Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

The aura of brutality and slaughter was too obvious.

Like a light in the dark, it cannot be ignored.

Kaido stared at Rocks and grinned, "But why does it seem like your awakening failed?"

There are cases of Zoan-type Devil Fruit users failing to awaken their powers.

The Rocks in his current state seems to have lost his self-awareness and become a monster that only knows destruction and killing.

This is very similar to the situation where a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user fails to awaken their powers and their consciousness is devoured by a "demon"!

If he remembers correctly...

If a Devil Fruit user fails to awaken their power, their strength will not increase; in fact, it will decrease. At most, their regenerative abilities will become stronger.

But Lox was...

Kaido was a little confused about the situation!

"..."

As if hearing Kaido's rambling, Rocks turned his gaze and locked it on Kaido.

The rampaging Lox doesn't care who's with whom.

If it's a threat... then kill it!

'Om! '

Rocks pointed his finger at Kaido.

Black light condensed, and Black Cero was released from his hand, rushing towards Kaido like a laser beam!

"Looks like you've really lost consciousness. I really overestimated you, Blackwing Demon!"

Kaido roared, his eyes turning cold, and he unleashed a violent burst of heat: "Heat Breath!"

'Boom! Thud!'

The two laser-like attacks collided, producing a deafening roar.

But in just a moment, the heat was destroyed by the Black Crimson Flash, overwhelming and irresistible, its power was on a completely different level!

'Boom!'

Black Cero slammed into Kaido to his astonishment.

A massive explosion rang out, and flames shot into the sky.

Kaido was engulfed by the explosion, and then his body was blasted away like a ripped sack...

His body pierced through countless buildings before finally crashing into a raised slope to stop his backward flight.

This is the "high ground" where the Dressrosa Royal Palace is located, the highest point in Dressrosa!

"puff……"

Under the immense impact, Kaido coughed up a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with shock and horror.

How did this guy become so strong?

Damn it!

Before Kaido could be shocked for long, he sensed the impending danger.

A spear crackling with lightning flew past him, moving with incredible speed, and fell straight towards his location...

'Boom!'

The massive explosion reverberated throughout Dressrosa, and the no-man's-land of the Royal Palace Highlands was utterly destroyed by the devastating "Thunder Spear."

A huge mushroom cloud shot into the sky, and the rising mushroom cloud could be clearly seen from the neighboring island.

"Cough cough, it has actually become so powerful."

The dragon coughed up a mouthful of blood and drifted amidst the swirling shockwave, barely managing to maintain its balance.

He stared at Lox, who had transformed into a "demon," with a fierce and solemn gaze, muttering to himself with extreme gravity, "What exactly happened to this guy..."

This is extremely unusual!

Why did this guy become so terrifying after his "awakening failed"?

Their strength has more than doubled.

If I hadn't dodged that attack, I would probably be seriously injured and unable to fight again!

monster!

This thought inexplicably welled up in Kaido's mind.

Rocks has now become a monster in the truest sense!

Chapter 241 Kaido's Defeat! Im's Retreat! No Enemies Left on the Battlefield!

'Wow!'

The space fluctuated, and the berserk Rocks, riding the Sonic Spin, flashed to Kaido's side.

The Seven Star Sword appeared in his hand without him even noticing, and with a swift and deadly strike, he brought it down.

Kaido's face darkened, and he grabbed his spiked club to clash with it, resulting in a loud explosion.

'boom!'

The collision created a roaring, surging shockwave, and the ground was plowed into furrows.

*Sizzle!*

The Seven Star Sword, which had been locked in a stalemate, disappeared and reappeared in Kaido's left hand. Rocks flicked the blade, leaving a wound on Kaido's body.

In pain, Kaido's eyes flashed with rage, and he lashed out with his tail at Rocks.

With a 'snap', it was blocked by Rocks' demonic tail.

'laugh!'

Immediately afterwards, Rocks pressed down with his free right hand again, and in an instant, the Seven Star Sword was transferred to his right hand.

The attack, which shifted back and forth, caught Kaido off guard.

The Seven Star Sword, imbued with the power of Cero, struck Kaido, leaving a bloody gash, and he was sent flying by the blow...

'Boom boom boom...'

Rocks tore open the space, creating a spatial rift behind Kaido. Cero flashes rained down on Kaido, causing a series of explosions.

The force of the explosion caused Kaido to change direction from being sent flying backwards, and he was hit back like a baseball...

"You bastard! Hot air!"

Kaido adjusted his stance, a sharp pain shooting through his body, causing his eyes to turn bloodshot. He opened his mouth and unleashed a violent, scorching breath, charging forward.

"..."

Without saying a word, Rocks thrust the Seven Star Sword forward.

'boom!'

The sword's edge thrusts forward, as if piercing through a surface, breaking through the raging heat.

The shattered flames swept around, and the temperature suddenly soared.

Despite being surrounded by flames, Rocks remained completely unaffected.

"Great Power Thunder Bagua!"

With a low growl, Kaido flew through the air, his feet treading on a cloud of flames.

The spiked club is surrounded by lightning of the Mythical Zoan type, and is simultaneously covered with Armament Haki and entwined with Conqueror's Haki.

A fierce blow slammed down on Rocks!

Kaido discovered that Rocks in this state was unable to use Haki to enhance his attack power.

Then use your domineering aura to suppress the opponent!

The difference in power between an attack imbued with Haki and one without is enormous!

"..."

Rocks' eyes, burning with dark green flames, showed no emotion whatsoever; his pupils were filled with an emptiness as still as a deep well.

Faced with Kaido's attack, he simply raised his hand and swept out a sword.

Instead of using Haki, it amplified the power of Cero.

The Great Demon cannot use the power of Haki.

Even though he controls Rocks' body, his fighting style is still "hollow"!

'Boom!'

The collision intensified, and the roar was deafening.

The moment the weapons collided, a devastating shockwave swept across the area, causing the surrounding earth to collapse under the pressure.

"Die!"

Kaido's eyes were fierce.

He exerted force in an attempt to suppress Rocks.

However, Rocks' power at this moment was beyond imagination. Even without the aid of Haki, he was still stronger than Kaido!

"hateful……"

Kaido gritted his teeth and instantly changed his attack, whipping out his thick, long tail from the left and his right leg sweeping out from the right.

A pincer attack from both sides.

No room for Rocks to dodge!

"..."

Instead of dodging, Rocks raised his left hand.
