Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

The continuous booming sounds caused the area to tremble slightly.

The aftershocks of a battle between powerful individuals are extremely strong, making it difficult for ordinary people to get close...

"W-what happened?"

"That's... the Blackwing Demon Pirates? They've actually appeared here? And they've even started a battle with the Donquixote Family..."

Among the onlookers hiding in the distance, some recognized Lockes and his group, and their faces showed astonishment.

The fifth Emperor of the Sea has actually appeared here?

And a conflict broke out with the Don Quixote family.

They had a premonition.

Things are about to get chaotic here...

One of the people who had been watching the bullfighting arena spoke up in a deep voice: "Did you see what happened just now? Humans were turned into toys, doesn't that mean... all the toys on this island are humans?"

Another person gritted their teeth and said, "I see... If the toys are all transformed from humans, then this island..."

How could such darkness be hidden here?

Toys are something humans evolved...

This gave the residents of the island a chilling feeling...

Someone suddenly remembered something: "There was a toy that was said to be 'running around' and belonged to someone's family. We thought it was just a malfunction, but now it seems it might actually be true!"

The person next to him hesitated and said, "But what's going on? If that's the case, why don't we have the corresponding memories? Can our memories be erased?"

An old man said confidently, "Devil Fruits are inherently magical, so it's understandable that a Devil Fruit could possess such an ability, right?"

A corner of the bullfighting arena was lifted, and some people happened to see some of the scene.

A little girl turned the defeated "gladiator" into a toy...

The person who was turned into a toy lost all of their memories, which sent chills down many people's spines and made them realize something was amiss...

Panic, anger, and confusion were all visible on the faces of those present.

"Huh? The Den Den Mushi can't make calls? Is it being jammed?"

An employee of a certain newspaper took out a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric scooter) from his pocket to make a call, only to find that the Den Den Mushi could not connect, as if it was being jammed...

Another person tried it, his face turning grim: "It really is..."

"Damn it, why is this happening?"

One man's face darkened, then his gaze fell upon something, and he exclaimed, "Look! What's that? Silk thread?"

Many people looked over upon hearing this.

I saw white threads hanging down from the sky, enveloping the entire island like a birdcage...

Someone recognized it as Doflamingo's ability: "Doflamingo's Devil Fruit ability..."

"If the news gets out, what consequences do you think will be for the Don Quixote family? They'll definitely try to cover this up..."

An elderly man said in a deep voice, "Anyone who knows about what's going on here will be dealt with. But... that's really ruthless. Are they planning to kill everyone on this island?"

The darkness hidden underground cannot be exposed, and the discoverer will undoubtedly be dealt with by the Don Quixote family.

Doflamingo clearly intended to keep the news a secret from outsiders...

One of them gritted his teeth: "How dare this guy?"

The other person scoffed, "Heh... deal with us? The Donquixote Family members need to survive the Blackwing Demon Pirates first..."

'Boom! Boom boom boom…'

The roaring sounds continued unabated. The battlefield ahead was a scene of utter devastation, with powerful warriors locked in a chaotic melee, sending shockwaves radiating outwards...

However, it's clear to anyone with eyes to see that the Don Quixote family is at a disadvantage...

'A birdcage? This guy made the same choice as in the original story…'

Standing beside Little Yi without intervening, Rocks naturally noticed the threads hanging down like a birdcage, and pondered inwardly:

'In the original work, this guy's birdcage seemed quite sturdy; even Ikko only had to defend against it...'

Even a Navy Admiral couldn't break through?

Not sure.

Perhaps it's because in the original work, Issho chose to believe that Luffy could defeat Doflamingo?

In Rocks's memory, there do seem to be some things that cannot be broken, such as the Poneglyphs, the birdcage, and the ice of the ice squirrel...

Lox suddenly became curious.

Could I... break the birdcage myself?

"Robin, please look after Little Yi."

Rocks said something to Robin, who was also not making a move, then took a step forward and stood in mid-air.

As the Seven Star Sword was drawn, a sharp sword aura surged from Rocks' body, and he raised his hand to slash down: "Extreme Slash!"

