Chapter 690: Fight, Aibo!
Chapter 690: Fight, Aibo!
White hair like flames, blazing fiercely, casting half the sky into shadow, the wind howling, and a torrential rain pouring down.
Outside the breach, people were fighting, but inside, not a single Worldslider Pirate stood beside Sagel. Instead, he was surrounded by enemies, each a fearsome warrior, gripping their weapons tightly. Yet, they remained motionless, enduring the storm that battered them.
Step.
In this stillness, Sagel took a step forward, making a sound.
With just that step, the surrounding enemies all swallowed hard, unconsciously stepping back.
For every step Sagel took forward, they retreated, the large breach he had created remaining unchanged, like a forbidden zone no one dared to cross.
They only hoped to stay away from this designated blank area, lest they draw the attention of the most powerful and notorious Pirate.
But sometimes, even ants that try to avoid being stepped on are crushed unintentionally.
Let alone when the step is intentional.
Sagel took another step, not attacking, but merely glaring at the surrounding people.
His eyes glowed with a crimson light.
Bang!!
With just one glance, all those who faced Sagel exploded, their heads bursting as if they had set off fireworks to welcome his arrival. The only difference was that the fireworks were blood-red.
Bang!
Bang Bang Bang!!
The explosions continued, from front to back, from left to right. Many faced Sagel, each of them clutching their throats, unable to breathe, and twisting the 'firework' switches with their hands, causing their heads to explode, blooming with blood.
After a series of explosions, someone finally reacted, shouting, "Don't look at him!!"
"Whatever you do, don't look up, this guy is a devil!!"
This had transcended the realm of 'human.' Impel Down had its share of strong prisoners, some of whom had once faced powerful opponents and lost. But no matter what kind of existence they faced, Sagel had surpassed their imagination.
Their Haki could resist Sagel's gaze, but the more they resisted, the more they feared.
For just by looking straight at him, they felt a searing pain in their heads. If not for their Haki, they would have met the same fate as those who exploded.
Was this a human's ability?
Even in Impel Down, they could hear some news, especially the stronger ones.
Worldslider Sagel, ever since entering the Grand Line, had always been a Logia fruit user, the 'Worldbreaker' ability, which did not have the power to make people explode with a glance.
But it had just happened!
Just a look, and they couldn't stop it, only barely resist.
Was the gap really that big?
"Not looking at me? Heh heh heh, what good does that do? As long as I want..."
Sagel surveyed the people around him, who had lowered their heads like prey facing a predator, and sneered, "Killing you is so easy!"
The crimson light in his eyes grew even more intense.
Pressure!
Bang Bang Bang!!
This time, those who had resisted were also blown apart, their heads exploding as they fell to the ground, their lives sacrificed to create a beautiful spectacle of fireworks.
The breach around Sagel grew larger, and those farther away couldn't even lower their heads, kneeling and trembling under the pressure.
All that remained was fear of death and panic at the unknown power, and a sense of helplessness.
Outside the breach, only a few scattered people could still kneel, while more lay as headless corpses.
The Evil Eye of Satan II, one of the Five Elders, was a technique Sagel knew.
Being of the Same Family, he didn't have this ability, but he could easily use it with Ougon.
How simple, no need for a resistance check. This wasn't an ability; it could be resisted with enough Haki, at most causing a headache.
This was pure Ougon. Resisting it was fine, but he could always increase the pressure.
Ougon intimidation?
That 'mercy' wasn't for these guys.
Besides...
"Oh? Some of you are decent, but ultimately, you are the ones who failed to pass Tee's first selection. Kneeling here now, don't think you can escape."
Sagel raised a hand to the sky, "In the end, the path you chose is your own. Whether you've heard of my reputation or not, in this battlefield, where greed drives you to rule the world, you must pay the price. If you're not willing to pay with your life, you can't achieve your will."
The clouds in the sky grew darker, pressing down on everyone, making it hard to breathe. The sky, which should have been bright, had turned pitch-black, more oppressive than the darkest night.
"I am a kind person, so I let you achieve your will, using your desires and lives to leave a legacy on the seas. So that others won't say we Pirates are all cowards and greedy beings. Heaven be full!"
Rumble!
Lightning flashed through the dark clouds, striking the G1 fortress.
But it only lasted for a moment. The sky and the fortress fell silent, with no sound at all.
The people kneeling, facing Sagel, whose hair glowed in the darkness, felt like sinners awaiting divine judgment.
Snap.
Sagel's snap sounded very out of place in the silence.
"Great Sovereign of the Heavens."
The voice was soft, but to the ears of those around him, it was like a divine judgment.
The sky was enveloped in Thunderlight, and the lightning descended like pillars, transforming into massive bolts that spread out from Sagel, covering the entire fortress.
Rumble!!
The lightning blinded everyone.
Full-screen Aoe!!
Too many people?
Using Ougon was already a sign of weakness.
To truly deal with a crowd, one needed the most primitive force, shattering their will to fight, turning them into cowards who dared not face him!
The blinding lightning gradually weakened, and the headless corpses on the ground carbonized, turning black. The wind blew, and the charred bodies crumbled into ashes.
