Chapter 120 Arjuna betrays Kaido, to save him or not?
After a short while, the light faded, and the destructive roar was replaced by a near-vacuum silence.
That bottomless pit was like a hideous scar on the earth.
It silently spoke of the terrifying power contained in that attack, a power that transcended the laws of this world.
This also proves that what just happened was definitely not a dream.
silence.
A deathly silence enveloped the entire ruins of Katrea.
It even drowned out the cheers that erupted from afar as the fire rain ceased.
All those who witnessed the entire process of "O Sun, submit to death," regardless of their stance, strength, or morality.
Everyone's brains entered a brief state of shock.
Of all the people, Ace's gaze immediately locked onto the golden figure slowly descending from the sky.
At this moment, Karna had lost his gleaming golden armor. He was only wearing a simple robe, his face was pale, and his breath was much weaker.
But his straight back and calm expression were even more dazzling than when he was wearing golden armor.
A complex and indescribable emotion surged violently through Ace's heart.
He opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound.
He could only watch with satisfaction the figure that had brought him and everyone else the dawn of victory.
Karna seemed to sense Ace's gaze.
He turned his head slightly, his golden eyes meeting Ace's. His gaze remained calm, yet seemed to carry a subtle gentleness.
It's as if they're saying: We succeeded, thanks to you.
Kidd's mouth was agape, drool dripping from the corner of his mouth without him even noticing; his untamed heart was pounding wildly.
It is both because fear harms people, and because of an unspeakable longing—a longing for that ultimate power.
Luo's fingers, gripping "Ghost Cry" so tightly they turned white, were trying to use "ROOM" to sense the bottom of the pit.
However, what came back was a void of turbulent energy and a signal of complete annihilation of matter, a result that sent chills down his spine.
Boa Hancock instinctively clutched her chest.
For the first time, the proud empress truly felt how pale and powerless she was in the face of that power.
Moonlight Moria's obese body trembled violently; he didn't even dare to look in Karna's direction, wanting only to hide himself completely in the shadows.
"Damn it! I should never have come. Let those monsters fight the Holy Grail War!"
Bucky had fainted from fright, and his men were frantically trying to wake him.
Compared to these "naive" supernovas and Shichibukai.
Even more shocking are the two people who truly stand at the top of the world: Shanks and Kaido!
A bead of cold sweat slowly slid down Shanks' forehead.
He had witnessed Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit destroy the world, seen a Marine Admiral alter the heavens and earth, and even personally experienced Captain Roger's domineering aura of listening to all things and leading the era. But that attack just now was completely different!
It was an absolute annihilation that touched upon the rules, the ultimate restraint against that demon god.
But it's not because of restraint that the child is so powerful; even without restraint, this terrifying power could still sweep across the sea.
Is this a Heroic Spirit? Is this the ultimate achievement that the Heroic Spirit named Karna could reach?
If the target of this attack was himself, Shanks gripped Griffin tightly.
The answer is self-evident: even if one exerts all their domineering power, the result will only be the same as that lava demon god, all of them being annihilated.
However, this actually excited him a little.
I won't mention it.
What if the target is the god on the Void Throne?
Kaido's shock was mixed with even more complex emotions.
He considered himself an immortal being, but he was as soft as tofu in the hands of that magma monster.
The lava monster looked like a joke in the face of that golden torrent.
In that instant, he clearly felt a faint, cold touch!
This is something I haven't felt in over a decade.
As this emotion surged into his heart, his dragon eyes suddenly narrowed, and his berserker, which he found so appealing, was also on the verge of that terrifying attack.
"Cú Chulainn!!"
Ignoring the excruciating pain in his chest that felt like it was tearing him apart, Kaido struggled to twist his massive blue dragon head and anxiously looked toward the edge of the deep pit.
Although that black-armored madman had only been summoned for a short time, I couldn't defeat him!
That pure, frenzied fighting spirit, that disregard for life and death, that relentless drive to kill—it was exactly to Kaido's liking!
Those are my men! They're my berserkers! They must not die under any circumstances!
In the stillness of the night, as everyone was reeling from the lingering power of the God-Slaying Spear and their minds trembled, "Cough...cough cough..."
Two faint but clearly audible coughs suddenly came from the bottom edge of the huge pit!
Is anyone still alive?!
Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it!
Two figures were lying in the bottomless scorched earth pit.
