Chapter 274 - Slaughtering a Country

In the crowd, the beast-transformed Boo let out a roar.

"Lion King's Roar!"

"Roooar!"

A thunderous beast roar exploded.

The dwarfs near Boo widened their eyes, blood pouring from all seven orifices as they collapsed to the ground.

"Lion King's Charge!"

The majestic green lion rampaged through the crowd, tearing people apart one claw at a time.

"Hahaha! This feels great! It's been too long since I killed this freely!"

The green lion's eyes began glowing red.

Under that blood-red gaze, the crowd collectively took a step back.

"Roar!"

Covered in Armament Haki, the green lion charged into the crowd again. For a time, severed limbs flew everywhere, and screams rang out without end.

"Eight Impact Fist!"

Sai punched out.

A powerful shockwave burst from his fist and spread outward.

Thud, thud, thud.

People around him dropped one after another.

Sai withdrew his fist, gripped his weapon with both hands, and stared ferociously at the crowd ahead.

"Slaughter is how a man grows!"

Sai swung his blade through the crowd.

"Aiyaiyai—yo!"

Bang, bang, bang!

Bepo was also fighting among the crowd with both hands and feet.

He had found a martial arts manual among White Ghost's collection and thought it suited him very well.

Its name was Wing Chun.

Watching Bepo kick people down one after another, Pedro held a cigarette in his mouth and nodded in satisfaction.

A Mink warrior should be like this.

How could being cute be enough?

"Die, monster!"

Someone jumped up with a katana and slashed at Pedro.

Slash!

Pedro did not even turn around. With a casual swing of his sword, the man in midair was cut apart.

Duang!

His blade covered in Haki, Pedro swung at the people trying to sneak up on Bepo.

"Leopard Strike Sword!"

Whoosh!

A straight line of sword energy flew out.

Those people did not even have time to scream before they were cut apart by the slash.

"Huh?"

Bepo looked at the broken bodies behind him. His face gradually turned green, and before long, he dropped to one knee and began retching.

Pedro flashed to Bepo's side, swinging his sword and harvesting the people charging in from all directions.

"If you want to become a qualified warrior, Bepo, these are things you must experience."

Bepo raised his pale face.

"Brother Pedro, I'll work hard!"

After saying that, he turned his head and continued vomiting.

"Am I being too demanding of Bepo?"

Pedro thought so in his heart, but his hands never stopped moving.

"Hahahaha! Witness the greatness of your Uncle Franky!"

Franky's arm transformed into a Gatling barrel, and he opened fire on the crowd.

Dada-dada-dada!

Screams rang out through the crowd as the smell of scorched flesh spread.

"Hahaha!"

Franky retracted his Gatling arm, pressed both palms together, and aimed at the crowd.

"Coup de Vent!"

Boom!

A massive blast of wind erupted, instantly clearing a wide area around him.

"Franky Fire!"

Franky inhaled deeply, then opened his mouth and spat out flames.

"Ahhh!"

More screams rang out, accompanied by the stench of charred meat.

In the sky, Kuina held the Holy Sword Judgment and snapped her fingers.

"Angel's Judgment."

Below, people raised their weapons toward Kuina and were about to shoot when a burning pain suddenly spread across their bodies.

"Ah! What is this? Why am I burning?"

Watching the people below ignite on their own, Kuina's lips curved.

"This is my newly developed move. It draws out the sin inside your hearts and purifies your souls."

Kuina tightened her grip on her sword and tilted her head.

"My man hates all of you. So for his sake, accept judgment."

"Angel Holy Light Slash."

Whoosh!

A white sword slash flew from Kuina's blade.

Those struck did not bleed. Their bodies simply began to burn, until they turned into ash.

"Netherworld Ghost Slash."

Every slash Bai Hezi released carried black flames.

Like Kuina, her attacks burned upon impact. Anyone struck by them could not escape.

Bai Hezi's eyes widened.

Buzz!

Conqueror's Haki burst out.

Those who had not been cut rolled their eyes back and fainted on the spot.

Nami held Chopper in her arms.

In the original path, she had been one of the timid trio of the Straw Hat Pirates.

But now, after White Ghost had given her the Lightning fruit, the cowardly and timid Nami had long since vanished.

"Thirty Million Volts: Thunderbird!"

Nami gathered lightning in her hand and shaped it into a phoenix-like thunderbird.

Chirp!

A bird cry rang out as the lightning bird flew into the crowd.

Boom!

The crowd was bombarded by lightning, one charred body after another collapsing to the ground.

Chopper's eyes sparkled.

"So cool, Nami!"

Nami smiled proudly and snapped her fingers.

Rumble, rumble.

Lightning fell continuously from the sky, striking the dwarfs so fast they could not even scream.

Señor Pink swam through the ground.

His ability allowed him to swim through anything except water.

Señor Pink swam directly toward the Marines, then suddenly burst out and began attacking them.

"Ah! Are you people insane? You even dare attack Marines?"

The Marine major shouted as he fought and retreated.

"Hmph."

Señor Pink did not care.

These Marines were on that side, so he showed no mercy.

Before long, the twenty-odd Marines were all dead.

Señor Pink picked up a projection Den Den Mushi and returned to White Ghost's side.

White Ghost took the Den Den Mushi and quietly watched his crew slaughter the dwarfs.

Footsteps came from the Den Den Mushi.

White Ghost ignored them.

He guessed he would soon hear Sengoku's loud voice.

Marineford.

A Marine communications officer held a Den Den Mushi and pushed open the door to the conference room.

Ignoring the fact that the Marine higher-ups were in a meeting, he directly projected the Den Den Mushi's image onto the screen.

Sengoku and the other high-ranking officers had been in the middle of a meeting when they were suddenly interrupted. Someone was about to question the panicked Marine who had forgotten protocol.

But as the Den Den Mushi's projection appeared, everyone saw a ten-meter-tall dinosaur crazily attacking people in the crowd.

With one sweep of its tail, boom, a large group of people was smashed into pulp.

Before Sengoku and the others could react, the communications officer spoke.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Former Marine HQ Rear Admiral Daz White Ghost is carrying out a massacre in the Asdea Kingdom!"

A few seconds later, Sengoku snapped back to his senses and roared.

"White Ghost! Stop right now! What are you doing? You bastard, do you think there's no law in this world?"

The others' expressions darkened.

This was slaughtering a country.

In the image, White Ghost's other crew members could also be seen cutting through the crowd.

Magma flowed over Sakazuki's body, his eyes fixed firmly on the man's back in the image.

Kuzan, Borsalino, Garp, Zephyr, Tsuru, and the other high-ranking officers all had dark expressions.

White Ghost lit a cigar and looked at the image in front of him.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, I haven't lost all restraint. I'm simply cleaning some garbage from this world.

"Garbage like this doesn't deserve to live. Keeping them alive only wastes air, so it's better to clear them out."
