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

"Your opponent?"

If it were you 20 years from now, the one who conquers God Valley, there might still be a slight chance of a one-on-one fight with me.

Now?

"Young man, you're still too green!"

With a loud bang.

Rocks was shot backward, bleeding profusely!

Chapter Seventy-Seven: One Against Two

Embedded in the rock walls of the silvery-white meteorite crater, Lox experienced the unevenness of the world for the first time.

Rocks could never forget the battle he witnessed and heard when he was three years old, and he had been chasing after Figo and The Brutus all these years. The Six Kings? They were merely whetstones on his path to growth, and he didn't take them seriously at all.

But when he saw Figo again, his all-out attack was easily broken by Figo, and Rocks realized the huge gap in strength that could not be crossed!

It's incredibly powerful?!

Struggling to break free from the rock face.

Clenching his fists, even more powerful Conqueror's Haki erupted from Rocks' body!

Some people become timid when they suffer setbacks.

Some people, however, become stronger when faced with adversity!

'His strength is rising from SSR5 to SSR6? As expected of Rocks.' Figo smiled as he leaned on the arm of the Gluttonous King.

That's great, the reward for capturing them has been increased.

"Gaston Figo, isn't it a bit much to be daydreaming at a time like this?"

A somewhat disgruntled voice came from above, and a gust of wind surged from the side!

The Gluttonous King retracted his hands as he slapped down, and his several-meter-thick thighs moved with surprising agility, leaving afterimages in mid-air as he kicked towards Figo.

Figo spread his arms to the side, and with a muffled thud, flew horizontally, bouncing onto the rock wall beside him, cracking the silvery-white rock with a spiderweb pattern. He then retaliated with even greater speed, kicking the Gluttonous King squarely in the stomach.

Figo's belly, piled high with fat, resembled a balloon, and his feet instantly sank into it.

The Gluttonous King enhanced his stomach with Armament Haki, intending to bind Figo's body in fat. However, a penetrating force suddenly emanated from Figo's feet, attacking his internal organs through the Gluttonous King's fat.

Armament Haki - Internal Sabotage!

His body churned violently, and the King of Gluttony's expression changed. With a burst of power from his stomach, he sent Figo flying, his massive body staggering back several steps.

Like an infinitely elastic spring, Figo's body was thrown high into the air at great speed, and suddenly a gust of wind swept behind him.

It's Rocks!

As a man aspiring to become a king, he was unwilling to join forces with the King of Gluttony, but he also possessed the courage to be flexible and not so stubborn as to fight alone when he knew he was no match.

He wanted to know about the sapphire!

It is not a disgrace to join forces with others when facing a stronger opponent!

His longsword, imbued with an even stronger Conqueror's Haki than before, slashed towards Figo. At the same time, his aura subtly shifted, and the muscles in his arms bulged slightly, becoming completely stained with jet-black Armament Haki!

Demon Slayer - Destroy!

Clang—The endlessly sharp longsword collided with Figo's wrist as he slashed back, the dazzling Conqueror's Haki tearing and colliding between them.

The eighth of the six styles - Wrist Blade!

hum-

Another chilling metallic clang rang out, and the immense force sent Rocks flying backward once more. Figo, too, was propelled straight down to the ground by the force, crashing heavily to the ground.

boom!

He shattered the silvery-white ground beneath his feet, revealing the brick and rubble that lay beneath. The King of Gluttony, like a charging tank, swung his fists with a force that seemed to tear through space, crushing towards Figo!

Figo turned around, shook his arm, and threw a heavy punch.

The ninth move of the Six Styles - Cannon Fist!

A solid, rectangular shockwave blasted out from in front of his fist, colliding with the Gluttony King's fist. The shockwave, seemingly capable of annihilating everything, expanded outwards, and the Gluttony King was knocked back again. Figo's body was also knocked back slightly!

SSR7, plus SSR6?

This lineup is stronger than the SSR7 plus SSR5 lineup from 25 years ago. It's finally starting to look interesting!

Figo took a deep breath.

Clench your fists tightly!

Two loud bangs echoed through the air, and Figo's clothes were instantly ripped apart by his muscles. His height rapidly increased from 2.8 meters to 4 meters, with his massive muscles twisting and turning like the roots of an old tree!

"The Body of a Martial God!"

Having finally broken free from the limitations imposed on his physique by the return of life, Figo felt completely relaxed, a smile involuntarily creeping onto his lips. His powerful aura stirred the heavens and earth, releasing itself indiscriminately.

Rumbling--

The sky shattered, and a thunderous explosion resounded!

Even though the two of them were surrounding him, in that instant, they felt as if they were being enveloped by him, and were almost forced to retreat by the raging wind. The Gluttonous King laughed loudly: "Is this your full power?! It's ridiculously powerful!"

"The Fist of the Giant Elephant!"

