Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

We can still put up a fight!

Since we'll be enemies anyway, let's test the waters first!

*Sizzle!*

Space was torn open, the rift opening behind Im. Rocks raised his hand and unleashed a series of Cero Flashes, each one blasting towards Im from behind!

'Huh huh huh...'

The sound of pages turning in the magic book filled the air, and "magical energy" emanated from the book, enveloping Im's body and forming a cocoon...

'Boom! Boom boom boom…'

The attacks came from both sides, landing one after another on the black cocoon, creating a continuous, deafening roar.

'Snap!'

Under the relentless barrage of attacks, the black cocoon was blasted apart after only a few seconds, along with Im's, or rather, Junzi's, body, which was also torn to pieces...

"One Bone - Crushing Strike!"

Space tore open, and Rocks' figure appeared.

Lox took a deep breath, oxygen flooding his body and enhancing his physical functions. He raised his right arm and unleashed his strongest attack on the shattered body of Im.

"Demonic energy..."

Im's eyes remained expressionless, and he ignored the oncoming attacks.

He pinched his right thumb and forefinger together, and a cluster of black flames flickered slightly in his palm.

Then a fireball, resembling a demon's face, blasted towards Lox.

'Boom!'

A deafening roar?

No, it was two booming sounds that rang out at the same time!

Im's already fragmented body became even more "shattered" under Lox's attack, as if it had been directly annihilated, leaving only a few remnants.

However, Im's aura did not disappear, nor did it weaken at all.

The ground beneath Im's feet was plowed and cracked by the terrifying force of the punch, creating a huge crater with numerous fissures spreading out along the hole...

On the other side, Rocks also took the hit head-on from the fireballs formed by "demonic energy".

In the violent explosion, Rocks was also blasted backward, coughing up blood, his skin torn open, and several bones broken...

'boom! '

Rocks steadied himself by stepping on air, grinning, "You think you can injure me with a casual blow? Your attack is really powerful..."

Rocks' physical strength may not be as great as Kaido and Big Mom, the two "physical monsters".

But it absolutely cannot be called weak.

As a result, Im injured him with a casual strike.

This guy's attack was undeniably powerful, and Rocks used Armament Haki to defend himself in that instant.

However, it was still broken, and Im's attack injured him.

With a thought, he unleashed Super Regeneration, and Rocks' injuries were instantly healed.

Looking at Im, whose body was rapidly "repairing," Lox spat, "His aura hasn't weakened at all, and he's constantly being supplied with power from behind?"

The state of merely possessing cannot be Im's full power.

Limited by his physical form, Junzi cannot fully unleash his power, but he still possesses combat strength at the level of a sea emperor.

You can tell from that casual strike just now.

And Im, who was "transmitting" power from behind, had almost annihilated the soldier's body, but after recovering, his aura remained undiminished...

'You need to use the Seven Star Sword to strike the opponent...'

Lockes pondered to himself.

The Seven Star Sword possesses the ability to counter "immortality".

If you can strike the opponent with the Seven Star Sword, it might have a miraculous effect.

After the Seven Star Sword "ate" the Swallow Fruit, its ability to devour and absorb blood and negative emotions was enhanced.

It transforms into the "vitality and life force" that devours and absorbs the creatures it has slain.

However, the Seven Star Sword cannot fully exert its power in the hands of others.

Only Rocks, the "Blackwing Demon," could perfectly unleash the power of the Seven Star Sword.

Because the Blackwing Great Demon Void itself also possesses the ability to devour and absorb.

The combination of the two is perfect, achieving a result greater than the sum of its parts.

Furthermore, the Blackwing Great Demon Void is the dominant force.

Without the Blackwing Great Demon Void's abilities, even if he "ate" the Devouring Fruit, the Seven Star Sword's abilities would never be so overpowered.

Only Rocks, a Blackwing Demon user, could perfectly wield the Seven Star Sword's power!

"..."

