"I told you, don't get distracted!" Rocks sneered, seizing the moment when Kong's focus wavered.
The Supreme Grade Great Sword in his hand slashed straight toward Kong.
The ferocious aura carried by the blade caused the surrounding air to tremble.
Seeing this, Garp furrowed his brows.
In the next instant, his pitch-black iron fist swung in a full arc, smashing directly toward the hilt of Rocks' sword.
Rocks' attack was immensely powerful; even Garp dared not confront the blade head-on with his bare fist.
"Boom!"
A deafening roar echoed through the air, like a thunderclap.
Rocks' Supreme Grade Great Sword missed its mark once again, as Kong swiftly dodged to the side.
"You two are as annoying as flies!" Rocks' long hair danced wildly as he hovered mid-air, his overwhelming aura forming dense black waves around him.
He looked like a god.
Before him stood two of the Navy's top fighters, Kong and Garp, both glaring at him intently. One was covered in wounds, his tattered clothes stained crimson, while the other's face was grim, his once-dark muscles now dull.
Individually, neither Kong nor Garp was a match for Rocks, he could easily kill either of them. But together, they posed a challenge.
It wasn't that Rocks feared their combined strength, but rather that he couldn't quickly eliminate the Navy's top fighters in such a short time.
This was highly unfavorable for the ongoing battle at the Valley of the Gods.
Moreover, after his earlier fight with Kong and the prolonged skirmish with both of them, Rocks' stamina had noticeably declined.
"Rocks! You're destined to lose!" Kong clenched his fists, his voice icy.
It was clear that Kong entire body was now coated in Armament Haki, but his wounds revealed his current state.
Rocks' attacks were too fierce. Even with Armament Haki and the Six Powers enhancing his physical abilities to a terrifying level, Kong's body was still as fragile as paper against Rocks' Supreme Grade Great Sword.
A direct hit from the blade would leave a massive gash on his body.
Yet, despite this, Kong refused to give up. Though he knew he was no match for Rocks, he believed in the triumph of justice.
In the next moment.
Kong pupils contracted sharply, and an overwhelming aura erupted from his body, his hair flying wildly in the air.
His blood-stained fists came together, and strands of dark, ghostly energy coiled around his arms.
His well-defined muscles pulsed rhythmically, as if breathing.
The air around his fists compressed and expanded in sync with the rhythm, white light manifesting at their edges.
The immense power caused the passing wind to be sucked in, and his hair stopped its wild dance.
"Garp!"
Without hesitation, the moment Kong made his move, Garp knew he was unleashing his ultimate attack.
In the next instant, Garp's aura surged.
His arms wrapped tightly around Kong legs, the veins on his bulging muscles appearing exceptionally fierce.
"Meteor Fist!!"
"Whoosh!"
The moment Garp struck, Kong was launched like a cannonball.
"Buzzzz!"
In the trajectory of Kong flight, white shockwaves were visible, accompanied by explosive sounds.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before Rocks.
However, the moment Kong made his move, Rocks knew this strike would be the decisive one.
Without a hint of arrogance, the black mist surrounding him surged into his Supreme Grade Great Blade.
The blade, originally of normal size, suddenly expanded to twice its previous size.
Yet, the color of the blade remained unchanged, with red and black light flickering at its tip.
Like tiny bolts of lightning, they danced across the entire Great Blade.
A cold glint flashed in Rocks' eyes as he gripped the hilt with both hands and forcefully raised it.
The next moment.
Kong charging figure collided with Rocks' Great Blade.
"BOOM!!"
A deafening roar erupted, akin to thunder splitting the heavens.
The dark clouds that had gathered in the sky were instantly dispersed by the shockwave.
Kong fists, shimmering with white light, slammed into Rocks' Great Blade, the immense force surging back.
Space itself cracked, torn apart by the sheer power of both combatants.
The red and black light of the Great Blade gradually dimmed, its tip unable to advance even an inch against the white light.
With a grim expression, Rocks' sleeves exploded, the muscles in his right arm bulging as he forcefully slapped the hilt.
"CLANG!!"
The sound of metal clashing rang out.
Kong body was sent flying like a shooting star.
"Not good!" Garp face darkened as he couldn't help but exclaim.
"BOOM!!"
Kong body crashed heavily into a low hill in the Valley of the Gods, sending dirt and rocks flying as the hill shattered into pieces.
A cloud of dust rose, burying Kong's body under the rubble.
"Fleet Admiral Kong!"
"Fleet Admiral Kong the Steel Bone has been defeated!"
"Two against one, and one was defeated. Just how strong is Rocks?!"
"..."
The moment Kong and Rocks clashed, the Marines had taken notice.
After all, the sheer magnitude of their collision was impossible to ignore.
Now, seeing Kong being repelled, they were filled with shock and fear.
The Marine's top combatant had been defeated once in a one-on-one with Rocks.
And now, even with Garp assistance, he had been defeated again.
This was hard for them to accept, and they were even more awestruck by Rocks' overwhelming strength.
Two of their top fighters had failed to pose even the slightest threat to Rocks.
After sending Kong flying, Rocks stood atop a massive boulder.
His face had paled considerably.
Though he bore no visible injuries, his stamina had been severely drained.
Garp quickly retreated to Kong's side, his face filled with concern.
As the rubble shifted, Kong crawled out, blood still spilling from his mouth, a massive wound covering his abdomen, overshadowing his previous injuries.
"Kong!" Garp supported the Marine Admiral.
"Don't worry, I won't die!" Kong lips were stained with blood as he whispered.
Kong physical resilience was now on full display. For an ordinary person, such injuries would be fatal, but he quickly stemmed the bleeding.
And the wound did not worsen further.
Though his life was not in immediate danger, continuing the fight would be extremely difficult, and persisting would inevitably lead to death.
"The strength of Rocks is truly despair-inducing!" Kong shook his head, his voice filled with helplessness.
"But... the battle isn't over yet!"
"Keep going!!"
