Chapter 234

- Die. - Only one chilling word swept for miles, and then a golden glow rushed towards the combatants. Time seemed to have stopped. Neither the Sea Devil nor even Kaido had time to realize what was going on before the golden beam approached the two Yonko. It was at that moment that Pestilence finally reacted, at the same time that Kaido's mind cleared. A noticeable fear was reflected in the eyes of the King of Beasts, and the blackness of the eyes again turned into a golden reflection of the dragon's soul.

At the same time, the Sea Devil finally called out to all his might. There was no time left to use Rokushiki, so he only used the powers of the fruit. He wasn't trying to convert the whole body, rather he was trying to protect the vital organs. It didn't just happen quickly, it happened almost at the speed of light. Even his reaction was completely lacking. If he did not know about the person hidden in the shadows, he simply would not have been able to react in time and most likely died.

One moment and the golden beam crashed into the Sea Devil. No matter how fast he accelerated, he knew he couldn't escape! The enemy clearly understood this and put enough power into the attack. That is why, even having strengthened quite a bit, Pestilence did not have time to protect himself. Even if he had time, the attack power was simply overwhelming. Never before in his life did the Sea Devil face such terrible power. All he could do was not let this force pierce the heart and head, everything else can be restored. The main thing is to protect the most important! That single thought was reflected in the pirate's eyes. There was no trace of fear, indecision or desire to retreat in them - he was about to receive this attack, and then shed the blood of this bastard! He didn't even see the opponent's silhouette, only an overwhelming golden light that Kaido didn't care about at all. His goal is only one person and right now everything must be decided!

Mort didn't even have time to feel the pain... Instantly, all the protection on his chest was broken, then James used the last resort, trying to hide into the darkness, but that didn't work either. All he managed to do was shift the blow a little to the side, following which the entire attack force traveled from the center of the chest to the left area, and then completely covered him. The golden flame wave turned into a beam of energy and simply carved its way forward. As soon as the pirate's chest was pierced, the Sea Devil's second power finally worked and his body teleported away, instantly a huge silhouette of the King of Beasts appeared in its place. He did not even understand what happened, as their bodies abruptly changed places. No matter how fast the Pestilence was, the attack speed of the enemy and its destructive potential were simply amazing, he could not even cross the space at once, so he still took the blow. This despite the fact that he had been expecting a surprise attack for a long time... The only drawback of the spatial field showed itself in all its glory.

Once free, the pirate’s eyes immediately darkened, flashes of golden flame were still visible all over his body, and a deep hole was visible in his left chest, even his wing was divided into two. This is not to mention the right side of the body and lower abdomen, completely burned to meat and charred bones. The Sea Devil did not even have time to realize how it happened, such a speed almost did not give him a chance. Fortunately, he was still careful, otherwise today he would have died instantly. Only, even now, his thoughts were still confused, his muscles were trembling, and pure darkness was reflected in his eyes. He hovered for only a moment, when he suddenly began to fall down. He completely lost the ability to fight.

At the same time, Kaido took the elder's attack on himself. The attacker himself did not feel much better than the Sea Devil. The loss of such a terrible amount of energy in a moment took a toll on his body. White hair began to turn gray before my eyes, the skin wrinkled and visibly aged. He even decreased by a few centimeters and hunched slightly. At the same time, his attack finally dissipated. Following from the silence and the sea of flames, a huge black silhouette flew out. It was hard to discern who it was, but if you looked closely, it immediately became clear... The charred Yonko returned to his former human form, this time the Beast King completely lost all his strength. On his huge chest, over the terrible scar left by Oden, a small hole appeared, still burning out from the action of the unquenchable golden flame. Kaido, like the Sea Devil, was hit by this terrible technique. Only unlike the first, the King of Beasts took all the power inherent in it. The fire penetrated his every cell and destroyed any connection with the devil fruit, literally destroying his soul. Kaido remained alive only because of his terrifying willpower and unimaginably strong body. So, with a hole in his chest, he flew to the ground. The second dragon completely lost the ability to fly and, as if in slow motion, fell from the sky ...

At the same time, the Sea Devil finally landed. His fall was completely silent. Not even dust flew into the air. A tall man with an ax on his back flew out at top speed towards the falling silhouette. A single wing opened and allowed him to stay in the air for a moment and catch his falling comrade. So, Young and James ended up on a lonely island, of which there are very few left here.

“Cap…” Silver Ax placed Mort gently on the ground, adjusting his wings. Right now, the appearance of the formidable Yonko looked rather sad. A charred hole in the left chest and a completely torn collarbone. James had long suppressed the strength of the enemy's fire and took control of the blood in the body, only because he had not yet lost a lot of blood. Unfortunately, he didn't have the energy to recover. In this position, he could only continue to maintain his hybrid form, but it was very unlikely to fight intelligently. Naturally, he could, but now all hope is on the ability of one ship's doctor ...

Yong had no time to worry about the captain, when Alia was nearby and in a panic ran to the wounded pirate. She screamed at the sight of Mort, his condition scared her a lot. The pirate himself turned to the already pretty angry Ax and quietly whispered:

"Kong... Bring him... the body." – the pirate did not have to ask much, he even understood everything from a half-word. This was not part of the plans, but everyone knew about the new fruit of the Sea Devil. It will not be a mistake to find a good vessel with blood, this will easily facilitate the work of the doctor.

Just as Yong rushed towards the body of the defeated commander-in-chief, Kaido finally fell to the ground. Aliya pulled herself together and quickly ran to her captain. She suddenly became serious and without further ado began to heal the wound using all her abilities to the maximum.

Seeing her serious face, Mor smiled warmly and closed his glowing eyes. The marks on his body gleamed dimly. Now he is in his weakest position. But, even so, he didn't really worry, but only turned on the will of observation and began to wait for the next round to begin. He knew for sure, the last fight was already very close. Only this time, even in that position, he was still smiling. After all, he knew - having survived this attack, the battle was almost over!
