Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

"However, his aura is very different from that of Rocks at this moment..."

Before he destroyed his own eyes, he had fought against Zoan-type Awakened.

However, none of those Zoan-type Awakened individuals possessed an aura as sinister and powerful as Rocks's...

……

Within the realm of the mind and the space of consciousness.

'Boom boom boom...'

The battle between the real person and the illusory one continues.

And it became increasingly tragic.

Rocks could use Haki, and he also unleashed a series of physical and sword techniques.

Yet they still struggled to deal with the Blackwing Great Demon Void...

This guy is really difficult to deal with!

The Blackwing Great Demon Void doesn't have many attack methods; it's unclear whether some of them were unused or unusable.

In short, using techniques such as Cero, Cero, and Moonlight Blade, he fought Rocks to a standstill...

They even seem to be gaining the upper hand!

'Boom!!'

Rocks had already gone all out, holding nothing back.

After exchanging another blow with the Blackwing Demon Void, both retreated simultaneously...

"You're really troublesome, Great Demon!"

Rocks pulled the Moonblade from his shoulder.

There was no blood splattering...

This is not the outside world; this body is merely a "soul, a spirit" manifested from the consciousness of Lox.

However, due to his injuries, Rocks's form became somewhat transparent, like a semi-transparent ghost...

"If we're really going to talk about it, I should be considered your 'boss,' right?"

Lox's chest heaved violently, his breathing heavy, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Is it really okay for you to be so insubordinate?"

"Roar!"

After hearing what Rocks said.

The Blackwing Great Demon Void, whose aura had weakened considerably, only let out a roar that Rocks could not understand.

They then launched another attack.

The "fierceness and malice" in its eyes were so obvious that they could be seen with the naked eye.

The Blackwing Demon Lord appeared to be intent on killing Rocks and devouring his soul!

"What an unreasonable guy. I remember the 'nature' you represent is 'nothingness,' right?"

Shouldn't one be free from desires and indifferent to everything?

"Why are you so fierce now!?"

Rocks gritted his teeth.

He charged towards the Black Winged Demon, wielding the Seven Star Sword.

'Boom boom boom...'

The great battle between the two sides resumed...

'Boom!!'

They fought for an unknown amount of time.

Half of Rocks' body was torn apart by a Cero. Luckily, it wasn't his flesh, or blood would have been splattered all over the ground...

But it really hurts.

Injury here won't have any impact on the body externally, but the pain will be there.

This is the pain of the soul.

It's even more torturous than a physical injury!

"It's only polite to reciprocate. You've ruined my body, so you won't get away with it!"

Rocks gritted his teeth.

The ferocious expression on his face became more pronounced, whether from pain or something else was unclear.

At this moment, Lox used his other hand to grab the right hand of the Blackwing Demon's illusory probe.

It uses super-fast regeneration to repair half of the body.

With half his body and right arm not yet fully recovered, Locus threw a punch at the Blackwing Demon...

'boom!!'

Under this punch.

The Blackwing Great Demon Void was blasted away from mid-air.

Its body transformed into a cannonball, crashing into something resembling ground...

"Elbaf Spear - Mighty Kingdom!"

With a thought, Rocks conjured the Seven Star Sword once more.

He gripped the sword hilt with both hands and swung it fiercely at the Black Winged Demon Void below!

As Rocks violently swung his sword, a terrifying and powerful spiral shockwave shot downwards!

"Hoohoho!"

The Blackwing Great Demon Void showed no weakness whatsoever.

It condensed a Cero again and shot straight upwards.

It collided head-on with the descending spiral shockwave!

'Boom!'

A terrifying roar accompanied the shockwave, and the center of the collision was once again illuminated with endless light.

Let the emerald green light fill this slightly dim space...

"Give me a break, you big demon! This is my territory!"

'Boom boom boom...'

The figure, pointing straight downwards, passed through the dissipating shockwaves. Rocks, covered in jet-black Armament Haki, blocked the shockwaves.

The speed of its descent was so fast that it pierced through the air, and a powerful wave of Conqueror's Haki swept over it!

"Double Bone Crushing Strike!"

Like a meteorite crashing down from the sky, Locusts charged toward the Blackwing Great Demon Void with terrifying momentum.

Leaning back slightly, his two fists crackled with domineering lightning, containing the power of illusory bullets.

Taking advantage of the downward momentum.

Rocks unleashed his strongest attack yet!

'Boom!'

Almost instantly, Lox's two fists landed on the Blackwing Demon.

The violent power erupted at this moment.

A deafening roar that shook the very fabric of space erupted at that moment!

A violent burst of force erupted from Rocks' fist.

It was just a fist, yet it seemed to possess a terrifying, destructive power!

"Roar!!"

A roar echoed from the Blackwing Great Demon Void, and Locus could faintly hear anger and resentment in its voice.

But there seems to be a hint of... relief?

Maybe I misheard?

Because the next moment, the Blackwing Great Demon's roar was drowned out by an even more terrifying roar...

'Boom!'

The powerful attack crushed and tore apart the Blackwing Demon's body.

Shockwaves powerful enough to destroy mountains continued to spread throughout this space.

Rocks himself was thrown backward by the shockwave from the burst of power.

The already unstable body became even more transparent, as if it would disappear at any moment...

"Huhuhu..."

Rocks, who was sent flying backward, crashed into the "boundary" and became embedded in it, without falling from mid-air.

Rocks' chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath...

"Hahaha! Hahahaha! Have you witnessed my power? Great Demon, obediently hand over your power!"

It hurt terribly; an unbearable agony shot through his soul. But Lox laughed heartily, his laughter filled with unbridled joy…

This battle was both difficult and brutal.

But there is no doubt that he won.

He defeated the Blackwing Great Demon Void with a Pyrrhic victory!

Why do you say that?

Because... the Black-Winged Great Demon Void, torn apart by his fist force, has now returned to its original position.
