Chapter 705: Satoru vs. WhitebeardThe battle between Clown and Julie was very strange.From the start, Julie acted as if she had gone mad, swinging and striking blindly, as if she couldn't see Clown at all.In the end, when Clown attacked her eyes, she coincidentally collapsed, saving her eyes but losing the match completely.Therefore, Clown was the winner of the third 1v1 duel... Inside the waiting room."Did you see that clearly? White Kid."Whitebeard asked, naturally inquiring if Satoru had seen through the battle between Clown and Julie.Satoru nodded and offered a guess."There should only be one explanation... that girl fell into an illusion.""She scared herself unconscious.""I just don't know how that Clown made her fall into a dreamscape.""The world is vast, the sea is vast, and besides, this is the Underworld. It's not surprising to see some strange abilities. You'll have to be careful when you face him."Whitebeard warned.Satoru replied with a smile, "I'm actually curious what kind of illusion could scare someone unconscious.""You brat."Whitebeard thought to himself, 'Fine, I tell you to be careful, and you're actually looking forward to getting caught in it, aren't you?'At that moment, Clown returned.Satoru and Whitebeard stopped their conversation.It wasn't that they were afraid of him, but there was nothing left to discuss.No matter which of them faced this Clown, they wouldn't flinch.The fourth match was the ninja Fuujiro vs. Karokasof the Long-Leg Tribe.The strength of the two was quite similar.In the end, Karokas won by a kick, successfully knocking Fuujiro off the stage to win the round, though he himself was quite badly injured.With this, the 1v1 duels for the quarter-finals concluded. Next would be the semi-finals and the final battle... The coliseum tournament had reached the semi-final stage.The heat of the scene did not diminish; after all, the closer it got to the end, the higher the odds. If they managed to bet on the champion, they would make a fortune.Davy Jones: You guys might profit, but I never lose.After a short halftime break, the Old Ghostannounced the match list again, once more claiming it was fair and just.The semi-finals.Two matches.Satoru vs. Whitebeard.Clown vs. Karokas... Inside the waiting room."Oh my, we're up against each other, Pops."Satoru actually seemed quite happy."Gurarara, then you'd better be ready! White Kid!!"Whitebeard was also very happy."Even though I've lost the Tremor-Tremor Fruitability and it's ended up with you, don't underestimate me. I've roamed the seas for many years, and I relied on more than just the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!"Satoru smiled back, "Look at what you're saying. How would I dare underestimate you, Pops?""Don't worry, I'll use every bit of focus and strength I have to fight you and then claim victory.""Don't talk big, kid! Let's see what you can do!"Whitebeard replied, then walked to the weapon rack on the side and picked up a naginata.The weapon rack had always been there, just like during the group matches, providing weapons to choose from.In the first 1v1, Whitebeard hadn't taken a weapon because he felt it wasn't necessary.But fighting Satoru, he felt it was necessary."Is that really necessary, Pops?""Without it, I might not be able to fight to my heart's content.""Just don't get too excited and slice me up!""Gurarara, that depends on your own strength. If I get carried away, just dodge!""If I could dodge, I wouldn't just stand there like an idiot and let you cut me!"The two of them left the waiting room through the spatial rift, bickering back and forth until they reached the stage.Karokas was still sitting in his seat. He was quite heavily injured from his fight with Fuujiro. He was thinking that even if the championship and runner-up were out of reach, he had to at least secure third place!However, he didn't notice that Clown had already focused his gaze on him. The eyes and mouth on the mask on his face began to wriggle again... On the stage, Satoru and Whitebeard stood facing each other.Satoru's palms were slightly sweaty; this was completely different from fighting Lone Wolf.His opponent was Whitebeard!He was likely the strongest opponent Satoru would face in this coliseum tournament."This one's going to be exciting!!""One is a newcomer who can use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability!""The other is Whitebeard! The former user of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!""It's truly unique that they've met.""Wait, why would they even meet!?""Could it be that the boy died right after getting the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability?"Satoru:...So smart. Being too smart brings bad luck!"Gurarara, kid, do you want me to make the first move?"Whitebeard said, his presence overwhelming."The strength of the soul also depends on the strength of the body during life.""Pops, you could shatter that mercenary's armor with one punch. Obviously, going head-to-head with you is madness.""But this time, I want to try being mad!"A smile appeared under Whitebeard's crescent mustache, "Good lad, then come at me!"Hearing Whitebeard's words, Satoru didn't waste any more breath. He instantly drew shelley, his figure flashing as he appeared in the air, slashing down at Whitebeard.Whitebeard smiled and swung his naginatahorizontally with one hand to meet him.shelley's blade clashed with the naginata's blade.It was a very primal clash of pure strength, without any other powers.Satoru's hand went numb from the single strike, and he was sent flying back.Sent into the air, Satoru took the opportunity to swing his hand, sending out two slashes. This was Zoro's Wind Slash. Although he had gained feedback on the swordsmanship of Red Hair, Hawkeye, Zoro, and other swordsmen, Satoruhimself was still a step away from being a master swordsman capable of producing slashes on his own.Facing the descending slashes, Whitebeard pulled back his free hand and threw a punch! There was no vibration power, but the mere wind from the punch annihilated the two slashes.Satoru landed and swallowed hard. This physical strength was just too unfair!"Gurarara, White Kid, is this all your own strength amounts to?"Satoru couldn't stand to hear that."Air Compression Burst · Hagoku!"With the impact of the Air Compression Techniquecombined with the burst of Hagoku, Satoru swung his blade horizontally at Whitebeard's feet. Why the feet? Because with both feet on the ground, he could only reach Whitebeard's feet.Whitebeard flipped his naginata, blade pointing down, and with a reverse grip on the handle, he swung it diagonally upward. The naginata's blade struck Satoru's shelley blade perfectly.Satoru was sent flying again, but this time, Whitebeard retreated half a step.Don't look at it as just half a step; Satoru was satisfied. This was a result he had achieved using only his own physical state. He hadn't even used the Moon God Fruit's ability yet. As for the idea that replication wasn't his own, Satoru had already made peace with that question.What do you mean it's not mine? As long as I can use it, it's mine. Why split hairs over it!No longer overthinking, Satoru instantly entered the Moon God Selene Form."What is that?!""The moon?!""How long has it been since we've seen the moon?!""So beautiful!!!"The sky of Hell held only endless night. The appearance of the moon caused the crowd to explode with excitement.As the moon floated behind Satoru, their admiration for its purity and beauty transferred to Satoruhimself."Just who is that kid?!"
Chapter 706: The Purity Isn't Enough!!"Who on earth is that kid?!"Satoru activated his Moon God Form, allowing the Underworld, which was perpetually pitch-black and devoid of stars or a moon, to witness a moon hanging in the sky for once.The residents of the Underworld in the audience were deeply shaken by this scene; they hadn't seen the moon in a long time, and at this moment, the silver-glowing moon and Satoru appeared so holy in their eyes.They were also incredibly curious about Satoru's identity.Meanwhile, Davy Jones, who knew that Satoru had eaten the devil fruit of the Moon God, rested his face on one hand, leaning against the armrest of his seat, feeling only annoyance as he watched Satoru's appearance."Holy?""What does hell need with holiness?!""It's truly unsightly!!"..."Gurararara, is this the ability you gained from the Tremor-Tremor Fruit?""Moon God?""It is indeed as bright and clean as the moon!""The full moon rising over the dark sea is also one of the spiritual pillars for pirates!!!"This was Whitebeard's assessment after seeing Satoru's Moon God Form."That's right, Pops, this is the reason I obtained the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.""This is the true name of my Replication Fruit, Moon God Selene!""As for how the ability performs, you'll know once you experience it yourself!""I'm going to use my ability!"Satoru struck forward with his right hand, which wore the bracelet; the diamond-shaped lenses on the bracelet spun rapidly, the space where he struck shattered, and a Shockwave crashed toward Whitebeard.Being attacked by an ability he had mastered for decades, Whitebeard felt it was a bit strange.But!"White Kid! This Shockwave of yours!! The purity isn't enough!!"Whitebeard's arm muscles bulged, and he gripped the handle of his naginata with both hands, slashing down fiercely from above!This slash seemed as if it would split the entire earth in two; as the Shockwave approached, the blade slashed down right onto it.The two sides held for a second, then Whitebeard's blade slashed down completely, and the Shockwavevanished entirely!Using brute force to negate a Shockwave, one can only say, as expected of you, Pops Whitebeard.(Although they are souls, the setting of the Underworld allows souls to use Armament Haki. Whitebeard clearly didn't use an invisible Armament Haki wall to block this, but rather brute force, which shows just how immense his strength is.)"Clang!!"Just as the audience was surprised, Satoru had already closed the distance, floating in the air, and slashed down with his blade.He dared to be so reckless because he had already replicated Pops Whitebeard's Armament Haki, covering his entire body in Armament Hakihardening, which is why he dared to close in so recklessly.Whitebeard, however, merely raised the handle of his naginata casually and blocked Satoru's blade."Then what must I do to improve the purity? Pops?"As the two confronted each other, Satoru asked directly.Whitebeard smiled beneath his crescent mustache, "It's not enough to just strike out a Shockwaverandomly!""Concentrate the Shockwave onto your fist to form a vibration energy ball; that way, the vibration you strike with will be at its strongest!"Upon hearing this, Satoru immediately practiced what he preached, raising his right hand wrapped in a vibration energy ball, and then smashed it down toward the naginata handle.Because the bracelet was on his right hand.Satoru was using his left hand to hold shelley, which was formed from one of the diamond-shaped lenses of the bracelet.The fist smashed down, space shattered, and with a cracking sound, the floor beneath Whitebeard's feet cracked open.However, the naginata handle in his hand was unharmed; this was because Whitebeard had covered it with Armament Haki in advance. Otherwise, if Satoru's punch had landed, a normal naginata handle would have already shattered into dust.Although Whitebeard was very confident in his own physical strength, there was no need to take such a close-range vibration impact head-on, so he had also covered himself with Armament Haki. Therefore, Satoru's punch didn't do much damage, but it wasn't negligible either; it was enough to cause