Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Seeing that the opponent's attack was heading towards Kuina, Rocks could not ignore it.

His feet disappeared from the spot, blocking the sonic impact.

'Boom!'

With a powerful punch, Koubang shattered Hanafuda's attack, but his movements were inevitably hampered...

"Can you escape?"

Rocks' eyes turned cold; he was determined not to let his opponent escape.

His internal energy was mobilized, enhancing his strength, and he pressed on with his feet...

'Swish, swish, swish...'

His figure flashed several times, each time covering hundreds of meters, gradually closing the distance to the flower cards...

Why is it so fast?

Upon noticing Rocks approaching, Hanafuda panicked completely, her fear and resentment growing ever stronger.

Is he going to die here?

Do not!

Absolutely not!

He can't die yet!

Kaido's plan needs him to carry it out, so he can't die now!

Fight!

"Roar!!"

The roar transformed into a shockwave that swept across the air, vibrating the atmosphere, and wave after wave of sound waves crashed towards Rocks like a tidal wave...

'Boom boom boom...'

Rocks swung his fist, the force of which pierced the air.

Crush all the sonic impacts and blast it apart!

'Sa! '

With another swing, Rocks caught up with Hanafuda in a single step.

With a mocking glint in his eyes, Lox laughed menacingly, "You can't escape. Die here!"

"One Bone Crushing Strike!!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

Hanafuda roared and howled, mobilizing all the power within his body.

Power, dominance, and willpower—all of it is poured into his fists!

He slammed down right in front of Rocks' fist!

'Boom!'

The two attacked fiercely, creating ripples in the air that spread outwards, and shockwaves exploded, sweeping in all directions...

'Click, click!'

The sound of bones cracking rang out, and Hanafuda felt an excruciating pain in her arms.

Muscles were torn apart, bones were broken into pieces...

Not only her two arms, Hanafuda felt as if the left half of her body had been shattered.

The person was transformed into a cannonball and flew backwards, eventually crashing into a spot and creating a crater in the ground.

Hanafuda's entire figure was embedded in the hole...

With a "whoosh," Hanafuda coughed up blood containing its internal organs.

His injuries were extremely severe; if he weren't a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, such injuries would have been enough to kill him completely...

What shocked Hanafuda even more was that the opponent was clearly stronger than before. Could it be that the opponent had not used their full strength?

"Cough cough... This feeling is..."

Hanafuda's injuries were severe, and he was utterly shocked.

But I felt a warm, comforting power surging within my body.

Under this force, he felt his injuries healing at an extremely rapid pace...

"Devil Fruit Awakening!?"

Hanafuda instantly made a judgment about the power surging within his body!

This is the awakening of the Devil Fruit!

It had to happen at this time...

'Waaaaah~'

Just then, the sound of a steam whistle reached Hanafuda's ears.

He turned his head and saw that it was the maritime train, which had a great reputation on the great sea routes...

At this moment, the train on the sea seemed to have just departed from the station...

"Hahaha, the sea train!"

Struggling to climb out of the pit, Hanafuda's chest heaved uncontrollably, but he couldn't hide his excitement: "Hahaha, I'm not meant to die!"

'Boom!'

Without a moment's delay, Hanafuda exerted force with both legs.

They raced toward the moving sea train.

By boarding the Shanghai train and blocking the opponent's subsequent attacks, he could escape from their clutches...

Chapter 135 It doesn't matter if your father or mother is Im... Alexander's Esbag!

"It can still move?"

A look of surprise flashed across Lox's eyes.

Although it's true that the opponent is a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, this guy is too resilient.

That punch just now didn't even incapacitate the opponent...

"But... you can't escape!"

A sinister smile crept across Lox's lips.

They also discovered the intention behind the flower cards: the other party wanted to leave via a sea train!

How could they possibly have gotten away?

Having targeted his Black Demon ship and deliberately provoked him, the other party has already committed suicide!

'Sa! '

With a slight step, Rocks chased after Hanafuda at an even faster speed.

The Seven Star Sword, tucked at his waist, was drawn, and he raised his hand to unleash a verdant slash.

Compared to the force of a punch, the speed of a slash is much faster; a powerful slash roars as it hurtles towards the flower cards!

"Slash..."

Hanafuda sensed the slashing attack coming rapidly from behind, and her face grew even more gloomy and panicked.

To use a sword at this time is truly astonishing.

The opponent is renowned throughout the world for his swordsmanship, and his swordsmanship is probably even stronger than his physical skills.

Clearly, the other party no longer wanted to "play" with him...

'Boom!!'

The shockwave formed by the roar and howl thundered and crashed forward, colliding with the slash in mid-air.

Ripples of air were created, and the shockwave spread outwards...

run!

The flower cards did not linger at all.

Although his injuries had healed, he still didn't think he was capable of fighting back.

The previous injury was too severe.

Time is not on his side.

The hanafuda (Japanese paper cups) raced along the rails laid on the seabed towards the sea train...

"If I let you get away, I'll lose face..."

Rocks was already faster than Hanafuda, and now he further amplified his power by channeling energy.

After a few quick movements, he was close to Hanafuda again.

Hanafuda was racing wildly, but its senses were constantly focused on Rocks's movements.

Upon seeing the enemy charging towards him, his face turned deathly pale...

"Ji Zhan!"

Emerald light swirled around the Seven Star Sword as Rocks swung it down.

A vibrant green light shone forth, transforming into an even sharper slash that struck the Hanafuda...

Get out of my way!

Huazha roared.

His aura intensified at this moment.

The warm current within his body became clearer, flowing to every part of his body, easing his injuries once again...

The thump-thump of a heartbeat was clearly audible, and then, a strange black, ribbon-like cloud of flames emerged from behind the flower card...

Animal awakening!

The broken bones in her arms don't heal quickly, so Hanafuda swings her long tail behind her.

Covered in Armor Haki and imbued with immense strength, it hurled itself towards the incoming slash.

The angle was tricky; it didn't collide head-on with the strike, but rather landed from the side...

'Boom! Sizzle!'

As the attacks collided, the thick tail of the Hanafuda struck the slash, unleashing a surge of flowing Haki.

It changed the trajectory of the slash, cutting diagonally down beside him, cleaving the sea and leaving a long trench in the surface...

And then... Hanafuda continued to escape!

We were now quite close to the sea train!

"Has the Devil Fruit awakened? No wonder it could withstand my punch just now."

Seeing the black flames swirling behind the Hanafuda cards, Rocks raised an eyebrow, slightly surprised.

The Devil Fruit awakens!

Did he break through under his pressure?

In the original story, the same thing happened to the Rubber Sun God. He was crippled by Kaido's blow, but he woke up full of energy again.

He could even go toe-to-toe with Kaido...

Although this guy's injuries weren't quite as severe, they had recovered considerably.

Animal-type Awakened Ones possess unique strengths in terms of resistance to attacks and recovery abilities...

"Then we can't let you go even more. Even if your Devil Fruit awakens, you'll still die..."

Because Rocks' ability allows him to steal Devil Fruits, all Devil Fruit users are considered "resources".
