The Melee on Enies Lobby
Aramaki was horrified. His body suddenly stiffened, and the rapidly spinning petals behind him came to a standstill. His body fell uncontrollably downwards.
At the same time, many of the other contestants around them were knocked unconscious by Conqueror's Haki.
Although this Haki wasn't directed at them, even a sliver of its power still caused widespread fainting.
People with weak willpower, like wheat in autumn, fall one after another.
"Hahaha, you can still stay conscious? Not bad, not bad, I like you even more now, kid!"
Rocks laughed heartily; meeting a Logia Fruit user so soon after his resurrection made him even happier.
His New Rocks Pirates needs just that kind of talent.
Thump!
The Aramaki fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed across the sky.
Rocks turned around and saw a giant Golden Great Buddha blocking out the sun, its enormous golden palm slamming down.
"Shockwave!"
Boom!!
Rocks crossed his arms above his head to block the impact, which instantly shattered the ground beneath his feet, creating a giant crater a hundred meters in diameter.
In the center of the crater, only the small area where Rocks was located remained intact.
"The Sengoku Vice Admiral? Long time no see."
"It really was you, Rocks!"
The Sengoku period was extremely ugly, and the eyes of the Golden Great Buddha revealed an unconcealable fear.
Back when Rocks was active, he was still Marine Vice Admiral. Now that he has retired from the position of Fleet Admiral, I never expected to see his face again.
You actually came back to life?
Did my resurrection surprise you?
Rocks grinned. "Where's Garp? Haven't seen him in years. Is he dead? I should thank him."
As the two were talking, the five Shichibukai arrived at the battlefield one after another.
Moria looked at him with a look of utter disbelief and exclaimed, "It really is that Rocks! How is he still alive?!"
On his Thriller Bark, there were also the corpses of several of the enemy's men.
He's now turned those corpses into zombies. If Rocks finds out about this, won't he be targeted?
However, at this moment, no one cared about Moria's thoughts; everyone was focused on Rocks.
"What exactly do you want, Rocks!" the Golden Great Buddha roared.
"What are you doing? You can't possibly not guess, Sengoku."
Rocks spread his arms and embraced the sky:
"I will rebuild the Rocks Pirates! The reborn Rocks Pirates will set this sea ablaze with the flames of revenge!"
"I'll stop you! You bastard!"
The Golden Great Buddha unleashed a punch.
"Hahaha... If you can stop it, prove it to me!"
Rocks laughed and threw a punch to meet the attack.
Before the two fists, one large and one small, even collided directly, their Conqueror's Haki's Haki clashed fiercely first.
Boom!
The clash between the two overlords tore the sky apart in an instant.
Chapter 203 The Great Battle on Enies Lobby
The sky cracked.
In the face of the fierce clash between the two Conqueror's Haki, only seasoned masters could barely maintain their conscious awareness.
In the vast training ground, many more contestants were stunned by the aftershocks.
Black and red Inazuma erupted, appearing in the sky like a woven spider web.
This scene could be clearly seen even ten kilometers away from Enies Lobby.
At that moment, there happened to be a warship.
"A clash of Conqueror's Haki!"
On deck, the colonel in charge of transporting the selectors looked bewildered. "A major battle has broken out on Enies Lobby?"
Beside the warship was a huge raft made of logs, and on the raft, a giant wearing a silver helmet suddenly stood up.
"That Conqueror's Haki..."
Beneath the giant's mask, a look of surprise and uncertainty flickered in his eyes; that Conqueror's Haki gave him a familiar feeling.
"Vaguen, what are you doing?" Noticing the giant's movements, the colonel immediately shouted.
The silver-helmeted giant ignored him, picked up his oar, and rowed vigorously, heading quickly towards Enies Lobby.
That Conqueror's Haki is unmistakable... it's Rocks!
Martial arts training ground.
The clash of Conqueror's Haki reached a stalemate, as if they were in the eye of a typhoon, forcing Crocodile and the others to retreat and create a safe distance.
"Fufufu... How terrifying! Is this the pirate who once dominated the Grand Line?"
Despite his smile, Doflamingo's forehead was covered in cold sweat.
"Hahaha... You're old, Sengoku. Is this all the power you've ever had?"
Rocks laughed loudly, then roared and sent the Golden Great Buddha flying.
Boom!
The Sengoku's Conqueror's Haki was shattered, and he was blasted hundreds of meters away by a single punch.
