444 White Ghost Dies, Alastair Appears
The dark black sphere was Rediat's Shadow Domain. The White Ghost, weakened and with few remaining Decoy Ghost, was now like a trapped beast.
However, it wasn't a struggle, but a fight to survive, in order to hold out for as long as possible.
The White Ghost's face was visibly older, and his breath was weak, as if he were about to die.
But White Ghost repeatedly evaded Rediat's attacks. After fighting Rediat for so long, White Ghost had also figured out Rediat's abilities.
His intuition told him that to deal with Rediat's attack, he had to abandon distractions and fight on instinct, so as to prevent Rediat from predicting his attack in advance.
However, his aged body still had very little instinct left. Three days was not a long time, and his current state could be described as a final burst of energy before death.
Facing death head-on, single-mindedly, the spiritual transformation elevated the White Ghost's Observation Haki, but it was his final moment.
It's a real shame; this only allowed him to live a little longer in Rediat's hands.
Rediat transformed into a shadow, sinking into the space of the Shadow Domain he traversed and leaped.
Facing the White Ghost's ghostly sea, he charged straight in. By now, he had eliminated the White Ghost's two Decoy Ghost, who were also the White Ghost's last two lives.
The White Ghost is troublesome now, but he's only troublesome; he's just delaying his death a little.
"Ghostly Spark Celebration!" White Ghost said calmly, as countless ghosts erupted from his body, truly enveloping the entire ghost sea in the four directions of the sky.
It includes not only explosion ghosts, but also emotion ghosts, all sorts of ghosts.
As soon as Rediat appears and touches the Explosive Ghost, the Explosive Ghost will explode instantly, triggering a chain reaction. Rediat, who is hit by the explosion, will certainly not be able to turn into a shadow immediately.
At that time, all these emotional ghosts will flood into Rediat's body.
"A fearless struggle," Rediat sneered.
He naturally knew what White Ghost was thinking, but such a powerful person was likely to have methods to fight to the death.
He naturally wouldn't rush to kill the White Ghost; the White Ghost's death was only a matter of time.
The closer it gets to the end, the more important it is to remain stable.
Rediat transforms into a shadow, constantly moving among the ghosts.
While acting, use the Shadow Power to trigger these ghosts and detonate them in advance, while hiding yourself in the Shadow Space.
Explosions rang out continuously, and in the blink of an eye, White Ghost's attack was half broken by Rediat.
There were also those ethereal emotional ghosts, but they also greatly expanded Rediat's range of activity, making the ghost sea, which was originally crowded with ghosts, empty.
While the Emotional Ghost is disgusting, it only works if it hits someone. Its movement speed isn't fast for Rediat, and the only difficulty is that it's hard to detect except through sight, even without Observation Haki.
But Rediat was used to it; the dead end he had set for the White Ghost was unbreakable. The Shadow Domain was just like that, and he wouldn't let the White Ghost leave here alive.
Rediat, wielding a long sword, plunged directly into the Shadow Domain from above the Ghost Sea. The next moment, Rediat's figure emerged from below the Ghost Sea, transforming into a shadow and swiftly attacking the White Ghost.
Rediat Shadow Leap, jumping from above to below the Ghost Sea.
At such speed, a dark shadow almost invisible to the naked eye, was something the White Ghost could not avoid.
White Ghost's body was sluggish, but his will was not. He used his abilities to control his flight, trying to avoid Rediat's attack. He could clearly feel the deadly killing intent.
White Ghost tried to dodge, but Rediat wouldn't give him the chance. The Shadow Domain simultaneously pressed towards the Ghost Sea, squeezing its space.
At the same time, it is also squeezing the White Ghost's activity area. Once the White Ghost leaves the Ghost Sea, it will be killed by Rediat instantly.
This is an ongoing struggle; the oppression of the Shadow Domain, the pressure from Rediat, and Rediat's growing advantage.
When the Ghost Sea is swallowed up to a certain extent, the White Ghost's death day will come. While fighting, Rediat also seeks stability, and he is always on guard against the White Ghost's trump card.
That was his intuition, and he also believed that the White Ghost had a trump card.
White Ghost could sense that the Ghost Sea was compressing and shrinking; even with his efforts, he could only slow down the shrinking process.
