Rocks looked at the island-sized giant fist, his expression more solemn than ever before.
The Gibeck's Sword in his hand suddenly erupted with dense, black-red lightning as thick as barrels, instantly blasting large craters into various buildings and the ground.
At this moment, Rocks' expression was as serious as when he faced Imu in the Holy Land Mary Geoise!
He was even more earnest than when he cut down that Marine Admiral.
In this moment, he truly regarded Fang Huo as an opponent of the same level.
"Fang Huo! Since when did you become so strong?!!"
"Maximum Ring: Hell's Curse!!"
Rocks stepped forward, stomping the ground into an explosion, and swung Gibeck's Sword, slashing upward at the towering giant fist in the sky.
"BOOM!!!"
Rocks' terrifying sword energy and Fang Huo's towering giant fist violently collided in mid-air.
In this instant, the world lost its color!
Fang Huo, who should have been a mere imitation of Sun God Nika, surprisingly didn't collapse immediately.
Fang Huo was not a true Sun God Nika ability user.
But he used other abilities to supplement the attack power of Sun God Nika.
Several poneglyphs were fused into the very front of the towering giant fist via the Munch-Munch Fruit ability, directly clashing with Rocks' strongest sword energy!
The More-More Ability and Gravity Ability were used for acceleration and pressure, the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability supplemented the attack power, and the Moonlight Ability added god-like visual effects.
Plus, he had a Luck Buff active!
Even if Fang Huo couldn't win, he wouldn't be injured or defeated!
Fang Huo piled all of his Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki onto this massive divine fist, completely pushing his Haki to its limits.
Having gone all out and exhausted his hidden cards, Fang Huo could finally clash head-on with Rocks on equal footing.
The shocking and intense collision between the two caused the members of the Rocks Pirates and the Giant Race to widen their eyes.
The violent shockwaves forced top-tier powerhouses like Harald and Whitebeard to struggle to protect the people behind them.
The entire Research Island was plowed over by the terrifying shockwaves, turning completely into ruins.
Amidst the black-red lightning splashing across the sky...
After a stalemate of several dozen seconds, Fang Huo was the first to encounter a problem.
The massive island-sized fist suddenly leaked air and shrank; Fang Huo was directly propelled into the horizon by the recoil, turning into a speck of lightning.
"Fang Huo!!"
Charlotte Linlin immediately stepped onto Thunder Cloud Zeus and soared into the sky!

"Damn!! Can Fang Huo already clash head-on with Rocks!!"
Golden Lion Shiki was so shocked by the intense collision between Rocks and Fang Huo that his heart trembled.
If he were to take that move from Rocks himself...
He would probably have perished at Rocks' hands, just like that Marine Admiral.
Clearly, when he first joined the Rocks Pirates, Fang Huo's strength was only at that level, not much stronger than himself.
How has the gap between them reached such an extent now!
Fang Huo's Nine-Fruit talent and Three Types of Haki talent are truly terrifying!
"What's with that form! When did Fang Huo get that ability?!!"
Silver Axe Fierce had no idea that Fang Huo actually had this terrifying White Giant Form.
He had also heard the screams of those giants just now.
What Sun God Nika?
When did Fang Huo eat another Sun God Nika Fruit!?
"It's Sun God Nika!!"
"Sun God Nika is the deity we of Elbaf believe in!!"
Loki, Dorry, and Brogy all shouted excitedly.
The legendary divine warrior had actually appeared before them so abruptly.
This was no different from Fang Huo, the supreme great succubus, suddenly appearing before those fanatical beauty-obsessed fans.
"Fang Huo is actually Sun God Nika!"
Even Harald and Elder Yaruru were swept up in the excitement.
"When did Fang Huo get Joy Boy's ability!!"
Rocks was a bit frantic; there was still no news of the Dark-Dark Fruit he wanted.
Yet, Fang Huo had obtained another divine fruit.
If he couldn't wait for the Dark-Dark Fruit, perhaps he should discuss it with Harald; he wanted to eat Elbaf's inherited national treasure.
That legendary Black Dragon Ability that could destroy everything!
"That White Giant Form is truly unforgettable!"
Whitebeard Newgate had already thoroughly etched that Sun God Nika form into his mind.
"As expected of the man I admire most!!"
Kiel Bastard, the number one fan king, looked incredibly excited, revering Fang Huo even more than Stussy and Shimotsuki Furiko did.
"My husband is indeed a god!!"
Vortex Erza's red eyes were full of admiration; her husband was surely even more powerful than her ancestor, the God of Whirlpool!
"Jiehahaha! Fang Huo already possesses strength no less than Rocks; I support Fang Huo taking over as Captain!"
Golden Lion Shiki started acting up again, openly sowing discord between Rocks and Fang Huo.
"It's Fang Huo who is no less than Rocks, not you. Do you want to get slashed by Rocks!"
Silver Axe Fierce looked disdainfully at Golden Lion Shiki, that annoying orange cat, wishing Rocks would punch Shiki's foul mouth shut.
"Has the Vice Captain's Moonlight Ability and Rumble-Rumble ability already awakened?"
"The two forms before the White Giant Form were also very strong!"
Barbel felt that the Moon God Form and Thunder God Form were both powerful and domineering.
Thoughtfully, he activated his Mera Mera no Mi ability, surrounding himself with a strand of flame clouds, imitating an awakened Fire God Form.
However, does a Logia type awakening really produce flame clouds like a Zoan Type awakening?
"I recall that Paramecia Type awakenings don't involve flame clouds!"
"Could it be that Fang Huo's Paramecia Moonlight Ability is actually a Mythical Zoan Moon God ability?"
Ganzi, a Paramecia Bomb-Bomb Fruit user, was very certain that Paramecia awakenings definitely do not involve flame clouds.
That is an effect belonging to Zoan awakenings.
"We'll just ask once Linlin brings Fang Huo back!"
Redfield was still deeply shocked by Fang Huo's Sun God Nika form.
Against such a monster, even if he exerted all his effort, he seemingly couldn't even see Fang Huo's back!
Today Fang Huo can clash head-on with Rocks; maybe next time he'll be on par with Rocks, and the time after that, he'll be thrashing Rocks.
Fang Huo, this Nine-Soul Mutant, simply cannot be judged by common sense.

Before long.
Charlotte Linlin flew back, holding Fang Huo, who was somewhat exhausted.
Both the members of the Rocks Pirates and the Giant Race immediately surrounded them.
"Let's leave first. If you have questions, ask on the ship..."
Fang Huo leaned into Charlotte Linlin's ample embrace, quickly recovering his physical strength and Haki.
The blood energy stored by his Vampire Ability was rapidly released, replenishing Fang Huo's exhaustion.
Hearing this, Golden Lion Shiki swiftly used his Float-Float Fruit ability to levitate the warships of the Rocks Pirates and the Giant Race, quickly leaving the Research Island.
Now, like everyone else, Shiki was desperate to know exactly what Fang Huo's ability was!
With their departure, the ruined Research Island slowly fell into silence.
Only the ruins, plowed by violent forces, bore witness to the terror of this epoch-making battle.
