"More-More · Hundredfold Gun!"
At the same time, the Devil Fruit ability was activated, and the bullet, which was originally only the size of a finger, instantly became larger than a cannonball, and its power was instantly amplified a hundred times!
"Kuhahahaha, this is actually true!"
Golden Lion saw this scene and instantly knew that what Nox had said before was true.
If this guy directly amplifies the power of a cannon, wouldn't it be even more terrifying?
"This level of strength is not enough to be equal with me!"
The moment World fired, Silver Axe stepped forward and, facing World's hundred-times amplified bullet, split it in half with just one swing of his axe.
Let alone a bullet amplified a hundred times, even a cannon amplified a hundred times would just be a matter of one axe swing for Silver Axe.
World naturally didn't think he could prove himself with one shot; the moment Silver Axe stepped forward, he knew the person in front of him was his opponent.
"Soru!!"
"More-More · Fifty-Times Speed!!"
World used his fruit to instantly burst out with fifty times the extreme speed, and the speed that broke the sound barrier instantly made him rush in front of Silver Axe in the blink of an eye.
The sudden surge in speed was so great that even Silver Axe couldn't react; he subconsciously used the blade of his Silver Axe to block in front of him.
The sword at World's waist was unsheathed, covered in Busoshoku Haki, and instantly he unleashed his strongest strike.
"More-More · Hundred-Times Slash!!!"
The slash, which had originally gained a fifty-times speed boost, was instantly amplified a hundred times by World using his fruit ability; this exaggerated explosive power directly sent Silver Axe flying over a thousand meters!
It should be known that Silver Axe is a Riki Riki Fruit user, coupled with his natural monstrous strength, yet he was sent flying by World's single strike, showing just how powerful World's previous attack was.
However, Nox could sense that after World finished unleashing this strike, his breathing was somewhat ragged, showing that this attack consumed a considerable amount of his stamina.
"Wahahahaha, Bondi World, welcome to the Rocks Pirates, from today onwards, you are an Executive Officer of the Rocks Pirates!"
Seeing this scene, Rocks directly granted World the status of an Executive Officer, not letting World continue fighting Silver Axe at all.
"Hey, hey, hey, that guy World is truly a monster, he actually managed to send Silver Axe flying!"
"The Rocks Pirates have another Executive Officer? That's truly terrifying, I really don't know how much stronger the Rocks Pirates will continue to grow."
"Hahaha, our Rocks Pirates have become stronger again, I'm going to pledge allegiance to that new Executive Officer."
"..."
After Rocks announced World's status, the Pirates present all cheered.
The addition of a new Executive Officer meant that the Rocks Pirates were further strengthened; as members of the Rocks Pirates, they were naturally happy to see this scene.
"Hahaha, Brother, I've become an Executive Officer of the Rocks Pirates!!!"
World heard Rocks' declaration and laughed wildly with excitement, immediately sharing his joy with his brother.
Currently, World has a very good relationship with his brother; World likes to share any good news with his brother.
"My little ones, to celebrate the arrival of the new Executive Officer World, let's have a feast!!!"
Rocks said loudly and cheerfully.
"Oh!!!"
"Let's feast!!"
"I love feasting the most!"
"..."
Instantly, due to World's arrival, the entire Beehive Island was immersed in the revelry of the feast.
"Rocks Pirates New Executive Officer: Bondi World!!!"
"The absolute ruler of the New World, the Rocks Pirates, has added another Executive Officer!!"
"Shocking, the Roger Pirates actually rejected the Rocks Pirates' recruitment offer!!"
"A great battle broke out between the Roger Pirates and two Executive Officers of the Rocks Pirates!!"
"..."
While the feast was being held on Beehive Island, reports about the Rocks Pirates were being sent to the whole World.
Marineford:
"Bang!!!!"
"Damn World, this guy actually joined the Rocks Pirates!!"
Brac looked at the newspaper in his hand, so angry he almost smashed the table in front of him.
"Damn it, we almost caught him before, I didn't expect we were a step too late!"
Sengoku was also very angry at this moment; previously, he and Garp had teamed up to try and catch World, but World escaped using his fruit ability to accelerate.
