CHAPTER 153
After blocking the combined strike from Rocks and Newgate, Blite erupted like a volcano, instantly unleashing all the ghostly energy within his body.
As purple flames condensed from ghostly energy continuously burned fiercely inside him, Blite became even more powerful.
For a moment, both Rocks and Newgate were suppressed by his aura.
"Die!"
Star Extinction!
Seeing the two slow down, a cold glint flashed in Blite's eyes. He raised his fist wrapped in purple ghostly energy and Conqueror's Haki and smashed it into Newgate.
A purple pillar of light instantly erupted between them.
Newgate immediately spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the hard ground and falling unconscious.
Miss Barkin, who had been watching from afar, saw Newgate get injured. Her face instantly filled with panic as she hurriedly grabbed her medical kit and ran toward the unconscious Newgate.
After a careful examination, Barkin finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.
She discovered that Newgate had only suffered serious injuries and was not in life-threatening danger.
So Barkin quickly began treating Newgate's wounds.
She couldn't let anything happen to Newgate — otherwise she would likely have to return to wandering the seas again.
Rocks saw that Blite had knocked Newgate out with one punch. A grave expression appeared on his face.
Seeing Blite charging toward the unconscious Newgate, Rocks immediately turned into an afterimage and chased after him.
When he reappeared, Rocks' figure was already blocking in front of Blite.
Seeing Blite rushing toward him with madness in his eyes, Rocks had no intention of dodging — he wanted to completely defeat him and become the ruler of the New World.
"Hahahahaha, Blite!" "Let me be your opponent and send you on your final journey."
Rocks pushed his Conqueror's Haki to the limit and stood firmly in front of Blite with determination.
Soon everyone watching this battle witnessed a truly terrifying scene.
Streaks of pitch-black lightning spread violently outward with Rocks at the center.
Wherever the lightning passed, the ground around Rocks shattered.
Watching Blite's figure rapidly growing larger in his vision, Rocks stomped the ground and shot toward Blite like a cannonball.
While flying through the air, he immediately gathered all his strength into his fist and smashed it fiercely toward Blite's body.
Seeing Rocks dare to block his path, intense killing intent erupted in Blite's eyes.
If it weren't for this bastard, how could he have fallen to this state?
This time, even if it cost his life, he would completely eliminate Rocks.
"Rocks, take your life!"
Blite let out an angry roar toward Rocks.
As he frantically burned his own life energy, Blite's originally bulging muscles rapidly withered. Even his pitch-black long hair turned pale white.
Feeling the tremendous pressure Blite was exerting on him, Rocks showed no fear at all.
He glared at Blite with madness in his eyes and let out a roar that shook the heavens.
"Blite!" "Your era is over!" "This era will belong to me, Rocks!"
Rocks watched as Blite turned into a fiercely burning purple flame rushing toward him, his eyes becoming resolute.
As Rocks' ambition continued to swell, the Conqueror's Haki within his body also began to transform, becoming even stronger than before.
It quickly suppressed Blite's Haki.
As their fists collided in mid-air, even though Blite's fist was constantly wrapped, fused, and exploding with Haki and ghostly energy, it still couldn't break through Rocks' pitch-black fist that resembled a black hole.
BOOM!
A purple pillar of light containing immense energy instantly spread across the sky.
It directly dyed the clear sky a deep purple-black color.
Even the sunlight was blocked by this energy.
Seeing the sky suddenly turn pitch black, the pirates on Steel Island immediately stopped their actions, looking dazedly at the two blurry figures in the sky.
"Really exaggerated…"
Even Shakky, who had been resting on the Flying Bird, was startled.
She stepped out of the cabin and looked at the astonishing phenomenon in the sky, grave expression in her beautiful eyes.
"Shakky-nee, you should go back inside the cabin!" "In case it affects the child you're carrying, that would be bad!"
Hearing Annie's concern, a happy smile appeared on Shakky's sexy lips.
She gently rubbed Annie's black hair and comforted her:
"Little Annie, don't worry, I'm fine."
Hearing Shakky's words, Annie no longer tried to persuade her. She pouted unhappily, flicked her soft hair.
"I really don't know when I'll be able to have my own little baby…"
Annie looked at Shakky's slightly bulging belly and couldn't help sighing.
She really wanted to bear a child for Vilin and fulfill her duty as a wife.
"Hehe, little fool, you're still so young!" "You're in the most beautiful time of your life — why rush for a child?"
Seeing Annie like this, Shakky gave her a playful flick on the forehead.
Feeling the pain on her forehead, Annie pouted aggrievedly, hugged Shakky's black-stocking-clad long legs, and looked up at her pitifully, hoping for some comfort.
Underground, Vilin also felt the powerful force spreading across the sky.
This made him involuntarily open his closed eyes and look gravely toward a certain point in the sky, temporarily stopping the absorption of life force.
"As expected of Rocks — he really is frighteningly strong!"
Linlin's soul power was even stronger than Shakky's. After feeling the destructive power in the sky, her body instantly tensed up and she unconsciously leaned closer to Vilin.
"Mamama." "Truly two monsters."
Seeing Linlin like this, Vilin immediately reached out and wrapped his arm around her thigh to comfort her.
In a devastated valley, looking at Lucas lying pale and powerless on the ground, a cruel smile appeared on Shiki's face. Without hesitation, he thrust his sword through Lucas's heart.
After confirming Lucas was completely dead, he couldn't help letting out a satisfied laugh.
"Jie hahahahaha!" "Looks like this is your end."
Just as he was getting carried away, he suddenly sensed a powerful destructive force erupting from the sky.
Realizing it was caused by Rocks, Shiki's brows immediately furrowed.
He had originally thought his strength had caught up to Rocks, but now he realized he had been too naive.
This also made him restrain some of the arrogance in his heart.
Gloriosa and the others who were resting also looked toward the sky after feeling the terrifying aura coming from above.
After personally witnessing Rocks' terrifying strength, dread appeared on all their faces.
"Hahahahaha!" "Looks like I win in the end!" "From now on, my name will resound across the entire sea."
Rocks felt Blite's power rapidly fading like the tide and immediately let out excited laughter.
He could already see the throne of the New World waving at him.
"You won't succeed."
After feeling his life reaching its end, Blite looked unwillingly at this vast sea one last time, slowly closed his eyes, and fell into the ocean.
A legendary great pirate fell into obscurity just like that.
