The Inevitable Ending: A Great Purge
Apart from those who already knew about it, everyone else—whether it was the civilians watching the footage or the soldiers on the battlefield—was at a loss for words.
My mind went blank, as if countless flies were buzzing around me.
Even the warriors of the Christie Kingdom, who had already learned that reinforcements would be arriving, had not yet realized that the so-called reinforcements were a pirate, and a Great Pirate.
Now they only had one question: Why was the Dark Emperor on the battlefield? Why did he come to Saint Louis Island?
Looking at Teach floating in the air, their bodies trembled uncontrollably.
Even from afar, the aura emanating from Teach instilled fear in them.
Furthermore, as Teach descended and the distance closed, this feeling intensified.
"Gulp!" "Gulp!"
Their hearts were pounding, and they were sweating profusely; in no time, their clothes were soaked through.
They instinctively wanted to run away, but found that their bodies were immobile, they couldn't move their feet, and they couldn't control their bodies.
This is Teach's entrance. He is consciously controlling his aura. Compared to the allied forces of the three countries, the army of the Christie Kingdom, as an ally, is undoubtedly in much better condition.
After all, what if they were terrified? What would happen to the war? Victory on the battlefield was only the first step. The next step was to conquer the territories of the three kingdoms and subdue them. This army would still be needed.
Teach's intimidating presence was even greater than before; even through the live broadcast, Teach instilled a deep sense of fear before he even made a move.
Such an entrance was not glamorous, but it was deeply moving. As the future master of Saint Louis Island, it was necessary for him to leave a lasting impression on his future people.
Looking down over the entire battlefield, Teach turned his gaze toward the allied forces of the three nations. He didn't want to waste any more time; the war had already ended by the time he arrived.
Teach's eyes glared at him with a cold and domineering gaze.
A terrifying Conqueror's Haki was released from Teach's body, and the invisible aura rapidly spread outwards, covering the entire battlefield in the blink of an eye.
Thanks to Teach's precise control, Teach Conqueror's Haki did not affect the Christie Kingdom's army.
Conqueror's Haki, like an abyss that seemed to devour everything, descended in an instant.
The terrifying psychological impact directly stripped almost everyone of their consciousness.
The next moment, a breathtaking scene unfolded before everyone's eyes, including both the army and the citizens of the Christie Kingdom.
Because the live broadcast was conducted via some kind of flying device, the citizens of the Christie Kingdom could see it even more clearly from high above.
The allied forces of the three kingdoms formed a dense army of over a million men.
Time seemed to stand still; all of their bodies were frozen in place.
Immediately afterwards, millions of soldiers, one after another, group after group, fell to the ground, unconscious and deprived of consciousness.
Their well-prepared enemy, a massive army, was thus defeated.
This is the Dark Emperor's Conqueror's Haki, a terrifying aura. The people of the Christie Kingdom are no strangers to Conqueror's Haki. Being located in the New World and with the spread of images, they are very familiar with Conqueror's Haki.
However, when they actually witnessed Teach's Conqueror's Haki, they were still incredibly shocked.
The scene shifts to the army of the Christie Kingdom, who, surprisingly, were unaffected, unlike the allied forces of the three kingdoms.
Even the soldiers were somewhat puzzled; they were actually affected when Teach unleashed his Conqueror's Haki.
At that moment, they felt as if they had lost control of their bodies, as if they would die at any moment.
However, they were not affected by Teach's Conqueror's Haki's Haki.
Some soldiers have realized an unbelievable fact: the reinforcements their general told them about are very likely "Dark Emperor" Teach.
Some of the citizens of the Christie Kingdom who were watching the footage also realized this: Teach was not an enemy, but an ally.
Some people are still reeling from the horrific scene.
Teach looked at his accomplishment and couldn't help but smile. Then he looked towards the rear of the three-nation allied forces on the battlefield, raised an eyebrow, and realized that someone had actually withstood his Conqueror's Haki.
This terrifying mental impact was something even a general -Vice Admiral level expert would find difficult to withstand.
However, he also guessed who the only one who slipped through the net was: the commander-in-chief of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces, the Admiral, and also the strongest among the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces.
Inside a fortified camp at the rear, a man was panting heavily, his body leaning against the table in front of him, his face contorted in agony, as if he were enduring immense pain.
