Boom!!
The weather in the high sky changed drastically, and the originally clear sky with ten thousand miles of clear sky, instantly appeared dense dark clouds, blocking most of the sun's light.
The entire deserted island looked dark and oppressive.
In an open space in the center of the deserted island, El and Rocks looked at each other.
Rocks put his hands behind his back, and said unhurriedly: "Are you ready, El? I won't show any mercy."
Rocks actually didn't care about the three billion Berries, eight Devil Fruits, and a Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit.
He had originally intended, to directly reward these three things when an executive could bring back the Poneglyph.
But after learning that it was El who had brought back the Poneglyph, he had changed his mind.
Because he had always intended, to test El's current strength, but he had been troubled by not having a chance.
This time, in his opinion, was an opportunity, so he used the number of rewards as a reason.
To launch an exchange of blows with El, and force out all of his trump cards!
"Of course!"
El nodded.
He had to know that El's three colors of Haki, had all reached the third stage after so much training!
What's more, he had long since mastered Kurama Mode.
And yesterday, he had unlocked the chakra power of the Three-Tails, Four-Tails, and Five-Tails.
This had slightly enhanced the power of El's use of Kurama Mode!
Now, even when facing Rocks, El also believed that he had a chance of fighting!!!
"Clang!!!"
Hearing this, Rocks directly pulled out the Supreme Grade Sword at his waist, and the aura on his body gradually climbed.
A terrifying sense of oppression, spread rapidly in all directions with him as the center.
"Jie hahaha..... It's been a long time since I've witnessed Captain Rocks' strength." Seeing that a great battle was about to unfold, Shiki crossed his arms and laughed loudly.
Actually, no one in the entire Rocks Pirates knew what Rocks' current strength was.
Because since the battle on Hachinosu, the Navy had rarely launched operations against Rocks.
But instead, they had targeted those executives who had gone out to sea to find the Poneglyph.
So, they hadn't witnessed Rocks fighting with others for a period of time.
So they naturally didn't know, what his specific strength was.
"This El guy, is really bold, daring to challenge Captain Rocks." Ochoku said with a face full of disdain.
When he had returned to the Rocks Pirates today, he had heard the news that the two people were going to launch a battle.
However, Ochoku didn't have a good opinion of El.
"Obtaining Captain Rocks' approval, and he can take away three rewards, but..... I don't think he will be able to get them today." Kyo also echoed next to him.
"What a pitiful guy, he brought back the Poneglyph, but in the end he's going to end up in a situation where he can't get any rewards." John also mocked.
"You three, don't seem to have a good opinion of El, huh." Charlotte Linlin had a smile hanging on the corners of her mouth, and her gaze swept over the three people.
"What? Linlin, could it be that you have a good opinion of El, and think that he can obtain Captain Rocks' approval?" Kyo raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked back.
"Of course."
"Gura la la.... although Captain Rocks is indeed very strong, but don't forget, today's battle isn't to determine the victory or defeat, he only needs to obtain Rocks' approval, El can still do this kind of thing." Whitebeard also spoke up.
"Don't joke around, how could he possibly obtain Captain Rocks' approval with his strength." John retorted.
"Then want to bet once, John, three hundred million Berries!" Shiki also joined in the fun.
Whitebeard, Shiki, Charlotte Linlin, all three of them, had experienced the battle on Hachinosu.
And had personally witnessed El display extremely strong combat power!
So, they still had a kind of inexplicable confidence in El.
"Bet then!" John refused to be outdone.
"Since that's the case, I'll also join in, I'll also bet three hundred million Berries." A smile appeared on Whitebeard's face.
"Mamamama... how could this kind of thing be missing me." Charlotte Linlin also participated in this bet.
"Hey, you two, we are bound to win this bet, do you want to participate?" John looked at Ochoku and Kyo behind him and asked.
John and Ochoku simultaneously shook their heads slightly, and refused to participate in this gamble.
Kyo had been defeated at El's hands before.