Whitebeard's arm to bend slightly, which showed that the power of Satoru's punch was not small.Extending his arm forcefully, Whitebeard pushed Satoru back with a vibration.Satoru did a flip in the air and landed steadily, "How was that, Pops? Did I learn well?""Gurararara!!!""You learn fast, but the force is still lacking."Whitebeard replied with a laugh, then instantly stopped laughing, swung his blade, and a slash covering nearly the radius of the stage was unleashed.Satoru's eyes widened, he retreated a few steps, and only by leaping away did he dodge the slash.The slash continued flying backward, looking as if it were about to hit the wall beneath the audience seating. If it hit, there was no telling what might happen, but then a spatial rift appeared in front of the slash, and the slash flew straight into it and vanished.Without needing to guess, everyone knew that the only one who could do this was Davy Jones.Returning to the stage, Satoru was surprised, "Pops, you're also a master swordsman?!""Gurararara, having wielded a naginata for so many years, what's wrong with knowing a few slashes?""Kid, remember, the vibration energy ball can be condensed, and it can also be struck out. Usually, it's struck out using a weapon, which makes the recoil on your body much smaller.""And when striking out through a weapon, if it's something like a sword or blade, adding a slash makes the effect even better, doesn't it?""Gurararara!!"Although it was called a duel, in reality, Whitebeardwas teaching Satoru how to efficiently master the abilities of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.After listening to Whitebeard's instruction, Satoruimmediately switched shelley to his right hand.It wasn't that he couldn't use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit with his left hand, but Satoru was right-handed, and he was more comfortable using a blade with his right hand.Holding the blade in his right hand, Satorumobilized the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to concentrate the vibration energy at the tip of the blade, and a vibration energy ball gradually enveloped the tip."Not bad, that's it!"Whitebeard felt gratified by Satoru's learning ability, even though this vibration energy ball was intended to hit him.Just like that, Satoru raised shelley, with its tip wrapped in the vibration energy ball, and slashed horizontally."Hagoku!!"The vibration energy ball flew out, with the rotating slash of Hagoku enveloping it; the two powers stacked together, cutting a deep trench into the ground as it swept across.Faced with the incoming vibration energy ball and the Hagoku slash, Whitebeard didn't dodge at all!He reached out and tore off his coat, revealing his scarred upper body. The moment the attack struck, he stomped, cracking the floor, gripped the naginatahandle with both hands, his eyes seemingly emitting a red glow, and slashed fiercely at the vibration energy ball.The blade pressed down on the vibration energy ball.But the rotating slash of Hagoku couldn't be pressed down, constantly impacting Whitebeard's body. Yet, Whitebeard didn't retreat a single step, gritting his teeth as he pressed down on the vibration energy ball."I am... Whitebeard!!!"The naginata handle cracked, and as the handle broke, the vibration energy ball was pressed down onto the floor.The compressed vibration energy exploded instantly, and the entire Arena began to shake."An earthquake!!""What kind of power is this!!""Hold on tight!!"The audience in the stands immediately grabbed onto anything they could, otherwise the result would be being thrown off the stage or flung outside entirely.Davy Jones's face turned iron-grey; he raised his hands, his nether-green power erupted, and the tremors were instantly pacified. For him, who controlled the entire Underworld, this was nothing.
Chapter 707: This Went Too Far!!Bai Yun launched an attack combining a Quake Energy Ball and a Hegemony Slash, and Whitebeard not only withstood the Hegemony Slash but also forcibly pushed the Quake Energy Ball straight down into the ground—truly worthy of the name Whitebeard.As the Quake Energy Ball slammed into the ground, the entire arena began to shake violently, flinging the spectators near the edges right out of their seats.Seeing the danger, Davy Jones immediately stabilized the arena.Now, looking back at the stage.The entire stage floor, starting from the area in front of Bai Yun, had been blasted into a massive crater.Whitebeard stood within the crater, the handle of his bisento now snapped.Although he had withstood the attack, the residual vibrations had still left him with several cracked wounds.The greatcoat he had torn off earlier was slowly drifting down from above. Whitebeard simply reached out, caught it, and draped it over his shoulders.Bai Yun clearly won that exchange by half a step, yet somehow, Whitebeard looked like the victor.While still in the crater.Whitebeard was about to leap out when he noticed green energy seeping out from the crater walls.Without hesitation, this energy surged and drilled straight into Whitebeard's body.Whitebeard felt the injuries Bai Yun had just inflicted instantly heal. Moreover, a familiar power surged through his heart and mind.He raised his hand and clenched his fist, immediately enveloping it in a quake wave. Whitebeard stared at the power for three seconds, then smiled, pushed off with his feet, and leaped out of the crater.Mid-air, he unleashed a punch directly at Bai Yun. Space shattered, and a quake wave rushed forward.Bai Yun's eyes widened, and he instantly countered with his own quake wave.The two quake waves collided head-on.Bai Yun's wave was clearly inferior, but he seemed to have anticipated this result. He retreated to the edge of the stage just as the remainder of Whitebeard's quake wave slammed into the ground, causing yet another tremor and cracking the stage wide open.The reason Father Whitebeard was able to recover his Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability in the Underworld was, of course, due to Davy Jones.From the luxury seating area, Davy Jones watched Whitebeard, who had recovered his Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, and flashed a cunning smile.He thought, 'Go on, fight! Fight! The best outcome is one dead and one injured!'"...You recovered the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit?""I'm happy for you, Pops.""And at the same time, I'm praying for myself."Bai Yun said this with a half-joking tone."Gurararara, I don't know why it came back,"Whitebeard replied. Since he had just arrived in Hell, like Bai Yun, he naturally didn't know this was Davy Jones's machination.Bai Yun was still unaware that Davy Jones was selling his own energy, allowing the deceased souls to recall the abilities they possessed when they were alive.He only knew from talking to opponents that this energy was some kind of collection, and that it was the source of their Devil Fruit powers, but he didn't know the energy originated from Davy Jones.Whitebeard had originally intended to surrender.It wasn't that he was afraid simply because he lacked the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability.It was that he saw no need to fight Bai Yun.Without his Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, fighting Bai Yun in his Moon God form would require a fight to the death to determine a victor.He was already dead, so there was no need to care about winning or losing; teaching Bai Yun how to use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability was sufficient.But at this very moment, he had suddenly recovered the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.With such a perfect opportunity, shouldn't he go wild?"Kid, tell me, how big is this entire Underworld?""Can we... overturn it?!"Whitebeard raised both hands, his fingers curling as if grasping and wrinkling space itself.The muscles in his arms swelled, and his veins looked ready to burst, showing the immense force he was exerting.However, three seconds passed, and nothing happened.The crowd in the stands just watched Whitebeard hold the pose.Bai Yun hadn't expected Pops to go this far—overturning the entire Underworld?That was interesting enough!Mimicking Pops's movements, Bai Yun adopted the same posture, his fingers curling as if grabbing and wrinkling space—an ability likely unique to the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.Three seconds, six seconds, nine seconds.Still, nothing happened.The audience was utterly confused. Were the two of them just posing at each other?But they would soon regret complaining that nothing was happening.As the River Styx began to ripple.Whitebeard and Bai Yun, the pair of them, opened their eyes, smiled at each other, and began dragging their arms down at an extremely slow pace.Initially, only the sand on the ground began to vibrate, appearing to dance—a tremor too subtle to be truly perceived.The vibration quickly intensified; the sand became pebbles, the pebbles became stones, until the entire arena began to shake violently.No! It was the entire Hell City of Yathelaca! It was the entire Underworld itself!!!"Earthquake!""The earthquake is happening again!!!""Quickly grab onto something nearby!"Chaos erupted once more in the stands.At this point, Bai Yun and Whitebeard had dragged their arms down to chest level, seemingly reaching a critical point. If they fully completed the motion, the consequences would undoubtedly be interesting.It was at this moment that Davy Jones realized.This went too far!!!These two lunatics were trying to overturn his entire Underworld!!!Madmen! Madmen! Madmen!!!!Davy Jones immediately retracted the Nether Energy he had given to Whitebeard.Since he had given it actively, he could take it back.However, the energy he put up for sale could not be retracted; otherwise, if he could take it back, the residents would never buy it.Furthermore, because he had given it actively, Whitebeard could utilize the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to its absolute peak—if he had purchased it, who knows how much money it would take to recall the power to this extent... With a flicker of Davy Jones's consciousness, the Nether Energy vanished from Whitebeard's body.Whitebeard immediately felt his control over the Tremor-Tremor Fruit vanish. His hands dropped down without any resistance. Clearly, he hadn't actually been moving the entire Underworld, but the sensation of pulling against it had disappeared.As for Bai Yun, without Whitebeard assisting him, he couldn't pull the entire Underworld alone. His hands snapped back, nearly dislocating his shoulders—this was likely the Underworld's retaliation."Hiss, that almost tore my arms off.""Pops, did you... lose control of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit again?"Given Bai Yun's intelligence, he could deduce this instantly. Pops wouldn't suddenly let go just to trick him.Whitebeard nodded, sounding unsatisfied. "Yeah, that's a shame.""It sure would. If we had fully pulled it down, that feeling would have been incredible."Bai Yun agreed."Gurararara!!"Whitebeard roared with laughter. It was one thing for him, an old man, to be crazy, but he never expected Bai Yun to join him in his madness and genuinely try to flip the entire Underworld!Bai Yun, Whitebeard, and Davy Jones understood what had just happened.But the spectators in the stands didn't understand. They had braced themselves, sitting upright and grabbing onto anything they could, only for it to end like this?Nothing happened?They thought they were building up to something huge!Tch!!!It was laughable. Too bad they didn't know that if that'something huge' had actually materialized, they would have regretted it forever.
