The next moment.
A world-shaking explosion erupted in the middle of the thousand-meter peak.
Amidst the collapse of boulders dozens of meters long, the thousand-meter peak was blown in half.
"Rocks is over there! Are we going over?" Linlin, with blood at the corner of her mouth, watched as another peak collapsed and looked at Kaido beside her.
"Go over for what? To seek death? I'm not looking down on you, Linlin, but our current strength is far from enough!"
Kaido was also looking in that direction.
But he no longer had any interest in getting involved again.
It wasn't that he harbored a grudge against Rocks after taking a hit from him.
Given Rocks' state just now, even if Kaido were an idiot, he could guess a few things.
But he still didn't intend to go over and do anything.
It was simply that in this battle, he had witnessed what true power was.
Rocks, Roger, Garp, Newgate, Carlo.
And that mysterious monster.
The power those freaks possessed could truly be called the pinnacle of the sea!
And compared to those guys...
Right now, he was still a bit lacking.
However, it was absolutely impossible for him to become discouraged or sink into despair!
He, Kaido, would only become more courageous as he faced setbacks.
"Watch closely, Linlin! One day, I will catch up to them!"
Shouldering his spiked club, he turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
"I'm going to form a pirate crew where violence is supreme! An ultimate pirate crew that won't be inferior to the Rocks Pirates!!"
"Worororo, wororororo! Until we meet again, Linlin!"
Amidst loud laughter, Kaido's body suddenly elongated, transforming into a giant Azure Dragon. He wound his way upward amidst the trembling of the earth, quickly disappearing into the sea of clouds ten thousand meters high.
"Bastard! You're just leaving like that? Don't you forget the favor I did for you!!"
Watching him depart, Linlin felt a sense of loss.
She turned around again, glanced at the peak that was collapsing like the sky falling, shook her head, and chose to jump onto her burning fire cloud to leave.
"Carlo! We'll meet again too! See you... in the New World!"
On the base of the collapsed peak, the man with the pineapple head looked at Whitebeard passing below and issued an invitation with a smile.
"Newgate! You were the one who broke the mountain just now, right? Look, another one has collapsed... You people from the Rocks Pirates are all incredible lunatics."
"Who are you?" Whitebeard raised an eyebrow.
"I am Bologram, Captain of the Bolo Pirates. I really admire you. Now that your Rocks Pirates have disintegrated, why don't we join forces?"
Bologram jumped down from above with a smile and caught up with Whitebeard.
However, Whitebeard showed a look of disgust. "Annoying! Get lost!"
Bologram said with a grin, "Don't be so heartless. I heard your dream is to have a family. In that case, I'm older than you... How about I be your big brother?"
Veins popped on Whitebeard's forehead as he looked back with a dangerous gaze. "Are you looking for death? It's more like I should be your big brother..."
"Great! I agree! Big brother, please accept your little brother's bow!" Saying this, Bologram directly prostrated himself on the ground, giving Whitebeard a full kowtow.
"You..." Whitebeard opened his mouth, then suddenly burst out laughing. "Fine, suit yourself. However, I'm going to create my own pirate crew."
"No problem! With us brothers joined together, we can definitely achieve great things! In my opinion, why don't you call your crew... the Whitebeard Pirates? That way, everyone will know it's the crew you created. After all, your title of Whitebeard is famous throughout the world!"
Bologram suggested with a smile.
"Whitebeard Pirates." Whitebeard was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly.
It seemed okay?
Having obtained Whitebeard's agreement, Bologram was overjoyed and led the way ahead.
"Let's go, my subordinates are over there. You can leave on my ship. By the way, Newgate, aren't you... going... over there?"
He hesitated for a moment and pointed toward the location of another broken peak.
Whitebeard glanced toward that direction with a complex expression and shook his head slightly.
"Forget it, I'm not going."
"Carlo was right, this should be the final gathering of our Rocks Pirates."
"Rocks... he seems to have fallen into a frenzy and likely won't regain his senses. I know this."
"But what can I do?"
"He was my Captain after all. To have me personally kill him... I still... can't do it."
Whitebeard sighed, turned around, and took the lead to leave with large strides.
"Leave it to Carlo, Roger, and the others."
"Goodbye, Captain... Rocks."
In the center of the island.
On the right side of the broken mountain base.
Carlo, who had pierced Rocks' chest with a halberd, was now being grabbed by the face by Rocks and slammed firmly onto the ground.
His chest was pierced by the tip of the heavenly dragon halberd, but Rocks seemed completely unaware. With a hideous expression, he grabbed Carlo's face with one hand and smashed him deep into the hard mountain rock.
Violent Conqueror's Haki Lightning roared in his hand, blasting Carlo until he bled from his seven orifices.
After the demonization, Rocks' strength was simply too off the charts.
The current Carlo was fundamentally unable to contend with it.
Although he had gained the upper hand with the strike just now...
Rocks' stamina and strength seemed infinite.
The chest that had been pierced by the heavenly dragon halberd had already recovered and healed in just a few seconds.
His strength was even more boundlessly violent, so great it was hard to describe.
Carlo guessed that this level of Physique strength had probably reached over 98 points!
This was already a non-human level of strength that transcended species!
Facing this level of power...
Simply using a human, or even a monster's physical body, was no longer enough to contend with it.
In that case... "Skree!!"
A high-pitched bird cry suddenly exploded in Rocks' ear.
The sharp sound wave was like a sharp arrow, piercing his eardrums directly at such close range.
The next moment.
Carlo's body, which was pinned to the ground by Rocks, expanded frantically like a balloon being blown up!
Twenty meters!
Thirty meters!
Fifty meters!
One hundred meters!
Two hundred meters!
Under the dumbfounded gazes of the arriving Roger and Garp...
At the top of the broken peak, a pair of giant wings that blotted out the sun spread out like clouds covering the sky.
The wings were so large they almost covered the entire mountaintop.
Carlo's human figure had disappeared.
In its place was a golden giant bird with a wingspan of over two hundred meters, its entire body as brilliant as gold.
The giant bird had six pairs of golden blade-wings on its back. It extended a giant cage-like bird claw, grabbed the ten-meter-tall Rocks like catching an insect, and pinned him down on the cross-section of the broken peak.
The golden beak opened, revealing a hideous mouth filled with countless fangs.
Deep within the bottomless throat, a dazzling light like a sun exploding suddenly lit up.
That was not fire, but a terrifying lightning light condensed from countless riots of electricity!
With the golden giant bird's breath, a thunderous pillar of over a billion volts boomed out from the giant bird's mouth, striking straight down on Rocks, who was held firmly by the bird claw.
"1.2 Billion Volts! Thunder Breath!!"
