Caesar Dies

Caesar spread his demon wings, maintaining his complete form as he flew through the sky.

Severely injured, with fine cracks all over his body, coughing up blood, and a gap in his wings—the wounds inflicted by Shanks.

The more serious injury is internal. Shanks' Conqueror's Haki entangling him is not easy to bear, and even with his powerful regenerative abilities as Mythical Zoan, it will take a long time.

More importantly, I felt somewhat lost and disoriented.

He was defeated, utterly defeated. His entire pirate crew was wiped out, and the power he had built up over many years collapsed. He himself was defeated by his junior Shanks.

From this day forward, he is a loser, a stepping stone for Red-Haired Shanks to reach the top.

If members of the Red-Haired Pirates had intervened in this battle, he might have been defeated on the very first day.

This is the tragedy of the defeated. Silver Axe Ochoku dead, his territory has been divided, his power destroyed, and his territory annexed.

The only fortunate thing is that he is still alive.

He didn't want to die yet. He was still in his prime, so how could he be willing to die? He wasn't like Bondy a who was determined to die.

He needed to vent his anger. He didn't dare to rebel against the Red-Haired Pirates or the World Government; at most, he would cause them some trouble.

However, other forces, those that betrayed him at crucial moments, will bear his wrath, as long as they are surviving subordinate forces and allies.

How could they possibly be in a better situation if they themselves were facing such a predicament?

They all need to be dealt with one by one.

He dared not provoke powerful enemies, and could only bully other weaker forces.

As long as he is still around, the Demon Pirates can be rebuilt at any time. The Demon Pirates will remain a dominant force, not one that other ordinary forces can provoke.

Suddenly, a sense of foreboding crept into his heart.

A black dot appeared in the distant sky.

A chill ran through my body, as if I sensed the threat of death.

Without time to check, he made what he believed to be the best decision: he changed direction and flew in the other direction.

At the same time, he increased his speed.

This approach did not dispel the gloom in his heart; instead, it made him even more afraid, as if his body was being targeted with needles.

He knew he was being targeted by a powerful enemy, and now, severely wounded, how much strength did he have left to resist?

And this enemy is definitely no less powerful than him.

Who exactly is it?

Caesar felt a little flustered. He spread his wings and, disregarding the strain on his stamina, increased his flight speed.

The World Government? The Navy? This is the best opportunity to kill him. The Navy is unlikely to let this opportunity pass, and the World Government also has a strong motive, as previous cooperation has broken down, leading to hostility between the two sides.

Or are they other pirate factions in the New World?

Although he had made countless enemies, he did not harbor any deep-seated hatred towards the Sea Emperor. Even the struggle for territory was a normal war, and he rarely took action personally.

At this moment, he stopped. He knew he couldn't escape. In this situation, continuing to run was pointless; it would only expose his weaknesses and make him more likely to die.

The enemy was much faster than him.

As he stopped, a Dark Vortex appeared out of thin air dozens of meters in front of him, and a figure emerged from the vortex.

Caesar's pupils constricted, somewhat incredulous. "Teach, Teach, how could it be you? Killing me wouldn't do you any good, would it?"

It was Dark Emperor Teach who appeared. Caesar was somewhat flustered, his body trembling slightly, and he was even a little scared.

Teach's powerful aura had already locked onto him, and the killing intent was clearly palpable.

Upon seeing the enemy who had his sights set on him, Caesar completely lost hope.

But he wanted to know why Teach had targeted him.

Everyone agrees on the reason why Teach appeared and killed Shiki a year and a half ago. There was a reason: to destroy the Flying Pirates and replace them as the strongest force in the New World.

What good would killing him do? If he were alive, he could cause some trouble for the Whitebeard Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates, but otherwise, he would have no impact on the Night Pirates.

In the war against the Night Pirates, he was the one who suffered losses!

"Hehe! It's nothing. Who told you to have my precious daughter take a liking to your abilities?" Teach smiled slightly, merely standing in the air, his invisible aura exerting immense pressure on Caesar's body, even making his mind feel heavy.

The calm sky was suddenly filled with lightning and Thunderclap, dark clouds gathered, and even a light rain began to fall, followed by small hailstones.

Astonishing phenomena and celestial changes occurred one after another, all under the influence of Teach's charisma.