Chapter 708: The Decisive Battle!!!Davy Jones had originally wanted Satoru and Whitebeard, that father-son duo, to fight each other to the death, so he used his own energy to restore Whitebeard's control over the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.However, the outcome he had hoped to see did not occur.Instead, the pair almost turned the entire Underworld upside down.Never underestimate the power of an earthquake, let alone the power of two.Davy Jones hurriedly withdrew the energy he had given to Whitebeard.Satoru alone naturally couldn't shift the entire Underworld; if he possessed that kind of strength on his own, he would have already fought his way to the Gorosei....The tremors throughout the Underworld were terrifying enough, yet only those involved—Satoruand Whitebeard—and the ruler of the Underworld, Davy Jones, knew about it.The people in the audience were unaware; they thought it was just another tremor affecting the whole Arena—a tremor even smaller than the one caused by Satoru's previous vibration energy ball.The two had been deadlocked on the stage for so long; they had expected some major commotion. Was that it?Forget it, let's keep watching.At least for now, both of them appeared to be in good condition and could continue fighting.However, just as the crowd prepared to continue watching the show, Whitebeard raised his hand and signaled."I surrender.""Eh!!!!"In the audience, those who had been dead for decades and knew Whitebeard couldn't help but let out sounds of astonishment.The Whitebeard they knew would actually say the words "I surrender"?!?Had they gone crazy, or had Whitebeard gone crazy?!?That, they didn't know.But they had all bet on Whitebeard, so they were indeed on the verge of madness.That's Whitebeard!!That really is Whitebeard!!They had gone all-in, yet now Whitebeard said he surrendered?!?Are you kidding me?!?However, whether they accepted it or not, Whitebeard had surrendered...."This..."Old Ghost was also encountering this situation for the first time; a case where Whitebeard would surrender while in such excellent condition was truly a first.He couldn't make a decision.But fortunately, Davy Jones was right there.Old Ghost looked at Davy Jones. Davy Jones was still leaning back in his chair, one hand supporting his face, looking lazy.His expression was one of disgust—disgust for the father-son duo, Satoru and Whitebeard. When he found out the two knew each other, he had known this would be the result.Regarding Old Ghost's inquiring look, Davy Jonescarelessly waved his hand, signaling to proceed as normal.Old Ghost hurriedly nodded and announced Satoru's victory.The audience instantly erupted.They began shouting one after another.They were shouting about nothing other than unfairness.It's rigged.They cursed Whitebeard for being old and cowardly, among other things.Davy Jones, annoyed by the noise, had veins popping on his forehead. Suddenly, his energy form surged, and a spectral green energy figure appeared in the Arena, baring its fangs and brandishing claws, looking terrifying.This was the boss of the Underworld showing his power; it was a direct shock to the hearts of everyone in the audience, and the shouting instantly died down.Only then did Davy Jones withdraw his energy form."Continue!"Old Ghost immediately poked his head, which had been retracted into his body, back out. "Next match!""Clown versus Crocus!"However, just as Old Ghost finished speaking.Before Whitebeard had even left the stage, a spatial rift appeared on it. Clown emerged from it, yet his right hand was still dragging Crocus's head.Fortunately, it was the whole body, not just a severed piece.But regardless, Crocus had been beaten down and couldn't continue the match; that was a fact.Satoru and Whitebeard exchanged a look, then continued to watch Clown.Was this Clown here to stir up trouble?That would be interesting.However, while Clown appeared to be here to wreck the place, Davy Jones didn't care in the slightest.The people in the audience were the most confused of all today."What's going on?""The fight hasn't even started yet? And Crocus is already down?""Are you stupid? It's obvious that Clown took him out in the waiting room first!""Is... is this against the rules?""Besides, Crocus is considered an old acquaintance; is this newcomer Clown really that strong?! "...Old Ghost was encountering this situation for the first time as well. Again, fortunately, Davy Joneswas there.After asking, the result was the same; Davy Joneswaved his hand casually, indicating to proceed as normal."Alright...""Then, since contestant Crocus is unable to fight.""For the semi-finals, the winner of the second match is Clown!""First, let me congratulate contestant Whitebeardon becoming the third-place winner of this Gladiator Tournament!!"Old Ghost spoke with excitement, but the applause was sparse.They had all lost their money, so who was in the mood to applaud?Whitebeard had already crossed his arms, not caring at all. Third place? In his entire life, that would count as a stain!"Finally, let us welcome the final showdown of this Arena!!!""Contestant Satoru versus contestant Clown!!!""First, the betting before the battle!""The bets for this round!""Contestant Satoru wins: 1 to 8!""Contestant Clown wins: 1 to 2!"As soon as Old Ghost announced the odds, the audience was in an uproar. What kind of odds were these?!These odds? Is Clown that strong? Are his chances of winning that high??Davy Jones wasn't stupid; if Clown were weak, would he have given Satoru such high odds? Was he crazy?!...Satoru himself hadn't expected this. Wow, was he being underestimated, or was this Clown... stronger than his old man?You have to know, the odds for his match against his old man Whitebeard hadn't been this high.Seeing such high odds, the people in the audience couldn't help but be tempted again.They were tempted to bet on Clown. With these odds, unless Davy Jones was crazy, it meant Clown had a high chance of winning. Even though it was only 1 to 2, if they guessed right, they could at least win some money back!!!As for the money?It's just like water in a sponge; if you squeeze it, there's still some left.The protagonists were Satoru and Clown.Whitebeard naturally wouldn't stay on the stage. A spatial rift appeared, and Whitebeard cast a glance at Satoru.It meant to be careful of this guy.Even the battle-hardened Whitebeard found this Clown guy a bit hard to read; it seemed as if that mask was growing on his face, and there was not the slightest fluctuation in his emotions.Whitebeard only felt full of... laughter.Clown was always smiling, at least his emotions were.Satoru nodded; he would not underestimate anyone.Even with Lone Wolf, when fighting against him, Satoru appeared relaxed but did not let his guard down....With Whitebeard having left the stage and Crocus having been thrown into the spatial rift by Clown.Only the two protagonists were left on the stage: Satoru and Clown.The two stood facing each other.Satoru was still in his Moon God Form.The expression on the mask on Clown's face squirmed, and the smile grew deeper.Along with the "Woo woo woo..." sound of the betting horn ending.The final battle of this Hell Gladiator Tournament began!!!
