Chapter 108: Power of the Gale! Joint Battle
Second ability?
Everyone present felt doubt rise in their hearts upon hearing this.
It was common knowledge,
That a Devil Fruit user can only possess one fruit. Anyone who tried to take a second Devil Fruit would undoubtedly die a violent death.
Rumors said that once two Devil Fruits were consumed,
The two demons inside would fight each other, causing the user's death.
This was an unspoken rule long accepted across the seas.
But what Roger just said—could it be that Rocks could actually possess a second Devil Fruit ability?!
How was that possible?!
Rocks' eyes showed a hint of surprise. He looked at Roger with a ferocious grin.
"As expected from someone of the same D. clan. I never thought you'd understand this fruit to such a degree. Looks like I now have one more reason to kill you."
"Anyway, it was a trump card I kept to deal with you. Showing it early doesn't matter."
He clenched both fists tightly.
As surging air currents gathered behind him, transforming into storm-like wings. The moment this scene appeared, an overwhelming sense of dread erupted instantly.
The surrounding sea was instantly whipped into towering waves by the storm, relentlessly crashing against the area. Both warships and pirate ships began shaking violently.
"Damn it! What's happening now?!"
"Wait! Quick… look over there! How is this even possible!"
The howling winds turned into astonishing tornadoes. Terrifying tornadoes hundreds or thousands of meters tall gradually formed, engulfing the surrounding warships and pirate ships, seemingly intent on destroying them all.
Roger's expression couldn't help but harden.
"So it's the power to control storms. Looks like this is really troublesome."
"But aren't you afraid you'll drag your own crew into this too?"
A trace of confusion appeared in his tone.
Everyone knew that although the power Rocks had shown earlier was indeed terrifying, using such large-scale ability would undoubtedly engulf his own pirate crew as well.
Rocks shouted loudly.
"It's just a mere storm! My cadres can easily withstand it!"
"I'm well aware of the schemes those guys are plotting behind my back. As for the cannon fodder, their usefulness has pretty much run out. From now on, I just need to kill you all."
"Then no one will stand in my way to God Valley anymore!"
For Rocks,
Using his subordinate pirates to stall the Navy had already achieved his goal.
Moreover, the high-level combatants were currently being handled by the cadres.
Even with Steel Bone Kong plus Roger,
In Rocks' eyes, they were absolutely no match for him.
When Steel Bone Kong saw Roger actually preparing to fight Rocks,
He was momentarily stunned.
After all, if Roger joined forces with Rocks, breaking through the Navy encirclement would be far from difficult.
But the other party had come to fight Rocks instead.
In other words, dealing with Roger right now was actually helping Rocks!
Hearing Rocks say this.
Roger's expression turned playful.
"Is that so? But I never said I came alone."
As his words fell.
Roger's mouth curved upward slightly as he shouted loudly.
"Garp! What are you still hesitating for!"
"I already told you the danger if Rocks reaches God Valley, didn't I!"
Before he finished speaking, Garp's figure was already using Moon Step,
Rushing forward like an arrow released from a bow.
At the same time, Garp shot Roger an annoyed glare.
"Shut up! I never thought there'd be a day I'd team up with a pirate like you, Roger. If this gets out, no one would believe it!"
"Just this once. There won't be another chance to help you!"
After saying that.
Garp fixed his gaze on Rocks, both fists coated in powerful Armament Haki.
He knew very well,
The main culprit behind the Navy's heavy casualties was the man in front of him—Rocks.
He was the one who started this entire God Valley war.
As long as they could eliminate Rocks,
The remaining cadres would naturally scatter!
When Garp arrived.
Even Rocks couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
He knew Garp was a genius in Marine Headquarters just below Admiral level. Before the battle began, Rocks had specifically instructed Golden Lion to deal with him.
How could he arrive here completely unharmed?!
Rocks' Observation Haki instantly swept across the entire battlefield.
Golden Lion—who was supposed to be handling Garp—was now chatting and laughing with the arriving Lotte on Roger's ship, completely ignoring his task!
Seeing this, Rocks' expression darkened.
Although he knew many of his cadres harbored disloyal thoughts, Golden Lion had flipped sides awfully fast!
"Stop staring, Rocks. This battle was lost for you from the very beginning."
"You don't understand pirates, and you don't understand people."
"Do you really think raw power alone can solve everything in this world?"
Roger grinned widely.
It seemed Rayleigh was right—the cadres of the Rocks Pirates were far from united.
They were useful for small skirmishes.
But expecting them to fight to the death for him was nearly impossible!
Rocks showed a ferocious grin.
"Everyone who betrays me ends up dead."
"So what if there's one more Garp? In the end, he's just a guy who hasn't even reached Admiral level. To me, he poses no threat at all!"
As his words fell.
Terrifying air currents gathered into a spinning sphere in Rocks' hand, gradually expanding and growing larger.
With the storm wings on his back flapping.
His speed reached a new level as he vanished from his spot in an instant.
Without hesitation, he smashed the sphere toward Roger and Garp!
Roger gripped Ace tightly at his waist. He exchanged a knowing glance with Garp beside him, then stepped forward to meet the attack head-on.
The battle that would decide the outcome of this war had finally begun!
Meanwhile, Lotte stood on the ship,
Looking at the storm sphere gathering in Rocks' hand with a strange expression.
"Hiss—this looks kinda like a Rasengan?"
Beside him, Newgate asked curiously.
"What's a Rasengan?"
"Nothing, just a name that suddenly came to mind."
Lotte shook his head and laughed.
While the two were chatting, a masked figure wearing a white robe.
Stood silently on a distant Navy warship, watching the scene.
