I planted a sacred tree in Tokyo.

Chapter 717 Night Kai, the God-Slayer!

Light----------

Endless, scorching white light shone upon the entire planet, which had expanded several times in size.
The light shone on North and South America; the reflection from the general clouds spread across all five continents, and even the Arctic, which had been in a state of polar night for half a year, suddenly welcomed the long-awaited 'light'.

In an instant, America, which was originally in the dark, was plunged into a snowy white, and many people's first reaction was that it was all over! After a few seconds of stunned silence, they realized that it was just a simple light.

Night turned into day, and the daylight was scorching white: under such cold light that it illuminated the world, everyone subconsciously lowered their heads and closed their eyes.

There is an Eastern proverb that says: "The wrath of the gods can move planets and change the constellations."

The blond president, standing in front of the White House window, looked up at the white light outside and couldn't help but sigh.

As the supreme commander, he was already an extraordinary being, capable of facing the light of the explosion directly.

It was just a glance; if they matched...
No, just getting close will reduce them to ashes.

"Mike, does humanity have a future?"

"Of course, Your Excellency the President."

A man dressed as an FBI agent behind him answered.
No, he was originally an FBI agent; he's just being reinstated to his original position.

Not all veterans leave; for example, Agent Mike, who has a deep sense of belonging to America, remains here.

"Commander, the demigods currently fighting against that 'Environmental Demon God' are none other than humans."

Luffy!

He is a true pure-blooded human.

He didn't even eat the 'Extraordinary Pearl' or drink the 'Extraordinary Potion'.

"Humanity."

Could it possibly possess such immense power?

The blond president turned his head and looked at the computer on his desk:
The live broadcast above shows the battle in the Bering Sea. Because KYG has taken over the commentary, countless people around the world can at least get a general understanding of the situation.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Oh oh oh oh oh!!!"

"The Luffy brothers blasted that giant 'Hollow Dog Cannon' into space with a single move!!"

KYG's excited voice was transmitted to the world through the live broadcast: countless people only needed to tilt their heads and look out the window to see the white light that instantly changed day and night, which was the scene of the 'Killing Dog Cannon' that he blasted out of the atmosphere.

"Too strong, too strong—"

Among countless electronic devices worldwide, only KYG's excited exclamations echoed continuously.

But anyone who pays attention to the battlefield has to admit that Luffy's move is beyond just being 'strong'.

That's absolutely incredible!

He actually blasted the 'virtual dog cannon', which was hundreds of meters long, into outer space?

"How can this be?!"

Even Raichu, the yellow-skinned mouse who seemed invincible, couldn't help but break down and exclaim in surprise.

Is the "Virtual Dog Cannon" capable of 'blasting' something away?
Okay, it really can.

But only a 'god-level' person could do that, this guy—

Amidst the blazing crimson light below, after dealing with the 'Hollow Dog Cannon,' the one-armed Luffy, his face contorted with rage, locked his gaze on Raichu.

After opening the Eight Gates, the spiritual power of every cell in his body was squeezed out: skin, nerves, muscles, internal organs, bones. All organs abandoned their original functions, compressing energy into the heart and turning it into an all-or-nothing attack.

After launching an attack with the metal prosthetic arm, the arm immediately collapsed, disintegrated, and disappeared.

"Ok?"

Raichu, the leader of the Eight Heroes, frowned.

This human's 'spiritual power' is still rising, and it has already faintly touched the edge of godhood.

"You're nothing but a flame about to burn out; watch me extinguish you!"

crackling and popping

Enveloped in black lightning, Raichu's lightning tail suddenly lashed forward.

This attack was capable of severely injuring Ōtakemaru. Although there was no advantage of a sneak attack this time, the lightning gathered in a head-on confrontation was stronger, more ferocious, and more ruthless!

At the same time, Luffy clenched his one-armed fist.

"Second strike!!!"

null----------

Another colossal white beam of light suddenly swept across the battlefield, engulfing 'Raichu' within it!
The beam of light was so fast that it didn't even create a sonic boom; it seemed that everything in its path was instantly annihilated by its terrifying power: beneath the white beam, the dark lightning vanished instantly, even its fur was scraped away, and its lightning-shaped tail was even more severely damaged.

click,

It shattered on the spot!

The onlookers only saw a beam of light streak across the sky.

The once invincible Raichu was now like a small beast that had been skinned, its fur falling off and its tail bristling.

? ? ? ?
"No, impossible! I'm a god!"

The disheveled Raichu suddenly turned around and looked at the figure that had sped hundreds of meters away just by 'braking,' leaving a crimson trail in the sky and bursting into flames out of thin air: even though this figure had no arms, in Raichu's eyes, it was so tall and magnificent.

