Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 239 Despair
"Drink!!!"

"Kaido!!!"

A roar shattered the sky.

No one could connect it with a dying person. The roar sounded like an angry red dragon, or like a thunder that shook the world!
"Puff!"
The sound waves exploded like a substance. Countless spectators below didn't even have time to cover their ears before they felt as if their chests were hit by a huge hammer. Their internal organs shifted instantly, blood spurted out of their eyes, ears, mouths and noses, and they fell to the ground in large numbers.

Click~
This is the sound of bones breaking.

Abandoning all defenses, even forcibly suppressing his body's natural self-preservation instincts... Under the hundredfold blessing of the Momo Fruit, Wald's body naturally began to collapse.

More than just bones...

His blood was burning, his flesh was evaporating, and his soul was boiling!

He was trying his best to squeeze out the remaining life and consume it all!
He was running towards death without looking back!

But it doesn’t matter anymore, none of this matters.

His right hand, with which he punched, was still intact, and that was enough.

As long as I can throw this punch, it's enough!
A fist with confusion is weak and powerless...

Then the fist that carries his lifelong beliefs, unfulfilled dreams, and all the unrealized futures—it is only natural that it is the absolutely invincible tooth!!!
……

The skin cracked inch by inch, and before the blood could splash, it was evaporated into a blood mist by the force of the fist, entwining around the fist and turning into a ferocious blood dragon!
His consciousness gradually blurred, but the belief engraved in his soul turned into domineering power, making his fist begin to shine!
This is the Superman Fist that combines Wald's entire life, dreams, and future into one!
"Momo 100x Punch!!!"

Clang! ! !
The fist collided with the mace without incident, then obliterated everything around it as before.

The heavy dark clouds that had been weighing on everyone's heads disappeared without a trace in that instant, and the warm sunlight seemed to tell everyone that everything that had just happened was an illusion.

……

[So light...Kaido's attack.]
[And my body, my body is so light...]
After swinging his fist with all his strength, Wald felt as if his whole body became light and floating, as if he was stuck in cotton, with nowhere to exert force.

The same thing happened with Kaido's attack from the opposite side. Each of his strikes had been as heavy as a mountain before... but now they were just like clouds, without any sense of reality, as if I could push him away with just a little effort.

[Was his original strength so light?]
But unfortunately, I am too light.

It was so light that I couldn't even control my movements. I could only move like catkins in the wind, unable to move on my own.

Obviously, I only need to push my arm forward a little bit, but...

[The air is so heavy and the wind is so strong. Am I going to fly?]
[Flying into the sky...?]
Suddenly, just as Wald's consciousness was becoming increasingly vague and about to disappear with the wind, his shoulders suddenly sank.

Just like a thin scroll about to be blown away was suddenly pressed down by a paperweight, Wald's consciousness was anchored back into his body.

[Wald.]
A familiar voice suddenly sounded, and Walder almost subconsciously tilted his head and spoke... just like he had done countless times before.

[Big Brother?]
As expected, it was Bin Jack who caught my eye.

[You've become so heavy, brother.]
[Haha, really?]
[Hmm, I didn’t feel anything when you sat on my shoulders before... Could it be that you’ve gotten stronger, big brother?]
Walder's voice became joyful, as if he had completely forgotten all the feelings of incongruity.

Time seemed to be extended for the brothers out of consideration, allowing them to continue chatting.

[Maybe.]
[Great! Then, could you please help me move my fist forward a little?]
[I'm a little exhausted.]
[Haha, no problem, big brother will help you right away.]
Bin Jack jumped down from Wald's shoulders, and then, as Wald watched, he stretched out his skinny arms and gently pushed behind his shoulders, and then...

Fist, extended forward.

……    哔——！
The dazzling light temporarily disabled the eyes, and the strong vibrations made the ears hear only a burst of mute sounds... The brain fell into self-protection.

In order to cope with the drastic changes in the environment, the brain automatically shut down all external information - eyes, sounds, vibrations... Everyone's consciousness briefly fell into darkness.

……

……

How long has it been?
One second? One minute? Ten minutes?

Time has no meaning in the darkness, so everyone is just counting numbers... They expect to be released from the darkness after counting to a certain number.

2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29...

Finally, the first prisoner was released after serving his sentence.

Jin, who possessed a body gifted with the ability to survive in any environment, first regained his senses, then, ignoring the others around him, immediately looked towards the sky.

The sunlight was a little dazzling...but it didn't affect him at all.

But a human-like figure grabbed his heart tightly!
Swish-!
The pitch-black wings spread out instantly, and Jhin burst out with a speed far beyond his limit, rushing into the sky and catching the figure steadily.

"Mr. Kaido!"

"Mr. Kaido!"

Blood continued to drip from Jin's fingers, and after a few seconds it fell into the sea water below, then was washed away by the current and completely merged into the entire ocean.

Kaido's hands... no, he no longer has hands.

Below the upper arm, there was only a short piece of flesh and bones twisted together.

The black mace that was originally held in his hand had long disappeared. Perhaps it was knocked into the sea, or perhaps it was directly smashed into countless pieces by Walder's fist... At present, it seems that the latter is more likely.

But what really worried Jin was not the arm or the mace, but Kaido's chest - there, the heart that was originally protected by dragon scales, flesh, and sternum was now exposed to the air with blood.

thump~
……

thump~
……

Is it still beating? It should still be beating...

Even with Jin's superhuman hearing, it was hard to tell that this was a beating sound. It was more like an unconscious trembling after all strength had been exhausted.

There is not a trace of vitality that life should have, only a powerless struggle that is about to come to an end.

slap~
Gently landing back on the ship, Jin carefully placed Kaido on the deck and began to call out loudly:
"Ship's doctor! Where's the ship's doctor?"

"..."

There was no response, and at this moment everyone on the boat was still trapped in the darkness of sensory deprivation.

Helpless, Jin had to rush directly into the infirmary... but the doctor inside had already been shocked and bleeding from all seven orifices, and had been dead for a long time.

A feeling of despair gradually crept into the heart of this young man from the Lunalia clan.
