Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

She was just too careless and cautious; instead of going all out when facing him, she chose to make a tentative move.

This is actually perfectly understandable.

But if you're going to test him, at least consider how to deal with his attack, right?

There was no result!

That Rocks isn't going to mess around with you; if you don't go all out, he will.

They forced the opponent to reveal a weakness, and then... that was it...

Swordsmen focus on the way of the sword, and their physical strength is far inferior to that of those who regularly train their bodies.

Their ability to withstand blows is naturally relatively poor; most swordsmen have high attack but low defense.

How could the opponent possibly withstand Rocks's near-all-out attack?

If the opponent doesn't lose, who will?

"No matter who you meet in your next life, it's best not to underestimate them or be careless. Be even more careful and cautious when testing them..."

Rocks raised his sword, slashing through the air to end his opponent's life, and then paid no further attention.

Then he walked up to the Seven Star Sword again, bent down, and scooped it up in his hand...

……

"..."

With Rocks's action, everyone in the arena held their breath for a moment.

The previously noisy sounds suddenly stopped, as if they dared not disturb Lox's actions.

He also stared intently at Rocks, who was holding the Seven Star Sword, without looking away.

Many people began to speculate.

Could a powerful figure like the Black-Haired Swordsman subdue this demonic sword known as the "Seven Star Sword"?

If not...

The terrifying power of this demonic sword might exceed everyone's imagination, and the consequences could be extremely severe...

The Seven Star Sword can make people lose their minds, but it can also enhance the user's strength.

If the black-haired swordsman loses himself because he cannot subdue the Seven Star Sword, given his strength... this place, this island, will probably become a living hell.

This is why everyone held their breath and dared not look away.

If there's even the slightest sign of trouble, they'll leave immediately, leave this place of trouble...

……

"Oh? A mental impact similar to Conqueror's Haki? Aura... no, it's negative emotions..."

As soon as he acquired the Seven Star Sword, Rocks felt a strange "power" emanating from it.

It impacted his soul and consciousness like Conqueror's Haki...

Tyranny, madness, bloodshed... and other "negative emotions" flooded into Lox's brain.

They wanted to "corrupt" Lox's consciousness.

He completely lost himself, turning into a madman who only knew how to kill...

"I see. This kind of impact on consciousness is indeed difficult for ordinary people to resist."

Lox nodded slightly: "It takes a strong enough will to withstand it without being affected, and this mental shock is prolonged..."

There are different levels of Conqueror's Haki; powerful Conqueror's Haki can even render a Vice Admiral ineffective.

The "negative emotions" from the Seven Star Sword that impacted the soul and consciousness, while not quite to that extent, were by no means weak.

Rocks' self-perception.

In some respects, the Seven Star Sword's "negative emotion" is not necessarily inferior to the impact of his demonic Conqueror's Haki.

And it wasn't just one or two impacts.

Rather, as long as you hold the Seven Star Sword and haven't subdued it, this "negative emotion" will not stop.

It will subtly cause people to lose their rationality, become bloodthirsty, impulsive, tyrannical, and unpredictable, and eventually become "puppets" "controlled" by the Seven Star Sword!

"It is a knife with a temper, but at this level, it can't affect me at all."

Lox grinned, his eyes revealing a domineering and disdainful look: "You'd better behave yourself, you can only submit to me!"

'boom!'

Rocks unleashed his powerful, demonic Conqueror's Haki once more.

It was released without suppression or restraint.

At this moment, Lox seemed to be the center of the world, and also like a king who held absolute power.

Everything will submit to him!

'Buzzing...'

An immense wind arose, spreading outwards from Rocks' body, stirring up the surrounding air and raising clouds of sand...

'Crackling crackling!'

As if sensing the pressure, the Seven Star Sword also began to resist.

An eerie and violent aura emanated from the Seven Star Sword.

It resists and clashes with Rocks' Conqueror's Haki.

It was as if the clash between the Conqueror's Haki resulted in the appearance of purple-black lightning.

It danced erratically between the Seven Star Sword and Rocks' right hand...

'Bang bang bang...'

Some of the weaker individuals nearby, swept by Conqueror's Haki, rolled their eyes and fell unconscious, collapsing to the ground one after another...

Only those with decent strength could withstand it, and even they showed surprise at this moment.

"Conqueror's Haki... Are you planning to use Conqueror's Haki to subdue the cursed sword?"

"The black-haired swordsman is actually a user of Conqueror's Haki, and he can use it freely..."

"As expected of a strongman who can rival a former general!"

Do you think the black-haired swordsman can succeed?

Using Conqueror's Haki to subdue the demon sword was indeed unexpected.

But this should be effective?

The demonic sword will only submit to the strong!

Conqueror's Haki is a talent, and all those who possess it will become renowned powerhouses in the future, barring any unforeseen circumstances!

Will the black-haired swordsman succeed?

Everyone's attention was focused on Rocks and the Seven Star Sword in the arena...

Can it be successful?

Rocks tells you, yes!

'boom!'

Rocks unleashed an even more powerful burst of Conqueror's Haki, and to save time, he directly channeled the energy within his body to enhance himself.

This overwhelming aura of Conqueror's Haki was suppressing the evil aura of the Seven Star Sword, attempting to subdue it.

'Buzzing...'

The Seven Star Sword emitted a buzzing sound, as if it was trembling because it could not withstand the pressure from Locke.

Yet, a strange emotion also emanated from it.

It sounded like cheers and jubilation.

Devil Fruits choose their masters, and so do swords.

Especially the Demon Blade.

Only those who are recognized by the demon swords and can bear their spirituality and personality are qualified to become their masters.

The Seven Star Sword is an evil demonic blade, but even demonic blades choose their masters and select a suitable one.

Under the will and spirit of Rocks, the Seven Star Sword could neither resist nor restrain him.

Its spiritual personality could not affect Lox in the slightest.

If the Seven Star Sword could speak, it would definitely want to say something like, "Where did this monster come from?"

Not only is its consciousness as resilient as a rock, but it also harbors a terrifying being within its body that makes it feel uneasy.

It can absorb blood and hatred to enhance its "demon power".

This person harbors a terrifying monster within them that can devour their "demonic power," perfectly matching their spiritual nature and personality...

In every respect, this person is the most suitable to be its owner.

So the Seven Star Sword chose to bow its head and submit!

'Om! '

After another buzzing sound.

The Seven Star Sword stopped trembling, and its eerie and malevolent aura dissipated.

It's unclear whether it was suppressed or deliberately restrained...

In short, the Seven Star Sword was held in Rocks's hand like an ordinary sword...

"Very good. From now on, you will be my sword, named Seven Stars. Let's walk together towards the title of the world's greatest swordsman!"

Seeing that the Seven Star Sword had suppressed its spirituality and personality, Rocks unleashed his surging Conqueror's Haki.

He stroked the blade of the Seven Star Sword and smiled.

'Om! '
