Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Unexpectedly, that Black Demon was actually the other side's ship...

What a coincidence!

……

horrible?

This is nothing!

It was just a warm-up!

Because she needed to familiarize herself with the external application of Armament Haki, she didn't unleash her full power from the very first move; simply put, she wasn't serious yet...

Although Hanafuda kept boasting, she didn't dare underestimate Rocks, a newcomer who was even more famous than "Fire Fist" Ace, and was currently probing Rocks' capabilities...

'Boom boom boom...'

The two exchanged punches and kicks, engaging in a fairly intense close-quarters battle.

A series of loud crashes rang out, making quite a commotion!

"Die! Tyrannosaurus Rex's Fist!"

"One bone!"

The two, one on the left and one on the right, unleashed even stronger attacks.

Two fists, each exuding a dark and domineering aura, collided fiercely with an even more intense momentum!

A loud 'boom' rang out.

The force and domineering aura released by their fists exploded instantly.

Forces clash with force, dominance clashes and collide with dominance.

The explosions in the arena had an even more terrifying power.

Immediately following, a surge of air, like a tidal wave, forced both of them to retreat...

"Warm-up done, time to get serious..."

Lox twisted his neck, making a popping sound as if his bones were cracking.

He beckoned towards the hanafuda (flower cards): "Don't tell me this is all you've done, or I'll be disappointed..."

'Boom! '

Rocks threw a punch, which slammed into the air.

The domineering energy flowed and surged, merging outwards into the fist's power, blending with the power of the void, giving birth to a fist force that ruthlessly pierced through the air.

'Boom boom boom...'

The fist plowed through the ground, carving out gullies, and fiercely charged towards the flower-patterned cardboard.

The "One Bone" technique, developed by secretly learning from Capo's Iron Fist, can unleash long-range punches.

With Rocks mastering the fluidity of Armor Color, he became even more adept at using that move.

"Tyrannosaurus Meteor Strike!"

He held the weapon, which was tucked behind his back, in his hand.

This is a special weapon, with an iron chain connecting a sickle and a meteor hammer.

With a swing of his wrist, the meteor hammer, studded with sharp spikes, slammed into the front.

A loud 'boom'.

The force of the incoming punch was shattered by this strike.

However, the Hanafuda was also forced back several steps by the powerful force...

"Big guy, you're quite strong, but speed seems to be your weakness..."

With a single step, Rocks bridged the distance between them and suddenly appeared beside Hanafuda.

Larger body size limits the ability to achieve speed.

Speed ​​is the opponent's weakness.

'Boom!'

Rocks swiftly threw a punch, its emerald light flashing, the force of the punch exploding through the body, striking Hanafuda.

A strange 'bang' rang out, and Hanafuda felt as if a giant hammer had struck her chest.

The defensive Armament Haki was broken.

The force of the punch penetrated his body, impacting his internal organs and causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood.

'Snap!'

The sound of the earth cracking could be heard.

Hanafuda's sturdy legs exerted force, like tree roots firmly planted in the ground, forcefully stopping the momentum of being knocked back...

"As a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, I should be fighting hand-to-hand. This kind of attack doesn't hurt me at all!"

Hanafuda took the punch from Rocks and was injured.

But he didn't care at all; instead, a ferocious look appeared on his face.

The hanafuda movement was swift, with the right hand forming a claw-like grab.

The claws, sharp as blades and covered in Armament Haki, were capable of cutting through steel and were intended to tear Rocks apart.

"Still too slow..."

A red light flashed in Lox's eyes as he caught the opponent's attack, and he raised his left hand to block.

The domineering left arm, as hard as steel, clanged against the metal with a resounding 'clang'...

"Was that punch not enough? How about this one?"

Rocks grinned wildly and swung his right arm to smash forward again.

Aside from not using energy to amplify himself, this was Rocks's full-force attack in his normal state.

At close range, a serious punch is definitely more effective.

The explosive penetrating force of the punch is even more powerful, and even those with strong physiques cannot temper their internal organs.

