Pirate: My crew are all emperors?

After severely injuring Kaido again, and then having people take him down to rest, Edward came to Xia Qi's office alone and asked:

"Any news from the captain?"

Xia Qi sighed quietly:

"Not yet. The phone bugs have completely lost contact. Since they left the contact island in the West Sea, they have lost their trace within a few days. Even the hidden lines that wanted to follow them have been lost. It seems like... they disappeared out of thin air. Same thing."

"how so!?"

Edward was a little uneasy. Although there weren't many things that could threaten Rocks with his strength, he was afraid of nothing but the worst. There were still too many unknown things in this sea.

At this time, Xia Qi no longer had any intention of joking, and looked at Edward seriously:

"I will continue to inquire about the captain's whereabouts, but before he comes back, you, the vice-captain, have to stabilize the pirate group."

"Of course I know."

During this period, the World Government seems to have begun to take action again. Could it be that they have noticed Rocks' situation and want to take the opportunity to cause trouble?

If this is the case, then they may have miscalculated. Even if Rocks is not here, with the current strength of Beehive Island, even if the Navy and the World Government join forces, they may not be able to win it.

But it is always necessary to be prepared for any possibility. For this reason, Edward arranged for many people to go to the naval base for surveillance and report to Beehive Island as soon as possible if they made any big moves.

"Don't let anything happen to you, Captain."

Edward looked at the coastline and murmured to himself. He had always wanted to see the final dream world, so why would he want to end it here!

……

Uncharted.

Rocks panted and looked at everything in front of him. He no longer knew how long he had been here, and he didn't even know whether it was day or night outside. He only knew how to swing the knife endlessly, and then swing the knife again.

The darkness in front of him seemed to be unable to be dispelled at all, and he could only watch helplessly as they approached him.

Rocks' physical strength has reached its limit. Not only can he not use any Haki, he even has almost no strength to hold the sword.

"Do you still want to struggle? You can't resist me at all. Without the seed of darkness, you are just an ordinary person with a little strength."

The black shadow spoke slowly, his voice hoarse and indifferent, as if he was a god of death who despised everything.

Rocks didn't answer because he almost didn't have the strength to speak.

A thought couldn't help but emerge in his mind, maybe... it wouldn't be bad to just give up like this, right?

Before he could make this choice, a call made him wake up instantly:

"Rox!"

That was Liz's voice, that was Liz's worried and tired call. What happened to her?Are you in danger?

Rocks' will that was about to give up suddenly regained consciousness. He must not collapse here. He still has a lot to do, and he has to lead everyone to the real new world!

Seeing that Rocks was still struggling to hold on at this level, Heiying suddenly had an inexplicable meaning in his tone:

"What on earth...is supporting you?"

Rocks barely managed to fend off one or two attacks but was unable to do anything. He watched helplessly as the black mist passed over his body, corroding it into a mutilated appearance.

At this time, he looked extremely miserable. Not only was his left hand and right leg missing, but even the color of the Dark Moon Blade had become much duller.

The most important thing is that the inside of his body has been corroded by the black mist in invisible places, leaving countless hidden wounds. If it cannot be cured, he may not survive long at all.

"Ahem, maybe...it's just the unwillingness in my heart..."

Rocks held on to keep himself standing. Even though he was already exhausted, he still didn't intend to give in in front of the black shadow.

"Before I complete that dream, I will never fall. I will not lose to anyone, not even 'God'!"

Just when the black mist was about to completely envelope Rocks, the black shadow suddenly laughed:

"Hehe...hehehahahaha..."

This time, the shadow's voice was no longer so deep, but had an inexplicable lightness to it.

"Maybe this is the right thing to do."

The black shadow stretched out his hand towards Rocks. Rocks subconsciously wanted to resist, but the shadow turned into black mist and merged into Rocks' body. Before it disappeared, Rocks vaguely heard this sentence:

"You also have D's will in your body, but whether it represents Destiny, Dream, or...Devil, it all depends on your own choice."

After saying that, Rocks' consciousness gradually blurred. When he woke up again, he found that he was back on the dock outside the research institute.

Liz was struggling to resist the incoming mechanical guards, but it seemed that she was almost reaching her limit.

"Liz?"

Rocks' call surprised Liz.

"You finally woke up!"

Liz finally let out a sigh of relief. After Locks fell into a deep sleep, she had been planning to leave on the opposite route from when she came.

However, not long after, Liz discovered that the island that should have been behind her actually appeared in front of her again, and no matter how she changed her course, she would eventually return here.

Liz wanted to wake Rocks up, but found that he was unresponsive, but his brows were furrowed, and he seemed to be in some kind of nightmare.

Those mechanical guards went into the water to destroy the sailboat. Liz had no choice but to bring Rocks ashore. Otherwise, as she and Rocks were able users, it would be even more dangerous to fall into the water.

After landing, what greeted her and Locks was the endless siege of mechanical guards.

Although Liz covered the plants with her domineering energy and surrounded her, creating a barrier-like existence, it was ultimately difficult to resist these menacing mechanical armies, and she was about to be caught by them breaking through the barrier. Fortunately, Rocks finally woke up at the last moment. .

Rocks still felt a little dizzy in his mind, but now was not the time to be in a daze. He subconsciously touched his waist, only to find that the Dark Moon Knife was missing.

Just when he was still wondering where the saber had gone, a familiar dragon roar sounded, and the red and blue Dark Moon Knife tore open the water and returned to Rocks' hand.

"This is!?"

This feeling is unmistakable. This is exactly the breath of the mixed-color dragon that I saw in the dark space. Now it is integrated into the inside of this knife?

In addition, Rocks also discovered some changes in his body. Originally, the Dark Fruit only allowed him to release black mist with special effects, but it did not allow him to become elemental.

However, now, he can turn his body into a part of the black mist at any time, completely becoming a natural type.

"It always feels...a little strange, but not bad!"

The corner of Rocks' mouth raised slightly, and the Overlord's Domain was activated. The black domineering energy instantly crushed the mechanical guards around him, turning them into dust and absorbing them bit by bit.

As these dusts are absorbed by the Overlord's Domain, Rocks can feel that his power is constantly increasing, as if these things are turned into the purest energy to enhance his physique.

"Is this the ability of the Dark Fruit, no, the Dark Seed!"