He was already completely outmatched, and his condition continued to decline as the fight progressed.
The impending, visible death was terrifying; it was as if one could predict when they would die, even though they had long been prepared for it.
As the Ghost Sea shrinks, Rediat's range becomes shorter, making it more difficult for him to dodge attacks.
Finally, Rediat, with a speed that Redart couldn't react to, stabbed him through the chest, straight into his heart.
"Uh!" The White Ghost spat out blood, a hint of relief and liberation flashing in his eyes.
This period was extremely painful for him, especially as his death approached.
"Finally dead." Rediat said with a faint smile, looking at the dead White Ghost. The moment he killed the White Ghost, Rediat drew his sword and moved away, his entire figure sinking into the Shadow Domain.
Even so, he remained cautious. Many people manage to turn the tables on someone on the verge of death; who knows if White Ghost was faking his death?
Just as he had predicted, the White Ghost was still alive, even with his heart pierced.
I couldn't help but feel a little regretful; Rediat was being far too cautious.
"Let it bloom like the final fireworks," the White Ghost Demon chuckled softly to himself.
"Not good!" Rediat's pupils contracted. He sensed danger and hadn't expected that the dying White Ghost could pose such a threat to him.
"Ghost Realm!"
With a loud bang, the White Ghost's body became illusory and then exploded, releasing eerie and destructive ghostly energy that spread in all directions.
Even the Shadow Domain couldn't withstand it, being engulfed and dispersed from the inside out by the explosive energy.
Rediat was controlling, manipulating the Shadow Domain to suppress this energy, one moving inwards, the other outwards, clashing and colliding with it.
However, it is not possible. If the White Ghost did not have the power to destroy the Shadow Domain before, it can now.
In its final, desperate counterattack, the Shadow Domain trembled, and even with Rediat's control, it was difficult to stop its spread.
The intense war was almost maddening and captivating; the various live broadcast scenes from the Transponder Snail) could be switched at will, both near and far.
The battle had been raging for half a day, with the sounds of fighting never ceasing.
Suddenly, a terrifying thunderclap rang out, and the Shadow Domain in the sky exploded, spreading terrifying energy in all directions.
The sky trembled, the earth shook, and the eerie ghostly power instilled fear and a sense of sadness.
The blue energy spread and instantly covered the entire sky, with flashes of lightning occasionally breaking through it.
It spun continuously, forming a terrifying Tyrant Dragon.
The entire war came to a halt, including the battles between the top experts. What exactly happened?
Why is this happening? It's so scary this morning.
Such a scene of natural disaster sends a chill down one's spine.
Even Chronos, Frieda the Blackdove, King the Conflagration, and Vulture, who were engaged in battle, were engulfed by the thunderstorm that suddenly arose from the explosion.
Time seemed to stand still; everyone stood there, stunned.
"No way?" The Vulture's pupils contracted, somewhat incredulous.
He realized it; recalling the scene just now, he recognized that energy—it was White Ghost's Devil Fruit power.
However, it is extremely strange that such a terrifying move was used only half a day after the start of the war.
He had already realized the answer, but he dared not imagine it.
One by one, the figures swallowed by the thunderstorm reappeared, until only White Ghost and Rediat remained.
At this moment, many people realized that the strange explosive energy had erupted in the sky battlefield between Rediat and White Ghost.
Keep in mind that this is the battlefield where "Shadow Dragon" Rediat and Army Admiral White Ghost, commanders of the combined forces, are located.
What does this mean? Is the battle over? Is it the White Ghost? Or Rediat?
With this thought in mind, Morgans, who was focused on the battlefield, immediately switched the camera's view to that side.
The thunderstorm, born from the strange explosive force, did not last long and quickly stabilized, but the thick smoke and clouds did not dissipate so quickly.
Everyone waited, their hearts pounding.
They did not anticipate that the war would change so drastically in just half a day.
Has anyone died? Or has no one died?
Such a terrifying move cannot be used lightly.
"There." Pito had already sensed it, and he stretched out his hand, pointing gently towards a section of the sky.
It seemed that something was about to emerge, and some powerful individuals quickly sensed the movement coming from the clouds.
From afar, someone spotted a huge shadow appearing in the clouds.
