Pirate: I have a Hollow living inside me

The enemy was either dead or defeated.

However, Rocks did not return to normal and remained in this "rampant" state...

If he can't regain his senses, who else can stop Rocks?

he?

Stop joking!

He is unlikely to be a match for Rocks in this position; the difference in strength is too great.

He might be able to hold out for a short time, but he absolutely cannot "suppress" Rocks in his current state...

Having taken the enhancement drug and experiencing its side effects, Moria dragged her exhausted body to Issho's side: "I'm afraid we can't just leave it like this, Mr. Issho..."

Olivera added in a deep voice, "Now that the enemy has left, if the captain is still not fully conscious, we'll be left to fend for ourselves..."

Moria and Olivera simply stepped back but did not leave, and watched the entire battle unfold.

While shocked and stunned, they also began to worry.

They shared the same thoughts as Yixiao...

"Although Rocks had mentioned this situation to us before, he clearly underestimated his power after going 'rampant'..."

Yi Xiao said in a deep voice, "Even if we called on the entire adventure team, it would still be difficult to subdue him..."

Judging from the strength that Rocks has shown so far.

If the entire Blackwing Archmage adventure group rushed forward, they would probably be defeated.

At this moment, Yi Xiao was at a loss for what to do.

One can only hope that Rocks can regain his sanity...

"Hey, the enemy has all left. What's going on with your captain?"

Sabo, who had also just finished watching the battle, also flashed over.

He glanced at the terrifying and fierce-looking Locke over there, then said to the adventurers, "Don't tell me... your captain is the 'enemy' from now on?"

"..."

The three fell silent.

There was no answer to this question.

At the same time, they were also curious about Sabo's identity.

Previously, only Rocks, Kuina, Robin, and Nami had contact with Sabo.

The others were unaware of Sab's identity.

However, judging from the situation just now when Sabo made his move, he should know Rocks.

Sabo was so flustered by the silence of the three that sweat rolled down his forehead, and his voice trembled slightly: "No...no way?"

Is it true or not?

Are they going to fight Lox in this posture?

How many lives are there to fill the gap?

'Om! '

Just as these people fell silent, unsure of how to respond...

Something changed about Rocks over there.

With a soft sound, the "mutation" on Rocks disappeared.

To revert from the "virtualized" state back to the appearance of an ordinary person...

Chapter 242 concludes! Departure! The Thunder Fruit, which couldn't be developed...

"You're out?"

Reverting to his normal appearance, Rocks knelt on one knee, panting heavily, his tone filled with doubt and uncertainty.

In the realm of consciousness and the world of the mind, his perception is suppressed, and he is unaware of what is happening in the outside world.

Just now, the energy that filled the space of consciousness and the world of the mind suddenly gathered and converged towards the Great Demon, thus allowing Rocks to regain control of his body...

"Is it because the Great Demon overexerted himself? Or is there something else..."

Lockes thought to himself.

At this moment, his Observation Haki had already swept across the surroundings, allowing him to assess the situation.

There was no sign of the enemy, only Yi Xiao and his companions.

They are clearly out of danger...

Was it because the Great Demon had exhausted too much energy and could no longer control his body?

Or are there other reasons?

'Swish swish swish...'

Ichisho, Moria, and Olivera arrived and inquired about Rocks' condition.

"I'm fine."

Lox waved his hand and asked, "Tell me what just happened..."

"..."

Listening to Yixiao and the others' description, Rocks' eyes flickered slightly as he muttered to himself, 'He's overwhelming Im and Kaido in the fight, is the Great Demon that strong?'

'And the described appearance... a double-stage resurrection blade?'

'No, it should be the appearance of the Great Demon himself...'

Returning the blade?

It shouldn't be!

Returning Blade is originally a change from the Arrancar's return to "virtual form," which is the true form after enhancing its "potential."

The Great Demon was originally a humanoid illusion.

The Great Demon's "energy" caused Rocks' body to mutate, naturally revealing the Great Demon's original form.

It is quite similar in appearance to the second stage of the Return Blade.

But Lox felt this was neither a return to the blade nor an awakening.

Rocks had a strange premonition that the Blackwing Demon's Resurrection Blade, or rather, the awakening of its Devil Fruit, was related to Rocks, its "master."

To put it simply...

The Great Demon cannot complete the Arrancar process on its own; it needs Rocks' "assistance".

Because the Great Demon's energy was supplied by Rocks!

Either Rocks completely subdues the Great Demon, or the Great Demon subdues Rocks.

Only when one side completely surrenders and loses the power to resist will the power of returning to the blade and awakening appear!

'The goal remains the same: to subdue the great demon...'

'However... I always felt that the Great Demon wasn't so difficult to get along with? Was I wrong before?'

The idea suddenly occurred to Lox.

He had previously judged the Great Demon to be "harmful" to him, always wanting to devour his soul and possess his body.

Now, Lox is wondering if he has misjudged the situation?

Otherwise, why would the Great Demon retreat after repelling the enemy...?

Is it really just due to excessive consumption?

'Never mind, I'll observe it more closely later...'

Locus looked inward into his mind's eye at the great demon "curled up into a ball," shook his head, and didn't think much of it.

The reason he previously judged the Great Demon to be "harmful" was because the Great Demon had almost "drained" him.

This left a deep psychological scar on Lox, who had just transmigrated at the time...

From that moment on, Lox was extremely wary of the Great Demon...

Having detached himself from the world of his mind, Lox said to his companions, "Now that things here are resolved, it's time for us to leave."

Stay here?

There's no need.

He didn't have much to talk about with the Dressrosa royal family.

As for the damage here...

His involvement is part of the story.

But the World Government, Kaido, and others also have them.

Without the involvement of these people, this place wouldn't have been destroyed like this...

Anyway, Rocks did save Dressrosa, and Dressrosa owes him a huge favor. Let's use that favor to offset the damage he caused here...

We're even!

Lox had no time to worry about anything else.

He's a good person, but not a pushover.

This matter needs to be handled by the Dressrosa royal family.

If he'll still be implicated by the World Government, then... it'll be like he'll destroy the World Government in the future, which will be revenge for them...

*Sizzle!*

As Rocks tore through space and was about to leave, he turned to Saber, who was not far away, and said:

"Our ship is docked on the east coast. We haven't finished discussing the previous deal yet. By the way, thank you for your help."

Sab replied, "Yes, Your Excellency Lox, we will keep our appointment."

"Ah."

Rocks nodded.

He then led the others back to the Black Demon.

"call……"

Seeing the members of the Blackwing Demon Adventure Group leave, Sabo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The Blackwing Demon that just appeared was really scary.

What is that power?

I still feel terrified when I think about it now.

That power was beyond his imagination; even "Kado the Beasts" and the "King of the World" were suppressed...

The Blackwing Demon is too powerful!

"Let's go find Koala and Haku first. They should have found the former royal family of Dressrosa, right? They were probably stunned by that 'King of the World's' Conqueror's Haki just now..."

Sabo unleashed his Observation Haki, locked onto a spot, and charged towards it...

He learned a lot on this trip and gained some insight into the inner workings of the world government.

He even made a deal with Nicole Robin.

This trip was very fruitful!

He also needs to communicate with the previous royal family in Dressrosa; there are some things he needs to clarify…

……

Rocks and the others returned to the Black Demon.

The others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Rocks and the others had returned safely...
