"Where is this place?" Kyuubi opened his eyes and carefully surveyed his surroundings.
The dark, lightless room was gone. In its place was a boundless sea of blood clouds, even the sky was blood-red, and a colossal blood moon hung high above.
A single glance, and it seemed like a world of blood.
"What is this? I actually have a body?"
Kyuubi found himself tied to a wooden frame, completely immobile. Haki, Devil Fruit power, and even his Devil Fruit ability were unusable.
It was as if he had returned to the very beginning of his journey at sea, powerless.
A "zero-seven" feeling of powerlessness spread through Kyuubi's heart.
"Welcome to Tsukuyomi's space."
At this moment, a clear voice sounded. The voice was not harsh, but it contained a subtle pressure.
Numerous crows flew past. Then Ye Chen's figure slowly appeared before Kyuubi.
"Where exactly is this place?" Kyuubi asked, gnashing his teeth.
One second he was in an iron cage, the next he was in this world.
It was clear that all of this was caused by the person in front of him.
"I've already said this is Tsukuyomi's space." Ye Chen's face was calm.
As he spoke, a sharp blade appeared in his hand.
"Here, whether it's time, space, or even souls, everything is controlled by me. Or you could say, you can understand that I am the sovereign of this world, the god of this world."
As Ye Chen spoke, he plunged the blade into Kyuubi's chest.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
Kyuubi let out a miserable shriek. Cold sweat continuously streamed down his forehead. The pain of the blade piercing his heart was a fierce pain that no ordinary person could bear.
After a moment, Kyuubi panted, his expression extremely despondent.
"Not bad, huh? You can actually endure it." Ye Chen smiled.
As he spoke, two blades appeared in his palm, and he once again plunged them into Kyuubi's body.
Only this time, the direction of insertion was not the chest.
But the head.
"Ugh."
His head was pierced, and the pain, as if from a storm, instantly swept over him. Kyuubi shrieked, then passed out.
"It seems I can't move his head." Ye Chen looked at the unconscious Kyuubi, muttering to himself.
Although this was a genjutsu space, if a vital point was hit, he would die just like in the real world.
But dying here, he could still be revived.
In a sense, there was no death in Tsukuyomi's space.
"Welcome back."
A blurry voice sounded in Kyuubi's ear. Kyuubi instantly opened his eyes.
What came into view was Ye Chen's gentle smile.
But this smile, in Kyuubi's eyes, was undoubtedly a devil's, even more terrifying than a devil.
"How many times... have I died...?" Kyuubi panted, asking intermittently.
"About nine times." Ye Chen thought for a moment and replied.
"Continue, the feast of death."
Ye Chen said, then plunged the blade in his palm into Kyuubi's body.
"Ah ah ah ah!"
Kyuubi let out a miserable shriek, his face twisted and contorted, but not long after, he gritted his teeth and suppressed the pain. "How exactly can you let me go?"
"Let you go?" Ye Chen smiled gently. "It's not impossible to let you go. It seems you wanted to talk to me about something earlier. Speak, what exactly do you want to talk to me about?"
Ye Chen did not stop his actions because of Kyuubi's answer. As he spoke, several blades appeared in his palm, and he directly plunged them into Kyuubi's chest.
"Ugh."
Intense pain swept through him. Kyuubi let out a muffled groan, forcing himself to endure it: "We want to invite you to join our alliance."
"Alliance?" Ye Chen frowned, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "What alliance?"
"An alliance formed... to resist the Four Emperors. All members of the alliance... are Eight Kings-level pirates." Kyuubi said intermittently, enduring the pain.
"Alliance members at the King level?"
Ye Chen heard this, a strange look in his eyes. He asked thoughtfully, "Now, including you, there are only six Eight Kings left, so are you all members of the alliance?"
Originally, of the Eight Kings of the Underworld, Fenrir was destroyed by Ye Chen, and Urouge also destroyed one...
The remaining six, including Kyuubi.
However, although Kyuubi said King, all the strength he had taken was destroyed by Urouge. He was only a King in name, but in reality, he was dead.
To put it bluntly, Kyuubi was now a lone wolf.
"Now, including me, there are five Kings in the alliance. The remaining are some New World pirates." Kyuubi replied weakly.
Ye Chen heard this and looked thoughtful. According to Kyuubi's words, this so-called alliance should be a gathering of pirates who refused to obey the Four Emperors.
Or rather, it was just a group of weaklings clinging together.
To prevent the Four Emperors from destroying them, they gathered a huge force.
But according to Ye Chen's understanding, Whitebeard and Shanks wouldn't easily move them, unless this so-called alliance dug its own grave. But Kaido and Charlotte Linlin were different.
The two acted as they pleased, their personalities cruel. For those who didn't obey, they would all be destroyed.
Just like when Ye Chen extorted a ransom from her earlier, Charlotte Linlin led a large army to come.
But several Kings huddled together also formed a considerable force.
"Your so-called Kings are all losers left over from the struggle for the position of a Four Emperor, aren't they?" Ye Chen said slowly.
Kyuubi's eyes flashed with a hint of shame when he heard this. Then he said sharply to Ye Chen, "Even if your Domination is strong, you still can't consider us losers. At least we dared to challenge the Four Emperors."
"Interesting." Ye Chen smiled. The so-called position of a Four Emperor could be easily obtained if he wanted it.
But Ye Chen had no particular pursuit for this.
Compared to the position of a Four Emperor, he preferred to be emperor.
He didn't really need trivial things like equal footing.
"Meaningless dispute." Ye Chen shook his head, then said, "Your so-called alliance is nothing more than fear of the Four Emperors, terror of the Four Emperors. You are a group of weaklings, a group of cowardly losers."
"And you still want to invite Domination to join. You're not worthy yet."
As he spoke, a blade directly pierced Kyuubi's head.
Instantly, Kyuubi's eyes widened, and he died of anger.
