National Weapon, Yurivich

There are many strange things at sea.

And this madman was undoubtedly one of them.

Addicted to killing.

It had reached the point of being terminally ill.

Shiryu of the Rain is also this kind of person, only the madman pursues something simpler and more brutal, not targeting any specific group of people... he simply enjoys the thrill and pleasure of killing.

There are also some One Piece who admire or enjoy violence, such as Lafitte of the Blackbeard Pirates, who was once a security officer of a kingdom in the West Blue. He often harms and tortures others, resorting to extreme punishments... He is similar to a madman, only their 'points' are somewhat different.

This personality trait isn't a flaw; in fact, considering his identity as One Piece, it might even be a kind of 'talent'.

I can feel your thirst.

"Come aboard my ship, become One Piece, and I can make you stronger... hunt prey that will satisfy you even more."

Oboro continued to extend invitations.

The man remained silent.

"I am..."

Seeing this, Long leaned close to his ear and whispered, "God Slayer."

Upon hearing these three words, the madman's expression changed drastically.

The body, suppressed by the airflow, began to tremble uncontrollably, seemingly due to excitement.

On the high seas today, no one is unaware of the God Slayer. And everyone knows what the words "God Slayer" represent... Killing Celestial Dragons is a major thorn in the side of the World Government and the Navy, leading to a life of high-intensity escape. Add to that his status being coveted by the Yonko, and the fact that all forces are watching his every move... this means that once he boards their ship, he will face endless 'challenges,' and the battle will never cease.

The madman had consistently refused because while there were many One Piece active in the North Blue, most were not worthy of his attention and could not provide the life he desired. In contrast, helping the kingdom conquer other island nations and engaging in wars actually satisfied his basic 'needs'.

But if it's God Slayer, then it's a different story.

A villain who dared to kill even Celestial Dragons —that's right up his alley! After all, he's the only one he knows of...

Even the Yonko couldn't achieve that.

The madman glanced at Dom, clearly recognizing him as the Cunning Fox.

As for Dorans, he simply ignored him.

"Yurivich".

The man uttered a name.

"Okay, Yuri... welcome to the Hell Pirates."

Long smiled, withdrew the magic, restored his freedom, and then said, "Then... let's kill your king first."

"No problem."

Yuri raised his greatsword, slung it over his shoulder, and grinned.

The two sides hit it off immediately.

For Yurivich, as long as his needs are met, his identity is irrelevant.

The war has come to an end. Originally, Oboro planned to return to the capital, have the Skan Kingdom make some preparations, and then send troops to the enemy country to launch a counterattack and seize territory. But now, he has changed his mind. While Yuri is still in high spirits, he plans to go directly to the enemy country.

Oboro instructed the soldiers to take Dorans back for treatment first, and then he, Dom, and Yuri walked towards the sea to set sail alone for battle.

Three people.

Upon hearing this, the Squadron Leader promptly reported the situation to the King of the Skan Kingdom using Den Den Mushi), but did not stop it.

Because he couldn't stop it. Judging from the incredible fighting power that Oboro displayed, it was entirely possible for him to destroy a royal city all by himself.

That is indeed the case.

With Yuri leading the way and Dom's abilities, the three of them easily entered the royal city of the country called Ice Island and appeared in the royal palace, beginning a massacre. Dom's ability allows him to bypass all defense systems and teleport directly to single targets or groups over short distances, making it extremely convenient.

The Ice Island is a unique country with a peculiar environment. Located in the far north of the North Blue, it is extremely cold and perpetually covered in snow... its coordinates are almost identical to those of the well-known Frost Harbor in the North Blue. The island is devoid of vegetation, instead dotted with mountains formed by glaciers, making it a nation built on glaciers. Its scarcity of resources necessitates constant expansion and the conquest of other countries... and the unique climate and environment have endowed its soldiers with exceptional endurance and survivability.

This also fostered a warlike character and physical prowess in people.

