The billowing dust was extinguished with a single slash, and a purplish-black blade of light descended from the sky.
The White Tiger General leaped away suddenly, and then a loud bang resounded from where he had just stood, revealing a terrifying crack.
"Didn't you want to kill me? What are you hiding for!"
The moment Lockes landed, he was launched away and appeared in front of General White Tiger as if by teleportation.
The katana slashed again, and with a "whoosh," a purple-black aura filled the sky, and a fierce light flashed.
The killing intent emanating from this knife is too strong; countless people have died by its blade.
The sheer killing intent emanating from them was enough to make some of the navy personnel tremble.
The White Tiger General had learned his lesson and retreated to avoid the sharp blade.
He transformed his claws into fists, imbued them with Armament Haki, and delivered a punch straight at Rocks' head.
Wherever the fist passed, the air exploded with a loud bang, creating a powerful gust of wind.
Rocks neither dodged nor evaded, instantly closing the distance to meet the fist, and slashed with his katana again.
"boom!!!"
General White Tiger's fist landed squarely on Lockes' face, but it only caused the latter to bleed a little.
"Such a light punch! Were you even using any force, Admiral?"
Rocks’ tone was mocking, as if the punch had really been very light.
That's not actually the case.
The reason why Admiral Baihu was able to become a Marine Admiral is twofold: firstly, his own Haki is not weak, and secondly, he possesses a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, which is even rarer than Logia-type Devil Fruits.
The combination of these two factors, along with his military achievements, led to his promotion to Admiral.
Whether in terms of Haki or Devil Fruit power, General White Tiger is by no means weak.
After transforming from human to beast form, his strength increased by at least several levels.
Even so, it only caused Rocks a minor injury.
General White Tiger was startled as he watched the katana slashing towards him. It was too close for him to dodge, and his Armament Haki was no match for Rocks's.
Suddenly, its tiger eyes widened, and it let out a long roar, spewing out a dazzling white light from its mouth.
Lockes was also surprised, not expecting that General White Tiger had such a hidden trick up his sleeve.
That makes sense. How could a naval admiral not have some backup plans?
At the same close distance, there was no room to dodge.
However, instead of showing any fear, Lox's face revealed a sinister smile.
The katana's speed increased instead of decreasing, slashing diagonally towards General White Tiger's waist.
"God is dead!!!"
"White Tiger Light Wave!!!"
Both were fighting for their lives; whoever backed down would lose.
However, just as the White Tiger beam was about to hit Rocks, Rocks suddenly turned his head to the side.
Half of his face, an ear, and a tuft of hair were swallowed up by the light waves.
Rocks showed no sign of pain; even the double pain inflicted by the Dark-Dark Fruit did not cause him any discomfort.
"What!!!"
General White Tiger was shocked, never expecting that Rocks could react at such close range.
Immediately afterward, a sharp pain shot through his lower back as the katana pierced his body, and intense pain instantly spread throughout his entire being.
Rocks's madness intensified, and he tightened his grip on the hilt of his sword, attempting to cleave the White Tiger General in two at the waist!
But General Baihu is still a general, and his strength is not weak either.
Driven by the instinct for survival, he slammed both palms into Locke's chest.
With the help of the recoil and Rocks's retreat, the katana could no longer penetrate his body.
Lockes' eyes narrowed, and he exerted his strength, his katana slicing through the body of the White Tiger General in an instant.
Although it didn't cut him in half, it successfully disemboweled him, causing blood to splatter on the spot.
General Baihu immediately created distance and used his life restoration and innate recovery abilities to heal.
The blow was extremely heavy and nearly cost him his life.
If you can't kill him in an instant, then it's very difficult to kill him.
This is the power of the Mythical Zoan type, White Tiger form of the Cat-Cat Fruit.
"As expected of a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, its regenerative ability is truly powerful!"
Lox's gaze sharpened as he looked at the White Tiger General's wounds, which were visibly healing.
After speaking, he charged out again, clearly having a solution in mind.
"clang!!!"
As the katana thrust forward, General White Tiger condensed white light waves to form a shield, blocking the katana.
Immediately afterwards, the light waves converged on his fists, unleashing a barrage of fist shadows that slammed into Rocks.
Rocks, too, brandished his fists and katana, engaging in a fierce battle with the White Tiger General.
The two collided instantly, clanging and clattering, battling from the ground to the sky, and then back down to the ground.
Wherever the two fought, whether it was the Navy, pirates, or people from the World Government, the aftershocks of the battle caused them to bleed from all seven orifices and die beyond any hope of survival.
Their battle was so powerful that even the Golden Lion and his companions deep within the Valley of the Gods could sense the commotion.
Steelbone's face was solemn. He knew that General White Tiger was no match for Rocks.
Without anyone else to provide support, defeat is only a matter of time.
"We can't afford to drag this out any longer, or the scales of victory will tip completely in the favor of the Rocks Pirates!"
But how easy is it for him to help?
Golden Lion Shiki is already a formidable opponent to Marine Admirals thanks to his Haki and swordsmanship. Now, with the added power of the Float-Float Fruit, defeating him is even more impossible.
Garp might be able to contend with Whitebeard, but the outcome will definitely not be decided in a short time.
The golden lion floated in the air, staring grimly at the battle between Rocks and the White Tiger General.
He thought that by becoming a user of the Float-Float Fruit, he would have strength comparable to Rocks.
However, the current battle shows that he is still a long way from Rocks.
"Whatever, I can't stay in the Rocks Pirates after this battle. But if I want to leave, he can't stop me!"
If you can't beat them, can't you at least run away? The Golden Lion has already begun to make his plans.
If you want to escape and build your own pirate crew, funding is essential.
With such a huge treasure right in front of him, how could he possibly give it up!
Thinking of this, a look of madness appeared in his eyes.
Kong's Observation Haki sensed Shiki's movements, and his expression instantly darkened.
"Steelbow Sky, you pesky bastard, die! Thousand-Cut Valley!"
The golden lion brandished his twin swords in succession, unleashing thousands of terrifying slashing waves that blotted out the sky and enveloped the entire valley.
It wasn't over yet. In order to end the battle here as soon as possible, he continued to activate the power of the Float-Float Fruit.
"Lion's Might, Earth Sweep!"
The ground was whipped up by the Floating Fruit, and countless pebbles transformed into more than a dozen lion heads, all rushing toward the main hall behind Steel Bone Sky.
At that moment, amidst the cacophony of battle, the cries of two infants could be heard.
Although it was very soft, everyone present was capable of hearing it clearly.
"Has the lady given birth yet!" the CP0 officer exclaimed in surprise, but now he was facing a crisis and he didn't know what to do.
Hearing two cries from the sky, Lu Renjia's attention fell on that spot.
"A baby? Could it be that Shanks and Bucky were born?"
