Chapter 173: Breaking the promise will be punished!
Finally, Rocks's expressionless face moved.
A smile curved his lips.
A little bit.
Inch by inch.
That wasn't a laugh.
It's a contempt etched into one's bones, the purest mockery a mortal shows when looking at a god.
He slowly raised his head, his deep, abyss-like eyes piercing through layers of oppressive power, like two poisoned blades, stabbing straight at the expressionless Saint Satan, who was possessed by Im.
Then he spoke.
"...You damn Celestial Dragon," Rocks' lips parted slightly, each word enunciated clearly and heavily, "I'm not interested."
The words fell.
Lox took a step forward.
boom!
Black and red flames exploded from beneath his feet, like magma spewing from hell, instantly engulfing his entire body! Overlord-colored lightning crackled wildly across his body, ripping apart the air it clung to!
He grinned, revealing two rows of gleaming white teeth; it was an expression that suggested he wanted to devour someone.
"but……"
"I'm actually quite interested in how to pull you down from that high throne!"
His outrageous words are earth-shattering!
At this moment, the last trace of divine indifference in the inhuman, empty eyes of the Saint Satan, possessed by Im, finally faded. In its place was the wrath of the gods, cold enough to freeze time and space.
"You really look exactly like Davy Jones."
"Exactly the same kind of stupidity."
David Jones?
The name is unfamiliar.
Few of the people present had heard of it.
Both Whitebeard and Kaido frowned.
When Crox heard the name, he paused for a moment, as if a rusty nerve had been touched, and he was momentarily taken aback.
It's an instinctive reaction when you hear a name that has been buried for a long time and exists only in the deepest part of your bloodline memory.
But just a second later, that moment of astonishment was replaced by earth-shattering, maniacal laughter!
"Haha... Hahahahahaha!"
Lox laughed wildly, his laughter filled with madness and self-mockery, as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world. He laughed so hard that he bent over backward, and the black and red lightning bolts around him trembled violently.
He laughed so hard he bent over, his whole body trembling. His domineering aura became even fiercer and wilder with his laughter!
"I am not even one ten-thousandth as good as my ancestors!"
The laughter stopped abruptly.
Lox suddenly lowered his head, his eyes, burning with a mad flame, fixed on Im. His tone suddenly became extremely sarcastic and sharp, like a whip soaked in salt water, lashing hard at Im's unspeakable past!
"But I know that promises must be kept!"
Those who break their promises... will certainly receive the most severe punishment!
These words carry a certain taboo.
The distorted space around Im paused for a moment.
Lox leaned forward, the pressure almost tangible. He lowered his voice, but every word exploded in Im's mind.
Am I right?
"You so-called king of the world, do you dare step out of your dilapidated garden? Do you dare show your true face to anyone?"
He suddenly straightened up, his voice rising again and sweeping across the entire room!
"You only dare to appear when you possess an old man's body!!"
"You... coward who broke your promise!!"
This barrage of questions, packed with information, left the white-bearded man beside him completely bewildered. What Davy Jones? What agreement? What garden? He recognized each of these words individually, but together they pointed to a secret he had never encountered before, hidden deep within the world.
The white-bearded man next to him frowned as he listened.
He gripped the naginata tightly, its blade flashing coldly, and asked in a deep voice.
"Lox, what are you saying? What do you mean?"
Without turning his head, Locke stared intently at Im, every pore on his body tense.
"Just some things from the past!"
His answer was simple and direct.
It was filled with unquestionable trust.
He doesn't need an explanation.
He knew that Whitebeard only needed one reason to start a war.
The reason is that he, Rocks, is still standing here!
Having his wounds exposed and publicly humiliated by a mere "insect," Im's divine fire ignited completely.
He stopped talking.
There's no need to waste words on a dead person.
hum-
The space around Im began to twist and fold wildly, like a rag being crumpled by a giant hand. An indescribable power was gathering, a power that was neither Haki nor Devil Fruit ability, but a more primal and pure destruction.
A pure black energy ball took shape in His raised hand.
Inside the sphere, countless stars are born and die.
The decision to kill is made!
A great battle is imminent!
"Ready!"
Rocks growled, his legs bent slightly, his body lowered, and the knife in his hand emitted a soft groan as if it wanted to drink blood, with black and red Conqueror's Haki crackling around its blade.
"Gurarara..."
Whitebeard let out a hearty laugh, gripping the "Murakumogiri" tightly with both hands. The Armament Haki on the blade was so thick it was almost dripping, and white cracks appeared in the surrounding air!
"Ororororo!"
Kaido also laughed wildly, his muscles bulging as he instantly entered his beast form. Purple lightning and black and red Conqueror's Haki mingled on his spiked club, radiating a savage rage that threatened to destroy everything!
Three completely different, yet equally domineering auras surged into the sky!
One is an abyssal blackness that devours everything!
A pale light that seemed to shatter the sky!
One is a destructive purple that burns everything in its path!
The three forces combined into one, transforming into a towering storm that forcefully withstood the divine might!
The entire Valley of Gods trembled and wailed under the clash of these forces!
A hair's breadth away.
Im's attack is about to land!
call out--!!
call out--!!
Two enormous slashes, so fast that even Observation Haki would have difficulty catching them, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and came from the sky!
A piece of pure gold, incredibly sharp!
A pink dish, so sweet it's almost addictive!
The two slashes crossed in mid-air to form a giant "X", aiming directly at Satan, who was possessed by Im!
This was something no one expected!
Im's attack was interrupted.
A hint of displeasure flashed in his inhuman eyes.
The left hand, imbued with terrifying energy, remained still; the right hand was simply raised casually and lightly swung in response to the two slashes capable of splitting mountains.
There was no loud noise.
There was no explosion.
The golden and pink slashes crashed into the distorted space in front of Im and vanished into thin air, erased without leaving a trace.
Im's power is unfathomable.
However, the immense impact of the strike still stirred up clouds of dust and debris, forming a massive curtain that temporarily blocked the view of everyone on the battlefield.
For a time, the center of the Valley of the Gods was shrouded in a chaotic clamor.
