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

Figo has no weaknesses now.

With his swordsmanship alone, he was enough to suppress ordinary top-tier experts in the world!

Of course, the reason he drew his sword at this moment was not to show off his dream of becoming a white-clad swordsman, but because his sword truly had its merits!

He shot backward, his wrist snapped inward, the black blade swirled, and flowing Armament Haki covered it. Figo raised his blade to the sky, and a force slashed into the heavens.

Dark clouds gathered, the sky cracked open, resembling an apocalyptic scene, and a torrential downpour began.

"Hmm?" Raindrops pelted his body. The King of Gluttony's eyes swept across the sky, and the dense dark clouds made him uneasy. In front of him, Figo had already leaped high and brought his sword down!

A dazzling blade of light flashed, extending beyond the Gluttony King's hundred-meter-tall body, resembling a crescent moon, poised to cleave the Gluttony King in two.

The Gluttonous King sensed danger, and his massive wrists quickly became covered with thick Armament Haki as he crossed his arms to block the sword energy.

But at that moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky and hit him on the head!

click-

Even the greatest pirates who can navigate the unpredictable weather of the New World can conquer the heavens, but when struck by lightning unexpectedly, the King of Gluttony still showed pain on his face, smoke rose from his head, his body trembled, and his Armament Haki almost collapsed. When it collided with Figo's sword energy, it finally collapsed!

Two bloody gashes appeared on his wrists, and blood sprayed down like rain. The Gluttonous King let out a low roar, dispersing the sword energy. He was also knocked to the ground by the impact of the sword energy and the tingling sensation brought by the lightning. Instantly, the earth shook!

'Celestial Phenomenon Sword - Lightning Strike!'

An electric arc danced on the blade as Figo pushed off with his heels, twisting his body and striking back.

hum-

His blade gathered rainwater and collided with Rocks's blade from a distance. Crimson lightning erupted, tearing and snapping, and the shockwave sent Rocks flying. At the same time, the water droplets suddenly turned black.

As Lox's pupils contracted, he was overtaken by the jet-black rain that was flying faster than him!

As if baptized by the Holy Lance, the raindrops, like bullets of immense power, shattered his Armament Haki defenses, causing him to tremble all over and vomit blood, which then embedded itself deep within the rock wall!

'Celestial Sword - Torrential Rain!'

"What is this thing?!" The voice of the Gluttonous King reverberated as he sat down on the ground and swung his fist toward the sky. With a loud bang, the rain clouds in the sky were dispersed, revealing a clear blue sky.

At the same time, the gale generated by his punch seemed to obey Figo's command. After Figo's knife swung slightly a few times, it wrapped around his blade and blasted out with his slash.

'Celestial Sword - Hurricane!'

A raging hurricane swept through, and the Gluttonous King's hundreds-ton body tumbled around, causing the island to tremble like an earth dragon turning over. Then, his giant hands crushed the ground, and he pounced on Figo like a giant beast, blasting Figo backward with his palms!

"This is a sword technique I created myself, and I'm using it in actual combat for the first time today." Flying in mid-air, suppressing the slight metallic taste in his throat, Figo replied, "It seems to be working quite well."

……

"How can it be this strong?!"

On the shore, Silver-Foot Chakamos, who had been reinforcing the island, couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. This was completely different from when he was in a relaxed mood and said he wanted to "see the world's strongest".

The King of Gluttony and Rocks are both no weaker than him, and their combined strength would bring about a qualitative leap. But now Figo has almost completely overwhelmed them. From physique to Armament Haki to swordsmanship, he is stronger in every aspect, reaching the pinnacle of the world, stronger than Figo can comprehend!

If this continues, the aging Gluttonous King will surely run out of energy, and this battle probably won't last long before Figo wins!

Not far from him, the vice-captain of the Rocks Pirates, Chrissy, and the other two top officers on the ship listened to the commotion in the distance, their expressions somewhat dazed and bewildered.

They originally came to investigate because they discovered Silverfoot Chakamos's abilities, and they weren't too worried about Rocks, as they trusted Captain Rocks's strength.

