Chapter 185 Killing Whitebeard
Chapter 185 Killing Whitebeard
Upon hearing Whitebeard's words, Minos sneered disdainfully, saying contemptuously, "Old Whitebeard, is all you ever say is this nonsense?"
As soon as Minos finished speaking, his eyes turned fierce like a wolf, and he roared viciously, "Since that's the case, then you shall die!"
After saying that, Minos flashed and rushed towards Whitebeard as fast as a ghost.
In the instant he approached, he lightly swung his demon sword, and a blood-red sword aura roared out like a blood-red raging python, surging towards the white-bearded man.
Wherever the sword energy passed, the air seemed to ignite instantly, emitting a hissing sound.
Upon seeing this, Whitebeard's gaze suddenly sharpened. Knowing the danger of this attack, he immediately exerted force with his right hand, grabbed the Cloud Slasher from beside him, and fiercely slashed at the blood-red sword energy.
With a loud "bang!", like a thunderclap, the blood-red sword energy was instantly shattered by the sharp blade of Yunqie, turning into wisps of blood mist that dissipated into the air.
However, the battle was far from over. Before Whitebeard could even catch his breath, a white sword aura, like an icy arrow, shot silently yet with extreme speed toward Whitebeard's back.
Although Whitebeard was old, his years of combat experience made him as alert as a cheetah.
Just as the white sword energy was about to touch his back, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes, and he unleashed his full Observation Haki.
He quickly turned around, gripped the Cloud Slash with both hands, and swung it forcefully behind him.
In an instant, the cloud-cutting sword and the white sword energy collided fiercely, and the ear-piercing friction sound was as sharp as the hooting of a night owl, as if it would pierce one's eardrums.
In just a moment, the white sword energy shattered into starlight under the heavy blow from Yunqie, and disappeared after flashing a few times in the air.
Cominos's attacks were like a storm, one wave after another.
Before Whitebeard could even catch his breath, another crimson sword aura, as powerful as a thunderbolt, hurtled towards his body with overwhelming force.
This time, Whitebeard was unable to dodge in time and was struck directly by the sharp sword energy.
With a "rip," a huge wound appeared on Whitebeard's chest, as if a curtain had been torn open.
Blood dripped from the wound like beads from a broken string, as if time itself had slowed down at that moment.
Immediately afterwards, blood gushed out like a flood bursting its banks, flowing freely down his chest like a red stream.
The crimson blood was particularly dazzling under the sunlight, giving rise to a strange beauty that was both desperate and tragic.
Minos looked at Whitebeard's gruesome chest, blood gushing from his wounds, and a mocking smile appeared on his lips. He said in a sarcastic tone, "Whitebeard, you really have grown old."
"You can't even withstand a simple attack like this. You're such a useless old man."
At this point, Minos's eyes grew even colder, and he said coldly, "An old codger like you, clinging to life, should just die sooner rather than later, and stop making a fool of yourself in this world!"
With that, Minos flashed and reappeared in front of Whitebeard at incredible speed.
He gripped the demon sword tightly with both hands, raised it high, and with all his might, slashed fiercely at Whitebeard.
This strike seemed to embody all his killing intent; the wind from the blade howled like the wailing of ghosts and wolves.
However, Whitebeard was, after all, a powerful figure who commanded respect in his region. Even though he was seriously injured, at this critical moment, he still managed to react at the last second thanks to his indomitable will and years of fighting instincts.
He struggled to raise the Cloud Slash, desperately blocking Minos's demonic blade.
But at this moment, the Cloud Cutter appeared so small and fragile in front of the Demon Blade, just like a tiny ant trying to contend with a huge elephant.
The overwhelming power of the demon sword pressed down hard on Kumogiri, like an invisible mountain pressing down on it, until Kumogiri was pressed down to touch Whitebeard's chest.
As Whitebeard struggled, blood gushed from the wound on his chest like a fountain, flowing continuously down his body.
The ground beneath his feet was already stained a shocking crimson with blood, and the pungent stench of blood filled the air, sending chills down one's spine.
Minos watched as Whitebeard struggled to resist his attacks with Murakumogiri, a wicked smile creeping onto his lips, his eyes filled with mockery and smugness.
Puppet Number One, wielding a longsword, appeared like a ghost behind Whitebeard.
At this moment, Whitebeard was completely focused on using Murakumogiri to block the demonic sword in Minos's hand that exuded a strange aura, unaware of the deadly danger that was quietly approaching from behind.
In fact, at this moment, Whitebeard was like a trapped beast in a desperate situation.
From the very beginning of the battle, he was pierced through the chest by his opponent, then subjected to a fierce impact from Conqueror's Haki, and later injured by Minos's sharp sword energy. His body had already suffered terrible injuries.
With each swing of his sword, he felt his strength rapidly draining from his body.
If it weren't for the burning obsession in his heart to kill Minos, he probably would have collapsed from blood loss and exhaustion long ago.
Under Minos's malevolent gaze, Whitebeard's back was once again mercilessly pierced by a sharp blade.
In an instant, Minos keenly sensed that Whitebeard's grip on the Murakumogiri was rapidly weakening.
The white-bearded man's face was filled with panic and resentment, his veins bulging, as if a raging fire was burning wildly within him.
Blood slowly oozed from the corner of his mouth, and from the pierced chest, crimson blood flowed down the longsword, staining the ground beneath his feet a shocking dark red.
Minos looked at the white-bearded man's face, which was filled with pain and complexity, and let out a cold laugh: "Old man with the white beard, being ambushed doesn't feel good, does it? But you deserve it."
After saying that, Minos's gaze turned cold, and he gently flicked the demon sword in his right hand upwards.
With a clang, the Murakumogiri in Whitebeard's hand was easily knocked to the ground, instantly losing its former prestige.
Without giving Whitebeard any chance to breathe or react, Minos suddenly thrust the demon sword he had raised into Whitebeard's head.
At this moment, a horrific scene that could shock the world of One Piece was frozen in time.
With Puppet One's longsword embedded in Whitebeard's chest and Minos's cursed sword piercing his head, the light of life in his eyes quickly dimmed.
At this moment, Whitebeard was already on the verge of death under Minos's relentless and deadly attacks, like a candle flickering in the wind, which could be extinguished at any moment.
Minos slowly drew his demon sword, his gaze fixed coldly on the white-bearded man pierced by the sword, a hint of wariness in his eyes.
He recalled Whitebeard's extraordinary tenacity in the original work and couldn't help but secretly increase his vigilance, fearing that Whitebeard might launch a crazy counterattack in his dying moments.
Just as Minos was carefully observing whether Whitebeard still had any hope of survival, the system's familiar notification sound slowly rang in his mind.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for gaining some kill points."
"Ok?"
Minos was slightly surprised. This system notification was tantamount to announcing Whitebeard's death.
Meanwhile, the bloody scene of Minos and Puppet Number One killing Whitebeard was quickly broadcast throughout the entire pirate world via a live Den Den Mushi.
Whether they were powerful figures who commanded respect or ordinary civilians, when they saw this unbelievable scene on the live broadcast screen, their eyes widened and their faces were filled with disbelief.
Their hearts were filled with doubt and shock: Could it be that Whitebeard, who was hailed as the strongest man in the world, had ended his legendary life in this way?
……
P.S.: Sigh! Something came up, and I wasn't in the mood.
