"Not a single fly is allowed to escape my grasp today!!!"
Rocks's command, filled with absolute tyranny and endless madness, echoed through every inch of God Valley like the first decree at the dawn of creation!
Rumble!!!
At his command, the enormous pirate fleet that had been anchored in the harbor like a legion from hell began to move!
Hundreds of vicious-looking pirate ships, like awakened beasts of the deep, turned their bows and slowly closed in on God Valley from every direction!
And that was not all!
Beneath Rocks's feet, darkness so utterly pure that it seemed capable of devouring even light spread wildly across the surrounding sea with a force that defied all reason!
"Black Water!"
Rocks let out a low roar. The darkness beneath his feet instantly covered the sea for thousands of meters around him like a living swamp!
The moment the churning waves touched the darkness covering that stretch of sea, they were smoothed flat as though by an invisible hand, becoming deathly still and viscous, seemingly stripped of all buoyancy!
The hulls of several Marine warships that had come too close lurched downward the moment they entered those dark waters!
"Report! An unknown force is pulling on the hull! We're going down!"
"The propulsion system has failed! We can't break free!"
"What is this power?! A Devil Fruit?!"
The Marines aboard the warships screamed in terror, but their struggles seemed utterly powerless before that fathomless darkness.
In mere seconds, under the horrified gazes of countless Marines and pirates, those massive warships, each displacing thousands of tons, were forcibly dragged down into the eerie darkness without a sound, as though pulled into a swamp!
There was no explosion, no sinking; they simply vanished eerily into that darkness!
"It's the power of the Dark-Dark Fruit!"
