Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

His figure transformed into a flash of golden light, dodging Rocks' attack...

Just now, Rocks punched the air and shattered it!

"Although you are light, my short-distance teleportation speed is no weaker than yours now..."

Rocks' punch missed its mark, and he used his Observation Haki to lock onto Kizaru's position, taking a step forward to close the distance once again.

A spinning motion is a form of spatial movement!

After catching up with Kizaru, Rocks unleashed a punch: "One Bone!"

'boom!'

Hollowfication: Stage 3 further enhanced Rocks' power, and this punch sent Kizaru flying backward, spitting out his own blood...

Now, in his normal state, Rocks possesses the same strength as when he unleashed his full power six months ago.

Upon entering the second stage of Hollowfication, he possessed the strength to confront Issho head-on without being at a disadvantage.

Upon activating Hollowfication Phase 3, Rocks possesses the power to briefly suppress Issho.

Although the battle with Yixiao was not a life-or-death struggle, it could only be considered a friendly spar.

However, judging from this point of view...

Rocks' full-power burst of strength is slightly superior to Ikko's.

This is also the source of Rocks' confidence in not being afraid of the Navy Admirals or the Four Emperors.

No one can ignore his current strength!

"This speed..."

Kizaru stopped retreating, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were filled with horror.

The Observation Haki that allows one to foresee the future can detect Rocks' movements, but the body is too slow to react.

The opponent's spatial teleportation ability is now even faster.

They caught up with him almost the instant he dodged and moved.

This was the first time he had encountered someone who could keep up with his speed, and he felt a little flustered...

'boom!!'

The fist came crashing down again.

This time, Kizaru anticipated the situation and did not choose to dodge.

His right leg rose and stomped down, colliding head-on with the fist...

An unstoppable force surged forth, penetrating Kizaru's body and impacting him.

Kizaru coughed up a mouthful of blood with a "whoosh," and was blasted away again...

'Boom boom boom...'

A barrage of emerald green light projectiles converged and surrounded Kizaru, striking him as he was sent flying backward, causing a series of explosions...

"Could this state be what awakening truly means?"

Under the barrage of Hollow bullets, Kizaru raised the Yata Mirror light shield formed by golden light.

Standing atop the Light Shield, Vice Admiral Kizaru gritted his teeth and cursed, "What kind of Devil Fruit is the Black Wing Demon Fruit? It can boost my strength twice..."

The other party's appearance already resembled that of a "demon".

It really does resemble the awakening of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user.

Although it is somewhat different from the awakening of other Zoan-type Devil Fruits.

However, considering that the other party is a mythical beast... it's normal for there to be differences.

The Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Black Wing Demon form, is probably even more terrifying than he imagined.

It can forcibly boost one's strength twice!

"Elbaf Spear - Mighty Kingdom!"

Stopping the barrage of phantom bullets, Rocks gripped the Seven Star Sword with both hands and used his Observation Haki to lock onto Kizaru's location.

A spiral shockwave swept out, penetrating everything!

"Is he trying to kill me here? This guy..."

A sense of danger washed over him again, and Kizaru gritted his teeth and used his ability to widen the light shield he was maintaining.

Light is not only a weapon, but also a shield!

'Boom!'

A powerful spiral shockwave pierced through and slammed into the golden light shield.

It triggered a deafening roar that vibrated the eardrums!

Using the light shield to momentarily block the attack, Kizaru's figure transformed into light particles, leaving his original location and coalescing at another spot...

"I already told you that I can keep up with your speed now. Even if you can sense my movements, you can't instantly transform into your element again to dodge, right?"

Rocks once again used the Sound Spin to catch up with Kizaru.

After the battle, Rocks also discovered a weakness in Kizaru that wasn't exactly a weakness.

After Kizaru uses his elemental form to dodge, he needs to reassemble his body to use his elemental form again.

In the brief moment of reuniting their bodies, as long as they can catch up with Kizaru, they will have a chance to make a move!

"A serious punch!"

Lox grinned maliciously.

He threw a punch at Kizaru, who was taking shape in front of him.

Ripples danced across the air above the fist, carrying a penetrating force.

Zephyr is right, Kizaru's physique is indeed not very strong.

It shouldn't be called a weakness, but rather a shortcoming.

He's not even as good as Rocks in his normal state, let alone when he's activated Hollowfication Stage 3.

Use your strengths to attack their weaknesses.

That's how battles are fought!

"You monster..."

Kizaru didn't have time to use his elemental transformation to dodge, but his Observation Haki, which foresaw the future, allowed him to "see" even further—

If the attack is blocked by the light shield Yata Mirror, the opponent will unleash an even stronger attack, and the user will be sent flying backward, coughing up blood...

If you get caught up in the opponent's fighting rhythm, you will be in even greater danger.

The only option left is to fight them to the death!

As a naval admiral, he doesn't have many weaknesses; his slightly inferior physique is only relative to other strong individuals of the same rank.

Kizaru naturally also knows martial arts and fist techniques, so his only option in this situation is to throw a punch...

'Boom!!'

The two fists, covered in Armament Haki and their abilities, collided in the next moment.

A clash of domineering auras, a collision of abilities.

A terrifying roar erupted.

Centered on the point of impact of the fist, emerald green and golden light shone.

Shockwaves radiated outwards, causing ripples in the air...

'Snap! Snap!'

Two sounds of bones breaking came from each other's arms.

Kizaru's bones were broken by the penetrating force of the punch, while Rocks' bones were broken by the destructive Haki.

Both were injured in the fierce clash...

With a loud 'boom'.

The two attacked with tremendous force, sweeping across the surrounding area and forcing the two of them back...

Rocks only retreated a few meters, while the physically weaker Kizaru was forced back more than ten meters.

Sit down!

"Again!"

Rocks took a step forward and charged again...

'Boom boom boom...'

The two then engaged in an even more intense battle.

The air around them vibrated violently, and a constant, intense roar filled the air.

Deep green and golden light continuously bloomed on the battlefield between the two.

Rocks attacked with almost full force each time, unleashing a barrage of attacks at Kizaru.

Kizaru also pushed his abilities to the limit, and his attacks were filled with the power of light bursts.

The fight between the two was no longer visible to the naked eye.

It's not just fast, it also causes glaring light pollution...

The energy accumulated in Rocks' body was also being rapidly depleted during the battle; he had tested the duration of Hollowfication Phase 3.

It can only last for a few tens of minutes at most.

Activating the second stage of the Hollowfication skill previously consumed a lot of stamina and abilities.

I sensed it a little.

Rocks can only maintain this for a maximum of twenty minutes now.

We need to defeat Kizaru during this time!
