On the east coast of Happy Street, the Rocks Pirates’ ship was about to dock.
Several minutes earlier, they had sensed the battle raging on the island and had gone on high alert. Using binoculars, they saw the Pegasus King fleeing through the air and then plummeting down with shattered wings, screaming until he went silent.
Vice-Captain Chris’s instincts had been on high alert, but despite his repeated warnings, Rocks refused to turn back, even when scared from a distance.
He rested his hand on his sword hilt, gazing intently at the center of Happy Street as if listening to something.
As the enormous body of the Gluttonous King rose, one of the Rocks Pirates’ officers exclaimed, “It’s the Gluttonous King! This old guy isn’t dead?”
“Could it be… that the four fools set a trap here, but before they could lure us, they attracted the Gluttonous King instead?”
“Yeah, the dessert feast!”
“Hahaha, that old guy is not to be trifled with. Maybe the four idiots will die at the hands of the Gluttonous King first!”
“No! That’s not right!”
“It’s not those four guys; the Gluttonous King is fighting someone else!” Chris’s pupils contracted slightly. “Be careful!”
They watched as the enormous fist of the Gluttonous King, coated with Armament Haki, crashed down heavily, colliding with something that made the entire island of Happy Street tremble and then continue to quake!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, four fists covered in Armament Haki collided in the air hundreds of times, the exploding wind blowing around wantonly!
The winds, beyond describable force, destroyed all the buildings at the center of the battlefield, pushing the wreckage in all directions like a tidal wave crashing toward the coast!
Under the observation of the Rocks Pirates’ officers, many pirates on Happy Street couldn’t escape in time and were swallowed by the debris, quickly losing their lives.
Moreover, the wind and debris soon reached their location, causing waves to roll on the sea and making their pirate ship backtrack.
“Who is fighting him?!”
The officers covered their faces with their arms, shielding themselves from the wind, their faces showing horrified expressions. At the bow of the ship, Rocks and Chris stood side by side, pushing back the shockwave with flowing Armament Haki.
“An old king from the past, the Gluttonous King is indeed strong. But who can fight him equally? From the attack style, could it be Admiral Garp?” Chris said gravely. “Captain, let’s leave here!”
“No, it’s not equally matched.” Rocks’s face turned grim. “The Gluttonous King isn’t his match!”
As if to prove Rocks’ words, in the distance, after countless punches, the gigantic figure of the Gluttonous King retreated repeatedly.
Chris and the officers were visibly surprised.
A powerful Conqueror’s Haki surged from Rocks’ body, almost tangible, shaking the planks of the ship and completely neutralizing the oncoming wind, exuding a deep killing intent!
“Captain?”
Chris hadn’t seen such killing intent from Rocks in many years, feeling like he was back to the days when he first joined the ship 20 years ago.
“It’s him, it has to be!”
With a dull thud, Rocks shattered the planks beneath him, rushing ashore, his figure swiftly heading toward the battle at the center of Happy Street!
…
On the west coast.
“Run! Run!”
Farther from the banquet hall, pirates were desperately racing against the debris chasing them. Those who were slow were swallowed, while the faster ones managed to board their ships.
“Set sail! Set sail!”
Several pirate ships quickly moved away from the shore, aided by the wind, distancing themselves from the coast. A few miles out, they heaved a sigh of relief, collapsing onto the decks.
“We… we survived.”
“Wait! Wait!”
“There’s a small boat ahead?”
“Is that… Silverfoot?!”
“No!”
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Several sword flashes later, the pirate ships were all cut into pieces. The pirates screamed in terror as they fell into the water, only to be struck down by the pursuing sword light, silencing them forever!
On the approaching silver-white boat, Taiko Tempest sheathed his sword, Koutetsu.
“So terrifying, that so-called world’s strongest.” Next to him, Chacamos said gravely. “Taiko Tempest-sama, do we continue as planned, or should we…”
He glanced at the golden Den Den Mushi on the boat.
