Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"Gravity Blade - Fierce Tiger!"

Yi Xiao sensed the danger and drew his cane-sword "Gambler's Line" from its sheath.

Gravity is concentrated on the blade, and the powerful gravity distorts the surrounding space.

With a smile and a swing of the sword, the gravity stored on the blade, powerful enough to distort space, was unleashed.

This force of gravity is like a tiger pouncing, capable of tearing everything in its path apart!

'Buzzing...'

The disordered gravity distorted and deformed the space in front of them, creating a peculiar distorted scene.

Everything along the path was twisted and torn apart by this boundless gravity.

'Boom!'

next moment.

The spreading ice waves collided with the strong accumulated gravity.

The explosion unleashed a terrifying power that shook the island, and a massive shockwave swept across the island, wave after wave…

The shockwave swept across the area, causing the surrounding ice to crack and reveal the frozen sea surface...

'Boom boom boom!!'

The powerful clash between the two generals showed no signs of stopping, with booming sounds echoing continuously from the conflict.

The commotion grew louder and louder until the surrounding ice and coastline showed signs of collapse.

In a battle between powerful individuals, even a single clash is enough to destroy a corner of the island...

'boom!'

Time seemed to have passed for a long time, yet it also felt like only a second had gone by.

After another deafening roar that shook the island, the commotion finally subsided...

The ice waves stopped flowing, and the strong accumulated gravity disappeared.

Only the sea surface exposed by the torn ice remained, with chunks of ice of varying shapes floating on the surface...

'I'm definitely not at that level yet...'

Having witnessed the clash of their ultimate moves, Rocks muttered to himself.

I might be able to block this attack if I went all out now, but it wouldn't be easy, and it wouldn't be as effortless as it was for those two...

It's not that he's weak, it's that these two are too strong!

He was still slightly inferior...

However, Rocks was not discouraged.

His growth rate is already fast enough.

Give him some more time, and he will reach that level too.

This won't take too long!

Nami was dumbfounded. This exaggerated scene made her shout, "Wow, Uncle Yixiao is too strong, even stronger than Xiao Luo!"

Although I heard from Rocks that a laugh was better than him.

However, seeing is believing, and now that she saw it, she felt that Yixiao was indeed much better than Lox.

With Lox and Youxiao in the Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Guild, she felt truly at ease.

I'm no longer afraid of any Marine Headquarters Admirals!

Locus: "..."

You don't have to say it!

Robin was also quite surprised and shocked, muttering to himself, 'He blocked it? No wonder Rocks wanted to bring Mr. Ichisho on board; he really is a monster...'

Xiao Yi was very understanding, praising both of them: "Uncle Yixiao is amazing, but Captain is amazing too!"

"..."

Kuina didn't speak, but simply tightened her grip on the Wado Ichimonji.

His eyes held sharpness and determination.

Sooner or later, she will grow to that level too.

Only in this way could she stand shoulder to shoulder with Lox, as she was the vice-captain of the Blackwing Demon Adventurer's Crew appointed by Lox!

Xiao Xiao, who had never been praised so directly before, was a little uncomfortable. She just smiled lightly and said, "You are all too kind. I can only do my best in my humble way."

Locus: "..."

Yi Xiao: This guy is really Versailles!

……

"Was it blocked?"

Compared to the relaxed demeanor of Rocks and the others, Aokiji's expression was extremely solemn.

The blind swordsman who made the move was very strong, even stronger than the black-haired swordsman.

They blocked his attack so easily.

Clearly, the other party is on the same level as him.

He would definitely be qualified to serve as an admiral in the navy!

Aokiji took a deep breath, staring straight ahead, and murmured solemnly, "Such a powerful figure has actually appeared on the sea, and he's even led by the black-haired swordsman..."

"This is a huge problem. I hope the black-haired swordsman will agree to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea, otherwise... I can't take them down by myself..."

The Navy has very little information about "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks.

They knew even less about their companions.

Now he knows two.

Nico Robin, whom the World Government considers a threat, and a blind swordsman whose strength is on par with hers.

In addition, there's the "black-haired swordsman" Rocks, whose talent and potential are terrifying, making him the "most ferocious newcomer."

This group is no longer a potential threat, but a real and enormous threat that could impact the situation at sea.

To be honest, Aokiji is having a bit of a headache right now.

Even though the black-haired swordsman rejected the Seven Warlords of the Sea's offer, he still couldn't defeat him...

……

The inexplicable outbreak of the battle naturally attracted the attention of many people on the coast.

Some people were also heading this way from the battlefield where Rocks and Hawkeye had just fought...

After all, the two were fighting well, but then the black-haired swordsman suddenly stopped fighting and rushed towards the shore.

Hawkeye followed closely behind.

This naturally aroused the curiosity of many people...

Many fast-moving people, upon arriving at the scene, witnessed the violent collision and froze in place...

"Ice? That's Marine Admiral Aokiji? Someone can actually fight Aokiji!?"

"Who is that person? I've never heard of him before!?"

"They are the black-haired swordsman's companions; they acted together!"

"Hiss, the black-haired swordsman's companion actually has the strength to fight an admiral? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"

Discussions arose in the room.

Although no one knows Yixiao's identity.

But Yixiao was with Rocks just now, so he was obviously Rocks's companion.

The black-haired swordsman's companion, capable of fighting a Marine Admiral?

This is truly jaw-dropping...

From the shore, Hawkeye's sharp gaze swept over there, his eyes narrowing slightly: "The owner of Gambler's Line, one of the Twelve Supreme Grade Swords, is indeed no weakling."

"But I never expected to be able to fight Aokiji, it's truly amazing..."

Just moments ago, he had already recognized that the staff-sword in Yixiao's hand was one of the twelve supreme great swords.

This also indicates that the opponent's strength is not weak.

But no one expected that the other party could fight against Aokiji.

At least the collision just now was evenly matched.

A top-tier expert capable of fighting a naval admiral—this sea truly is a place where hidden talents abound…

……

"Your strength far exceeds my expectations..."

Aokiji did not make another move; he alone could not defeat his opponent.

Standing on another protruding block of ice, Aokiji looked ahead and said, "Let's stop here. I don't want to fight you."

"At first, I didn't know that Nico Robin's partner was you, the black-haired swordsman..."

Aokiji looked at Rocks, who was at the head of the group, and exhaled a cold breath: "Now that you know, I naturally won't attack her. Let's talk..."

"Did you need something from me?"

Rocks also stopped making a move.

The anger had subsided considerably, and continuing the fight would be pointless.

Could I possibly kill Aokiji here?

That's not very realistic.

Judging from Aokiji's behavior at this moment and before, the other party clearly did not want to fight him.
