Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Therefore, Rocks' offensive became exceptionally fierce. Ignoring his injuries and exhaustion, he fought Kizaru with all his might...

It's fair to say they were dominating Kizaru!

At this moment, Kizaru felt an urge to die, facing the attack of a madman who was unafraid of injury and disregarded everything.

His heart sank to the bottom.

Even if he strikes or hits them, they don't care at all.

It's just a relentless barrage of punches and sword strikes.

Under this reckless fighting style, he was already covered in wounds and was being relentlessly suppressed by his opponent.

The physical and mental exertion is also greatly depleted, and the slightest carelessness will result in being attacked fiercely by the opponent.

Kizaru felt he was about to collapse...

'Boom!'

After another fierce collision, two colors of light illuminated the world on the battlefield.

Shockwaves surged and swept across the land, the sea surged and crashed against the waves...

'Whoosh! '

A figure was sent flying backward from the two-colored light, with a faint trace of blood splattering in the air.

It was none other than Kizaru!

At this moment, Kizaru's arm bent strangely, and blood gushed from his mouth...

His breathing was very weak; he was clearly nearing his limit...

After barely managing to steady himself, Kizaru clutched his broken right arm, his chest heaving, blood trickling from his mouth: "Cough cough..."

crazy!

This guy's gone mad!

He's a complete monster.

Even though half of his body was annihilated by light and heat, he could still unleash such a terrifying attack...

Under that attack.

His right arm was broken in multiple places, countless bones in his body were broken, and parts of his internal organs were shattered.

Pain spread throughout my body, and a feeling of exhaustion washed over me.

If it weren't for the elemental "repairing and maintaining" of his injuries, Kizaru felt he might have died.

Terrible!

At this point, the only word to describe Kizaru's situation is "tragic"...

"You're really tough to deal with. That one punch wasn't enough to completely defeat you?"

Rocks wasn't in good shape either.

Half of his body was charred black, with the stark white bones and bloody internal organs vaguely visible.

However, the injuries are healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Super-fast regeneration is truly an amazing technology.

As long as he has physical strength and energy remaining, he will continuously recover...

Say something.

Kizaru's counterattack was also quite terrifying.

The burst of light and heat blasted his tough body into this grotesque state.

It's just that his physical condition is a bit special.

Anyone else would probably be dead by now...

While this was also why Rocks was able to withstand Kizaru's attack, and why his subsequent outburst inflicted such severe damage on Kizaru...

The injury healed quickly.

Although Lox felt exhausted and his breath was weak, he was still very excited.

"Only by fighting with all your might can you accurately judge someone's strength."

Rocks clenched his fist.

He stared at Kizaru and said, "When I sparred with Issho, I never suffered such a terrible defeat..."

He didn't suffer such a terrible defeat when he sparred with Yixiao.

It's not that Ikki is inferior to Kizaru, but rather that sparring and actual combat are different.

There are many factors that determine the outcome of a battle between equally strong individuals.

There is also a relationship of restraint and being restrained.

No one dares to say they can win every time.

Even Whitebeard, who is known as the "strongest," wouldn't dare say he could reliably defeat the other four emperors.

It's just that he has a slightly higher probability of winning.

Say something.

Rocks is considered a good counter to Kizaru.

Rocks's spatial teleportation ability, such as the Sonija, allows him to catch up with Kizaru in a short distance. In addition, Rocks has stronger physical abilities and a greater advantage in recovery...

Therefore, Kizaru is at a disadvantage when facing him.

Even with these disadvantages, Kizaru was still able to fight him to this extent.

That alone is enough to show that Kizaru is no ordinary old man.

There are no ordinary admirals in the navy!

If Issho were to fight Kizaru, Issho probably wouldn't be able to suppress Kizaru as effectively as he has...

Furthermore, although Rocks could suppress Kizaru, if Kizaru was determined to leave, Rocks couldn't stop him.

The reason his opponent fought him to this extent was because Rocks had hostages in his hands...

Kizaru gritted his teeth and remained silent: "..."

Shouldn't this guy check the other person's mood before saying that?

He was already seriously injured.

While they wouldn't lose their ability to fight, they would need to continue fighting...

He doesn't think he has that ability anymore!

The opponent, however, had only exhausted his physical strength and domineering aura, but his spirit and energy remained full.

Is it really okay to talk about how terrible it was in front of him when he was seriously injured?

"I'm really unlucky. During a mission, I actually ran into you, a monster who's been hiding for half a year..."

Kizaru is genuinely contemplating suicide right now.

That's incredibly bad luck!

This guy hid for more than half a year, how come I ran into him as soon as he showed up?

Their strength has increased to such an exaggerated level.

The other person in that state...

Although he didn't want to admit it, the other party was just beating him up!

Without the advantage of speed, he really didn't have a good way to deal with this physically powerful guy.

His weaknesses would be magnified in front of this kind of person.

If it were Akainu or Aokiji who were here, they definitely wouldn't have suffered such a terrible fate...

Am I really physically weak?

Zephyr really hit the nail on the head; in this respect, he is indeed inferior to Akainu and Aokiji...

Even Kizaru felt that the black-haired swordsman was more troublesome than Kaido the Beasts or Charlotte Linlin the Big Mom.

At least those two, while strong, couldn't keep up with his speed...

"Without these past six months, I wouldn't be your match."

Lox spat, "Only by using this power could I catch up with your speed. It's clear that simply cultivating is far less effective than fighting and killing stronger opponents..."

During his time on the Sky Island, Rocks explored the "hollowfication" state while also attempting to cultivate the application of advanced Haki.

The result is that we haven't even gotten started.

Observation Haki's ability to foresee the future, Armament Haki's ability to destroy internal structures, and Conqueror's Haki's ability to entangle.

Rocks doesn't yet know how to use these three advanced techniques of dual-color Haki...

The ability to foresee the future using Observation Haki is too mystical.

He didn't even manage a smile.

Or perhaps it's because Issho isn't particularly skilled in this aspect of Observation Haki.

Issho's Observation Haki excels in its range of perception and the ability to sense emotions, so Rocks had to rely on himself.

However, it's very difficult to rely on yourself.

Without expert guidance, you need a special opportunity to grasp the knack...

The Armament Haki used to destroy internal structures is not mysterious.

Rocks failed to master it not because he lacked physical strength or Haki.

It's just that I haven't grasped the techniques.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Armament Haki's outward flow and internal destruction seem to operate on the same principle.

But Lox can tell you.