Chapter 709: Satoru vs. ClownHaving progressed to this point, this Hell Arena Tournament has finally arrived at the decisive moment.Satoru is undoubtedly one of the main characters.However, because Satoru and Whitebeard had clashed earlier, the person opposite him is not Whitebeard, but the Clown who had been provoking other contestants from the start, seeming very weak as he only seemed satisfied after getting hit.But judging from the odds, as long as Davy Jonesisn't a fool, this Clown... should not be underestimated.That's what Satoru thought.He was also thinking about what kind of... surprise this Clown could bring him. Yes, a surprise... On the stage, Satoru and the Clown stood facing each other.The mask on the Clown's face began to writhe once more.Satoru didn't like the eerie smile on that mask.With a wave of his hand, Satoru unleashed a Shockwave. The Clown was smashed to pieces instantly, but then transformed into a shattered playing card.Sensing something was wrong, Satoru immediately turned and swung his blade. The Clown who had tried to sneak attack was instantly cut in half, transforming into a playing card again... In reality, what everyone saw was similar to when the Clownfought Julie. Satoru, like Julie, began fighting wildly. If the first punch was aimed at the Clown, then the second slash seemed like a random swing. There was no one behind Satoru; the Clown hadn't moved since dodging the first punch.In the elimination room, Whitebeard watched this scene, his crossed arms tightening involuntarily."White Kid, you've fallen for it!""...How did he fall for it?"The Clown's ability was bizarre, so bizarre that even Whitebeard hadn't detected it... In the illusion, Satoru frowned because he was now surrounded by a circle of Clowns.Was this the Clown's ability?Sleight of hand?But the terrifying part was that Observation Hakicouldn't detect where the Clown's Main Body was?He wasn't given time to think either.The circle of Clowns instantly launched their attack.Satoru directly stepped and soared into the air. The Clowns crashed into each other, turning into playing cards.In reality, Satoru's movements synchronized with his illusory self, leaping into the air. Being in the air could sometimes help avoid many attacks, but sometimes made it harder to dodge.The Clown flung two sharp spikes at Satoru in the air.However, Satoru didn't dodge at all. Still airborne, he observed the ground below. Just as the spikes were about to hit him, the full moon mirror behind Satoru moved, positioning itself in front of the incoming spikes.The spikes pierced the full moon mirror, sinking directly into it, then were fired back out in reverse, aimed at the Clown on the ground.The Clown retreated to dodge, the expression on its mask writhing slightly.And a crack appeared on the full moon mirror.It was precisely the full moon mirror floating in front of him and developing a crack that made Satorurealize something was wrong.There was an attack he couldn't see!!!Have I been hit?!Satoru pondered internally.The full moon mirror couldn't develop a crack for no reason. A crack meant it had just reflected an attack.No matter what the attack was, he couldn't see it!!!In other words, everything he was seeing and feeling now was fake? He had unknowingly fallen into the Clown's illusion at some point?What a sophisticated illusion!!! He had entered it without the slightest awareness!!...Everything seen and felt is fake... This is a bit tricky.Satoru frowned slightly. This felt like all the attacks he saw were fake, and you couldn't detect where the real attack would come from in the darkness.The inability to detect it was the most terrifying part.If he couldn't detect it, he could only take it head-on!Instantly, an energy filled Satoru's body.The Clown flung spikes again. This time, the full moon mirror didn't move, but when the spikes hit Satoru, they made a metallic clanging sound and were directly deflected.Satoru had used the copied Steel Steel devil fruit of King Bear. His entire body was now like steel, impervious to blades and spears.Simultaneously, the moment the spikes hit him, Satoru instantly raised his hand towards the direction the spikes came from. A flintlock pistolwas already in his hand. He fired three shots in quick succession, one to the left, one center, one right. To dodge, you'd need either incredible speed or to jump upwards.Satoru, unable to see, fired another shot upwards, hitting the Clown squarely in the waist.The bullet passed through, but no blood was seen.The Clown also acted as if nothing happened, just glanced at the pierced spot, then stepped, soared into the air, and descended rapidly towards Satoru. With a flick of both hands, sharp spikes emerged from under his sleeves. Gripping them, he aimed straight for Satoru's eyes.He might be testing whether Satoru's eyes had also turned to steel.Unfortunately, the full moon mirror moved again, flying in front of Satoru's face. As the Clown thrust his twin spikes down, even his hands sank into it. Then, his hands emerged from the mirror's surface, above his own arms. The spikes were still there, stabbing towards his own face.It happened extremely suddenly. The Clown was stabbed in the face by his own spikes.And following the full moon mirror's movement, Satoru clenched his fist and struck. Space shattered, a Shockwave erupted against the Clown, blasting him away... The Clown suffered a setback from this move, sent tumbling across the ground several times by Satoru's counterattack.The moment the Clown was hit, Satoru's vision and senses instantly returned. He immediately fired another shot at the Clown, but it missed. The Clownfell from the air, rolled on the ground a few times, and lay there prone.But Satoru didn't let his guard down either. This might also be an illusion.These two moves, one even being the Clown's own, hadn't defeated the Clown.The Clown got up from the ground. Two holes had appeared on its mask, naturally from the spike stabs.However, these two small holes then slowly filled back in as if time were reversing.And the expression on the mask slowly changed to... crying.At that moment, what Satoru saw changed again.Satoru also understood, "So it's the expression on the mask that makes people enter the illusion.""This illusion is quite different, at least... we're not on the Arena stage anymore."What Satoru saw transformed into a battlefield of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, the ground littered with bodies.Just as Satoru wondered if the Clown was trying to scare him to death, in the blink of an eye, several very familiar corpses appeared before him. They were the corpses of everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates.Simultaneously, a wave of grief flooded Satoru's mind.In other words, it wasn't that Satoru felt grief, but that he was forced to feel grief.But Satoru was also very rationally aware that this wasn't real.Thus, the sight of Satoru with clear tears streaming from his eyes appeared as he said."This way of dying, everyone would dislike.""For example, Luffy and Nami, they'd prefer to die lying on a pile of food or treasure.""It's not that I don't want to take it seriously, but it's just too fake."Satoru spread his hands, with an expression that said 'Is that all you've got?'.As his words fell, the Clown's mask changed again, turning into a furious, hair-standing-on-end expression.What Satoru saw before his eyes also changed accordingly.Led by Blackbeard, the Blackbeard Piratesappeared before Satoru.Satoru raised an eyebrow."With this one, you almost succeeded.""Unfortunately, if Blackbeard saw me, he wouldn't have this smug look. He should be wishing he could eat me alive."
Chapter 710: fools maskThe expressions of joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness on the Clown's mask cycled through completely, and the illusions Satoru saw changed along with them, but none of them could do anything to him.Unfortunately, Satoru also didn't know how to break the illusions.Oh no, he knew; to break the illusions, he had to work on the Clown himself.However, after learning that the full moon mirrorcould reflect attacks, the Clown had become cautious. If he could attack with illusions, he would do so first, wearing down Satoru's will.After all, Julie's consciousness had ultimately been snapped by fear from the hallucinations, rather than being knocked out by the Clown.So, it seemed they were stuck in an infinite loop.And it was a loop unfavorable to Satoru... the full moon mirror showed no reaction, and there were no signs of being attacked on his body.Satoru knew that the Clown intended to grind him to death using illusions!Although he could believe these were fake, the emotions flooding into his mind were real. If he allowed the Clown to keep switching them like this, even the strongest will would break.But if he wanted to attack proactively, he didn't know how best to do it. A large-scale, indiscriminate attack covering the entire stage?Forget it, that's a bit troublesome. He couldn't see the actual situation; if the stage were destroyed, it would be even more disadvantageous for him.Then... could he only surrender?That's hilarious; Satoru declared that the word'surrender' didn't even exist in his pirated dictionary!!!He also finally understood how Davy Jones dared to set the odds for his victory so high.If it were anyone else, they really wouldn't be able to do anything about the Clown.But he was Satoru!!Just as the mask on the Clown's face was constantly changing, arms suddenly grew out of his body and seized him.The scene shifted to the Clown; behind him, another Satoru appeared with his arms crossed... "What?!""Am I seeing things?!"Another Satoru?!""How did he get out?"Everyone in the audience was confused.Even Davy Jones in the luxury seating couldn't sit still. His previously lazy demeanor vanished upon seeing the stage, and he immediately straightened his back.Indeed, another Satoru had appeared on the stage, right behind the Clown.The Clown was restrained by the arms growing from his body; his hands and feet were grabbed, and the hands growing from his shoulders were choking his neck, forcing his head back.And all of this was undoubtedly the work of Clone Bai Yun behind him.As two more arms grew from his head, they began to pry at his mask.The illusion that the Main Body Satoru in front of him was trapped in also vanished.With the illusion gone, the captured Clown was before his eyes, and not far behind him was his clone.This couldn't possibly be an illusion anymore.Satoru pretended to brush dust off himself, speaking as he did so."If I hadn't kept a trick up my sleeve, I really would have fallen for it.""As long as you never got close and used illusions to wear down my will, I would have lost sooner or later.""Am I right?""What a shame.""Do you remember that shot I fired at you immediately after my vision returned following that punch?""That shot missed, but if it had truly missed, I would deserve to be kicked out of the sect by that Old Smoker!""But it did miss, and that's because I didn't intend to hit you at all.""Fortunately, the five senses between the clone and the Main Body are not connected when there is no conscious link; otherwise, I would have really fallen today!"After the Main Body finished speaking, the clone took over the conversation."Now let me see what you, the fellow who's been hiding behind this, actually looks like!!!"As the words fell, Clone Bai Yun's crossed arms and palms gripped tightly, and the arms holding the Clown's mask immediately pulled down with force.However, it stopped halfway through the prying.Nether energy shone from beneath the mask; it was this power that was resisting the arms.This nether energy—who else could it be but Davy Jones?After seeing through Satoru's intentions, Davy Joneshad secretly mobilized his energy.Don't even think about it!!!Satoru sensed that energy; it seemed this matter was indeed related to that old ghost Davy Jones!!Then let's see who can pull harder!!!...Satoru pried at the mask, Davy Jones pulled back on it, and the scene suddenly reached a stalemate.Clearly, for the Clown to have such ability and strength, Davy Jones was inextricably linked to this.No wonder Davy Jones was so confident the Clown would win and set Satoru's odds so high.To be honest, even if Whitebeard were here, he wouldn't necessarily be able to break this situation. The weakness of the Clown not attacking proactively and instead using illusions to wear down one's will was very small, yet Satoru had found it.The situation remained at a standstill. As the Lord of the Underworld, how could Davy Jones's power be weak?Seeing this, the Main Body Satoru decided that if one person couldn't pry it off, then two would!!However, just as he stepped out, a burst of green Vitality Energy shot out from his body, accurately hitting the mask on the Clown's face.Green.The nether energy representing death was this color.The Vitality Energy representing life was also this color.However, this power of vitality was too strong. Even Davy Jones's power was flicked away. Under the backlash, the palm Davy Jones used to release energy was even injured.He couldn't believe it, and the thing he feared had happened... On the stage, without Davy Jones's interference and with the addition of the Vitality Energy, the arms successfully pried the mask off the Clown's face.However, beneath the mask! There was no face. Beneath the mask, the Clown's face was a blank space, without any facial features.In the next second, a powerful suction erupted from beneath the mask, and the Clown's entire body was instantly sucked into it. With the Clown's body gone, the blooming arms naturally vanished as well.The mask fell to the ground, shook for a bit, and then stabilized.A red spider lily was carved onto the forehead of the mask.The expression remained with eyes curved down and a smile curved up, looking quite eerie.It was as if some sort of optical illusion had vanished.Even though the expression was the same and there was only an extra red spider lily, someone in the audience recognized the mask."That's... that's... one of the four great treasures of Hell!!!""The fools mask!!!"In the legends held by the residents of Hell...Hell has four great treasures.The Gold and Silver Coins, which have the ability to open the gate to the human world.The styx ferry boat, which can create the Ghost Candle Nether Boat that carries the souls of the dead.The spider lily heart, which is a piece of soil, but the most special piece of soil in the Sea of Spider Lilies; legend says it has the power to bring the dead back to life.As for the last one, it was naturally the fools maskon this stage.A mask that can see through the entire life of a soul and can manipulate others' emotions.And the owner of these four great treasures of Hell was naturally the ruler of the Underworld.Who was the ruler of the Underworld?Everyone simultaneously cast their gaze toward Davy Jones.
