World Destroyer

In the New World's Brant Sea, facing the Conqueror's ship from a hundred meters away, a massive three-masted sailboat floated quietly on the sea.

A tall man with long green hair and a beard, wearing a captain's coat, gazed fiercely at the opposing Rocks.

As he saw Rocks, a shorter man exclaimed in shock, "V-Vard! Yes, it's Rocks over there! We should retreat quickly!" Vard turned his head and glanced at the frail, petite man with an IV drip. "Bing, Jack! I'm Captain Vard; there's no way I'll run!"

Vard muttered angrily, then looked at the enormous giant, Sebastian, who controlled the ship's helm.

"Sebastian! Get the ship closer for me! Sink them!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Gyelram, point all the cannons at them for me!"

"Understood, Captain Vard!"

"Hahaha! Take them down!"

"Captain Vard, lead the way!" Vard's unstoppable momentum infected the pirates on the ship, and they, too, became excited.

"Crush anyone who stands in my way!"

"Full speed, Momo!"

"Whoosh!" With a bang, Vard instantly disappeared from his ship, appearing above Rocks' head.

"Momo Hundredfold Slash!" The scythe he held in his hand instantly grew a hundred times larger, becoming enormous. With a swing of his arms, it thundered toward the Conqueror's ship below.

Seeing the enormous scythe descending, the pirates on the Conqueror's ship panicked.

"Quick, quick! They've initiated an attack! Everyone, retaliate!"

"All gunners, prepare to aim at the enemy pirate ship! Sink them!"

"Ah! We're going to die!" Watching the panicking pirates on the ship, Rocks paid them no mind. He slowly drew his black sword, Crescent Moon, from his waist.

"What a rabid dog, biting anyone he sees!" He exerted force with his legs, jumping up into the air above the chaotic sea. He swung his sword fiercely to meet the enormous scythe descending towards him.

"Boom!" Their powers clashed, and an eruptive wave of energy swept across the sea below them. The giant waves surged, and the Conqueror and Vard's pirate ship, the Gelasgiadi, rocked violently in the enormous waves.

"Ah!"

"Quick, stabilize the ship! Don't let it capsize!"

"Secure all cannons!" The pirates on both ships were struggling in the turbulent waves, and the cannons injured some of the careless ones.

Barbossa and Ruth walked out from the ship's cabin, holding onto the ship's rails as they looked at Vard locked in a fierce battle with Rocks.

"Meeting Bondy Vard, that crazy dog, in this place!" Barbossa sighed when he saw Vard. In this stretch of sea, almost no one wanted to encounter that rabid dog who bites anyone he sees.

"Bondy Vard? The one with the title of World Destroyer?" Ruth looked at the man fighting fiercely in the air with Rocks and exclaimed in surprise.

"Ah, yes, that's the World Destroyer. I expected to avoid encountering him here. But don't worry. Although that guy has a formidable reputation, we can leave it to Rocks."

"Curses! That jerk has disrupted my plans!" Ruth bit her handkerchief, staring hatefully at Vard. Above the sea, Rocks was locked in a fierce battle with Vard.

Rocks didn't expect that right after their first meeting, the other party would go all out. It was an unbeatable approach without any room for negotiation.

Rocks deflected Vard's giant scythe, then slightly sidestepped to avoid Vard's hammering fist. He then swung a massive black crescent moon down towards Vard.

"Crescent Sky Rush!"

"Ha!" Vard snorted as he suddenly disappeared from Rocks' sight and reappeared at his side.

"Momo Fiftyfold Punch!" His enormous fist, covered in a thick Haki aura, approached Rocks' face with supersonic speed.

"Ugh!" Due to the incredible speed, even though Rocks' Observation Haki had detected Vard's presence beforehand, his body didn't react fast enough. He had to use Crescent Moon hastily to block.

The result was evident. Under Vard's heavy punch, Rocks was sent flying.

"Rocks!" Seeing Rocks being sent flying, Ruth exclaimed in shock, gripping the ship's rail with both hands, ready to rush out. This was the open sea, and it would be troublesome if Rocks were knocked into the ocean.

Rocks sent flying, shook his head to stabilize his consciousness, then emitted an invisible gravitational wave from his body.

While being sent flying, he stabilized himself under this gravity wave, floating in mid-air. "It lives up to the title of World Destroyer. His peak strength is indeed frightening."

Rocks muttered to himself, then quickly flew towards Vard. Vard, with a fierce look, pulled out a cannonball from his waist and threw it towards Rocks.

The initially small cannonball, enhanced by Vard's Momo Fruit ability, broke through the sound barrier, growing larger during its flight until it was the size of a small ship. It hurtled towards the rocks.

Rocks tightly gripped Crescent Moon and Ann's sword in both hands. His expression remained calm.

"Gravity Blade: Abyss!"