So although he thought that El wouldn't obtain Rocks' approval, he didn't dare to participate in this bet of three hundred million Berries.
Not because of anything else, but because this bet.... was too big!
And Ochoku didn't know much about El's current strength, so he didn't dare to participate either.
"You two guys, are really stupid enough." John glanced at the two people and snorted coldly.
"Then it seems, that there are only four of us participating in this bet, if you win, we'll each give you three hundred million Berries, and if you lose, you'll have to give us three hundred million Berries each!"
Shiki lit a cigar, and said unhurriedly.
If John won the bet, he could reap nine hundred million Berries.
If he lost, then he would have to pay nine hundred million Berries!
"You guys just wait to pay!" John said with full confidence.
He had to get back the money that he had lost at El's hands, from people like Shiki now!!!
"Then let's wait and see, John." Charlotte Linlin and others, were also full of confidence.
In the battlefield, accompanied by Rocks drawing his sword.
El also pulled out the Grade Great Sword, Demon Slayer at his waist.
"Then let's go, El."
The corners of Rocks' mouth rose, and in the next second, he held the sword with one hand, and suddenly chopped towards the front.
"Swish!!!"
The blade tore through space, and emitted a violent booming sound, a sharp and with endless power sword energy, was forced out of his blade in an instant.
Only to see a sword energy that resembled a shark's horn, rapidly tear through the ground, and cut through space.
And rapidly attacked towards El with unstoppable force.
The terrifying sword energy, almost filled El's entire vision.
An incomparable sense of oppression, shrouded his body, and made him feel unprecedented pressure.
However, El also refused to be outdone, and held Demon Slayer in both hands, and suddenly chopped out a domineering and peerless slash towards the front.
The two sword energies, travelled rapidly, and finally collided in the center.
"Rumble!!!"
A huge booming sound that spread throughout the heavens and the earth, and covered the entire island, rang out from the center of the two people.
And immediately stirred up dust that obscured the sky and the sun.
However, the sword energy that Rocks had struck out, was obviously more powerful than El's.
"Swish!!!"
In the dust, the sword energy that Rocks had struck out, first destroyed El's sword energy, and then rapidly rushed towards El.
"His strength is much more terrifying than I imagined!"
El's expression became extremely serious, and he quickly swung his sword again.
And struck out a sword energy, and only then did he offset Rocks' sword energy.
At the same time, Rocks quickly passed through the smoke, and arrived before El in an instant.
Only to see that on his blade, a layer of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki was wrapped, and he directly chopped towards El.
And El also wrapped a layer of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki on the blade.
The two people swung their swords almost simultaneously.
"Rumble!!!"
Only to see that, before the two people's blades had collided together, a ball of purplish-red electricity appeared in the position in the center of the blades, and was spreading outwards, and spreading visible electric sparks.
What followed, was a deafening huge booming sound, a ripple that could be seen with the naked eye, directly shook the entire island.
Countless trees swayed violently, and the beasts on the island, were directly intimidated by this force and knelt on the ground, or were directly stunned.
"Th... Their swords didn't touch!".
"How is that possible, how could this kind of momentum erupt if the swords didn't collide?"
"Th... This could it be the legendary Conqueror's Haki Entanglement???"
"I once heard rumors, that when two powerhouses who have mastered the power of Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, attack, their weapons won't collide."
"Are you kidding me? Doesn't that mean that El has mastered the power of Conqueror's Haki Entanglement???"
The crew members who were watching in the distance, were directly stunned after seeing this scene.
After they learned that this was the power of Conqueror's Haki Entanglement colliding, everyone was shocked again.
It wasn't strange that a man who was unparalleled in the world like Rocks, had mastered the power of Conqueror's Haki Entanglement.
But.... how had El mastered Conqueror's Haki Entanglement at this age???
Staring at the scene before him, even Shiki couldn't help but say with some unease: "Conqueror's Haki Entanglement, huh? What a surprise, El..... actually still possesses this kind of power."