Originally, Sengoku was planning to bring Zephyr along to Encirclement and suppression World next time, but he didn't expect World to join the Rocks Pirates first.
This is very troublesome now; they, the Marine, are very clear about how powerful World's More-More Fruit ability is.
If the Rocks Pirates were to equip World with a super cannon and fully utilize World's ability.
Then when the Marine face the Rocks Pirates in the future, their losses will be very significant.
"Where is that guy Roger? I'm going to catch him!"
While others were concerned about World's intelligence, this guy Garp was specifically looking at Roger's information; after hearing that Roger and the Rocks Pirates had a conflict, Garp felt this was a good opportunity to catch Roger.
"Garp, you quiet down!"
"Now that the Roger Pirates and the Rocks Pirates are in conflict, it's a good thing for us; we can provide the Roger Pirates' location to Rocks, letting the Rocks Pirates and Roger Pirates clash, to alleviate the pressure on our Marine and consume the strength of the Pirates."
Brac said sternly.
"No, if Rocks takes action himself, he might directly subdue the Roger Pirates, Fleet Admiral, this risk is too great, we should reconsider."
Hearing Brac's words, Tsuru, who was nearby, spoke up to remind him.
"Yes, it was indeed my oversight."
"Then let's increase World's bounty first; as for the Roger Pirates, let's leave them for now, they are in the New World, and our Marine cannot bypass the Rocks Pirates to capture them."
"After we and the World Government jointly deal with the Rocks Pirates, we will then handle the Roger Pirates."
Brac rubbed his brow and said, there have been a lot of troubles recently, and none of them have gone smoothly; the origin of everything is the Rocks Pirates, this cancerous tumor.
Beehive Island:
After the feast ended, most Pirates fell asleep immediately, while a small number of Executive Officers and Pirates left the feast and returned to their own quarters.
For example, the Executive Officer Kurozumi Higurashi, returned to her quarters drunk after the feast ended.
As for her younger brother, Kurozumi Mumaru, he had already gotten drunk and passed out at the feast location.
Nox was the same; after the feast ended, he left the feast and came to Kurozumi Higurashi's quarters.
"Stop, this is the quarters of Lord Kurozumi Higurashi, strangers are not allowed to enter!"
However, as soon as Nox arrived here, he was stopped by people; these people were all wearing kimonos, with swords at their waists, dressed as Samurai.
"Hmm? I'm going to find Kurozumi Higurashi, are you going to stop me?"
When Nox saw someone blocking him, the drunken look on his face instantly disappeared.
Even though his Haoshoku Haki didn't burst forth, his own aura was enough to make the two guards at the gate almost unable to breathe!
Seeing the two guys guarding the gate standing there dumbfounded, Nox walked straight in.
"Phew, that was too terrifying, I misjudged just now, that was actually Limitless Great Swordsman Nox, I actually blocked Limitless Great Swordsman Nox!!"
"Is that the Limitless Great Swordsman who broke the World Grand Swordmaster's record? Too terrifying, even in our Wano Country, I'm afraid there is no one who can compare with him."
The two Samurai guarding the gate, after Nox left, seemed to have lifted a huge rock pressing down on them and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Zazazazaza, isn't this Executive Officer Nox? How come you have time to come here right after the feast ended?"
The originally drunk Kurozumi Higurashi instantly sobered up after sensing Nox's arrival and even specially poured a glass of wine for Nox.
"I won't drink any more wine, I've had enough at the feast."
"You should be someone from Wano Country, right?"
Nox stared at Kurozumi Higurashi in front of him and said.
"Wano Country? How do you know the name Wano Country?"
Hearing Nox's words, Kurozumi Higurashi instantly became alert; it should be known that Wano Country had closed its borders and had no contact with the outside world, and after hundreds of years, there was no information about Wano Country in the outside world at all.
"When I was in the Four Seas area before, I met a Samurai who claimed to be from the Shimotsuki family of Wano Country; he told me some things about Wano Country."
"You have so many Samurai following you here, so I knew you were someone from Wano Country, and your status isn't low."
"I heard that Wano Country has a technique for using Busoshoku Haki called Ryuo, you should know it, teach it to me!"
Nox's sharp eyes stared at Kurozumi Higurashi, which put Kurozumi Higurashi under great pressure.
