On the battlefield.
Rocks and Kong.
On one side stands as the captain of the largest pirate crew in the New World, the most wanted pirate.
On the other side is a Marine Fleet Admiral, the pinnacle of Marines from world goverment side.
The clash between the two is extraordinarily fierce; no one dares to approach within several kilometers of their battle zone.
Anyone who gets too close to their fighting area is either swept away by the shockwaves of their combat, turning into a pile of mangled flesh, or is directly blasted away by the force generated by their clash.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The two continue to collide, amidst the flashing blades and sparks, rocks shatter, and waves of energy surge.
"Kong, is this the best combat strength you bought from the Marines? Seems rather weak!" Rocks grins, attacking verbally even as they engage in battle.
Since establishing the Rocks Pirates, he has been viewed as a thorn in the side of the Marines.
Rocks has long wanted to fight against the Marines' top combatant, intending to kill him as a stepping stone to reach the pinnacle.
Though the opponent's strength is formidable, it does not leave Rocks in awe.
In his view, even Bob could defeat Kong with ease.
"Your strength isn't much better, is it?" Kong snorts coldly, his fists creating blinding sparks as they clash against Rocks' blade.
Yet, while he doesn't voice it, his heart is filled with shock.
For Rocks' strength is far beyond what he had imagined.
Even though it seems like they are evenly matched at the moment, Kong knows deep down that he is under immense pressure; every strike from Rocks forces him to give his all. This sense of oppression is something he has never truly felt from anyone else.
"Oh really! Your fists are not as tough as your mouth! If this is all the strength you have, you might as well go back and be a coach for your Marines!" Rocks laughs disdainfully.
As soon as he finishes speaking, the black Haki on Rocks' Supreme Great Blade quickly takes on a layer of red.
His momentum surges once more, shooting skyward.
The clouds above, which had gathered together, are now scattered, forming a circular void in the center, revealing the azure sky.
Not only that, but Rocks also covers his arms with Armament Haki.
Instantly, his bronze-colored arms turn pitch black, with a fiery red glow swirling between them.
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar erupts, like a giant beast roaring from the abyss, striking at the heart.
In the moment of collision with Kong, Rocks swings his Great Blade.
Kong is sent flying backward by the tremendous force, taking a while to regain his footing using his skills.
But a gash appears on his arm, starkly visible.
Blood drips continuously, the red against his black arm is strikingly vivid.
However, Kong pays no mind to the injury on his arm, his eyes fixed intently on Rocks in the distance.
The next moment.
Kong sinks down, his momentum reaching its peak.
The black and red energy swirls around his fists, intertwining, as his entire form expands, his clothes tearing apart.
His muscles, as hard as iron, bulge on his arms, legs, and back, appearing even darker under the light.
Both Armament Haki and Observation Haki activate simultaneously.
The explosive power contained within him is unleashed at this moment.
"Hundred Kills – Sunset!!"
A deep voice resonates.
The next moment.
"Boom!!"
A massive crater forms beneath Kong feet as he launches forward, shooting straight toward his opponent like a bolt of black lightning.
Seeing this, Rocks' lips curl into a slight smile.
"Now this is getting interesting!"
In an instant.
The black Conqueror Haki coils around the Great Blade, like black flames scorching the weapon.
As Kong rushes in at high speed, Rocks does not retreat but instead advances, raising his Great Blade.
His figure vanishes from the spot.
The next instant.
"Bang!!"
Before the two even collide, a violent explosion reverberates through the air.
The surrounding ground cannot withstand the shockwaves from their attacks, cracking apart inch by inch.
Both of their auras have now reached their zenith.
A visible black energy sphere appears, expanding violently, enveloping the entire Valley of the Gods in an instant.
The terrifying force sweeps across the Valley of the Gods.
The entire valley shakes as if an earthquake has struck.
"Clang!!"
Two bolts of black lightning collide, and in the blink of an eye, one figure is sent flying away.
The next second, this figure crashes into the ground, causing a thunderous uproar.
Whether Marine or pirate, all eyes turn toward that direction.
From a massive crater nearly fifty meters wide, Kong crawls out.
His clothes are tattered, his face covered in dust, and a wound on his abdomen seeps blood, with black energy swirling around it.
"Fleet Admiral Kong!"
"How is this possible? How could Fleet Admiral Kong be defeated so quickly?"
"Damn it, Fleet Admiral Kong is injured, our Marine strength has taken a huge hit. What do we do now!"
Seeing Kong emerge from the pit, the hearts of the Marines plummet like stones.
As the highest combat strength of the Marines, he had long been considered the backbone of this battle, yet this very existence has fallen into a disadvantage against Rocks.
This is undoubtedly a massive blow to Marine morale.
"It seems... he is much stronger than I imagined!" Kong controls his Haki, wiping away the black energy from his wound, murmuring as he looks at Rocks.
"Kong-san!" Garp, Sengoku, and other high-ranking Marines shout.
Sengoku face darkens, he never expected Rocks to be this powerful, inflicting injury on Fleet Admiral Kong in such a short time.
He knows they can no longer wait, Rocks' strength cannot be resisted by one person alone, and if this continues, they may very well be killed.
Sengoku turns to Garp, whose expression is grim.
"Garp!"
"Now is the time for you to unleash your fury!"
"Go assist Fleet Admiral Kong, don't fight to the death, wait for reinforcements!"
Upon hearing this, Garp lowers his head and strides toward the battlefield, whispering to Sengoku as he passes.
"Sengoku, I am very angry!"
Garp eyes redden, his shoulders shake, and the symbol of justice falls to the ground, revealing his white vest beneath, showcasing his muscular physique.
The ferocious and mighty power surges skyward!
"Boom!"
The hard rocks collapse with a thunderous crash, the Marine Garp.
He charges into battle!