Even if you can't win, can't you at least run away?

But now...

Suddenly, another bald figure appeared beside Silverfoot Chakamos, causing the three of them to be startled and look at him warily.

“Lord Tekotemps,” Chakamos said gravely, “now… what do we do?”

Saint?! He's actually a Celestial Dragon?!

A hint of disgust flashed in Krissy's eyes, along with a barely perceptible fear.

Taikotamp Saint also looked at him.

“Rocks Pirates Vice-Captain Kriss, I can promise you with the World Government’s credibility that today, Silver-Foot Chakamos and I will not attack you. Go, go and help your captain and Garlin kill Gaston Figo.”

"The credibility of the World Government?" Krissi scoffed. The World Government still has credibility?

Taikotamp Saint suppressed his anger and repeated his previous words; he was serious.

If he could, he would even team up with the Gluttonous King, Rocks, to kill Figo. A Celestial Dragon teaming up with a pirate is a disgrace? No, compared to killing Figo, that's nothing!

Unfortunately, he was worried about the King of Gluttony's stance after seeing him and Silverfoot. If he turned around and joined forces with Figo, he and Silverfoot would be in danger.

"Neither the World Government nor you pirates want a strongman like Gaston Figo to appear in the world."

Chrissy agreed with the last statement, but he lacked confidence. Even if he joined in, could they really defeat an enemy that the Captain and the Gluttonous King couldn't win together?

What if we lose, or both sides suffer heavy losses...

To be on the safe side, it's best to evacuate!

He gave two winks to the two top officers who knew him well, and they immediately understood the vice-captain's intention and quickly ran towards the pirate ship.

Krissi, wary of the movements of Tekotamp Saint and Silverfoot, retreated until he was a hundred meters away before turning into a flame and flying towards the center of the battlefield.

He flew to the battlefield at top speed and saw that the Gluttony King still had some ability to fight back, while the captain was being beaten up in a sorry state. Even though he had heard about it before with his Observation Haki, he couldn't help but feel horrified and immediately threw a punch at top speed.

'Pillar of fire! '

A massive pillar of fire surged toward Figo, but Figo had already heard it. He swung his longsword in response, creating a whirlwind that gathered the pillar of fire and sent it flying back.

'Celestial Sword - Flame Storm!'

A single, improvised attack easily blasted Krissi into sparks, instantly making him feel Figo's terrifying suppressive power. He regrouped beside Rocks and said, "Run, Captain!"

Logia-type Flame-Flame Fruit? Figo sized up Kriss, a handsome man who looked almost like a girl, who seemed vaguely familiar?

However, Locke's first mate seems to be a bit stronger than those four duds, is he an SSR4?

He thought for a moment, then shouted, "Silver Foot! And that guy with him, who must be a Celestial Dragon! Want to join in the fun?! Five of us might be able to kill me!"

After he finished speaking, all was silent.

There was no response for a long time.

Chapter 79 Rocks in a Desperate Situation

"They wouldn't dare."

The King of Gluttony, panting heavily, replied to Figo, "They're worried I'll turn around and team up with you to kill them."

"I know, I was just teasing them a bit, and one against five is just too much." Figo smiled and looked at Lox and Chrisissy. "You're trying to run away?"

"Tch." Lox wiped the blood from his face, his expression one of deep resentment.

Beside him, Chrissy whispered, "Captain, this guy is not someone we can defeat right now. The Gluttony King is old, and his stamina probably won't last much longer. Let's run."

Upon hearing this, Locus looked at the Gluttonous King again, and finally a sense of retreat appeared in his eyes. The Gluttonous King also sighed and said, "Let's run away, let's run away. I'm really getting old. I'm already a little tired after only half an hour of fighting. I can hardly suppress my 'food craving' anymore."

“That’s not something you can just run away from.” Figo sheathed his sword, the chains on his wrist jingling in the breeze. “Enjoying the fight is one thing, doing everything you can to catch someone is another. If you’re going to run, be prepared, my next attack is going to be ugly.”

