Sailing: The crew members are all top-notch talents!

In an instant, lightning surged forth, compressed and condensed, and a beam of energy several meters in diameter shot toward Lockes below.

Without a second thought, Lox raised his hands, and black energy surged and gathered, causing dark creatures to open their scarlet eyes and growl threateningly at Reno above.

"Renault, underestimating me will come at a price! Swallow it!!"

With a single command from Lockes!

Countless dark creatures roared and charged forward fearlessly, one after another.

Boom boom boom

Boom boom boom-

Lightning pierced through the darkness, blasting the dark creatures to pieces, only for them to reassemble and reform.

The entire island trembled violently, the earth cracked, and the fissures spread rapidly outwards.

Countless dark creatures opened their blood-red mouths, revealing sharp fangs, and pounced on their prey like hungry wolves, tearing and biting wildly.

The divine lightning was gradually consumed and eventually detonated completely!

boom-

With a deafening roar, powerful energy emanated from the center of the explosion, instantly engulfing an area of ​​over a kilometer.

Darkness blanketed the land, and the island was shattered.

The shockwave swept across the sea, creating giant waves tens of meters high. The shockwave spread, pushing the two huge ships backward by hundreds of meters.

"What the hell is Reno? Even the boss's Dark-Dark Fruit can't work on him?!"

"Damn it, I feel like this guy is getting weirder and weirder!!"

"So Renault is this strong, no wonder he dared to challenge the boss!"

“Reno…” Kaido murmured softly, his gaze already vacant.

He had initially thought this was a battle with no suspense whatsoever, but now it seems...

It remains to be seen who will ultimately acquire this bargaining chip.

"how?!"

"Do you think the boss will lose? Or are you just itching to join the Reno Pirates?!"

A cold shout, as sharp as a hammer blow, struck Kaido's heart, bringing him back to his senses instantly.

"No, no, Boss John, of course I hope Boss Rocks wins."

Kaido immediately gave an awkward smile to cover his embarrassment.

.......

.......

At the heart of the island, a series of massive explosions occurred, with lightning and dark forces raging and eroding each other.

Reno and Rhodes, who were at the epicenter of the explosion, were oblivious to everything; they only had eyes for each other.

Black smoke billowed from every part of Lox's body, his form blending into the darkness, with only his bloodthirsty crimson eyes visible to the naked eye.

His dark power can be used not only to absorb damage and create gravity, but also to attack!

Reno, crackling with electricity in the void, stood out starkly against the dark island.

"Hehehehehe... Renault, although I don't know why Dark Gravity doesn't work on you, you definitely won't be the winner today!!"

"Noisy!"

"Wrath of the Gods - Azure Thunder!!"

Renault snorted coldly and pressed down with his palm, causing bolts of silver lightning as thick as bowls to suddenly fall.

Although this move is not as powerful as the former, it has the advantage of being more numerous and can be used instantly!

With Reno's current Observation Haki, he could easily cover the entire island.

Wherever his Observation Haki detects, lightning strikes!

Boom boom boom

Boom boom boom-

The terrifying thunder continued unabated, blasting deep craters into the ground as if it were tofu.

Ancient trees in the forest were snapped in half by a lazy man's waist, and birds trying to escape were instantly electrocuted.

The entire island transformed into a realm of thunder, sealing off all of Lox's escape routes.

As long as he remains on this island, he will be within the range of Thunder's strikes.

"Hahahaha... Renault, I knew I hadn't misjudged you!!"

Ignoring the several bolts of lightning striking him, Rocks let out a strange, inexplicable laugh.

He stared intently at Renault, his excited grin almost reaching his ears.

"Renault, you've satisfied me immensely! Even without your crew, with your assistance, I can still become the ruler of the world!!!"

"The day I become the ruler of the world, you will be second only to me, above all others!!!"

"Now you'll witness the true terror of the Dark-Dark Fruit!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge dark vortex appeared in front of Rocks. The powerful gravity tore at the earth, and lightning streaked across the ground, leaving dark marks before being sucked into the dark vortex.

