Still Can Get Stronger! The Strongest Physical Talent-Iron Balloon

Aside from the huge victories at the three battlefields where Rocks, Golden Lion, and Whitebeard were fighting!

Silver Axe, Ochoku, John, and Charlotte Linlin, the four Division Commanders, also noticed that the situation had changed dramatically!

With their morale greatly boosted, the four of them were on the verge of breaking through the combined encirclement by the Marine Headquarters Elite Vice Admirals before them!

"Kill!"

A glint flashed in Rocks's eyes as he prepared to kill Kong and Garp, who were both seriously wounded.

With those two dead, the Marines would surely suffer a devastating blow. They might not recover for twenty years!

Rocks flashed over to the wounded Kong and Garp, his fists gathering power.

He released his overwhelming Conqueror's Haki in full!

Deep crimson waves of energy surged wildly around his fists, like a starving tiger about to devour its prey!

This was a lethal blow!

Garp and Kong also sensed the threat to their lives, their faces turning grave.

Unfortunately, their severe injuries meant they could no longer trade blows with Rocks as they had before!

Boom! Boom!

He swung one fist at Garp and the other at Kong!

At the same time, Golden Lion finally reached the ground.

"Lion's Might: Earth-Curling!"

After touching the ground with his palm, Golden Lion unleashed the terrifying power of the Float-Float Fruit!

The earth churned wildly, countless rocks combining into a gigantic lion's head that charged at Zephyr, who was kneeling on one knee and had lost much of his momentum!

Whitebeard, however, did not try to kill Sengoku.

After all, Whitebeard was not the sort to kill indiscriminately, and he would not blindly follow Rocks's orders either.

But to be safe, Whitebeard planned to cut off Sengoku's hands.

That would greatly weaken Sengoku as well.

"Murakumo Slash!"

Whitebeard roared, and a terrifying Sword Aura surged toward Sengoku's hands!

[Congratulations, Host, you successfully picked up Strength: 3985]

[Congratulations, Host, you successfully picked up Speed: 1357]

[Congratulations, Host, you successfully picked up Stamina: 2951]

[Congratulations, Host, you successfully picked up Top-Tier Conqueror's Haki. Current progress: 34.9%!]

[Congratulations, Host, you successfully picked up Top-Tier Armament Haki. Current progress: 38.7%!]

[Congratulations, Host, you successfully picked up Top-Tier Observation Haki. Current progress: 36.2%!]

[Congratulations, Host, you successfully picked up Great Swordmaster-Level Swordsmanship. Current progress: 43.6%!]

[Congratulations, Host, you successfully picked up Murakumogiri!]

[Congratulations, Host, you successfully picked up Lion: Thousand-Cut Valley!]

[Congratulations, Host, you successfully picked up the Physical Talent-Iron Balloon!]

As Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Rocks continued to attack, the system kept sending out notifications.

Murakumogiri and Lion: Thousand-Cut Valley—he had acquired two more special moves!

And all Three Types of Haki, along with his swordsmanship, had improved to varying degrees!

His speed, strength, and stamina had also increased significantly!

A soothing, warm current flowed into Rono's body, and his muscles once again committed the two moves, Murakumogiri and Lion: Thousand-Cut Valley, to memory!

Of course, what delighted Rono even more was that he had actually picked up what might be the most powerful physical talent in One Piece-

Iron Balloon!

Rono immediately felt his body undergo a tremendous change!

His bones and muscles were like forged steel. Even without Armament Haki, he could withstand blades, axes, guns, and bombs!

Without a doubt, the only person present with such a terrifying talent was Charlotte Linlin!

Just moments ago.

While Rocks, Whitebeard, and Golden Lion had taken advantage of their superior position to defeat Kong, Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr in one fell swoop,

Charlotte Linlin had also seized the opportunity and used the Famous Sword Napoleon to slash down one of the Giants with a single blow.

Then, the other three Marine Headquarters Elite Vice Admirals took advantage of the opening to land three consecutive slashes on Charlotte Linlin!

