I am the Bandit King of the East Sea.

"When I was young, I once faced an admiral, a Yonko, and a powerful Observation Haki user who could foresee the future, all at the same time in a state of extreme anger. I managed to dodge all their attacks."

"You can do it too. It's that simple, did you learn it?"

As he spoke, Dracula's breathing became increasingly rapid, and the knuckles of his hands gripping the magic spear turned white as he walked step by step toward Rocks in front of him.

“Prediction…prediction…” Dracula murmured.

“How inexplicable…” Lox looked at Sig and Dracula and snorted coldly.

When he saw Sieg pointing out the world from the clouds, a fire ignited in his heart, burning brightly and intensely.

But at that moment, Lox suddenly felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, splashing onto the ground.

"Oh, this..."

Watching this scene from the clouds, a strange thought suddenly came to mind.

"Is this the power of the Face Fruit? Because Rocks didn't give me face before and insisted on finding out about my abilities, so he coughed up blood?"

As everyone knows, the Face Fruit is the world's strongest, ranked No. 0, an extra-class Devil Fruit.

In the original work, Shanks' Face Fruit ability was highly effective in battle, and not only did the Marine Headquarters take a truce, but the Five Elders also made time to see him.

Those who dare to disrespect him will suffer an even more tragic fate.

Marco once disrespected him by refusing Shanks' offer to recruit him, and later suffered repeated defeats, almost scattering the pirate crew left behind by Whitebeard.

Even Whitebeard, who was already the strongest in the world, once disrespected Shanks and refused Shanks' mediation outright. Later... he died.

And now, Rocks...

Lox gently wiped the corner of his mouth and looked coldly at Sieg.

"So that's how it is. Was he trying to provoke me on purpose? He really is a cunning guy." He tried his best to calm down.

Chapter 741 The Curse of the Demon Gun

"To dodge an attack while in a state of extreme rage? What a joke."

Lockes carefully considered Sig's previous words and chuckled coldly.

“A strong person who is proficient in Observation Haki can indeed predict attacks, and even briefly foresee the future.”

"But when you're out of control and blinded by anger, you can't use Observation Haki. Is that what Sigmund is planning, trying to provoke me?"

Rocks snorted coldly.

Given his current status, he certainly wouldn't engage in a one-on-one duel with Dracula, allowing Wang Xige to sit high above and watch the show, offering his opinions.

He used the Moon Step technique and darted forward rapidly.

At the same time, he clenched his fists, and two dark masses enveloped them. He then punched out two jets of black tornadoes, which, with their terrifying suction, drew in all the surrounding soil and gravel, which were then compressed and twisted by the terrifying force.

These two pitch-black tornadoes, one on the left and one on the right, reached the sky above and swept up the ground below, engulfing Sig in the air above and Dracula below, respectively. The ground cracked again, and the entire island trembled.

"It seems that Lox doesn't intend for me to watch the game."

Sieg was actually quite calm at this moment.

Rocks's attack was unexpected, but as long as he continued to use the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit to attack, Sigurd wouldn't have to worry about his life until his chuunibyou energy was exhausted.

He was trying to figure out how to calm Rocks down and get them to shake hands and make peace again.

Seeing two jet-black tornadoes coming from the left and right, Sieg followed Rox's example and clenched his fists as well.

Since Lox took the initiative to attack both of them together, Sieg would no longer stand idly by.

"Dark Flame Storm!"

As he spoke in a low voice, two jet-black flames, like serpents, began to swirl around his arms.

With each rotation of the arm, the flames of the snake would grow thicker and larger.

When the serpentine flames gathered in his palms, they had become a raging serpentine firestorm, which then burst forth with a swing of Sieg's fists.

call out----

Compared to Locus's pitch-black tornado, the two black fire storms that Sieg unleashed were not as powerful, and they didn't even stir up any dust on the ground.

But when the pitch-black flames collided head-on with the dense darkness, they both dissolved into the air.

Dracula... was now in a state of extreme rage, almost completely losing his reason.

Under the cover of darkness, Dracula's figure flickered and disappeared from the spot.

"Flying Thunder God Technique!"

His figure became a blur, much faster than usual, and he appeared behind Lockes, thrusting his spear forward!

But this thrust lacked the smooth, one-shot kill feel of the past.