The light emitted by the Golden Great Buddha quickly dimmed, its body rapidly shrank, and in the blink of an eye, it reverted to human form.
The human-shaped Sengoku rolled a long distance on the ground, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, his face becoming extremely solemn.
"Why is this happening? Even if he's been brought back to life, what's with this power...? It's even stronger than when he was alive!"
Sengoku stared intently at Rocks, utterly bewildered by the power Rocks was displaying.
"Sengoku, Garp, Zephyr... I had quite a bit of dealing with those three elite Vice Admirals back then."
With a flash, Rocks instantly traversed hundreds of meters and appeared not far from Sengoku.
He spread his arms and approached step by step:
"Oh right, what about that Admiral? Isn't he on this island? Let's just call him out too. I remember he was Mythical Zoan, right? Is he dead?"
Rocks was filled with nostalgia; it was his lost youth.
Now, three or four decades later, these "old friends" are already halfway to their coffins.
Back in the day, he even tried to invite Garp to join his Rocks Pirates, but of course, he was rejected.
Speaking of his old friend... he thought of Harald the Giant.
That idiot had such naive expectations of the World Government; I wonder what's become of him now?
Given the giants' lifespan of three to four hundred years, they must not be dead.
"You lot, how long are you going to keep watching this show?!"
Sengoku got up and roared.
Upon hearing this, Hawk-Eye slowly drew his Black Blade, Night, from his back, gazed at Rocks from afar, and said softly:
"Don't order me around."
As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his sword, unleashing a sudden, dark slash that tore a deep chasm through the earth.
Rocks stopped in his tracks and turned around abruptly.
"What a powerful strike! Who are you, brat?"
He steadied himself and swiftly grabbed at the incoming slash with both hands.
He blocked the terrifying, pitch-black slash with both hands, and the impact propelled Rocks forward, leaving two long shoe prints on the ground.
Upon seeing this, Jinbe couldn't help but gasp.
What kind of monster is this?
He actually withstood the World's Greatest Swordsman's slash with his bare hands!
Moria chuckled twice, "Hehehehe... If I could steal his shadow, I would create the most perfect zombie!"
What terrifying monster would be born if the shadow of Rocks were combined with the corpse of Oars Demon?
At that time, Kaido than a worm that can only crawl on the ground!
The thought of such delicious food made Moria unable to resist taking a bite.
"Shadow's Asgard!"
He slammed his palm on the ground, and in the next instant, the shadow beneath his feet transformed into countless tentacles, spreading out in all directions.
These dark, shadowy tentacles seemed to have eyes, quickly locking onto each Selector who had been stunned by Conqueror's Haki.
Then, the tentacles burrowed into their shadows, like straws, drawing strength from the group.
Thump!
Moria's body began to swell. Originally only seven meters tall, his size continued to grow as he absorbed more and more shadows.
"Hehehehe... hehehehe... the shadows of these selectors are really good quality!"
Moria's laughter was distorted; his figure was comparable to a building, and even the Tower of Justice in the distance seemed small compared to him.
"Rocks, this is the fist of a thousand shadows, die!"
A gigantic fist, as large as a warship, slammed down towards Rocks.
Rocks stopped his retreat and forcefully redirected Hawk-Eye's slash toward the distant Tower of Justice.
The pitch-black slash swept across the tower, instantly cleaving it in two.
He looked up at Moria's fist, which seemed to be pressing down like a small mountain.
"Paramecia Shadow- Shadow-Shadow Fruit... Hahaha, another great fruit."
Rocks grinned and raised his arms again to block Moria's punch overhead.
Boom!!
The earthquake trembled, and cracks spread.
Moria's fist, which was about to strike, suddenly stopped. His expression changed drastically, filled with disbelief.
The combined power of a thousand shadows was blocked by a mere individual.
"Damn it! Give me your shadow!"
Moria roared and raised his fist, ready to strike a second time.
"These kids these days have no manners! Is this how you use the Shadow-Shadow Fruit?"
Rocks snorted, and with Inazuma, he charged towards Moria was as massive as a building.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared above Moria, unleashing a punch imbued with Conqueror's Haki downwards from a distance.
"That's... Garp's move!" Sengoku roared, his face blank. "Get out of the way, you idiot!"
Moria did want to dodge, but after growing to gigantic size, his strength increased dramatically, but his movement speed became almost zero.
