Chapter 267 - The Fall of Kaido

Kaido and the others occupied Wano Country, gathering pirates in an obvious display of their intent to resist to the end.

To control these people, he could only utilize Impure World Reincarnation.

Luo Chen made no effort to hide his killing intent.

Kaido, Charlotte Linlin, Shiki... several great pirates looked on with serious and solemn expressions.

Charlotte Linlin abandoned her entanglement with Luffy, riding a thundercloud back to Kaido's side.

Doflamingo, Katakuri, and the others likewise abandoned their opponents to regroup with Kaido.

Edward Weevil, the Patriarch Wang Zhi, and other pirates were not slow to act, gathering together and standing in wait.

They did not wait for Luo Chen to launch an attack; instead, they struck first.

They feared that if they were slow to act, they would fall into a disadvantage.

Kaido transformed into a massive Azure Dragon, opening his mouth to spit out a pillar of crimson flame.

In Charlotte Linlin's hand, the Napoleon long sword merged with the thundercloud and firecloud, blasting out a long-range laser entwined with thunder and flame.

Doflamingo and Katakuri activated their Fruit Awakening.

The ground beneath their feet and the surrounding buildings transformed into white silk threads and milky white mochi, respectively.

Countless white silk threads aggregated, eventually forming sixteen sharp, spear-like objects entwined with jet-black Armament Haki.

Katakuri, meanwhile, condensed his mochi into a massive, jet-black spiked club.

Edward Weevil and Wang Zhi, who did not appear to be Devil Fruit users, delivered full-power slashes with their blade-type weapons.

The rest of the pirates, such as the Three Calamities of the Beasts Pirates, the Tobi Roppo, and Big Mom's children, also joined the fray.

Everyone's target was Luo Chen.

"Pointless resistance." Luo Chen waved his hand, and a pitch-black spatial portal appeared in front of him.

The fastest-flying Heat Breath flames and Big Mom's thunder-flame laser charged into the spatial portal and vanished.

Doflamingo and Katakuri hurriedly manipulated their attacks, maneuvering around the spatial portal to continue their assault from the flanks.

In the next instant, a powerful gravitational pull emanated from the spatial portal.

The enemies' numerous attack techniques were influenced by the gravity, involuntarily rushing toward the spatial portal.

In the blink of an eye, the entire offensive was swallowed whole.

Just as Kaido and the others were becoming infuriated, a spatial black hole suddenly appeared above their heads.

They looked up, their expressions changing instantly.

From within, they sensed the auras of the attacks that had just disappeared.

Heat Breath flames, the thunder-flame laser, sixteen silk thread spears, and the mochi spiked club surged out from within.

Seeing the group attempt to resist, Luo Chen unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.

He activated the [Overlord's Supremacy] characteristic of his Conqueror's Haki.

Within the domain, those with weak Haki could not utilize any abilities beyond their physical bodies.

The moment he was enveloped by the Haki, Kaido instantly regressed from his Azure Dragon form back into his human form.

The Napoleon long sword, thundercloud, and firecloud fusion in Charlotte Linlin's hand let out a miserable scream as three glowing green soul orbs flew out and returned to her body.

Napoleon, in its long sword form, reverted into a pirate hat and fell to the ground.

The thundercloud and firecloud dissipated into the air.

Charlotte Linlin watched this scene in disbelief.

The Homies created by the Soul-Soul Fruit had actually collapsed.

Beside her, Conflagration King in his Pteranodon form, Plague Queen in his Brachiosaurus form, and Drought Jack in his Mammoth form similarly regressed to human form just like Kaido.

Doflamingo and Katakuri's Fruit Awakening domains vanished, reverting into normal buildings.

Everyone's Devil Fruit powers had completely failed.

Some reacted quickly, attempting to use Armament Haki to block the impending attacks.

But immediately after, they discovered to their horror that Armament Haki could not be utilized at all.