It was only then that Caesar truly realized the vast difference between himself and Teach, and that he had no power to resist in front of Teach.

However, Caesar trembled with a deep fear within him. The sea was blank as he gazed into Teach's deep, abyss-like eyes, feeling as if they would devour his soul if he looked at them for too long.

What did he hear? Teach was fascinated by his abilities; his eyes seemed to tremble. So, Teach could...

But none of that matters. Now, he truly faces a life-or-death situation. He is not at his peak, and the enemy before him is even more terrifying than Shanks.

He wanted to escape, and that's why he felt a deep despair, with no hope of survival. He had no chance of escaping from Teach's grasp.

His fists were clenched, his muscles tense, ready to explode at any moment.

"Oh? Are you planning to resist?" Teach's interest was piqued slightly.

When he decided to act, everything was already predetermined; Caesar was doing now was nothing but a futile struggle.

"Then let's give it a try. I hope I can feel your power."

The next moment, Caesar made his move, maintaining his perfect form.

The Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, is special. Unlike other Zoan Devil Fruit, it doesn't have Human-Beast Form or a Perfect form.

Because its complete form is humanoid.

The figure vanished into thin air in an instant, then reappeared in front of Teach, its Demon Claw, wreathed in Haki and Demon Flame, viciously clawing at Teach.

Teach remained unfazed as his body was instantly sucked into the Dark Vortex. Caesar's claws struck the Dark Vortex but missed.

When part of his claw touched the vortex, he immediately felt a powerful gravitational pull, as if it were about to suck him in.

Caesar instinctively retracted his claws; if he were sucked in, something bad could happen.

Even so, he still had to use considerable strength, as his body was slightly restrained by the gravity of the Dark Vortex.

In an instant, Teach appeared behind him and kicked out. Caesar had no chance to dodge; the kick, as sharp as a blade, struck Caesar directly in the abdomen.

The intense pain Caesar to open his mouth and spit out blood.

Teach's move was completely unexpected and something he had never seen before. Coupled with the fact that his body was restricted by the gravity of the Dark Vortex, he was caught off guard.

"Dark Water!"

After Caesar took flight, Teach reached out and unleashed an endless dark gravitational force from his palm, causing Caesar's body to fly back towards Teach under the influence of gravity.

Using gravity, Caesar quickly steadied himself, condensed Flame Whip in his hand, and fiercely attacked Teach.

Three Dark Jade appeared, forming a shield that easily blocked the attack. Even with the Conqueror's Haki attached, the attack could not advance further after one of the Dark Jade was broken, and was easily blocked.

The Dark Jade's defensive capabilities cannot be increased indefinitely; it has already reached its limit. This level of defense is already powerful enough; otherwise, Teach would truly be considered invincible.

The attack was blocked, Caesar was easily captured by Teach.

Their abilities were directly sealed and could not be used. They wanted to resist, but without their abilities, their combat power was greatly weakened.

The Dark Jade that had blocked his attack earlier, under Teach's control, transformed into chains that bound Caesar's body, making it impossible for him to break free.

The Dark-Dark Fruit is the bane of Devil Fruit users, and this was demonstrated to the fullest extent in this situation. Without the power of Devil Fruit, Caesar couldn't even put up a fight.

Although he hadn't lost his power, he couldn't use it. This feeling filled Caesar with deep fear, and more importantly, his own fate.

Knowing this secret, how could he possibly survive?

Even if he survives after his Devil Fruit is taken away, Teach will not let him go.

Caesar was too weak, at least in Teach's eyes. After developing the technique of spatial teleportation, Teach's combat power undoubtedly increased significantly.

In terms of raw power and adaptability, Caesar was completely suppressed; in terms of tactics, Teach far surpassed Caesar.

He originally wanted to demonstrate the power of the Twist Fruit, Kamui, which also distorts space. It not only allows him to move within space but also to distort space to attack.

However, their application differs somewhat.

The once- Haki Caesar is now incredibly vulnerable. Without the boost and regenerative abilities provided by his Mythical Zoan, his injuries have fully manifested, causing him immense pain.

In his terrified gaze, the Dark Jade transformed into a long spear, piercing his heart directly from behind.

Thus ended the life of a powerful ruler. Darkness enveloped his body, and the endless gravitational pull of darkness drew the power remaining within Caesar into the Darkness Space.