Chapter 711: Any Other Questions?The gladiatorial match had reached its climax, with the final confrontation between Bai Yun and the Clown.As Bai Yun pried off the Clown's mask, the Clown's entire body transformed into a single mask.The residents of Hell City, observing from the stands, recognized the mask as the Fool's Mask, one of the Four Great Treasures of Hell, possessing the ability to see through a departed soul's entire life.It turned out the Clown was merely the mask materialized to participate in the competition.The owner of the Four Great Treasures of Hell was naturally the ruler of Hell.And who could the ruler of Hell be, other than Davy Jones, sitting in the luxurious box seats?...Everyone turned their gaze toward Davy Jones. Although they dared not demand an explanation aloud, their eyes clearly conveyed the sentiment.Davy Jones still had a scar on his palm from the backlash of the life energy. As he looked at Bai Yun now, he grew increasingly furious, wondering why he hadn't captured him back in the Human Realm!!Why was he able to leave the Ethereal Void!!!However, the priority right now was to regain the crowd's trust."Aside from the Gold and Silver Coins and the Styx Ferry, I never carry the other two treasures—the Fool's Mask and the Heart of the Shore Flower—with me.""The Heart of the Shore Flower remains within the Sea of Shore Flowers.""As for the Fool's Mask, it possesses its own consciousness and chooses its own host. I kept it stored in a specialized room in the castle, but it suddenly went missing a few days ago. I never expected it to turn up here!!"This was Davy Jones's explanation.Just then, a brave soul in the audience raised his hand and stood up."But, Lord Death, doesn't the legend say that the Fool's Mask needs to be worn to unleash its power? And the legend also says it's always on your face...""Furthermore... the Clown contestant doesn't appear to be a person, but rather a body specially created for the mask. In this city, the only one with that kind of ability... seems to be you..."Davy Jones: "..."The man had made his point very clearly.Was Davy Jones's silence due to him thinking of a reply?No, there was no way to reply."Ah!!!!"Lightning erupted from Davy Jones's fingertips, instantly reducing the brave soul in the stands to ashes.This was the attitude of the God of Death.If it weren't necessary to maintain his city and his source of wealth, Davy Jones could easily let everyone in Hell City perish!"Are there any other questions?"Davy Jones asked kindly.A kindness backed by the lightning ready to strike from his fingertips.Bai Yun picked up the mask and raised his hand.Davy Jones immediately shot a murderous glare at him!"I have no questions.""Please announce my victory, Lord Death."Bai Yun said with a smile.Davy Jones glanced at the Fool's Mask in his hand. The lightning on his fingertips flickered, then vanished."Ahem, ahem."After two coughs, the Old Ghoul immediately understood, grabbed the microphone, and announced."The final victor and champion of this gladiatorial match is Montenos D. Bai Yun!!!"As the Old Ghoul's voice faded, fireworks burst into the air and sparse applause echoed across the stage.This was because they had lost terribly.Given the odds, betting on Bai Yun would have been sheer madness.But as the saying goes, they now desperately wished they had been mad enough to bet on him.However, a few truly mad gamblers had bet correctly. They had staked on Bai Yun at eight-to-one odds and made a huge profit. The sparse applause came from them; they were clapping with all their might to express their excitement, but since they were only a few, no matter how loudly they clapped, it still sounded faint across the entire arena... The match concluded, and the stage lowered until it sank into the ground and disappeared.Next was the awards ceremony.Davy Jones personally descended to present awards to the champion, runner-up, and third-place winner.However, since the third-place winner refused to accept the ranking and the runner-up was in no condition to receive an award, only Bai Yun, the champion, remained to await Davy Jones's prize money.Bai Yun stood in the center. Davy Jones floated toward him, flanked by the Old Ghoul and two skeleton soldiers carrying a treasure chest.Bai Yun stood tall, hands clasped behind his back, smiling as he waited for his prize money.Davy Jones approached with a stern expression, his heart bleeding as he waved for the two skeleton soldiers to place the treasure chest in front of Bai Yun.The clever ones had already figured it out: for years, Davy Jones had arranged for the Fool's Mask to materialize as a contestant and win the championship. This way, the champion's prize money returned to his own pocket, ensuring he never lost money, especially since the combined prizes for the runner-up and third place were less than the champion's—a fact known publicly by the residents.In this manner, Davy Jones had consistently profited from the gladiatorial matches. As long as the champion was the Fool's Mask, he would never incur a loss. Unfortunately, this system was shattered today by the unusual fellow, Bai Yun.He didn't know how many more matches he would need to host just to earn back this single chest of champion's treasure. Moreover, what if Bai Yun decided to compete every time?Most importantly, the Fool's Mask was still in this brat's hands!!!Forcing out an ugly smile, Davy Jones spoke to Bai Yun."Congratulations, young man! Winning the gladiatorial match on your first visit to Ataraka—your future is boundless!"Bai Yun returned the smile. "You flatter me. It was nothing but luck."After speaking, Bai Yun immediately opened the treasure chest.Whoa! The chest was packed full of gold coins, piled so high that even someone with trypophobia might find it appealing."So, do I still need to pay the entrance fee to the city?"Bai Yun asked.Davy Jones raised an eyebrow. How he wanted to say yes, but the audience was still present."The champion, runner-up, and third-place winner of the gladiatorial match have the right to enter Ataraka directly.""What about the other contestants?"Bai Yun pressed further."Naturally, they must find a way outside to gather enough funds to enter Ataraka.""Specifically, robbing on the River Styx is the quickest method. However, if they enter the river without a Styx Boat, there's a chance they'll fall into the Ethereal Void.""Regarding this Ethereal Void, I believe you have quite a bit of experience.""Alternatively, they can work for me for free for ten years, which grants them direct entry into Ataraka.""Or, they can offer up half of their flesh and blood body in exchange for entry.""It's worth noting that if they want their flesh and blood back, they must buy it at ten times the price. If they choose to reincarnate in this incomplete state, they will be disabled in the corresponding part in their next life."Davy Jones thoughtfully explained all the conditions for entering Ataraka to Bai Yun.Bai Yun glanced at the skeleton soldiers behind him."What happens if they have no flesh and blood at all in their next life?"Davy Jones burst out laughing upon hearing this. "Hahaha! If they have no flesh and blood, what right do they have to reincarnate at all!"Bai Yun nodded. "I see.""I have a friend—the fellow with the swordfish stuck in his head—I'm sponsoring him to enter Ataraka."
