Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

"All you did was cough up blood? Looks like you're quite suited to be a punching bag."

Lox couldn't stand the other party being too pretentious.

So I gave it to the other person.

Because it was an instantaneous attack, there was no time to draw the sword or use any domineering aura.

It was merely a whip kick relying on his own physical strength.

However, it's not an attack that an ordinary person could withstand; this guy is quite tough.

The other person would be a good punching bag.

This allows him to practice the techniques he just learned for projecting Armament Haki...

"Boss, boss... this person... I know this person..."

One of the members of Tyrant Dragon's F swallowed hard.

The voice was dry as he spoke to his captain, "It's the 'Black-Haired Swordsman' Rocks, with a bounty of 450 million Berries..."

"The Black-Haired Swordsman Rocks? Who!? When did this guy appear on the high seas? Wait, Rocks!?"

It's unclear whether Hanafuda's head was still dazed from being kicked, or if he simply didn't know who "Black-haired Swordsman" was.

He looked puzzled when his younger brother reminded him.

However, he vaguely remembered the name Rocks. Wasn't he the captain of Kaido's former crew, the name of that sea tyrant?

"Wait, 'Black-haired Swordsman' Rocks...it's you after all?"

"The newcomer who took down that crocodile and fought to a draw with that old guy Black Arm!?"

Indeed, that kick left Hanafuda somewhat dazed.

After a brief pause, he remembered the name "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks.

Hanafuda stared at Lockes, her eyes turning incredibly fierce: "Newcomers? I hate newcomers like you the most!"

He hadn't even found the brat who used fire to get revenge when he unexpectedly encountered another newcomer here?

And they are newcomers with an even greater reputation!

Chapter 131 Dragon-Dragon Fruit Ancient Zoan Tyrannosaurus Rex Form! Rocks: Is that all the strength you have?

"It seems that being defeated by 'Fire Fist' Ace is something you're still resentful about..."

Seeing Hanafuda's furious expression.

Lockes laughed instead: "Times are changing. It's time for you unambitious people to be eliminated. Now is the era of new people."

"Elimination? Hahaha, you newcomers are all so arrogant!"

Hanafuda sneered, but the anger and murderous intent in her eyes were so obvious: "That guy is, and you are even more so!"

"If I hadn't been careless, how could I have been defeated by a brat who only knows how to use fire?"

Hanafuda couldn't accept that he couldn't defeat "Fire Fist" Ace.

Even though I was indeed a bit careless at the time, I didn't expect that the fire-wielding guy could unleash such power...

But he still couldn't accept it!

And this black-haired swordsman is even more arrogant than that Fire Fist...

“Your reputation is greater than that of the one who used fire.”

Hanafuda's gaze was fixed intently on Lox.

A sinister smile spread across his face: "These days, many people on the high seas think I shouldn't continue to be one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. These rumors are really infuriating!"

"Since we haven't found the one who uses fire, I'll use you to help me regain my authority!"

"Roar!!"

A tremendous roar, shaking the harbor, emanated from the mouth of the Hanafuda.

The roar caused many people to cover their ears and show signs of pain.

Then Hanafuda's shape began to change.

His already massive size became even larger, and his skin turned dark brown, resembling a special kind of leather.

Its eyes transformed into the vertical pupils of a predator, appearing grayish-brown.

It opens its mouth to reveal a mouthful of sharp fangs, and its ten fingers grow sharp claws that seem capable of easily tearing apart steel.

A thick tail swung from behind, each swing whipping the air and making a 'slap slap' sound...

Animal type, Dragon Fruit, Ancient species, Tyrannosaurus Rex form!

"Tyrannosaurus Rex...so it's an ancient species of Tyrannosaurus Rex?"

Looking at the Hanafuda card that had transformed into a half-dragon, Rocks raised an eyebrow: "Looks like you'll be a better punching bag..."

"Hmph, you can only be so composed now. Once you witness my true strength, you'll only feel fear..."

Hanafuda's eyes flashed with ferocity: "I'm not a piece of trash like Crocodile!"

"You killed a spineless crocodile killer and beat up a veteran admiral, but that doesn't give you the right to act arrogantly in front of me, kid!"

In the battle with that fire-wielding brat, he was careless and didn't take a newcomer seriously.

