"Finally found the bastard!!!"
"Fang Huo! Quickly make the ship fly!"
"Chase!!"
Rocks wished he could fly over immediately and beat Gangster Shiki into a pulp; he had wasted several months of his time.
'Anti-Gravity · Weightlessness!'
'Horizontal Gravity!'
Fang Huo did not delay, directly using his Gravity Ability on the gibecks sword, first making it float, then accelerating horizontally, charging at high speed toward the distant Flying Battleship.
On the other side, on the Flying Battleship.
Shiki, who had just escaped the pursuit of Gangster Killer - Kyo on an island, was in a fairly good mood.
With the Float-Float Fruit ability, that bastard Gangster Killer - Kyo would never be able to catch up to him in his entire life.
Once his strength grew, he would definitely take his revenge.
"Daring to chase me for so long, I'll slaughter you sooner or later!"
Shiki looked at his two swords, which were covered in nicks, a trace of annoyance in his eyes.
He had to admit, Gangster Killer - Kyo's axe skills and strength were both extremely powerful.
He was simply no match for him right now.
Experts who were good with axes were all monsters with strength that surpassed ordinary people.
"Looks like I need to find two famous swords."
Shiki, who excelled in dual-sword style swordsmanship, had not yet obtained the two famous dual blades, "sakura jū" and "Kumu".
"Boss! There... there's a flying ship rushing over!!"
A gangster lookout shouted in terror at Shiki, his eyes wide as bells.
He hadn't expected that besides his boss's ability, there would actually be another Flying Battleship.
At the moment, Shiki was just a boss of a gangster gang and had not yet established the Flying Pirates.
Therefore, his gangster underlings all called him Boss, not Captain.
"A flying ship?"
Shiki immediately rushed to the stern and looked at the sky behind him, his long golden hair fluttering in the wind, looking like a lion king.
"There's actually an ability similar to the Float-Float Fruit!"
Shiki was greatly shocked. He activated his Observation Haki to sense the people on this Flying Battleship, wondering if there were any strong individuals.
The next moment, Shiki's expression changed drastically, and cold sweat broke out rapidly on his forehead.
He felt as if a savage monster was looking down on him.
This terrifying aura was a hundred, a thousand times stronger than Gangster Killer - Kyo!
"It's a monster! Run away!!"
Shiki roared without a second thought.
His underlings scrambled to row the air oars to accelerate.
The Flying Battleship that Shiki floated using the Float-Float Fruit ability still relied heavily on the power of the wind to sail, much like sailing on the sea.
Therefore, Shiki's Flying Battleship was relatively afraid of extreme stormy weather.
"Still want to run!!"
"Stop for me!!"
Rocks drew his sword and unleashed a terrifying slash toward the sky.
The shockwave sword energy, which sounded like a cannon blast, was even more terrifying than Elbaf's combined technique, "Nation-State".
The super-strong shockwave slash, with an attack range reaching 5000 meters, directly blasted Shiki's Flying Battleship into dust that filled the sky.
"Damn it, Rocks, why are you so irritable? Aren't you afraid of killing Shiki!"
Fang Huo's eyes widened instantly when he saw Rocks' explosive slash.
Newgate's eyes were full of burning passion; sooner or later, he would also reach this level.
"Captain is so strong!"
Sanbel's eyes were filled with stars. If Fang Huo was the representative of wisdom, then Rocks was the absolute representative of strength.
Both of them were his idols!
"That's really exaggerated!"
Babel looked at Rocks in shock. His strongest Fishman Karate technique only had an attack range of a few hundred meters.
Rocks' strength was more than ten times his own.
"wahaha! If he can't even take one of my moves, then he deserves to die!"
"Maybe it would even be a bargain for you, giving you a chance to obtain the Float-Float Fruit ability!"
Rocks grinned and laughed, his anger having accumulated for several months.
This Gangster Shiki actually wanted to run; it was impossible not to get angry!
Above the sky filled with debris.
Gangster Shiki looked pale as he watched the wood chips falling into the sea. His Flying Battleship and underlings were all gone!
Even he had been grazed by the cannon-like shockwave sword energy while frantically dodging, suffering significant internal injuries.
What kind of monster strength is this!
Is this strength that a human should possess!
"Gulp~"
Shiki swallowed his saliva, wondering what kind of devil he had encountered.
"wahahaha! Not bad! To have survived this, it seems you are qualified to board my ship!"
The gibecks sword quickly approached the place where Shiki was. Rocks' voice was domineering and arrogant.
Shiki instinctively wanted to continue fleeing, but the next moment, a force of gravity suddenly pressed down on him, conflicting with his Float-Float Fruit ability.
This caught him off guard, and he almost fell into the sea.
"Still daring to run! I'll split you into a mist of blood with one slash!"
Rocks' Haoshoku exploded wildly, ruthlessly crushing Shiki, who had just steadied himself.
Shiki's face turned even paler.
"Stop, stop, stop! I won't run anymore!"
Shiki directly raised both hands, giving up resistance and escape.
These monsters were too strong; he couldn't escape and couldn't win.
"Get down here!"
Rocks looked at Shiki, who still dared to float in the air, and commanded in a fierce voice.
"Right away, right away!"
Shiki honestly landed on the gibecks sword, his eyes quickly scanning these monsters.
When he saw clearly that this monster was Rocks, his eyes widened instantly.
This was actually the worlds worst pirate · Rocks, who had recently been the talk of the town for killing an Admiral.
When did he provoke such a big shot!
"Gangster Shiki, I'll give you two choices. One, join our Rocks Pirates directly, or die."
"Two, have a Davy Back Fight game with me. If you win, you can leave. If you lose, you join voluntarily, or die."
Rocks held up two fingers, looking at Shiki with fierce eyes.
If Shiki chose the Davy Back Fight game, he would definitely beat Shiki half to death!
"I'll join!!"
Seeing Rocks' fierce gaze, Shiki joined without a second thought.
He had already forgotten about his dead underlings and the destroyed Flying Battleship; he didn't want to be beaten to death by the furious Rocks.
"wahahaha! Then welcome to the Rocks Pirates!"
Rocks grinned and laughed, most of the anger on his face dissipating.
If Shiki hadn't been sensible, he really would have been ruthless!
Anyway, even if he killed him, Fang Huo could still take over the Float-Float Fruit ability.
"Yes, Captain Rocks!"
Shiki shouted with a dry laugh, but deep down he was still a bit unwilling.
He was considering whether to find an opportunity to leave the Rocks Pirates.
However, staying on the Rocks Pirates ship for now seemed pretty good, and he could also avoid the pursuit of Gangster Killer - Kyo.
Moreover, with such a powerful Rocks, he might even be able to learn from him and make himself stronger.
"There aren't that many rules on my ship. We only have one rule, and that is: respect the strong, strength is supreme!"
Rocks looked at the cautious Shiki and spoke directly. He didn't like suppressing his subordinates, especially these geniuses who possessed the qualifications of a king.
Rocks let them become stronger, awaken Haoshoku, and grow rapidly.
Only by being strong enough would they be qualified to go with him to deal with Imu!
"Respect the strong, strength is supreme?"
Shiki's eyes lit up. This rule fit his personality very well; he had never been weaker than others in his life and wouldn't submit to anyone.
