Avengers

He simply looked up and watched as a crimson sun set behind him.

"Bone Fist Impact."

Rocks grinned.

Boom!!

A massive burst of energy, like a nuclear explosion, erupted, sending terrifying Shockwaves sweeping in all directions.

The entire training ground, including a large area around it, was leveled by a single punch, and the other Shichibukai used their respective techniques to defend against the aftershocks.

In an instant, dust spread and sandstorms raged.

A long time.

Four figures rushed to the battlefield, and when they appeared at the training ground, they were shocked by what they saw.

Momousagi stared blankly at the devastated world.

Moria has vanished, and where he once stood, a bottomless pit has appeared.

Rocks stood at the edge of the pit, slowly looking up at the newcomers.

When he saw Zephyr, he noticed the other's missing arm and couldn't help but grin, saying provocatively:

"What's a cripple with a missing arm doing here?"

"Rocks!"

Zephyr clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead. This bastard who had come back from the dead truly wanted to destroy the island.

Just then, a translucent white ghost emerged from the ground and suddenly burrowed into Rocks's body from behind.

"Um?"

Rocks's body jolted, and he looked down at his chest, where a small white ghost emerged from his body.

What is this?

If it were a sneak attack, he would have a sense of danger, but this thing clearly posed no threat at all, so much so that he didn't even notice it beforehand.

Suddenly, Rocks' expression changed, as if his consciousness was being twisted by some force.

The next moment, the arrogant aura that had emanated from him vanished instantly. With a thud, he braced himself on the ground, muttering in a daze:

"Someone like me doesn't deserve to be the King of the World. I'd rather be a Nezumi, hiding in dark, stinking water..."

Halfway through his sentence, Rocks unleashed Haki, instantly suppressing his Devil Fruit abilities.

He scrambled to his feet, furious and embarrassed. "Which bastard is it?!"

Damn it, what's the point of doing something like this?

With his Observation Haki, he could foresee the Future Sight and immediately pinpointed the attacker's location. His Conqueror's Haki's Haki transformed into streaks of crimson Haki, lashing fiercely towards the distant ruins.

Boom!

Amidst the ruins, the ghost Perona shuddered with fear and immediately tried to flee.

"I'm sorry, Lord Moria, the enemy is too strong, it's terrifying!"

She hadn't flown far when the crimson lightning struck her spirit, instantly shattering it.

"A clone..."

Rocks frowned, then thought, "Never mind, I can't be bothered with this guy."

When he turned around, a large number of powerful figures had already gathered in front of him.

He grinned:

"Come at me, you brats!"

On the other side.

Administrative center, canteen area.

Dimon pushed open the kitchen's food storage door, and among the mountain of ingredients, he immediately spotted a box of fresh fruit.

"Owner."

A Devil Fruit leaped out from among the many fruits and landed at the very top.

Dimon raised his hand and pointed, a ray of golden light shooting out, leaving a mark on the surface of the fruit peel.

"You've worked hard, go back and rest now."

"Yes."

Angel Belial immediately activated his teleportation ability, sending himself back to the Wave-Breaking Warrior.

"Ain, how's it going with Rocks?"

All the island's top combatants were drawn to the fight, Rocks single-handedly battled numerous experts.

Ain gave a brief report on the situation at the training ground.

Dimon nodded, preparing to go back and join the fun, to see what the show was like.

As I walked out of the naval mess hall, I suddenly saw a girl running away in a panic.

It was a girl of about seventeen or eighteen, with pink pigtails and dressed in a gothic lolita style. She was riding on a teddy bear and directing the other party to move towards the port.

"Hurry, Kumashi! Lord Moria has been killed! We need to get off this island quickly, that monster is terrifying!"

"Kuma, Kuma."

The teddy bear suddenly stopped.

The Gothic Lolita girl raised her head in displeasure, only to see a man blocking her way.

"Hey, get out of the way, you idiot!"

Ghost Princess Perona...

Dimon remembered the other party; one of Moria's Three Mysterious Ones. Had he also come with the Shichibukai this time?

"If you're going to travel, where would you like to go?" Dimon chuckled, teasing the other person.

If Perona heard this three years later, she would definitely scream in fright.

She didn't understand anything at the moment, and just frowned, suddenly releasing many small white ghosts at Dimon.

"Negative Hollow!"

"Kneel down, you idiot!"