It was also because the opponent's abilities somewhat countered his; the Logia-type Mera Mera no Mi (Flame-Flame Fruit) was no joke...

certainly.

The guy who used fire didn't fare well either; the battle ended in a draw.

As a result... the newspapers said he had lost!

He had been holding this grudge in his heart, wanting to find "Fire Fist" Ace and get revenge.

It was only because his domineering Dragon God was damaged, and the other party's whereabouts were unpredictable, that he was not found...

"It's laughable for a loser to say something like that."

Locus scoffed, "Trying to establish your authority over me? Let me show you what you've got."

"I'd like to see if you, this punching bag, can take a beating..."

'Sa! '

Rocks moved.

He traversed the short distance as if by teleportation, and with a raised hand, unleashed a powerful punch: "One Bone!"

"Arrogant brat!"

Hanafuda snorted coldly, a red glint flashing in his eyes.

Catching Rocks's movement, he raised his fist, which was many times larger than Rocks's fist, and slammed it forward!

'Boom!'

Two fists, one large and one small, covered in dark, imposing armor, clashed violently together.

A powerful burst of lightning erupted from the point where their fists collided.

A shockwave emanated from the two of them, sending surrounding debris and rubble flying...

'Snap!'

The earth cracked and caved in as the two struggled, with fissures spreading outwards!

"Not bad strength, but it's still too weak compared to me!"

A tremendous force surged through her arm, but Hanafuda, now in her half-beast form and resembling a half-dragon, was able to withstand it.

A cold light flashed in his eyes.

With his other arm raised, he slammed his fist forward, the massive fist squeezing out air with a deafening roar, its force immense and heavy!

"Just a warm-up."

Rocks responded with color.

The muscles in his left arm bulged, and a vibrant green light danced on his fist, while faint ripples of air seemed to emanate from it...

'Boom!!'

This collision was even more intense, and the explosion was deafening when they hit each other.

An even more ferocious shockwave swept in all directions, making the surroundings seem like a hurricane...

With a loud 'bang,' the two of them stumbled backward.

Locks retreated four or five meters, and Hanafuda retreated more than ten meters.

In this clash, Rocks had a slight advantage!

"It's clearly not internal damage-causing Haki, yet it can penetrate my outer defenses. Your fists are really strange!"

Hanafuda flicked his left arm.

The penetrating force of the punch just now made his arm bones and muscles feel a stinging pain.

However, the impact is not significant.

His eyes were coldly fixed on Lox: "But are you looking down on me? You're not even using a sword when facing me!?"

His opponent was renowned throughout the world as a swordsman, but now he was fighting him with his fists.

Isn't this looking down on him?

“If you’re using a sword, I won’t call you a punching bag anymore, I’ll call you a stake.”

Rocks shrugged: "I just recently mastered the external application of Armament Haki, so I'll have to get familiar with this punching bag."

"Real-world experience is the best teacher."

"You bastard, who do you think you are, kid!"

Upon hearing this, Hanafuda became even more furious, her eyes burning with rage.

I don't know how long it has been since I was looked down upon like this.

This guy is definitely more infuriating than the one who uses fire!

'Boom!'

Hanafuda took a step forward, his figure charging like a tank, each stomp causing the ground to shake.

"Look down on me? Not at all, I'm quite good with my fists too..."

Rocks took the same step.

Compared to Hanafuda's fierce dragon-like collisions, his movements appeared more agile and faster.

'Boom!!'

One on the left, one on the right, the two charged at each other.

They collided violently under the watchful eyes of the onlookers.

A shockwave rippled outwards from the point of impact, forcing many people to retreat.

The people of Water Seven Island stared blankly at the scene, frantically swallowing their saliva.

How could a battle between just two people cause such a violent commotion?

"I never imagined that the owner of the Black Demon would be that 'most ferocious rookie.' No wonder he doesn't care about 'Tyrant Dragon' Hanafuda, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"After all, they killed one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea before!"

"But this kind of battle... are these two people really human?"

"too frightening!"

Are battles between the strongest warriors on the high seas really this terrifying?

It's even more terrifying than artillery bombardment.

Of course, some people were also shocked by Lox's identity.

The name "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks is now widely known on the seas.
