Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

'Boom boom boom...'

One after another, phantom bullets lit up from its palm and rained down on Rocks.

However, it was swept away by Rocks' casual sword strike, and a series of explosions followed...

'Om! '

Rays of emerald light shot out once again from the fingertips of the Blackwing Great Demon Void.

It locked onto Rocks' position and fired at a speed too fast for the naked eye to follow.

'Wow!'

Instead of taking the hit head-on, Rocks dodged by lightly touching the ground with his feet.

Space seemed to fluctuate, and Locus disappeared from the spot as if teleporting or spatial teleportation.

They reappeared atop the Blackwing Great Demon Void!

"A serious punch!!"

Rocks' fist pulsated, creating ripples in the air.

With a single punch, the force of the fist could penetrate the body's defenses, slamming down towards the Black Winged Demon Void below!

'Wow!'

Following the same method, Blackwing Great Demon Void also used the Sound-Shifting Spin to dodge Rocks' punch.

This caused Rocks' punch to miss.

At the same time, a green, javelin-like lightsaber materialized in the Blackwing Demon's hand at some unknown time.

Moonlight Sword!

'laugh!'

The Blackwing Demon's moonsword sliced ​​through the air and slashed at Lox with swiftness and decisiveness.

They wanted to split Rocks in two!

'boom!'

Rocks wielded the Seven Star Sword and slashed down, clashing head-on with the Moonlight Sword.

Instead of the sound of metal clanging, a deafening roar was heard.

The two swords, made of "energy," collided and clashed, producing a series of hissing sounds of annihilation...

"Cero Flash, Moonblade, Steel Skin, you've gained several new abilities you didn't have before!"

"Did absorbing the Devil Fruit's energy make you this strong?"

During the stalemate, Lox grinned and said, "But you still don't have any domineering presence!"

"That's true, you're just a Hollow after all. Haki is a power unique to this world!"

Dominance is the power system of this world.

The Blackwing Great Demon Void has no "physical body," so it naturally cannot control its domineering aura.

At this time, although Rocks was also a "soul or spirit", it did not prevent him from using Haki.

His body is still intact!

'boom!'

Armament Haki flowed and erupted on the Seven Star Sword, and then the force of the eruption pushed aside the Moonlight Sword of the Black Winged Great Demon Hollow.

'boom!'

Then Rocks' eyes narrowed, and his Conqueror's Haki surged forth, impacting the Black Winged Great Demon Hollow.

Then the offensive resumed.

Rocks' fist unleashed a powerful thunderous aura, imbued with the power of a void projectile, and slammed heavily into the chest of the Blackwing Great Demon Void.

"Roar!"

Rocks' Conqueror's Haki couldn't even make the Black Winged Great Demon Hollow lose its senses for a moment.

Seeing the menacing fist coming at it, it simply threw a punch back.

A bright green orb of light appeared in front of the fist.

'Boom!'

The fist... no, it should be said that the fist collided with the phantom.

The power of the void bullet's explosion neutralized the force of Rocks' punch.

Then comes the fistfight!

The moment their fists collided, a deafening explosion erupted, and a shockwave radiated outwards from the center.

"You can't use my moves, but you did use another method, using a phantom bullet to neutralize the power of my attack?"

With that punch, Rocks was forced back several steps.

After regaining his footing, Lox narrowed his eyes: "Anti-ghostly killing?"

"I can use your abilities and techniques; but you cannot use mine."

"You can still fight me now, but once I develop my domineering aura and techniques to a higher level, you will have no choice but to submit to me and become my power!"

Rocks burst into laughter.

Use words to boost your confidence.

He raised his hand and threw another punch, the shockwave of which pierced the air and crushed forward!

"Roar!!"

The Blackwing Demon roared incessantly.

He threw the Moonlight Sword forward, and it pierced straight through Rocks' fist without losing momentum!

'clang!'

With a single slash, the Seven Star Sword deflected the Moonlight Sword.

After a quick step, Locke charged forward, raised his Seven Star Sword, and unleashed a verdant slash forward.

Their bodies followed closely, closing the distance between them!

'Boom boom boom...'

A fierce battle unfolded between the human and the virtual in this special space.

Fists, swords, abilities—all sorts of attacks rained down on the opponent.

They were blocked and hit; the battle was extremely fierce.

It escalated to a fever pitch in an instant...

……

But outside the home...

Lockes remained in the same position.

At this moment, Locus, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the Blackwing Demon Void, was unaware that a green energy was emanating from his body.

This energy manifested as horns on Rocks' head, wings on his back, and a tail at his tailbone...

Furthermore, this emerald green energy color deepens over time.

It gradually turned dark green, and is changing towards a deep green.

It also looks increasingly solid, as if it has truly grown onto Lox's body.

Furthermore, under the influence of this energy, Rocks' body underwent some "mutation".

His skin turned pale, his hair grew longer, and his nails turned into sharp claws...

"What an eerie aura..."

Xiao, who couldn't see anything, could only sense the aura emanating from Rocks, which greatly surprised him: "It feels very similar to the Seven Star Sword, but... it's much more powerful..."

This aura is malevolent.

It bears some resemblance to the Demon Blade.

It was many times stronger.

This made him feel terrified and wary...

"What exactly happened to Rocks? It feels like... he's turning into a demon..."

Kuina, observing the changes in Lox, wore a very solemn expression: "Is this... the Blackwing Demon?"

At this moment, Rocks' appearance did indeed seem to be changing into a "demon".

This might be the outward manifestation of Rocks' Blackwing Demon Fruit, "Devil"?

It gave her a very scary feeling...

Kuina was even more nervous. What exactly would Rocks become?

Can he defeat the "Blackwing Demon"?

Kuina felt it was best not to touch Rocks now, but she still asked the more experienced Ikko, "Ikko, what should we do now?"

"Lox wants us to subdue him when he goes berserk and loses his mind."

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and shook his head: "Rocks is probably 'fighting' the Blackwing Demon inside him right now."

"We'd better not do anything, or it might backfire..."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this answer, Kuina nodded: "That's the only way."

Yi Xiao slowly said, "Let's wait and see. This is the first time I've seen something like this; it's truly extraordinary..."

Kuina said, "Is Rocks' Black Wing Demon Fruit really different from ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits?"

Yi Xiao said, "I have also encountered animal awakeners before, and they have indeed shown a 'devilish' side in some aspects."