The Haki within their bodies was like a pool of stagnant water; no matter how they tried to mobilize it, it remained motionless.

"Rumble—"

The numerous attacks spat out by the spatial black hole struck the pirates, including Kaido.

The earth shattered, instantly collapsing into a massive deep pit.

Once the dust from the explosion cleared, many charred corpses lay strewn within the pit.

The only ones still standing were a few members of the Beasts Pirates.

Zoan Devil Fruit abilities had granted them powerful physical bodies.

Among Big Mom's children, only Katakuri stood in place, covered in blood.

The rest were either heavily injured and on the brink of death or already dead.

Doflamingo, Edward Weevil, and Wang Zhi remained alive due to their great strength.

However, their injuries were not light; some had lost arms, while others had lost legs.

They had been forced to bear the brunt of their own strongest attacks.

Furthermore, they had done so with only their physical bodies, unable to use Armament Haki for defense.

Luo Chen gazed at their wretched appearance and continued his offensive.

He raised his hand and condensed over a dozen indigo energy spheres.

These indigo energy spheres dashed out with extreme speed, their forms changing into finger-length indigo lasers.

Faced with lasers that posed a lethal threat, both Kaido and Charlotte Linlin began to flee.

Currently, Fruit abilities could not be used, and Haki could not be used.

Only a fool would use their physical body to tank Luo Chen's attacks.

Doflamingo turned to escape, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw Edward Weevil, who claimed to be Whitebeard's son, lift his massive blade.

"He wouldn't..."

Just as the thought crossed Doflamingo's mind, he heard Edward Weevil let out a great roar.

The massive blade slashed directly at an incoming indigo laser.

With a thunderous "boom," a massive explosion occurred.

Edward Weevil's body, like his blade, was snapped into five or six pieces, falling in different locations.

Doflamingo sprinted away without daring to look back.

There really is a fool who overestimates himself... he cursed in his heart.

At the same time, he was certain of the terrifying power of the indigo lasers.

Edward Weevil was a member of the World Government's Seven Warlords of the Sea, just like him.

His strength was not even weaker than his own.

Yet, faced with that laser, he was instantly blown to pieces.

Doflamingo thought that by changing directions and escaping for a distance, he could dodge the laser.

As it turned out, no matter how he changed direction, an indigo laser remained locked onto him, sweeping toward him.

"Jack!"

From the side came the roars of King and Queen.

Doflamingo couldn't help but turn his head to look.

Drought Jack had stepped in front of his two elder brothers, arms spread wide in a gesture to block three indigo lasers.

"Chirr!" After a faint sound.

A finger-thick blood hole appeared in the center of Jack's brow.

Two indigo lasers surged out from the back of his head, continuing straight toward King and Queen.

"Damn it, they really are locked on." Doflamingo's heart went cold.

The three lasers were locked onto the Three Calamities respectively.

Even though Drought Jack intentionally tried to block for the other two, he only managed to exhaust the power of one laser.

The other two lasers continued to rush toward their respective targets.

Driven by rage and sorrow, King and Queen gave up on fleeing and, like Jack, had their brows pierced by the lasers.

The light in the eyes of the Three Calamities faded, and their bodies fell backward simultaneously, crashing onto the ground.

In the distance, seeing this, Kaido let out a roar, "I don't believe this!"

He raised his spiked club and, relying solely on physical strength, smashed it toward the incoming indigo laser.

But that laser was exceptionally agile, like a swimming fish; it bypassed the spiked club and hit Kaido's head.

Kaido's physical body wouldn't even sustain an injury if he fell into freefall from tens of thousands of meters in the sky and smashed into the ground.

But in front of the indigo laser, it was like tissue paper; his head was directly pierced through.

A blood hole appeared at Kaido's temple, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed. The spiked club slipped from his hand, hitting the ground with a crisp clang.

As his tall and sturdy frame collapsed, one of the Four Emperors had fallen on his own turf.
