West of God Valley.

At the end of the God Valley battle, Loya landed on this crumbling island here.

After finding a hiding spot and putting his belongings away, Loya searched with all his might for the battlefield of Rocks and the others.

A moment later, Loya abruptly turned his head.

"Found it, in that direction."

The commotion from the battle between Rocks, Garp, and Roger was quite significant.

Although God Valley was a large island, finding them wasn't too difficult.

Loya tapped his toes and hurried towards that direction at top speed.

Only when he was about to approach the battlefield did he slow down his speed.

At this moment, Roger and Garp joined forces, but were still suppressed by the demonized Rocks.

The Haki of Rocks was too strong.

He actually had no difference in realm from Roger and Garp, and was far from reaching the level of Imu and Joy Boy.

However, in terms of the total amount of Haki, Rocks surpassed Roger and Garp.

Coupled with the powerful recovery ability of his body after demonization, Rocks was able to firmly occupy the upper hand.

Looking at the three people fighting in the distance, Loya dared not make any more big movements.

He held his breath, lowered his footsteps, and sneaked bit by bit towards the direction of the battlefield.

Where was there any trace of the domineering attitude Loya had previously shown in front of ordinary marines?

In order to mix into the final circle and harvest the final fruit, Loya still chose to act as a sneaky opportunist.

Hiding behind a boulder a thousand meters away from the battlefield, Loya looked with his peripheral vision at the three people fighting for their lives ahead.

At the same time, his eyes kept scanning the surroundings, searching for Saint Garling and the others who were also hiding in the dark acting like opportunists.

Although in the current environment, Loya worried about being detected by others and did not dare to casually release his Observation Haki.

But knowing that Saint Garling and the others were also nearby, Loya quickly locked onto several suspicious locations.

Although he didn't see any figures, Loya could be certain that the three of Saint Garling were hiding in those places.

Loya's gaze became subtle.

These guys were hiding further away than him now, but in the original manga, when they finally appeared, they acted as if they dominated this battlefield themselves.

When Rocks had exited the domination state from black for a while, and even felt that he had a chance to survive...

The scavenger king Saint Garling walked up to the dying Rocks like an old lady taking a stroll and dealt the finishing blow...

At this moment, in the middle of the battlefield.

Roger and Garp, who had repelled Rocks once again, panted heavily.

Roger turned his head to look at Garp and made a suggestion aloud.

"Garp, our attacks are still not strong enough."

"If this drags on any longer, once our Haki is exhausted, we will all be defeated by Rocks."

Pausing for a moment, Roger continued speaking.

"We can concentrate all of our Conqueror's Haki into a single attack, and this will be a joint attack that surpasses the peak."

"If it goes smoothly, all three of us will completely lose our strength and be unable to fight again."

"If even this fails..."

Roger did not continue speaking, but Garp already understood Roger's meaning.

He did not respond, only silently nodding to accept Roger's proposal.

The next moment, before Garp and Roger could make a move, Rocks, who had just been repelled, descended with a boom.

Appearing once again before Garp and Roger.

At this moment, Rocks was extremely disheveled, his demonized face was extremely distorted, and tears kept dripping down.

Seeing Rocks's state at this moment, Garp felt somewhat irritated and felt sorrow for Rocks.

"Hey, Rocks, I don't know how to comfort you, and I don't know what you've been through."

"But I understand very well the feeling of regret you have now."

Roger by Garp's side possessed the Observation Haki capable of listening to the voices of all things; he could perceive Rocks's regret and despair at this moment.

Rocks was praying for the two of them to kill him...

Roger raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, which had also become somewhat red.

"Hey, Rocks, stop crying, you idiot!"

Saying that, Roger drew his blade.

"Garp, let us use this strongest blow to send off this powerful enemy, this old friend, and this era."

Roger gripped his prized sword Ace, with black and red lightning of Conqueror's Haki winding around it.

At this moment, Garp also raised his hand, and similarly black and red lightning wound around his fists.

"Flame Kagutsuchi!"

"Infinite Fist Bones!"

The two struck together, Roger's long blade tearing apart Rocks's black wings.

Garp's iron fists turned into a torrent, piercing through Rocks's body.

Boom——

Smoke and dust billowed, and violent shockwaves swept outwards in all directions...

"Here it comes!"

Loya, who had been staring closely at the battlefield, knew that now was the best opportunity.

His heart beat rapidly, and his blood surged swiftly.

"Rokushiki: Soru."

Before the smoke and dust had dispersed, Loya had already rushed with all his might towards the direction where Rocks was located.

His own Conqueror's Haki was released without reservation.

At this moment, Saint Garling and the other two, who were also hiding in the dark peeking, were frightened by Loya's Conqueror's Haki.

"Who is this again?"

Saint Garling and the other two, who were originally prepared to show their heads, silently shrank back.

At this moment, Loya's Observation Haki was also opened to the extreme.

Ignoring the obstruction of the smoke and dust to his vision, Loya accurately determined the positions of Rocks and the others.

Rocks had already exited the state of dark-turned domination at this time, and he collapsed dejectedly onto the ground.

Garp and Roger had also fallen unconscious, each leaning against a boulder.

Roger's prized sword Ace had even slipped from his hand; clearly, the three of them had completely lost the combat power to fight again.

Without the slightest hesitation, Loya, who had rehearsed for this moment in his dreams for forty years, made a completely instinctive action.

Click——

Loya's long blade lopped off the head of the vacant-eyed Rocks.

At the same time, Loya's mind stirred, using the opportunity that he had saved for forty years and could never bear to use up.

The next instant.

Following the death of Rocks, this legendary figure,

Loya only felt as if the world had fallen silent right then, and everything turned grayish-white.

Great Swordsman-level swordsmanship, the usage method of Conqueror's Haki coating, the technique of Armament Haki internal destruction.

A massive amount of combat skills cycled through Loya's mind.

Thump, thump, thump——

Loya's heartbeat was as violent as war drums in the wilderness.

Countless warm currents darted around wildly in his body.

In merely the blink of an eye, Loya's height, which was basically around 1.9 meters, directly shot up to over three meters.

The clothes on Loya's body that were previously quite well-fitting were all torn apart by the expansion, leaving only the marine cape bearing the words "Justice" preserved.

At this moment, pitch-black Armament Haki was unconsciously used by Loya.

His body, which had grown to over three meters tall, became as though forged from steel.

The marine cape behind him appeared small, just like a shawl on top of a steel monster.

At this time, Loya only felt that he possessed the power to tear everything apart.

At the same time, Loya also felt that the world before his eyes seemed to become incomparably clear at this moment.

Unlike ordinary Observation Haki, which could only vaguely perceive the outlines of other people.

Loya's Observation Haki seemed to have upgraded to an even stronger stage.

It was just like having a radar map; Saint Garling and the other two hiding in the distance emerged in Loya's mind, and even their shocked expressions at this moment could be seen clearly.

Hum——

In the blink of an eye, yet a new image appeared.

Raindrops falling from the sky, and the image of Saint Garling and the other two surrounding them emerged in Loya's mind.

The next instant, Loya snapped back to his senses.

At this time, the smoke and dust had not yet dispersed, and it was not raining in the sky.

Loya knew clearly in his heart that after inheriting Rocks's power,

his Observation Haki had reached a new realm, awakening the ability to foresee the future...
