Embedded in the silver-white crater’s rock wall, Rocks experienced the world’s disparities for the first time.
At the age of three, he had witnessed and heard a battle he would never forget. He had been chasing after Figo and Zebruth ever since. The Six Kings? They were merely stepping stones on his path to growth, not worth his consideration.
But seeing Figo again and having his full-powered attack easily broken, Rocks realized the insurmountable gap in their strengths.
To be this powerful?!
Struggling out of the rock wall.
Clenching his fists, an even more potent Conqueror’s Haki surged from Rocks’ body!
Some people shrink back when faced with adversity.
Some, however, grow stronger!
‘His strength is rising from SSR5 towards SSR6? As expected of Rocks.’ Figo smiled, supporting the Gluttonous King’s arm.
Not bad, the capture reward increased.
“Gaston Figo, isn’t it a bit much to be distracted at a time like this?”
The somewhat displeased voice of the Gluttonous King came from above, a gale blowing from the side!
The Gluttonous King’s hands, which were about to smash down, retracted. His legs, several meters thick, moved with surprising agility, kicking towards Figo with afterimages in the air.
Figo crossed his arms to block, and with a muffled thud, he was sent flying, rebounding off the side rock wall, creating a spider-web pattern of cracks in the silver-white wall before shooting back even faster, kicking the Gluttonous King’s stomach squarely.
The countless layers of fat in the Gluttonous King’s stomach seemed like a balloon, with Figo’s foot instantly sinking into it.
The Gluttonous King reinforced his belly with Armament Haki, trying to bind Figo within the fat, but a penetrating force suddenly emanated from Figo’s foot, bypassing the fat and attacking his organs.
Armament Haki – Internal Destruction!
His insides churning, the Gluttonous King’s expression changed, his belly exerting force, propelling Figo away as the massive body took a few steps back.
Like an endless spring, Figo’s body soared high, his speed extremely fast. Suddenly, another gust of wind came from behind.
It was Rocks!
As a man determined to be a king, he was unwilling to join forces with the Gluttonous King. But he had the resilience to bend when needed, not stubbornly facing insurmountable odds alone.
He wanted to know about Sapphire!
Facing a stronger king, fighting together with others was not a disgrace!
His long sword, wrapped in an even stronger Conqueror’s Haki than before, slashed at Figo. At the same time, his aura shifted slightly, his arm muscles swelling, permeated with pitch-black Armament Haki!
‘Demon Slayer – Ruin!’
Clang—the sharp edge of the long sword clashed with Figo’s forearm blade, separated by air, with dazzling Conqueror’s Haki light biting and colliding in between.
Six Styles’ Eighth Form – Arm Blade!
Buzz—
Another spine-chilling metallic clash echoed, the overwhelming force sending Rocks flying back once more. Figo was also pushed straight down, crashing heavily.
Boom!
The silver-white ground shattered under his feet, revealing the rubble and dirt beneath. The Gluttonous King, like a charging tank, swung his fist with such force that it seemed to break space, grinding towards Figo!
Figo turned and swung his arm heavily.
Six Styles’ Ninth Form – Cannon Fist!
A solid rectangular shockwave burst from his fist, colliding with the Gluttonous King’s punch, spreading a devastating force outward. The Gluttonous King was pushed back again, and Figo’s body tilted slightly from the impact!
SSR7 plus SSR6?
This combination was stronger than the SSR7 plus SSR5 from 25 years ago; this was finally getting interesting!
Figo took a deep breath.
Clenching his fists tightly!
Two explosive sounds echoed in the air.
The upper half of Figo’s clothes burst from the muscles’ expansion, his height shooting up from 2.8 meters to 4 meters, the thick muscles intertwining like ancient tree roots!
“War God’s Body!”
Unleashing his form from the Life Return’s constraints, Figo felt an unprecedented ease, a smile curling on his lips. His formidable aura stirred the heavens and earth, spreading indiscriminately.
Rumble—
The sky shattered, thundering!
Though surrounded by two, in this moment, it felt like they were encircled by him. The oppressive force almost made them retreat. The Gluttonous King laughed heartily: “This is your full strength?! How incredibly powerful!”
“Giant Elephant Fist!”
His arm, several meters thick, expanded again, his fist transforming into a small mountain, pressing down on Figo.
Figo rose and swung his fist.
Boom—
The disproportionate fists collided, the massive Gluttonous King felt like he hit a sky pillar, an unyielding mountain!
An immense force traveled through his fist to his shoulder, shattering the clothes that had expanded with his ability, lifting the Gluttonous King’s body and slamming it down heavily.
Despite the overwhelming pressure from Figo, Rocks was undeterred, his blood boiling. He slashed two sword auras, shattering the silver-white ground, and charged at Figo again!
Slap! Slap!
The sword auras, capable of cleaving mountains, were shattered by Figo’s palms. He stomped the ground, shattering it with a rumble, his body like an unstoppable drill, clashing fists with Rocks’ sword!
A spurt of blood, Rocks turned into a blur, embedding into the rock wall!
Simultaneously, the Gluttonous King’s massive punch struck Figo’s back, sending him into the rock wall. In an instant, Figo emerged unscathed, sprinting back on air, and kicking the Gluttonous King’s body, flipping him sideways onto the ground, causing a ground tremor!
Figo then turned, catching Rocks’ dual-wielded sword with one hand, blocking the Gluttonous King’s giant leg sweep with the other.
Three forces constantly collided and surged! The sky seemed to crack open, thundering endlessly! At the center of the collision, the silver-white ground continuously sank, the island appearing on the verge of submerging!
“Ah—” both Rocks and the Gluttonous King roared with full force!
The power on Rocks’ sword grew stronger, the Gluttonous King’s leg thicker. They unleashed their full strength, gradually breaking through Figo’s guard, slashing and imprinting on Figo’s body!
Boom—
A shallow sword wound.
A slight shock injury.
That was all!
“Hah!” Figo let out a shout, his muscles swelling another notch, golden Armament Haki flowing and churning over his body. At the center of it all, light seemed to twist, forming a chaotic state, the silver-white land tinged with gold radiating outward!
Armament Haki: 296954
Level 5, Top-Level Armament Haki!
Physique: 508359
Level 5, Top-Level Physique!
Two explosive sounds later, both were thrown back by Figo, tumbling and flying!
“Such Armament Haki, such a physique, hahaha!” The Gluttonous King, massive as he was, rebounded mid-air, shaking the ground as he charged back at Figo, full of oppressive force!
“Gaston Figo, from today onward, no one can claim to be king in your presence! But defeating us together won’t be easy!”
Amidst his roar, the Gluttonous King’s body swelled again, transforming into a hundred-meter giant!
Rocks, his face tightening, gleaned some understanding from Figo’s Armament Haki. The Haki on his black blade solidified further, his strength fully advancing from SSR5 to SSR6.
Feeling a rare sense of excitement, Figo’s grin widened as he loudly responded.
“Then… let’s give it a try!”
