Black Flag Black Death

"I want his blood!"

Seeing the eager look in Rocks's eyes, Houka had no intention of doing it himself.

However, he still reminded Rocks not to smash his prey into pieces.

"Then I'll see just how strong his Rokushiki is!"

Rocks gave a brutal grin, leaped straight off the Flying Warship, and headed straight for Black Flag Black.

"He's coming!!"

Black Flag Black, who was in the middle of slaughtering the crew of the Ochoku Pirates, felt that terrifying, shocking aura.

This was the World's Worst Pirate who had finished off Admiral Walker!

Back when Rocks invaded the Holy Land of Mary Geoise and disrupted the Reverie, Admiral Walker, the strongest combat power of the Navy, had actually been reduced to a mere speed bump for Rocks, nearly killed in an instant.

No one knew exactly how strong Rocks was!

Whether he could infiltrate the Rocks Pirates or not would depend entirely on his acting skills.

Black Flag Black cleanly and efficiently finished off a pirate, staring expressionlessly at the rushing Rocks.

His current identity was that of an unruly pirate rookie; he could not show too much fear or reveal any flaws.

"Wahahaha! Black Flag Black, let me see your swordsmanship!"

Rocks slashed toward Black, his eyes filled with a playful light.

"Rocks! Then let me see the power of the world's strongest pirate too!!"

Black fully committed to the persona of an unruly pirate, gritting his teeth and swinging his blade upward with a do-or-die attitude.

However, the next moment.

Black Flag Black's longsword was shattered in a single blow by Rocks's Xebec's Sword.

Under the terrifying force of Rocks's Cannonball Sword Technique, Black Flag Black instantly vomited blood and flew backward, crashing into the ruins of a building.

Black was horrified; the tearing sensation of the intense pain radiating through his body made him feel as if he had almost died.

Why was it like this!

Could it be that the Rocks Pirates were no longer recruiting?

Why was the attack so ruthless!

Damn it, was he really going to follow in Ochoku's footsteps today and die on Elysium Island?

"Tsk tsk, you can't even block a single blow?"

"Back then, Newgate's bounty was only over 100 million, and Xiong's was only 300 million, yet they both blocked a blow from me."

"And you, with a current bounty of 444 million Beli, can't even block this? You're a bit trashy."

Rocks appeared above the ruins, grabbed Black by the head, and hauled him out.

He specifically examined Black Flag Black's hands.

It was indeed as Houka had said; the calluses on this master swordsman's hands were subpar, though a few of his fingers were unexpectedly thick.

"Captain Rocks is truly the world's strongest pirate; who in this sea is your match..."

"It was my own overestimation of my abilities..."

Blood spilled from Black Flag Black's nose and mouth, but seeing that Rocks hadn't killed him immediately and was actually talking to him, he felt he still had a chance to go undercover in the Rocks Pirates.

He immediately put on an expression that was both unruly and worshipful of Rocks.

"Using a sword isn't your strong suit; let me see your martial arts!"

"Use your full strength, or you will die!"

Rocks gave a savage grin and tossed Black to the ground.

He plunged Xebec's Sword into the ground beside him, waiting empty-handed for Black's attack.

Is this the entrance exam?

Black Flag Black endured the excruciating pain and stood up. According to previous intelligence, Golden Lion Shiki, Silver Axe Xiong, and the Steel Balloon Charlotte Linlin had indeed all been beaten up by Rocks.

Whether he could win Rocks's approval depended on this test.

But his specialty was Rokushiki; what move should he use to attack Rocks?

"Captain Rocks, my specialty is swordsmanship..."

"I apologize that it didn't meet your standards."

Black Flag Black dared not expose his Rokushiki, so he could only stick to his 'Way of the Sword.'

"Then why not use Rokushiki? Looking at your fingers, you must be pretty good at Shigan."

The next moment, Rocks's words caused Black Flag Black to freeze in an instant.

Endless terror completely overwhelmed this CP0 agent.

He had actually been exposed!

Was the observation of a brute like Rocks truly this sharp?

No, it was those Blood Shadow Bats from earlier testing him!

Damn it! The sudden attack of those Blood Shadow Bats had made him instinctively use Kami-e to dodge and Tekkai to defend.

So, he had been exposed in Houka's eyes all along.

The vice-captain and chief strategist of the Rocks Pirates was truly terrifying.

With Rocks' immense strength and Houka's peerless wisdom, it seemed the World Government was about to face an unprecedented enemy.

"Wahahaha! Are you scared stupid already?"

"Houka said your disguise class was a failure, and now it seems you're failing psychology, too."

Rocks grinned, his disgust for this CP agent growing. He had genuinely appreciated Black Flag Black as an up-and-coming pirate.

But it turned out this was all a conspiracy against him!

"Captain Rocks, I'm not..."

Under the fear of death, Black still wanted to struggle.

But Rocks grabbed Black's finger and snapped it clean off.

"Ah!!"

Black screamed instantly, falling to his knees before Rocks, trembling.

"A lapdog of the World Government, practicing Rokushiki instead of Haki!"

"Aside from your disguise and psychology classes, your strength is also a failure!"

Ignoring Black's screams, Rocks grabbed him by the shoulder, the sound of bones shattering echoing through the air.

Rocks then violently hurled the screaming Black toward the Flying Warship.

"Damn CP agent, wasting so much of my time!"

Rocks was extremely annoyed; he had originally intended for Black Flag Black to replace the Pirate Patriarch Ochoku on his crew.

But now, both of them had become Houka's prey.

Rocks drew the Sword of Xebec and began wandering around Elysium Island.

He planned to make Elysium Island his first territory, intending to plant the Rocks Pirates' flag here first.

The Pirate Patriarch Ochoku and Elysium Island still held considerable fame in the New World.

But now, they were all going to become stepping stones for the Rocks Pirates!

Aboard the Flying Warship, the Sword of Xebec.

Houka flicked his finger, using his Gravity Ability to catch Black Flag Black, who had been beaten half-dead by Rocks.

"Tsk tsk, the World Government's tactics really lack originality."

Without hesitation, Houka drove the Seven-Star Sword into Black Flag Black's other shoulder.

"Are there any other CP agents on this island?"

"I trust there is someone else responsible for meeting up with you, right?"

Houka felt it would be perfect if a few more Vice Admirals or elite CP0 agents were to show up.

"You!!"

Black Flag Black felt as if everything about him had been seen through by Houka. How could this be?

"It seems there really is more cargo!"

Houka efficiently activated the Blood Shadow Bats to consume Black Flag Black's blood, crippling his legs and completely draining his vitality and willpower.

He intended to use the Seven-Star Sword to control Black Flag Black, first extracting the locations of the other CP0 agents, then rounding them all up to turn them into his food.

Soon, the half-dead Black Flag Black had his mind invaded by the Seven-Star Sword, revealing the hiding spots of the other two CP0 agents.

"Ahahaha, Newgate, Linlin, come with me to catch some rats!!"

Houka finished consuming Black Flag Black's blood in an instant, taking his two bodyguards, Newgate and Linlin, to eliminate the hidden threats and slap the World Government in the face.

And while he was at it, he would secure some benefits for himself!
