Pirates: Blood Feud-Kill Every Celestial Dragon!

Immediately afterward, everything happened one after another exactly as Rono had foreseen!

"Interesting... As expected of a technique that can only be comprehended through Top-Tier Observation Haki."

Rono could not help sighing at how useful Observation Haki's Future Sight truly was.

In terms of sheer impressiveness, perhaps the Voice of All Things was far superior to briefly seeing the future.

But in terms of its enhancement to combat, Future Sight completely crushed the Voice of All Things!

"The Celestial Dragons must die. Not a single one of them is getting away!"

Furious flames flickered in Rono's eyes. Nineteen Celestial Dragons!

Whether or not you were supposedly gods, not a single one of you was going to survive this time!

"Hm? Someone's coming! Rocks sent someone to find me!"

Soon, Rono's Observation Haki with Future Sight foresaw another brief glimpse of the future.

In a moment, someone would appear outside the room and tell him that Rocks was summoning the commanders again.

Sure enough, a voice soon came from outside Rono's room.

"Commander Rono, Captain Rocks is calling for you."

"I'll be there right away."

Rono tidied himself up, then went to see Rocks.

On the way, Rono discovered that Whitebeard, Shiki, Silver Axe, Ochoku, and the other Division Commanders had already arrived.

"We just dispersed, and now he's calling us back again. What does Captain Rocks want?"

Shiki could not help complaining under his breath.

"Who knows? Maybe there's some new information," John guessed from the side.

"Perhaps the captain changed the plan?" Silver Axe also began to speculate.

Whitebeard, Ochoku, and the others all shook their heads, equally unaware of why Rocks had summoned them again.

"He's going to teach us a technique—Conqueror's Haki Coating!"

Just then, Rono smiled faintly. He had already seen that brief glimpse of the future.

In a moment, Rocks would appear here and demonstrate Conqueror's Haki Coating for them.

"How do you know..." Several of the other Division Commanders looked at him in confusion.

As soon as those words left his mouth, a swift figure suddenly appeared before them like a phantom.

"I called you here to show you Conqueror's Haki Coating once more!"

Rocks swept his gaze over everyone before speaking.

"Rono... how did you know?"

The moment Rocks finished speaking, all the commanders abruptly turned their faces toward Rono!

Their eyes held confusion, shock, and speculation!

How had this guy known why the captain had summoned them?

Could Rocks have told him in advance?

"Oh? Interesting. Have you awakened Observation Haki's Future Sight?"

Rocks understood at once. After all, he had also heard what Rono had said just now.

"Future Sight? A special kind of Observation Haki?"

Upon hearing Rocks's words, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Silver Axe, Ochoku, John, and Charlotte Linlin were all startled.

They had heard of this advanced form of Observation Haki. The problem was that awakening it required devoting nearly all one's energy to cultivating Observation Haki.

With the ambitions of these monsters, it was impossible for them to devote all their energy to painstakingly training Observation Haki.

They still had to cultivate Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, Swordsmanship, and various other abilities.

The way everyone looked at Rono changed once again.

After all, Rono was also a powerhouse who had cultivated Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, and Swordsmanship to formidable levels.

Yet he had awakened Future Sight ahead of them. Everyone was extremely envious.

This guy's talent was truly monstrous.

"Last time, I taught you Conqueror's Haki Coating. Have you learned it yet?"

Rocks then spoke, turning his gaze toward the commanders other than Rono.

At that, only Whitebeard and Golden Lion remained completely unfazed under Rocks's gaze.

It was obvious that the two of them had already more or less mastered it.

Silver Axe, John, Ochoku, and Charlotte Linlin lowered their heads somewhat sheepishly.

Rocks had taught them six months ago, yet they still had not learned it.

It could not entirely be blamed on them. This sort of thing required talent.

Clearly, Whitebeard and Shiki's talents far surpassed those of Silver Axe, Ochoku, Charlotte Linlin, and the others.

"I'll teach it once more. Watch carefully."

Perhaps he had anticipated this result long ago. Rocks did not blame them. Instead, he turned his gaze toward Rono.

This time, Rono was his main target.

If Rono could learn Conqueror's Haki Coating before the great battle, it would greatly benefit the Rocks Pirates.

Actually, Rocks had wanted to teach Rono Conqueror's Haki Coating long ago, but he had been away from Hachinosu for the past three months.

However, given Rono's talent, it should not be too late to teach him now.

"Conqueror's Haki Coating and Armament Haki's Ryuo are actually similar in certain ways."

"Both can destroy an enemy from the inside!"

"However, Conqueror's Haki Coating is superior to Ryuo in that..."

