No kidding, even Rocks would have to offer me a cigarette.

Furthermore, his resistance to damage has become even more terrifying than before. At this moment, he can even achieve more than 80% damage reduction when facing some ordinary elemental energy attacks!

The most resilient creature in history—truly terrifying!

Luo Hou stood there, looking at his new body and the power surging wildly within him, and couldn't help but sigh.

Within that instant, Luo Hou even felt that he could indiscriminately slaughter all the strongest combatants of this era!

Absolutely no one can stand a chance against him!

They'd kill anyone who came!

Meanwhile, while Rahu was getting used to his new Devil Fruit ability, the Eight-Clawed Azure Dragon form, the situation on Rocks' side was far from optimistic.

Suddenly, he was besieged by 18 powerful figures from hundreds of years ago, plus the world's highest authority among the Five Elders, whose strength was extremely powerful. Even with his overwhelming strength, he couldn't withstand it for even a second and was directly driven into the deep underground by the overwhelming attack.

Luo Hou stared intently at the battlefield!

His Observation Haki, combined with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit's ability to sense electromagnetic waves over a wide area, was able to faintly penetrate the shield and sense Rocks's faint aura.

Rocks is definitely not dead.

But according to Luo Hou's estimation, he was almost there too.

His current strength has far surpassed that of Rocks, but he is ultimately outnumbered and outmatched!

Even excluding the Marine Headquarters and other miscellaneous combat forces, the World Government still has a total of eighteen old kings who have established governments.

It even includes the Five Elders, all of whom possess Mythical Zoan-type Devil Fruit abilities!

Even if Rahu cut off all eight of his Azure Dragon arms, he still couldn't defeat such an incredibly powerful lineup!

"Lox... is that guy really dead?"

"What an incredible man! It's terrifying that he single-handedly confronted five of the world's most powerful figures and managed to hold out for so long!"

"The next plan should be to deal with that so-called demonic pirate Rahu, right? We must eliminate these two huge cancers here!"

"Hey, hey, hey, don't make it sound so simple! I heard from pirates that Law's current status and strength are completely on par with Rocks, and he's even become a captain! And I always feel like that guy is twice as strong as Rocks..."

"Hmph! What use is a powerful person? In the face of absolute government power... they all die! Isn't Rocks a good example? A dignified sea lord, yet even such a man died in the siege of numerous powerful figures!"

The surrounding group of ordinary naval soldiers and high-ranking agents from the CP organization were completely unable to intervene in this battle.

The gap in combat power is too great!

Everyone could only stand far away and watch this battle between the world's top combat forces. Even getting a little closer could result in being blasted into pieces by the aftershocks of their battle, exploding everywhere!

"Something's not right! What does that figure in the smoke mean? Could it be that Rocks isn't dead yet?!"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! This is an attack from the world's highest authority and the 18 Celestial Dragons! Even if he were made of extraterrestrial meteorite iron, he should have been reduced to scrap metal!!!"

Just moments later, a cloud of dust, like a sandstorm, rose up at the scene.

A blurry, indistinct figure suddenly appeared!

Under the overwhelming attack of so many top-tier combat forces

This man is still alive!

......

Chapter 141 Even Pirates Have to Principles of Justice

"Ha...it was my miscalculation...I never imagined that so many terrifying old men would exist hidden deep within the Holy Land of Mary Geoise..."

"You can't kill me... The will of the D clan... will live on forever... One day, a man like me will rise up and conquer this homeland..."

Amidst the veil of red dust, a hoarse voice slowly emanated, striking a chord deep within everyone's soul!

Although Lockes used a calm tone, the emotions conveyed between the lines were extremely ferocious, terrifying, and chilling.

This is as if it were the most hateful, angry, and venomous words in the world.

It makes one's heart tremble.

Of course, this is just the kind of emotion that ordinary soldiers and weak CP agents would have.

The powerful figures present, such as the Five Elders and the 18 kings, didn't even change their expressions; they simply watched with the same boredom as a clown venting his emotions.

Rahu stood quietly, watching as Lox gradually became clearer through the smoke and dust.

At this moment, his entire body was shrouded in black smoke, as if he had transformed into a black flame, flickering erratically.

Although a large, terrifying, and deadly gash had been cut directly into the spot where the heart was beating.

However, the domineering aura emanating from that figure was extremely powerful, and it made people feel an inexplicable chill in their hearts.

Although his current combat power has far surpassed that of Rocks.

However, compared to that level, Rahu didn't believe he had surpassed that level of combat power. After all, if he were the one who had just been attacked by the 18 Celestial Dragon Kings...

How serious would my injuries be?

Even if he's in slightly better condition than Rocks is currently, it probably won't be much better.

After all, that was an attack from more than 20 top experts!