A terrifying aura rose once more, and a suffocating feeling enveloped Lox and Kriss!

"What kind of monster is this?" Krissi murmured, then his pupils contracted.

A figure suddenly appeared between him and Lockes, raising his arm and throwing a punch at the two of them.

Bang!Bang!

The two scattered their attacks, colliding head-on with Figo for the first time. Kriss felt that his elemental transformation was almost ineffective under Figo's solidified Armament Haki!

His arm throbbed with pain, as if it were about to break. Just as it was about to embed itself into the rock wall, he managed to transform into his elemental form. The raging flames engulfed the earth, turning a thousand-meter radius into a sea of ​​fire in an instant.

His Flame-Flame Fruit has awakened!

The spreading sea of ​​fire relentlessly pursued Figo, who was heading towards Rocks. With Krissy's arms waving, the sea of ​​fire seemed to come alive, winding into a giant dragon that tore at Figo's back.

The Gluttonous King's enormous fist was already hurtling towards Figo, creating a shockwave!

Boom! Boom!

The sea of ​​fire was extinguished, and the giant retreated.

As Figo paused for a moment, Rocks adjusted his stance, broke through the rock wall, and fled towards the coast, sprinting at full speed!

But Figo was faster than him.

Over the next three minutes, Lox was repeatedly caught up by Figo's heavy hammer, while the attacks from Kriss and the Gluttonous King helped slow Figo down until the very last time.

A soft click!

As Locks flew backward, his face filled with horror. The pulling force from his wrist forcibly brought him to a stop in mid-air. His heart sank. This guy had actually locked him and him together?!

After more than ten attempts, Figo finally managed to cuff the other end of the handcuffs onto Rocks' wrist—the capture was a success!

Enraged, Rocks swung his sword backhand and struck Figo hard, but it only produced a sound of sparks and metal clashing, leaving a shallow gash on Figo's body.

Figo reached out and pulled Lockes into his arms, then punched Lockes in the stomach with his backhand, almost making him vomit his guts out!

The fire snakes behind him tore and bit, leaving a burn mark on Figo's back. Figo didn't even turn his head, completely unconcerned. He then punched Rocks again, breaking his nose and causing it to bleed profusely.

boom--

A massive fist, coming from the side, struck Figo and Lox in succession, sending the two, who were handcuffed together, flying through the air and crashing into the wall!

Figo, who was hit by the main force, only spat out a mouthful of blood and was not seriously injured, but Rocks, who was grazed by the residual force, was made dizzy!

Then, Figo punched Rocks hard in the chest.

His sternum snapped and cracked, causing Krissy to cry out in horror, "No!! Captain!"

"This is indeed ugly enough." The King of Gluttony opened and closed his mouth, sticking out his tongue, which he enlarged and thrust at Figo alone.

"That was a dirty punch too." Figo finally couldn't ignore it anymore, and with a smile, he threw a side punch, his fist colliding with the Conqueror's Haki on his tongue.

After reaching the top level, the general level, Figo's previous method of overwhelming opponents with his physique gradually became less effective.

A strong person of this level has a physique that is basically at the top level. In terms of data, that's over 10. Even if Figo had five times the physique of his opponent, 50, could he kill him instantly?

No, physical strength encompasses stamina, resilience, and regenerative abilities, not just raw power. With five times the physical strength, Figo's power is only two or three times that of his opponent. Only with the advantage of Armament Haki and technique can it reach more than ten times. Such power could easily break through an opponent's defenses, but it wouldn't be enough to seriously injure or kill them in a short time, especially against a special ability user like the Gluttony King.

Just like the battle just now, even though Figo kept suppressing the Gluttony King and Rocks and constantly inflicting damage on them, if the Gluttony King hadn't been exhausted, he wouldn't have been able to completely defeat them in three to five hours.

If this is the case with one against two, what about one against three? Or even one against more? If the enemy uses alternating attacks and their superior physique to drag the battle out for days or even weeks, how will Figo find a way to break the deadlock?

How can he achieve his goal of defeating a top expert in a short time, even when facing an attack?
