Chapter 374 Woo woo woo woo woo!
Today it is today.
Roy already had a clear understanding of almost all the secrets of this world.
This also includes the "Flower Room" that he had glimpsed briefly in Doflamingo's memories back then, a sight he had seen through his memories.
He realized then that Im was probably in a state of constraint on a daily basis, and that even leaving Mary Geoise would be very difficult for him.
But only among the flowers did he seem to still be at his peak.
The one who was the World King who "did not strengthen the restraints on his body like Queen Lily and Rocks".
But now, he can roughly understand it.
Both he and Im have mastered all the ways to use the bloodline factor source energy, the only difference being the amount of bloodline factor source energy and the progress of collecting the corresponding "wishes".
"Im, as the shadow of the Pillar of Creation, the abyss of the world, contains the wishes of the people of the world in ancient times, and must contain everything in the world."
The only drawback of Sleeve at present is that, due to the efforts of Queen Lily, Rocks, and Joy Boy and others generation after generation, his bloodline factor energy has been restricted, making it insufficient.
But the situation is different when you're surrounded by flowers.
Because that ancient pillar of creation, the source of all bloodline factors and energy in the world, is located within the flower garden.
Therefore, as long as he is among the flowers, Im can maintain his state as a true deity, and is almost unrestrained.
The same applies when you are in Mary Geoise—although not as close as among the flowers, Mary Geoise is clearly close enough to the Pillars of Creation.
In addition, the farther away from Mary Geoise, the weaker His power naturally becomes.
In contrast to Im, Roy is different.
First, he is inferior to Im in his prime in both "bloodline factor energy" and "wishes".
However, after absorbing the bloodline factor energy of the Treasure Tree Adam and the Sun Tree Eve, his current bloodline factor energy is more than enough for him. Although it is still not as good as the Pillars of Creation, at least he is not so restricted.
As for desires, the power of desire contained within "Adam, the Seed of Heaven" and "Eve, the Seed of the Sea" allows him to create the sky and the sea, as well as related things, within a certain range.
This is also the origin of the "Garden of Stars" and its twelve trials - its essence is actually a sky and sea created by Roy himself, plus the "Ester" which is almost comparable to a continent as its carrier.
Within that world created by Roy himself, all the bloodline factors and energy sources within it were at Roy's disposal.
So, as he said, the Esther is his "flower garden," his divine kingdom.
Moreover, the most crucial difference between the two is that "a single flower" is always there and cannot be moved.
The Roy Esther, on the other hand, can go anywhere on the sea.
This is also why Roy has been acting almost recklessly lately—as long as he doesn't sail towards Mary Geoise, he can go anywhere on the open sea.
No one could be considered an enemy to him.
Even the Four Emperors who dominate the seas below.
"boom!"
"boom!"
At this moment, Kaido was frantically opening his mouth and spewing hot breath at the Esther above.
But it was clear that even the heat breath that could normally pierce through a mountain was no match for the Esther falling from the sky—it was clearly not even an attack.
The colossal ship, radiating starlight, seemed like the merciless and emotionless hand of a god, simply pressing down.
then...
"No! Those government guys..."
Kaido's beast-like vertical pupils suddenly shrank, and he frantically urged the mark on his left arm to fight even more fiercely: "You said you would wage a full-scale war against the Twelve Constellations, so why are you...?"
However, the mark did not respond.
Kaido could even feel that the power belonging to this mark within him was still fading.
"roar!"
So all he could do was open his mouth and let out a furious growl.
He has realized that he made a mistake.
In fact, after the Dressrosa incident, Kaido realized that everything was starting to get out of control.
His three most capable lieutenants all died in that battle.
The creator of the artificial Devil Fruit he had always dreamed of, Caesar, was also dead.
His former collaborator, Doflamingo JOKER, betrayed him and also died.
Afterwards, the crucial Hanafuda card, which facilitated his arms cooperation with the World Government, lost its meaning due to the abolition of the Seven Warlords system.
The war he longed for, the massive war that would drag the entire world into it, seemed to have become an unattainable dream amidst these successive blows.
Kaido, however, has never been a patient person.
He was able to patiently wait in Wano Country for so many years, but he couldn't accept waiting for so many more years.
The title of "Four Emperors," which seems to dominate the seas and inspire fear in the world, is utterly boring to Kaido.
It was under those circumstances that the person sent by the World Government approached him.
Kaido had vaguely heard of the other party's identity—the twin brother of "that red-haired man," Shamrock.
He demonstrated his power to Kaido, as well as the demands of the World Government.
"We will help you dominate the seas, dragging them into war, slaughter, and bloodshed. Everything you desire can be achieved, even the Celestial Dragons will be drawn into the conflict."
"That lord will grant you the power to start a war, a sufficient supply of Devil Fruits, and special weapons. All we need from you is one thing... to drag the twelve constellations into the war and destroy them."
For Kaido, these demands were clearly not a problem.
The Twelve Constellations were one of the instigators of the Dressrosa incident and were one of his indispensable "enemies" in the war.
As for whether cooperating with the World Government as a pirate is appropriate, he doesn't care either—after all, once the war starts, the whole world will just be part of the war, and there will no longer be a distinction between "pirates" and "navies".
But now, he has realized that mistake.
That is—the power of the twelve constellations, which had already exceeded his comprehension long before he knew it.
That organization is not any force that has ever appeared on this sea, and it is completely different from that ancient kingdom that has disappeared.
It is something that, in the truest sense, can threaten the world.
"Was this all along, that I was sent to attack Totland...?"
The government's decision to order him to attack Totland may well have been because they had already guessed the connection between Totland and the twelve constellations.