Humanity?

Humans, humans!
"Roar--------"

The excruciating pain in his body and the fear in his heart finally caused the aloof 'Raichu' to reveal his beastly side.

"One Hundred Million Volts - Serpent Thunder God!!"

Amidst the roar, endless black lightning surged from the body of 'Raichu', radiating, expanding, and spreading unchecked. Because of its sheer quantity, it was like rampant ink, constantly eroding the entire world.

Countless black lightning bolts intertwined and spread, forming a sea of plasma in the blink of an eye;
Under everyone's watchful eyes, this 'ocean' suddenly rose higher.

A head as tall as a mountain emerged from the black thunder!
On the triangular head, blazing white lightning burst forth from where the 'eyes' were.

Within its gaping maw, long, jet-black fangs gleamed like sharp blades; it was actually a snake's head made of black lightning!
Immediately afterwards, the second and third heads also rose from the black thunder.

"Humans————" ×3
The three heads shouted in unison:
Tremors! Tremors! Tremors! Tremors! Tremors! Tremors!
A shockwave, a hundred times wilder than thunder and lightning and a thousand times more domineering than landslides and tsunamis, spread out in layers, even shaking out countless tiny cracks in space, like black lightning bolts! The enormous three-headed thunder serpent god's body had expanded to several thousand meters, undoubtedly having stepped from the peak of dragons into the realm of gods.

"I'd like to see how many more attacks you can launch!"

The roar of Razer shook the heavens and earth; its divine body, thousands of meters tall, stood atop the sea, a sight to behold for any planet. However, the truth was:
"This guy is scared."

In the office of Tokyo Jujutsu High School, Yu nodded in agreement with her sister's assessment.

"Correct."

Just as Grodora and Kyogre used their massive size to counter Dust Release, Luffy's Eight Gates, while terrifying, is a point-to-point attack. Being able to blast a 'Kill Release: Hollow Dog Cannon' hundreds of meters long into outer space is not the same as being able to blast a 'Snake Thunder God' thousands of meters long away.

Moreover, if their power is not concentrated, it will be completely ineffective against a group of eight elite warriors like Raichu.

"If Luffy can't hit Raichu's main body, even the strongest attack will be in vain."

? !
Luffy, who had lost both arms, was stunned as his whole body glowed red.
Indeed, after he opened the Eight Gates to its limit, he was able to intervene in battles at the Dragon level.

Even because of his unique characteristics: extreme strength and speed that can catch up with 'Raichu'; but the price is that he loses an arm with each attack!
Now, Raichu has directly activated his 'Serpent Raijin' form: In this situation, if Luffy disperses his power to cover a range of thousands of meters, he definitely won't be able to hurt Raichu; but if he concentrates his power, he can't find his true form.
"over there!!"

call out-------

A beam of emerald green light shot out and landed on the rightmost snake's head and neck.

"Don't even think about hiding before my 'Eye of God'!"

Pegasus's sky-blue "God's Eye" saw directly through the massive black thunder three-headed serpent Raijin and locked onto Raichu's true form hiding within it.

? !
Before Raichu could be transferred,

Countless whirlwinds, like sharp blades, transformed into a dragon-shaped tornado, roaring towards the neck of the third snake head.

This is a wind-type spell cast by Suzuka Gozen using the divine sword 'Ootori Ren'. It's not enough to harm Raichu's true form, but it's sufficient to deal with this 'Snake Raijin'. *Buzz buzz buzz buzz—!!*
The massive tornado slammed into the right side of Thor's neck, the three-headed black thunder serpent.

Wind Kelley, amidst countless wind blades, countless intertwined lightning bolts, and raging winds, revealed a small figure!

Raichu

The next moment, an invisible gravity fell on him.

It's Ōtakemaru! The heavily injured Ōtakemaru, supported by Suzuka Gozen's other hand, struggled to raise the 'Kenmeiren' in his hand and activated Gravity Binding once again.

"Go, Luffy!"

"good,"

Raichu's figure stopped.
Without further hesitation, Luffy pushed off with his feet and transformed into a beam of light, rushing towards Raichu!

"Roar!!!!"

A deep, resonant dragon roar emanated from the trail of blood that had flown past, the blood evaporating from Luffy's body forming a phantom, gigantic dragon's head: majestic yet exuding an irresistible dominance. However, the countless withered cells throughout his body clearly told Luffy that his body was on the verge of collapse.

This will be the final blow.

With a powerful kick of his right foot, Luffy launched a decisive attack on Raichu, the right side of the three-headed lightning snake's neck!

