I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

In the distant sea, as his subordinates and confidants fell one by one to Figo's fists, the Holy Demon King's old face grew increasingly black, like charcoal.

What are you doing? Why are you bullying the younger generation?

Oh, I've been bullied by him too.

That's fine.

If it weren't for the good impression Figo had left on him during their previous two encounters, he would have suspected that if he didn't agree to help today, Figo and the Skeleton Emperor would kill him in the sea.

Just then, the Skeleton King suddenly said to him, "What would you do if I told you that if you don't change your mind today, Figo and I would eliminate you, this destabilizing factor and useless piece of trash?"

The Holy Demon King's heart skipped a beat. He paused for a moment before scoffing, "Trying to fool me? The King of the Stars is not some treacherous skeleton like you!"

Skeleton King: "So... what was your first reaction just now?"

First reaction? The Holy Demon King remained silent.

His first reaction was that if such a thing really happened, he would fight the Skeleton Emperor and the King of the Stars even if it meant his death!

Giving in? Don't you have any shame?

"You are a demon, and a demon general of Lucifer, but you are also the first man to stand up against Lucifer's return to rule. You have never been one to fear threats, and in our battle, I have confirmed that your Conqueror's Haki is still formidable!" said the Skeleton Emperor.

"Baal, you are a king!"

"Figo said he killed two 'you' when he faced the Spirit of the Light. Do you think those two 'you' knew anything about the Spirit of the Light in their time?"

Since they were able to light six lamps, it's highly likely they've discovered something!

"So no matter what, when that day comes, you will still fight for your people, for your wife, and for yourself! So why don't you prepare more than ten years in advance, awaken more than ten years in advance!"

The Holy Demon King remained silent, deep in thought.

The towering waves gradually subsided.

Two kings stood facing each other on the sea.

After a long silence, the Holy Demon King chuckled: "You're quite the talker, old skeleton. But if you had tried to reason with me from the beginning, I might have been moved. Instead, you chose to provoke me first!"

You think you're so smart? Forget everything else, today I'm going to smash your ugly skull to pieces!

He clasped his fists together in the center, and a loud, resonant thud spread outwards, followed by a bizarre, repetitive motion.

One sound after another, like drums beating in unison, like thunder rolling, the air was shaken and repelled, and the sunlight was dissolved by the power. Every part of the Holy Demon King was trembling!

The Skeleton King's pupils shrank slightly.

The Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Skull form, gave him an incredibly strong skeleton. Even after his body lights went out when he turned into a skeleton, it didn't significantly affect his performance.

But that's not all there is to the fruit.

He can also manipulate everyone's bones!

He can transform into a necromancer, manipulating millions of skeletons, but that only has intimidation value and no real strength. His most common method of using his ability is to infiltrate and manipulate the bones of his opponents during battle, weakening or dislocating them!

The weak may even suffer fatal injuries, with their bones shattering and their internal organs being pierced.

Meanwhile, during the two repeated clashes, the Holy Demon King clearly felt his bones vibrate, and the sealing power of the demon race was seeping inward to prevent his abilities.

This means that the Holy Demon King is serious!

hum-

With his massive body pressing down, the Holy Demon King's right fist was imbued with a red and black light, as if flames were rolling around it, breaking through the darkness and striking towards the light!

Skeleton Emperor parried the punch with his bone blade, and a deafening shockwave erupted, instantly clearing the seawater beneath their feet!

The seabed is exposed in tiered cliffs, and the two kings are surrounded by dazzling aurora borealis. A rainbow hangs in the sky, with alternating black and white colors.

The Skeleton Emperor's power tentatively seeped into the Holy Demon King's body.

The Holy Demon King's lips curled slightly.

repeat!

Without repeating the previous action, he directly repeated the shock effect on his bones caused by slamming his arm against his own body a hundred times!

Not only did it dispel the penetrating influence of the Skeleton Emperor's power, it also amplified the vibrations of the fists that collided with the Skeleton Emperor's.

The force became strange.

then……

Repeat - oscillating 100-step elbow strike!

Crack—the bone blade shattered, and the Skeleton Emperor was sent flying backward.

……

On the coast.

Figo had now bound 23 cocoons, including 4 five-lamp ones and 19 four-lamp ones. He had wiped out most of the high-level combat power of the Holy Demon Clan. He took note of two of them with exceptionally high crime indexes and piled them at the bottom of the pit.

Seeing that no one else was coming and there was nothing left to capture, Figo sat on the beach and watched the two fighting in the distance.

The Holy Demon King's ability is quite interesting. It is clearly a support ability, which is perfect for high-intensity training and cultivation. However, the Holy Demon King has developed it in another direction. Figo even suspects that he will use this ability for some rather improper purposes.

The Skeleton Emperor's abilities seem to be similar. Apart from giving him an unknown lifespan limit and bones to replace his physical body, he doesn't have many other effects and isn't particularly outstanding. As a Mythical Zoan type Human-Human Fruit user, he's not even as good as Sengoku's Buddha.

These two are quite similar. In terms of ability, they are far less destructive than Beli's Yang-Yang Fruit, nor as troublesome as Blue Flavor's Borrow-Borrow Fruit. However, their outstanding individual abilities make up for everything. With their immense power, even the simplest moves are beyond the reach of ordinary kings.

"Hmm, it seems like they're getting serious now."

The bone fragments splattered by the Skeleton Emperor and the bloodstains at the corner of the Holy Demon King's mouth made Figo sit up slightly and focus his attention even more intently.

