but to take drastic measures and completely annihilate these hypocritical forces of justice.

"Hahahaha! As an admiral of the Marine Headquarters, I naturally have my own duties to fulfill."

"Since you want to kill the Celestial Dragons, then you'll have to get past me first!"

"After all, I really want to see just how strong you, this madman, will become!!!"

Faced with Rahu's undisguised and obvious words that he wanted to kill the Celestial Dragons, Kong Gu chose not to say anything more.

As a Marine Admiral, if he simply stood by and let Rahu kill the Celestial Dragons, he would lose his position.

Even he felt uncomfortable with the Celestial Dragons, such a perverted race.

But the renowned theorist, philosopher, and outstanding Marine Monkey D. Karp once said, "An actor's most superb acting is when he encounters something he doesn't want to do."

Therefore, even though Kong Gu knew he couldn't stop Rahu today, he still had to return with a body full of wounds to report back to the World Government.

Surely he couldn't have been killed just because he suffered some minor injuries?

In that case, even if he talked himself hoarse, the Five Elders would never believe him.

"Since you've said it so sincerely, then I'll grant your wish!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Luo Hou's figure vanished from the spot like a fleeting shooting star.

At this moment, his speed has reached the top level in the world.

Furthermore, with the added power from the super-popular Power Fruit, Rahu's speed will also be increased to a certain extent.

In summary, thanks to the effects of the Devil Fruit, Rahu's basic attributes have completely surpassed those of Kong!

Uh-huh! ! ! !
