Seeing this, Lockes originally intended to take the bait.
After all, in his Kraken form, he possesses an almost immortal body, and can still live even if his head is cut off.
But the only thing he fears is Conqueror's Haki.
Conqueror's Haki is different from other forms of Haki; it's a type of Haki that not everyone can possess.
Therefore, it was cast with a special meaning, representing the symbol of "King".
The Conqueror's Haki he uses possesses a unique energy that can suppress the abilities of Devil Fruits.
Don't underestimate its small effect.
In a duel between masters, even the slightest deviation can determine victory or defeat.
Left with no other choice, he could only loosen his grip on Steel Bone Hollow's fist and abruptly turn his head to the side.
"Sizzle!"
A line of blood shot out from Lox's face, clearly indicating that he had been injured.
Roger exclaimed in surprise, "The Dark-Dark Fruit cannot be used to transform into an element, and his second Devil Fruit is vulnerable to Conqueror's Haki!"
Upon hearing this, some were happy while others were sad.
The mere requirement of possessing Conqueror's Haki is enough to eliminate most of the people here.
In addition, the requirement to be entangled with Conqueror's Haki eliminated a large portion of the participants.
Garp, Shiki, Whitebeard, and others possess Conqueror's Haki, but they haven't yet mastered Conqueror's Haki Entanglement.
Or rather, apart from Rocks and Roger, no third person has mastered Conqueror's Haki Entanglement.
"Damn it, how could such a thing happen!" Figarand Garin was furious.
He also possesses Conqueror's Haki, but he hasn't mastered the control of Conqueror's Haki Entanglement.
He was powerless against Rocks.
Roger and Rocks were locked in a fierce battle, and no one else could get involved.
Roger had only recently mastered Conqueror's Haki Entanglement and was no match for Rocks.
"Garp, haven't you learned it yet?!"
Roger roared as he fought; he hadn't come up to entangle with Rocks aimlessly.
Garp, who was watching the battle, narrowed his eyes and carefully observed the flow of Conqueror's Haki, wanting to learn it.
"Almost there, almost there, just a little more!"
Garp's answer made Roger smile wryly.
He couldn't hold out for long against Lox's ferocious attacks.
So he turned to the others and said, "Let's attack together, don't wait any longer. We must make sure Garp learns Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, or we'll all die here!"
However, the golden lion in the sky sneered upon hearing this.
"You guys better stop Rocks properly, I'm not playing with you!"
Having said that, he activated the power of the Float-Float Fruit, uprooting half of the main hall and taking away a large amount of treasure.
However, the most important boxes fell down.
Whitebeard, quick as a flash, grabbed the two nearest boxes and walked out of God Valley without looking back.
If Golden Lion dared to leave Rocks, how could Whitebeard, a man of great stature, possibly not dare!
He's almost mastered the Conqueror's Haki Entanglement technique; he just needs a little more time to learn it.
When they encounter Rocks, it's still uncertain who will win!
The Golden Lion shared the same idea, so he went about his business without any hesitation.
The other half of the hall fell into the water and flowed towards the sea.
Lu Renjia saw it clearly.
One of the boxes fell into the sea and was never found. It might contain the Op-Op Fruit, worth five billion Berries.
One was picked up by an old lady, one by Sengoku, and the last one was picked up by Monkey D. Dragon.
It could be the same as the Fish-Fish Fruit (Mythical Zoan type, Azure Dragon form), the Human-Human Fruit (Mythical Zoan type, Great Buddha form), and Monkey D. Dragon's Devil Fruit from the original work.
"So that's how Devil Fruits are distributed? The one Whitebeard has should be the Bird-Bird Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Phoenix form, and the other one might be the Diamond Fruit."
Lu Renjia didn't care; frankly speaking, these Devil Fruits were only of this level.
What he didn't expect was that the reason for Rocks' failure in God Valley was simply because of his arrogance.
If Roger hadn't stabbed her, perhaps she wouldn't have gotten involved.
Without Roger's help, Garp and his team might not have been able to win on their own.
And it's no wonder that Garp wasn't surprised when he saw Blackbeard become a dual Devil Fruit user during the Marineford War.
It turns out that these older generations had known about users with two Devil Fruit abilities for a long time.
With Whitebeard and Golden Lion gone, barring any unforeseen circumstances...
The next part of the story involves Garp learning Conqueror's Haki Entanglement and teaming up with Roger to defeat Rocks.
Things did indeed turn out exactly as Lu Renjia had imagined.
Upon discovering that Garp was learning Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, Rocks immediately activated Kraken's ability.
It unleashed a massive tsunami, preparing to completely submerge the Valley of the Gods.
Apart from Sengoku, Big Mom, Whitebeard, and others who had evacuated in advance, all the weaker pirates and marines perished at sea.
Because Rocks had fought several times, his stamina eventually gave out.
However, Garp learned Conqueror's Haki Entanglement at a crucial moment, and together with Roger, they defeated Rocks, who was exhausted.
"What a boring battle! I thought it would be exciting, but I just got a free lunch!"
Lu Renjia scoffed.
Just as Rocks was about to be defeated, everything suddenly stopped.
Looking around at the fact that everything had stopped, he exclaimed in disbelief, "What... what is going on?!"
Suddenly everything went black, and a figure landed in front of him.
Lu Renjia sized up Lockes; to be honest, his strength was quite disappointing.
"Who are you?!"
Does it matter who I am? But we'll be meeting again soon anyway. So, I'll borrow your things for a bit.
A gust of wind blew by, and a piece of flesh fell off Rocks' body.
Lu Renjia raised his hand and opened the dimensional barrier, saying calmly, "Well then, see you later."
The moment he stepped through the dimensional barrier, time resumed its flow.
Locke stared strangely at the spot where Lu Renjia had left.
He's about to die, how can I possibly see him again?
He laughed it off and accepted his death.
A tsunami submerged God Valley, but Roger and Garp worked together to break through the tsunami and survive.
The Rocks Pirates, once renowned throughout the seas, fell apart, and Captain Rocks perished at sea.
Therefore, Monkey D. Garp is hailed as a naval hero, taking all the credit for defeating Rocks.
Roger's crew also found two babies, one with red hair and one with blue hair.
Roger named them Shanks and Bucky.
Whitebeard, Shiki, Big Mom, Kaido, and other members of the Rocks Pirates formed their own pirate crews and continued to dominate the seas.
At this time, Lu Renjia returned to the year 1520 of the Haiyuan calendar.
He casually captured several pirates at sea and used them as sacrifices for the Impure World Reincarnation, thus resurrecting Roger, Rocks, Admiral White Tiger, and others.
Let them fight like dogs, that's what Lu Renjia wants to see.
"The Impure World Reincarnation Technique!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the sacrificial offerings were covered with white paper and eventually turned into those people.
Lockes suddenly opened his eyes wide.
"Am I... dead?"
Lu Renjia chuckled softly and said calmly, "Lox, didn't I say we'd meet again soon?"
