Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

Even in exhaustion.

His terrifying aura was enough to make heaven and earth bow down. The so-called Conqueror's Haki was instantly reduced to dust in front of his aura. His oppressive aura was so strong that even a powerful emperor would not want to face it directly.

"It's seastone, isn't it?!"

The furious roar was like a hurricane, and the sheer power of its sound shook the heavens.

Chapter 158: The Whitebeard Who Turned Against Him, and the Golden Lion Who Watched From the Sidelines!

"They killed the Commander-in-Chief—"

"You despicable and filthy pirate, take your ambitions and go down with us to the grave for the Commander-in-Chief!"

In a stagnant battle.

The powerful generals present all stopped fighting due to the dramatic changes in the sky. The few who were paddling in the water didn't even bother with the pretense and simply stopped, staring intently at the grand battle in the valley, their eyes so focused they didn't even want to blink.

In this situation, a man dressed in a blue suit with a general's robe over it, and with the word "Justice" hanging high on his white cape, suddenly leaped out from among the group.

The sudden sound, like thunder awakening a stalker, instantly shattered the deadly silence on the field.

One of the three admirals of the Navy!

Kukumishia!

Blue Kite!

Logia-type Devil Fruit user - Wind-Wind Fruit user!

He was incredibly tall, with long legs that made him stand out on the field. Unlike the others, his face was not rugged but rather very delicate and beautiful, even somewhat feminine. However, the prominent Adam's apple in his throat revealed his identity.

His exquisitely handsome face had a slightly feminine touch, and his eyes were very lively, giving people a feeling that he was not to be trifled with. If Garp was the hard truth of fists, then he was the soft knife with tricks.

"Despicable pirate—"

"To act out of selfish desires and attempt to stir up endless storms on the sea, they deserve to die!!!"

"You are the most filthy demon!!"

Her delicate, beautiful face radiated a venomous, resentful light.

"so--"

"Is this the reason for your trickery?"

Where did you do it?!

"It's Yan!"

"It's his body!"

"What a brilliant plan! What a brilliant plan!"

Lox was furious but laughed. With his intelligence, he might not have noticed it when it happened, but once the inconsistency was pointed out, he instantly understood everything!

"It's Yan!"

"That damn guy..."

"Even in death, there will be no peace!"

The deep, muffled sound concealed boundless anger, like a volcano about to erupt.

"Commander-in-Chief—"

"He carried compressed 'PYROBROIN' factors before setting off, and at the moment he suffered a severe injury, he used the power of flames to completely detonate this power, and beneath your feet..."

"What's buried here is all the Seastone stored in the Valley of the Gods! It's hidden on the surface so you can't find it, but in battle after battle, the Commander-in-Chief has already melted everything with flames, leaving only a moment to explode!"

Qingyuan's eyes were filled with venomous resentment.

As a subordinate personally trained by Yan, the bond between him and the commander-in-chief is comparable to that of family.

This was a scheme destined to kill Rocks.

If he weren't also a Devil Fruit user and subject to the suppression of the 'PYROBROIN' factor, he would have taken matters into his own hands long ago.

but……

"Lieutenant Commander Garp will avenge the Commander-in-Chief!!!"

Qingyuan's face was filled with venomous resentment.

If it were just Garp taking action, he might not be able to suppress Rocks. After all, that guy is a monster, and the strength he showed in overwhelming Garp just now was truly terrifying.

but!

And then there's Roger, who arrived unexpectedly!

Suddenly, a radiant light of ecstasy, comparable to the sun, burst forth from Qingyuan's previously despairing eyes.

A miraculous escape from a desperate situation—

—A miraculous turnaround!

The two join forces!

Absolutely!

"Suppressing him for just a moment is enough!"

It would indeed be difficult for Garp and Roger to fight Rocks to a draw, but if they could just keep him occupied for a short while and prevent him from leaving, they definitely could!!!

Once the 'PYROBROIN' factor takes effect, he's doomed! Rocks, having lost his Devil Fruit power and with all his strength gone, tries to escape from God Valley, a place teeming with Emperor-level powerhouses.

Absolutely! Absolutely! Absolutely impossible!

This is something you can easily figure out with a little thought; there's absolutely no doubt about it!

"asshole--"

Rocks was furious.

Despite his weakening body, he tried to unleash his full power and escape, but he had only gone halfway and was about a third of the way away from breaking free when he was suddenly attacked by a combined attack from Garp and Roger.

One punch!

One sword!

Under normal circumstances, he would certainly not be afraid, and might even fight back more fiercely!

but.

Now?

Trapped on land covered with 'Seastone', surrounded by 'PYROBROIN' factors, the longer he stayed, the greater the suppression became. This was the natural enemy of Devil Fruit users, and even someone as strong as Rocks could not avoid it. He could only rely on his extraordinary strength to suppress his weakness.

but!

He didn't come to the Valley of the Gods alone!

"Whitebeard——"

"Shatter this valley!" Lox roared like thunder.

No matter how strong his restraint is, it's just a piece of Seastone. As long as this valley is broken and the things are buried, without direct contact, the impact on his strength will be negligible.

And Whitebeard!

Whitebeard, who possesses the Paramecia-type Tremor-Tremor Fruit, can cause earthquakes and shatter space with a mere gesture. For him, this is something he can do with his eyes closed!

"Edward Newgate, think this through!"

"That guy is going to plunge the entire world into the darkness of war! Once his plan succeeds, the entire ocean will face an unprecedented apocalypse... No place will be spared!!"

Roger unusually addressed him by his first name.

His eyes widened as he stared directly at Whitebeard, refusing to yield an inch.

This is a witness testified by heroes!

"Do you want countless families to be plunged into the flames of war and shattered by disaster?"

The last sentence.

It struck Whitebeard squarely in the heart, the powerful attack infused with the immense power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit freezing him in place, his raised naginata pulled back from its downward trajectory.

For once, he stopped swinging the Murakumogiri sword in his hand.

situation!

It seemed like a stalemate had been reached.

clang!

Whitebeard retracted the Murakumogiri, and the sound of it hitting the ground seemed to strike Rocks' heart, causing his face to turn pale instantly.

"Golden Lion—"

"Float this area! Quickly! Fill the surface with sand and gravel!"

Time doesn't allow him to be petty.

The suspicion that Whitebeard betrayed them can wait until after the war to be questioned. The most important thing now is to extricate ourselves from this situation.

The Tremor-Tremor Fruit won't work.