His arms, several meters thick, expanded again, his fist forming a small mountain, pressing down on Figo.

Figo raised his body and threw a punch.

Boom—

The disproportionately large fists collided, yet the gigantic Gluttonous King struck as if he were hitting a pillar supporting the heavens, Mount Buzhou!

A terrifying force spread from his fist to his shoulder, shattering the clothes that had grown to enormous size at his shoulder, causing the Gluttonous King's body to leap up slightly before crashing heavily back down.

Faced with Figo's terrifying pressure, Rocks not only did not back down, but his blood boiled completely. He swung his sword and unleashed two sword energies, shattering the silver-white ground once again as he charged towards Figo!

Snapped!Snapped!

The sword energy that could cleave mountains was shattered by Figo's slap. He pushed off the ground with both legs, and the ground exploded with a rumble. His body was like an indestructible drill, and his fists collided with Rocks's blade!

With a whoosh, a mouthful of blood mist gushed out, and Locus transformed into a blur, shooting into the rock wall!

At the same time, the Gluttony King's massive fist struck Figo squarely in the back, sending him flying into the rock wall. But in the blink of an eye, Figo emerged unharmed from the rock wall, running back at high speed as if stepping on the air. He kicked the Gluttony King's body, causing it to flip sideways and crash to the ground, sending a tumbling earth splattering through it!

Then Figo turned to the side, catching the long sword that Rocks was wielding with both hands with one hand, and blocking the giant elephant leg that the King of Gluttony was sweeping down with the other.

Three forces collided and surged continuously! The sky seemed to have split open into an abyss, with thunder roaring incessantly! As the epicenter of the collision, the silvery-white earth beneath their feet was also constantly sinking deeper, and the island seemed about to sink!

"Ah—" Both Lox and the Gluttonous King let out a desperate roar!

The power in the blade grew stronger, and the Gluttony King's legs grew thicker. They unleashed their full power, gradually breaking through Figo's hand defenses and striking the body imprinted on him!

boom--

A shallow knife wound.

A minor bruise.

That's it!

"Ha!" Figo roared, his muscles bulging even more. Golden Armament Haki flowed and surged throughout his body. At the center where he was, the light seemed to be distorted and turned into a chaotic state. The silver-white earth, mixed with golden light, surged outwards!

Armament Haki: 296954

Level 5, a master of Armament Haki!

Level 5, the pinnacle of physical prowess!

With two loud booms, the two men were simultaneously thrown back, tumbling and flying through the air!

"This Armament Haki, this powerful physique, hahaha!" The Gluttonous King's massive body leaped up in a somersault, causing the earth to tremble as he charged back at Figo, exuding immense pressure!

"Gaston Figo, from this day forward, no one can reign before you! But defeating us combined won't be so easy!"

With a roar, the Gluttonous King's body swelled and expanded once more, transforming into a hundred-meter-tall giant!

Rocks' expression twisted slightly. He gained some insight from Figo's Armament Haki, and the Armament Haki attached to the black sword solidified two more times, completely raising his strength from the peak of SSR5 to SSR6.

Feeling a long-lost sense of excitement, Figo's lips curled up into a wide smile, and he responded loudly.

"Then... let's give it a try!"

Chapter Seventy-Eight Figo's Sword

Boom! Boom!

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and thunder roared.

Beneath the dark clouds, a vast, golden light suddenly shone brightly, crashing to the ground and exploding like a miniature sun, its bursts of red lightning gathering in all directions! Rocks's slash had clearly intensified; though it missed its target, the aftershocks still reached out to Figo, who had moved aside!

Figo moved nimbly, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes up, sometimes down, as if teleporting in a small area, dodging Rocks's harassment, and then turned around to throw a punch that collided with the Gluttony King's giant hand.

The Gluttonous King, now a hundred meters tall, is almost as strong as Figo. When the two collide, it's like a volcano that has been dormant for thousands of years erupting, with a raging storm sweeping through.

Boom!Boom!Boom!

As the Gluttonous King retreated, he left three deep, enormous footprints, while Figo's lower legs sank completely into the mud.

Seizing the opportunity, the sun-like blade of light rose again, slashing towards Figo's nape. Figo's right leg, which was stuck in the ground, suddenly shook violently, causing the ground behind him to collapse neatly. This surprised Rocks, who lost his balance, but dared not weaken his slashing power, colliding with the wrist blade that Figo was swinging.

The battle of Conqueror's Haki resumed, and Figo suddenly placed his right hand on the hilt of his sword at his waist.

"Did you think it was just for show?"

The black sword was drawn, and with a single, decisive strike, it was unleashed!

The crimson light suddenly expanded, and a bloody gash appeared on Lox's body as he was thrown back again!

Figo then turned around and brandished his sword, his Conqueror's Haki materializing and enveloping the blade.

Click!

Fist and sword clashed, and thunder struck.