To the three Vice Admirals' surprise, their Armament Haki-coated slashes struck Charlotte Linlin as if they had hit an iron plate, and their blades bounced back!

The blades even had a small but noticeable chip in them!

That was the terrifying Physical Talent-Iron Balloon!

It went without saying that Charlotte Linlin was like that even now.

Even when she was five years old, she could kill a Giant Bear with a single slap.

When her Hunger Pangs had erupted, she had even killed a Giant with ease!

Back then, she knew nothing of Haki or swordsmanship.

Just how terrifying her Iron Balloon physical talent was could be seen from that alone!

It was also at that moment that the system picked up Charlotte Linlin's terrifying physical talent!

"I've gotten quite a bit stronger again!"

Rono could feel his strength increasing once more!

He had already reached Admiral Level, yet he could still grow stronger. Even Rono was pleasantly surprised by this!

Good! Excellent!

Give him more talents like this!

Then he could kill all these Swine Celestial Dragons!

"Still, it's impossible to kill Kong, Garp, Zephyr, and Sengoku here."

"Because reinforcements have arrived!"

Rono's Future Sight Haki had already glimpsed the near future!

Next, Rocks, Golden Lion, and Whitebeard would each be stopped by reinforcements sent by the World Government!

The World Government had sent quite a few reinforcements this time!

There were at least five Admiral Level auras!

And there were nearly ten more whose auras were no weaker than those of the Marine Headquarters Elite Vice Admirals!

Had they sent the forces of another Marine Headquarters?

The World Government's resources ran deeper than he had imagined!

Sure enough, the next moment, just as the lethal blows from Rocks, Golden Lion, and Whitebeard were about to land,

several figures suddenly appeared on the battlefield and blocked the lethal blows from Rocks, Golden Lion, and Whitebeard!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Three terrifying explosions erupted in the center of the battlefield, scattering clouds of dust!

When the smoke cleared, everyone saw-

Five white-haired, white-bearded old men had appeared in the center of the battlefield!

Two of them had blocked Rocks.

One each had stopped Whitebeard and Golden Lion!

And one had appeared in front of Rono!

The five men included one with curly hair, one baldhead, one dressed in a suit, one wearing a kimono, and one holding a Famous Sword!

All five had either white hair or white beards, and they looked to be at least sixty years old!

Yet the auras around them were as vast and deep as the sea!

Judging by aura alone, none of the five was weaker than the powerful Marines present, including Zephyr, Sengoku, Kong, and Garp!

There was no doubt about it. These five were the World's Highest Authority in the open—the Five Elders!

"It's truly astonishing. The Marines have actually been beaten back this badly!"

"The Rocks Pirates have grown even stronger!"

"Terrifying! Thank goodness we made it in time. If we'd been a second later, the consequences would have been unthinkable."

"The danger posed by the Rocks Pirates must be reassessed!"

"Anyway, let's end this war first."

After the five men surveyed the situation, even their usually composed expressions instantly slipped!

They looked utterly astonished!

Before coming, they had thought that even with the Most Evil Criminal joining the fight, the Marines might not be able to suppress the Rocks Pirates, but they wouldn't lose.

Now that they saw the situation, this wasn't a defeat—it was a rout!

They had even come within a hair's breadth of total annihilation!

If they had been just one moment later, the Marines would have lost at least four Admiral-level fighters!

If the Marines really lost four Admirals, they would be left in name only!

At that point, could the World Government alone withstand the relentless attacks of the Rocks Pirates?!

The five old men couldn't help feeling a little shaken.

P.S.:

To all my incredibly handsome brothers, my debut is coming up soon. Is three chapters at fixed times every day okay?

I'd like your opinion. Do you prefer one chapter at 7 a.m., one at noon, and one at 7 p.m.?

Or should I release all three together at 7 p.m.? This is my first time writing a book on Fanqie, so I'm not sure which is better.
