Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

He held the slightly crimson demon sword, Muramasa Sandai, pointing it directly at Rocks: "Since you're courting death, then I'll grant your wish!"

The moment the voice faded, he charged toward Lox.

After all, the black-haired swordsman was also a wanted criminal with only tens of millions less bounty than him, so he naturally wouldn't be careless and would test the waters first...

"You haven't said how much your bounty is yet, never mind..."

Rocks smirked as he looked at the approaching attacker and said slowly, "Although I don't know how much your bounty is, you're too impatient. Are you affected by that demonic sword in your hand?"

“If that’s the case, then I think you probably can’t use this Seven Star Sword…”

A sharp, murderous glint flashed in Lox's eyes as he met the opponent's attack with a single, slashing strike!

'Clang!'

The next second, the sound of metal clashing rang out as two jet-black swords collided, instantly sparking a shower of sparks.

The two swords clashed, their powerful auras clashing, their strength resisting each other!

Centered on the two individuals, the earth cracked open at that moment, and the resulting debris, carried by the shockwave, shot out like bullets...

The impact was more intense and powerful than the collision with Soren, after all, this collision was imbued with domineering aura, and its destructive power was even more astonishing!

Having blocked the force of the sword strike, Rocks grinned coldly: "Has anyone ever told you? You're actually quite weak!"

The opponent was stronger than the previous Soren, but that was all; in his eyes, he was still very weak...

Chapter 118 One punch to kill and subdue the Seven Star Sword!

'Boom!'

After saying that, Rocks had a thought, and the power of the phantom burst forth instantly, exploding from the center of the clash of swords.

The burst of power deflected Aaronda's cursed sword, Muramasa Sandai, and forced him to retreat several steps...

'Boom!'

Without waiting for the other party to make the next move.

Rocks' eyes narrowed, and a demonic aura of Conqueror's Haki emanated from his body, pressing forward.

The powerful Conqueror's Haki struck Aaronda's mind at close range, causing him to momentarily lose his focus and revealing a weakness...

"A serious punch!"

At that very moment, Rocks stepped forward.

He had already gathered his domineering aura in his left arm and unleashed a punch that slammed into Aaronda's chest.

The jet-black fist was illuminated with a phantom light, exuding an aura of dominance, and faint ripples of air danced around the fist.

I don't care what kind of "demon sword" Aaronda you are.

Since you dare to attack him, then face his attack head-on.

Rocks never holds back against his enemies; this was a punch delivered with almost all his might!

"you……"

In that instant, Aaronda's expression changed drastically as he sensed the approaching threat of death.

It terrified him, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints...

This guy is terrifying.

The moment she repelled him, she unleashed her Conqueror's Haki, catching him off guard and causing him to momentarily lose focus, thus revealing a weakness...

The other party was too decisive.

The attack followed immediately, and it was an attack of this caliber right from the start.

He had no way to dodge and could only watch helplessly as the fist got closer and closer.

All you can do is instantly activate your Armament Haki for defense.

They attempted to withstand Rocks' attack.

At that moment, a thought inexplicably welled up in his mind—why was the opponent using his fists? Wasn't the opponent famous as a swordsman?

No one would explain the reason to him, and there wasn't enough time...

'Boom!!'

As Rocks' fist landed, a deafening roar resounded.

Even more powerful air ripples swayed continuously, the ethereal emerald light grew increasingly dazzling, and this time the Armament Haki flow was successfully released...

Faced with such a powerful attack, Zephyr had to be careful and dared not use his body to resist lightly.

And for Aaronda, whose flaws had been exposed, the outcome was perhaps already predetermined...

'Snap!'

Amidst the terrifying roar, the sound of bones shattering was also clearly audible.

Aaronda's hastily activated Haki defense was unable to withstand this terrifying punch and was defeated.

Although much of the force of the punch was neutralized, Aaronda still felt as if he had been struck hard in the chest with a giant hammer, and his body stiffened as if struck by lightning.

Immediately afterwards, a penetrating fist force surged into his body, causing damage within him.

The internal organs all looked like they had been broken apart.

With a "whoosh," Aaronda coughed up a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.

Then, a burst of violent power erupted, sending his body flying backward like a cannonball.

With a series of loud crashes, it smashed through many towering trees in that direction, finally slamming heavily onto a distant mountain peak.

It smashed a dent into the mountainside, and its body became embedded in the dent.

The impact also caused the mountain to tremble slightly, and chunks of rock rolled down from the summit...

……

Silent.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

Everyone stared blankly at the scene that had just unfolded before their eyes, wondering if they were hallucinating...

