I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

Meanwhile, Rocks, who was the center of attention, ignored everyone's actions and gazes; in his world, it seemed that only Figo remained.

"How is the Holy Maiden?" he asked.

“She’s gone, four years ago. I saw her one last time. She passed away peacefully, and she mentioned you last time.” Figo said, “I told her you’ve done a great job all these years. The Navy didn’t have enough power to protect the whole world before, and you deserve the most credit for the New World’s 20 years of peace.”

Was he dead? As the past replayed in his memories, Lox suddenly realized that no matter how hard he tried to recall, he could no longer clearly remember what the sapphire looked like.

Challenging Figo has nothing to do with the Saintess anymore!

"To bring peace and comfort to the new world?"

"That's not what I want to do!"

Rocks growled, waving his hands around!

The pure white cherry blossoms turned pitch black, flowing densely around Figo and surrounding him. Rocks bent over, placed his hands on the ground, and poured his Devil Fruit power into him!

"Tear me apart!" he screamed.

Boom—

In that instant, the earth beneath Figo's feet suddenly shattered into countless fragments!

A bottomless pit suddenly appeared, causing Figo to lose his balance and fall into it!

At the same time, clusters and streaks of blackened cherry blossoms launched a devastating attack on Figo! Each blade fragment seemed capable of unleashing a powerful flying slash, and the combined power brought about a qualitative leap!

Paramecia type - Chop-Chop Fruit!

In its normal state, it can only tear the body of the ability user to pieces, providing absolute defense against sword strikes, even those from those possessing domineering aura.

However, the inability to withstand punches and kicks greatly limits this ability, preventing the user from fighting against stronger opponents.

But once the ability awakens, the situation is completely different, as if it has become a different kind of ability!

At this moment, the ability user can make the surrounding objects shatter into pieces just like their own body, and these objects can be controlled by the ability user, allowing them to fly and attack, like using their own fingers!

It's no weaker than any Devil Fruit!

Amidst the deafening roar of the shattering earth, Rocks once again challenges Figo!

……

In the distance, Krishini rescued an infant child, presumably a Celestial Dragon slave, from the aftermath of the battle. Observation Haki revealed the situation there, and her thoughts became somewhat complicated.

"Giggle..." The baby boy in his arms suddenly laughed and reached out to grab Krissy's face, bringing Krissy back to her senses and making her look down at him.

"Okay, let's take you to a safe place first." Krissy sighed and pinched the baby's red nose with her fingers: "This little red nose is rather cute."

*Smack!* The baby seemed a little displeased, and with a chubby little hand, he slapped away the hand that Krissi had been pinching his red nose.

Chrissy laughed immediately.

"If your parents are no longer alive, I will adopt you."

Chapter 131 I'm Injured

Blades and gravel blocked out the light, like a dark swarm of bees enveloping Figo.

Figo, who had sunk underground, closed his eyes and used his Observation Haki to listen to the sounds outside. His body and clothes were covered with Armament Haki, so no matter how the blades struck him, making a metallic clang, they could not harm him in the slightest.

Until a certain moment, when his Observation Haki locked onto the Rocks that was moving at high speed, destroying the earth, and burying him, Figo opened his eyes and threw a punch!

Filling him with mud couldn't stop him from swinging his arm even a fraction of a second before it exploded!

boom--

The rectangular beam of light easily pierced through the ground for hundreds of meters, creating a passage, and struck Lockes directly above the ground!

It suffered a heavy blow.

Rox coughed up a mouthful of blood and foam, his body soaring into the air and simultaneously breaking in two. He dissipated the force and used his precognitive Observation Haki to dodge a punch from Figo, who emerged from underground.

But Figo anticipated his prediction.

As his fist missed, Figo's wrist twitched rapidly, splitting the force into two streams, one striking Rocks' upper body and the other his lower body!

Two muffled thuds.

His upper body was smashed away, and his lower body was crushed into the ground, leaving Rocks unable to recover for a while.

The biggest weakness of the Chop-Chop Fruit user is that their feet cannot leave the ground.

After the split, there's no way to escape!

But clearly, Rocks was prepared for this vulnerability. The moment his lower body sank into the ground, he used his ability to split the soil into pieces and then disappeared into the depths of the earth!

Only the upper half of the body, capable of flight, remained.

At the same time, all the soil that was shattered by his ability also began to be under his control. Under the effect of the Devil Fruit ability, his attack range would become wider and wider, and his power would become greater and greater!

Gravel, blades—everything becomes his weapon under the awakening of the Devil Fruit, and new weapons are constantly being added. In just a few seconds, the entire Valley of the Gods is no longer what it used to be!

"Let it fall apart!"

Valleys turned into plains, and then into mountains!

The Chop-Chop Fruit's power allows it to reassemble things that have been broken into pieces!

bang——

The entire Valley of Gods split and reformed under Rocks's control! The pirates of the Rocks Pirates had no time to worship Rocks's world-destroying power; they all fled under Rocks's protection as the terrain shifted!

