Sleeping Guzheng, deep inside Pfister Cathedral.
Rocks slowly pushed open the door in front of him.
An eerie and terrifying atmosphere accompanied by a strong smell of blood hit me in the face.
Rocks frowned slightly, then slowly walked in.
The moment Rocks entered the room, the door behind him slammed shut with a loud noise.
Turning his head to look at the closed door, a smile appeared on Rocks' lips.
“It’s getting more and more interesting.”
Ignoring the closed door, Rocks looked around the room calmly.
In the dark room, hundreds of candles were burning slowly.
The faint candlelight made the already dark room seem even more eerie.
In the large room, besides the hundreds of burning candles, there was only a large black altar.
On the black altar, there was a dark red coffin that emitted an eerie red glow under the candlelight.
Apart from these two things, there are no other items.
“Huh…”
A breeze blew by, and the candle flames in the whole room swayed continuously.
The swaying candle flames, reflected in the light, looked like a group of demons, swaying their ugly bodies.
Boom, boom, boom...
The knocking sound suddenly rang out.
“Hiss. Hiss…”
The whisper of suicide came from somewhere and reached Rocks' ears.
The atmosphere in the entire room began to become depressing.
The smell of blood began to fill the entire room, and the temperature dropped, irritating Rocks' nerves.
"interesting."
Rocks did not show any sign of panic at the series of changes.
His eyes were calm, with a smile on his lips, and he walked slowly towards the dark red coffin on the middle altar.
"I didn't expect that after hundreds of years, you are still alive, Marquis Auguste."
As he spoke, Rocks opened the lid of the dark red coffin.
"roar!!!!!"
A shrill scream echoed in every corner of the room the moment Rocks opened the lid of the coffin.
Scarlet eyes slowly opened.
"call out"
"clang!!!"
A sound of metal collision was heard, and the famous black sword Zangetsu collided with the sharp claws.
“Hiss… Roar!!!”
A sharp and piercing roar reached Rocks' ears.
Rocks looked at the monster in front of him with surprise.
The skin is dark purple, the face is green and the fangs are fangs. The eyes are wide open with huge pupils filled with bloodshot.
His body was so swollen that his originally proper aristocratic attire was deformed.
A head of golden curly hair was casually draped behind her, and her long nails turned into sharp claws.
There is a huge hole on the pitch-black bat wings behind.
The horrifying appearance was completely different from the elegant vampire in Rocks' mind.
"What kind of monster is this?"
Rocks looked at the monster in front of him with some surprise, constantly resisting its attacks.
“Roar!”
Perhaps because the attack was too long and it failed, the monster let out an unpleasant roar, and its entire body instantly disappeared into the air.
Endless darkness instantly enveloped the entire room.
"call out"
A cold light flashed, and sharp claws suddenly flashed out from the darkness and grabbed towards Rocks' neck.
"Oh, this kind of darkness is of no use to me."
Rocks chuckled, dodged the claw attack with a slight movement of his body, and then slashed towards the left side of his body with a knife.
"puff"
The sound of a sword entering the body was heard, and black blood splattered.
Gravity Repulsion
"Buzz!"
An anti-gravity force suddenly erupted, directly knocking the monster away.
Under the terrifying anti-gravity impact, the monster slammed heavily into the wall.
The entire wall was covered with dense cracks due to his impact.
“Roar…”
The monster that rolled down the wall to the ground roared and stared at Rocks with crazy eyes.
"Has he completely lost his mind, or is he just a living dead?"
Rocks looked at the monster in front of him, somewhat confused.
If Auguste was not dead, he should not look like this, but if he was already dead, then why is the power of the devil fruit still on this corpse
"Could it be that this is because of this church?"
"Roar!"
The monster's roar brought Rocks, who was lost in thought, back to reality.
The monster roared, waved its claws, rushed towards Rocks, and began to attack randomly and frantically.
"Is instinct the only thing left?"
Rocks' eyes flickered as he continued to resist the monsters' attacks.
"Gravity Blade, Tiger!"
With one blow of the sword, Rocks shook the monster away, then flipped the blade, and a purple gravity wave instantly burst out as Rocks swung the sword.
"boom!"
The violent lateral gravity directly destroyed the walls in the room.
The ugly monster was also sent flying backwards by Rocks' attack.
The dark blood splattered, staining the snow-white ground black.
Rocks carried Zangetsu and walked to the monster that was lying on the ground, coughing up black blood and looking listless.
"It's too weak, and it doesn't have any properties at all."
Rocks pierced the monster's heart with a knife, picked up the monster and walked towards the altar in the room.
“Roar…”
The monster that was pierced by the black knife Zhan Yue kept roaring.
However, because he was too weak, he was powerless and could not put up any resistance.
"Hey, Boss Rocks, is it over so soon?"
Enel appeared from nowhere and walked over with a basket of apples in his hands.
"Hmm? You came just in time."
Rocks saw the basket of apples in Enel's arms and spoke.
"ah?"
Enel looked at Rocks in confusion.
"Hey, what is that? It's so ugly."
"Stop talking nonsense. Come with me. I want to do an experiment, too."
As he said that, Rocks walked into the room and threw the monster into the dark red coffin on the altar.
"Give me the apple in your hand."
Rocks waved at Enel, threw the basket of apples in his hand into the coffin, and then chopped off the monster's head with a knife.
After doing these things, Rocks used his ability to move the coffin lid over and put it on the coffin.
Enel looked at Rocks' series of actions in confusion.
"Boss Rocks, what are you doing?"
He patted the coffin curiously and looked at Rocks again.
"It's just an experiment." After saying that, Rocks stopped talking, sat cross-legged on the ground, and waited silently.
While Rocks was waiting, the pitch-black altar lit up with a dark light.
The pitch-black darkness that seemed to devour everything dimmed the light in the entire room slightly.
"Hey! Boss Rocks, what's going on?"
Looking at the sudden dark light, Enelu asked in surprise.
"I don't know either, but maybe my guess is right."
About ten minutes later, the dark light dissipated and the light in the entire room returned to normal.
Rocks stood up and slowly opened the lid of the coffin.
"As expected, there is something strange about this altar."
Rocks looked at the monster in the coffin and saw that it had disappeared. Only a dozen apples and a purple apple with a strange pattern were left. A smile appeared on his face.
Reaching out and taking out the apple with purple patterns, Rocks looked at it carefully.
Enelu, who was standing by, stared at the devil fruit in Rocks' hand with wide eyes in surprise.
"Wow, Devil Fruit?!!!! The apple actually turned into a Devil Fruit!"
Rocks ignored Enel and put the purple devil fruit in his arms.
"Okay, you've been watching for so long, you can come out now, Count Reinhardt."
“Snap, snap, snap… ..”
In a dark corner, Count Reinhardt clapped his hands and walked out with a smile on his face.
Behind him followed Sister Maria.
"As expected of a pirate with a bounty of 2 billion berries, Captain Rocks. He was able to defeat that monster so easily." (To be continued)