A deep, dark green slash, nearly a thousand meters long, pierced through the air with overwhelming power, seemingly capable of cutting through anything. In an instant, it covered a vast distance and struck the birdcage's silken threads with tremendous force...

'Boom! Sizzle! Sizzle!'

The strike came down as if it had struck something indestructible. After a loud boom, the strike shattered and cut through the surroundings, leaving behind deep trenches...

"Fufufu, my birdcage is indestructible. Not even the Emperor of the Sea can break it!"

Doflamingo, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Kuina, noticed Rocks's attack and grinned coldly: "You won't escape today, Blackwing Daemon!"

The Birdcage is a powerful technique developed after the Devil Fruit awakens. It uses the strongest threads to create a cage that seals everything inside.

No one can break into the birdcage!

As long as he is not dead and his strength is not exhausted, the birdcage cannot be broken.

The birdcage's silk is specially made, possessing a "hardness" comparable to that of historical texts!

Furthermore, the Navy is on its way to the nearby island. If they can delay them for a while, the Blackwing Daima Pirates will be annihilated here!

"There is nothing a swordsman cannot cut; a swordsman will cut through anything."

Rocks smirked.

Although the sword strike didn't shatter the birdcage, it did cause it to vibrate.

After a quick assessment, Rocks felt confident that he could defeat it with a full-force attack!

With a 'whoosh', deep green energy surged from his body, transforming into horns, wings, and a tail...

Vacuuming - Stage Three!

As Rocks activated Hollowfication Phase 3, a powerful sense of oppression emanated from him.

He just stood there, and it was as if he had become the center of the world, impossible to ignore...

The accumulated energy and the primal power of the Great Demon converged on his arms, transforming them into the claws of the Great Demon and enhancing their strength...

*Sizzle!*

Lockes casually tore open space, stepped inside, and the next moment appeared high in the sky, not far from the point where the birdcage threads intersected.

Cutting just a few threads in the birdcage won't do any good.

Doflamingo might be able to make up for it.

If you're going to cut off something, cut off the point of intersection!

Only in this way can the birdcage be broken.

Staring at the intersection of the birdcage wires above his head, Rocks grinned, gripping the Seven Star Sword with both hands, his sword aura becoming even sharper and more ruthless at that moment...

"Extreme Slash!"

The ultimate sword strike, concentrating all of Rocks' abilities and power into a single point.

Unleashing the sharpest and most extreme sword strike!

'laugh……'

With a single sword strike, the point where the birdcage's silk threads intersected was severed, a soft cracking sound rang out, and the birdcage instantly began to disintegrate...

"Hmm? It's simpler than I expected, so... is this a weakness?"

It was as smooth as cutting butter; Rocks even felt that he could cut it without using his full strength, which made him quite surprised.

Is this the birdcage's weak point?

No ability is invincible, and every ability has a weakness. The weakness of the birdcage lies in this intersection.

Its stiffness is much lower than that of a single thread...

Lox raised an eyebrow: "Was this a lucky accident?"

He was confident he could cut the birdcage.

However, it was unexpected that this would happen so easily; they stumbled upon the birdcage's weakness by sheer chance...

"This is impossible!"

Upon realizing his birdcage had been destroyed, Doflamingo's eyes widened in horror. Lost in thought, he was even slashed by Kuina's sword...

Amidst a splatter of blood, Doflamingo's figure flew backward...

Doflamingo ignored the silk thread stitching his wound, his gaze fixed on Rocks as he gritted his teeth and asked, "How did you know the Birdcage's weakness!?"

The silk thread at the bottom of the birdcage is the strongest, possessing a "hardness" comparable to that of historical texts.

The top is relatively "flexible" to allow the birdcage to retract, and the junction is the birdcage's weak point...

But how would the Blackwing Demon know this?!

The individual threads are so strong that most people would never imagine that the junction of the birdcage would be a weak point; they would think it would be even stronger...

He firmly believed that this weakness was known only to him, and even his subordinates were unaware of it.

The previous user of the String-String Fruit couldn't even awaken its power, let alone develop such a technique...

Did the Blackwing Demon instantly perceive the weakness of this move?
