When Rocks discovered there were no other powerhouses on the island, he sat down leisurely on the prow of the ship.
At the same time, he eased his mind.
He wondered why the Navy hadn't set a trap for him.
In truth, his reasoning was correct; it wasn't that the Navy hadn't considered setting a trap, but they lacked the sufficient strength to wipe them out in one fell swoop.
After all, the Rocks Pirates had reached their peak, and they could not be eliminated by just three or four admirals.
It would take at least ten or more admiral-level powerhouses gathered together to have any possibility of destroying the Rocks Pirates.
The Navy did not yet have the perfect opportunity, so naturally, they would not waste their manpower in vain.
As for Admiral Snow Lion, the moment he was discovered by Rocks, it became impossible for him to leave the New World alive.
This was because the Rocks Pirates had not been idle during this time; they had systematically cleared out every Navy branch, large and small, throughout the New World.
Now, the only remaining Navy branch in the New World was the one located near Fish-Man Island at the entrance.
"Boom, boom, boom!"
On the battlefield, Tyr was moving at incredible speed, constantly throwing punches amidst the giant lions.
"Gahahahaha!"
Shiki stood in mid-air, his face twisted as he let out a maniacal laugh.
"With your level of strength, even touching me is nothing but a pipe dream."
He manipulated one stone lion after another to charge at Tyr, each one possessing an incredibly powerful force.
"Huff... huff..."
This won't work; my stamina will run out, Tyr whispered, panting heavily as he stood in mid-air. He couldn't help but lament in his heart that Shiki was truly formidable.
I have no choice but to risk it all.
"Blast Fist!"
Tyr gritted his teeth, his face contorted with ferocity. He stomped his feet hard against the air and began to spin, resembling a high-speed top. He smashed through several stone lions in succession, closing the distance until he was right in front of Shiki.
"Shiki, take this!"
Seeing Tyr charging at him, Shiki showed no fear and flew forward to meet the attack head-on.
"I am the Golden Lion!"
Shiki swung his twin blades toward Tyr.
"Cross Slash Wave!"
"BOOM!"
A deafening roar erupted, causing blood to leak from the ears of the weaker pirates present.
The sky cracked, the earth trembled, and the people on the ground were sent flying in disarray. Those standing too close had their bodies torn apart by the shockwave, turning into mists of blood, while those further away were blown hundreds of meters back. A vacuum zone spanning hundreds of meters appeared at the center of the collision.
The battlefield, which had been in chaos just a second before, fell into instant, deathly silence.
Soldiers and pirates alike stared at the center of the battlefield, dumbfounded.
As the brilliant sunlight shone through, everyone gradually caught sight of the center: Shiki stood where he was, while Tyr lay in a deep crater, his life or death unknown.
"Pfft!"
A faint sound emerged.
Tyr slowly pulled himself to his feet.
"I never imagined I would still fail to protect my kingdom."
"Why must there be pirates in this world?"
Tyr said, his body covered in wounds and his head drenched in blood.
"Gahahahaha!"
"Who knows?"
Shiki rummaged through his blood-stained clothes, pulled out a half-broken cigar, and placed it in his mouth. He raised his sword, gently touching it to the cigar to light it. He took a deep drag, exhaled a ring of smoke, and revealed a satisfied smile—a cigar after a battle was pure bliss.
This was possible because the intense collision between the two had left the blade glowing red-hot.
"That's a question you should go ask the Celestial Dragons."
"Gahahahaha!"
With the cigar dangling from his mouth, Shiki strode toward Tyr.
"Goodbye!"
Shiki swung his long sword toward Tyr's neck.
"No, stop!"
As Golden Lion's longsword swept across Tyr's neck, a voice filled with fury erupted from behind him.
Golden Lion turned his head to see Giles sprinting toward him.
"You really look down on me, don't you?"
"Daring to get distracted in the middle of a fight."
Elbaf Spear!
Charlotte Linlin, seeing Giles abandon their duel to rush toward Tyr, felt a surge of irritation.
"Rip!"
Giles failed to dodge the attack; a powerful wave of energy tore his body clean in two.
His upper torso was sent flying, landing right beside Tyr.
"I never thought our dream would end like this... we even talked about building up Tyr's kingdom together."
"Urgh!"
Giles reached out with his only remaining left hand, crawling inch by inch toward Tyr.
