"How do you want to die?"
When Yas's words, devoid of emotion yet filled with absolute judgment, stabbed into everyone's ears like the sharpest icicles, all the chaos and slaughter in God Valley seemed utterly suppressed by this grander, more supreme will!
For the first time, an exceedingly rare expression called "gravity" appeared on the ever-arrogant, savage face of Rocks D. Zebek, the future "Overlord of the Sea"!
He could clearly sense that, after the man before him donned that bizarre azure armor, his very "essence" had undergone a staggering transformation!
If Yas before had been a bottomless cosmic abyss, cold and deathly still...
Then Yas now was the absolute core within that cosmic abyss, commanding the laws of creation and destruction!
"Mwahahahahaha!"
After that brief moment of gravity, Rocks once again burst into his signature wild laughter, brimming with madness and excitement!
"Interesting! So very interesting!"
His eyes, burning with hellish ghost fire, fixed on Yas. The greed and desire in his gaze even surpassed his earlier ambition for the throne of the "King of the World"!
"Marine! What's your name?"
"Trash has no right to know my name." Yas's voice remained icy.
"Mwahahaha! Good! Very good!"
Rather than growing angry, Rocks became even more excited. He stuck out his tongue and licked his cracked lips, speaking with the fervor of someone regarding a prize already in his grasp. "I'll remember you! Once you're dead, that perfect body of yours, along with that beautiful shell, will become the new throne upon which I, Rocks D. Zebek, ascend as King of the World!"
Just as the terrifying, confrontational auras between the two, powerful enough to warp space, were about to erupt completely!
BOOOOM!!!
An indescribably tremendous crash, as fierce as a heavenly god's fist, suddenly thundered from the other side
