Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

A beam of golden laser light shot towards Lox.

Light represents speed, although it is not "light" in the physical sense.

But it's also so fast that it's hard to react.

Those without Observation Haki wouldn't even be able to react in time.

This is the Logia-type Glitter Fruit.

It can be said to be the epitome of "ultimate speed".

Leaving aside spatial abilities, if we only talk about speed, perhaps only the Rumble-Rumble Fruit can rival it!

'boom!'

Rocks possessed Observation Haki.

While it's not quite at the level of predicting the future, it is still able to detect attack trajectories.

With a single swing of the Seven Star Sword, the golden light was shattered, turning into countless light particles that vanished without a trace.

"Anyone who can become a Marine Admiral is a monster."

A burning fighting spirit shone in Lox's eyes: "Whether it's Zephyr, Aokiji, or you, you've all put a lot of pressure on me!"

"Elbaf Spear - Mighty Kingdom!"

With both hands gripping the Seven Star Sword, Rocks let out a low shout as Armament Haki stained the blade black.

He violently swept his sword, unleashing a spiral shockwave powerful enough to pierce and tear apart mountains!

"You're the real monster, aren't you...?"

Kizaru's eyes were serious; he dared not be careless.

This attack posed a significant threat to him.

Although he had never met the other party, his judgment was correct; this guy was definitely much stronger than before!

'boom!'

Kizaru suddenly slashed down with his golden lightsaber.

It collided head-on with the incoming spiral shockwave, instantly creating a deafening roar that vibrated the eardrums.

The shattering shockwave swept in all directions, causing the sea below to surge violently.

"laser!"

Amidst the swirling shockwaves, Kizaru spotted Rocks charging towards him and unleashed a laser beam...

"Observation Haki that allows one to foresee the future?"

As soon as Rocks appeared, using his Resonant Spin to bridge the distance between them, golden laser beams shot out.

It was as if they knew his location in advance.

This is something that ordinary Observation Haki cannot achieve.

Only those with Observation Haki capable of foreseeing the future can accomplish this!

'laugh!'

With a flick of his Seven Star Sword, Rocks deflected the golden laser beam, altering its trajectory and sending it hurtling to the left...

"Although I can't compare to those two monsters, I am still a general..."

The golden beam was deflected, but Kizaru's attack followed closely behind.

He appeared before Rocks without anyone noticing, and slashed down with his golden lightsaber.

The sword, made of light, possesses unparalleled sharpness.

Even the Supreme Grade Swords are far inferior to Kizaru's Ame-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi in terms of sharpness!

"I'm not underestimating you!"

Rocks reacted extremely quickly, raising his Seven Star Sword to clash with the lightsaber that Kizaru was slashing down.

'Boom!'

Lightsabers do not have a "physical form," but Armament Haki can "hit" them, and a booming sound reverberates when swords collide.

The external-level Armament Haki clashed and clashed, unleashing a terrifying burst of energy.

With nowhere to grab hold in mid-air, the collision caused both of them to be thrown back by the force of each other...

"What terrifying strength!"

Kizaru steadied himself by stepping on the air to dissipate the force on his body.

His ability allowed him to fly briefly, and he stared straight ahead: "So you really are a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, aren't you? Black-haired swordsman..."

"you guess!"

Lockes remained silent.

Having gained a slight advantage in the previous clash, he moved closer to Kizaru, raised the Seven Star Sword, and slashed down again: "Extreme Slash!"

'laugh!'

The sword missed its mark.

Kizaru's body turned into light particles and disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was above Rocks' head.

Kizaru crossed his arms and struck a pose, with a dazzling golden light shining between his hands: "Yasakani no Magatama!!"

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh!'

One after another, light bullets burst from Kizaru's hand, covering a large area like a barrage of bullets, leaving no room for escape.

"Cero!"

Even with Rocks's Observation Haki fully deployed, he was still unable to accurately track the trajectories of all the light projectiles.

If you don't want to make unnecessary dodges, just defeat them!

Rocks raised his left hand and aimed it at Kizaru high in the sky.

A deep emerald green light shone from his fingertips, somewhat resembling the way Kizaru used his abilities...

*Swoosh! Boom boom boom…*

A streak of emerald green light shot into the sky, piercing through the world and destroying everything in its path.

One after another, the light bullets exploded under the bombardment of the phantom.

Using the momentum gained from the feint, it continued diagonally upwards until it disappeared from sight...

"Speed ​​is power. Have you ever been kicked by the light?"

A voice rang in his ears, and Kizaru appeared beside Rocks without him noticing.

The raised right foot shone with golden light, containing both light and heat.

Kizaru's kick was aimed at Rocks' waist with incredible speed.

Speed ​​is power.

Kizaru's strength may be inferior to Rocks', but his extreme speed gives his attacks unparalleled power!

If that kick lands, even a mountain would be sent flying!

'You have to be able to hit the target...'

These words came to mind.

He couldn't speak because Kizaru's movements were too fast; he might get kicked as soon as he uttered the first word.

However, that doesn't mean Lox didn't realize what was happening.

Rocks, having already detected Kizaru's attack with his Observation Haki, raised his right leg and kicked out in return.

It collided with Kizaru's attack.

With a loud 'boom'.

Rocks steadily blocked Kizaru's attack, and the force of their clash erupted, creating a shockwave that swept outwards...

"That old geezer Zephyr is right, your physique isn't up to par, Kizaru!"

After blocking Kizaru's attack, Rocks' lips curled into a smile.

He raised the Seven Star Sword and slashed down, the speed so fast that only a flash of light could be seen...

'boom!'

Kizaru was quick.

The lightsaber, which had condensed again, rose from below and collided with Rocks's weapon once more!

"..."

An immense, monstrous force pressed down from above, and Kizaru felt his sword-wielding arm tremble slightly, a tingling sensation spreading through him...

He thought to himself that this guy was a monster.

What's with this strange strength?

and also……

Why did Zefa tell this guy that he wasn't physically strong?

Is there such a strong prejudice against him?

'Hiss hiss hiss...'

In the stalemate, the domineering auras emanating from the Seven Star Sword and the lightsaber clashed, producing a series of annihilating sounds...

"A serious punch!"

Rocks threw a punch.

Kizaru retaliated with a punch!

'Boom!!'