"Just one last step to go..."
Just as his hand was about to touch Tyr, the light in his eyes quietly faded.
"Thud!"
With a soft sound, his hand fell limply to the ground.
"Gurararara!"
"Since you've all finished your fights, I suppose I'd better pick up the pace."
"Quake Shock!"
Newgate immediately accelerated his offensive.
"Damn you, Rocks Pirates!"
"Why did you have to come to our country?"
Cthulhu roared, his eyes brimming with tears.
"Boom!"
Newgate did not reply, merely intensifying the force of his strikes in silence; he knew he had no answer to that question.
The soldiers on the scene suddenly snapped to their senses and immediately engaged the pirates once more. In their eyes, as long as their strategist Cthulhu was still alive, they still had the faith to keep fighting.
"Boom—boom—boom—"
Just then, Carl was sent flying through several mountain peaks by Admiral Snow Lion.
"Pfft!"
Carl stood up immediately, spitting out the stagnant blood from her chest.
She looked up toward Admiral Snow Lion.
The Admiral had fully transformed, becoming a white lion several dozen meters tall.
"Then I shall test out my newly comprehended skill."
In the heat of battle, Carl's control over her bloodline power had deepened; by stimulating it, she could transform her body into a true Titan.
"Thump—thump—thump..."
The sound of massive heartbeats echoed through the air.
Carl swung her fists, pounding them repeatedly against the ground as her body slowly expanded into a thirty-meter-tall Titan giant.
Her shoulders were like rolling mountain ranges, her waistline comparable to a small human runway, and her skin glowed with a golden hue as if bathed in sunlight, giving off a mysterious and solemn aura.
"Power is surging forth!"
"This is the Titan Power!"
A deep, rumbling voice emanated from the giant.
"Gahaha!"
Carl clenched her fists and turned her gaze toward Snow Lion.
"You should feel honored; you are the first to experience my Titan Form."
"Whoosh!"
Carl swung her massive fist, the air screaming like a speeding train.
"Is that Carl?"
"Is this the Titan Power?"
Charlotte Linlin had already finished her fight and witnessed the entire process of Carl's transformation, leaving her feeling quite shocked.
"Mamamama!"
"How wonderful, such powerful bloodline energy."
Charlotte Linlin said, slowly stroking her belly. She could clearly sense three lives gestating within her. The life force radiating from each little one far exceeded that of a normal child, and one had to remember that her three children were still only embryos.
"Truly incredible!"
"Bang!"
Newgate blocked Cthulhu's side kick with his right hand.
"Newgate, where are you looking?"
"Are you looking down on me, getting distracted while fighting me?"
"Gurararara!"
"Let's go again."
"Is it Joy Boy? It's not just a little similar."
"When will I finally be able to wait for Joy Boy?"
Far away on the other side of the New World, Zunesha let out a low, rumbling cry. In Zunesha's perception, although this heartbeat was also very powerful, it was not Joy Boy.
"The time has not yet come."
"The promised time has not yet arrived."
In the Calm Belt, deep beneath the sea, giant Sea Kings thousands to tens of thousands of meters long could be seen everywhere.
One of them, with a massive yellow head measuring a hundred thousand meters in size, spoke in a low voice.
"It is not yet time for the Poseidon to emerge."
The other three giant Sea Kings of similar size nearby nodded in agreement.
"Has there been some sort of change?"
"Sun God Joy Boy, I have waited for you for a very long time."
In Mary Geoise, after a voice echoed from the room where Imu slept, the entire chamber instantly fell into absolute silence once more.
Carl did not know that the moment he transformed into his Titan Form, the sound of his massive heartbeat had drawn the attention of so many top-tier powerhouses across the world.
"Wow, wow, wow!"
"Is that Lord Carl?"
On the edge of the battlefield, Long Yi and Long Er looked up at the colossal giant, speaking with excitement, stars shining in their eyes.
"Is this Carl's true form?"
"Jiehahaha!"
"This is getting even more interesting."
Shiki stood in mid-air, laughing wildly. The stronger Carl's power was, the greater the chance he had of breaking away from the Rocks Pirates.
"Hahaha!"
"Carl, you have quite a few secrets, don't you?"
Rocks could feel Carl's life force rising continuously, far from reaching its limit, yet it was still a long way off compared to his own.
