Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

The collision exploded with a deafening roar, and the injured and weakened Hanafuda was knocked back by a single punch from Rocks.

He gritted his teeth and used his right leg to stop his retreat.

Then, taking a step forward, his claws, covered in jet-black Armament Haki, tore towards Rocks!

'Snapped! '

The claws that had been grabbed were caught by Rocks, who then used his left hand to pull the Hanafuda off balance.

A flash of emerald light appeared on the right fist, causing ripples in the air!

A serious punch!

'boom!'

The fist power invaded Huazha's body.

The impact on his internal organs caused him to cough up blood again, which splattered onto Rocks' face...

"Humph!"

Lox frowned, not wanting to have his face splattered with blood.

Trying to dodge away, he found his left hand grabbed by the Hanafuda, preventing him from using the Sora no Toki to evade...

'boom!'

The lit phantom exploded nearby, the resulting shockwave sending up sprays of blood flying in their faces.

"How could they resort to such disgusting tactics?"

Rocks snorted coldly.

He delivered a powerful punch to Hanafuda's chest, causing her to cough up blood once again.

Instead of flying backward, Hanafuda's right hand gripped Rocks' left hand tightly, using this leverage to stop her backward momentum...

"Die!!"

Hanafuda roared furiously and swung his left fist at Rocks!

"Six Styles of Profound Techniques: Six Kings Spears!"

Taking advantage of that instant, Lucci also flashed to this side, his fists overlapping and unleashing a shockwave from a distance!

"A last-ditch effort? Nothing more!"

Rocks sneered and clashed his fist with Hanafuda's.

The moment after the collision, Lockes was slightly taken aback; the opponent's punch was just a powerless, empty show.

If there's anything to it, it's just the overwhelming and outward-radiating Armament Haki...

Armament Haki external defense?

'boom!'

The deafening roar of the collision exploded in the middle, and Hanafuda was sent flying backward at an extremely fast speed by Rocks' punch.

He was sent flying by Rocks, but it was also Hanafuda's doing.

Hanafuda used Armament Haki to create a defense, using Rocks' punch as a propulsion force to send herself flying backward at an extremely high speed...

He didn't really want to fight Rocks to the bitter end.

Instead, he used this opportunity to escape. Whether it was planned or a coincidence, the place where he flew backwards... happened to be dock number three.

That's where his ship, the "Overlord Dragon God," is located...

'Boom!'

It was at the very moment the flower cards flew backwards.

Lucci's attack followed immediately, striking Rocks from a distance.

It didn't actually hit Rocks; it was blocked by Rocks's externally released Armament Haki defense, only causing Rocks to retreat a dozen steps...

"Tyrant Dragon, you damned bastard!"

Seeing that his full-force attack had only forced Rocks back a few steps, Lucci felt a sense of despair, but what was even more despairing was...

The "Tyrant Dragon" Hanafuda card game has run away!!

"Smile, and subdue this guy..."

Rocks smiled and spoke, ignoring Lucci, and leaped after Hanafuda...

"hateful……"

Hanafuda noticed that Rocks was chasing him, and his expression darkened.

This guy is fast...

However, there was a reason why he withstood two punches from Rocks.

This was to lower Rocks' guard, and his backward flight would happen to pass by Kuina's position...

Hanafuda opened its mouth and let out a huge roar: "Roar!!"

The sound waves vibrated outwards, transforming into a powerful sonic impact.

They charged towards Kuina, hoping to use this to hinder Rocks' pursuit.

He didn't believe the other party would disregard the life and death of their companion.

This was a strike he had put all his strength into, and the female swordsman alone could not withstand it.

Even if they manage to withstand the attack, they will definitely be seriously injured!

Hanafuda is a gamble; if you win, you have a chance to escape; if you lose, you die.

This was his last resort!

"This guy..."

Lockes frowned.

The other party had clearly planned everything meticulously and was already prepared to escape...

Seeing that the opponent's attack was heading towards Kuina, Rocks could not ignore it.

The foot of the object disappeared from its original position, blocking the sonic wave impact.

'boom!'

With a powerful and domineering punch, the attack from the Hanafuda was shattered, but the movement was inevitably hindered...

"Can you escape?"

Lockes' eyes turned cold; he was determined not to let his opponent escape.

His internal energy was mobilized, enhancing his strength, and he pressed forward with a light step...

'Swish, swish, swish...'

His figure flashed several times, each time covering hundreds of meters, gradually closing the distance to Hanafuda...

"Why is it so fast?"

Upon spotting Rocks approaching, Hanafuda panicked completely, her eyes filled with even more fear and resentment.

Is he going to die here?

Do not!

no way!

He can't die yet!

Kaido's plan needs him to carry it out; he can't die now!

Fight!

"Roar!!"

The roar transformed into a shockwave that swept across the air, vibrating it, and wave after wave of sonic impacts crashed down on Rocks like a tidal wave...

'Boom boom boom...'

Rocks threw a punch, the force of which pierced the air.

Crush all sonic impacts and blast them apart!

'Wow!'

With another swing, Rocks caught up with Hanafuda in a single step.

With a mocking glint in his eyes, Lox sneered, "You can't escape. Die here!"

"One Bone Crushing Strike!!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

Hanafuda roared and howled, mobilizing all the power within his body.

Power, dominance, and willpower—everything was poured into his fists!

He slammed down right in front of Rocks' fist!

'Boom!'

The two attacks collided fiercely, sending ripples of air outwards and shockwaves blasting outwards in all directions...

'Click, click!'

The sound of bones cracking rang out, and Hanafuda felt an excruciating pain shooting through her arms.

Muscles were torn apart, bones were broken into pieces...

Not only his two arms, but Hanafuda felt as if the left half of his body had been shattered.

He was transformed into a cannonball and flew backwards several times before finally crashing into a spot, creating a crater in the ground.

Hanafuda herself was also embedded in the pit...

With a "whoosh," Hanafuda coughed up blood containing its internal organs.

His injuries were extremely severe; if he weren't a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, such injuries would have been enough to kill him...
