Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me!

Crick then laughed maniacally and ordered: "Sink all the ships in the port! From this moment on, no one is to leave without my permission! Hahaha!"

"Yes, Lord Krieg!"

Gunners responded and aimed their cannons at all the ships anchored in the harbor...

This reckless behavior drew the ire of one person...

"I was enjoying the show, and you want to bombard my ship? Did you even ask my opinion?!"

Rocks found himself standing on the harbor's edge, looking at the Krieg Pirates, and spat out a helpless sigh.

They're having a good time.

It turned out that the Krieg Pirates wanted to bombard the docked ships.

Unfortunately, their ship was docked there...

"Extreme Slash!"

Lox originally didn't want to get involved; he just wanted to have some fun.

But they only have one ship, and on it are their savings and Nami's orange tree, so it cannot be destroyed.

Otherwise, Nami, that little loli, would cry for a long time...

What else can I do?

For Nami's sake, Rocks had no choice but to take action.

With his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword, Rocks lowered his body, assuming a drawing-slash stance.

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and a fierce, murderous aura, characteristic of a swordsman, surged from his body...

'Hiss...'

The sword makes a soft sound as it rubs against its sheath. This is a technique of sword drawing, which uses friction to increase resistance and releases the stored power at the moment of swinging the sword!

*Sizzle!*

Rocks swung his sword.

The moment the sword was drawn, it sliced ​​through the air with a piercing sound.

A vibrant green slash, infused with the power of a phantom bullet, pierced through the air, its slender blade cutting horizontally at incredible speed...

Chapter 46 Annihilation in a Single Sword Strike!

'laugh!'

Everyone heard a very faint sound.

Then they saw...

Several pirate ships that were already not far from the shore suddenly split in two from the middle, with smooth and clean cuts.

The next second, the pirate ship began to tilt as it swayed with the waves, and finally crashed into the seabed with a loud thud...

quiet!

Quiet!

Time seemed to have been paused at that moment, and everyone stared blankly at the scene unfolding before them.

What... happened?

Why did those pirate ships suddenly break in two?

The port was already in chaos, and many people didn't notice Rocks' arrival, nor did they see him make a move...

A flash of emerald green light appeared, and then this incredible scene unfolded!

"What...what's going on?"

"Why did those ships suddenly split in two!?"

"Could it be that someone has made a move?"

"Stop...stop joking..."

After a brief silence, the arena erupted in cheers.

A cacophony of voices rose from the mouths of stunned, bewildered people.

They still didn't know what had happened...

However, some sharp-eyed individuals spotted Rocks making his move.

This sight left them stunned, still not having recovered their senses...

"Flying Slash..."

Smoker, being a captain at Marine Headquarters, had more experience than many others and already knew what had just happened...

The person standing at the port, near the sea, used a flying slash to cut those pirate ships in half!

He was surprised and shocked precisely because he knew what this situation meant!

A person who can unleash a flying slash is undoubtedly a strong person, and a swordsman who can cut several ships in half with a single sword is extremely rare, even within the Marine Headquarters.

A strong person!

That person over there is definitely a strong one!

Not to mention the East China Sea, even in the Grand Line, they are definitely among the top contenders!

"Is there a swordsman hidden in the East Sea? And so young at that..."

Smoker murmured solemnly.

What's the story behind the East China Sea being the weakest sea in the world?

So many powerful individuals have appeared one after another...

A criminal who ate the Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit, Buggy the Clown with a bounty of 50 million Berries, and now a swordsman who can cut down several ships with a single sword strike has appeared...

Is this still the weakest sea in his memory?

"It was him..."

Ace recognized Rocks too, his expression a mixture of shock, surprise, and embarrassment...

This is the person he just encountered in that shady shop, the one he almost misunderstood, and whom he thought wasn't very strong...

I never expected him to have such strength?

I think I misjudged him.

Luckily, I didn't blurt out what was on my mind back then, otherwise it would be even more awkward now...

"What... what kind of attack was that? Was it also a Devil Fruit ability?"

Deus was also in shock, but more than that, he was curious.

Was that attack... also a Devil Fruit ability?

Ace had heard something about it from Garp, so he said, "I've heard that there are swordsmen on the high seas who can unleash flying slashes; that kind of attack must be a flying slash..."

Deus couldn't help but swallow hard, his voice hoarse: "Flying Slash? Do monsters like that still exist on the high seas?"

Is this ocean really that dangerous?

"You...you...what are you doing here too!?"

Pakistan's reaction was the strongest.

The moment he saw Rocks, his body began to tremble again, and sweat poured down his face.

How did this monster get here?

That female navy girl from before...

Could it be that they really became part of the navy?

Otherwise, it would be too much of a coincidence. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

"Why can't I be here? I'm a bounty hunter, after all. Loguetown is a pilgrimage site for pirates. Isn't it normal for me to come here and make some extra money?"

Rocks sheathed his sword and gave Bucky a dismissive glance.

"..."

That one look made Bucky instinctively back away.

The psychological trauma inflicted on him by Lox was simply too great.

Don't be fooled by his previous statements that he would definitely take revenge if he encountered Rocks.

But when he actually saw it, he didn't dare utter a single word.

Even if the other party pinned baseless accusations on him, or even if they did something even more outrageous, he wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of them...

no way.

He has something on him that the other party can use against him...

"Feint!"

Ignoring Buggy, Rocks' Observation Haki detected that many members of the Krieg Pirates were still alive, and Captain Krieg was not dead either...

Without a second thought, Rocks raised his hand and unleashed a basketball-sized projectile.

'Boom!'

Explosions erupted one after another, flames shot into the sky, and water splashed up to several meters high...

The Creek, who had come with great momentum, was blown to pieces before he even landed, and his blood stained a large area of ​​the sea...

"Hey, Captain over there."

Rocks turned to Smoker, cracked his knuckles with one hand, and laughed, "I remember the Krieg Pirates had a total bounty of over 20 million Berries. You saw me kill them now."

"You wouldn't embezzle this bounty, would you?"

Even a mosquito's leg is still meat, and more than 20 million peles isn't much of a mosquito's leg.

Since he was once again posing as a bounty hunter, and with the Navy present, he figured he might as well just take the bounty...