One hour, two hours.

The fierce battle continues, with both sides evenly matched.

"The brightest lights are comparable, both at level six, with a power level of 830 to 850 million, but in a battle like this, Barreru is likely to lose."

Figo made his judgment.

The two abilities of the Holy Demon King gave him a huge advantage. As for the difference between the original six lamps and five lamps, it was not a big difference because the Holy Demon King was completely unfamiliar with weapons and one of the lamps could fly.

The two gradually started to really fight!

The game had gone from a back-and-forth tactic of advancing and retreating to a standstill, as if both sides were determined to seize this opportunity to determine the relative strengths of the God of Light and the Emperor.

Figo watched, then suddenly smiled.

"It's not good to hurt the harmony."

His figure suddenly transformed into a fish, diving into the seawater, and Figo quietly approached the battlefield.

The two, locked in fierce combat, had no time to pay attention to Figo's movements. Fists and kicks clashed at supersonic speed between the Saint Demon King's massive body and huge skeleton, and dangerous energy gathered between them until it exploded with a bang!

The surging shockwave flattens the ocean, but a fish swims against the current!

The Holy Demon King, who spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward, and the giant skeleton with its sternum collapsing, both noticed Figo's high-speed approach at the same time. But at the same moment, two chains wrapped around their bodies with lightning speed and pulled them back!

Just as they were pushed back by the impact, they were pulled back by the powerful force. Even they couldn't help but lose their balance for a moment!

When things stabilized again, the two were already very close to Figo from two directions, and saw Figo's fists, which were imbued with terrifying power, coming at them from both sides!

What is this?! The Holy Demon King stared wide-eyed.

Why are they even attacking me?! The Skeleton Emperor was bewildered.

The situation was urgent, and seeing that Figo showed no sign of holding back, the two immediately launched a full-scale attack!

Chapter 380 Naval Reinforcements

It wasn't that he was persuaded by the Skeleton Emperor, nor was he intimidated by Figo's power. A king like the Holy Demon King, who has held the position of the strongest on Mars for six hundred years, may seem carefree on the surface, but deep down he still possesses a certain arrogance.

Most importantly, he himself regretted it.

If he had known someone like Figo would appear, he would have started preparing six hundred years ago, okay?

He assessed his own strength and felt there was no possibility of resistance, which is why he started to give up.

He actually regretted it a little after meeting Figo for the first time, but he couldn't say that he would be convinced and follow him to save the world as soon as he met him.

I should at least be reserved and think it over, and wait for you to take the initiative to invite me.

This step is quite good, and it even taught the Skeleton Emperor a lesson—although the two didn't reach a decisive victory due to Figo's intervention, he felt that the Skeleton Emperor would have a better understanding of the gap in skill.

So after giving a reluctant reply, he quickly reverted to his usual demeanor and said, "Why don't you come sit at my place first? We'll have a drink together later. Oh, it seems you're too old for that."

Anyway, I have to go back first. Star King, why are you bullying those juniors? My city is probably in complete chaos right now.

“I won’t drink,” Figo refused. “Barreru, I’ve already told a few high-ranking members of the Starry Sky about the secrets of the Spirit of Light during my trip back to the Starry Sky. Now our Qinghai Navy and various forces are integrating their manpower. It is expected that in three to five days, one powerful legion after another will be stationed on the Starry Sky. We need to go back to provide support.”

Figo had told the Skeleton King about this before he went back, and the Skeleton King unsurprisingly agreed.

"A large number of people are coming from the starry sky? They really seem determined to make a big splash." The Holy Demon King muttered to himself, then said, "Alright then, you all go first. I'll consider it for a few days and give you an answer."

Taking a few days to consider it was his last act of stubbornness.

Figo played along, saying, "Then hopefully we'll get some good news. By the way, if you've been following my intelligence, you know my chains can distinguish between good and evil. Two of your men have some issues; you can investigate them yourself."

"A problem?" The Holy Demon King was taken aback, then his old face quickly darkened: "Which two?"

……

There are always parasites everywhere. It's just a few things. One of the two high-crime Holy Demon Clan members secretly contacted the Demon Clan and repeatedly orchestrated accidents such as shipwrecks that killed talented Holy Demon Clan children, secretly sending them to the Demon Clan to be trained into emotionless war machines.

Another one established the largest underground casino and arena in Holy Demon City, forcing many Holy Demons to lose their families and lives. Despite repeated attempts to eradicate him, he has never been caught. If Figo hadn't happened to run into him this time, who knows how long he could have remained hidden.

After the Holy Demon King angrily dealt with the two men, he lost all interest in drinking with Figo. Figo and the Skeleton Emperor then embarked on their journey back to the capital of Capri.

On the way, Figo casually activated the character events for the Holy Demon King and the Skeleton Emperor.

The Holy Demon King... well, as expected.

The first event was marrying Asmodia, a half-demon princess, and the second event was marrying Yana.

The Skeleton King, on the other hand, is much more serious.

First, to annihilate the Demon Clan of the Fire Star; second, to resolve the crisis brought about by the Spirit of the Fire Star.

Figo was not disappointed; his event two clearly pointed him to the Spirit of the Light, meaning Figo no longer needed to find it through rituals!

According to a rough count, there are 117 planets in the sky that are roughly the same size as the six stars that the sun went out, including Qinghai.

There are 14 stars that are significantly larger than them, including the giant star.

If it gets any bigger, it will be the only one, Tianlong Star.