But the Celestial Dragons' elite warriors, and even four of the new generation of Five Elders, were horrified and desperate as they were swallowed up by the change in terrain!

Figo, who was at the center of the attack, naturally received more attention. Tens of millions of tons of soil were piled up and pressed down on him, sealing him firmly inside and suppressing him. Only Rocks' blade could pass through the rocks!

The blades sometimes converged, sometimes dispersed, searching for Figo's weaknesses, drilling into Figo's eyes, nostrils, and ears, and even viciously attacking other holes in Figo's body!

But no matter how many tricks Rocks came up with, no matter how many combinations of attacks he made, no matter how astonishingly powerful his attacks were, Figo did only one thing.

Fist!

Boom—

The mountain, built from the entire island of God Valley, suddenly exploded, like a volcanic eruption, like an apocalyptic scene, with shattered and rolling rocks stretching as far as the eye could see!

Rocks, who was in mid-air, suddenly changed his expression and raised his hands to parry.

Bang! !

With a lightning-fast hook kick, Figo's ignited body easily shattered Rocks' Armament Haki, even cracking his arm bones and sternum, causing Rocks to fall bleeding profusely!

boom--

Another collision! The mountain built by God Valley was knocked back to its original valley form by Figo's two attacks! Figo even deliberately found Rocks's lower body, which was buried deep underground, and made him kiss his buttocks, doubling the impact!

A punch and a kick.

A very simple and straightforward attack.

What is revealed is an absolute gap.

The strength is insufficient, and so is the fruit.

Rocks, now fully reassembled, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a trembling arm, his jaw clenched. Twenty years of chasing had not only failed to catch up with Figo's power, but had left him even further behind.

I couldn't even force him into that state of physical enlargement and unleashing his full potential!

I don't believe it! Rocks raised his head, his eyes filled with madness, and his Conqueror's Haki surged!

Figo, who had landed, also raised his head.

A huge shadow suddenly enveloped the Valley of the Gods below, which had been manipulated beyond recognition.

It was Shiki the Golden Lion. He actually used the power of the Float-Float Fruit to move another island over, and then... threw it down with all his might!

"Boss Rocks, catch!"

Lox's eyes narrowed.

His body split apart, and his arms lifted his feet, which could not fly, into the air. He forcefully threw them to the Golden Lion, who had flown to the side to catch them, and headed straight for the falling island, pushing upwards with both hands!

"Let it fall apart!!"

The entire island rapidly crumbled under Rocks' power, turning into clumps of dirt that flew through the air. At the same time, God Valley Island, also controlled by Rocks, underwent further changes, constantly altering its shape to block Figo.

At the same time, influencing two small islands with the power of his awakened Devil Fruit was clearly beyond Rocks' limits. After tearing the small island that Shiki had thrown at him to pieces, Rocks paused for a few seconds before letting out another roar.

"what--"

Blood spurted from his nose. Rocks forcefully swung his hands, his attacks twice as strong and his weight twice as heavy as before, relentlessly crushing Figo, slamming Figo's charging body back to the ground and into the mountain!

Those cherry blossom blades, which had multiplied from the previous fragmentation of Rocks, flew toward the overloaded Rocks and transformed into a massive sword hundreds of meters long in his hand, which he swung downwards.

The mountain peak deliberately gave way, falling towards Figo!

Unleash the strongest attack!

boom--

A massive shockwave erupted, shattering rocks that were then scattered and obliterated, the sea surged and roared, and the sky was already cracked beyond recognition!

On Roger's pirate ship, Roger, Rayleigh, Jabba, and others who had mastered the flow of Armament Haki stood at the side of the ship, pushing off with their hands to deflect the force, watching in awe as the battle raged in the distance.

On Rocks's pirate ship, Whitebeard used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to block the aftershocks. The pirates cheered and jumped for joy at Rocks's power, but their expressions changed again, and they fell into a daze.

In the ocean, Saints Tekotamp and Zachersu watched all this, their expressions suddenly turning bitter.

Wow, that's incredible! As powerful as a god!

But even with Rocks' godlike attacks, he was no match for Gaston Figo...

Oh well, the Celestial Dragons have no chance.

The massive sword, hundreds of meters long, crumbled!

The mountain formed by the two small islands was blown to pieces!

Lox, who was bleeding from all seven orifices, showed a helpless expression as a large hand pressed down on the back of his head, plunging it into the collapsing mountain!

His bones were shattered, and he was in a state of semi-consciousness.

Once the pain from the impact subsided, Locke struggled to turn over and looked at the figure beside him whose clothes were almost completely undamaged, falling into silence.

"Don't be discouraged." Figo looked down at him and comforted him, "You still have room for improvement. Your Devil Fruit should be close to igniting the flame. Igniting the flame is a qualitative change, the second awakening of the Devil Fruit. Before that, the gap between you and me is indeed too big."

“However, your attack just now was quite powerful, it broke through my defenses, and I’m injured.” Figo held out his arm to show him.