Chapter 204 The Avengers

Paramecia -type Devil Fruit User, Ghost Princess Perona...

The Negative Hollow tactic is somewhat insidious; if a ghost passes through a person's body, their will will become depressed.

If someone is already very negative, this tactic will become ineffective.

Dimon felt he still had a lot of drive, and if he were truly under the Negative Hollow, he could only suppress it with his Haki.

Facing the three small white ghosts flying towards him, Dimon took a step forward, dodging the Negative Hollow, and appeared behind Perona at the same time.

He grabbed the other person's pigtails and lifted them off the teddy bear.

"It hurts! Don't pull my hair! Let go of me, you idiot!"

"You're one of Moria's Three Mysterious Ones. I remember you had a companion who ate the Clear-Clear Fruit. Where is he?"

This gothic lolita looks young, but she's actually 20 years old.

"I don't know! Kumashi, come save me!"

"Kuma!"

The teddy bear turned around blankly and swung its fists wildly at Dimon.

This is a creation of Moria's abilities, modeled after animal zombies made from dolls. It only gained the ability to move after being stuffed with shadows.

It had sharp claws, and when it slashed at Dimon used Perona as a human shield in front of him.

Perona screamed in fright as Kumashi's claws nearly grazed her face, almost disfiguring her.

"Kumashi, you big idiot!"

"Kuma, Kumakuma."

The teddy bear was terrified and kept bowing and apologizing.

Dimon laughed, "Thank me, I deliberately kept the distance. I'll ask you one more time, where is your companion who ate the Clear-Clear Fruit?"

"You mean Absalom? I don't know him, he didn't come to this island."

Realizing that Dimon was a bit of a handful, Perona used a cute voice to feign weakness and innocence.

Dimon let go of her ponytail, and the girl fell on her bottom, looking pained.

"Your Lord Moria isn't dead. If he were, this bear beside you would just be a lifeless zombie."

The shadow that Moria steals will return to its original owner upon the death of the user.

Even when consciousness is scattered, the shadow will lose its suppression.

Upon hearing this, Perona suddenly widened her eyes, realizing that she had panicked too much.

"It's all that awful guy's fault, he scared me to death!"

Perona felt indignant at the memory of Rocks's horrors.

She and Moria had a father-daughter relationship; she was found and adopted by Moria when she was a child, and she always regarded Moria as her own father.

Now that she realized Moria was still alive, she didn't rush to escape the island, but instead thought about how to rescue him.

"Um, who are you? What do you want with Absalom?"

Perona patted her skirt, stood up, and turned around to find that Dimon was already gone.

She quickly chased after him, following behind like a shadow.

"What are you doing following me?" Monkey look.

"Who's following you? I just happened to be going that way!"

Perona was being hypocritical. A huge battle had broken out at the training ground, and seeing that Dimon was very strong, she felt safer by his side.

She had to find a way to rescue Moria, but she was afraid that if she showed herself, she would be targeted, since she had previously attacked Rocks with the Negative Hollow.

Perfect, I need a scapegoat.

Dimon ignored the little tail following behind him.

All the way to the training ground, they didn't encounter a single person. To be precise, everyone they saw along the way had been stunned by the Conqueror's Haki Haki.

The barbed wire surrounding the training grounds had disappeared, and large areas nearby had been razed to the ground, with unconscious contestants and marines scattered everywhere.

"Tsk tsk, they're having quite a fight."

Dimon gazed at the distant battlefield, marveling at it.

Sengoku, Zephyr, Momousagi, Tokikake, Mammon, along with several Vice Admirals and Shichibukai, formed a group that besieged Rocks.

Faced with such a formidable lineup, Rocks fought with unparalleled ferocity, growing stronger with each battle and ultimately dominating the fight.

Leaving aside the Navy, the Shichibukai were completely slacking off.

As the most cunning group of pirates on this sea, expecting them to fight at full strength is pure fantasy.

Crocodile simply stood at a distance, occasionally unleashing a sandstorm as a show.

Doflamingo used the String-String Fruit to control the unconscious Chosen Ones; he didn't actually lift a finger.

Only Fish-Man, the fishman, Jinbe rushed over and joined the battle to besiege Rocks.

"The battle will be decided quickly; these few people aren't enough for Rocks to handle."

As Dimon pondered this, he suddenly noticed the Aramaki not far away.