A large area around Sagel was cleared.
But some had resisted the lightning's power and were only injured. After all, Impel Down held not only ordinary Pirates captured by the Navy, but also dangerous criminals who required multiple warships and Admirals to capture.
These people maintained their defensive stances, barely resisting Sagel's attack. Once they finished defending, they fled, running to the edge of the fortress.
"Run!"
"We can't fight, we're no match, no, it's not even a question of whether we can fight. We can't even face him! He's a monster, a devil! Run, or you'll die!"
The Pirates fled in panic, completely losing their will to fight.
When facing a strong opponent, if someone doesn't think of running but wants to continue fighting, even to the death, it means the opponent isn't strong enough, not overwhelmingly powerful, so there's still hope.
But when facing an opponent, if one lacks the courage to even move, that's true strength.
And if one can't even summon the courage to run, that's transcending the limits.
Sagel was now in the latter category because...
"I said you can't escape."
Sagel smiled, glancing at the sea, and said meaningfully, "I dove into the sea just now."
Some quick-acting Pirates reached the edge of the fortress, boarded ships, and set sail, even using large oars to propel the ships away, trying to escape.
But as soon as the ships entered the sea, the water began to churn violently.
Splash!
Boom!!
Suddenly, a mouth rose from the sea, biting the ship to pieces and swallowing it and its crew.
It was a Hydrozoan, a crocodile-shaped Hydrozoan with a mouth as wide as five warships. After swallowing the ship, it lay on the surface, its red eyes staring at the people at the edge of the fortress, chilling their hearts.
The sea around the fortress was filled with shadows, the bodies of Hydrozoans visible as the water churned.
Hydrozoans!
All Hydrozoans!
The fortress was surrounded by Hydrozoans!
"Misfortune has other uses. If I transcend Misfortune, I can use it as a double-edged sword."
Sagel bared his teeth, "Only the victorious captain can leave from here. The rest will be food for the Hydrozoans!"
When faced with the water Tee had displaced, he had nine ways to deal with it!
At least nine!
Why transform into Libero and dive into the sea? To create an inescapable no-man's land!
The agitated Hydrozoans he had attracted were now circling the sea. If not for the Ougon he was emitting, they would have stormed the fortress and destroyed everything.
This was part of his plan!
No one could escape!
Not even his own subordinates.
He and Tee could only have one survivor, relying on Ougon and sheer strength to break through the Hydrozoans and lead the remaining victors to safety.
If both of them died, only a few could escape.
Sagel thought simply: if he died, Ohara would fall apart.
But Lily would stop it from happening. However, her strength wasn't enough to protect everything. Trying to preserve everything would mean she couldn't protect herself.
Instead of letting Lily struggle to defend his legacy and then be defeated by various forces, it was better to collapse everything. This way, Lily, facing the loss of her elite, could only claim what she could, and rely on the remaining forces to secure a foothold on the seas.
In the end, the situation would unfold with her rising as a new 'Emperor,' while Sagel would gradually be ostracized and erased from the world's memory.
If Tee died, his subordinates couldn't escape either. Even if Sagel didn't have time to finish them off, the Hydrozoans would ensure they all perished in the sea.
Van Auga?
His fruit ability had limits. There were no footholds around the G1 fortress.
Or rather, on his way here, all possible footholds, like reefs and lone coconut islands, had been destroyed.
Teleporting would still result in death.
"The only survivors will be the complete side."
Sagel muttered, looking in a specific direction, "You think the same, Tee."
His view was unobstructed. All those in his path were either ashes or had fled to their deaths.
Only in the front, a man in a king's outfit, but with an open collar and a rough, hairy chest, stood with a slight bow.
"Ha ha ha..."
Tee slowly lifted his head, revealing a mouth with missing teeth, and laughed softly, "That's right, Sagel. Choosing this place was to settle the score. Sorry, I said we'd fight when the world was completely divided, but I realized that day would never come. You've blocked my path, so I had to do this!"
As he spoke, he walked forward, one hand glowing white, the other emitting black smoke, "Although, it's not far from my original plan. I thought my enemy would be the Straw Hat, after all, he's the 'Sun God.' Fighting you is tough."
Sagel watched Tee approach, glancing at the crooked crown on his head, and scoffed, "That doesn't suit you. A rough Pirate outfit is more fitting. You're not cut out for ruling, Tee."
"Don't interpret me with your idea of ruling."
Tee smiled, "Ruling the seas should be like me. You're the odd one out, Sagel. Sometimes, I wish you would join me, become my true Aibo!"
He extended his hand, "Last chance, Sagel! Don't you want to join me? With our plan, once we succeed, the world will be ours! You can do business, you can rule, it's all possible. I can give you half the world, no, even all of it, as long as you're under me. Acknowledge my rule, swear loyalty to me, and I'll recognize your power, stand by you!"
"Killing you, everything is mine!" Sagel sneered.
"Ha ha ha, that's a shame! After defeating you, I'll tell you how I rule the world at your grave. After all, our cooperation was always good before the split!"
Tee pushed his hands forward, clenching them into fists, the white light and darkness merging into chaos, and slammed them forward.
"Then, fight, Aibo!!"
