One Piece: My Infinity Gauntlet! - Chapter 403: Dignity or Life!
BOOM!
The battle was over in just an instant…
Ashura Doji struck with his strongest attack with his life and belief that he would die, and his essence, energy and spirit all reached their peak!
Will, who was distantly locked in, also gave enough respect and also threw an unreservedly powerful punch!
It’s a fight to the death!
The sharp blade and the indestructible Infinity gauntlet collided head-on, and the invisible energy became tangible, sending sparks of electricity that chilled the body. For a few breaths, they were frozen in a stalemate!
Then, the sword broke and the golden gauntlet won the clash!
Ashura Doji’s entire front chest caved in, along with the broken sword that flew out and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up again. Then in the next second, Will, who was in a punching stance, the sleeves on his right arm were torn to shreds by the remaining blade qi with a swish, and the pieces of cloth flying in the air somehow added a bit of inexpressible poetry to the scene.
Victory and defeat had already been decided, yet the defeat was still honourable!
Will withdrew his hand and stood up again to recognize his opponent, at least his strongest attack was not so easy to catch…
The corners of his eyes were drooping, and a trace of blood was slowly seeping out of his right arm.
After finishing the battle, which was not very enjoyable, Will focused his attention on the ‘warriors’ of the country of Wano, whose faces were filled with shame, anger and panic.
The domineering power that looked down upon the world suddenly and precisely pressed down on the body of every samurai on the field, and cold sweat instantly flowed down from their heads.
In that instant, it was as if they were actually seeing the ancient demon god thousands of meters tall staring at them in a hideous and terrifying manner!
“Life or Dignity!?”
The terrifying soul spell reproduced in the world, and the combined forces of the samurai, already in great panic, could not resist at all, and a hazy white light emerged from each of them, the colour of their souls!
Will stretched out his hand and precisely pulled out half of everyone’s life span as punishment before withdrawing his haki of conqueror and soul devil fruit ability.
The grey space once again regained its brightness, and all the guys who had taken half of their lifespans all slumped on the ground gasping for air, and the moment Will reached out his hand to them, they actually felt the real smell of death!
“I have just taken half of your life spans as punishment for challenging the limits of my patience.”
“If you are still unhappy, you can continue to resist, but next time don’t ask for the good fortune this fool has earned for you today!”
Yes, they have good luck, if it wasn’t for Ashura Doji, none of these people would be alive right now, otherwise, how can he convince the public that his people would have been killed in vain!
Another glance at Ashura Doji, who was in a life-or-death state, and Will waved his hand with a cold face.
“Let them go, and return the troublemakers caught in prison these days to them as well.”
“If there’s a next time, there’s no need to bring them back, just kill them all, and save the food waste.”
“Yes!”
Soon the pirates who had locked them up released them again, as well as all the Wano Samurai who had been imprisoned.
Those who had survived because of Ashura Doji were all in a state of confusion, with complicated looks.
It seemed that from this moment on, there was no meaning to their existence.
The homeland they wanted to defend didn’t need them at all, their country no longer existed, and now they were in a brand new country of wano.
Even if they were reluctant to do so, there was no point, they were already defeated, and now they had lost the righteousness that was used to compel the people, compared to Ashura Doji, who was willing to sacrifice his life for the whole country, they were not worthy to be called samurai at all.
Even if he couldn’t be saved, they didn’t want the last warrior of the country to die in the wilderness, or at least be buried in the cemetery of the Kozuki clan.
Will did not stop these people, because he knew that the last trouble that prevented him from taking control of Wano had become unbearable by the time Ashura Doji said those words.
But some of them left, while others stayed.
“Do you want me to buy you a cup of tea if you’re not leaving?” Will turned his head to look at Kinnemon and his companions who looked distressed and uneasy.
If he wasn’t mistaken, these three people, together with Raizo who was in prison and Momonosuke who was nowhere to be found, should be the five who crossed time.
The variables that had crossed over from 20 years ago to revive the Kozuki clan and take back the country of Wano from Kaido and Orochi.
Kinnemon, who was struggling to resist the tremendous pressure Will brought to bear on them, could only grit his teeth and say, “Your Excellency, one of our companions is still locked up inside, can you release him as well?”
“The rest of the criminals in my prison are all involved with the Beast Pirates, are you sure that some of them are your companions?
The temperature around them was dropping a lot, but for the sake of their companions, even if there was only a slight chance, they would fight for it.
So Kinnemon had to confess: “When your Excellency and Kaido fought, we wanted to flee from here but did not want to clash with your personnel at the port, and as a last resort, Raizo had to break off alone, but his whereabouts are still unknown, and he must have been captured. I implore your Excellency to release my companion.”
As if the half of his life that had just been taken from him hadn’t stopped him from continuing to try to go back and forth on the brink of death.
“Oh, so you’re the foolish thieves who had the audacity to rob my ship.”
Will’s casual words left the three speechless, their faces bruised and purple.
And before they could say anything else, Will asked again as if unintentionally, “My people told me that besides the ninja named Raizo, you flew down in two big weird birds, and there were four of you, two men, one woman and one child, right?”
Although he ‘hated’ Momonosuke, his identity as the young master of the Kozuki Clan and his ability to communicate with Zou had to make Will cautious, he didn’t want Momonosuke to come over one day with Mink army, manipulating Zou, to kill him.
All else being equal, the Ancient Elephant Zou strength was truly unpredictable, killing the highly defensive Drought Jack with a single blow, and his huge figure was intimidating just from a distance.
It wasn’t that Will was afraid, but that he didn’t like this kind of unnecessary trouble.
Even if he wins, what’s the advantage of fighting that Ancient Elephant?
