"Waaahhh!"
On the ground of the Underworld, Loki, who had just stood up, was sent flying by the shockwave from the collision between Rocks and Harald, hitting a mountain wall.
Snow mountain beasts within a five-kilometer radius were stunned and blown away by the violent Conqueror's Haki.
The clash of their Haki Infusion from a distance cracked the frozen earth beneath their feet, with fissures rapidly spreading.
The branches of the tree of war and the Giant Village in the Sunny World trembled, causing a minor panic among the Giant warriors.
"worororo! How terrifying!"
Even Golden Lion Shiki was blown away by the furious aura, flying backward into the sky and crashing towards Fang Huo and the others who were descending.
"Haste makes waste!"
Fang Huo used a 'Shinra Tensei' to push Golden Lion Shiki back, drawing a torrent of curses from Shiki.
"Their swords didn't even touch!"
Loki was pressed against the mountain wall by the terrifying aura, his demonic vertical pupils clearly seeing through his Aizen glasses that Rocks' and his father's weapons were clashing from a distance.
What incredibly powerful aura and strength!
He wondered if he could also master such power in the future.
"worororo! What a thrill!"
"It's been a long time since I've had such a blast!"
Rocks laughed excitedly, unleashing his Conqueror's Haki without restraint, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.
That old geezer Imu was a bit overpowered; he was no match for him at all.
And the gap between him and other pirates was simply too vast.
Even Fang Huo and Newgate were no match for him.
Only Harald could allow him to fight to his heart's content.
"Hmph! I just want to beat you up!"
Harald was very annoyed right now, his veins bulging on his arms as he exerted force.
Both were sent flying back, their combat power evenly matched.
Harald's physique and strength were superior, but Rocks' Haki seemed stronger than Harald's.
The two continued their fierce bombardment!
Rocks' Cannon Roar Sword Qi could shatter a snow mountain with one strike, and Harald's greatsword could cleave a snow mountain in two with a single move.
In their short but exaggerated confrontation, eight snow mountains collapsed.
This terrified Loki, who frantically fled for his life, not daring to stay on their battlefield.
He should have known better than to jump down; he should have stayed in the air with Fang Huo and the others to watch the battle.
---"Is this the terrifying attack that can even kill a Marine Admiral!"
Maron and Kiel Bastard, these Executives, were incredibly shocked. The mere terrifying aura of the two made their souls tremble slightly.
"This is probably even stronger than the senior Dragon-Slaying Swordsman Shimotsuki Ryuma!"
Fūgetsu Kisaburō and Kozaburo, these Wano Country swordsmen, couldn't help but exclaim as they watched the two powerful great swordsmen fiercely clash.
Rocks' unique Cannon Hammer Sword Qi, and Harald, the Giant King's brute force normal attacks, were powers they could hardly resist in their lifetime.
"Is this the power of advanced Haki Infusion! Every attack can rival the destructive power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit Ability."
Whitebeard Newgate's eyes gleamed, wondering when he would be able to master such power.
"How terrifying! If they fought on Fish-Man Island, they could shatter Fish-Man Island!"
Babel and Sanbel gulped. From now on, besides diligently following Vice Captain Fang Huo's orders, they must also obey Rocks' commands.
This Captain's strength was simply too terrifying.
If Rocks got serious, they probably wouldn't last two moves, maybe even be instantly killed in one.
This was the power of Conquerors Haki Infusion.
"Why can such immense power be contained within such a small human body!"
Hajrudin and the high-ranking Giants from Sake Village, witnessing Rocks' and Harald's battle firsthand, finally understood the true value of the world's strongest pirate.
In this world, size does not equate to strength.
Elbaf is called the world's strongest nation because humanity is divided into hundreds of nations.
If divided by race, humans are the strongest race in this world, with countless geniuses and powerhouses emerging one after another.
Therefore, humans are the absolute rulers of this world, stifling other races.
---From a certain perspective, the World Government established by the Twenty Kings vigorously suppressed other races, eliminating several powerful rare races, ensuring humanity's absolute dominance.
The Giant Kingdom led by sun god nika, on the other hand, allied with the Giant Race, Fish-Man Race, and Mink Tribe, hoping for coexistence and harmonious relations among all races.
From a human perspective, is it better for one race to dominate or for all races to contend?
Of course, it's best for humans to dominate the world.
Perhaps the war between Imu and Joy Boy was a war between the 'Human Supremacy' and 'Hundred Races Coexistence' factions.
Of course, the Celestial Dragons, who shed their humanity and called themselves gods, are now a group of corrupt scum, a cancer hindering world development.
There's absolutely no possibility of whitewashing them.
You can't possibly say that the Celestial Dragons' triennial native clearing competition is an imitation of the cosmic population control director, Thanos, systematically eliminating life to ensure the use of limited resources, can you?
Fang Huo stands against Imu and the World Government simply because he doesn't want these immortal old monsters to kill him or threaten his life; he wants to constantly grow stronger until he reaches the stars and ascends to the three thousand worlds.
As for overthrowing the World Government and eliminating the Celestial Dragons, those are just incidental matters on his path to becoming stronger.
---"Fang Huo, you will definitely become as strong as them in the future!"
Stussy was shocked by the exaggerated strength of Rocks and Harald, but she hoped even more that her man could become that strong.
"Why not surpass them?"
Fang Huo stared intently at the astonishing clash of these two monsters. This level of advanced Haoshoku was indeed a bit far for him currently.
But who knows what the future holds.
"I believe in my husband!"
Shimotsuki Furiko looked at Fang Huo with unwavering, blind trust.
Hajrudin, who was listening nearby, felt that Fang Huo was exaggerating a bit. Such a powerful, supreme realm couldn't be achieved by effort alone.
It required heaven-defying talent.
He felt that Fang Huo, who was calm and had two or three wives, didn't possess such talent and willpower.
Just like him, a Giant without talent, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch up to Loki.
---Rocks and Harald's fierce battle lasted for several days, and only then did their anger and fighting spirit gradually subside.
Ultimately, Harald felt that he had destroyed so many snow mountains in the Underworld, and more and more Giants were coming down to watch the battle.
He then decisively ended this war, which had been a release of anger and dissatisfaction.
Continuing this battle would be meaningless.
Neither could do anything to the other!
However, after this battle, Rocks earned the supreme respect of the Giant Race.
This was admiration and respect for the strong and for warriors.
The Rocks Pirates became increasingly popular in Elbaf and successfully settled in Warrior Village, West Village.
Fang Huo still declined the invitation from Sake Village in the north, choosing to reside in West Village, which housed Orsto Castle, the royal castle.
This made it convenient to visit Harald every day and subtly influence his thoughts and will.
Of course, the most important thing was not to waste such a good and powerful sparring partner.
Not only Rocks needed him, but Fang Huo and Newgate also needed him... Fang Huo also wanted to see the hammer squirrels in Orsto Castle.