"Renault, all you know is that the Dark Fruit absorbs damage and causes double the pain to the user."

"But I am Lox!!!"

"How could you brats possibly understand my mastery of the Dark-Dark Fruit?!"

“Open it for me!!”

Lox roared and waved his hand.

Boom boom boom

Boom boom boom-

The silver lightning, swallowed by the dark vortex and carrying a dark aura, surged out again, attacking Renault above.

"Um??!"

"You're using the Devouring Attack for your own purposes?!"

Renault frowned slightly as he neutralized all the lightning.

"As expected of Lox, he's not as simple as he seems."

It has to be said that Rocks's mastery of the Dark-Dark Fruit far surpasses that of the toothless man.

Having fought this far, he had a rough idea of ​​Rocks' strength.

It possesses a Devil Fruit that can counter all Devil Fruit users.

Superb physical skills, and three types of Haki that are comparable to his!

The only thing that left Reno somewhat uncertain was whether Rocks had a second Devil Fruit.

Whether he had held back or had not received anything, he did not know.

Of course, from another perspective, Renault is equally troublesome for Lox.

Whether it's physical skills or the three types of Haki, Reno is no less skilled than him.

His most prized dark gravity had absolutely no effect on Reno.

Moreover, Reno's development of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit is in no way inferior to his development of the Dark-Dark Fruit.

Most importantly, Renault never used swordsmanship throughout the entire incident!

He had known all along that Renault had been a great swordsman for years!

The swordsmanship of a master swordsman is extremely sharp, and even top experts would find it very difficult to deal with.

But so far, Renault has not used this tactic!

Damn it, am I being underestimated?!

Thinking of this, Lox was furious!

In his past battles, he always held back; no one could force him to use his full strength.

Why are we facing the opposite situation with Renault today?!

"Renault, don't waste your time on these pointless tests!"

"Let's decide the outcome with one move!"

"I won, you come with me. You won, I'll take my men and leave!!"

Los, who had lost his patience, spoke in a cold voice.

"Exactly what I want!"

Renault, of course, had no objections; if things continued like this, who knew how long it would last?

He immediately flipped his hand, and the Supreme Greatsword, Zhan Hai, suddenly appeared in his hand.

Clang

The sword is drawn from its sheath, and the humming of the relay system continues unabated. (2911九)

Since its creation, this was the first time it had sensed such a strong fighting spirit from Renault, causing the sword to tremble slightly and transmit a signal of excitement!

A liquid slowly covered the sword, turning it a dark red.

"So they've finally resorted to swordsmanship?!"

"Huh? What's this knife?!"

Lox narrowed his eyes, a strange unease rising in his heart.

Although he was not a swordsman, he had heard of the famous swords that circulated on the sea.

The knife in Renault's hand was not in his memory, but he was certain that it was no ordinary knife!

"But in the end, I am still the victor!!"

"Drink!!"

In his final move to decide the outcome, Rocks unleashed his full power, holding back all the strength within him!

Endless dark power was compressed under his control, and Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki converged on his fist.

Renault's heart skipped a beat, and his Observation Haki felt an unprecedented unease.

Even he was wary of this power!

He took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, the fear in his eyes had completely disappeared without a trace.

"Slay the Sea, let the world witness your true power!!"

Renault raised his longsword high, its momentum soaring into the sky and piercing through the clouds!

At the same time, Renault mobilized all the power within him.

At this moment, it all poured out!

Blood-red Armament Haki flowing, dark red Conqueror's Haki swirling around!

All of it converged on the blade of the Supreme Grade Sword, the Sea-Slicing Sword!

With the support of these two terrifying forces, the God of War of the Seas emitted an unprecedented tremor!

It's not fear, it's not being overwhelmed!

Instead, I was excited!!

I'm trembling with excitement!!

Because finally, 047 people can unleash its full potential!

A beam of energy, several times more powerful than before, shot into the sky, tearing it apart and creating an insurmountable chasm.

Even from a distance of hundreds of meters, everyone could still feel this terrifying power.

"This is probably the boss's strongest move!!!"
