Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

As a result, they saw a golden light shooting towards a certain location, and the navy knew who it was.

Then he followed closely behind...

A sharp-eyed naval officer spotted the three figures in the "standoff" and exclaimed, "It really is Admiral Kizaru! And that's... Blackwing Daima!"

"As expected of Admiral Kizaru, we've been searching for so long without any news, but as soon as Admiral Kizaru arrived here, he had already found the whereabouts of Dark Lord."

"The other person is... hiss, a sea lily, a toad, a lily ...

"What?! Rayleigh, the 'Pluto'? Such a big shot is here too? Could it be that the Celestial Dragons' deaths are related to Roger Tycoon?"

"Does the Blackwing Demon know Roger Haifei?"

After seeing the situation over there, the naval soldiers were all taken aback.

"Black Winged Demon" Rocks and "Pluto" Rayleigh are actually together...

Do the two know each other?

This is no small matter!

Kizaru: "..."

He felt like the sky had fallen.

They had to come at this exact moment, of all times.

Isn't this setting him up for a scam?

That's good, if we don't take action...

He, as a naval admiral, will also be in a lot of trouble!

Upon seeing the navy arrive, Rocks couldn't help but scoff, "You're putting on quite a show, trying to stall for time?"

This guy is dishonest.

Are they planning to stall for time until other support arrives?

Rocks wasn't surprised that Kizaru arrived first; the speed of the Glint-Glint Fruit was absolutely unmatched in this vast ocean...

However, the Navy leadership should also be aware that Kizaru alone cannot stop them.

Support will definitely arrive later!

Do you think I'll give you a chance to stall for time?

Rocks grinned.

Dark green energy surged around him, outlining horns, wings, and a tail—the third stage of his ethereal transformation…

'Sa! '

Rocks took a step forward and instantly appeared beside Kizaru in mid-air, as if teleporting.

The fist unleashed a powerful thunderous force, containing the power of a phantom strike!

"One bone!"

"Light Burst Kick!"

'Boom!!'

In mid-air, at the point where the two attacks collided, two kinds of light shone: a deep green light and a dazzling golden light.

The light shone in all directions.

With a deafening roar, a shockwave erupted from the center of the collision, transforming into a roaring, furious dragon that swept outwards!

'Whoosh! '

Amidst the two-colored light, a golden beam rapidly descended diagonally downwards.

With a final 'boom,' it crashed onto the earth, creating a huge crater...

"Phantom Flash!"

That's just how Rocks' fighting style is; he goes all out when he attacks, raising his right hand and aiming downwards.

A deep green light bursts forth from the fingertips.

'laugh!'

The blast of light was like a beam of light piercing downwards, scorching the air as it shot out, and crashing down on the spot where Kizaru had landed!

"You're as decisive as ever, giving no one time to react before launching an attack of this caliber..."

A helpless sound came from the pit; Kizaru was utterly exhausted.

The Blackwing Archdeacon has a truly awful personality; he attacks at the slightest provocation, and when he does, it's with this level of force...

"Light Wheel Cannon!"

Facing the descending holographic light, Kizaru also unleashed a thick golden laser beam from his palm.

'Buzzing...'

The two colors of light clashed in mid-air, like needles clashing against wheat awns.

However, no explosion occurred immediately.

Instead, it's the clash and cancellation of two opposing energies that create a two-colored, swirling energy sphere...

'Hiss hiss hiss...'

As the two colors of light annihilated and canceled each other out, the power of the attack gradually weakened and eventually disappeared completely.

This attack did not cause much damage...

"You countered my Cero with an equal attack. You've been thinking a lot about our fight lately..."

Lockes narrowed his eyes.

To neutralize the attack with equal power, hmm... what is this anti-ghost mutual killing?

This skill is not easy to master.

It requires extremely strong control over one's own strength and the ability to instantly judge the power of the enemy's attack.

An ordinary person could never do it in such a short time.

"There's nothing I can do. After losing to you once, I got a real beating from Fleet Admiral Sengoku. I'm a Navy Admiral, after all. It's quite embarrassing..."

Kizaru pouted, revealing a helpless expression.

