Seeing Apophis appear, everyone grew somewhat restless.
After all, this Four Emperor was renowned for his ruthless strength!
He had finally appeared... Marco felt somewhat heavyhearted, but after calming himself, he asked, "Apophis, what do you mean by this?"
"Apophis" gripped the blood-red Demon Sword in his hand and said coldly, "The Tremor-Tremor Fruit was put up for auction by me. Now you want to take it without paying anything. Where do you think you're going to get such a good deal?"
Marco answered solemnly, "We can give you those ten billion Beli as well!"
Apophis's eyes were cold and unmoved. "Why should I believe that you, who are about to be hunted down by the Marines, can produce ten billion Beli?"
Jozu, who was examining Namul's injuries, could not help asking, "Then what do you want?"
"It's very simple!" A calm voice came from beneath the Ghoul Mask. "Become my subordinates!"
Marco took a deep breath and firmly refused. "Sorry, there's no chance of that happening!"
Hearing Marco's answer, Apophis remained silent, but blood mist began to seep from the ancient patterns on the Seven Star Sword.
"You've chosen a path that isn't very wise!"
"Perhaps, but it's the right path!"
The instant his words fell, "Apophis" wielded the Demon Sword and slashed at everyone.
Two years ago, spurred on by Koshiro's desperate battle to the death, Kuina's strength had already been just a step away from that of a Four Emperor. After these two years, she had completely adapted to the explosive power brought about by hatred and despair.
Combined with the boost from transforming through the Nine-Tailed Fox Fruit and the power of the Seven Star Sword lent by Longinus, she was already strong enough in this state to live up to the title of Four Emperor!