Upon closer inspection, Rocks had turned around at some point and was coldly staring at Dracula in front of him.

"The Darkest Vortex".

A dark vortex erupted from Rocks' right hand, firmly gripping the magic spear in Dracula's hand, and an irresistible force surged forth.

Instantly, the magic spear slipped from Dracula's hand and was caught by Rocks. Dracula staggered and almost fell.

"The Demon Spear has been snatched by Rocks?"

Sig felt a chill run down his spine.

The act of disarming someone with bare hands can only happen between two people of vastly different strengths—except for Li Jing.

Even Dracula, in a state of extreme rage and with his potential fully unleashed, was clearly not capable of contending with Rocks on his own.

With the magic spear in hand, Dracula was so powerful that even Corwell, who was wearing titanium steel alloy groin protection, could not withstand it. However, Rocks easily snatched it from Dracula's hands.

"Compared to Roger, Rayleigh, and the others, Dracula, you're still too green."

Rocks glanced at the magic spear in his hand and said calmly.

Dracula glared at Rocks and immediately retorted:

"Compared to Iron Chrysanthemum, Lox is still too inexperienced."

"If you're a man, stand tall and take this shot!"

Lockston paused for a moment, veins bulging on his forehead, and the surging darkness around him intensified.

"This... the shadow clone seems to have lost its mind."

The thought crossed Sieg's mind, and he felt a little worried.

He thought for a moment, then immediately shouted:

"Lox, that demonic spear in your hand is the Piercing Death Spear, a cursed spear that brings misfortune simply by being picked up..."

"Wang Xige, you're still a liar."

Lox sneered and instead gripped the crimson magic spear in his hand tighter.

He no longer believed Sieg's words, gripped the magic spear, and aimed it at Dracula in front of him, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"Dracula, I've heard you've impaled tens of thousands of people, but I didn't know you'd ever been impaled by your own weapon?"

Upon hearing this, Dracula's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated.

But Lox reacted even faster.

The instant Dracula made his move, Rocks gripped his magic spear tightly, stomped his feet heavily on the ground, causing the ground to crack and sink several centimeters.

Rocks' body, however, used the recoil from that step to sprint forward... but he didn't manage to get going?

Crack... Boom!

Centered on the ground beneath Lockes' feet, the already ravaged ground collapsed, trembling and sinking deeper until it formed a deep crater tens or even hundreds of meters deep.

Sig sat on a cloud, looking down into the deep pit. He could no longer see Lox; he had probably been completely buried by earth and rocks.

"Who can withstand this curse... Speaking of which, could my being entangled with Lox also be related to this demonic spear?"

Sieg thought to himself.

Then he saw the bright red magic spear gradually emerge from between Dracula's hands.

Dracula transformed the magic spear into a card, then re-enacted it, and it returned to his hand.

Meanwhile, the abyss below experienced another violent tremor.

All the sand and gravel were drawn in, twisted, and crushed by the suddenly appearing dark, deep hole!

A dark shadow shrouded in darkness leaped high into the air, and a giant, pitch-black vortex shot into the sky around Lox.

“I didn’t expect to fall for your tricks again, Wang Xige.” A deep voice came from the darkness.

At this moment, his black hair was burning like fire, and endless darkness emerged from the pitch-black giant vortex.

"Wang Xige, do you know why, before me, although there were many great pirates on the sea, there were almost no overlords like me?"

Before Sieg could answer, Lox, his face dark, continued speaking to himself:

"Because there are too many ambitious men like you on the high seas!"

Chapter 742 The Strongest Slide Tackle

Lox was shrouded in darkness, and his cold words came out from within:

"Those who are strong enough to stand at the top of the sea mostly have their own ambitions and aspirations. Even if they are marines, they will not be willing to continue to be the dogs of the Celestial Dragons."

"I knew from the very beginning of my pirate crew that some powerful individuals were impossible to subdue. But so what?"

"As long as I live, no matter how strong a pirate is, he will always be my subordinate."

Locus stared at Sig, and the surging darkness around him erupted upward, forming a giant vortex that shot into the sky.

"Among so many great pirates in the pirate crew, you alone have crossed the line, King Hig.

Rocks growled from his throat:

"liberation!"

At this moment, all the sand, gravel, and trees that had been sucked in earlier were ejected from the black hole and pressed out in all directions from the surging dark vortex.