The soldier's body had been fully repaired, and Im spread his wings and slowly floated up.

Im clenched his fist and muttered calmly to himself, "This body is unable to fully unleash its 'demonic energy'? It was defeated so easily..."

Demonic energy is Im's "force".

The strength of "military force" is influenced by many factors.

The body is the most important thing.

Im, who "dominates" the soldier's body, is unable to fully unleash his "force".

The soldiers were physically too weak in comparison...

Im's gaze returned to the recovered Lox, and he said calmly, "You also possess the ability of 'immortality'? It's so similar to my ability..."

The other party's recovery speed is not much different from the "immortality" of the person who was "contracted".

Blackwing Demon Fruit...

Such a demonic fruit, resembling a "demon," should not exist in this world!

Chapter 238 The mighty Im! How about we team up and crush this guy?

"God or demon, only one can exist, and that is Mu..."

Im spread his demonic wings behind him and stared at Lox, calmly saying, "The happiness of the world exists only in domination. The world that I dominate is happiness. I will not allow anyone to interfere with my domination."

"Anything that affects the ruler of Mu will be punished by Mu..."

'Boom!'

Before he could finish speaking, a torrent of heat rushed toward Im.

Over there, Kaido couldn't hold back any longer and made his move.

"..."

Im looked on calmly and indifferently, turning the page of the spellbook again, and black magic flames were generated.

'Boom!'

The burning black demonic energy transformed into a demonic face, which opened its mouth to swallow the incoming hot breath. The explosion caused the small demons formed from the demonic energy to inflate like balloons, but it failed to burst.

The demonic flames grinned grotesquely, wisps of black smoke drifting from their mouths...

"Kedo the Beast..."

Im's eyes were calm and still, his expression serene.

He was merely a maritime emperor and was not taken seriously by "her".

How many such people have appeared over the centuries?

There are too many to count!

However, Im ignored all of these people.

Because these people pose no threat to the world ruled and dominated by Im.

If we're talking about people worth paying attention to hundreds of years ago, there were only a handful...

One was Rocks of the Davy Clan, another was Roger who arrived at Laugh Tale, and yet another was a former user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit...

The rest are all "lower-level ants"!

Im remained silent, raised his hand towards Kaido, turned the page of his spellbook, and unleashed a demonic flame like a cannonball, hurtling towards Kaido!

"Hooray, watch my thunderous gossip!"

Kaido grabbed his spiked club and slammed it down, colliding with the demonic flames.

With a deafening explosion, Kaido was completely knocked back.

"Not bad, King of the World!"

Having just heard Rocks address him that way, Kaido decided to stick with that title.

He stared at Im with his dragon eyes, grinning arrogantly: "But that's all there is to it. Can someone with this kind of strength really control the world?"

"Aren't those guys who once lost to you a bit too weak?"

Is this all the power the world's leading government has?

Why does it feel weaker than the original "Rocks"?

Is this the "King of the World"?

Not good enough!

"..."

Im remained silent.

His expression remained unmoved.

The ants have stopped chirping.

Although "she" could not unleash the "power" of demonic energy in her body, she had corresponding measures.

The forms of demonic energy are numerous and varied, and can also be used to strengthen oneself.

"Demonic energy..."

'Whoosh...'

Im kept turning the pages of the magic book in his hand, and strands of black, flame-like magic energy burned and solidified.

Finally, a halo of demonic flames formed above Im's head.

'Om! '

Amidst the eerie buzzing sound, Im's aura grew even stronger.

He strengthens his body with demonic energy, allowing him to unleash even greater power.

At this time, a pair of long horns also grew from Im's forehead.

This appearance is even more similar to Rocks' Hollowfication - Stage 3...

"Ok?"

Kaido frowned.

The feeling this guy gave him had changed.

At this moment, his Observation Haki surged wildly, warning him of the danger posed to the person before him.

You've gotten stronger?

And this appearance...

Why does it look so similar to the Blackwing Demon?!