Chapter 712: Resurrection?!"I have a friend, that guy with a swordfish stuck in his head. I'm funding him so he can enter Yathelaka."Jason was actually quite... how should I put it, easy to get along with and obedient. Satoru thought that during his time in Hell, he needed someone to do things for him.He didn't trust the old residents; who knew if they were Davy Jones's informants.Jason was a good candidate. Although he didn't understand the city much either, information could always be gathered... Davy Jones was more than happy to hear this; he wanted to take back as much as he could."Hmm..."Davy Jones began searching for Jason's current location, then snapped his fingers. A spatial rift appeared, and Jason was pushed out from within.That swordfish was very conspicuous."This is the one, right?"Satoru nodded.Jason had heard everything clearly in the elimination room just now."Brother Satoru!! Thank you! From now on, even if you ask me to climb a mountain of blades or jump into a sea of fire, I won't say a word of complaint!!""No need for that, no need for that. There aren't any mountains of blades or seas of fire for you to jump into.""I imagine there aren't any mountains of blades or seas of fire in the city, right, Lord Death God?"Satoru held the microphone up to Davy Jones's mouth, also questioning him about what he meant by charging one-tenth of a treasure chest of gold coins for one Jason."Of course not, but if you want to build one, it's not impossible, as long as you have the money.""I've already collected the money. This fellow can enter Yathelaka now. At least in terms of the amount of money, that swordfish on his head also takes up a spot. There's no problem with that, right?"Satoru smiled on the surface, but internally thought: Profiteer."Of course... no problem.""Then, we can leave now, right?"The money was obtained, why stay here any longer?Without waiting for Davy Jones's reply, Satoruturned to leave. Jason tactfully picked up the treasure chest and followed; he was quite strong... "Wait!"Satoru was about to leave, but Davy Jones called out to him.Satoru turned his head, revealing half his face. "What is it, does Lord Death God still have business?"Davy Jones thought to himself, 'You're playing dumb, aren't you?'"That mask.""This mask? It looks quite nice."After saying that, Satoru continued walking.Davy Jones was furious. 'Is that what I meant?!!'"That is one of Hell's greatest treasures, the fools mask. It is my property."Having said that, Davy Jones directly extended his hand, meaning: hand it over.Satoru continued to show him half a face. "I recall Lord Death God mentioning during your explanation that this mask has the trait of choosing its own host. It's very quiet in my hands right now; doesn't that count as it choosing me as its host?""Or are you saying, Lord Death God, that everything you said was... a lie?""You..."Davy Jones understood; Satoru was planning to keep the mask for himself!Without the mask, how was I supposed to hold the Arena matches?!!"You won't be able to handle it!"Since Davy Jones couldn't persuade him openly, he turned to veiled threats."What a coincidence, I love handling things that can't be handled.""Please stay where you are, I'll be going now."As his voice fell, Satoru walked toward the Arena's main gate without looking back.Davy Jones clenched his fists, but let go as it hurt his wounds.Vitality Energy was the ultimate counter for netherworld beings like them.Watching Satoru's departing back, Davy Jones's gaze was fierce as he thought.'Fine! Fine!! Since you've entered Yathelaka!! The days ahead are long!'...At the main gate of the Arena.Outside the Arena's gate were the streets of Yathelaka.At this time, the crowd was surging; it was the audience leaving the Arena.Satoru felt crowded just looking at so many people."Let's wait for a bit.""Alright!"Jason immediately agreed and set the treasure chest down. A chest of gold coins was certainly not light."Gurararara, White Kid, you earned quite a bit, didn't you!"The voice arrived before the person.Satoru and Jason turned to look. Who else could it be but Pops Whitebeard.Behind him were most of the other participants."Quite a bit. It's a pity it can't be collected on someone's behalf, otherwise, as the third-place finisher, you should have had some too, Pops."Satoru said."What's there to mention about a third-place finish?""You... forget it, let's talk once we're out."Whitebeard originally wanted to ask something, but there were too many people around. He thought it better to wait until they were outside.Satoru smiled and nodded.Lone Wolf's abdomen was now wrapped in bandages. Seeing that the two had finished talking, he stepped forward.He first cupped his fists to show respect."Brother Satoru.""Although I lost to you this time, I still want to thank you for your suggestion."Suggestion?What suggestion?It turned out that after Satoru learned Lone Wolfneeded money, he told him before the final punch knocked him out: if you trust me, bet everything on my victory later. That way, you can at least make a sum.Initially, when he saw the odds, Lone Wolfhesitated. But remembering how he was completely dominated during his fight with Satoru, he decided to go all-in and bet on Satoru winning. Now, he was one of those who had struck it rich."It's also because you chose to trust me.""Trust in Brother Bai for eternal life.""No need to thank me."Satoru patted Lone Wolf's shoulder, then glanced at the treasure chest and continued."If the money still isn't enough..."Hearing this, Lone Wolf's eyes instantly lit up with anticipation."Then earn it properly and work hard."Lone Wolf: "...""I will. But for now, this money is enough for Kedina's treatment. I'll stay with her until the treatment is finished."After saying that, Lone Wolf cupped his fists in salute again and followed the flow of people away.Looking at his back, Satoru nodded slightly. "His strength isn't much, but he's a good man.""By the way, Pops, did you never have a woman in your life?""Does that Miss Bakkin have anything to do with you?"Satoru was actually digging for gossip about Whitebeard.Whitebeard folded his arms and looked down at this shorty, Satoru."You brat, you're gossiping about me now?""How do you know Miss Bakkin?""I do know her; she was once a member of the Rocks Pirates."Satoru thought for a moment and replied, "She's currently traveling with a big dummy, claiming he's your son and she's your lover, plotting to swallow the... inheritance you left behind.""Nonsense!!""Even if I had a lover, it wouldn't be her!!""Some son of mine and hers? It's complete rubbish!!"Whitebeard was very angry; he didn't expect to be slandered even after death!!Satoru advised."Oh, don't be angry, Pops.""We don't believe what she says either. Or rather, people on the sea are skeptical of her words too.""If you say it's fake, then after I'm resurrected, I'll go help you dispel the rumors."Whitebeard nodded with satisfaction, then suddenly reacted."What did you say, brat?!""Resurrected?!"
Chapter 713: Finding a Place to StayBy now, the Arena tournament had come to a successful conclusion.As the final champion, Satoru had not only earned a treasure chest but also obtained one of the supreme treasures of hell, the fools mask.It could be said that he had made a fortune.During their conversation at the gates of the Arena, Satoru inadvertently let slip the fact that he could be resurrected.This was the first time Whitebeard had heard of this...."Resurrection?!""Yes, resurrection."Satoru confirmed his own words, but still attributed his ability to resurrect to the use of external objects."Just now, I grabbed someone at random to ask.""There are four supreme treasures of hell.""They are the gold and silver coins, the styx ferry boat, the spider lily heart, and this fools mask.""Legend has it that the spider lily heart can bring people back from the dead.""Since I know it has this function, I have to give it a try.""Do you want to be resurrected?""Pops?"Satoru handed the microphone to Pops.Upon hearing that there was something capable of resurrection, Whitebeard's expression and mood didn't change much."The spider lily heart?""Bringing the dead back to life.""That is indeed a peculiar thing.""Is it reliable?""If it really can bring the dead back to life, you brat should give it a try. You are still young."As expected of Pops, he didn't care at all about the chance for resurrection, instead feeling that Satorushould be the one to resurrect."Pops, don't you want to be resurrected?""I mean, if I could resurrect without needing that spider lily heart, would you want to, Pops?"Satoru pressed.Whitebeard was silent for three seconds, then replied."Just as I said before I died, kid, I have lived long enough. The new era that follows has no ship that can carry me.""Resurrection? After resurrecting, should I continue to bear that sickly body, only to die on a bed again?""I do not regret my death. The only regret I have is that I didn't take Teach down with me. But, I think someone will fulfill this regret for me.""Since you don't regret dying, why resurrect again?""There's no need.""If you really can resurrect, keep this opportunity for yourself, kid, whether you need it or not."Satoru was very impressed by Whitebeard's words."Pops has lived with such clarity.""Wait, that's not right... anyway, it's clarity.""As for whether resurrection is possible, we'll see if we can get the spider lily heart first.""The crowd has thinned out, let's head out and see this hellish city, Yathelaka!""After you, Pops."Satoru had intended to step forward, but respecting the order of seniority, he gestured for Whitebeard to go first.Whitebeard smiled, "Don't bother with all that. You go ahead."Whitebeard was paving the way for Satoru, in both senses of the phrase.Since Whitebeard had said so, Satoru didn't act coy and took the lead.He believed that in the days to come, some interesting things would happen in Yathelakaoutside these gates...."How much? 100 gold coins a month? Why don't you just rob me?!""Customer, don't be so anxious. In our line of business, we have to pay 30% of the rent to Lord Death God. If it weren't this price, we'd be losing money!""Besides, the villa you're looking at is in a great location and everything, so this price is already quite reasonable!"When you arrive in a strange place, what is the first thing you do?Of course, it's to find a place to stay.Satoru and the others left the Arena and stepped out onto the streets of Yathelaka. It was quite lively, but compared to the bustle before them, it was more important to find a place to rest and talk, hence the conversation above.As expected, there are middlemen everywhere.Although Satoru was very wealthy now, it didn't mean he wanted to be a sucker."As the champion of this tournament, isn't there a discount?"Satoru asked, trying his luck; after all, the entry fee to the city had been waived for the champion."You... you are the champion of this tournament!"Sure enough, the agent was very surprised to hear this.Satoru smiled, "Then...""Then, I'm sorry, the rent for this villa is 200 gold coins a month."Satoru: "..."The smile froze on Satoru's face. Instead of a discount, it doubled, huh?The agent rubbed his hands together and said with a sycophantic smile."As the champion, you must have made a fortune this time. 200 gold coins is just pocket change for you."This guy was ripping him off to his face, and he actually had the nerve to say it.Satoru knew he had to swallow this bitter pill, but the guy would regret it to death later.But since there were people coming and going here, it wasn't the right time to make a move.Besides, this was a business transaction. The person made an offer, and whether to rent or not was up to him; there was nothing to be done about it.That was the rule.It's a pity that Satoru wasn't an ordinary person; he was a pirate. Why should he follow the rules?"Come here, look at this."Satoru held up the fools mask to the profiteer.The expression on the mask changed, and the agent froze on the spot, then began to weep while clutching his head.Satoru covered the face of the mask, and the illusion the man was trapped in vanished."Ah! Ah!!!""Hoo... hoo... I heard that the fools mask appeared at this tournament. That is a supreme treasure of hell! I didn't expect it to be in your hands.""That's not important. Let's talk about the rent again. Tell me, how much is the monthly rent for this villa?""..."Satoru stood, while the agent knelt.The agent was sweating profusely, the result of just coming out of the hallucination.Satoru, on the other hand, looked relaxed, smiling, and twirling the mask with his finger...."Clang!!"The door was pushed open by Satoru. The house before him was the place they would stay for a while.As for the rent, after a friendly conversation with Satoru, the agent was very happy to rent the house to Satoru for 66 gold coins a month."Hmm, it's clean enough.""Jason..."Satoru turned his head to look at Jason. At that moment, several skeletons suddenly emerged from the ground at the doorway, holding feather dusters and such.Satoru: "?""You guys, is there something you need?"He saw the lead skeleton pick up a sign, and words appeared on it."We cannot enter without an invitation.""We specialize in cleaning houses and helping to purchase furniture and supplies.""Are you interested?""Ten gold coins for the whole package."Satoru laughed. Was Davy Jones going crazy from poverty, or was he just obsessed with money?"Are you subordinates of Davy Jones?"Hearing Satoru address Davy Jones by his full name, the skeletons were so scared that their skulls almost flew off.Immediately, words appeared on the sign, "Yes, we are subordinates of Lord Death God."Satoru glanced at Jason. Why pay for something when you can get it for free?"Not needed.""Sorry for the wasted trip."Satoru maintained basic politeness, and the skeletons didn't insist, words appearing on the sign."Very well.""If you need us in the future, step on the ground at the doorway three times and silently say, 'I want to spend money,' and we will appear."After the words finished appearing on the sign, three seconds later, the skeletons sank into the ground and disappeared.
