Chapter 732: Killing Intent Soars to the Heavens
Chapter 732: Killing Intent Soars to the Heavens
Yokai Blade and Famous Blade aren't mutually exclusive. The Wado Ichimonji series is itself a Yokai Blade, occupying both the Great Quick Blade and Supreme Great Quick Blade rankings.
Sanbei Onimaru (part of the Wado Ichimonji series) doesn't belong to the eighty-three famous blades—it's merely a Yokai Blade.
A Yokai Blade is notoriously difficult to control. Its power often backfires against its master.
Take Sanbei Onimaru, for instance. Though incredibly sharp and lightweight, wielding it requires precise force. A single misstep could lead to losing control, resulting in fatal errors.
The blade 'Yamato' also falls into this category. It actively absorbs its wielder's Haki. Besides control, one must possess abundant Haki to handle it. If insufficient, once the Haki is drained, the blade will start siphoning the user's very life force.
This particular Yokai Blade operates under the same principle.
The moment Kuro gripped its hilt, an inexplicable, eerie sensation surged through his chest.
"Blood! Blood!!"
"Kill! Kill!!"
"More blood! Kill more!!"
A voice seemed to echo inside his skull.
In an instant, Kuro froze, paralyzed by the blade's malevolent whispers.
Chuan Zang stepped back, his face alight with joy. A warrior ensnared by slaughter's hunger would act recklessly, attacking indiscriminately. Once Kuro exhausted his strength, Chuan Zang could finish him off. For now, avoidance was key.
No one could tame this blade. Chuan Zang himself had spent years battling it, his body reduced to a shadow of its former self.
This was no ordinary weapon.
He cackled, "Fool! Drown in your own slaughter madness! I spent years failing to control this blade—what makes you think you can—"
Boom!!
Before the word "you" could escape his lips, a blood-red aura erupted like a tidal wave, solidifying into a visible crimson torrent.
If Chuan Zang's earlier Killing Intent had been a mere trickle, Kuro's now surged like a Grand Line tsunami, engulfing the surroundings in a blood-curdling deluge.
The nearby Navy soldiers rolled their eyes back and collapsed, unconscious.
A surge of blood Qi spread through Gold City, cloaking the entire area in swirling crimson light that seemed to pierce the heavens.
"This is..."
Across the Commercial District, Kaku instinctively turned his head toward the red glow piercing the sky, shivering involuntarily.
"You've got to be kidding me! How is this possible? Is this Kuro? Could Kuro really possess such overwhelming Killing Intent?!"
...
Meanwhile, at the gate between the Commercial District and the Vip Area, Zoro instinctively unsheathed his Kinpura, gripping the hilt tightly as he stared at the heavens-spanning crimson light.
"Killing Intent... Kuro's? But why is it this strong?!"
...
Elsewhere, Lida—who had been investigating nearby—turned abruptly, his gaze fixed on the source of the rampant Killing Intent.
"Is Kuro angry? But this Killing Intent... it's different from anything I've seen before!"
His prior Killing Intent had been fierce, but nothing compared to this earth-shattering force. Even when Charlotte Big Mom's assassins had attacked, Kuro had never radiated such power.
Had something truly intolerable provoked him into this rage?
Thump Thump!!
The Navy soldiers beside her collapsed instantly, their eyes rolling back despite the distance.
Klah instinctively transformed into a five-meter-tall werewolf, crouching low on all fours. Even so, his massive frame trembled violently, sweat pouring from his fur-soaked body.
"This Killing Intent... it's monstrous!"
...
Within the Vip Area, Tezoro lounged in a bath, facing a figure entering the room wearing a half-iron mask.
"Hey, this Sky Gold operation is now under CP's jurisdiction, primarily me—Spandam!" The masked figure laughed smugly, hands on hips.
"Appreciate the effort", Tezoro replied calmly, resting his arms on the bath's edge. "But there's an issue. The World Government's lapdogs are yapping in my territory. Are they finally declaring war on me?"
"Absolutely not!" Spandam waved his hands frantically. "You're recognized as a neutral zone by the World Government! No one would dare target you!"
"Yet here we are."
Tezoro snapped his fingers. A giant-headed doll burst from the floor. Tanaka, holding a suitcase, grinned at Spandam.
"A small token. But please rein in your dogs. That Golden Lion is causing trouble in my territory."
The suitcase opened, revealing a mountain of Beri coins.
Spandam took the case, nodding gravely. "Rest assured, any Navy will obey our commands. Those who refuse will—"
Before he could finish, his body stiffened. The suitcase slipped from his grip, spilling paper money everywhere. Spandam crumpled to the floor, clutching his head, trembling uncontrollably.
"What the hell is this?!"
Tanaka nearby wasn't faring better. He hugged himself, his breath ragged, gasping as if suffocating.
Tezoro's expression darkened. With a splash, he rose from the bath, staring in disbelief at the distant red glow.
Even his body... trembled.
...
Outside the Vip Area.
"This Killing Intent..."
From a high-rise, Apu gazed at the crimson light devouring the Commercial District, its intensity resembling a bloodstorm in one sector.
"Solidified to the point of being visible to the naked eye! Did Chuan Zang activate that Yokai Blade? But does he even wield enough Killing Intent for this?"
"Heh heh, truly impressive", sneered Sig, his long jaw twitching as he stroked his goatee. "But with that Killing Intent, Chuan Zang won't survive. I've heard about that blade—it's dangerous. To force him into using it... who did he go after? Golden Lion? Momousagi?"
"Let's find out!"
A man in coarse hemp robes kicked through a window, shattering the glass as he leapt into the neon-lit night of Gold City.
"Giruon's impatient", Apu chuckled. "Let's see. Whether he faces Golden Lion, Momousagi, or Tatsumaki—first blood is all we need."
...
"This Killing Intent... this Killing Intent..."
Chuan Zang stared at the air currents surging like ocean waves, his body quaking unnaturally.
This wasn't his doing—it was his body's primal instinct screaming in terror.
"How can his Killing Intent be this horrifying?!"
Chuan Zang roared at the blade-wielding Kuro, "How many people have you killed to reach this?!"
At the crimson core, Kuro's eyes flickered with a wisp of blood-red light before it vanished.
He swung the long blade, tilting his head to examine it.
"I see... so this is how it works."
His voice remained eerily rational.
Chuan Zang's fear deepened.
He hadn't been consumed?!