Those who recognized "Demon Blade" Aaronda gasped wildly: "That's... the 'Demon Blade' Aaronda with a bounty of 510 million Berries, right? How could he... be sent flying so easily?"

He couldn't really see things clearly because things happened so fast.

The scene was already quite chaotic, and he was so focused on retreating that he didn't look until the commotion started.

I saw "Demon Blade" Aaronda charge towards someone, and then the next second he was sent flying backward at an even faster speed...

A powerful figure with a bounty of 500 million Berries was no match for that person!?

Someone recognized Rocks' identity, and their tone became extremely shocked: "The Black-Haired Swordsman! That person is the Black-Haired Swordsman! He actually came too, and his first move was such an exaggerated scene!"

The other person took a deep breath: "Two big shots have arrived all at once, and one of them even blasted the other away..."

"The bounty for the 'Demon Blade' is higher than that for the 'Black-Haired Swordsman,' right? How could this be..."

"A person's strength bounty is only a reference. The black-haired swordsman is a strongman who can fight against former Admiral Zephyr. There must be something wrong with the 450 million Berry bounty. He is definitely worth more than that!"

"The reason why the Demon Blade's bounty exceeded 500 million is because he slaughtered several towns and ultimately destroyed a branch base. Although he was very strong, it was mainly because the things he did were too heinous..."

"But this is too outrageous. Does this mean Arunda has been defeated just like that?"

A murmur of discussion arose in the room, with many expressing astonishment and shock at the scene before them…

The sudden appearance of two important figures with such high bounties is naturally enough to shake many people.

Not to mention, the two even got into a fight, and one of them easily blasted the other flying...

This had quite a visual impact on them!

They all looked at Lockes with awe and fear.

Many people previously felt that the events described in the newspapers were somewhat exaggerated.

How could a newcomer, fresh out of school, possibly fight a seasoned general without being at a disadvantage?

It should be that "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks managed to escape from Zephyr's clutches through some means.

As a result, the World Economic News reported the incident in an "exaggerated" manner.

The World Economic News also has its share of exaggerated reports.

It's all for the sake of newspaper sales.

Having witnessed this scene, no one present would doubt the authenticity of the newspaper anymore...

"Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks is indeed a terrifyingly strong warrior capable of fighting against former Admiral "Black Arm" Zephyr!

The 450 million Berry bounty was undoubtedly a huge blunder!

……

"I don't know if it's just bad luck or something else!"

Ignoring the surrounding chatter, Locke looked at Aaronda, who was embedded in the mountainside.

He smirked, "This time, the aura of dominance that was unleashed externally actually worked. You didn't lose unjustly..."

This guy is so arrogant and rude.

He actually managed to unleash a punch using his dark, domineering aura.

This made his punch even more powerful.

If you take his punch head-on, he'll be seriously injured, if not killed.

If the opponent had a health bar, this punch would probably leave them with very little health...

Anyway, Rocks didn't think the other side had the strength to fight again.

One punch and he's dead!

Rocks shook his head: "This is what happens when you're not careful enough. Hmm, it's also because you're really too weak. If you were stronger, this punch wouldn't have defeated you..."

The opponent is actually quite capable, a bit stronger than that Major General from Loguetown.

She was just too careless and cautious; when facing him, she didn't go all out but instead chose to make a tentative move.

This is actually perfectly understandable.

But if you're going to test him, at least consider how to respond to his attack, right?

No, it didn't!

That Rocks isn't going to play around with you; if you don't go all out, he will.

You force the other party to reveal a weakness, and then... that's it...

Swordsmen focus on swordsmanship, and their physical strength is far inferior to that of those who regularly train their bodies.

Their resistance to blows is naturally relatively poor; most swordsmen are high in attack and low in defense.

How could the opponent possibly withstand Rocks's near-all-out attack?

If the opponent doesn't lose, who will?

"No matter who you meet in your next life, it's best not to underestimate them or be careless. Be even more careful and cautious when testing them..."

Rocks raised his sword, slashing through the air to end his opponent's life, and then paid no further attention.

Then he walked up to the Seven Star Sword again, bent down, and scooped it up in his hand...

……

"..."

As Rocks made this move, everyone in the arena held their breath for a moment.

The previously noisy sounds suddenly stopped, as if they dared not disturb Lox's actions.

He also stared intently at Rocks, who was holding the Seven Star Sword, without looking away.

Many people began to speculate.

Can a powerful swordsman of the black hair's caliber subdue this demonic sword known as the "Seven Star Sword"?
