Rocks, Overlord of the Sea

"Charge! We've landed on the Golden City!"

"Quick, hurry and look for the Celestial Dragons! And the gold!"

"What a luxurious cruise ship. Once we crush the Marines, this ship will belong to the Rocks Pirates!"

Splash! Splash! Whoosh!

The clamor of footsteps rang out. The Rocks Pirates had successfully landed on the Golden City!

"Men, get in there! Let's raise hell!"

Rocks waved his hand, and the members of the Rocks Pirates charged into the Golden City as if they'd been injected with adrenaline!

"Don't underestimate the Marines, Rocks Pirates!"

"You think we came here unprepared?"

Kong roared, and the Marines who'd been lying in wait in the shadows of the Golden City revealed themselves one after another!

Nearly twenty thousand Marines surged toward the Rocks Pirates like ants.

The next moment, a chaotic battle erupted!

"Stop the Rocks Pirates! Wipe them out!"

"For Justice, charge!"

"Eradicating these evil pirates is our duty!"

The shouts shook the heavens!

The Marines and the members of the Rocks Pirates clashed in a brutal fight. The scene was utterly breathtaking.

"Come on, Marines! Try and stop me!"

As their captain, Rocks led from the front, moving straight to the forefront!

"Rocks, don't you dare run wild!"

The instant Rocks made his move,

Kong, who'd been keeping a close eye on him, appeared before him!

And Kong wasn't alone!

Another Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral, one of the three Admiral Candidates, Iron Fist Garp, appeared before Rocks as well!

The two men stared intently at the Overlord of the Sea.

Based on past experience, facing Rocks required at least two Admiral-level fighters!

That was the Overlord of the Sea's fearsome reputation!

"Did you think you could stop me like before? You two?"

Rocks gave a cold laugh, his words dripping with contempt.

Those Marines only knew how to rely on overwhelming numbers.

"Rocks, don't look down on the Admirals!"

"We'll stake everything on stopping you here today!"

Kong and Garp both felt deeply insulted, and their auras surged!

"Admirals? They're nothing but the Celestial Dragons' lapdogs."

Rocks gave a flippant laugh, and his aura surged too!

Before long, Rocks's aura had grown to a terrifying degree!

He even gave off the feeling of a Primordial Fierce Beast!

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Conqueror's Haki kept pouring out. At the center of the battlefield, Marines with weak wills collapsed one after another.

After several minutes, the Marines' numbers had been cut in half, from twenty thousand to ten thousand!

Kong and Garp looked exceptionally grim!

Just like before, Rocks's Conqueror's Haki was astonishingly powerful!

Perhaps because Rocks was especially excited today, his Conqueror's Haki was even stronger than usual!

In terms of sheer presence, Rocks alone had actually overpowered both of them!

They couldn't let him keep this up!

They represented the Marines' highest combat power—the face of the Marines!

They had to strike back!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Kong and Garp quickly attacked at the same time, one from each side.

Thud! Thud!

Rocks caught their fists, each packed with powerful Haki, and the three of them launched into a near-frenzied assault!

Every punch, kick, move, and technique was an exchange at the very highest level!

Each Clash unleashed terrifying waves of energy!

No one dared to approach within nearly a thousand meters of the three of them!

Under the force of their terrifying Clash, the entire giant cruise ship began to sway!

"That's our captain's strength! He's fighting two Admirals at once without giving an inch!"

Behind Rocks, Silver Axe, Ochoku, John, and the others couldn't help but marvel at the sight!

That was why these Monsters, despite possessing the qualities of kings, were willing to join the Rocks Pirates!

He could face two Admiral-level fighters on his own!

On the entire sea, Rocks was the only one who could do that!

The Overlord of the Sea had truly earned that name!

Even Rono was stunned.

This was his first time seeing Rocks fight!

Terrifying!

"Gurararara! Don't just stand there gawking, Marines!"

"The Rocks Pirates aren't just their captain!"

Inspired by Rocks, Whitebeard laughed excitedly. A transparent aura from the Tremor-Tremor Fruit appeared around Murakumogiri as he swung it toward the densely packed Marines.

"As if I'd let you do whatever you want, Whitebeard!"

Before the aura could hit the ground, a flash of golden light suddenly appeared before them.

"Great Buddha Shockwave!"

The Shockwave and the tremor wave collided violently, unleashing a tremendous surge of energy!

"Sengoku, you still haven't had enough of getting beaten up?"

Whitebeard gave the newcomer a cold laugh. His aura flared as he taunted him.

"Hmph, Whitebeard, times have changed. Today, you're the one who'll be beaten down!"

Sengoku's expression was severe. Golden light poured from his body, almost too bright to look at!

Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Buddha Form!

Buddha Sengoku!

As soon as he finished speaking, Whitebeard and Sengoku crashed into each other.

The full-force Clash between two Emperor-Admiral Level powerhouses made the cruise ship rock even more violently.

"Lion: Thousand-Cut Valley!"

"Armament Haki: Ryuo!"

In the sky, Golden Lion and Zephyr fought fiercely, shockwaves constantly surging in every direction.

Zephyr forced Golden Lion to remain in the sky, preventing him from touching anything.

That way, Golden Lion's troublesome Float-Float Fruit Ability wouldn't interfere.

"Mamamama! This is the perfect place to collect the souls of the strong!"

"Grow as big as you can, Zeus!"

Charlotte Linlin charged into the crowd, instantly killing more than a dozen Marines.

"Rocks Pirates' Third Division Commander, the fearsome woman Pirate, Charlotte Linlin!"

"We'll be your opponents!"

Four elite Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals stood in Charlotte Linlin's way, their auras imposing!

One of them was a Giant Vice Admiral.

But even in a four-on-one fight, the four Vice Admirals had no certainty of victory. Still, they could hold out for a while, and that would be more than enough.

Elsewhere, John, Silver Axe, and Ochoku were also each stopped by elite Marine Headquarters Vice Admirals!

At least three or four Marine Headquarters Elite Vice Admirals were assigned to face each Division Commander!

Just to deal with Charlotte, John, Silver Axe, and Ochoku—the four Division Commanders-

Marine Headquarters had to deploy more than a dozen of its elite Vice Admirals!

This nearly emptied the Marines' entire reserve of strength!

Fortunately, they'd managed to slow Rocks himself and several Division Commanders.

The Marines could finally catch their breath.

Vice Admiral Tsuru, nearby, urgently requested reinforcements from the World Government.

The Rocks Pirates came at them in full force. The Navy had deployed nearly all its strength, yet they had only managed to fight them to a standstill!

Don't forget, there was still someone in the Rocks Pirates who hadn't made a move!

The Seventh Division Commander, with a Bounty of 1.5 billion, the Most Evil Criminal, Rono!

From the start of the battle until now, he had merely watched from the sidelines!

Once he made his move, the Navy had no other force that could stop this guy!
