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

Being defeated by a few humans who are only at level four of the Light Realm is embarrassing, but what's face worth anyway?

If we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave!

……

after a while.

'Sakazuki has spotted two five-light demons and is leading an attack?'

Figo and the other kings had just established contact with the Capri headquarters when they received the news. Figo shook his head and said, "They're hiding in the Hilo Sea. I even passed by that location with my fishing lantern."

The mental network is never at its maximum capacity.

He noticed that Roger and Rayleigh looked slightly off after hearing the news. Turning to look at them, Rayleigh said, "Ace, Luffy and those kids happen to be training on a nearby deserted island. We two might have been neighbors with the demon race for almost a year."

Roger laughed heartily: "Really..."

"This matter..." Figo opened the prison file and glanced at it, then said, "It seems they've already gone. Don't worry, with their strength and Sakazuki around, there won't be any problems."

"Hmm, Kizaru, go check on them... no, never mind, I don't have time for them right now."

The two remaining five-light kings of the demon race are merely a minor nuisance; finding Lucifer is far more important now. And after finding Lucifer, he will need to borrow Kizaru's speed to travel.

If Lucifer were to be resurrected and land in Capri and the Holy Demon Castle without anyone noticing, it would bring disaster. However, the two five-lamp demons would be no match for the forces there.

Figo is very experienced in finding people.

He had also made some preparations for this day, and he had deliberately left some of the events involving the kings present ununlocked.

In this scenario, they can easily generate events where the character finds Lucifer.

To increase the success rate, Figo said to the kings, "I can find Lucifer, but I need your help. Silently repeat the phrase 'find Lucifer' in your hearts."

Everyone was surprised and did as instructed.

After waiting for two minutes, Figo began to activate the pending character events one by one.

Just release one about Lucifer.

……

"Tch, one got away."

Standing on the ground, where molten lava rippled like a scene from hell, Akainu stomped on the charred remains of Torrine, biting his lip in resentment.

"Damn it, they got away." Luffy was also full of frustration and disappointment.

The achievement of defeating the Five Lantern King was not accomplished; he only punched that guy twice. The one who died had nothing to do with him; he was killed by Akainu and the demon sister who arrived shortly after them.

Yana stared at the charred remains for a while, the harsh curses of Torine before her death still echoing in her ears. She was actually not very willing to participate in the battle against the demons, although she didn't care much about the demons' misunderstanding and insults about her identity.

"Alright, I'm going back now. The merchant guild still needs me," she said to Akainu.

Akainu nodded to her, a rare hint of gratitude flashing across his face, but it vanished in an instant. For someone as serious as him, showing even a little gratitude out of respect for Figo was already quite generous.

At this moment, another naval commander flashed over to report: "Admiral Sakazuki, the remaining demon race has been wiped out. Two four-lamp demons escaped, but the rest have all been killed."

In addition, we also found this group of 74 young demons and brought them here.

For the demon race now, the old and weak have long been abandoned and are no longer cared for; those left behind, besides the warriors, are only children.

After all, for a race to continue, it cannot do without new blood.

Therefore, each demon race would basically bring a legion of young children. After the demon race was wiped out, these young children would be captured and slowly screened to see if any of them were children who had been transformed from humans. The rest would then be put on trial.

The number of teenagers hiding near a typical demon army usually ranges from dozens to thousands, so 74 this time is considered very small.

Yana, who was about to leave, paused slightly as she looked at the small faces filled with hatred that were being escorted over. The sense of temporal dislocation suddenly reminded her of the Starry Sky Demon Clan from the past.

However... the situation is a little different.

In the seven thousand years of war, the demon race has shown no mercy to the children of the human race, so now no one has the right to persuade the human race to be lenient. In a war of annihilation, ruthlessness is also necessary.

"Why bring them here?" Sakazuki replied, "The demon army led by the Five Kings of the Demon Race cannot possibly have any human children transformed; they are all pure demons."

The scorching magma rolled across his fist again.

Yana's eyes twitched.

Several sailors turned their heads away in disapproval.

Luffy, who was standing not far away, stared wide-eyed and muttered, "Hey, what are you doing?"

A massive fireball!

The lava surged forth, casting a terrifying image onto those small faces filled with hatred!

Just as the lava was about to engulf the demon children, a figure suddenly flashed in front of them and swung his arm to disperse the lava!

"Hmm?" Akainu frowned. "Monkey D. Luffy, why are you getting in my way?"

Luffy, still somewhat bewildered, instinctively teleported to block them: "No, why, these children..."

