Kozuki Oden was dead.
He had died at the hands of "Overlord Dragon" Zack.
Every ferocious attack, every powerful move that severely wounded the CP0 Chief, had taken a tremendous toll on his Haki and stamina.
Under those circumstances, how could he possibly stand against Zack at his peak?
After three days of battle, with no one else intervening, Kozuki Oden's body reached its limit, leaving him unable to resist.
Enma and Ame no Habakiri stood embedded in the ground.
At last, his life slipped away.
Only after watching Kozuki Oden truly die did Kurozumi Hachinosu turn and leave with Kurozumi Kanjuro and the crew.
As Oden posed the greatest threat to the Kurozumi Clan, he had to confirm that Kozuki Oden had died in battle.
Even if "Overlord Dragon" Zack had shown mercy and spared Kozuki Oden's life,
he would have stepped in to finish Kozuki Oden off himself.
The battle was over, and both the Overlord Dragon Pirates and the Orochi Pirates were thoroughly satisfied with the outcome.
Meanwhile, in the Holy Land of Mary Geoise,
several terrifying auras erupted. Overwhelming Conqueror's Haki sent black-and-red lightning crashing together in the air, weaving into a vast net.
Dark clouds gathered in the usually clear sky, a rare sight.
"That little brat from the Dragon People played us!"
"How dare he!"
An icy voice echoed through the spacious office.
The Five Elders could not contain their rage.
The agent kneeling on the floor pressed his forehead firmly against the ground, not daring to raise his head.
None of the Five Elders had imagined that, after extending his invitation, "Overlord Dragon" Zack would ultimately turn against their World Government.
There was no evidence, but there was no need for guesswork either. Anyone with eyes could see it.
