Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

but……

The next scene.

This caused even the most knowledgeable and experienced generals to freeze in shock, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable. They stood rooted to the ground, as if struck by lightning.

Even the most valiant hero, Whitebeard, was somewhat stunned.

"That! That guy!"

"As expected of Locke kid!"

The white-bearded man's gaze lingered, his mouth slightly agape, and he even forgot to let out his unique, eccentric laugh.

For everyone!

In full view of everyone!

Amidst the scattered, flying flames, a ball of fire resembling a dead dog was struck by a strange force.

The sonic boom of waves breaking through the water.

It transformed into a powerful force, directly penetrating his body.

With the eyesight of these top experts, they could even see the remaining fat and rotten flesh on Yan's body trembling under the immense force, rolling and undulating like waves. They could even see the slightest tremor on his face. He was clearly dead, yet he was still being tortured by Super Strength 303.

The power flows through.

They knocked him flying.

It was sent flying to the ground like a rag doll.

He crashed heavily into the ruins of a building, his mangled corpse hanging amidst the smoke and flames of war.

awful!

It was indescribably tragic!

His body was smashed to pieces.

Just like one of the countless soldiers who died in God Valley, a member of the pirates.

broken……

bloody……

He was left lying on the roadside like a broken piece of trash, no different from the wrecked bodies lying on the ground. He showed no trace of his former arrogant and domineering demeanor, nor of his previous position of power over the three armies.

Ok……

Even the strongest person...

Even the most venerable ones.

If you die, you'll be no different from the lackeys of the peasants they regard.

The indestructible body of the strong?

The idea that one can live on even after death is nothing but a self-deceptive joke.

At least!

Right before my eyes.

That's exactly what happened to 'Yan'.

"So... you're in such a sorry state..."

I feel the same way!

All the powerful generals on the field felt the same way, a sense of shared sorrow, a faint melancholy that arose in their hearts, regardless of which side they were on.

Chapter 154: The Extravagant Rocks, Giving Away a Lot of Devil Fruits!

It's not sympathy!

Rather, it stems from a shared sense of belonging within the same social class!

The same applies to the powerful class!

Although the Rocks Pirates were enemies before, they were eager to get rid of 'Flame', their biggest threat, and even the most magnanimous Whitebeard felt the same way.

It's not about good or evil, it's just a matter of personal stance; where you stand determines where you think!

but--

Seeing 'Yan' die so easily, and even so devastated, just like a small fry that can be seen anywhere on the battlefield, being casually knocked aside.

They couldn't help but feel a chill. Even Wang Zhi, who hated the navy, frowned and his hand paused slightly, as if he couldn't bear to do so. He wanted to create a wave of air to at least bury his body so that he wouldn't be engulfed by the smoke of war and perish in the flames like ordinary soldiers and fodder, leaving not even a trace behind.

He couldn't bear to do it, and wanted to, but his concerns made him stop.

I felt a little anxious.

but……

soon……

He won't have to think about these things anymore.

because!!

In complete silence.

Someone——

They spoke!

"Hahahaha~"

"Kid!"

"Well done! It seems I underestimated you!"

"Ferocious Beast Locke?"

"What a lame title! Those petty guys in the World Government are utterly useless!"

"Kill that Yan guy with your own hands, shatter his last hope, brat! I knew I wasn't wrong about you! The ambition to devour the world! Such youthful spirit, truly something to reminisce about—"

A unique, grotesque laugh rang out.

Without even opening their eyes, they knew it was Rocks making the sound.

In the pitch-black darkness.

Rocks strode out with an imposing presence. Despite his numerous injuries, the aggressive look on his face remained undiminished. On the contrary, the air of authority he carried after defeating 'Marshal Yan' made his arrogance even more overbearing and terrifying.

Even opposing generals at the Emperor level wouldn't dare to directly confront his terrifying aura at this moment.

Yes!

Even the World Government's top combat forces, such as the Army Generals, Navy Admirals, and even the CP Director-General, were shocked by his arrogant demeanor, their pupils contracting and involuntarily taking a step back.

His face was full of fear, like a frightened rabbit, ready to leap and run away at any moment.

That's exactly it!

overbearing!

majesty!

Rocks, who was able to shock and intimidate the Emperor-level powerhouse with just his Conqueror's Haki, looked at Locke with eyes full of admiration and undisguised admiration, expressing his high regard for Locke.

At least……

Rocks had never shown this expression before, even when facing Whitebeard and his crew.

but.

Compared to these.

"Kill Yan?"

"Is it the Yan I'm thinking of?"

"The World Government's Commander-in-Chief, whose strength surpasses that of Whitebeard and his crew, is considered the top powerhouse on the World Government's side? No... could it be...?!"

Locke, who had just emerged from underground.

He patted the dust off his body.

I was a little confused by what Lox said.

Is it...

Did I time travel again?!

He was not only bewildered, but he even began to question the meaning of life.

"Your Highness~"

"It really seemed like you were the one who took care of that guy who fell from the sky just now..."

Najenda, who was with the three goddesses beside her, spoke up.

Except her.
