Chapter 207 Slaughtering the Land of Wano
On that battlefield filled with blood and smoke, Minos walked steadily, his posture as upright as a pine tree, slowly approaching Kaido's side.
His eyes were calm and deep, as if nothing in the world could stir his heart.
At this moment, Kaido had transformed back into his human form from his imposing beast form.
His face was blurred and indistinct, as if shrouded in a mist. His body was covered with countless wounds, and blood gushed out like a fountain, staining the ground beneath him crimson. The horrifying scene was like a tragic painting.
Kaido's right hand, which had been wielding his spiked club, was now completely destroyed by the terrifyingly powerful explosive energy. His severed arm was a bloody mess, with bone fragments scattered all over the ground, and the air was filled with a nauseating stench of blood.
Minos looked down at the heavily wounded and dying Kaido, his expression remaining calm and composed.
In his view, all of this was like a predetermined fate from the very beginning, and there was nothing surprising about it.
Before his powerful, almost invincible, mid-level King-level combat strength, everything before them was nothing but fleeting smoke, insignificant.
However, what stirred a ripple in Minos's heart was that Kaido, as a Mythical Zoan user, still stubbornly retained a faint trace of life force despite suffering such a severe injury.
This made Minos frown slightly, and he sighed softly, "Indeed, the vitality of mythical beasts is truly powerful..."
The sound was soft, yet it could be clearly heard on the deathly silent battlefield.
Just as Minos was pondering to himself, Kaido's eyes, which had been tightly closed, slowly opened.
However, those eyes were filled with gloom and loss, as if they had lost all their light, like a stagnant pool.
He seemed to already know that he was about to face his demise, yet he was unwilling to accept it.
Minos watched Kaido awaken, a slight, mocking smile playing on his lips. He then said, "Kaido, I didn't expect you to actually wake up. It's quite unbelievable."
His tone carried a hint of mockery, as if he were enjoying a farce that was about to end.
At this moment, Kaido had managed to wake up with difficulty, but blood kept gushing from his mouth like a burst dam.
His throat was blocked with blood, and every breath was accompanied by violent coughing and painful gasping; he was clearly unable to speak a complete sentence.
However, even in such a desperate situation, Kaido's eyes still revealed a kind of determination and persistence.
After a while, during that long and agonizing wait, just as Minos began to grow impatient and a hint of irritation showed in his eyes.
Kaido finally mustered all his strength and squeezed out a utterly humble sentence from his blood-soaked mouth: "Minos, can you please spare Yamato? She's just a child..."
The voice was as faint as a candle flickering in the wind, yet it was filled with a father's deep love and concern for his daughter.
Minos was surprised to hear that Kaido was still pleading for Yamato even on his deathbed.
In his memory, Yamato in the original work seemed to always be against Kaido, ignoring Kaido's orders, and even when Luffy was fighting Kaido, Yamato joined the battle against Kaido without hesitation.
Minos simply couldn't understand why Kaido was still so persistent in pleading for Yamato's life in his final moments.
But Minos knew in his heart that Yamato and Kaido had to die.
Only their abilities could bring the legendary Destroyer Dragon Emperor and Fang King to the world.
This is a game of chess that concerns the fate of the entire world, and Kaido and Yamato are merely two pieces in it.
Thinking of this, Minos's gaze instantly turned extremely cold, as if it could freeze the surrounding air. He calmly said, "Kaido, I cannot grant you this request."
After a pause, Minos slowly added, "However, you don't need to worry. People from all over the world will go down to keep you company, so you don't have to feel lonely."
His words were filled with endless coldness and ruthlessness, as if the whole world was nothing more than ants in his eyes.
After Minos finished speaking, he keenly noticed that Kaido's pupils suddenly contracted, and his originally dim eyes widened instantly, as if he had been deeply stung by Minos's words.
Kaido seemed to be completely crushed by this cruel reality, and his body began to tremble violently.
This moment of excitement completely exhausted his last bit of life force. His eyes slowly closed, his head drooped weakly to one side, and he completely lost consciousness.
Minos glanced at Kaido indifferently, his expression remaining calm and unmoved.
It was as if the person who had died before him was nothing more than an insignificant stranger. Just then, Cheng Xiaoyu walked briskly to Minos's side.
His clothes were spotless, without a single wrinkle, as if he had just taken a leisurely stroll rather than a fierce battle.
