"I need to learn more about the Dark-Dark Fruit!"
"Find his weaknesses as thoroughly as possible."
Ares understood that if he wanted to defeat his opponent, he first had to understand him.
It proved the saying: Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles!
Rocks was the strongest opponent he had ever encountered. Even Count Red, Redfield, could not compare.
Although Count Red's swordsmanship was superb, it did not give Ares as strong a sense of danger as the Dark-Dark Fruit did.
Once again, images so real they felt tangible surfaced in his mind. The scenes began replaying frame by frame, and Ares focused all his attention on them.
Through his "cheat," Ares had gained a better understanding of Rocks, but to learn more, he had to keep fighting Rocks.
Only through relentless battle.
Could he understand his opponent better.

It was a weapon that could rival a Famous Sword!!
"Swordless Style—Hades—Sword of Holy Authority!"

As the dragon tail came down like a sword, blinding light suddenly appeared in the sky, illuminating everyone's pupils.
Everyone was completely shaken by this dazzling Sword Qi that surpassed all others beneath heaven.
It made even heaven and earth lose their color!
The Sword Qi rang out like metal, unleashing a startling azure radiance. It resembled a rainbow splitting the sky as it slashed toward Rocks.
Compared to the massive Sword Qi stretching over a hundred meters, Rocks's two-meter-plus frame looked utterly insignificant.
Faced with the incomparably sharp slash,
Hum—
His arm completed its Armament Haki hardening in an instant. Golden radiance flashed across his fist. There were none of Ares's knotted muscles