A tall figure, charred black all over, with the lava armor covering his body long gone, revealing the mangled flesh beneath.
It was vaguely recognizable as Sakazuki Akainu, who had returned to human form!
His eyes were closed, his breath was extremely weak, like a candle flickering in the wind, and he was unconscious.
The primary target of the God-Slaying Spear is the divine core of the Lava Demon God.
It was a miracle that Sakazuki was able to leave behind a mangled body after the demon was annihilated, or perhaps it was the work of the Smoke Mirror in secret.
Another figure knelt beside him, leaning on the menacing demonic spear, breathing heavily.
It is none other than the Mad King Cú Chulainn!
His black armor was covered in spiderweb-like cracks, and in many places it had even melted.
The exposed skin was covered with burn marks, making the wolf-fox look wretched.
But he is still alive and is slowly trying to stand up!
Although the madness in those scarlet eyes had diminished, the fighting instinct remained.
In the final moments of Vasavi Shakti's arrival, his "protection from arrows" allowed him to narrowly avoid the core of destruction.
However, it came at a huge cost, and severe damage was inevitable.
"Still—still alive?!" someone exclaimed in shock.
"Akainu isn't completely dead! That black-armored spearman survived too!"
"Monsters are monsters!"
With the threat of the Lava Demon completely eliminated, Sakazuki was clearly no longer able to fight.
Meanwhile, the main force of the Red Team—Shanks, Hawkeye, and others—were showing signs of instability and had clearly expended a great deal of energy.
Karna lost his golden armor, and his aura plummeted.
Ace and Luffy were already depleted of magic.
Although Merlin possessed profound magical power, he couldn't possibly recharge everyone's energy. The Mad King was also at his last gasp. In an instant, many onlookers began to have their own thoughts.
Especially those pirates and ambitious individuals who originally harbored the intention of picking up scraps and seizing the "Overseer's Gift"!
"Akainu and that black-armored Heroic Spirit are now powerless to resist!"
"Take them down! The reward will be ours, right?!"
"Maybe we can even steal that Heroic Spirit!"
"Go for it! It's your chance!"
Greed instantly overwhelmed fear, and many figures began to stir restlessly, reaching towards the edge of the pit.
"A bunch of idiots!"
Luo muttered a curse under his breath, coldly watching those guys who were blinded by greed.
"Didn't that attack just now wake you up? Getting close to that area was suicide!"
He knew that even if Karna was temporarily weakened, Shanks and Hawkeye were still around, and none of those Heroic Spirits were easy to deal with.
Moreover, "Fuck fuck fuck fuck, so interesting, so very interesting!" Doflamingo stood on the high place, laughing so hard he almost fell over.
"Aren't humans just like that? They've just fought a common enemy, and now they're already rigging the fight and stealing kills?"
"This is human nature! Shakespeare, write it down!"
"Ah! Greed and folly are always the best seasoning for drama!" Shakespeare wrote furiously.
Meanwhile, in the shadows.
"Hahaha!"
Blackbeard Teach licked his chapped lips, his eyes gleaming with extreme greed.
His gaze was fixed on the unconscious Sakazuki at the bottom of the pit and the Mad King Cú Chulainn struggling to climb up.
"Count! Did you see that? Akainu isn't dead yet! And that berserker has incredible resilience!"
"Could we think of a way to kill Kaido and then steal that berserker?! His Noble Phantasm seems pretty powerful too!"
The count bowed gracefully, a cruel yet elegant smile appearing on his pale face.
"As you wish, Contractor, although it is somewhat difficult to directly seize other Masters' Servants."
"But if a vengeful spirit that has lost its mind is doing its job, it would be perfectly reasonable for it to kill an additional seriously injured Master along the way, which would be perfectly reasonable."
A dark glint flashed in his scarlet eyes.
The next moment, right at the edge of the pit, Arjuna had just completed his revenge.
He was in a state of inner turmoil when suddenly, almost imperceptible black threads appeared on his pure white spirit robe!
His eyes, which had been somewhat empty after his revenge was completed, were instantly filled with a cold, uncontrollable rage and a bloodlust.
A dark force originating from Avenger briefly eroded his spirit base!
「!?」
Arjuna's body trembled as he tried to resist, but the darkness's encroachment came too quickly and too strangely!