Yurivich is a prime example.

Along the route from Ice Island to the Skan Kingdom, they occupied several small countries... This gives you an idea of their influence.

The people here wear furs to keep warm, and even the city's residents carry weapons with them.

At first, Oboro didn't take these residents seriously... but he soon discovered that everyone here, regardless of age or gender, could be considered a 'warrior'. In other words, the only way to truly destroy the Ice Island was to massacre the entire city! Kill everyone.

Yuri had clearly anticipated this; this was his homeland.

So... while the three of them were fighting the soldiers inside the palace, he also showed no mercy in killing the endless stream of ordinary civilians who rushed past.

The broadsword whistled through the wind, leaving a trail of crimson blood and bits of flesh on the ground behind him.

This massacre of the city, started by three people, lasted for a full day and night.

They were not only dealing with the army, but also with the people in the city.

There were too many people... there were people moving around everywhere.

It wasn't until Oboro and his two companions relentlessly slaughtered the survivors, completely shattering their will to live, that some finally began to flee in panic.

Long didn't actually take much action; he was more focused on examining the country.

However, the fact that the battle was ended so quickly was largely due to his use of wide-range killing techniques. Otherwise, Yuri and Dom alone could have easily worn them down with sheer numbers.

In a war-torn sea like the North Blue, the ability to maintain national stability for a long time and to take the initiative to attack other sides must be exceptional.

Although they are still of human blood, the people of this Ice Island kingdom are undoubtedly a warrior race.

After a long while, under the cover of night.

Long stood alone at the main gate of the royal palace.

The surrounding buildings were in ruins, a scene of utter devastation.

His suit remained intact, undamaged and unstained, and he still looked as elegant as a gentleman.

Dragging his broadsword across the ground, his entire body was covered in blood that was almost muddy, making his face unrecognizable... Yurivich, who looked exactly like a god of death, slowly walked over from not far away where corpses lay everywhere.

With a flash of black shadow, Dom appeared beside him.

He plopped down on the steps.

I'm so tired.

"It's been confirmed. There are no survivors within the entire palace grounds."

Dom collapsed to the ground in a starfish position.

The bandages that had been tightly wrapped around his body had all come loose...

Don't you feel guilty?

Long glanced at him and curled the corners of her lips.

Killing so many people is something not everyone can bear.

"This is such a small matter... it's not worth it."

Dom chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Hehe."

Long smiled.

Dom has also grown up, and without realizing it, he has undergone tremendous changes.

If he hadn't met me, he might still be a small-time 'One Piece' by now.

"The person is inside."

Looking at Yuri approaching, Oboro gave a thumbs-up and pointed to the main hall behind him.

He specifically left it for Yuri.

The man didn't say a word, but simply stepped into the hall with his sword.

"Yurivich, you traitor!"

"You..."

Immediately, Oboro and Dom heard curses and indignation coming from inside the hall, but the sound stopped abruptly after only one shout, accompanied by an explosion.

Long turned his head and saw that the king's corpse, along with the chair he was sitting on, had been cleaved in two by a single stroke.

"Trash, I've wanted to kill you for a long time."

Looking at the king who had died by the sword, Yuri revealed a wicked and cruel smile.

He didn't like being restrained, but this guy, relying on his status as king, had suppressed and disciplined him quite a bit before. If it weren't for the thrill of war, Yuri would have been unable to suppress his killing intent even without joining the Hell Pirates.

"Is it over..."

Dom, who was lying on the ground, forced himself to get up, glanced back at Yuri, who walked out of the hall with a frightening appearance, and said, "You were really quick to act. I thought you two would exchange pleasantries... Even if you're not kings, you're at least friends, right?"

"I don't make friends with trash."

Yuri chuckled coldly and took the lead, walking at the very front.

"Has a strong personality."

Dom gave him a thumbs-up as he walked away.

Immediately afterwards, the three left the country that was about to be removed from the list of countries in North Blue.
