Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

The surrounding earth was plowed flat and dented by this shockwave, and the dents grew larger and larger as the shockwave spread...

'Boom boom boom...'

The attacks collided and countered each other, creating air ripples that moved gently like waves.

The sea outside the harbor was constantly rising and falling, with waves continuously crashing against it...

The onlookers stared in disbelief, the shockwave forcing them to retreat further and further...

Seeing the horrific scene caused by the collision, a thought involuntarily arose in my mind—was this an attempt to destroy the port?

'Boom!'

Another loud explosion rang out, not as intense as the first one, like the final clash of power.

The attack's power was neutralized by the collision and impact, and finally exploded completely.

The chaotic shockwaves raged in all directions, triggering explosion after explosion, dense and continuous, like a cacophony of firecrackers...

Under this shockwave, Lucci and Hanafuda were also affected, swept by the shockwave, and both coughed up blood and flew backward.

Although the two of them managed to block Rocks' punch, they still didn't fare any better, and their injuries worsened again...

"Cough cough..."

Hanafuda was stronger, and he suffered less damage than Lucci.

However, he was unable to maintain his ability any longer, and coughed up a mouthful of blood...

His eyes revealed fear and panic.

The black-haired swordsman is too strong; even when he teamed up with CP9, they were still no match for him.

Keep fighting...

He might really be going to die here!

'No, I can't die here!'

Hanafuda fists clenched tightly, filled with anger and resentment.

In his last fight against "Fire Fist" Ace, he could say that he was careless.

In this battle against "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks, he not only did not take it lightly, but also joined forces with others.

But they still couldn't do anything to the other side...

This monster was beyond his ability to deal with; in fact, he saw the shadow of that man in Rocks…

The shadow of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors!

"Cough cough..."

Lucci was also forced back into human form from his half-beast form, coughing up blood repeatedly, his chest heaving, his body covered in wounds: "How could this monster be a newbie!?"

As the strongest member of CP9 in hundreds of years, he felt a chill at this moment.

This guy was the most terrifying person he had ever met in his life, and he was just a newbie...

He couldn't quite understand it!

'Escape? No, they're faster than us, and there's another guy whose abilities are too strange. There's no way we can escape from them...'

Bruno also failed; without his abilities, there was no way to leave Water Seven Island…

Lucci gritted his teeth, his face so serious it could drip water...

He realized he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

Not only "Black-haired Swordsman" Rocks, but also that smile.

One of them is faster than him, and the other has some kind of strange ability.

At this moment, Lucci felt a sense of despair...

"If we don't eliminate them, we'll all be doomed."

Hanafuda suppressed her fear and said to Lucci in a deep voice, "I don't want to die, and neither do you. Now we have no choice but to fight them to the death!"

Lu Qi, forcing himself to stay upright, gritted his teeth and said, "I know better than you!"

Hanafuda said coldly, "Find an opportunity to repel the black-haired swordsman, then capture his companion. He will naturally be hesitant to act rashly. This is our last chance!"

As he said this, he looked in Kuina's direction...

"it is good!"

Lu Qi squinted and glanced at the other person.

The other party is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, and in a sense, he is under the same World Government.

Now that we've reached a dead end, we have no choice but to trust the other party.

His opponent was stronger than him; without them, he would have already been defeated by the black-haired swordsman...

"Make your move!"

Hanafuda let out a low shout.

Ignoring his injuries, he forcibly used his abilities and transformed into a half-orc form once again.

He strode forward and charged toward Rocks!

"Armored Feet - Armored Bird!"

Lucci also gritted his teeth and activated his power.

The leopard-man swung his right leg horizontally, unleashing a sharp and deadly wind blade that charged forward.

A piercing sound cut through the air!

"Oh? You dare to launch an attack now? Zoan-type Devil Fruit users are indeed tough!"

Rocks smirked.

He launched a feint to block Lucci's Arashi Kick, then followed up with a low kick to meet the Hanafuda attack...

