Chapter 80: Can you let me have my fill?
A stream of liquid gold condensed in the air, then quickly took shape in Oro's hand, transforming into a long and sharp golden sword.
Dark red arcs of Conqueror's Haki and jet-black high-level Armament Haki coiled around it simultaneously, the two colors of Haki staining the originally golden sword body as if it came from the abyss.
Oro held his sword horizontally with both hands, actually managing to block the long blade that Lox brought down with tremendous force.
"Thanks to the Rocks Pirates and the Celestial Dragons for their continuous scourge on the world over the years."
Oro's voice cut through the jarring sound of the blades clashing: "I don't need to be a compassionate saint, or even a good person in the traditional sense."
"All I need to do is be better than you, and use more honorable methods, and that's enough!"
As soon as Oro finished speaking, the golden ground beneath Rocks suddenly shifted!
Countless sharp golden spikes suddenly shot out, stabbing at Lockes' lower body from various tricky angles with extreme ruthlessness!
At the same time, countless golden chains, as thick as a wrist, shot up from the ground, clanging with metallic noise, and wrapped around Lox's limbs and neck, attempting to restrict his movements.
A fierce glint flashed in Lox's eyes, and a low roar escaped his throat. The intensity of the domineering aura surrounding him instantly increased by a level, and the oppressive feeling that was about to materialize even made the surrounding air hum uncontrollably.
The muscles in his arm holding the knife bulged, unleashing an even more terrifying power that forcefully knocked the longsword that Orogg had blocked away.
The instant the longsword was deflected, Rocks' body spun violently to the side with an agility that defied common sense. His longsword drew a sharp arc, and the domineering aura gathered on the blade tore through the air, striking Auro's chest with a speed that was difficult for the naked eye to perceive!
"Sizzle!"
A sickeningly sharp, tearing sound of metal rang out.
While completing this fierce counterattack, the blade flashed continuously, and Rocks swiftly severed all the golden spikes and chains that attacked from the surrounding area!
Metal fragments flew everywhere, and he used the recoil from the slash to drift backward, creating a distance of more than a hundred meters between himself and Oro, before landing steadily on a messy ground.
Lox, who had landed in the distance, did not immediately give chase. He scanned Oro's golden body and the ground around him, which was also turned golden, his brows furrowed, and his face showed surprise and scrutiny.
"—If it were just about turning the surrounding environment into gold, it could be explained by the awakening of a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit. But this kid's body—"
Lockes' mind raced: that last strike clearly hit and broke through the kid's defense, but the sensation from the blade felt completely wrong.
A golden body—could it be a Logia-type elemental form? And isn't the Gold-Gold Fruit a Paramecia type?
And even if he transforms into an elemental being, why doesn't that domineering aura work? What's wrong with this kid?
"Oh my, what a terrifying blow, Rocks."
Oro's voice came through, still carrying that infuriating calmness. He looked down at the huge, hideous wound that stretched from his left shoulder to his lower right abdomen.
Rocks's blow was incredibly vicious, almost splitting him diagonally in two, a truly horrifying sight.
Unfortunately, despite the severity of the injury, not a single drop of blood flowed from the wound.
There was no trace of red flesh or tissue inside the wound, only a dark gold color that looked as if it had melted and then cooled and solidified.
Haki is indeed the nemesis of Devil Fruits, capable of grabbing the physical body of the Devil Fruit user and causing effective damage.
However, all Auro needs to do is decisively and precisely utilize his absolute control over gold to discard the parts that Rocks' Haki has touched.
After successfully fusing with pure gold to awaken his Devil Fruit and entering this special pure gold form, both Oro's body and Devil Fruit abilities underwent a qualitative change.
He no longer felt fatigued. In the past, even if he just wanted to permanently solidify a few grams of transformed gold, he would have needed to be exhausted for at least ten days.
Now, he only needs to replenish his energy in time, and the word "tired" will no longer exist in his dictionary.
The gold that had been assimilated in the surrounding environment surged toward Oro and then quickly merged into his body.
The solidified gold at the wound on his chest, like a lifelike gold mold, was completely peeled off his body by the surging new gold and fell to the ground.
From the moment Rocks launched his backhand slash to the moment Oro's chest was restored to its original state, the entire process took only two or three breaths.
Auro looked at Lox in the distance, his right hand holding the sword forming a decorative dagger, and his face couldn't help but show excitement.
There are still about eleven years until the "God Valley Incident," but Oro knows that the man in front of him was already able to use the Marine Headquarters Admirals as speed bumps seven years ago.
Oro was eager to know just how far he could go in fighting this maritime tyrant!
"Gurgle"
All the gold on the entire island suddenly began to boil at that moment!
They no longer stay quietly on the ground, but are constantly restless and surging.
Countless bolts of gold shot into the sky, rapidly changing shape in mid-air, transforming into a dense array of various weapons, including cannons capable of spewing out streams of scorching gold.
These golden weapons launched a saturation attack on Rocks from the sky, from the ground, and from every possible angle in all directions, using all sorts of cunning and ruthless methods!
At the same time, more gold formed massive golden torrents, like rivers flowing into the sea, wave after wave, continuously surging towards Auro.
"Hey, Rocks!"
Auro's voice pierced through the golden storm surrounding Lox, filled with soaring fighting spirit: "Can you let me have my fill!"
'
As Rocks once again swung his longsword, shattering a large number of golden chains that were trying to bind his ankles, along with a dozen or so golden javelins—
A colossal giant of light, towering into the sky, rose from the ground before him!
The Giant of Light has horns on its head similar to those of the ancient giants. The light it emits is not the golden light of gold reflecting sunlight, but a blazing white light representing extreme heat!
The giant of light merely stood there, and the terrifying heat radiation it emitted caused the air around its body to distort violently, causing everything around it to begin to melt, and even the seawater around the island to boil and steam!
Locus looked at the giant of light without the slightest fear, and threw his head back and let out a wild laugh.
"Hahaha!! Having a good time, you blond kid!"
He laughed loudly, ripped off his already somewhat tattered captain's uniform, and tossed it aside, revealing his muscular upper body: "I'll make sure you experience all the thrills of your life right here and now!"
