I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 115: What to do if you encounter the big boss right after leaving the village? Need help urgently!
Son of Ominous Signs, Rocks D. Giebeck.

Bounty of 85 million Berries!
Compared to their Giant Rock Pirates, "Rock" Butler's bounty was much higher.

the most important is--

Rocks D. Xebec was a member of the White Wolf Pirates!

Seeing Rocks standing alone in front of his captain, Shiki couldn't help but feel excited. Is this a member of the White Wolf Pirates?

Butler is now drenched in sweat.

'What are the White Wolf Pirates doing here? And why are they standing up for the mermaids from Fish-Man Island?'

Butler screamed inwardly, but it was impossible for him to obediently admit defeat.

"Even if you're a member of the White Wolf Pirates, you're just a brat. If you want to stop me, wait twenty years!"

Butler roared and took a step forward.

"Rock Armor!"

The entire street of Coral Hill trembled violently with Butler's stomp. He was a superhuman who had eaten the Stone-Stone Fruit, which allowed him to assimilate the rocks he came into contact with into his own power.

Although many people say that the Stone-Stone Fruit is just a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, Butler believes that the Stone-Stone Fruit is in no way inferior to the strongest Logia-type Devil Fruit!
Seeing Butler use his abilities, Skeeter's expression turned serious.

Because he was defeated by this very move.

He is a Float Man who ate the Float-Float Fruit, and one of his abilities is to control objects to float and attack.

Before he could even use his abilities...

Butler merged himself with the ground, making it impossible for him to make the ground float.

So he lost before the fight even began.

If you were a member of the White Wolf Pirates, how would you deal with this move?

Then he witnessed an unforgettable scene.

Rocks merely drew his sword from behind his back, and before Shiki could even see clearly, Rocks was already standing in front of his captain, Butler.

Seeing Rocks suddenly appear in front of him and swing his sword, Butler's pupils contracted, and he used all his strength to lift the surrounding rocks, trying to block Rocks' attack.

but.

"it's useless."

Rocks's knife sliced ​​through his rock as easily as cutting tofu.

Locke's calm voice came through.

"How could ordinary rocks possibly withstand my domineering aura?"

Kill the owl with a knife!

Rocks only struck once from beginning to end.

The captain who left him no chance to resist was easily killed by Rocks!

"These are the crew members of the White Wolf Pirates!"

Shiki looked at Rocks with fervor. If even the crew members were this strong, how strong would Mongo, the captain of the White Wolf Pirates, be?
"Ok?"

Noticing Shiki's gaze and seeing the mermaid Shiki had captured, Rocks raised his hand, preparing to slash at her with his sword.

Although he is not a traditional swordsman, he can still cut someone down from dozens of meters away without any problem.

However, before he could make a move...

He then saw a merman who was very close to him scream and run frantically toward a dark corner of the street.

It was as if I had seen something terrifying.

But before he could run very far, the fishman's mind went astray.

He foamed at the mouth and fainted.

'Is it Conqueror's Haki?'

Seeing this, Rocks muttered to himself.

Munger had displayed his Conqueror's Haki to him more than once, so Rocks knew that accurately stunning someone from several kilometers away was just routine for Munger.

Rocks was just wondering if he also possessed Conqueror's Haki.

The higher you go.

The slower the progress in strength, the more difficult it becomes.

Regardless of whether it's Armament Haki or Observation Haki, Rocks felt he was nearing a bottleneck. The next step would be what Monger referred to as internal destruction and foresight.

Rocks wasn't in a hurry. He was only in his early twenties, and he didn't think that either internal sabotage with Armament Haki or foreseeing the future would be difficult for him.

Only Conqueror's Haki.

This is a power that only a king can possess; it is an innate talent.

People who lack the aptitude for Conqueror's Haki.

No matter how much you train, you can't develop Conqueror's Haki.

Does he possess Conqueror's Haki?

"Well done!"

Monger's voice only fell from above after Lox had finished dealing with the enemy.

"With your current strength, you can practically roam freely in the first half of the Grand Line. Ordinary pirates are no match for you. How does that feel?"

"generally."

Rocks didn't consider the pirates in the first half of the Grand Line as his opponents. Since the strongest pirates were all gathered in the New World, his target was naturally the pirates of the New World.

And standing at the pinnacle of pirates in the New World is undoubtedly the man before him.

“Monge”.

"Ok?"

"Do I possess Conqueror's Haki?"

"Haha, don't you think you don't have any?"

Hearing the change in how he addressed Lox, Munger grinned.

Don't forget what you want to do!

Rocks' current strength has reached a bottleneck, and most pirates without Devil Fruit abilities will be stuck at this stage.

The internal damage caused by Armament Haki is a hurdle.

The ability to foresee the future using Observation Haki presents another hurdle.

If one masters both abilities, then even without being a Devil Fruit user, one can infinitely approach Monger's former peak strength.

But if you want to go further, you must master the entanglement of Conqueror's Haki!

Did Rocks possess Conqueror's Haki?

nonsense.

Of course there are!
However, under his suppression, it won't be easy for Rocks to awaken his Conqueror's Haki. But if he does awaken it, he will probably grow to a level that even he would take notice of!

However, Monger is now focused on someone else.

Shiki the Golden Lion!
One of the most powerful rivals of the future Pirate King, Gol D. Roger.

It once pushed Roger to the brink of despair.

But that's decades from now.

The person standing before Monger now was a young man with short blond hair, sausage lips, and an unremarkable appearance.

It's a little bigger than Newgate, but smaller than Rocks.

at this time.

Shiki looked nervously at the man who appeared next to Rocks.

White King Munger!

He never expected that he would meet Munger under such circumstances.

He wanted to challenge Monger.

But that was something he did only after he had gone through countless adventures, found his companions, and acquired a sufficiently powerful fleet!

Now I've met Munger.

What's the difference between this and a hero encountering a great demon king right after leaving the starting village?
"Haha, looks like you're a little nervous."

Seeing Shiki's tense expression, Munger's expression slowly tightened as well.

"Little one, could you please let go?"

"The little mermaid behind you."

"But I'm so scared!"
