Boom!!!

The two swords did not collide, but the energy released was terrifying.

A dark red energy ball appeared between the two swords, surrounded by red and black lightning.

"What? Roger actually learned Conqueror's Haki Entanglement!"

Garp is still a young man and has a very strong competitive spirit towards everyone.

Seeing that Roger, whom he had been chasing all along, had even mastered Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, he naturally felt resentful.

As people who also possess Conqueror's Haki, why was Roger able to learn it while Garp couldn't?

He clenched his fists, staring intently at Roger and Rocks.

Whitebeard and Golden Lion exclaimed in shock: "Without even touching it, it can unleash such terrifying energy! Is this Conqueror's Haki?!"

As individuals who both possess Conqueror's Haki, they both deeply desire to be enveloped by it.

However, Rocks had never demonstrated this technique in front of them before, so Whitebeard and Shiki still hadn't learned how to use Conqueror's Haki.

Now, having witnessed Rocks' "Godfall" and Roger's "God Avoidance," I have gained a new understanding of Conqueror's Haki.

"I never expected Roger to learn it first. If the other pirates find out, won't they laugh at me for not having any talent?!"

This thought simultaneously arose in the minds of both Whitebeard and Golden Lion, an intense longing for the power of Conqueror's Haki.

At the center of the collision, Roger and Rocks were positioned one above the other.

"Damn it, get down here!" Roger roared.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't push down Rocks's knife.

Rocks scoffed, "I didn't expect you to steal my Conqueror's Haki Entanglement technique. However, even though we're both using Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, there's a difference!"

With that, the veins on his arms bulged, and a terrifying wave of Conqueror's Haki swept out.

The energy sphere that kept the two swords from getting close shattered, and Rocks' katana slammed heavily into Roger's Ace.

"What?!"

Roger hadn't expected things to change so quickly, and he was suddenly at a disadvantage.

Coming to his senses, his vision rapidly receded, and he shot into the sky like a rocket.

With a "pfft," a mouthful of blood spurted from Roger's mouth.

"So powerful! Is this Rocks' true strength?!"

Roger glanced out of the corner of his eye and suddenly saw Rayleigh and the others, who were completely unharmed.

"Huh? Rayleigh and the others are alright?!"

After that last cut, seeing the debris of the Oro Jackson on the sea, I thought they had met with misfortune.

It turns out he was overthinking everything.

“Rayleigh, Jabba…”

Just as he was about to shout, Lox's attack arrived.

Although it was unclear what had gotten into Roger, Rocks was not one to suffer a loss without retaliating.

Since they are unwilling to join the Rocks Pirates and even attacked him, there is no need for them to continue living at sea.

Several terrifying blade beams shot into the sky, aiming to tear Roger to shreds.

Roger was no pushover either. He held Ace against the blade's edge, directly deflecting the impact of the blade's attack.

Just as Rocks was about to finish off Roger, a dark figure suddenly rushed in.

A flash of cold light, and the pure white sword tip appeared in the darkness.

The lightning-fast sword tip was swift and deadly, slicing through the air in its path, and the sharp sword energy made Lox feel the danger.

Rocks sidestepped, avoiding the gleaming sword tip.

He swung his katana down at the dark figure, unleashing a jet of black light.

With a "poof," the black shadow was annihilated.

However, before Rocks could lower his guard, the shadowy figure reassembled on the other side, and the gleaming sword tip reappeared.

It swiftly stabbed towards Lox's heart.

At such close range, even he, Rocks, could not completely avoid it.

With his other hand wrapped in Armament Haki, he grabbed directly at the incoming sword blade.

"clang!!!"

The moment it grasped it, it produced a metallic clang, demonstrating Rocks' exceptional mastery of Armament Haki.

Figarand Garin revealed his true form and shouted to those behind him, "Steelbow Kong, Garp, come and help me!"

Garp might not know who Figarand Garin is, but Cyborg Kong does.

Upon hearing this, he immediately signaled to Garp to step forward and kill Rocks.

Even though he wasn't entirely willing, Garp still rushed forward.

The other members of the Knights of God looked fierce. They had just lost face big time, so how could they possibly give up the opportunity to gang up on Rocks?

Even Rocks had to be extremely careful when facing an attack from three large armies and a group of men at least at the rank of lieutenant general.

"Newgate, Skeeter, hurry up and take your enemy away!"

However, neither Whitebeard nor Shiki obeyed his orders this time.

On the contrary, both of their eyes revealed a fierce glint.

If Rocks were to die here, it wouldn't be a bad thing for them.

After all, given his personality, leaving the Rocks Pirates would definitely lead to him being hunted down.

Being alone might mean having few worries.

But didn't they leave the Rocks Pirates precisely because they wanted to start their own crew?

If they can't even protect their own people, wouldn't they just become cowards hiding at sea?

The rest of the Rocks Pirates are currently engaged in fierce battles outside, and no one else can come to Rocks' aid.

Both Whitebeard and Shiki understood perfectly well that now was the perfect time to eliminate Rocks.

"Newgate, you should know what to do!"

The Golden Lion's face turned fierce. Without pausing, he brandished his twin swords and slashed at Rocks with Thousand Cut Valley.

Perhaps out of pride, Whitebeard did not choose to attack Rocks.

But he did not help Lox, leaving himself isolated from the battlefield.

Rocks felt the wrath of Zhanbo behind him and was furious. He never expected that the Golden Lion would betray him at this time.

Betrayal is one thing, but attacking him is another!

Although Whitebeard didn't make a move, he clearly wanted him dead.

Roger landed on the ground and attacked Rocks from the other side.

To become the Pirate King, one must overcome the towering mountain that is Rocks.

Otherwise, it would be a joke if everyone called themselves the "Pirate King".

"Garp, be careful! Rocks' Devil Fruit ability nullifies the abilities of Devil Fruit users. Use Haki against him, and whatever you do, don't use your Devil Fruit!"

Upon hearing this, Figaland Garin was startled.

He quickly withdrew his Devil Fruit powers and instead used pure Haki and swordsmanship to attack Rocks.

Kong and Garp do not possess Devil Fruits; they are true masters of Haki and are completely unafraid of Rocks' Dark-Dark Fruit.

Roger himself was a master of Haki and swordsmanship, so there was no need to worry about Rocks's bizarre Devil Fruit ability.

When his true colors were revealed, Rocks's true colors were revealed.

At this moment, he was facing five powerful admirals: Figarand Garin, Kong, Garp, Shiki, and Roger.

"Die, Rocks!!!"

In an instant, everyone unleashed their strongest attacks, mercilessly slamming into Rocks, wanting to kill this sea tyrant on the spot.

However, Rocks showed no fear in the face of their attack.

With his mouth full of black fangs, he looked incredibly eerie.

Just as the attack landed on him, a huge black shadow appeared on his back.
