Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

There is precedent for this.

That's how rubber fruits are dried.

Robin was taken aback: "There's such a saying?"

Lox gave a knowing smile that only he knew: "Hehehe, there's nothing you can't do if you put your mind to it."

"Let alone mythical beasts, even the Thousand-Armed Asura God might be..."

After experiencing events such as "Rubber Sun God," "Stinky X," and "The Four Great Gods,"

Rocks had come to terms with many things...

"???"

The people in the room all had question marks on their heads.

What nonsense is Rocks spouting?

"I am the god of the new era. Kuina is the God of Swords, Nami is the God of Thunder... oh, or maybe the God of Rain, Robin is the God of a Thousand Hands, Illya is the God of Medicine, and Issho is the God of Gravity. Yes, we are all gods, and we all have a bright future!"

Lox clicked his tongue.

"Neuropathy!"

Nami looked at Rocks, who was rambling incoherently, and pouted: "You haven't really been affected by the 'Black Winged Demon' inside you, have you? Why are you talking nonsense?"

Kuina looked Rocks up and down, her face full of suspicion: "..."

Lox shrugged: "Just a thought..."

Lockes didn't continue the topic, but instead said to Yixiao, "By the way, Yixiao, spar with me later. I've made further progress in developing my abilities, and my strength has improved considerably."

"I want to test my current abilities."

There is a general-level combatant named Youxiao.

Rocks naturally wanted to test his current abilities and see what he could achieve.

Is it really possible to go head-to-head with a general-level officer?

Yi Xiao nodded and smiled, "Of course, I am also very interested in your current strength."

"That aura from before really put a lot of pressure on me..."

"breath?"

Locus paused for a moment, then asked, "Did I undergo any other changes during my battle with the 'Blackwing Demon'?"

"Something has changed..."

After hearing Kuina's and Ichisho's descriptions, Lox fell into deep thought: 'Dark green or even dark green energy covered his body, forming horns, wings, a tail...'

'What kind of tailed beast chakra cloak is this?'

Is he really a Void Jinchūriki?

Even the tailed beast chakra cloak has appeared...

'So that energy really has other uses...'

Lox was also convinced of some of his previous assumptions.

That energy has other uses too!

It can be used not only as "food" for the Blackwing Great Demon Void, but also to enhance its own strength.

Furthermore, the higher his control over the Blackwing Great Demon Void's "original power" becomes, the higher the utilization rate of this energy should also be...

It's like the blond-haired cult leader's use of chakra against the red nine-tailed fox...

Initially, one could only use a small portion of the leaked chakra; later, one could mobilize more chakra in the Tailed Beast Chakra Mode; and finally, one could achieve Perfect Tailed Beast Transformation…

Even a trainee Grim Reaper who couldn't understand human speech was like that—

At first, it could only be used in a simple way, such as putting on a blurry mask. Then it was a semi-blurry state where half of the body was blurred. Finally, it was completely blurred...

Both of the above...

All of these situations are strikingly similar to those of Lox!

Chapter 154 Rocks VS. Ikko!

Will that state affect you?

Guina asked this question.

"Probably not."

Locus counted on his fingers and pondered, "Before, I was able to use the energy I had accumulated to enhance myself. That state should be a deeper manifestation of energy utilization efficiency."

"If I can master that state, my burst of power might be even stronger."

Both Kuina and Ichisho said that he felt even more oppressive in that state.

This should be a deeper level of energy utilization, allowing his strength to be unleashed more powerfully in a short period of time.

Like Jinchuriki and Hollowfied Shinigami, they have different stages!

Kuina asked curiously, "Can you do that now?"

"I'll try it later and see..."

Lockes didn't know either.

That state was the first time it had occurred, and it happened without Lox's knowledge.

There are many uncertainties.

However, the fact that it happened once is enough to show that that state and that power could be controlled by Rocks.

He smiled and said, "Then let's spar after you've confirmed the changes in your body."

Rocks nodded: "Yes, in a few days, I'll need to practice some new moves..."

Afterwards, Rocks chatted casually with his companions, but he didn't stop eating.

After eating enough food for over a hundred people, I finally felt that I was done.

When Rocks enters "competitive eating" mode, he digests and absorbs food faster than usual.

All the energy we consume is converted into energy and stored in our bodies.

Waiting for the Blackwing Great Demon Void to devour and digest this energy...

This energy should be enough to sustain the Blackwing Great Demon Void for most of the day, during which time Lox will not need to eat.

After all, it takes time for the Blackwing Great Demon Void to digest its energy.

To be honest...

The black-winged great demon void, when curled into a ball, will devour energy like a black hole, but at a slower speed than when it is "awake".

This is the difference between being passive and being active.

The passive absorption is the subconscious absorption of the sleeping Blackwing Great Demon Void, while the active absorption is Rocks feeding the energy to the Blackwing Great Demon Void's mouth.

This is what "repelling" and "appeasing" mean!

……

In the following days.

Rocks had been practicing the Blackwing Demon's ability and techniques of feedback.

In other words, Cero, Steel Skin, and Moonblade.

Cero, needless to say, is a superior ability to Cero.

It is more destructive and lethal.

However, its greater power also makes it more difficult to control.

It's not that Lox couldn't perform it successfully.

This kind of thing is still possible.

A single finger tap can unleash a Cero.

Rather, Rocks was unable to effectively integrate Cero with his techniques...

These are techniques such as One Bone, Serious Punch, One Bone Collapse, Extreme Slash, and Elbaf Spear - Mighty Nation.

Rocks incorporates Hollow Bullets to enhance its power and destructive force.

The plan is to incorporate Cero into the moves. While it's not exactly developing a new move, it does add a bit of something different...

What to say?

It requires balancing the power of domineering aura, strength, and holographic attacks.

The techniques for generating power have also changed, so it's not possible to use them effectively.

This requires time to figure out.

Rocks had previously trained to incorporate the power of the Hollow Bullet into his techniques.

Steel armor simply increases defensive capabilities.

Similar to the iron block in one of the Six Styles.

However, it's not the hardness of the muscles, but the hardness of the skin.

It was as if he was wearing a thin layer of armor, and even a sharp blade could hardly cut through Rocks' skin.

When you touch it, it feels no different from ordinary skin.

All abilities are controllable; they can be passive or active.

Rocks was very satisfied with the Cero and Steel Skin abilities and techniques.

One enhances its attack, the other enhances its defense.

As for the final Moonlight Sword...

To be honest, the help it provided to Lox was rather pointless.