This is not a physical injury, but a psychological one. Compared to physical pain, psychological damage is far more despairing.
My brain felt like it was about to split open; even if I were to recover, it would be impossible without ten to fifteen days of sleep.
This man was the commander-in-chief of the three-nation allied forces, the Admiral. He gritted his teeth and endured the sudden mental shock.
His eyes were wide open and bloodshot, his mouth was open as he gasped for breath, and drool kept dripping from the corner of his mouth.
In contrast, those soldiers who lost consciousness directly fared much better; they only needed to sleep and a few days of rest to recover.
Sleep is the best way to restore energy; after waking up, I only felt slightly dizzy.
The intense pain drove him to the brink of madness, but as time passed, he regained some composure.
He didn't know what had happened, because only a short time had passed between Teach's appearance and the release of his Conqueror's Haki.
All around him, he saw figures falling one after another. The pain, almost etched into his brain, made him realize that it was over, they were finished. No matter what, they had lost this war.
This terrifying Conqueror's Haki suggests the appearance of an unimaginable enemy. Recalling the instinctive fear he felt before being attacked by Conqueror's Haki, he knew that an unimaginably terrifying enemy had appeared.
Before he could even get out, he had already lost his fighting ability due to that Conqueror's Haki.
Suddenly, he felt an invisible yet powerful force, as if it were pulling his body towards him.
He was powerless to resist; his body flew outwards.
This experience left him not only in pain but also somewhat bewildered. What had happened?
However, this experience gave him a vague sense of familiarity, a familiarity that filled him with fear.
It was as if he had seen this scene before, a scene that left a deep impression on him, but he couldn't recall it at the moment.
"Dark Water!"
Teach stretched out his right hand, which formed a claw shape. Black energy coiled around Teach's arm in his palm, forming a dark vortex that emitted a powerful dark gravitational pull.
Teach knew a little about the commander of the still-standing Three Kingdoms Alliance: he was a Devil Fruit user, Zoan -type Devil Fruit user in the form of an antelope. Although this ability didn't catch Teach's eye, it was better than nothing.
Moreover, this person was also a major instigator of the war and was on the kill list given to him by the Christie Kingdom.
The immense gravity of darkness drew his body in, causing him to slam into the fortress wall. In less than three seconds, the sturdy fortress could no longer withstand him, and his body smashed a large hole through it.
Far away, from behind, it flew rapidly towards Teach in the air.
As the Admiral gradually made out Teach's figure, his pupils contracted and his expression turned fearful.
He remembered; this was the power of "Dark Emperor" Teach —an irresistible dark gravity that was the bane of ability users.
Why? Why? The Dark Emperor appeared on the battlefield, pulled into the air by gravity. He saw countless fallen, unconscious warriors, as well as the warriors of the Christie Kingdom, whose fates were completely different.
He learned that "Dark Emperor" Teach had intervened in the war between kingdoms, and although he didn't know why, he had indeed sided with the Christie Kingdom; they were finished.
His body twitched, trying to struggle, but to no avail. His body transformed into Human-Beast Form in the air, with white wool growing on his body and a pair of curved horns on his head.
However, everything he did was in vain.
A large hand grabbed his neck and choked him tightly. The immense strength left him unable to resist. At the same time, Teach's strange abilities rendered him unable to use his powers, and his Human-Beast Form quickly reverted to its original shape.
Those terrified eyes met Teach's ruthless and domineering gaze, and he seemed to already see his own end.
Teach didn't give him any chance. Although Christie was a tough opponent for the Christie Kingdom, he was just a minor character in Teach's eyes.
With a single, forceful movement of his arm, he ended his life.
The next moment, a surge of black energy erupted, enveloping his already dead corpse and swallowing it into the Darkness Space.
At the same time, there is also the power of the Devil Fruit within him.
Even if the user dies, the power of the Devil Fruit will remain in the user's body for a short period of time and will not dissipate.
Having finished everything, Teach glanced back at the Christie Kingdom before leaving.
He didn't need to do anything extra; the war was over, and the Christie Kingdom had won.
After the soldiers of the three-nation alliance were unified on Saint Louis Island, they naturally became his subjects. Killing them would only provoke resentment from the residents of the three kingdoms.
