Rocks Band: I have 48 Imperial Arms.

Like a floating fruit!

The Devil Fruit ability to make matter lose its weight could smash through a mountain or several palaces and buildings. Even if Garp and his crew shattered it, the disintegrating matter would be enough to create a shallow burial on the ground.

Chapter 159: Locke: This time! I'll carry the whole game!

"Shiki!!"

Rocks growled and roared.

The sound was like a thunderclap, and the terrifying aura surpassed any previous one, yet there was a strange emptiness beneath the fierce exterior, which vanished in an instant, as if it were just an illusion.

Whitebeard, burdened by ridiculous family ties and fearing the spread of war, was unwilling to take action.

Shiki!

This ambitious guy will absolutely not stop for such a ridiculous reason.

he……

They are absolutely ruthless and pure pirates who see human life as a stepping stone!

At this point.

Rocks was indeed very accurate in his assessment.

But--

Ambitious, so vast that he harbors the ambition to devour the world! Shiki the Golden Lion!

How could one possibly remain subservient to others forever!

Rocks is immortal!

He will never be completely liberated. Can a lion be called a lion if it is subservient to others?

he!

Golden Lion! Shiki!

It is a lion born to devour the ocean!

Instead!

Those ridiculous, artificially trained lion toys in circuses!

Driven by the power of the Floating Fruit.

While Rocks was overjoyed, thinking he was saved, Shiki was simply suspended in mid-air.

Three inches off the ground!

Not moving at all.

I stared intently at the ruins at my feet, as if I could see a flower blooming within them.

The remaining?

Forget about struggling to lift the entire building complex and smash it; not even a single grain of sand or gravel moved. It was as if they were in another void, seeing and hearing nothing.

They took the phrase "standing idly by" to its extreme.

'asshole!'

'A whole bunch of insatiable ingrates!'

Although he had expected it, seeing this scene still filled Rocks with rage.

Especially when he was in a life-or-death crisis, hanging by a thread.

"all!"

"All of you, attack!"

"Whether you get rid of these two annoying little bugs or bury these disgusting things on the ground, I will reward you with unimaginable treasures! ｀ ˇ!"

Lockes, trying to sound confident, shouted angrily as usual.

pity……

The powerful generals who were originally bound by the mission like oxen tied to a ring have clearly developed new ideas.

Although……

Unlike Whitebeard, they did not possess the compassion of a hero.

Unlike the Golden Lion, which is ambitious and possesses the spirit and ambition to swallow the sea, it is not like the Golden Lion.

but! !

As powerful beings at the Emperor level, they undoubtedly possess their own pride. If they were truly useless, they wouldn't be qualified to cross that threshold that separates them from the mortal world.

What they initially saw as a protector, the Black Pearl, became a constraint after the Rocks Pirates grew powerful. Their outward strength also bound them, preventing them from leaving.

But with Rocks around, they could only work as spare parts.

in other words……

Diving can no longer nurture dragons; the ship beneath their feet, the 'Black Pearl,' can no longer support their future!

give up!

They all stopped without prior arrangement!

The few powerful generals, regardless of their relationship with Lockes, all chose to stop.

Just like the golden lion, stand idly by!

A group of people standing.

It was as if they had all been cursed by the witch Medusa, frozen in place by her gaze.

Some elite cadres, however, were willing to take a gamble.

Find wealth in danger!

A bicycle turns into a motorcycle!

However, as soon as he made a move, Qing Yuan flicked her hand, and the thousands of wind blades she unleashed ripped away all the flesh and blood from his body, turning him directly into a pile of stark white bones. Those with stronger abilities could only endure a little longer in the vortex of the wind tunnel!

They are Devil Fruit users and dare not go to stop Rocks like Garp and Roger, for fear of being affected as well. But stopping a few henchmen is definitely not a problem!

Without the strength of an Emperor, it would be impossible to break through the World Government's defenses and impact the battlefield.

Even a near-general would not be an exception.

-

"listen!"

"You little brats! This is a mission! A mission unlike any other!"

"The greater the difficulty, the greater the reward!"

"I stake my reputation as 'Rocks D. Xebec' on this! Anyone who takes action will be rewarded, regardless of success! Even the smallest success will come with a Devil Fruit reward!"

"Upper limit - no cap!!"

"This is the culmination of my life's savings, the entire treasure trove left behind after conquering the seas!!!"

A cornered beast struggles, roaring with its last ounce of strength.

At the last moment, he tried to summon the Rocks Pirates once more, this terrifying behemoth, to drive it in front of him, and as always, turn it into a torrent to crush everything in its path!

Shi Ji, Wang Zhi, Yin Fu... they remained as still as mountains.

But a guy with a monstrous physique made his move against everyone's expectations!

Ok……

Of course it's not Kaido!

That idiot got a good beating from General Black Cloud, and he hasn't fully recovered yet. He's in danger even if he appears on the battlefield alone. He's been being led around by BIGMOM the whole time. Where does he get the confidence to interfere in this chaotic battlefield?

Yes--

"Esdeath!"

An arrogant voice boomed like thunder.

Before anyone else could react, the surging cold wave suddenly transformed into an undercurrent.

"Maha! Padma!"

Extreme ice swept across, freezing all molecules and forcibly locking their movement trajectories, creating an alternative time-stop effect.

"In a moment——"

A rare paleness appeared on Esdeath's usually aloof and elegant face.

The number of emperor-level powerhouses who can be reset.

Even though only Qingyuan put in her full effort to stop them, while the others just went through the motions, the sheer volume of power was still immense and undeniable.

Moment!

Freezing the scene for even a moment! That was already Esdeath's best effort!
