I’m the suit thug from the Rocks Pirates! Chapter 029

How could Luo Ye possibly postpone this challenge until later!

After all…

If he truly wanted to surpass Rocks, he couldn’t even lack the courage to face him directly!

Luo Ye pulled a cigarette from his pocket.

He raised his right hand, and flames rose from his joined index and middle fingers.

After lighting the cigarette, the flames slowly disappeared.

Luo Ye exhaled a puff of smoke, and at the same time, raised a hand to tug at his slightly tight tie.

Watching Luo Ye’s routine.

Rocks already knew the answer without him even needing to speak.

This kid, Luo Ye, still hadn’t given up the chance to challenge him!

In that case, he would let him witness the true power of Rocks, the overlord of the seas!

Rocks’ eyelids slightly lifted, and a chilling light gleamed in his eyes.

“This battle shouldn’t take place on Hachinos.”

“After all, I don’t want the headquarters of our Rocks Pirates to sink into the sea because of this battle!”

Luo Ye shrugged at his words.

“Then let’s find another place to fight, I have no objections.”

【 043】Ability User, True Man Battle!

Hachinos served as the headquarters of the Rocks Pirates.

Even before Rocks arrived, Hachinos was already a famous pirate gathering place in the New World.

After Rocks established his pirate crew here.

The indigenous people on the surrounding islands had all chosen to leave.

They didn’t want to suddenly be targeted by a terrifying guy like Rocks one day!

To avoid sinking Hachinos, the two of them.

It didn’t take long for them to find a suitable location.

Looking around at the somewhat desolate island beneath their feet.

Rocks grinned, looking at Luo Ye, and laughed.

“Kid, let me personally experience it.”

“After these four years, how much stronger have you become!”

Based on Rocks’ understanding of Luo Ye.

With that incredibly powerful talent.

Plus the growth over these four years.

Luo Ye, who had been able to personally eliminate Silver Axe four years ago.

It was likely that even across the entire New World, there were few people Luo Ye would consider worthy opponents.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t be arrogant enough to challenge him!

Luo Ye didn’t waste any more words with Rocks.

Even with Luo Ye’s absolute confidence in his talent.

And the growth over these four years.

Luo Ye firmly believed that even within the entire Rocks Pirates.

The only one who could give him pressure in a fight.

Aside from Rocks himself.

It would probably be Edward Newgate, who had completely transformed from Golden Beard to Whitebeard.

Even if Shiki also possessed very powerful strength.

But in a true life-or-death battle, Luo Ye didn’t believe he would lose to him.

Unfortunately, he had never had the chance to test it before.

Now, he would use this battle with Rocks.

To feel.

How much more he needed to grow to surpass Rocks and become an eternal legend in this world!

Luo Ye casually tossed the half-burnt cigarette onto the ground.

His tie was already slightly loosened.

The preparations for battle were complete.

Next, it was time to start the fight with Rocks!

Luo Ye raised his right hand, and the Armament Haki, which he had already cultivated to a high level four years ago, instantly enveloped his entire arm.

His fist turned a solid black.

Demonstrating the power of Luo Ye’s current physical combat skills.

Watching Luo Ye’s raised fist, Rocks couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

The method for cultivating high-level Armament Haki.

It was Rocks who had personally taught it to him four years ago.

Aside from the war in the Kingdom of Esreia, Rocks had never fought alongside Luo Ye again.

He hadn’t expected this kid’s Armament Haki to have reached such a level!

Few people in the New World could achieve this level of Armament Haki.

However.

In the eyes of Rocks, the overlord of the seas, it was still slightly inferior!

Rocks also raised his right arm, and Armament Haki surged forth in an instant.

Before Rocks could say anything more.

Luo Ye, on the opposite side, suddenly stomped his foot.

His entire figure instantly vanished from his original spot.

The next moment, the shockwave created by the collision of their fists enveloped the entire small island!

“Boom!”

The trees and land on the small island were instantly uprooted the moment they were touched by the aftershock.

Even this unnamed small island trembled due to their battle.

However, neither Luo Ye nor Rocks stopped fighting because of this situation.

Instead, the moment their fists collided.

Both of them, by unspoken agreement, chose to throw their other fist.

Neither Luo Ye nor Rocks blocked the other’s fist.

Instead, they let the fists land heavily on their bodies.

Yet, it was as if they felt no force at all.

They continued to swing their fists.

If this close-quarters battle were broadcast live.

It would probably make the entire world tremble in awe of their power!

Although Luo Ye’s Armament Haki had been cultivated to a peak level.

However, in front of Rocks, who also possessed extremely powerful talent and had been cultivating for decades longer than him.

Luo Ye didn’t gain any advantage in this head-on battle.

He even subtly fell into a disadvantage.

However, at this moment, it was as if the two had made an agreement.

Using the force from each other’s fists, they simultaneously retreated a long distance.

Rocks’ hairstyle was already disheveled from the battle.

Even his face appeared somewhat distorted.

Rocks looked down at the marks on his body, a fierce light in his eyes.

Before the battle began, Rocks had already sensed Luo Ye’s improvement.

But he had never expected Luo Ye to possess this level of power.

If he couldn’t deliver a crushing defeat to Luo Ye, it would not bode well for Rocks’ future dominance!

Thinking of this, Rocks stared at Luo Ye and laughed loudly.

“Haven’t you always been curious if I’m an ability user?”

“Now I’ll tell you!”

“I am indeed an ability user, and a Logia type at that.”

“The devil fruit ability I possess can perfectly counter all Logia ability users!”

“Your strange flames won’t have any effect on me!”

“Next, let me personally show you the terror of the most vicious Logia Devil Fruit—the Dark-Dark Fruit!”

As Rocks spoke, black smoke continuously surged from his body.

In the end, even the sky above this unnamed island was filled with this black smoke.

The fundamental reason why no one knew if Rocks was an ability user was that everyone who had seen him use this ability had already been completely buried at sea!

However, Luo Ye’s expression on the opposite side was somewhat beyond Rocks’ expectations.

Luo Ye seemed to have not heard Rocks’ words, and even showed an expression of “as expected.”

No wonder that guy would consider the Dark-Dark Fruit his ultimate goal.

For this, he didn’t hesitate to kill companions he had been with for decades, betray, and even personally eliminate Whitebeard, who treated him like a father.

All of this, it turned out, was because of Rocks!

However, if Rocks thought that by obtaining this fruit that countered all Logia abilities, he could disregard the power of the Five Elements.

Then he was truly gravely mistaken!

Thinking of this.

Luo Ye, just like Rocks a moment ago.

Extremely hot flames instantly surged from his body.

The Fire Element power, which had already been mastered to a great extent, finally fully revealed itself in front of others!

【 044】Fire Element Power vs. Dark-Dark Fruit!

Ever since the war in the Kingdom of Esreia ended, for these four years, Luo Ye had not encountered any powerful opponents.