'Boom!'

The collision produced a deafening explosion, and the injured and weakened Hanafuda was knocked back by a single punch from Rocks.

He gritted his teeth and used his right leg to stop his retreat.

Then, taking a step forward, its claws, covered in dark Armor Haki, tore towards Rocks!

'Snapped! '

The claws that had been grabbed were caught by Rocks, who then used his left hand to pull the Hanafuda off balance.

A flash of emerald light appeared on his right fist, and ripples appeared in the air!

A serious punch!

'Boom!'

The force of the fist penetrated into the body of the flower card.

The impact on his internal organs caused him to cough up blood again, which splattered across Rocks' face...

"Humph!"

Lox frowned, not wanting to have his face splattered with blood.

Trying to dodge away, he found his left hand was grabbed by the Hanafuda, preventing him from using the Sora no Toki technique to evade...

'Boom!'

The lit-up phantom exploded nearby, the resulting shockwave sending waves of blood flying in their faces.

"How could they resort to such disgusting methods?"

Rocks snorted coldly.

He delivered a powerful punch to Hanafuda's chest, causing him to cough up blood once again.

However, she didn't fly backward. Her right hand gripped Rocks' left hand tightly, using it to stop her backward momentum...

"Die!!"

Hanafuda roared furiously and swung his left fist at Rocks!

"Six Styles Ultimate Technique: Six Kings Spear!"

Taking advantage of that instant, Lucci also flashed to this side, his fists overlapping and exploding with a shockwave from a distance!

"A final struggle? Nothing more than that!"

Rocks sneered and punched Hanafuda's fist.

The moment after the collision, Lockes was slightly taken aback; the opponent's punch was just a powerless, showy display.

If there's anything to it, it's just the overwhelming and outward-radiating Armament Haki...

Armament Haki for external defense?

'Boom!'

The explosion from the collision reverberated in the middle, and Hanafuda's body was sent flying backward at an extremely fast speed by Rocks's punch.

He was knocked away by Rocks, but it was also Hanafuda's doing.

Hanafuda used Armament Haki to defend herself, using Rocks' punch as a propulsion force to send herself flying backward at an extremely high speed...

He didn't really want to fight Rocks to the bitter end.

Instead, he used this opportunity to escape and flee. Whether it was planned or a coincidence, the place where he flew backwards... happened to be Shipyard No. 3.

That's where his warship, the "Overlord Dragon God," is located...

'Boom!'

It happened in the instant the flower cards flew backwards.

Lucci's attack followed immediately, striking Rocks from a distance.

The attack didn't actually hit Rocks; it was blocked by Rocks's externally released Armament Haki, only causing Rocks to retreat more than ten steps...

"Tyrannosaurus, you damned bastard!"

Seeing that his full-force attack had only forced Rocks back a few steps, Lucci felt a sense of despair, and what was even more despairing was...

The "Tyrannosaurus Rex" hanafuda card game has run away!!

"Smile, and hold this guy down..."

Rocks grinned and spoke, ignoring Lucci, and quickly chased after Hanafuda...

"Damn it..."

Hanafuda noticed that Rocks was chasing him, and his face darkened.

That guy is so fast...

However, there was a reason why he withstood two punches from Rocks.

This was to lower Rocks' guard, and the direction he flew backwards would happen to pass by Kuina's position...

Hanafuda opened its mouth and let out a huge roar: "Roar!!"

The sound waves rippled outwards, transforming into a powerful sonic impact.

They charged towards Kuina, hoping to hinder Rocks' pursuit.

He didn't believe the other party would disregard the life and death of their companion.

This was a strike he had put all his strength into, and the female swordsman alone could not withstand it.

Even if they manage to withstand it, they will definitely be seriously injured!

Hanafuda is a gamble; if he wins, he has a chance to escape; if he loses, he dies.

This was his last resort!

“This guy…”

Rocks frowned.

The other party had clearly planned everything meticulously and was already prepared to escape...