Chapter 714: I'm Actually a Little Scared Now"As the God of Death and the ruler of the entire Underworld, Davy Jones shouldn't be short on money. To try so hard to make money, he must really love wealth!"After the skeletons left, Satoru couldn't help but complain."What, don't you love money? White Kid.""Otherwise, would you have spent so long haggling with that guy at the door?"Whitebeard teased."That was being frugal. Even if I love money, I'm not as crazy as Davy Jones."Whitebeard didn't reply, so Jason took the opportunity to chime in."But, Brother Satoru, although it's clean, if we're going to live here, we should still tidy up a bit.""Hmm, you have a point."Satoru nodded, agreeing with Jason's words."So, who's going to clean?"Jason asked, and then received the gazes of Satoruand Whitebeard.Jason: "...""I'll go... I'll go..."Satoru nodded in satisfaction."Since you're being so proactive, start by cleaning the master bedroom.""Okay, I'm going now. Should I leave this treasure chest here?"Jason asked.Satoru stared at him, then suddenly reached out and pulled the swordfish out of his head."I heard from the city residents that physical damage can be repaired by purchasing Nether Energy at Davy Jones's shop on the street. Although it costs ten times more, take this money and go get yourself patched up.""As for this swordfish, keep it yourself. Whether you want to keep it as an ornament or... a weapon, it's up to you."Hearing this, Jason's eyes welled up with tears. He hadn't expected Satoru to be so kind to him."Brother Satoru..."Jason just wanted to give Satoru a hug.Satoru refused."Wait, don't misunderstand. I just don't want you dripping brain matter on the floor while you're cleaning."Jason: "...""Take the money and go. Is 100 gold coins enough to patch a hole in your head?""Take it and try it first."Regardless, Satoru was spending money to help him, so Jason was still moved, just not as moved as before... Jason left the house.Satoru gestured for Whitebeard to sit on the sofa and chat.The two sat down, facing each other. On the three-seater sofa, Whitebeard alone took up two and a half seats."It's a pity there's nothing to drink. How can we chat without something to drink?""Pops, after the house is cleaned, you can have the master bedroom.""I'm not just being polite; it's mainly because... you're quite big. Only the master bedroom won't feel cramped for you.""Gurararara, you brat, you dare to tease me now, don't you?"Whitebeard replied with a laugh.Satoru shrugged. "I'm just telling the truth.""Besides, after I leave, this house should be left in your charge, Pops.""I just don't know what the conditions for reincarnation are. We can't stay here forever, can we?""With so many people dying every day, this city wouldn't be able to fit them all.""That question...""Wait, wait, kid, hold on."Satoru was talking eloquently, but Whitebeardinterrupted him."You just said, after you leave?""I've felt something was off from the start, White Kid.""You died at such a young age, yet you don't seem to care at all.""I don't see any longing for your comrades either. I saw clearly during the war that you have deep bonds with them. It's impossible for you to have no reaction.""And now you're talking about leaving. Are you hiding something from me, brat?"Whitebeard cast a scrutinizing gaze, filled with pressure.Satoru knew it was time to tell Pops, especially since there was no one else around."I do have something I haven't told you, Pops.""First, it's not that I don't miss my comrades at all, but rather I know they are safe and growing in their own ways. There's no need to look sorrowful.""Secondly, Pops, you saw an afro skeleton among my comrades during the war, right?""An afro skeleton?""Yeah, there was someone like that. With his appearance, it's hard not to notice him."(At this moment, Brook, who was being watched while writing a score, sneezed.)"Yohohoho, who's missing me?""Is it my comrades? Wuwuwu, I miss you guys too!!""Hahaha, Pops, you're so mean.""But, it's also thanks to him.""He ate the Yomi Yomi no Mi and became like that after returning to life.""And my Devil Fruit Ability is to replicate the abilities of others."When Satoru said this, Whitebeard understood."So, you replicated his Devil Fruit Ability.""Even though you're dead, you can be resurrected?!"Satoru nodded, and then told him the full story of what happened after Whitebeard's death during the Marineford War.Whitebeard threw his head back and laughed upon hearing this."Gurararara!!!""No matter how smart Sengoku is, he'd never guess this!!""I really want to see the look on his face when he sees you resurrected. It'll definitely be spectacular!""Gurararara!!!""Yeah, I'm looking forward to it too."Satoru nodded, but the problem was..."But the current problem is, I have no clue how to resurrect myself.""Just like not knowing how to pass on."Whitebeard fell silent because he didn't know either. Even though he had sailed the seas for so long, this was his first time being dead.Satoru was in no hurry to resurrect."However, there's no need to worry for now. My promise with my comrades is for two years. As long as I can make it back within two years, it'll be fine.""Now that the house is rented, I expect I'll have to spend some time here in Hell.""I need a plan.""And that spider lily heart... I'm quite... curious about it."Whitebeard leaned back on the sofa. "This sofa isn't comfortable.""As long as you have a plan. I'm actually relying on you to have a place to stay."Satoru nodded."If the sofa is uncomfortable, let's change it. I'll leave that to Jason.""As for relying on me, Pops, you're Ace's pops, which makes you my pops too. No need to be polite.""However, I'll have to trouble you with my special training in Hell.""Gurararara, do you want me to take you as my disciple?""I'm already Old Smoker's disciple.""What, I can't compare to him?""It's not a matter of who's better. Even if he's become a beggar now, he's still my master."At this moment, on a certain sea, Beckman received a "magical attack" from his disciple."You... you're using this identity to make me help Aceand the others after I'm resurrected, right?""Don't worry, Ace is my brother. Regardless of this identity, I would help him if he needed it.""...""If only Ace were as smart as you.""Start your special training tomorrow! White Kid, this is Whitebeard's special training! You'd better be prepared.""When you put it that way, I'm actually a little scared now."
Chapter 715: Willing"Kid, is that all you've got?""The daughters on my ship have better physiques than you!"In a villa courtyard in the Hell City - Yathelaka.Satoru was doing push-ups with a huge rock on his back. After fifty, he knew he wouldn't be able to get up if he continued.But holding on was tiring too!Whitebeard sat to the side on a beast-skin chair. In the Underworld, as long as you paid, Davy Jonescould sell you whatever you wanted."Old Man, you don't know, I've been frail since childhood. My physique is only like this because I reflected the physiques and Armament Haki of martial arts masters like Old Man Garp.""Otherwise, I'd be even weaker."Satoru explained.Whitebeard still didn't believe him. "How weak?""It took a month for my legs to heal after I fell.""..."Whitebeard truly couldn't comprehend such weakness.There was no other way. His hands trembled continuously, and seeing that he was about to be crushed by the giant rock, Satoru immediately replicated Whitebeard's physique and instantly pushed the giant rock up."This is much more satisfying.""You kid, it's satisfying this way, but according to what you said, if your own physique can't hold up during that half-hour blank period in the daytime, wouldn't you be dead for sure?!"Whitebeard admonished him.Satoru also knew his physique wasn't up to par, which is why he planned to train in hell. Soul training would feedback into the body, so there was no need to worry."What about Observation Haki?""What about the level of Observation Haki you've mastered yourself?"Whitebeard asked.After all, to train Satoru, he had to properly understand Satoru's own situation."I'm not boasting, but I started out with guns, so among the three types of Haki, my Observation Haki is the best."This was Satoru's answer.Whitebeard raised an eyebrow. "Oh, so you have Haoshoku?""No."Satoru answered decisively."...""You said 'among the three types of Haki'!""That's right, among the three types of Haki, my Observation Haki is indeed the strongest, Armament Haki is in the middle, and I have no Haoshoku at all, so it can't be ranked last, can it?""..."Whitebeard now felt that compared to Satoru, who was so cunning, a little fool like Ace was much easier to get along with."Then have you ever unintentionally released Haoshoku?""Just like your Captain, that Straw Hat kid, during the Marineford War."Whitebeard asked. If so, it would prove that Satoruhad the potential of one in a million, and he could help him stimulate this Haoshoku."Ace and Luffy have.""Sabo, I don't know, we separated when we were kids.""Me, no.""It seems nothing has ever happened to make me excited enough."After all, Satoru was also a man with a script. To be excited enough to activate Haoshoku would have to be very unexpected for him, or perhaps, Satorusimply didn't have that potential."I see."Whitebeard was already thinking about whether he could help Satoru test that potential in hell."If you had Haoshoku, would you still be under Straw Hat?""After all, Conqueror's Haki is a symbol of a king. A king does not live under others."Hearing Whitebeard's question, Satoru smiled in return."Didn't Dark King Rayleigh, that old man, also have Conqueror's Haki, and still served as Pirate King Roger's first mate?"Whitebeard shook his head slightly."That's different, because Roger could suppress him!""So, Rayleigh willingly became the first mate.""As for you, never mind if you have Conqueror's Haki, even if you don't have it now, with your Devil Fruit Ability, Straw Hat Luffy can't suppress you.""Are you willing?"Listening to Whitebeard, Satoru recalled Luffy's silly grin and his words about wanting to be the Pirate King.Without needing to say much more, Satoru's answer was just one sentence."I am willing."Whitebeard was silent for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Gurararara, it seems the idea of having you help Ace is impossible.""Straw Hat Luffy? Roger's hat, the Will of D.""I look forward to the future you create.""Too bad I won't get to see it.""Alright, I generally understand your situation.""So..."Whitebeard already understood Satoru's situation, but just as the two words left his mouth, there was a commotion outside.Looking up, he could see Davy Jones's energy body floating in the air in the distance, seemingly fighting someone."Something's happening!! Brother Satoru!!"Jason returned from outside.Even though what he wanted to say was on the tip of his tongue, he first respectfully greeted Whitebeard."Good afternoon, Old Man Whitebeard.""Mm."Whitebeard nodded in return.Satoru shook his hands and asked, "Alright, what happened?"Jason nodded and immediately recounted what he knew."I heard residents say that for Davy Jones to personally take action, someone must have invaded hell!""Davy Jones is currently fighting the person who invaded hell."Jason was only with Satoru; otherwise, in this city, who would dare to call Davy Jones by his full name?"Oh~"Hearing this, Satoru became interested.Invading hell?This was quite similar to him; although he had to come to hell, he also plunged in headfirst.How to put it, this person also passed through the Ethereal Void Realm? Quite capable.Although he had only been in hell for two days, Satoru had inquired about everything he needed to know, including the Ethereal Void Realm. He knew that without the Vitality Energy left behind by the system, it would be difficult for him to leave the Ethereal Void Realm himself.But this person could break into the Underworld by himself; their strength was impressive.Just as he was thinking, Satoru heard a familiar voice, and his eyes instantly widened."No way."He looked up, and indeed, the one fighting Davy Jones had become... a dragon, a white dragon!"It really is you! Xiao Bai!!"Satoru couldn't believe that Xiao Bai had also come to the Underworld. The voice he had just heard was a dragon's roar, and Satoru was all too familiar with how many times Xiao Bai had emitted it using Satoru's body."Old Man, I'm going for a bit!"The newcomer was Xiao Bai; there was no reason for Satoru not to go.He said a word, and without waiting for Whitebeard's reply, he stepped into the air and flew off."Brother Satoru!"Jason called out.Whitebeard was unhurried. "Don't worry about him, and don't follow him. We'll wait for him here."Since Whitebeard said so, Jason understood his own strength and nodded, indicating he understood... above the entrance to Yathelaka.Yathelaka had a barrier; one had to pay to enter, or, of course, break the barrier.However, Xiao Bai hadn't had time to break the barrier before Davy Jones caught him red-handed, and the two began to fight.One wanted to break in, the other said no money, no entry. Moreover, the two had old grievances, so it would be strange if they didn't fight.