In the blink of an eye, a massive black figure burst forth from the clouds; it was a colossal dragon, over a hundred meters long.
Upon seeing him appear, the members of the allied forces were somewhat disappointed; the newcomer was none other than "Shadow Dragon" Rediat.
However, Rediat did not appear to be in good condition, as he had sustained significant injuries.
The terrifying explosion, the White Ghost burning its life force, even its own body—all the explosions were horrific. Compared to the thunderstorm that nearly covered the sky, Rediat's distance of several hundred meters was no different from facing the attack head-on.
However, the injury was not serious. Although the attack was terrifying, Rediat immediately sank into the Shadow Space and transformed into his complete beast form.
"A bit of a mess, old man. You're a man who can't rest in peace even in death," Rediat sneered, his voice echoing across the battlefield.
Rediat's injuries were healing steadily. These superficial wounds wouldn't take long before he transformed back into human form, overlooking the battlefield below.
At that moment, the air seemed to freeze. Many people were still waiting for the White Ghost to appear, but unexpectedly Rediat brought them this shocking news.
"Dead, dead? How could that be?" Some people couldn't believe it.
"How could he be dead in just half a day? He was Admiral!"
It's no wonder they don't believe it. It's normal for major battles to last for several days and then cease hostilities, but this war has only been going on for half a day.
Rediat told them that White Ghost was dead, but how could that be? Even some pirates didn't believe it.
This is also why they didn't know what abilities the White Ghost possessed; if they had, they wouldn't have been so surprised.
However, would Rediat lie to fool them? That's impossible. At Rediat's level, lying is pointless, especially since it's a lie that can be easily exposed.
Moreover, based on their understanding of Rediat, the second-in- Night Pirates, this proud king, would not lie in public.
That leaves only one conclusion: the White Ghost is truly dead.
Time ticked by, but the White Ghost still hadn't appeared, forcing everyone to acknowledge the undeniable truth: the White Ghost was truly dead, and the balance had been broken.
The commander's death caused a precipitous drop in the morale of the allied forces. The war continued, but the pirates became even more excited.
"Dead? What a pity." On the other side, Alastair's expression was indifferent. He noticed the death of the White Ghost. He was holding the White Ghost's Vivre Card in his hand. He would know immediately when the White Ghost died.
Now, the Vivre Card has burned out completely, lying in his palm.
"It's my turn, Rediat," Alastair said calmly, uttering Rediat's name.
Immediately afterwards, Alastair emanated a chilling aura. Since the comet's core was made of ice, Alastair also possessed a portion of the power of ice, which extended from the comet's energy.
"Comet Collision!"
With a flash of purple light, Alastair leaped directly from a height of 100 meters, his body enveloped in purple Alastair energy as he plummeted downwards.
The diffusion of energy transformed Alastair, the comet's nucleus, into a comet tens of meters in size, trailing a long tail.
Below, Rediat couldn't help but raise his head and look up at the sky. Just now, he had felt an undisguised gaze, a cold and hostile stare, right there in the sky.
Are they from the World Government? They couldn't resist showing up.
This was exactly what Rediat had anticipated.
"Something has fallen, a powerful being," Pito said calmly, gazing at the sky.
Rediat, of course, wouldn't sit idly by and wait for his doom. To the astonishment of the others, he transformed into Shadow Dragon.
Flying in the air, head held high.
"Dragon's Breath!"
A terrifying black beam of light erupted after being charged up.
The terrifying power directly shattered the clouds, creating a blank area within the enormous cloud formation, which continued to spread outwards due to the influence of the Dragon Breath.
So people below can see what's happening up above.
A purple comet descended from the sky, approaching with terrifying force.
The black beam of light released by Rediat collided directly with the falling comet.
The collision of the two powerful impacts created terrifying shockwaves that intertwined and spread outwards.
The thick clouds were blown away, and the cloudless area expanded, while the thick clouds all around formed a magnificent canopy, like the eye of a storm.
However, Rediat's Dragon Breath was unusually suppressed, and the comet was constantly falling, resisting the impact of the Dragon Breath.
Very strong! That's Rediat's feeling. Stronger than the White Ghost. Is this the strength of the CP0 Vice Chief?
Who is this person who made a concealed entrance?
This is what many people think.
