Chapter 219: Dark!
To kill Shinra!
This was everyone's goal, and everyone worked together as it was their only chance to kill him!
Shinra was in a critical situation, and it was definitely one of the only chances to take his life!
After all, if they didn't take away the life of this young man, then—
Shudder!
Even the most stupid pirate understood that if Shinra lived, then the pirates would be in a nightmare, at the worst, piracy would completely disappear!
Yet, if Shinra knew what they thought, he would roll his eyes since piracy wouldn't end, no matter what, especially with how this planet was filled with nothing but water.
Even in his original world, the modern world, there was still piracy, especially in those areas that were often passed by pirates. Then again, the scale was small, and nothing was as big as the Four Emperors, who could dominate the New World, turning that area into a pirate paradise.
Still, regardless, it was impossible for them to kill him, why?
It was because by using his Kamui space, he teleported Kuzan, Akainu, and Kizaru.
As the three stood surrounding him, they went all out!
"ICE AGE!"
"METEOR VOLCANO!"
"YATA NO KAGAMI!"
There was no holding back; the three went all out with their Devil Fruit abilities and didn't even give those pirates any mercy!
Kuzan, with his Hie Hie no Mi, the Logia type of Devil Fruit that could manipulate ice, used this power to freeze anything.
Ice.
While it was a simple power, it was also one of the most dangerous!
Even in hell, among all of the punishments that existed, there was also a freezing punishment that would make any human wish that dying was better.
At that moment, no one was left spared, and as long as everything was connected to the sea, all of them would be frozen by Kuzan's ice, and naturally, as he was under the control of Shinra, he taught him how to make Kuzan's ice stronger.
To lower its temperature.
This was the best way to make ice stronger. Not to shape it into many powerful shapes or creatures, but by lowering its temperature to the limit that Kuzan could even freeze time and space.
Still, such a thing was a long way off in distance, and Shinra didn't think that Kuzan could reach that stage, but even with the Haki, who could confidently say that they could defend against the ice?
At the same time, Kuzan's close combat skill wasn't low as he was the best disciple of Garp, who could follow Garp's crazy regimen, which was known as the warship punchbag.
Without using Haki and fully focused on their physical ability, those people who practiced the warship punchbag would smash their fists crazily until the warship was broken.
Garp could do it, Kuzan could do it too, but as Coby, who was the next best disciple of Garp, had his talent taken by Shinra, could Coby do it?
Nevertheless, those who tried to approach Shinra were all frozen as they could only wait for their death!
On the other hand, Akainu, who had eaten the Magu Magu no Mi, turning him into a human magma, was more straightforward and just blasted magma meteor in all directions, blasting and burning everything that was hit by it.
Magma.
This was a powerful Devil Fruit, too, and frankly, it was also profitable since if Shinra got this Devil Fruit, he somehow could imagine that he would become a source of energy, like those geothermal.
Yup, a walking geothermal station.
Then again, as for which one was stronger between magma and fire, Shinra couldn't help but sigh, since in the end, what decided who was stronger was simply the user.
Ace was weaker than Akainu, so it wasn't clear why magma was stronger than the fire in the story.
If Shinra got the Mera Mera no Mi, he would develop the temperature of his fire so high that he could burn anything into ashes. He would probably also change how he would burn, without any oxygen anymore, and use hydrogen and helium, turning into a star.
Unfortunately, Ace died without being able to tap that potential.
Though Shinra had to apologize for looking down on Mera Mera no Mi.
'I am sorry!'
Still, as the meteor of magma came, no one was spared, and all of them were decimated, blasted, and died directly.
Lastly, Kizaru, with his Pika Pika no Mi, which made him into a human light, just sent a bunch of lasers, shooting everyone on the path, and no one was spared, since, unlike in the past, where he just aimed for the body, which wouldn't kill his opponent directly. Instead, he shot his lasers at their heads, killing many so easily.
Who was the strongest admiral?
Shinra could say that Kizaru was the one. Yes, whether it was Hie Hie no Mi or Magu Magu no Mi, they were all powerful, but could they reach the speed of Pika Pika no Mi, which could reach the speed of light?
Speed is power.
Moreover, there were many ways that light could be used.
If Shinra had to describe it, it would be a lot, but did he really need the three admirals to work together to protect him?
Frankly, no since if he wanted to, he could recover faster with his power of eyes, and as his Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire had awoken, if he wished to, all the blood of the pirates in his surroundings would have replenished his energy so many times, but he didn't do that since he didn't want to bear all the pressure alone.
Yes, he could bear all the pressure alone, but by then, he would be targeted by many forces, who would work together to take him down like he was an alien that invaded the earth.
'Well, I am one, though.'
The best way to stop all the conflicts, however, was to have a single powerful external enemy.
As long as such an enemy existed, all the conflicts would cease to exist as everyone worked together to solve this calamity.
Shinra didn't want to do that. Yes, it was possible, but it was too tiring. Instead, he used the British Empire's strategy that it loved to use the most, the Divide and Conquer!
He divided his enemies, making them face one enemy after another, and when they were preoccupied with the enemies that he had made, he would kill them easily, then take them down.
"Rayleigh, what are you doing?! Come and fight!" Gaban, who saw his friend, stopped struggling and just stood with a sigh, enraged.
Yet, Rayleigh, who had lost Ace, knew that everything was as good as ever.
However, while Rayleigh had given up, the rest hadn't given up!
As they grew closer, their eyes were filled with a spirit, and they grew stronger, and as they saw Shinra, they thought to kill him!
Patrick Redfield, who sought the Batto Batto no Mi, Model: Vampire, the most!
"THAT DEVIL FRUIT IS MINE!"
Escaping from the brutal attacks of Kuzan, Akainu, and Kizaru, Redfield moved his fingers like a spear, wishing to take away Shinra's heart, but his heart was in dread when he saw Shinra's mischievous smile!
'No!'
Redfield was fooled, but it was too late.
Splash!
A head was flying away, and a headless body that gushed out blood stopped everyone in their tracks.
One of the strongest prisoners, Patrick Redfield, who was among the legends that stood with Roger, Newgate, and everyone of those generations, was beheaded by Shinra.
"...you really love to joke around, Kuroyagi." Kizaru was speechless.
"Sorry." Shinra apologized, then his eyes turned playful as his body quickly recovered as if nothing had happened to him. "I will kill them now."
At that moment, everything was dark.
