"Go Down with This Old Era!"

"Kid..."

Steel Bone Kong's body began to crack under the pressure of Ronan's Haki, blood seeping from his aged skin.

He looked at Ronan and, using the last trace of his strength, sighed:

"If the Old Order of this Great Sea is destined to end... then I hope you can truly bring real change for a brand-new world..."

Yet, faced with this centenarian veteran's dying "entrustment" and self-indulgent sentimentality, not even a trace of pity or emotion flickered in Ronan's eyes.

Instead, a cold, cruel sneer filled with absolute contempt curled across Ronan's lips.

"Don't stand there and preach hypocritically!"

Ronan's voice was like a blade steeped in Nine Nether Cold Ice, mercilessly piercing through Steel Bone Kong's self-righteous mask of hypocrisy:

"You think your compromises were noble? You think your concessions bought peace?"

"A coward like you, who flatters the powerful, protects himself, and hesitates at every turn for the sake of the so-called 'greater good'!"

"Not only are you not a defender of peace in this world, you are an accomplice who enabled the Celestial Dragons' evil—the greatest cancer that allowed this world to rot to its very bones!!!"

Killing intent surged in Ronan's scarlet eyes as the Eighteen-Foot Spear in his hand erupted with its final and most violent Black-Red Thunder!

"Take your pathetic compromises and go down with this Old Era—DIE!!!"

BOOM!!!

There was no suspense whatsoever.

Under Steel Bone Kong's shocked and bewildered gaze, Ronan's Eighteen-Foot Spear crushed the last remnants of Armament Haki around Steel Bone Kong's fist in an instant!

PFFT!!!

A dull sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh resounded through the sky.

The cold, pitch black spear tip shot through Steel Bone Kong's chest like lightning without the slightest resistance, precisely piercing his once violently beating heart in a single strike!