Teach wasn't that stupid. Behind the massive army were countless families, the future inhabitants of the Christie Kingdom. There was no need for him to create trouble for himself.
Having witnessed Teach's overwhelming power, how could the people of the Christie Kingdom possibly harbor any thoughts of rebellion, especially since it was the Night Pirates who helped the Christie Kingdom unify Saint Louis Island?
Next, we'll see what the Christie Kingdom does, and what tasks the officials will be tasked with.
It took a long time for those present to come to their senses after watching Teach leave.
The general of the Christie Kingdom's army had received the orders from the palace well in advance, and after regaining his senses, he looked somewhat excited.
The allied forces of the three kingdoms have already been defeated; now, no one can stop the army of the Christie Kingdom.
"Leave behind 200,000 troops and capture the soldiers of the three-nation allied forces."
"The rest of the army will launch a full-scale attack, divided into three routes, to conquer the three kingdoms and reclaim the lost territories!"
The general's voice rang out through the loudspeaker, reaching the entire battlefield.
The soldiers were somewhat bewildered. Had the war really been won just like that? But it truly was.
As the general's voice rang out, everyone calmed down, followed by immense excitement.
The words of conquering three kingdoms and reclaiming lost territory exploded like bombs, filling them with immense power.
The citizens of the Christie Kingdom, watching the footage, felt the same way; it was undoubtedly exciting news.
They weren't stupid; they guessed that the royal palace and the Night Pirates might have some kind of cooperation, which was what the king had told them through this live broadcast.
Nothing is more exciting than a victorious war, one that has not caused many deaths.
Soon, the massive army began to move, and the defenses painstakingly built by the three kingdoms were rendered useless and easily toppled.
Then, apart from a portion of the soldiers guarding the unconscious prisoners of war, the rest of the army split into three groups and stormed into the heart of the Three Kingdoms.
This war has already gathered the vast majority of the armies from the three kingdoms. How many troops remain within the kingdoms? How can they possibly withstand the massive army of the Christie Kingdom?
Moreover, Teach's Conqueror's Haki completely prevented any news from getting out; at this time, none of the three kingdoms had received the news.
Within the kingdom, apart from the main areas, most regions were completely undefended. The entry of hundreds of thousands of troops into the kingdom was like a pack of wolves entering a sheepfold.
Furthermore, the three kingdoms are still in turmoil! The Night Pirates' officers have already made their move, and their overwhelming strength is something they simply cannot withstand. With their combined inside and outside forces, the entire situation is already set, and there is no way for them to turn the tide.
The royal palace of the Sail Kingdom was littered with corpses, and blood flowed across the ground like a stream.
The entire royal city was in chaos, as news had spread that the royal family had been wiped out, key ministers had been killed one after another, and a demon had entered the palace.
Amidst the corpses, Lafitte stood alone, holding a blood-stained staff-sword. An excited yet eerie smile graced the sword. Compared to his surroundings, he appeared like a Gentleman, aloof and independent, without a trace of blood on his body.
The next moment, huge, dark red bat wings unfurled from his back, transforming into a streak of blood-red light, unleashing another wave of carnage.
In the royal palace of the Locke Kingdom, sharp bone spikes pierced the bodies of guards one by one. The royal family had long been slaughtered by this devilish boy.
Kaguya was like a killing machine, her expression unchanging, transforming into an executioner, relentlessly slaughtering her targets.
Having resolved all his objectives within the palace, he quietly walked outside.
The guards stood there, none daring to stop them, and it was pointless now, since the royal family had been destroyed.
In the palace of the Moor Kingdom, Shiryu's ghostly figure pierced through the bodies of others, his eyes flashing with a bloodthirsty and excited light.
Upon learning of this mission, Shiryu volunteered and arrived at the capital of the Moor Kingdom early to await orders.
He became a nightmare for others, relentlessly reaping lives.
In addition, the elusive Nelson, the silent Pito, and Xiouyapufu are all also hunting their own targets.
These goals are not all located in the palace or the capital city.
Meanwhile, news of the kingdoms' defeats arrived simultaneously in various parts of the three kingdoms. Amid the chaos, the Christie Kingdom's spies also launched a massive purge within the three kingdoms.