"First, it can strike from a distance without needing to touch the enemy!"

"Second, it greatly amplifies the power, multiplying it several times over!"

With that, Rocks released Conqueror's Haki.

A dark-red wave of energy coiled around his right hand, radiating terrifying power.

Rocks threw a punch at a massive boulder dozens of meters tall a hundred meters away.

Boom!

Despite being a hundred meters away, the boulder exploded and shattered with a thunderous crash!

That was not all. Terrifying waves of energy spread out from the boulder as their center, leaving a shocking crater in the ground!

Chapter 40: Conqueror's Coating! The Rocks Pirates Attack! The Great Battle Begins

"Just as expected of Captain Rocks!"

Seeing this, everyone present turned their heads slightly.

Conqueror's Haki Coating was the highest-level application of Conqueror's Haki.

Its power and destructive force surpassed those of Armament Haki's Ryuo by several times.

One could say that only by possessing Conqueror's Haki Coating did one qualify to reach the pinnacle of combat power.

[Ding~ Congratulations, Host, you successfully picked up Top-Tier Conqueror's Haki. Current progress: 8%!]

[Ding~ Congratulations, Host, you successfully picked up Conqueror's Haki Coating!]

At the same time, Rono felt a powerful force surge into his body, warm and comfortable.

"How is it, Rono? Have you learned it?"

Rocks directly skipped over Silver Axe, Ochoku, John, and the others, fixing his gaze on Rono!

"I've learned it!"

Rono smiled faintly and casually demonstrated Conqueror's Haki Coating.

Just like Rocks, he shattered a boulder a hundred meters away with a single punch, though his destructive force and power were inferior to Rocks's.

This further confirmed to Rono that Rocks's Conqueror's Haki had absolutely reached the divine level!

"Very good... I knew I hadn't misjudged you."

Rocks nodded, thoroughly satisfied.

As for Silver Axe, Ochoku, John, and the others, they had perhaps already grown accustomed to Rono's monstrous talent.

A technique they had been unable to master after half a year of painstaking training was something Rono could still learn after seeing it demonstrated just once!

Now they also understood the true meaning of that saying:

Sometimes, the gap between people was greater than the gap between a person and a dog.

Soon, the next day arrived.

The seven Division Commanders gathered at Hachinosu's harbor early, according to the agreed-upon time.

Not a single person dared to be late. After all, this might be the most ferocious assault the Rocks Pirates had launched since their founding.

They were facing nineteen Celestial Dragons!

At the harbor!

Whitebeard, Shiki, Rono, Silver Axe, Charlotte Linlin, John, and Ochoku!

All seven Division Commanders who terrified the entire world had arrived!

The members behind them were all formidable fighters with bounties exceeding one hundred million berries!

Among them were even several famous Great Pirates with bounties exceeding four hundred or five hundred million berries!

Yet even these Great Pirates could not become Division Commanders of the Rocks Pirates!

It was easy to imagine what kind of monsters those seven Division Commanders were!

And standing before everyone was the Great Pirate whose presence surpassed those Division Commanders by at least one level—Xebec D. Rocks!

This was why the Rocks Pirates were known as the strongest!

With all these people mobilized, they were even powerful enough to go toe-to-toe with the overlord of the seas—the Marine Headquarters!

The sight stirred the Rocks Pirates members present, filling them with longing!

As expected of the world's strongest pirate crew—all criminals!

"But Captain Rocks, if we all leave, who will guard Hachinosu?"

Seeing the seven commanders and Rocks himself preparing to depart with their entire force, Golden Lion could not help voicing his concern.

Whenever they set out to eliminate Celestial Dragons or seize Heavenly Tribute,

the Rocks Pirates would at least leave behind a powerhouse at the level of a Division Commander to guard Hachinosu, preventing anyone from raiding their home.

But this was the first time all their high-ranking commanders were setting out, leaving behind only some mid-level commanders and ordinary crew members.

If a powerhouse at Emperor-Admiral Level came to raid them, it would be as easy as lifting a finger.

"This time, our opponents are nineteen Celestial Dragons. The Marines and the World Government will certainly have prepared absolute defenses. We have to mobilize our entire force to have a chance, understand?"

Rocks spoke as though he had anticipated that someone would ask this.

"What if the Marines take advantage of our weakened headquarters and occupy it?"

Ochoku reminded him cautiously.

"Don't worry. I'll have a way when the time comes." Rocks grinned, clearly confident that everything was under control.

Seeing how confident Captain Rocks was, the other commanders did not dare say anything more.

"Men, let's set out!"
