Chapter 194 Breaking News! Lox's Sudden Enrage Shakes Beehive Island

Deep within Brian's estate, in a forbidden chamber, the walls are constructed of the purest seastone alloy, and the air is so thick it seems to have turned into liquid.

Brian was sitting cross-legged on the ground, shirtless, his body supported by a violent yet precisely controlled flow of energy.

At the center of his chest, a dark purple sphere of light was slowly rotating. This was the result of his efforts over the past few months—his increasingly powerful Armament Haki.

"call----"

Brian's every breath caused the entire secret room to tremble.

In his mental world, he was currently in a vast ocean, but this ocean was not water; it was an endless, domineering ocean. He was like a giant whale in the deep sea, opening his mouth wide and frantically devouring everything around him.

These four months have been the most intense period of his growth since he came into this world.

He knew very well that the Valley of the Gods, which would arrive soon, would be a turning point.

On that island, the old order will be completely shattered, and the seeds of a new era will be born with blood. If he merely maintains the status quo, he may survive, but he will never be able to control his own destiny.

"Ryuo - Internal Destruction - It's not just a technique for using Armament Haki."

Brian slowly opened his eyes. "This power is truly ferocious, enough to determine the outcome of a battle."

Just as he was about to close his eyes and continue to explore the essence of power, an unprecedented sense of throbbing instantly pierced through his Observation Haki network.

These threads were originally used to monitor the pirates' training and prevent rebellion, but at this moment, the sensory network formed by his Observation Haki began to break down.

No, it wasn't a breakage; it was due to being subjected to pressure far exceeding its capacity, which directly shattered it into its most primitive atomic state.

"This is----"

Brian abruptly turned his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the thick seastone walls, looking towards the direction of the Skull Palace. His body instantly vanished from the room.

When Brian appeared on the observation deck at the highest point of the manor, he was so stunned by the sight before him that he stopped breathing.

The sky has cracked open.

This is not an exaggerated rhetorical device, but a physical fragmentation.

The clouds that had been gloomy and hanging over Beehive Island now looked as if they had been cleaved in two by a giant axe that spanned the heavens and the earth. What leaked out of that huge crack was not sunlight, but a chilling, destructive dark red flash of lightning.

This electric light did not fall, but rather moved slowly along the edge of the cloud like some kind of liquid substance.

"That is—"

Brian's Observation Haki was frantically alarming, every cell screaming and urging him to leave.

That was Conqueror's Haki, surpassing anything Brian had ever seen, even surpassing the ultimate Conqueror's Haki displayed by any of the Four Emperors in the original work, including himself.

Faced with such pressure, the magnetic field of the entire island was completely disrupted, and the compasses docked in the harbor spun wildly, eventually bursting due to the pressure.

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

"Thump!"

On the streets, the pirates who were training were now falling down in droves, like wheat being harvested.

They couldn't even scream. The extreme fear severed their nerve signals, and for most of them, their hearts stopped beating the instant they fell to the ground; they were literally "scared to death."

Even the core members of the Rocks Pirates, whose bounties exceeded 100 million and who usually considered themselves tough guys, were now pale-faced, their hands gripping the rocks in the ground tightly to resist the shockwave that was about to shatter their souls.

"Is that Captain Rocks? What's going on? How could he suddenly unleash such power?"

Shiki the Golden Lion's voice rang out from not far away.

Brian turned his head and saw Shiki floating in mid-air. This once arrogant swordsman's eyes were bloodshot, and the two famous swords in his hands—"Sakura-ju" and "Kumo"—were trembling slightly.

That wasn't fear, but rather a low hum produced by the sword after it sensed some kind of "status" suppression.

"Ski, you felt it too, didn't you?" Brian said in a deep voice, as a light blue shield automatically appeared around him, resisting the continuous aftershocks.

"Ah—I feel it." Shiki grinned maliciously, though the smile looked somewhat stiff. "There's something new in that man's domineering aura. A kind of madness that wants to trample the whole world under his feet."

Meanwhile, Charlotte Linlin's enormous body stood atop a small hill. Instead of gorging herself as usual, she stared intently toward the direction of the main hall.

Her soul, the Homies, and Zeus the thundercloud and Prometheus the sun, who called her mother, had shrunk to two fist-sized spheres and were trembling behind her.

"Lox—are you trying to kill me here too?" Lingling gritted her teeth, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes trembling violently with anger and terror.

Edward Newgate, the white-bearded man, was the last to arrive.

He leaned on his massive Murakumogiri, each step leaving a deep footprint in the ground. His expression was unusually grim, and his enormous arms, powerful enough to shake the ocean, were now taut, with veins bulging like dragons and snakes.

"Newgate, you couldn't resist either?" Brian landed beside him.

"Brian—something's wrong." The white-bearded man looked down at the knife in his hand. "This domineering aura is tinged with extreme anger. This means that something happened in the hall that could destroy Rocks's sanity."

"Yes, extreme anger?" Brian's heart skipped a beat, as if he had thought of something.

Just then, the doors of the main hall...

The massive gate, made of pure black iron, weighing tens of thousands of tons, and said to be unshakeable even by giants, suddenly burst open from the inside.

Countless tiny iron filings, amplified by the domineering aura, shot out like bullets in all directions. Brian casually waved a barrier of domineering aura, blocking the deadly iron filings.

Da Da Da~

In the dust and fog.

A black figure slowly emerged.

As this figure appeared, the entire island fell into absolute silence. Even the wind stopped flowing, and the waves froze in mid-air, as if they could not move.

Lox D. Giebeck.

He wasn't wearing a cloak, just a half-open black robe. Beneath his skin, intricate dark red patterns were swirling wildly, like living parasites.

At this moment, Lox looked at what seemed like a demon from hell, capable of easily devouring a person's soul, or even anything else.
