Pirate: I'm cracked, but my mutation talent is incredibly strong.

"Finally found that bastard!!!"

"Fang Huo! Make the ship fly!"

"Chase!!"

Rocks wished he could fly over immediately and beat Yakuza Shiki to a pulp, for he had wasted several months of his time.

Anti-gravity, weightlessness!

Lateral gravity!

Without hesitation, Fang Huo used his gravity ability on the Sword of Gibbek, first floating it up, then accelerating sideways, rushing at top speed towards the distant airship.

On the other side, on the airship.

Having just escaped a vicious pursuer on an island, Shiki was in a fairly good mood.

With the power of the Float-Float Fruit, even that bastard would never be able to catch up to him in his entire life.

Once he becomes stronger, he will definitely take his revenge.

"You dare chase me for so long? I'll kill you sooner or later!"

Shiki looked at the two swords, which were riddled with nicks and chips, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

It must be admitted that Xiong's axe skills and strength are extremely powerful.

He is no match for them now.

Those who wield axes skillfully are monsters with superhuman strength.

"It seems we'll need to find two famous swords."

Shiki, who is skilled in dual-wielding swordsmanship, has not yet obtained the two famous double-edged swords, [Sakura-ju] and [Kureki].

"Boss! A...a spaceship is coming this way!!"

A gangster lookout shouted in terror at Shiki, his eyes wide as saucers.

He never expected that besides his boss's abilities, there were other airships.

Currently, Shiki is just a gang leader in a yakuza organization and has not yet formed a flying pirate crew.

So his underworld cronies all called him Boss, not Captain.

"spaceship?"

Shiki immediately rushed to the stern, looked at the sky behind him, his long golden hair fluttering in the wind, like a lion king.

"There's even an ability similar to the Float-Float Fruit!"

Shiki was shocked. He activated his Observation Haki to sense whether there were any powerful individuals on the airship.

The next moment, Shiki's expression changed drastically, and cold sweat quickly broke out on his forehead.

He felt as if a wild, monstrous creature was looking down at him.

This terrifying aura is hundreds or even thousands of times stronger than that of the ultimate assassin, Ferocious!

"Monster! Run!!"

Without saying a word, Shiki roared.

His underlings all slid the empty paddles to accelerate.

The airship that Shiki uses to float using the Float-Float Fruit ability still relies heavily on the power of the wind to navigate, much like sailing on the sea.

Therefore, Shiki's airships are relatively vulnerable to extreme stormy weather.

"Trying to run away?!"

"Stop right there!!"

Rocks drew his sword and unleashed a terrifying slash at the sky.

The shockwave sword energy, resembling the roar of cannons, was even more terrifying than Elbaf's combined attack, "Overlord."

The powerful shockwave, with an attack range of up to 5000 meters, blasted Shiki's airship into countless fragments.

"Damn it, Rocks, why are you so violent? Aren't you afraid of killing Shiki?!"

Fang Huo's eyes widened instantly when he saw Rocks's explosive slash.

Newgate's eyes burned with fervor; sooner or later he would reach that level too.

"The captain is amazing!"

Sambell's eyes were full of stars. If Fang Huo represented wisdom, then Rocks was the absolute representative of power.

Both of them are his idols!

"That's really exaggerated!"

Babel looked at Rocks in horror; his strongest move in Fishman Karate had an attack range of only a few hundred meters.

Rocks's strength was more than ten times greater than his.

"Hahaha! If you can't even withstand one of my moves, then so be it if you die!"

"Maybe it'll even benefit you, giving you a chance to obtain the Float-Float Fruit's power!"

Lox grinned, his anger having been building for months.

This Yakuza Shiki actually tried to run away! I had no choice but to get angry!

Above the sky filled with debris.

Shiki the Yakuza stared palely at the wood chips scattered in the sea. His airship and his underlings were all gone!

Even as he frantically dodged, he was still affected by the shockwaves and sword energy from the cannon fire, suffering considerable internal injuries.

What kind of monstrous power is this?!

Is this the power that humanity should possess?

"Gurgle~"

Shiki swallowed hard, wondering what kind of demon he had encountered.

"Hahaha! Not bad! They're still alive, looks like they're qualified to be on my ship!"

The Sword of Gybeck rapidly approached Shiki's location, Rocks' voice domineering and arrogant.

Shiki instinctively wanted to continue running away, but the next moment a force suddenly pressed down on him, counteracting his Float-Float Fruit ability.

This caught him off guard, and he almost fell into the sea.

"You dare run! I'll cleave you into a bloody mist with one stroke!"

Rocks unleashed his Conqueror's Haki with a frenzied burst, overwhelming Shiki, who had just regained his footing.

Shiki's face grew even paler.

"Stop! Stop! I'm not running anymore!"

Shiki simply raised his hands, giving up on resisting and running away.

These monsters are too powerful; there's no way to escape or defeat them.

"Get down here right now!"

Rocks looked at Shiki, who was still floating in the air, and gave a stern command.

"Right away!"

Shiki obediently landed on the Sword of Gibbe, his eyes quickly scanning the monsters.

When he saw the monster, Rocks, his eyes widened instantly.

This is actually Rocks, the world's most notorious pirate who has been making headlines recently for killing a Marine Admiral.

When did I ever offend such an important person!

"Yakuza Shiki, I'm giving you two choices: either join our Rocks Pirates or die."

Second, have a Davy back fight game with me. If you win, you can leave; if you lose, you either join voluntarily or die.

Rocks held up two fingers and glared fiercely at Shiki.

If Shiki chooses the Davy back fight game, he will definitely beat Shiki half to death!

"I'm in!!"

Seeing Rocks' fierce gaze, Shiki joined without hesitation.

He had forgotten his dead underlings and destroyed airships; he didn't want to be killed by the furious Rocks.

"Hahaha! Then welcome to the Rocks Pirates!"

Lox grinned, his anger largely dissipating.

If Shiki were naive, he really would have been ruthless!

Even if he's killed, Fang Huo can still take over the Float-Float Fruit's power.

"Yes, Captain Rocks!"

Shiki laughed and shouted, but he was still a little unwilling inside.

He was considering whether he should find an opportunity to leave the Rocks Pirates.

However, staying on the Rocks Pirates' ship for now seems like a good idea, as it can help evade the pursuit of the villain.

Moreover, someone as powerful as Rocks might be someone you could learn from to become stronger.

"My ship doesn't have that many rules. We only have one rule: the strong rule, and strength is paramount!"

Looking at the cautious Shiki, Rocks spoke directly. He didn't like to suppress his subordinates, especially these geniuses with the potential to become kings.

Rocks allowed them to grow stronger, awaken Conqueror's Haki, and rapidly develop.

Only those who are strong enough are qualified to fight Im alongside him!

"Might makes right, strength is everything?"

Shiki's eyes lit up. This rule was very much in line with his personality. He was never inferior to anyone and never submitted to anyone.