Taiko Tempest’s confidence and optimism had vanished. CP0 had relayed to him the battle between Figo and the Four Kings via Den Den Mushi. Even he, facing four kings, would take half a day or more to resolve the battle and might not be able to capture them all. He certainly couldn’t overpower them like Figo did.
At that moment, he agreed with Laio La Saint: There shouldn’t be someone like Figo in the world!
He was too dangerous and had to be killed!
“We proceed as planned, Silverfoot.”
“Yes.” Chacamos nodded slightly, his figure shooting off the boat, using the remains of sinking pirate ships as springboards, quickly leaping toward the shore. When he needed more support, his feet coated in silver-white, just like Figo, walking on water!
Reaching the shore, his hands were also coated in silver-white, pressing against the ground.
“Silver City!”
In an instant, the silver-white surface spread rapidly from his hands, swallowing the ground, extending across the entire island, turning it all silver!
At the center of Happy Street, the fierce clash between Figo and the Gluttonous King had already turned the area into a massive crater, constantly at risk of breaking apart like Figo’s fight with Zebruth.
Sensing something through Observation Haki, Figo and the Gluttonous King stopped their clash. The Gluttonous King laughed heartily, “Silverfoot? The Marines are considerate, afraid we’ll meet the same fate as Zebruth?”
The silver-white light covered the ground beneath them. Figo bent down, tapping the ground with his fist, nodding. “It’s much sturdier now. Looks like today will be satisfying.”
The Gluttonous King panted slightly. “I’m old. Even if I were younger, I wouldn’t be able to satisfy you today. No, even going back many years, I couldn’t.”
“Well, here comes the second one,” Figo said, turning.
“Gastón Figo!” A roar came from that direction. Rocks, surrounded by surging Conqueror’s Haki, his black hair flowing, wielding a sword, stepped heavily on the silver ground, leaving footprints as he walked toward Figo.
“So you’re still alive. What happened to the Saint you captured?!”
Sapphire is fine; she’s now the saint in many more people’s hearts, Figo thought but didn’t explain to Rocks, simply saying, “Come home with me, and you’ll know how she is.”
The equally surging Conqueror’s Haki burst from Figo, pushing Rocks’ Haki back within ten meters, clashing fiercely!
“Hahaha, count me in!” The Gluttonous King laughed, joining in with his own surging Conqueror’s Haki.
Figo turned slightly, pushing back the Gluttonous King’s Haki too.
The three solid Conqueror’s Haki surged and retreated, causing the silver ground to tremble, making the sky seem to crack and fold inward!
Conqueror’s Haki: 115640
Level 5, Top-Level Conqueror’s Haki!
Among all his abilities, Conqueror’s Haki was the one Figo had almost never improved through the prison records, but his power brought a spirit that wouldn’t lose to these two!
Boom!
The three Conqueror’s Haki exploded upon collision, transforming into a storm sweeping in all directions.
The Gluttonous King praised, “Not bad, Rocks. Compared to those four guys, you have a bit of a king’s demeanor. Let’s go together, boy, and see if Gastón Figo defeats us, the old and new kings, to become the king of the world, or if we crush him and send him back to be the warden!”
“Who wants to team up with you, old man? He’s my opponent!” Rocks, unappreciative, charged at Figo alone, sword in hand.
In an instant, he crossed the hundred-meter distance between them, red lightning enveloping his blade.
“Demon Slayer!”
A fearsome demon appeared around him, the long sword seemingly slicing through space, becoming the demon’s fangs, aiming to pierce Figo’s body!
He struck with a killing move!
But the next moment, Rocks’ killing intent froze on his face. Figo simply raised his right hand, covered in Armament Haki, catching the blade, crushing the Conqueror’s Haki around it, and shattering the demon’s illusion!
The killing move dissipated like a breeze.
“Your opponent?”
Twenty years later, when you attack God Valley, you might have a chance against me.
Now?
“You’re too young, kid!”
Boom.
Rocks spat blood, shooting backward!
