Chapter 21: 《One Piece: Magma of Absolute》Chapter 20: Rocks Driven to Madness
CRACK!
The very air fractured where two fists collided. In the midst of battle with Garp, Rocks looked as if he'd just heard the world's funniest joke.
"Die?"
A surge of raw power exploded from him.
Garp was sent flying, tumbling through the air. Rocks spun around, facing the incoming slash of sword energy that seemed to split the heavens themselves.
"Ahahahaha!"
"You want to kill me?"
"With just the likes of you?!"
Rocks' savage laughter thundered across the battlefield. He let the blade of energy crash against his body—yet it didn't even pierce his skin.
"I—!"
His left hand shot out, grabbing hold of the very slash that struck him.
"—am—!"
With a violent twist, he hurled the colossal sword energy aside. It tore through the sky, carving a hundred-meter-deep trench that stretched as far as the eye could see.
"ROCKS!!!"
His voice, tinged with madness, echoed like a storm. With a stomp, he shot forward—a hurricane of destruction, obliterating everything in his path. His right-hand weapon, wreathed in Conqueror's Haki, came down in a brutal arc toward the sword-wielding Five Elder Star.
"Ahahahaha!"
"Is this all you've got?"
"Not enough! Not nearly enough!!"
"All of you—"
"COME AT ME WITH EVERYTHING YOU'VE GOT!!!"
CLANG!
Blades collided. Conqueror's Haki clashed.
Black-violet lightning arced and crackled, dancing wildly through the air.
Rocks laughed maniacally, pouring every ounce of strength into pressing down on the Five Elder Star's blade. He held nothing back.
With each push, the opposing blade was driven lower. Rocks' eyes grew wild, his grin twisted with insanity.
His power only mounted, lightning exploding around them.
The sword-wielding Five Elder Star held out as long as he could—until at last, he was blasted away.
"Ahahahaha!!!"
Watching the Five Elder Star sent flying, Rocks howled with unrestrained, crazed delight.
At that moment, Roger emerged from the ruined underground palace.
"Divine Departure!"
A deep, resonant voice rang out. Roger charged, his blade slicing through the air—interrupting Rocks' frenzy.
CLANG!
Their swords met in a thunderous clash. Rocks locked blades with Roger, his expression suddenly sharpening.
"Roger, you're one of the D clan too."
"You really want to stand against me?"
The madness in Rocks' eyes faded just a touch, his voice dropping to a low, dangerous rumble.
"Rocks, I don't want to fight you," Roger replied, somber. "But I can't let you have that thing."
"And besides…"
"I've already destroyed it."
He spoke quietly, a shadow passing over his face.
At those words, Rocks ground out each syllable, his face darkening with every word:
"You—what—did—you—say?!"
Each word was colder, heavier, more menacing.
Roger met his stormy gaze and repeated, voice low:
"I've already destroyed it."
BOOM—!
Blinded by rage, Rocks smashed Roger away and lunged to kill.
But Garp suddenly appeared, fist wrapped in Haki, and brought it crashing down. The ground erupted, forming a crater as large as a lake.
Rocks was driven deep into the pit.
"YOU WANNA DIE?!"
His savage roar erupted from the depths.
BANG!
In a flash, his figure vanished from the crater—reappearing right in front of Garp.
Both men swung their fists at once.
Space itself shattered and rippled outward.
Just then, a deafening rumble began to build—growing louder, and louder, until it exploded in a cataclysmic boom.
The earth trembled. The ground split and cracked, inch by inch.
The roar was relentless.
A pillar of energy, a hundred meters thick, erupted from beneath the palace—shooting skyward in a blinding column.
It pierced the heavens, unleashing a scene of utter devastation. The world itself seemed on the verge of collapse.
Elsewhere, Rocks felt something stir deep within his blood—a primal, ancestral shudder.
Driven to the brink of madness by hatred, his eyes bulged with fury. His voice, raw and guttural, was laced with boundless malice as he howled:
"You—ALL—MUST—DIEEEEEEE!!!"
