Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

Rocks' Conqueror's Haki couldn't even make the Blackwing Demon Hollow lose its senses for a moment.

Seeing the powerful fist hurtling towards it, it simply threw a punch back.

A bright green orb of light appeared in front of the fist.

'Boom!'

The fist... no, it should be said that the fist collided with the feint.

The power of the void bullet explosion negated the force of Rocks' punch.

Then came the fists clashing!

The moment their fists collided, a deafening explosion erupted, and a shockwave radiated outwards from the center.

"You can't use my moves, but you did manage to use another kind of... [unintelligible]..."

With that punch, Rocks was forced back several steps.

After regaining his footing, Lox narrowed his eyes slightly: "Anti-ghost mutual killing?"

"I can use your abilities and techniques; but you cannot use mine."

"You can still fight me now, but once I develop my domineering aura and techniques to a higher level, you will have no choice but to submit to me and become my power!"

Rocks burst into laughter.

Use words to boost your confidence.

He raised his hand and threw another punch, the force of which shook the air and crushed forward!

"Roar!!"

The Blackwing Demon roared incessantly.

He threw the Moonlight Sword forward, and it pierced straight through Rocks' fist, continuing its momentum without diminishing!

'Clang!'

With a single strike of the Seven Star Sword, the Moonlight Sword was deflected.

Then, Rocks leaped forward, raised his Seven Star Sword, and unleashed a green slash forward.

Their bodies followed closely, closing the distance between them!

'Boom boom boom...'

A fierce battle unfolded between the human and the virtual in this special space.

Fists, swords, abilities—all sorts of attacks rained down on the opponent.

They were blocked and hit; the battle was extremely fierce.

In an instant, it entered a white-hot stage...

……

But outside the home...

Lockes maintained his previous posture.

At this moment, Lox, who was engaged in a fierce battle with the Blackwing Great Demon Void, was unaware that a green energy was emanating from his body.

This energy manifested as horns on Rocks' head, wings on his back, and a tail on his tailbone...

Furthermore, this emerald green energy color deepens over time.

It gradually turned into a dark green, and is now changing towards a deep green.

It looked increasingly solid, as if it were truly growing on Rocks' body.

Furthermore, under the influence of this energy, Rocks' body underwent some "mutation".

His skin turned pale, his hair grew longer, and his nails turned into sharp claws...

"What an eerie aura..."

Xiao, who couldn't see anything, could only sense the aura emanating from Rocks, which greatly surprised him: "It feels very similar to the Seven Star Sword, but... it's much more powerful..."

This aura is malevolent.

It bears some resemblance to the Demon Blade.

But it is many times stronger.

This filled him with fear and apprehension...

"What exactly happened to Rocks? Why does it feel like... he's turning into a demon..."

Kuina, however, looked at the changes in Lox with a very solemn expression: "This is... the Blackwing Demon?"

At this moment, Rocks' appearance did indeed seem to be transforming into a "demon".

This might be the outward manifestation of Rocks' Blackwing Demon Fruit, "Demon".

It gave her a terrifying feeling...

Kuina was even more nervous. What exactly would Rocks become?

Can he defeat the "Blackwing Demon"?

Kuina thought it best not to touch Rocks now, but she still asked the more experienced Issho, "Issho, what should we do now?"

"Lox wants us to subdue him when he goes berserk and loses his mind."

After thinking for a moment, he smiled and shook his head: "Rocks is probably 'fighting' the Blackwing Demon inside him right now."

"We'd better not do anything, or it might backfire..."

"Ah."

Upon hearing this answer, Kuina nodded: "That's the only way."

With a smile, he slowly said, "Let's wait and see. This is the first time I've seen such a situation; it's truly extraordinary..."

Kuina asked, "Is Rocks' Black Wing Demon Fruit really different from ordinary Zoan-type Devil Fruits?"

Yi Xiao said, "I have also encountered animal awakeners before, and they have indeed shown the demeanor of 'devil' in some aspects."

"However, his aura is quite different from that of Lox at this time..."

Before he destroyed his own eyes, he had fought against Zoan-type Awakened.

However, none of the animal-type awakened beings possessed an aura as sinister or powerful as Rocks's...

……

Within the realm of the mind and the space of consciousness.

'Boom boom boom...'

The battle between the human and the avatar continues.

And it became increasingly tragic.

Rocks was able to use Haki, and he also unleashed a series of martial arts and sword techniques.

Yet they still struggled to deal with the Blackwing Great Demon Void...

This guy is really difficult to deal with!

The Blackwing Great Demon Void doesn't have many attack methods; it's unclear whether some of them were not used or were simply unavailable.

In short, using techniques such as Cero, Cero, and Moonblade, he fought Rocks to a standstill...

They even seem to have the upper hand!

'Boom!!'

Rocks had already gone all out, holding nothing back.

After exchanging another blow with the Blackwing Great Demon Void, both retreated simultaneously...

"You're really hard to deal with, Great Demon!"

Rocks pulled the Moonblade from his shoulder.

There was no blood splattering...

This is not the outside world; this body is merely the "soul, spirit" manifested by Lox's consciousness.

However, due to his injuries, Rocks's form became somewhat transparent, like a semi-transparent ghost...

"If we're really going to talk about it, I should be considered your 'boss,' right?"

Lockes' chest heaved violently, his breathing heavy, and he gritted his teeth as he said, "Is it really okay for you to be so insubordinate?"

"Roar!"

After hearing what Locke said.

The Blackwing Great Demon Void, whose aura had weakened considerably, only let out a roar that Rocks could not understand.

They then launched another attack.

The "fierce glint and malice" in its eyes were so obvious that they could be seen with the naked eye.

The Blackwing Great Demon appeared determined to kill Rocks and devour his soul!

"What an unreasonable guy. I remember the 'nature' you represent is 'nothingness,' right?"

"Shouldn't one be without desires and indifferent to everything?"

"Why are you so fierce now!?"

Rocks gritted his teeth.

He charged towards the Black-Winged Demon, wielding the Seven-Star Sword.

'Boom boom boom...'

The great battle between the two sides has resumed...

'Boom!!'

They fought for an unknown amount of time.

Half of Rocks' body was torn apart and pierced through by a Cero. Fortunately, it wasn't his physical body, otherwise, blood would probably have been splattered all over the ground...

But it really hurts.

Getting injured here won't have any external impact on your body, but you will experience pain.

This is the pain of the soul.

It's even more torturous than physical injury!

"It's only polite to reciprocate. You've ruined my body, so don't expect anything in return!"

Rocks gritted his teeth.

The ferocious expression on his face became more pronounced, whether from pain or something else was unclear.

At this moment, Lox used his other hand to grab the right hand of the Blackwing Demon that was about to pounce.

Use super-fast regeneration to repair half of the body.

Before half of his body, including his right arm, had fully recovered, Locus threw a punch at the Blackwing Demon...

'Boom!!'

Under this punch.

The Blackwing Great Demon Void was blasted away from mid-air.

Its body transformed into a cannonball, crashing into what appeared to be ground below...

"Elbaf Spear - Mighty Kingdom!"

With a thought, Rocks condensed the Seven Star Sword once more.

He gripped the sword hilt with both hands and swung it fiercely at the Black Winged Great Demon Void below!

With a violent swing of his sword, a terrifying and powerful spiral shockwave shot downwards!

"Hoohoho!"

The Blackwing Great Demon Void showed no weakness.
