Chapter 105: The Death of the Navy Admiral

"Die, Rocks!!!"

The four of them, Steel Bone Kong and his allies, relentlessly attacked Rocks, yet they couldn't land a fatal blow. Their strategy was to deplete Rocks' stamina and Haki, waiting for the perfect moment to strike him down.

"Hahaha, I am invincible!" Rocks shouted, matching their madness. He often charged in recklessly, trading blows and injuries with his enemies.

"Kill!!!"

Seeing Rocks appear, the pirates' morale soared, launching into battle with renewed vigor. The officers of the Rocks Pirates followed suit, appearing to fight fiercely, but in reality, they were biding their time.

They were waiting for the aerial battle to reach a conclusion. If the navy won, the Rocks Pirates' officers would retreat. If Rocks emerged victorious, the navy would face the onslaught of the Rocks Pirates.

The sky battle raged on for three days and nights.

"Die, Rocks!!"

"Sluggish Ray!!"

In a critical moment when Rocks was hit by White Ghost's sluggish ghost, Black seized the opportunity and struck Rocks with a sluggish ray!

Originally, Black, like Steel Bone Kong, was purely a martial artist and Haki user. However, after losing to Rocks eleven years ago and the death of a navy admiral, Black consumed the Paramecia-type Sluggish Fruit.

For eleven years, he honed this Devil Fruit's powers, waiting for the day he could kill Rocks. He concealed this power until now, when it was finally revealed!

"Self-Destruct Ghost!"

"Bone Fist: Star Shatter!"

"Annihilation Strike!"

As the sluggish ray hit Rocks, the other three powerhouses unleashed their most formidable attacks in unison.

Yet, just as everyone believed Rocks was restrained by Black's sluggish fruit, Rocks remained unaffected, even bursting forth with greater strength and speed.

In an instant, he appeared before Black, who tried to evade, but Rocks' right hand produced a black vortex like a black hole, pulling Black towards him.

Instinctively, Black attempted to use his Devil Fruit power, but found it ineffective!

Ensnared by darkness and gripped by Rocks' hand, Black was as helpless as a chick.

"Splurt!!!!"

In the next moment, Rocks' left hand pierced Black's heart with his Asura Sword!

"Yami Yami no Mi..."

It wasn't until his dying moment that Black realized Rocks had also consumed a Devil Fruit, specifically the Logia-type Yami Yami no Mi. This fruit nullified other Devil Fruit abilities!

For years, no one knew Rocks was a Devil Fruit user until now, at the cost of Navy Admiral Black's life!

They thought four against one would be sufficient to kill Rocks. Up until the last moment, they believed victory was theirs. But then, Navy Admiral Black was killed!

Faced with Rocks' sudden surge of power, Steel Bone Kong and the others instinctively tried to distance themselves.

"Bang!!!!"

At that moment, a bullet appeared at CP0 Chief White Ghost's side. Despite being just one bullet, it carried a deadly threat. White Ghost immediately turned his body into a ghostly state, immune to physical attacks.

Even bullets imbued with Armament Haki couldn't fully damage him in this form. But as White Ghost turned ghostly, Rocks' dark power enveloped him, nullifying his ghost abilities and revealing his physical form.

"Crack!!!"

The bullet struck White Ghost's temple. Even though he covered his head with Armament Haki, the bullet, empowered by the Paramecia-type Penetration Fruit, advanced Armament Haki, and a top-tier sniper rifle, pierced through his defense, destroying his brain.

Thus, the CP0 Chief died to the bullet of Deadshot Leondona!

Far away, Deadshot Leondona stroked his sniper rifle with satisfaction. Rocks had awaited this rifle's delivery to Leondona before making his move!

"Run!!!"

In the blink of an eye, two of the four admiral-level powerhouses died, leaving the remaining two no choice but to flee!

"Wahahahaha, you're not getting away!"

Rocks, having revealed his Devil Fruit power, intended to slaughter them. He caught one of the two fleeing, specifically Army General Sora.

He let Steel Bone Kong escape since he was a pure martial artist and Haki user, making him hard to kill.

"Kill!!!"

The Rocks Pirates' officers, who had been fighting while watching the sky battle, witnessed Rocks displaying his Devil Fruit power and killing two admiral-level powerhouses. They went all out, determined to defeat their opponents.

Rocks' display of new, powerful capabilities deeply shocked the officers. They thought they were closing in on Rocks' level but realized they hadn't seen his true peak strength.

Even Golden Lion Shiki, who had been contemplating leaving the Rocks Pirates, reconsidered. He decided not to act on his thoughts until he neared Rocks' strength.

"Retreat, quickly!!"

With the Navy Admiral dead, the navy dared not continue fighting the Rocks Pirates. Their forces collapsed, and the fortress was swiftly overtaken by pirates.

The top-tier forces, retreating while fighting, avoided direct confrontation with the Rocks Pirates' officers. Steam King Hamadi, who had been battling Li Yuan, transformed into steam and fled, ceasing his fight.

"Life Return: Limb Enhancement!!"

As Steam King Hamadi retreated, Li Yuan activated his strongest form, muscles swelling with veins bulging.

"Three-Step Shave!!"

He burst forward at his fastest speed, but not towards Steam King Hamadi. Instead, he targeted the retreating Tyrannosaurus Kaweh.

"Wuji Great Swordsman Li Yuan!!"

Seeing Li Yuan suddenly appear before him, Tyrannosaurus Kaweh instinctively sensed extreme danger and tried to evade. Yet, Li Yuan's speed was too great!

"Wuji: Cross Evil Slash!!!"

At peak speed, Li Yuan unleashed his full power, the Seven Star Sword releasing two 500-meter-long cross evil slashes, striking Tyrannosaurus Kaweh with tremendous speed and impact.

"Tyrano Impact!!"

With no time to think, Tyrannosaurus Kaweh transformed into his full Tyrannosaurus form, covering his dragon head with Armament Haki, and charged into the oncoming cross evil slash.

"Boom!!!!"

Though the cross evil slashes didn't deal much damage, their force and impact sent the full Tyrannosaurus flying.

"Whitebeard!!!"

The direction Tyrannosaurus Kaweh was sent flying led directly to Whitebeard.

"Gurararara, Quake Punch!!"

Upon hearing Li Yuan's call, Whitebeard forced Sengoku back and delivered a full-force punch to the incoming Tyrannosaurus Kaweh.

"Crack!!!!"

Whitebeard's punch engulfed Kaweh with tremors, causing his internal organs to bleed. Kaweh was sent flying again, this time towards Golden Lion Shiki.

"Shiki!!!!"

Whitebeard shouted once more.

"Jeeraharara!!"

"Lion's Threat: Thousand Cut Valley!!!"

Golden Lion laughed, seeing Kaweh flying towards him. He slashed both his swords, Yama and Kogarashi, summoning a 300-meter-tall water lion from the sea to attack Kaweh.

"Tempest Kick: Impact Break!!"

Facing the water lion, Kaweh endured his pain and unleashed a barrage of slashes, dispersing the water lion.

However, just as Kaweh used Tempest Kick, Li Yuan appeared above him.

"Life Return: Limb Extreme Enhancement!!"

With Kaweh suspended over the sea, Li Yuan wasted no time, activating his strongest form, which he could maintain for only five seconds!

"Wuji: Cross Evil Slash!!"

Again, the cross evil slash, but this time the slash extended 800 meters long. The massive attack descended from the sky, tearing through the air, leaving Kaweh no chance to react, striking his Tyrannosaurus form.

"No!!!"

Seeing the powerful slash upon him, Kaweh desperately used Moonwalk to resist the downward force, but to no avail.
