Chapter 403: Death
However, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi's various predictions are destined to cause accidents because there is always a conspirator outside the court looking for opportunities to eliminate the two of them.
Seeing that Nekomamushi was willing to fight to the death with Inuarashi even though he was injured, Pedro, the top brass of the mink tribe, including the Guardians and Musketeers, were both impressed and worried.
Boss Nekomamushi is indeed a tough hero. Even if he knows that he can't take on Inarashi-sama's powerful moves, he refuses to surrender. He really has the pride to refuse to admit defeat!
"Ah!! Come on, stinky dog!!"
Nekomamushi's whole body was concentrated to the extreme, and he roared at Inuarashi.
"Fall down! Stupid cat!!"
Inuarashi also went to attack with a fighting spirit on his face, his eyes very determined.
Seeing the two former kings dueling desperately, some minks could not bear to close their eyes, and most of them were seriously watching Inuarashi's powerful moves.
Nekomamushi's armed black claw blocked Inuarashi's cross sword energy, and it was already having trouble to hold on. Inuarashi's killing move came in an instant, and Nekomamushi could only grit his teeth to resist.
Inuarashi eagerly wanted to leave a cross wound on Nekomamushi's chest to end the fight that had lasted for more than ten years.
However, at this moment, Nekomamushi's face suddenly turned pale, a sharp pain shot through his heart, and the strong armament haki on his claws and body suddenly collapsed.
"Pfft!!"
Several puffs of blood spattered out, and Nekomamushi's arm flew out, and two terrifying sword wounds appeared on his chest, almost splitting him into four pieces.
The bones in the chest have been cut open, and most of the internal organs such as the heart, liver, and lungs have also been split open.
If Inuarashi hadn't sensed something bad and desperately stopped at the last moment, Nekomamushi would have been chopped into four pieces by his cross slash.
"Nekomamushi!!!"
Inuarashi came back to his senses and shouted in horror. He dropped his swords tremblingly, ran over quickly and hugged the fallen cat mink, tears suddenly flowing out of his eyes.
He actually killed his good brother!
Nekomamushi opened his mouth slightly and wanted to speak, but both of his lungs had been cut open by Inuarashi, and he had no breath to speak. The breath of life in his body quickly dissipated, and his pupils also expanded.
"Boss Nekomamushi!!"
Pedro, Blackback, and Roddy of the Guardians all rushed to the ring in horror, watching their boss die in front of them.
Shishilian and Giovanni of the Musketeers also watched in shock as Nekomamushi was killed on the ring by their most respected Lord Inuarashi.
Carrot also hugged Wanda in fear, unable to believe this fact.
"Why!! Inuarashi!! Why did you use so much strength?!!"
Pedro punched Inuarashi in the face and snatched the body of Nekomamushi from his arms. Blackback and Roddy also picked up the two severed arms of Nekomamushi in tears. He looked at Inuarashi with an angry look on his face.
"I thought he could stop it. Why is this happening..."
Inuarashi also collapsed on the ground in confusion. Why didn't he feel the resistance of Armament Haki when he slashed at Nekomamushi?
Could it be that Nekomamushi had already reached the end of his crossbow when he blocked the sword energy, so there was no armament haki left to block his subsequent killing move?
What is this?
Why was Nekomamushi holding on so hard?!
Inuarashi's mind was blank, and he couldn't accept this sudden accident.
The minks below the ring were in complete commotion.
Isn't this a normal battle?
Why did the King of Day, Inuarashi, kill the King of Night, Nekomamushi, in front of so many people?
Half of the audience was sobbing in sadness, unable to accept the death of Nekomamushi, while the other half had become angry and began to curse Inuarashi, a vicious person who was so ruthless to his brothers of the same race.
The members of the Musketeers immediately rushed under the ring and began to maintain order on the scene to prevent a riot.
Basire was on the audience stage. The red light in his pupils had long faded. He secretly took a small piece of red muscle from his hand and returned it to Law's hand, asking him to find an opportunity to put it back on the heart of Nekomamushi.
Although this world does not have the habit of autopsies, it is better to keep everything intact.
As a doctor, Law rushed to the ring with Dr. Miyagi to provide first aid to Nekomamushi.
But it was obvious that he was already dead and there was no chance of saving him.
Law looked busy, sewing and repairing Nekomamushi's body, reattaching his severed hand, and sewing up the badly injured chest, taking the chance to return the small piece of heart that was missing.
Basire looked at the angry minks, with a large number of them already pointing their fingers at Inuarashi, and saw that the matter had almost reached its climax.
Basire reminded the stunned Bepo and asked him to quickly calm down the rioting citizens as the king.
"Everyone listen to me, everyone should disperse now and go back. I and other senior officials will give you a satisfactory answer!"
When Bepo heard Basire's reminder, he also reacted and immediately stood up to stop the tribesmen who continued to make noise.
Hearing their new king speak, most of the people were still quite angry, and even if they calmed down a little, they were unwilling to leave.
They wanted to take one last look at Nekomamushi, and curse Inuarashi, the evil man who killed him.
But suddenly, a terrifying conqueror's haki erupted, making the entire Zou Island quiet.
"Please believe in your king! Now go home and calm down. Bepo and the members of the Guardians and Musketeers will handle this matter!"
Basire used his haki to stop the angry minks. Under his pressure, they dispersed with ugly expressions and went home.
But they had completely become disgusted with Inuarashi, the former king.
Only the Guardians, the Musketeers, and the twenty people who were going to sea were the only minks left on the field.
"This is your own internal affairs, we can't interfere in it, so we will leave."
Basire took Law and Nami back to the Ark Maxim. After they handle the matter, he will take the twenty people out to sea and leave.
Within the mink tribe, the body of the Nekomamushi was quickly collected and the trial of Inuarashi began.
But as the king of the day, Inuarashi has a high prestige. The top brass of the Musketeers are interceding for him, while the people in the Guardians want Inuarashi to take his life or be imprisoned forever to atone for his sins.
"This is a fair duel. Did Inuarashi-sama do it on purpose?"
Shishilian, the former captain of the Musketeers, defended Inuarashi bravely. Looking at the lost Inuarashi, he felt very uncomfortable as to why this happened.
Inuarashi's silence also acquiesced to the fact that he killed Nekomamushi accidentally.
The Guardians and the Musketeers kept arguing and disagreeing, and finally they all looked at Bepo, the new king.
