hang?
The Cat Viper and the others were taken aback.
This was the first time they had ever heard of what Fujitora was talking about.
Especially the word "hanging," with its mysterious and enigmatic explanation, flashed through my mind, yet I couldn't quite grasp its meaning.
However, what they cared about more was whether this so-called cheat could solve the problem of Fujitora being seriously injured due to overexertion of his Devil Fruit power.
After all, facing these three unfathomable old men, Cat Viper and the others knew very well that even if they risked their lives...
Without Fujitora's Press-Press Fruit power, they absolutely wouldn't have been able to stop the three Five Elders.
Most importantly, they also wanted to know what Bai Yu had left Fujitora that could be considered a "hook".
All eyes immediately fell on Fujitora.
When they saw Fujitora pull a brocade pouch from his robes, a scene that seemed familiar, Daps and the others' expressions changed drastically.
An ominous premonition welled up in my heart.
"Oh no, it's something Whitebeard ate! Stop him right now!"
Daps's face darkened, and he shouted urgently.
Sals and Killer moved first.
" Bone Spike Spear!"
Sals suddenly thrust his right hand out from a distance, and the bone spear pierced straight through the void.
Cat Viper and the others suddenly awoke, still puzzled as to why the Five Elders were so alarmed upon seeing a sachet.
However, at this critical juncture, they clearly had no time to think, Inuarashi shouted urgently.
"Everyone, hurry and make your move! Don't let them hinder Fujitora! This battle is for Oden's last wish, and for Wano Country to open its doors to the world. We are willing to sacrifice our lives!"
"Abandon fame for ambition!"
The Cat Viper and the others the Roar in agreement.
In Wano Country, these three simple words are not just empty slogans.
It represents a will to sacrifice life, to forsake glory, and to carry out everything.
It could be said that after the Nine Red Scabbards uttered these words, all they could see was the victory they were determined to achieve by Hundred Plans.
"You're too slow. I'm taking his life."
Killer spoke coldly, then suddenly clasped his hands together.
A large spatial ripple was stirred up in front of the bone spear, forming a Space Vortex.
The next moment, the snow-white bone spear pierced straight in.
They reappeared, the moment they were caught by their already activated Observation Haki.
They've already appeared behind Fujitora.
"Sir, be careful!"
The Cat Viper's face turned deathly pale, and the Roar urgently to warn the snake.
Unfortunately, faced with these words of warning, Fujitora Issho seemed unable to move, dragging his injured body, and stood still, unable to react at all.
Pfft!
The bone spear, the size of a bowl, pierced through Fujitora's chest in an instant.
The blood from the tent splattered and splashed, directly staining the ruined ground beneath their feet red.
The sudden attack caused Cat Viper and the others to change their expressions drastically.
In their eyes, this was a fatal wound.
"Grandpa, we're here to save you. Don't you possess extraordinary Observation Haki? Why didn't you dodge or use Armament Haki to defend yourself? At least you wouldn't be in this situation now."
The Cat Viper's face turned ashen, and he hurriedly leaped towards Fujitora.
You mean this thing?
Fujitora chuckled dryly, seemingly not taking it to heart at all.
With a sudden flick of his wrist, he wielded the Cane Sword.
Using gravity to manipulate it, the bone spear was cleaved in two.
It even forced the bone spear that had pierced his body out of his body.
This process will inevitably result in another spurt of hot blood.
As the earth was stained red, I saw blood everywhere, with pieces of entrails scattered on the ground.
There were still faintly pulsating fragments of a heart, and the Cat Viper's pace involuntarily slowed down.
In his eyes, this kind of injury, where even the heart was pierced and shattered, was probably Rotation.
Looking at Fujitora, who still appeared completely unfazed, Cat Viper spoke in silence.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry, your injuries are too severe. I'm afraid we can't save you. If you have any last words, please tell me, and I will definitely help you fulfill them."
"Last words?"
Fujitora chuckled dryly.
"I didn't leave any last words. I had already sensed that they would try to ambush me. I didn't dodge or evade, simply to verify whether this cheat in my hand was as miraculous as Captain Bai Yu said."
"As long as they don't die, no matter how severe their injuries, they can definitely be saved."
Cat Viper and the others were completely bewildered.
Just a moment ago, this group of people were shouting that they would risk their lives to save the old man.
Telling them now that it was all intentional is just bullshit, isn't it?
They were willing to risk their lives to verify the so-called cheat.
Isn't that a bit too crazy?
What if this gun fails to fire?
In particular, when they saw clearly the mung beans that Fujitora poured out of the brocade pouch in his hand.
I was completely dumbfounded.
Is Bai Yu risking his life?
It's hard to believe that a single green pea can heal an injury!
Even Fujitora was taken aback for a moment.
"It really is this stuff! Stop him from taking it!"
Daps's face darkened, and he shouted urgently.
Killer and Sals were suddenly jolted awake, and their attacks erupted once more.
A dozen bone spikes shot out from Sals's hand in an instant.
Killer once again used his Space-Space Fruit ability to instantly redirect his attacks to all sides of Fujitora.
It's obvious they intend to turn Fujitora into a hedgehog.
This time, however, Fujitora clearly had no intention of sitting idly by and waiting to be killed.
The severe wound that pierced his body was indeed causing his life to gradually fade away.
However, even if a powerful person of this level is about to die, they can hold on for a while by sheer willpower.
Just like the Whitebeard in the Paramount War.
" Gravity Blade!"
Boom!
With a slight draw of the Cane Sword, the incoming bone spear was instantly pressed down to the ground.
At the same time, in his desperate struggle, Fujitora seized this brief respite and quickly swallowed the pea in his hand.
" Fujitora, you're asking for it!"
Daps's face darkened, and he gripped his cane tightly with both hands, shouting coldly.
"Since you're siding with that brat, I absolutely won't let you eat this stuff. Just wait to die!"
" Mental Shock!"
Bang!
Daps slammed his cane into the ground.
The Devil Fruit powers within their bodies instantly coalesced into a Dotō torrent, sweeping towards Fujitora and the others with overwhelming force.
An invisible impact, in that instant, rushed directly into the consciousness of Fujitora and the others without any hindrance.
Caught off guard by this sudden mental attack, the crowd had no time to react.
There was a brief pause and blankness in the will in my mind.
At that moment, it felt as if my entire mind had stopped.
In a battle where life and death are at stake, this situation could be a fatal weakness.