Even if one's agility is maximized and one has numerous Devil Fruit abilities that allow for movement, it is still difficult to escape such an attack.

However, compared to Rocks, Rahu values ​​himself more. He currently possesses the mutated form of the Eight-Clawed Azure Dragon Fruit.

He now possesses a terrifying ability similar to the Five Elders, capable of rapidly recovering from injuries! In addition, the fusion of the abilities of two Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits has given him a powerful physique.

Rahu believed that even if he couldn't defeat these 18 Celestial Dragon Kings, none of them would dare to chase after him and stop him if he wanted to escape!

Soon, the eighteen Celestial Dragon kings, excluding King Nader who was killed by Rahu, began their operation.

They surrounded the heavily injured and nearly collapsed Lockes in a circular formation, leaving no gaps whatsoever!

"Brothers... your great Captain Rocks... this is where I am today... let's retreat together with your Captain Rahu!"

"Their target is me... As long as I die... you can safely return to the sea..."

With a sigh, Rocks forcefully plunged his Supreme Grade Sword, Blood Slash, into the Red Line. His once domineering gaze fell upon Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Charlotte Linlin, and the others who were still engaged in fierce combat.

John, Silver Axe, and Wang Zhi, three guys who didn't usually train hard enough to develop their domineering spirit, perished in this massive war. Their bodies were even hacked to pieces by the Navy without any chance of being saved.

Although these guys are usually arrogant and domineering pirates, and their team is full of distrust, at this moment, not one of them tried to run away!

Even the damned Golden Lion, who was always clamoring to split up the group, was desperately fighting with the captain of the Knights of God, Figaland Garin, in swordsmanship, and did not choose to flee Mary Geoise in advance.

These are just the characteristics.

Rocks already highly regarded these guys.

His gaze then fell directly on Rahu's location.

If, given the current terrifying situation, there is anyone who can lead the Rocks Pirates out of the encirclement and back to the sea, then it is undoubtedly Rahu.

Rocks could clearly sense that Rahu's strength far surpassed his own.

"What a troublesome guy~"

"If I were to let you die on Mary Geoise, wouldn't I be reduced to a heartless and lowly pirate?"

"Even in the world of pirates, there is still a sense of justice!"

Luo Hou looked at Lox with some displeasure at his expression, which seemed to be giving his final instructions.

Although he didn't acknowledge Rocks when he first joined the Rocks Pirates about a year ago, he was merely using the crew's power to take revenge on the Celestial Dragons.

However, as war after war passed, Rahu also came to wholeheartedly acknowledge Rocks's status as captain.

After all, knowing that he could quickly improve his physique and Haki in battle, and even directly absorb additional Devil Fruit abilities, this guy still chose to fight him one-on-one!

This is clearly a case of sharing everything one knows!

Even if Rocks made this choice solely to become the King of the World.

But Luo Hou could not deny that this guy had indeed given him a lot of help.

Whether it's physical strength or the ultimate Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conqueror's Haki, these are reasons that cannot be ignored.

"Hahahaha... It's good that you have such good intentions... Try to get as many of those guys away as possible, I really can't hold on any longer..."

Seeing that Rahu seemed to be rushing over to rescue him, Rocks's previously gloomy face finally broke into a smile.

At that moment, he realized that his identity as captain was indeed very charismatic.

"Shut the fuck up, you brat! You're not the only captain in this pirate crew! I'm the captain too!"

"You, a mere Lox, have no right to order me around!"

Luo Hou spoke indifferently, completely ignoring Lox's orders.

For both emotional and rational reasons, Rahu would not let Rocks die in Mary Geoise.

"Damn it! If you want to save people, you should at least know what you're capable of! Are you looking down on us?"

"Why waste words with this guy? Let's just charge in and blast those two lowly commoners to smithereens!"

The moment the words fell between them.

The situation on the ground, which had been somewhat deteriorating and seemed to be on the verge of ending, suddenly became tense again.

The next moment, the figures of the Five Elders and the eighteen Celestial Dragons who had seriously injured Rocks flashed by, directly surrounding Rahu and forming a lineup specifically targeting the two of them!

"That brat was able to kill Nader Fordlin Saint, he's no ordinary person... We must kill him first!"

......

Rocks's image is roughly like this

Chapter 142 The Cowardly Golden Lion

"King Don Quixote is right! These two fellows are both trying to ruin the noble kingdom we have worked so hard to establish! They must not be forgiven!"

Apart from the already deceased King Nader, the remaining 18 Celestial Dragons surrounded Rahu and Rocks completely.

"Hehehe~ The most primitive Celestial Dragons... If it weren't for you, perhaps this world wouldn't be so terrible~"

Rahu remained expressionless, quietly keeping a watchful eye on the 18 Celestial Dragon kings and the Five Elders who were waiting for an opportunity to strike.