While domineering presence can certainly provide defense, it also has its limits!

The flowing Haki on the Hanafuda card protected the body's surface, while the internal organs were hardened with Haki, yet it still couldn't stop Rocks' unstoppable punch.

"cough……"

With this punch, Hanafuda coughed up blood and flew backward; the penetrating force of the punch caused impact and damage within his body...

'Boom!'

Hanafuda's body flew backward like a cannonball, leaving a trail before crashing into the crowd at Tyrant Dragon's Sea.

The unfortunate few were hit by the flower cards, their bones shattered all over their bodies, and they died a gruesome death.

The shockwave from Hanafuda's body hitting the ground caused many people to cough up blood, tumbling and rolling in a heap...

……

The people at the port were astonished to see the hanafuda so easily knocked away.

"The black-haired swordsman is so terrifying, even though he looks like just a teenager..."

"My eyes can't keep up at all, it's too fast!"

"Crocodile died at the hands of the black-haired swordsman, could it be that this Hanafuda will also die?"

"If even 'Tyrant Dragon' Hanafuda is killed, then the black-haired swordsman will be too terrifying..."

Many people couldn't see the fight between the two, but they could see the Hanafuda being blasted away.

Without a doubt, the black-haired swordsman's strength surpasses that of Hanafuda.

One is a monster over six meters tall, and the other looks no different from an ordinary person.

But this is how the battle turned out.

This left many unsophisticated people puzzled and astonished...

in the corner.

Kalifa, one of the CP9 members, pushed up her glasses, her shock no less than the others: "Is this the strength of 'Black-Haired Swordsman' Rocks?"

"It's so terrifying..."

Even she, a "superwoman" who had mastered all six styles, was having trouble keeping up with the two men's movements.

If I were to face these two people...

She estimated she would be instantly killed...

"What should we do now?"

Kalifa looked at Rob Lucci, who was standing silently beside her with a slightly serious expression: "The 'Dragon' Hanafuda is clearly no match for the 'Black-haired Swordsman' Rocks."

"After all, the other party is a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."

"Wait!"

Lucci leaned against the wall and said calmly, "If there's a chance, we can try to get rid of the black-haired swordsman."

"This threat should not remain on the sea."

"Should we make a move?"

Kalifa hesitated, "But what if this affects our mission...?"

"So we have to wait for an opportunity. If we do it well, we won't be exposed."

Lucci's tone remained calm: "We don't need to worry about the lives of the others, as long as we make sure Espagu lives."

They are secret agents, and secret agents are good at waiting for the right opportunity to act.

It's not difficult to take action without revealing yourself; there are plenty of ways.

However, this requires the right timing, a timing that ensures the successful elimination of the black-haired swordsman...

The CP organization will also eliminate anyone who poses a threat to the World Government during missions.

This is simply their job!

……

"Is that all the strength you have?"

Rocks did not continue.

Instead, he shook his head and said, "No wonder you were defeated by 'Fire Fist' Ace. Your strength is not commensurate with what you just said."

He didn't even go all out, and his opponent couldn't withstand it.

His strength would be monstrous in the eyes of ordinary people, but in Rocks' eyes, it was just average.

If that's all the opponent has, then the threat to Rocks is even less than that of Crocodile.

It's not that Hanafuda is weaker than Crocodile.

In terms of Armament Haki and resistance to blows, Hanafuda is stronger than Crocodile.

However, it is far inferior to Crocodile in terms of attack and speed.

The two have different areas of expertise.

However, to be honest, Rocks is more effective against Hanafuda...

"Get out of here!"

Hanafuda violently smashed one of his men into the air. As he got up, his face grew even more ferocious.

His anger was almost driving him mad.

As an animal-type ability user, Hanafuda possesses extremely strong recovery, endurance, and resistance to impact.

Of course, they won't be defeated so easily...

He felt frustrated and angry because he was frequently hit while his opponent seemed to be able to handle the attacks with ease.