Undeterred and fearless, they regarded thousands of troops as nothing; once this move was unleashed, even gods and demons scattered.

"Nightbringer—"

Hide, hide, hide, hide!

Faced with this all-consuming flying kick, Raichu had only one thought in his mind.

However:
The surroundings suddenly distorted, and Raichu, who was desperately struggling to break free from the constraints of gravity, was horrified to discover;

Before the opponent's attack even arrived, space itself was distorted!

Not at all

null-----------

The crimson light pierced through the three-headed thunder serpent without hindrance, easily pierced through the clouds again, and soared into the heavens.

The light was so dazzling, and the fighting spirit within it was so intense, that it seemed as if the colors of the entire world had converged within it, firmly attracting the gaze of all beings: including the other eight heroes and those rare and exotic beasts, all of them stared blankly at the light, their minds captivated and unable to move.

Who's winning?
The next second, the thousands of meters long black three-headed serpent Thor, like ink dripping into water, began to dissipate powerlessly.

"Raichu's aura has disappeared?!"

"Impossible! Impossible! How could that guy be dead?!"

Rayquaza and Groudon were the first to confirm the 'battle situation,' as members of the 'Eight Elite Warriors,' they could naturally sense the presence of their own kind. However, they couldn't detect any trace of Raichu! Had it been instantly defeated?

At the same time, a mutilated, charred black figure slowly descended from the sky.

He has no arms and has lost his right leg.

"Luffy?!"

"Woooooo~~"

This tragic scene brought tears to the eyes of the Luffy Adventurers, who were looking up from afar.

"My Life"

The charred, hanging figure turned its head and gave them a 'smile'.

No regrets!

call,

When the sea breeze blows,
Luffy, who had truly 'burned out,' began to collapse, turning into ashes and eventually scattering into the sea.

???

"Captain Luffy!!"

"Well done! That's what true men of our Sea Kingdom are like! Waaaaah~~~"

"I'm not crying, I'm overjoyed! Captain Luffy has slain a god with a single blow, his name will be etched throughout history!"

Faced with this mutually assured destruction, the Sea Kingdom's side experienced extreme joy and sorrow, with everyone shedding tears. While they were delighted to have killed the opponent's strongest member, Luffy's tragic death also brought them immense grief.

"Thief, hahaha!!!"

On the battlefield, a signature maniacal laugh suddenly rang out, interrupting the sorrow of the Sea Kingdom and the horror of the Orochi faction.

"Luffy, oh Luffy, you truly are a man I consider my rival. But—"

On the central mountain peak, the creature standing in the black mud stepped forward:
"Garbage is garbage!"

"After death, you are just meaningless garbage."

Teach pointed in the direction Luffy had vanished, his face, covered in a thick beard, showing:
Shock and anger.

"Without life, there is no way to realize one's dreams!"

"That kind of guy is nothing but trash!"

Teach didn't believe that someone like Luffy would prepare a 'resurrection backup plan' for himself;
The Sea Kingdom clearly didn't have that ability either: otherwise, 'Sea Cry' wouldn't have needed to exchange himself for one, using himself to bring Suzuka Gozen back from the underworld.

Teach dislikes Luffy, but he also admires him and recognizes his determination and actions in pursuing his dreams.

Now, Luffy has vanished into thin air.

This both surprised and angered Teach.

"You bastard!!"

Ah Long behind him had already clenched his teeth to pieces, and blood seeped from his gums; he struggled and kept pulling the black mud upwards.

at this time--

Snapped,

A hand landed on his shoulder.

brush,

Next second,
Ah Long found himself at the foot of the mountain, now free.

The one who made the move was Roman: while everyone was still in shock because Luffy had kicked Raichu to death, he teleported to the mountaintop and successfully rescued Arlong.

"Oh? Roman, you're quick on the uptake."

Teach looked down the mountain, seemingly unconcerned about Aaron's rescue, after all:

“If Luffy were still alive, I would be in a lot of trouble too—thankfully he lost his life trying to save this good-for-nothing.”

"He's also a piece of trash."

? !
"Teach, you can insult me, but you can't insult Luffy!!"

Ah Long, who had just been rescued, had bloodshot eyes and almost instinctively wanted to rush up the mountain.

"calm,"

The hand that was still on his shoulder suddenly pressed down, and Roman's voice rang out from behind him.

"Do you want Luffy's sacrifice to be in vain?"

"Ha, what a coward."

Amidst Teach's mockery, Ah Long, his mouth full of blood, gritted his teeth, turned, and sprinted towards the Sea Kingdom's camp.

Luffy, Young Master, Everyone —