Chapter 716: Old GrudgesDeep sleep?I've had enough of sleeping!!Bastard Little Satoru, sacrificing yourself to go to Hell—how heroic of you. But doesn't that make everything I've done a waste of effort!!!Hell!Since I could come out from there, I can enter again!!!This was Xiao Bai's internal monologue after being sealed in the ice coffin along with Satoru.He was originally just a soul, residing within the body of the Little White Snake and Satoru's gate of consciousness to recover.Therefore, to go to Hell, he only needed to wait for the Gates of Hell to open wide before he could enter.However, for the Gates of Hell to open wide, there must be enough casualties. Only then would Davy Jones pilot the styx ferry boat, using gold and silver coins to open the passage so that the majority of departed souls could enter Hell.Davy Jones would only personally appear when there was a large-scale emergence of departed souls.Xiao Bai searched for a day in his soul form before finding a country where a war had broken out due to a revolution led by the Revolutionary Army. At the moment Davy Jones opened the passage, he plunged headfirst into Hell.Davy Jones was stunned.In this day and age, why are there still so many people actively plunging into Hell!!!He didn't know that, by even greater coincidence, he actually knew these two people.The consequence of plunging directly in was entering the Ethereal Void Realm.Davy Jones originally intended to ignore Xiao Bai, just as he had done with Satoru.But with Satoru's special case, and the fact that he seemed to sense a familiar energy from Xiao Bai, he turned around and gave chase.However, Xiao Bai was in the Ethereal Void Realmafter all, and Davy Jones wasn't foolish enough to plunge in himself. Although he had the styx ferry boat and finding the correct path through the Styx wasn't difficult, even as the God of Death, he detested that feeling in the Ethereal Void Realmwhere everything, including himself, felt ethereal and non-existent.(Underworld Trivia: After entering the Styx of Hell, the space outside the Styx for the distance between the Styx and the gates of Yathelaka belongs to the Ethereal Void Realm.)As a God, a God of Death, he hated this feeling that made him feel as if his existence had no meaning.However, after observing from the Styx for a while, just as Davy Jones was preparing to head back, he felt that familiar power emanating from the Ethereal Void Realm.This time it was released with great force; it would be hard for him not to remember.Since he became the God of Death...Only two people in total had ever escaped from Hell.One was Brook, fifty years ago, whose escape was due to a Devil Fruit Ability he couldn't block.The other was eight hundred years ago!! That damned White Dragon who had turned his Underworld into a complete mess!!!Sensing this familiar power...Davy Jones was in no mood to bother with those departed souls anymore. He didn't plunge into the Ethereal Void Realm directly, but instead returned at full speed to the gates of Yathelaka.This was a trust born from their clash eight hundred years ago; he trusted that Xiao Bai could emerge from the Ethereal Void Realm and come here. He only needed to wait for him here... 'This damned place!!!'Even Davy Jones hated the Ethereal Void Realm, let alone Xiao Bai.In the Ethereal Void Realm, Xiao Bai felt himself being pulled back and forth between the possibilities of getting lost and moving forward. If it weren't for having previously entered Satoru's gate of consciousness and being able to sense Satorunow, Xiao Bai really might not have been able to cross this place.Relying on his own will and that faint connection, Xiao Bai successfully broke through the Ethereal Void Realm and fell from the sky. Seeing this, he immediately shifted his form, turning into his human form and standing in mid-air.When emerging from the Ethereal Void Realm, one could come out anywhere—in the water, in the sky, at the finish line, or even back at the start.For instance, Satoru came out from the Styx, while Xiao Bai fell from the sky; this is the 'ethereal' nature of the Ethereal Void Realm.As for why both of them could accurately reach the end, it was because there was guidance.Satoru had the guidance of Vitality Energy, while Xiao Bai... had the guidance of Satoru... Emerging from the Ethereal Void Realm, even for an old monster like Xiao Bai who had lived for a long time, he needed time to steady his five senses.But just then, Davy Jones's voice rang out."Long time no see, I hope you've been well!!""Uranus."Xiao Bai opened his eyes, and what met his sight was the flying dutchman and Davy Jones's ghostly face.The flying dutchman was not the styx ferry boat; the styx ferry boat was just a row of small wooden skiffs tied beneath the flying dutchman."I am currently called... Xiao Bai."Xiao Bai replied, even if the name was a bit embarrassing."Huo-ha-ha-ha!!! Xiao Bai?""Have you turned into a dog? To take such a name?""It's been eight hundred years. Since you escaped, why have you come back?""You already took a piece of the spider lily heart! You also successfully returned to the world of the living and were resurrected!! What more do you want?!!"Davy Jones was furious. As a miser, how could he not be angry when his greatest treasure had been taken by someone?"As the ruler of Hell, you are the host. To remain polite, I indeed must inform you why I have come.""Then speak!""To find someone.""Find who?""That is inconvenient to disclose!""Bullshit!!""You are the host and I am the guest. Being so impolite won't do!""You don't have the damn right to be a guest!!"Davy Jones didn't give him an ounce of face.Seeing this, Xiao Bai also retracted his Smiling Face.The atmosphere between the two instantly became tense and hostile."I'll say it one more time: I'm here to find someone, not to fight. Are you really not going to let me in?"Xiao Bai said."Try me if you have the guts!!""The old grudges from eight hundred years ago!""They shall be settled today!!""Since you've come back, don't even think about leaving!!""I'm going to bury you in the Sea of Spider Liliesuntil a spider lily heart grows out of you!!!"As soon as he finished speaking, Davy Jonesactivated his energy body and launched an attack at Xiao Bai.This was the Underworld; unlike in the human world where he couldn't leave the flying dutchman, in the Underworld, he could move around freely.Combined with his Skeleton Parrot, the two attacked from both sides. This time, Davy was determined to take Xiao Bai down!But Xiao Bai was clearly no pushover either; after all, in Satoru's words, he was an old monster who had lived for many years.Facing the pincer attack from Davy Jones and the parrot...Xiao Bai was the first to act, leaping onto the parrot's back and using wooden vines as a rope to bind the parrot's beak.Facing Davy Jones's strike, he pulled the rope to make the parrot fly to the left to dodge the attack.Then, lightning crackled from his fingertips as he struck out at Davy Jones.Davy Jones didn't dodge at all. A coin appeared in his hand, rolling between his fingertips. As the lightning struck, it was absorbed into a spatial rift. Immediately, another spatial rift appeared above Xiao Bai's head, and the lightning shot back down out of it, aiming straight for Xiao Bai.Xiao Bai immediately jumped off the parrot, but the parrot took the full force of the lightning strike.Stopped🔊 BrowserCh. 718 / 210534.11%Ch. 718 / 210534.11%ReadDisplaySpeechSettingsMoreIntroAbout UsContact UsChangelogDMCACookie PolicyPrivacy PolicyTerms of UseStatsCopyright © 2022 - wtr-lab.comv1.13.4