Minos looked at Cheng Xiaoyu, who was dressed neatly, and a faint smile appeared on his face. He said, "It seems that you resolved the battle there very easily?"
His voice carried a hint of mockery, seemingly full of confidence in Cheng Xiaoyu's abilities.
Cheng Xiaoyu first glanced at Kaido lying next to Minos, his eyes filled with disdain and indifference.
Then, he turned his gaze to Minos and said calmly, "I used my full strength from the beginning, so Charlotte Linlin naturally couldn't withstand my attack."
His tone was full of confidence and pride, as if defeating Charlotte Linlin was an easy task.
"After just one fight, I took care of her," he added, his tone casual, as if he were recounting something utterly mundane.
Before Minos could say anything, Cheng Xiaoyu continued calmly, "Moreover, the other battlefields are almost over."
His gaze was fixed on the distant battlefield, still shrouded in smoke, and his eyes revealed a hint of relief and satisfaction.
Upon hearing Cheng Xiaoyu's words, Minos smiled with satisfaction and said with a faint laugh, "With several king-level combatants and peak emperor-level combatants, victory is inevitable."
Minos slightly raised his head, gazing at the sky as if looking down upon the entire world. "Although the will of the pirate world has ushered in an era of universal cultivation, it has not solved the fundamental problem."
Minos's tone carried a hint of mockery and disdain, as if he were laughing at the world's powerlessness and struggle. "And Kaido's side only has a few more near-admiral level fighters and some vice admiral level fighters, so naturally they're not very useful."
Minos paused, then said coldly, "For them, death is their only destination."
Upon hearing Minos's words, Cheng Xiaoyu nodded in agreement.
Indeed, although Kaido and his crew were numerous, surging across the battlefield like a tidal wave, their strength varied greatly. They were utterly helpless against the attacks of several King-level Shadow Soldiers and several puppets at the peak of Emperor-level combat power.
With the ghostly army of shadows sweeping across the battlefield, the pirates were like ants in their eyes, their lives easily reaped.
Just then, Puppet Number One, with heavy steps, carried a figure to Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu's side.
Minos and Cheng Xiaoyu's gazes fell simultaneously on the figure in Puppet Number One's hand, and instantly, the corners of their mouths turned up slightly, revealing a satisfied smile.
Because the figure in Puppet Number One's hand is none other than Kaido's daughter, "Yamato".
At this moment, Yamato's face was as pale as paper, and her breath was so weak that it was almost imperceptible. She was hanging on the hand of Puppet Number One, barely clinging to life, as if a gentle breeze could extinguish her.
"Now, the most important vessel for the Dragon Emperor and Fang is ready. It's up to you now." Cheng Xiaoyu smiled gently at Minos, his smile filled with anticipation and excitement.
Minos looked at Yamato, who was on the verge of death, in the hands of Puppet Number One, and said calmly, "Let's deal with this after we've completely eliminated everyone and returned to the island of Serbia!"
His gaze drifted to the war-torn land of Wano in the distance, a hint of caution in his eyes.
"After all, Wano Country is currently attracting a lot of attention. If they discover us, it would be a huge loss."
Seeing that Minos already had a plan, Cheng Xiaoyu said no more. Instead, he turned his attention to the rest of the battlefield.
The battlefield was deathly silent, littered with mountains of corpses and filled with a suffocating stench of blood.
The flames of war continued to rage, and smoke filled the sky, turning the once azure expanse a dark gray. Led by king-level shadow soldiers, the Shadow Army, like a pack of hungry wolves, frantically slaughtered the remaining pirates on the battlefield.
The shouts of killing, screams of agony, and wails mingled together, like a tragic song from hell.
Time slowly passed on this brutal battlefield, each second feeling incredibly long.
Three days passed, and the great battle with Kaido and his crew finally came to a complete end.
In reality, it was less of a major battle and more of a wanton massacre of the entire Wano Country by Minos and his men.
The former prosperity and bustle of Wano Country has now been completely destroyed, reduced to ruins.
The once bustling town is now nothing but ruins; the once joyful streets are now littered with blood and corpses. The entire Wano Country is plunged into endless darkness and despair.
Minos and the others stood on the ruins, looking at the devastation before them, without a trace of pity or remorse.
In their eyes, all of this is merely a necessary means to achieve their goals.
Their gazes were fixed on the distance, as if they could already see the world after the arrival of the Destruction King Dragon Emperor and the Fang King—a world ruled by them, a world filled with fear and despair…