From the very beginning, he was not the player in this game of war as he thought—even he was just a pawn.
"Well done, you government scum!"
But upon realizing this, Kaido grinned.
He no longer attempts to contact the World Government, nor to mobilize the power within the Covenant.
He simply raised his head and looked up at the giant ship that had crashed down upon him.
run away?
He can't escape, and he won't escape.
"bake!"
Flames surged forth from his dragon mouth.
His dragon scales stood upside down.
His body was enveloped in a domineering aura of black and red.
Then, he actually flew towards the enormous ship that was incredibly large compared to his own body!
"Woo-lo-lo-lo!"
A unique, hearty laugh echoed across the entire sea.
Alliances are part of war.
Betrayal and exploitation are also part of war.
Therefore, correspondingly...
Defeat is also part of war.
Kaido, on the other hand, loves war.
Therefore, he will not run away from his defeat, but will face it head-on without flinching.
He was somewhat excited, but also somewhat regretful.
The exciting part is that he has now made up his mind.
Although it was not caused by him, nor was it started by him.
But before he even realized it...
"The greatest war, the one that will drag the entire world into conflict," has begun!
And that is precisely what he regrets.
He knew the war had already begun, but he had no chance to participate.
"Who will ultimately win? Who will become the new king of this world? And what will be the final outcome?"
With a roar, the dragon's flaming body crashed into the bottom of the massive ship.
"Buzz!"
The starlight surged, extinguishing the flames on its body.
"I'm really... looking forward to it."
And so, the dragon and the ship crashed into the sea and never came back to life.
Meanwhile...
"Buzz!"
Beneath the hull of the Esther, the dark abyssal power began to be continuously devoured and assimilated by the starlight emanating from the Esther.
[Absorbing Bloodline Factor Source Energy - Abyss]
Upon seeing the information from the Encyclopedia of Fruits in the Eyes, Wei Yang's gaze became somewhat subtle.
He certainly knew where the bloodline factor energy he had just obtained came from—one of which was the bloodline factor energy within the "Abyss Contract" on Kaido's body.
Just like before when it devoured the bloodline factor source energy within Satan's body.
The Esther also possesses the power of the "Drum of Liberation," coupled with sufficient bloodline factor energy and the "wishes" that the world has recently granted to the Esther, naturally enabling it to intercept Kaido's "Sea Contract."
But that's precisely the problem...
"Im...isn't this a gift?"
He couldn't quite understand it.
Given the precedent set by Satan, Im must already know that he can kill the holder of the Abyss Contract.
Even under these circumstances, it seems that the King of the World did not make any preparations before Kaido attacked Totto Land.
"Is he unaware of the connection between Totto Land and the two star signs? Or was the attack on Totto Land purely Kaido's own idea?"
Wei Yang couldn't be sure, but he felt something was off.
After all, as far as he knew, for Im, the bloodline factor energy of a "Sea of Abyss Contract" was not a pawn that could be discarded at will.
and...
"The key issue isn't just Kaido..."
He muttered to himself as he gazed into the distance.
That's the direction of Wano Country, Onigashima.
"The situation there was quite unexpected."
Ghost Island.
The sound of clashing swords filled the air, and the flames of war had spread to every corner of the island.
The undying flames ignited by decades of suppressed anger burned fiercely within every Wano Country warrior, allowing them to roar and wield their swords even after the battle had raged for so long.
"Black Maria of the Flying Six" has been defeated by Azusa and Kappa-sama Kawamatsu!
"The Flying Six Possessions of Forza has also been slain by Lord Ashura Doji!"
Such good news kept coming in.
At least on conventional battlefields, the scales of victory have clearly tipped.
However, those with true insight understand that this is not the case.
For example, the Shuangyue Kang family.
As the former daimyo of Hakumai, he certainly knew.
On this vast ocean, the fighting spirit of ordinary people and warriors is of course important. When everyone unites, they can certainly ignite a flame powerful enough to burn everything.
But the so-called victory on the battlefield that is truly enough to completely determine the situation often comes only from a few individuals.
Heroes, strongmen—call them whatever you like.
For example, Shimotsuki Ryoma in the past could protect the entire Wano Country from the malice of the sea with just one sword.
For example, as long as Kozuki Oden was still alive, neither Kaido nor Orochi could completely relax.
And now, the situation is the same with war.
His gaze, and that of many of the warriors around him, was now fixed on the center of Ghost Island—the edge of the enormous, bottomless rift that cleaved the entire island in two.
They all knew that place... was the stage that would ultimately determine the outcome of this war!
And at this moment...
"Boom!"
Amidst the deafening roar, boulders from the edge of the rift valley tumbled down the cliff.
And on the edge of the cliff.
"Hahaha..."
Ace knelt on one knee, panting heavily.
The blood that had just spilled from the corner of his mouth was evaporated by the flames on his body before it could drip down. At this moment, a hideous wound on his body was rapidly healing.
Meanwhile, Yamato was standing not far from him.
Her white fur in her True God form was covered in dust, and her spiked club "A-Jian" was stuck on the ground, also panting heavily.
"What a...troublesome guy."
The inextinguishable flames burning on their bodies remained strong, repairing their torn flesh and broken bones.
Even so, neither of them relaxed in the slightest.
Their gaze was fixed only on the horizon.
Ahead—that enormous figure stood like a mountain on the opposite cliff.
His golden armor, resembling dragon and snake scales, gleamed in the moonlight. His massive body exuded a suffocating sense of oppression, and the greatsword in his hand was pointed diagonally at the ground, with black and red lightning still clinging to its blade.
"I've seen giants before, but something this strong... I've never even heard of such a thing."
Ace gritted his teeth: "The gap—is too big."