The fruit transformed into a bizarre black Devil Fruit with two horn-like protrusions on its surface.

Caesar's body was simply thrown out and fell from the sky into the sea.

He didn't deserve the same respect Teach showed to Shiki. From beginning to end, the two had no interaction; to Teach, he was just a stranger.

A loser, a loser whose only value has been stripped away.

"Mostima, inform Slada to attack the Demon Pirates' territory. As for how much to take, that's up to you." Teach sent the message to Mostima.

Having received the news, Mostima understood everything: Caesar was definitely dead; Teach had personally intervened, so no accident could have occurred.

He immediately made preparations. Caesar's territory was not small, with more than a hundred islands. It was located in the central part of the New World, bordering three terrifying forces: the Night Pirates, the Whitebeard Pirates, and the Beasts Pirates. Development was difficult, and much of his territory had been taken away by the Night Pirates.

There are other forces all around, making it difficult to conquer them. These are all Great Pirate, and even Caesar wouldn't dare to provoke them easily if they joined forces.

When Mijela expressed his desire for the Mythical Zoan, Human- Human-Human Fruit, Devil form, Mostima anticipated this and had already gathered intelligence on the Demon Pirates' territory in advance.

Before him lay a map. Mostima took a pen and drew a circle on the map, marking out nearly a third of the territory, including several valuable islands.

The photo was sent to Slada was already on standby.

"Take over these territories."

Frankly speaking, with the Night Pirates' current vast territory, these dozens of islands are simply not enough; a large number of Sky Island are waiting for them to develop.

But the Night Pirates won't let these territories go either. Since Teach killed the man, the Night Pirates naturally have a share in the blame.

Upon receiving the order, Slada led his army and a fleet directly to the territory of the Demon Pirates, whose territory was essentially undefended.

Wherever they went, people submitted, and they easily occupied the territory designated by Mostima.

The war had just ended, Night Pirates' actions were surprising, as they immediately seized part of the Demon Pirates' territory.

The Beasts Pirates seem restless but haven't made a move yet, and are much slower than the Night Pirates.

In contrast, the Whitebeard Pirates seemed unconcerned, and other forces dared not make any moves.

Because in their eyes, the Demon Caesar is not dead yet, and they dare not seize Caesar's territory. It is conceivable that after Caesar returns, he will find someone to kill the chicken to scare the monkey.

Even though the Demon Pirates were destroyed by the Red-Haired Pirates, Caesar remains a top-tier powerhouse in the world, a monster in everyone's eyes.

Mijela played in the Night Palace, which to her was even more luxurious than some of the Night Palace and royal palaces she had seen in films and television shows.

The Night Palace is very large, and there is a beautiful mermaid sister in it. Everyone respects her very much and never gets tired of playing with her.

If she wants, she can also go to the Sky Island high in the sky, where the scenery is different for her, even the wind and air are very special, and she can enjoy a perfect view of the sea.

"Princess, the Lord requests your presence." A member of the Night Pirates approached and looked at Mijela respectfully.

The princess's name has spread throughout the Night Pirates and even the entire sea. As the daughter of the Dark Emperor, the princess of the Night Pirates and this vast Night Sea Domain, her status is incomparably noble.

"Oh! Daddy's back!" Mijela's eyes lit up. Teach had been gone for several days, and no one knew what he was doing. Now that he was back, Mijela couldn't hide her joy. "Where is he? Take me there quickly."

The open-air swimming pool, located high in the Night Palace, was where Teach sat on a deck chair, watching the mermaids frolic.

Mijela jogged over quickly, and the members he led stopped at a distance, no longer approaching.

"Dad, you're finally back! What have you been doing these past few days?" Mijela jumped affectionately into Teach's arms, her eyes wide with curiosity as she asked.

"Of course I went to find a gift for you." Teach stroked Mijela's hair, clearly enamored with it.

As darkness enveloped the area, a Devil Fruit appeared directly in Teach's hand and was held out to Mijela.

"What kind of ability is this?" A look of surprise flashed in Mijela's eyes. Mythical Zoan are not so easy to obtain, especially one that satisfies her needs.

She had been prepared to wait for several years, but Teach got it in just a few days.

"You'll know once you try it." Teach didn't say it explicitly, which only made Mijela more eager to try it.