It should be known that the reason she could become an Executive Officer of the Rocks Pirates was not because of her strength, but because she knew how to translate some rio poneglyph, which was why Rocks favored her and made her an Executive Officer.
Her strength compared to Nox's was far inferior.
"Zazazazaza, wanting the training method for Ryuo is not impossible."
"But you should know, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world; if you promise me one thing, I will give you the training method for Ryuo, how about it?"
Kurozumi Higurashi was also someone who had seen much of the World; she wouldn't be easily intimidated by Nox.
Furthermore, this is Beehive Island, and many Executive Officers and Rocks are here; she didn't believe Nox would dare to kill her here.
With Ryuo in her hands, it could be said that Nox was begging her, so her courage grew even bigger!
"Clang!!!"
However, responding to Kurozumi Higurashi was Nox's Seven Star Sword; the eerie blade cut through the skin of Kurozumi Higurashi's throat, and the blood was swallowed by the Seven Star Sword.
At this moment, Kurozumi Higurashi clearly perceived the icy cold sword edge at her throat, which could take her life in the next instant!
Looking at Nox's cold and ruthless gaze again, she finally remembered that this guy in front of her was once known as the Headhunting Swordsman.
When he first joined the Rocks Pirates' recruitment event, he was the ruthless man who personally cut off over a thousand heads, one sword strike at a time!
"There is no free lunch in this world; this saying is used between two people of equal status, but in this cruel World, you, as the weak, are not qualified to make demands of me, let alone threaten me!"
"Tell me, the training method for Ryuo, and the contents of Wano Country's sword techniques that you know!"
Nox said coldly.
In an instant, the bewitching Seven Star Sword Intent from the Seven Star Sword invaded Kurozumi Higurashi's mind.
At the same time, Nox's Kenbunshoku Haki Mind Reading was reading the training method for Ryuo, as well as Kurozumi Higurashi's memories about Wano Country's sword techniques in her mind.
Kurozumi Higurashi's strength was not strong, and the bewitching power in the Seven Star Sword Intent, under Nox's activation, could make her lose consciousness for a short period of time.
And it was within this period of time that Nox had already obtained the information he wanted through his Mind Reading.
He not only obtained information about Ryuo and sword techniques but also various information about Wano Country, including its specific location.
"You, what did you do to me!!!"
Kurozumi Higurashi, who had sobered up, looked at Nox in horror.
Although Nox's sword had left her throat at this moment, the feeling of her mind being controlled just now was too terrifying for her.
It seemed that if Nox had told her to die just now, he wouldn't have hesitated at all; this kind of ability is too terrifying!
"Nothing, consider yourself lucky this time; next time, in front of someone stronger than you who can take your life at any moment, don't be so arrogant and tactless!"
"Even if I killed you now, do you think Rocks would avenge you?"
"That's impossible; in the Rocks Pirates, the strong are respected, the weak are not worthy of status, and Rocks would certainly not make things difficult for me, an Executive Officer, because of a dead person!"
Having gotten what he wanted, Nox was in a good mood at the moment, so he said a few more words to Kurozumi Higurashi.
After saying that, he left; he didn't want to stay with that disgusting guy Kurozumi Higurashi any longer.
"Damn it, damn it!!!"
As an Executive Officer of the Rocks Pirates, how could Kurozumi Higurashi not be angry at being so humiliated?
After smashing everything in the place, Kurozumi Higurashi finally vented most of the frustration in her heart.
"Strength, it's all about strength!!"
At this moment, Kurozumi Higurashi finally understood that in this World, strength is the most important thing; all schemes and tricks are futile in the face of absolute strength!
"You say, Limitless Great Swordsman, didn't do something incredible to Lord Kurozumi Higurashi, did he?"
"The incredible thing you're talking about, could it be that kind of thing?"
After seeing Nox leave, the various sounds coming from Kurozumi Higurashi's room made the two Samurai guarding the gate imagine things.
If Nox hadn't gone far away and hadn't heard the words of these two Samurai guards, Nox might have just given these two guys a sword strike!
Even if he, Nox, was starving, he wouldn't touch an old woman like Kurozumi Higurashi!