He turned around and gestured to a little demon girl who was no taller than his waist; the little girl's eyes were filled with tears of fear.

"Wasn't my explanation sufficient? They are all pure demons; no need for further investigation, execute them on the spot." Akainu said, "Get out of the way."

Luffy stood still.

Ace and the others exchanged glances.

The atmosphere became somewhat solemn.

Gion stepped forward and said, "General Sakazuki, let's take these children back for further evaluation, just in case..."

She gave Akainu a way out, but if he took it, he wouldn't be Akainu. Looking at Luffy's expression, he snorted disapprovingly, "Immature brat! Can't you sense the malice emanating from these demons? Do you think they'll be grateful to you just because you saved them? Get out of the way!"

His expression carried a warning, clearly indicating that if Luffy blocked his way again, his attack would engulf Luffy as well. This warning was only given because Luffy and his crew had helped him.

Luffy lowered his head for a moment, then quickly raised it again.

"do not want!"

"Little brat..."

"I know they might be pure demons like you said, and I know they could be dangerous if I let them go, but I don't want to give way! Absolutely not!" Luffy instead showed a bright smile: "Sorry, Ace, Zoro, Chef, and Kaisa."

"What can we do? We've got a spoiled little brother." Ace smiled and silently stood next to Luffy, as have the others.

They adopted a stance to confront Akainu!

There was a slight commotion in the Star Legion, Akainu's expression darkened, and the surrounding air temperature rose.

Yana looked at Luffy and spoke.

“I’ve heard that the high-ranking naval officers in Qinghai all have their own sense of justice, and Figo’s justice is ‘willfulness and doing whatever he wants.’ Is this child like him?”

"How can an ignorant brat compare to Lord Figo?!" Akainu was even more furious.

A surging wave of lava swept across the area!

"General Sakazuki!" Exclamations echoed. They'd actually made a move.

After many twists and turns, just as the lava was rolling down, another figure suddenly appeared and punched away Akainu's slightly more serious attack.

"Hehehe... Since you're having trouble, I'll take these children with me!"

"Huh?!" Akainu's expression darkened further as he looked at the pale-faced, scholar-like man who had suddenly appeared before him. He grunted, "Who are you...?"

……

Meanwhile, Orslu, who was fleeing alone, had a gloomy face and was in low spirits when he was suddenly stopped by a bewitching demon with purple eyes.

His expression turned wary, and he seemed momentarily dazed.

"...The King? It really is?!"

……

[Character Event 2 (Activated): Have Bambri find or find Lucifer, the Demon King, to inform Figo, the King of the Stars!]

Having activated five character events, Figo successfully obtained guidance on Lucifer's location.

It has to be Bambri who does her job well.

He mentally praised himself and started looking for a way.

Hmm, so it has indeed recovered?

Hmm? This direction...

Chapter 398 King versus King

"You are... Demon General Apollo!"

After staring at the pale-faced, scholarly-looking man in front of him for a few seconds, Akainu's expression grew even more gloomy.

Those around them who were still worried about the conflict between Akainu and Luffy were also drawn to this newcomer.

"Apollo?"

"It's that guy!"

This Apollo is a guy who has only appeared in the last year. He looks like a gentle and refined human, but he has taken action in many places and rescued many demon children. During this time, he has also fought with several dukes and demonstrated his great strength. Each time, he retreated calmly and even managed to rescue some of them.

Humans believe that Apollo is one of Lucifer's demon generals, and the strongest known demon remaining in this era!

It's even stronger than those two five-light kings.

"Hahaha, you're wrong. I'm not some kind of demon general. I'm just like these guys, I can't stand seeing innocent children die needlessly."

"quibble!"

Akainu didn't waste any words, and he was finally able to vent the anger he had been building up on Luffy and his crew.

The magma giant rose into the air, causing the surrounding air to boil. Some members of the Star Legion quickly retreated, while Apollo feigned a helpless expression: "Zehahaha, it seems we have no choice but to fight. Those kids, take care of the children for me!"

The giant fist of lava crushed down.

Apollo reached out and pushed.

Fire and meteors splattered in all directions! A dazzling seven-colored light shone at the point where the two collided, and the seabed that had been dried up and turned into land was once again swept away by the shock wave and shattered!

Amidst the surging impact and expansion, only a few people managed to remain in place, while the two at the center of the collision did not retreat an inch.

Luffy and his crew worked together to transport the 74 demon children backward, blocking the impact. Ace looked somewhat strange and puzzled, and when he met Kuina's gaze, he found that she was doing the same.

"That guy's laughter..."