Yet, I felt a sense of heaviness in my heart.

Why does this guy seem stronger than he was a month ago?

"Does that mean... you think you can beat me now?"

Rocks' lips curled into a dangerous smile: "Or are you saying you weren't serious last time? Don't be so arrogant, Kizaru!"

'Sa! '

As Lox took a step forward, space began to ripple, and the distance was instantly shortened.

"One bone!"

Rocks, who appeared behind Kizaru, threw another punch, his fist flashing with dark green light and unleashing a powerful lightning bolt.

"Yata no Kagami!"

Movement using spatial abilities is inherently unpredictable, and Rocks is also incredibly fast.

If Kizaru hadn't mastered Observation Haki, which allows him to foresee the future, he might not have been able to detect from where Rocks would appear...

The golden light shimmered and transformed into a shield of light.

The Yata no Kagami can be used for long-distance refraction and movement, and it can also be transformed into a light shield for defense!

'Boom!'

When Rocks punched the light shield, ripples immediately appeared in the air.

This punch did not shake the light shield, not because it was unbreakable, but because the power and Haki penetrated the light shield and blasted towards Kizaru!

This punch wasn't aimed at a bone.

It is a serious punch with penetrating force!

Furthermore, it was enhanced with Armament Haki that had caused internal damage, and it was successfully unleashed!

"Ok?"

Kizaru's expression instantly darkened.

The opponent wasn't using any techniques learned from Garp's Iron Fist; it was a different kind of attack that could penetrate external defenses...

It also has the added Armament Haki of internal destruction!

What a cunning fellow!

'Boom!'

Logia-type elemental powers cannot provide immunity to Haki; Kizaru's Armament Haki only partially neutralized the power, with the remaining force still blasting into him…

The immense impact on his internal organs caused Kizaru to cough up blood, and his eyes became bloodshot.

The force and domineering aura of the punch sent him flying.

It transformed into a golden ray of light and shot out, finally crashing into the Yarchiman mangrove tree with a loud 'boom,' its body becoming embedded within it...

Seeing this, Rayleigh couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment, "Truly... an eye-opener..."

Kizaru was also a familiar face to him; he was no stranger to the current Admirals.

They naturally knew their strength...

As a result, Rocks only needed to make a few moves to send Kizaru flying and injure him.

Rocks' strength is truly terrifying!

What's even more frightening is that they are too decisive; who would attack someone with all their might the moment they meet them?

Aren't you going to try and find out first, or even say hello?

Their generation didn't fight like this...

Shakky, with a thin cigarette dangling from her lips, raised an eyebrow in surprise: "The newspaper reports were indeed hiding something. Rocks' strength is not as simple as just holding his own against Kizaru, is it?"

Although it was only a few exchanges of fighting, she learned a lot.

If this continues...

Rocks has a very good chance of defeating Kizaru, provided Kizaru doesn't run away...

Kuina, her right hand gripping the Wado Ichimonji, was ready to strike. Upon hearing this, she said, "Rocks said he's better at countering Kizaru."

"If it were any other general, this situation might not have occurred."

She had heard Rocks' analysis; Rocks was indeed quite effective against Kizaru...

Shaki laughed, "This also shows that Brother Lox is no ordinary person. He's really an amazing young man..."

"Stare~"

Nami stared warily at Shakky.

Is the range of "fish-stealing cats" she needs to worry about now so wide?

From eleven-year-olds to teenagers and young adults to those in their fifties...

Is Lox a succubus?

Is it that attractive to the opposite sex?

"Cuckoo..."

Noticing Nami's wary gaze, Shakky couldn't help but laugh. After taking a drag of her cigarette, she comforted her, "Don't look at me like that, little girl. I'm just admiring you."

"However, if I were a few decades younger, I might actually take the initiative to pursue Brother Rocks."

"Humph!"

Upon hearing this, Nami snorted and muttered under her breath, "What's the point of Xiao Luo being so popular?"

As she said this, she glanced sideways at Lelia, whose eyes were shining and who looked like a die-hard fan, and pouted, "Another 'fish-stealing cat' is going to appear on the ship..."
