Chapter 107: Steel Bone Kong's Defeat! The Second Ability
"Just you?"
Rocks looked at Steel Bone Kong and sneered coldly.
"With your current state, aren't you being far too arrogant?"
"Even without using my ability, you couldn't defeat me."
"You're simply delusional!"
Steel Bone Kong's fists clenched tightly. Veins bulged on both arms as explosive power surged. His figure vanished from his spot in an instant.
"Bang!"
Facing the incoming figure, Rocks merely raised an eyebrow. He clenched his fist and slammed it forward fiercely.
In just a short moment.
As the two figures clashed violently, terrifying shockwaves swept outward, forcing both the Navy and pirates to block with all their might.
Without a doubt.
Both Steel Bone Kong and Rocks had unleashed their full power in this moment. But just as Rocks had said, Steel Bone Kong—now two years older—
Was no longer his match!
"Ha!"
With Rocks' sudden shout.
Steel Bone Kong's figure was sent flying backward in a somewhat battered state. Even his justice coat behind him looked tattered. His expression was extremely grim.
Barely managing to steady himself in midair.
The Navy below watched this scene in disbelief.
Everyone knew this was a joint effort by a Fleet Admiral and an Admiral!
Such a powerful combination was almost unimaginable on any normal day. Yet against this Rocks, they couldn't gain the slightest advantage—and were completely suppressed!
Was this really a human?!
"Damn it… how can there be a pirate like this!"
"Even in the entire history of Marine Headquarters, no such existence has ever appeared!"
"Can we… really defeat him?"
The Navy soldiers who hadn't fainted under the earlier Conqueror's Haki pressure now felt doubt creeping into their hearts upon seeing this.
A monster like this—
Was it really possible to kill him?!
Steel Bone Kong shouted deeply.
"Don't be intimidated by this guy! Don't forget your families."
"If this world falls under pirate control, not only you, but your families and friends will all be dragged into the flames of war!"
"All we can do is crush him right here!"
Steel Bone Kong's authoritative voice steadied the many Navy soldiers. They gritted their teeth and once again steered the remaining warships to block the pirates with full force.
Sengoku's expression was extremely grave.
According to his analysis, the power Rocks had just displayed could likely nullify other ability users' attacks—making him a natural counter to Devil Fruit users.
But he also noticed one thing.
The black tornado from earlier was still present.
It was certain that Huang Long was still alive. After all, as an Admiral, he could rely on more than just his Devil Fruit ability—his mastery of physical techniques and Haki was also outstanding.
As long as they could rescue him quickly, the Navy's losses wouldn't be too great. But achieving that required defeating Rocks in front of them.
That was undoubtedly the hardest part!
At this moment.
While Sengoku was deep in thought.
A hearty laugh suddenly came from the other side.
"Rocks, I won't let you succeed so easily."
"If you really reach God Valley, the threat you'll pose will be far too great!"
"Though I'm not exactly on good terms with the Navy, I have to agree with what that old man just said—you must die here today."
Rocks heard the unfamiliar voice.
He immediately turned his head and saw Roger who had just arrived in this sea area. The other party gripped one of the Supreme Grade swords—Ace—tightly.
Rocks narrowed his eyes slightly.
He had naturally heard of Roger's name, but this was the first time meeting face-to-face.
Roger's arrival didn't surprise Rocks.
After all, with his vast intelligence network, Rocks had already investigated Roger's true identity and knew he was one of the hidden D. clan.
The other party's goal.
Was definitely also this God Valley that held the ancient weapon Uranus!
In Rocks' view, Roger's threat was absolutely no less than the thousands of Navy soldiers blocking his path!
"Kehahahaha! I didn't expect you to show up yourself, Roger. This actually saves me a lot of time!"
"I'll just deal with you too while I'm at it!"
"That way, no one else will try to steal God Valley from me!"
As his words fell.
Roger couldn't help but hold his stomach and laugh.
"Puhahahaha! Don't make me laugh, Rocks! Do you think everyone is as obsessed with power as you?!"
"This guy's really funny!"
"Right, Lotte?"
Lotte yawned lazily and glanced at Roger beside him.
"If you want to fight, just go fight. If not, step aside—it's my turn."
"I still have unfinished business with him."
When Steel Bone Kong saw Lotte, his eyes widened instinctively in disbelief as he stared at the young man's figure.
"That's… Lotte?!"
He had been completely focused on fighting Rocks earlier and hadn't noticed the other's arrival.
But how was this possible?!
In the earlier Den Den Mushi report, Night Leopard and White Fox had sworn that Lotte had no chance of survival—he was heavily injured and sank into chaotic currents.
What exactly had happened?!
It was only at this moment.
That he realized Lotte was still alive—and the unexpected arrival of the Roger Pirates!
The piercing laughter reached Rocks' ears.
It made his face twist into a ferocious sneer. He stared fixedly at Roger's direction and clenched his fists tightly.
"Are you kidding me!"
"You think I'll believe your nonsense?! Everyone knows that's the legendary Uranus!"
Rocks absolutely refused to believe Roger wasn't here for Uranus.
After all, once someone controlled Uranus, they could practically run rampant across the world—becoming the true king of the New World in every sense!
Compared to such power.
Being a pirate was nothing more than child's play!
From the beginning, Rocks had never cared about being a pirate. Forming the Rocks Pirates was only to achieve his own goal.
Roger grinned upon hearing this.
"Hahahaha! Rocks, you really don't understand pirates at all!"
"Even if you really obtain God Valley, you'll just be the next one overthrown!"
"What I want isn't that kind of thing!"
As his words fell.
Roger's figure suddenly leaped into the air, standing midair as he narrowed his eyes and sized up Rocks.
"Rocks, how long are you going to keep hiding? It's about time you used your real full power."
"Let me see it—your second ability."
