Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

'Boom!'

Lightsabers do not have a "physical form," but Armament Haki can "hit" them, and a booming sound reverberates when swords collide.

The clash and confrontation of Armament Haki at the external level unleashed a terrifying force.

With nowhere to grab hold in mid-air, the collision caused both of them to be thrown back by the force of each other...

"What terrifying strength!"

By stepping on air to dissipate the force on his body, Kizaru stabilized his stance.

His ability allows him to fly briefly, his gaze fixed straight ahead: "So you really are a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user, aren't you? Black-haired swordsman..."

"you guess!"

Lockes remained silent.

Having gained a slight advantage in the initial clash, he moved closer to Kizaru, raised his Seven Star Sword, and slashed down again: "Extreme Slash!"

'laugh!'

The sword strike missed its mark.

Kizaru's body turned into light particles and disappeared.

When it reappeared, it was right above Rocks' head.

Kizaru crossed his arms, striking a pose with a blinding golden light shining between his hands: "Yasakani no Magatama!!"

'Whoosh whoosh whoosh!'

One after another, light bullets burst forth from Kizaru's hand, covering a large area like a rain of bullets, leaving no one able to avoid them.

"Phantom Flash!"

Even with Rocks's Observation Haki fully deployed, he couldn't accurately track the trajectories of all the light projectiles.

If you don't want to dodge unnecessarily, just defeat it!

Rocks raised his left hand and aimed it at Kizaru high in the sky.

A deep emerald green light shone from his fingertips, somewhat resembling the way Kizaru used his abilities...

'Phew! Boom boom boom…'

A streak of emerald green light, traversing the world, shot into the sky, destroying everything in its path.

One after another, the light bullets exploded under the bombardment of the phantom.

Using the feint, its momentum didn't diminish; it moved diagonally upwards until it disappeared completely...

"Speed ​​is power. Have you ever been kicked by the light?"

A voice rang in his ears, and Kizaru appeared beside Rocks without him noticing.

The raised right foot shone with golden light, containing both light and heat.

Kizaru's kick flew with incredible speed toward Rocks' waist.

Speed ​​is power.

Kizaru's strength may be inferior to Rocks', but his extreme speed gives his attacks unparalleled power!

If that kick lands, even a mountain would be sent flying!

'You have to be able to hit the target...'

These words came to mind.

He couldn't say it because Kizaru's movements were too fast; he might get kicked as soon as he uttered the first word.

However, that doesn't mean that Rocks didn't react.

Rocks, having already detected Kizaru's attack with his Observation Haki, raised his right leg and kicked out in return.

It collided with Kizaru's attack.

A loud 'boom'.

Rocks steadily parried Kizaru's attack; the clash of their powers exploded, creating a shockwave that swept outwards...

"Zeff is right, your physique isn't up to par, Kizaru!"

After blocking Kizaru's attack, Rocks' lips curled into a smile.

He raised the Seven Star Sword and slashed down, the speed so fast that only a flash of light could be seen...

'Boom!'

Kizaru was quick.

The lightsaber, which had condensed again, rose from below and collided with Rocks's weapon once more!

"..."

An immense, monstrous force pressed down from above, and Kizaru felt his sword-wielding arm tremble slightly, a sore and aching sensation spreading through him...

He thought to himself, "This guy is a monster."

What's going on with this strange strength?

and……

Why did Zefa tell this guy that he wasn't physically strong?

Is there really such a big prejudice against him?

'Hiss hiss hiss...'

In the stalemate, the domineering auras emanating from the Seven Star Sword and the Lightsaber clashed, producing sounds of annihilation...

"A serious punch!"

Rocks threw a punch.

Kizaru retaliated with a punch!

'Boom!!'

Two fists covered in Armament Haki collided with a loud bang.

Then a golden light shot rapidly backward...

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

Rocks leaped through the air, looked at Kizaru who had reformed his body, and grinned, "Don't tell me that's all you've got."

"Otherwise I'll feel really bored..."

Lox licked his lips.

The body's energy and the power of the Great Demon's origin were mobilized.

A dark green energy seeped from within him, covering Lox's body...

Ultimately, it forms a slowly swaying, flame-shaped energy cloak.

This state was called "virtualization" by Locus.

He mobilized the power of the Blackwing Great Demon Void to enhance his strength in a short period of time.

This is a further denigration of energy, and of the fundamental power of the Great Demon.

To explain the principle...

Similar to a Jinchūriki using the power of a Tailed Beast.

However, Rocks used the power of the Blackwing Hollow.

After defeating the Great Demon and obtaining more of its primal power.

After some attempts, Rocks naturally mastered this ability.

Of course, this is not the limit for Lox.

In Lox's vision.

"Virtualization" is divided into different stages.

If we consider the previous steps as the first stage, then that was the first phase.

It is also the most basic form of mockery.

The current state, with its dark green energy cloak surrounding the body, is the second stage.

The third stage involves Kuina and Ikko seeing the dark green energy forming horns, wings, and a tail, and their bodies undergoing a slight "mutation".

The fourth stage.

Lox believed it to be an "awakened" state, where he had completely subdued the Great Demon and gained full control over its power.

That is... the Blackwing Great Demon Void's Return Blade state!

certainly.

This is just a temporary idea.

After all, ideas are just ideas.

It may not develop according to his plan.

Rocks himself was unsure of what he was capable of.

One more thing to remember: the Blackwing Void... or rather, Ulquiorra, still has a second form of Resurrection!

How do I calculate this?

Second stage awakening?

It seems that such a statement does not exist?

In short, we can put it into practice slowly later...

Boom! Boom! Boom!

With Rocks entering the second stage of "Hollowfication", his strength has increased significantly.

A powerful, demonic, and tyrannical aura of Conqueror's Haki erupted from him.

This overwhelming aura stirred up the surrounding air into chaos.

Even the clouds in the sky were shaking under the impact of this domineering aura.

The sea below was constantly surging.

Conqueror's Haki cannot be cultivated; it only grows stronger with increased strength and aura.

Rocks's Conqueror's Haki at this moment was far more powerful than before!

Because he's become stronger!

"What... ability is this?"

Suspended in mid-air, swinging his right arm, Kizaru sensed the evil and violent Conqueror's Haki and the even stronger sense of oppression emanating from Rocks.

Sweat beaded on his forehead...

He knew that the black-haired swordsman possessed the ability to briefly unleash a burst of power.

However, the information did not mention that this abnormal energy cloak, resembling a flickering dark green flame, would appear.

Has the opponent's Devil Fruit awakened?

"Your Mythical Beast - Blackwing Demon Fruit has awakened?"

Kizaru asked the question in a deep voice.

It's both a question and an attempt to gather intelligence on the other side...

The Navy only speculated that the black-haired swordsman's ability might be the power of a mythical beast called Blackwing Daima.

However, it's not certain...

Intelligence is of utmost importance!

"It seems your navy also has some suspicions about my abilities."

Upon hearing Kizaru's words, Rocks understood.
