Just then, a "Bang!" sound rang out.
While Yamato's Frozen Fang had amazing power, it couldn't hold back Rocks for too long.
In that instant.
A uniquely strong power suddenly burst out from Rocks' body. This power, like a raging wave, instantly shattered the ice that had frozen him!
Ice shards flew everywhere, like a storm of ice.
However.
At this very exciting moment, Yamato's Rouga club suddenly flashed with a bright light of electricity.
The electric current danced like silver snakes, quickly wrapping around the Rouga club.
"Whistling Arrow!".
Along with Yamato's angry roar, she swung the Rouga club with all her strength.
A sharp ray of light shot out from the Rouga club, its force like a great swordman's earth-shattering slash. This light carried a world-destroying power, and struck down hard towards Rocks with lightning speed.
Faced with such a scary attack, a hint of surprise flashed in Rocks' eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
The corner of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing an admiring smile: "Nice attack!".
Clearly.
He fully acknowledged the strength that Yamato showed.
In the blink of an eye, Rocks suddenly waved his right hand, and also sent out a dazzling slash.
The power of this slash was even stronger than Yamato's attack just now, and the speed was as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it had collided with Yamato's attack!
~~~~~~
Somewhere in the New World.
On the deck of the Red Force, the Red Hair Pirates' ship, after Shakuyaku called Rayleigh, they learned that the World Economic News Company was now live streaming the battle on Mary Geoise.
So, they also took out a live-broadcast snail to watch.
At this very moment, everyone's eyes fell on Rocks, who looked exactly like Shanks, but no one felt the slightest surprise.
Because they had actually known about this for a long time.
Beckman stared intently at the live broadcast screen in front of him. The screen showed the woman named Yamato.
She was Kaido's daughter, and at this time she was showing amazing strength.
Compared to how she looked when they first saw her in Wano Country, she had obviously become stronger and more formidable now.
Beckman couldn't help but sigh softly, "Kaido's daughter… Compared to when we saw her in Wano Country, her strength has really grown by leaps and bounds, she's much stronger now...".
Hearing this, some of the people around nodded slightly, indicating their approval and agreement with Beckman's words.
At this time.
Lucky Roux, who was standing to the side, suddenly turned his gaze from the live broadcast screen to Shanks.
Then, as if he had thought of something, he casually said, "Um... Boss, I remember, he seems to be older than you, right? So, if we calculate it that way, shouldn't he be considered your older brother?".
Hearing this, Shanks responded softly:
"Yeah~".
"That's right, he did come into this world earlier than me, so it wouldn't be wrong to call him my older brother."
"But... Sigh...".
Speaking to this point, Shanks' tone suddenly carried a hint of indescribable regret, making people curious about what untold stories were hidden within it.
~~~~~~
At the same time, on the other side of the battlefield, an earth-shattering and shocking battle was in full swing.
The fight between Akainu and Kong the Steel Bones was as hot and violent as a volcanic eruption.
Akainu's entire body was rolling with hot lava. Every time his powerful lava fist was thrown out, it carried a world-destroying power, as if it wanted to tear the entire space apart.
Kong the Steel Bones was like an indestructible steel fortress. His body flashed with a cold metallic light. His iron fists were incredibly terrifying. Every blow contained a force of a thousand pounds, enough to split mountains and shatter rocks.
The two exchanged blows, neither giving way.
Akainu's lava fist and Kong the Steel Bones' Haki-covered iron fist collided again and again, bursting out dazzling sparks and deafening roars.
The surrounding air was distorted by their powerful energy waves.
The ground was also shaking violently, as if it would crack and collapse at any moment.
The battlefield reporters had already live-streamed the battles between Kaido, Garp, Dragon and Imu, Sengoku and Rocks' battle, and now it was Akainu and Kong the Steel Bones' turn. Several battlefield reporters aimed their live-broadcast snails at these two powerful fighters.
"Commander Kong, open your eyes and take a good look! Those high and mighty, arrogant Five Elders have all died! Even Imu couldn't get the better of things under the combined attacks of Garp Vice Admiral and the other two! Not to mention that Ryuen hasn't even entered the battle yet! The thing you've been thinking about and hoping for has already turned into a bubble, and there's no way it can come true!". Akainu roared with a cold expression, while constantly launching round after round of fierce attacks towards Kong the Steel Bones.
Facing Akainu's fierce attacks and cold words, Kong the Steel Bones showed no intention of retreating.
His eyes widened and he shouted:
"Sakazuki, stop talking nonsense here! The battle isn't over yet, the victory or defeat hasn't been decided! Haah!".
Before he finished speaking, Kong the Steel Bones waved his large, hard-as-iron fists and slammed them hard into Akainu's flaming lava fists.
Young master, there's more to this chapter, please click on the next page to continue reading, it's even more exciting later!
Instantly.
A deafening roar was heard, and the enormous impact of the collision seemed to tear the surrounding air apart in an instant.
"Commander Kong. You used to be the idol of all of us Marines, have you forgotten what you once told us! The Marines take it as their responsibility to eliminate all pirates and maintain peace on the sea, but you clearly know that the Celestial Dragons are the ultimate factor causing turmoil on the sea, but you are still so determined to stand with them! To be honest, you've disappointed us too much!".
...
Akainu's words made Kong the Steel Bones lose his mind for a moment.
Yes!
When did he start to change?
Looking back on the past, he was full of lofty ambitions and led the brave and fearless Marine soldiers in mortal combat with powerful enemies time and time again.
Whether facing the terrifying Rocks Pirates, clashing with the legendary Roger Pirates, or fighting fiercely with the arrogant Golden Lion Pirates...
Those exciting scenes from the past seemed to have happened just yesterday, and were still vivid in his mind, flashing in his brain like dazzling light and shadow.
However, everything now was different.
The spirited and righteous self of the past seemed to have faded away, replaced by a figure that even he found strange and even disgusting.
Just as Kong the Steel Bones was immersed in memories,
Suddenly!
A deafening roar suddenly sounded like a thunderclap from the ground:
"Hellhound!".
This roar instantly pulled Kong the Steel Bones back to reality from the tornado of thoughts.
It turned out.
Akainu took advantage of his moment of distraction and decisively launched a fatal attack.
Akainu's originally normal right hand turned into lava in an instant, and then quickly transformed into a huge lava hunting dog with a ferocious face, bared fangs, and roaring continuously, pouncing towards Kong the Steel Bones' heart with the force of a thunderbolt!
Kong the Steel Bones, who had just come back to his senses, was horrified when he realized that Akainu's fierce attack was about to slam hard on his body, his eyes widening.
But even so, it was too late to completely avoid this fatal blow!
Only a muffled "Pfft" sound was heard, followed by a series of harsh "Sizzle" sounds that never stopped.
Akainu's lava dog directly penetrated Kong the Steel Bones' chest without any hindrance. The hot lava instantly raged inside Kong the Steel Bones' body, leaving behind a bloody and tragic mess.