He suddenly raised his head, his eyes, once again filled with killing intent, instantly locking onto something not far away.
Kaido of the Beasts, who had just breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the Mad King alive, was now completely unconscious due to his severe injuries!
In Arjuna's out-of-control eyes, Kaido's immense life energy and his identity as the "Master of the Black Faction" were key factors.
Having become Akainu's replacement, he is a target that must be eliminated!
"Captain! Watch out!"
Chi and Quinn immediately noticed Arjuna's unusual behavior and his chilling killing intent!
Ignoring their own injuries, the two men stood like two mountains of flesh in front of the unconscious Kaido.
"It's in the way."
Arjuna, now under control, coldly uttered two words, and the divine bow Gandiba was instantly drawn.
It didn't even gather much power; it was just a casual arrow!
*Pfft*
A streak of white light flashed by in an instant! Its speed was incredibly fast!
His entire right arm, along with his shoulder, vanished instantly.
Quinn's massive mechanical body was instantly pierced, exploding with a large burst of electric sparks and oil, and he fell to the ground screaming!
With just one arrow, the two top executives of the Beasts Pirates were instantly rendered incapable of fighting!
"captain!!"
King endured the excruciating pain of his severed arm, his eyes filled with despair as he looked at Arjuna, whose arrow tip was pointed directly at the head of the unconscious Kaido!
He abruptly turned his head, looking at the red team who seemed to still have energy left, and almost roared, shouting desperately,
"Pirate King! Son of the Sun, Shanks!! Mihawk! Save our captain!! Please!!!"
This scene once again caused an uproar among all the onlookers!
"It's been pre-ordered! It really has been pre-ordered!"
"What's going on with that archer in white? Why did he suddenly attack Kaido?"
"Isn't that a rule of the Holy Grail War? After all, they're originally enemies!"
"Kaido is finished! The Red Team is barely able to save themselves, how could they possibly save him?"
"Look! What are the redheads going to do?"
Karna was in the center of everyone's attention, leading the way.
Although he's no longer wearing the Golden Armor and is in a very bad state, there are some things that must be done.
He wasn't there to fight Arjuna, but to shield himself from arrows.
One reason was for Kaido, their friend who helped them, and the other was to prevent Arjuna from doing something he would regret.
During the charge, Karna's gaze met Ace's, filled with determination.
With the Lava Demon defeated, his mission is complete, isn't it?
The final mission is...
Arjuna, come and kill me! Then I woke up!
Roger was clearly itching to act, but he was held back by Luffy not making a move yet.
Merlin grasped Shanks and Karna's arms and gently shook his head.
Luffy managed to pat Roger on the shoulder and then used his ability to grab Shanks, who was in the distance.
"Uncle Roger! And Shanks too! Uncle Blue Dragon helped us, hurry and save him!"
Doflamingo's laughter grew even more rampant.
"Fufufufu! Save him? Why should we save him? That's Kaido of the Beasts! His death would only benefit the Red Team, right? This plot is just too good!"
On the deck of Vimona in the distance.
A hint of pleasure flashed in Gilgamesh's crimson serpent eyes, and Jeanne hesitated whether to go down and help Kaido.
However, no one violated the rules after all. Although it wasn't exactly aboveboard, it wasn't forbidden.
"The grotesque behavior of these mongrels always pleases me. Alright, Dilt, the farce is enough."
"Look at your so-called system. What decent reward did it give for taking down that fake Vulcan?"
Dieter withdrew his gaze from the tense standoff below, a playful smile on his face, and silently thought to himself.
"System, claim the limited-time mission reward: defeat the Lava Demon God."
[Command confirmed. Contribution points for the Lava Demon Slayer are being calculated.]
[Red Team: Luffy, Ace, Shanks, Mihawk]
[Black: Blackbeard, Donquixote Doflamingo]
Dieter couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"Ha ha ha ha."
"Oh dear, Doflamingo's move was too ruthless. Kaido worked his ass off for him and didn't even get paid."
[Settlement complete, prizes distributed to participants]
Just as the system notification sounded, Arjuna's arrow, imbued with chilling killing intent, had already left the bowstring below!
It transformed into a white beam of death, shooting towards the unconscious Kaido's forehead!
And Quinn's eyes were about to burst!
A hair's breadth away.
What exactly is the reward?
What choice will the red team make?
Kaido's fate hangs by a thread!
