Chapter 1735 One Ugly, One Beautiful
Deep in the Devil's Triangle, amidst the dense fog.
Two figures stood silently on the ruins of the dilapidated ghost ship.
One was Kakuzu with a gloomy expression, while the other was a beautiful young man sitting cross-legged in a strange posture, with pink hair reaching his waist and a bewitchingly beautiful face, with a blood lotus appearing between his brows.
This is a hidden piece that Blackbeard Teach deliberately left behind, a temporary base.
Teach did not send Coby with the main force to Marineford, but instead had him stay with Kakuzu in this fog-shrouded sea, awaiting the crucial signal to launch the attack.
Teach believed that the monster, filled with a deep-seated hatred for the Navy, would never miss any opportunity to retaliate against the Navy and drag Marineford into an even deeper hell.
If it weren't for Teach, who tempted and suppressed him with darker promises and stronger power, Koby, with his twisted mind and insatiable lust for flesh and blood, would probably have already given in.
He rushed to Marineford, transforming into the most terrifying human meat grinder, turning all his former naval colleagues who had looked down on him into mincemeat, turning them into nourishment for the strange fruit within his body.
Koby, Helmeppo's former best friend.
That passionate young man who once held naive ideals, went through countless hardships to save Luffy's life, and was determined to join the Navy, follow Garp's lead, and dream of becoming a hero of justice.
His ideals and beliefs had long been shattered by the exposure of the secret, the subsequent investigations within the navy, and even the covert persecution.
He became one of the most innocent yet most tragic victims after the Sky Curtain Incident.
But he didn't hate the frozen image in the sky, nor did he hate that empty thing as meaningless. He was even somewhat grateful for that dramatic change.
Rather than slowly crawling through the Navy's stifling growth system, even if Coby tries his best his whole life, he'll probably only climb to Garp's position and become the Navy's moral paragon.
So what if they become so-called naval heroes?
Rotting away in bureaucracy and compromise?
As for his humble background from the East China Sea, how could he possibly become a naval admiral?
Ha, that dream is too big, even harder to achieve than Luffy becoming the Pirate King. All those Marine Admirals haven't even gotten to that position yet.
Akainu, Aokiji, and Kizaru all have deep foundations and extraordinary strength, so why should it be his turn, a brat with no background?
Power! He needs a faster, more direct power, enough to overturn the rules, trample all order, and make all those who once looked down on him pay the price.
After resonating with Behelit, Koby gained a new power—a power that could transform the life essence of others into its own nourishment. In essence, it was a Mythical Zoan that had been corrupted and mutated.
The price he paid was that his body gradually became androgynous, his temperament became monstrous, and his mindset became increasingly distant from that of a normal human being.
Kakuzu stood warily beside Coby. He had seen countless ruthless people, but when facing Coby, he couldn't muster the slightest desire to make a deal. He only felt an instinctive wariness as if he were facing a natural enemy.
Koby is now only interested in killing and eating people; he is bored with everything else, including eating, drinking, defecating, and sleeping.
In some ways, Koby is already very, very far removed from humanity.
"That Teach guy is really slow," Kakuzu muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear, his gaze sweeping across the thick fog in the distance.
"Isn't it time to take action against the Fleet Admiral?"
Above Marineford, Blackbeard Teach's undisguised, greedy, and malicious gaze was naturally noticed by the perceptive Fleet Admiral Sengoku.
Sengoku glared fiercely at Teach, his killing intent rising within him.
Compared to Whitebeard, a veteran emperor who still possessed some dignity despite being an enemy, Blackbeard, a new-era cancer with no bottom line and using any means necessary, was far more despicable in Sengoku's eyes and had to be eliminated as soon as possible.
Blackbeard had probably guessed Sengoku's thoughts. Far from being afraid, he instead grinned even wider, a mocking smile spreading across his face.
He had already silently slipped one hand into his pocket, his fingers gently pinching the specially made miniature Den Den Mushi inside.
Be ready at any time to send a summons to the humanoid monster that has been waiting in the Devil's Triangle.
Let him come and join the battle to help me, Teach, fight against the Sengoku of Buddha.
Just as Sengoku frowned, preparing to say something to Blackbeard, his unparalleled Observation Haki suddenly detected an extremely unusual spatial fluctuation.
The source of the fluctuation was none other than the execution platform.
"Oh no!!" Sengoku Hitomi suddenly turned her head.
Behind Ace, the space behind the two executioners who were being controlled by Buddha's power and had blank expressions began to appear without warning, with clearly visible folds of space rippling like water.
The fluctuations in this space were quite significant, and the frequency was unusually high, attracting the attention of more and more people in the vicinity almost instantly.
"What is that?!"
"Something's about to come out of the execution platform!" A cry of alarm and uncertainty rang out once again among the navy and pirate camps.
Under the watchful eyes of countless people, at the center of the rippling space, two figures stepped out calmly from the spatial waves, one after the other.
The first to step out was an ugly man with an unusually bloated and obese physique, nearly four meters tall.
His head and mouth were unusually large, his face was square, and he wore a golden crown on his bald head. He had a purple bun on the right side of his head, and his beard was exaggeratedly curled upwards.
Wearing a large yellow kimono, he exuded an unfathomable evil aura, looking at him as if the ghost of some ancient tyrant had descended.
Following closely behind was a figure with a completely different temperament from the former.
He was a handsome young man with long, silver-white hair that flowed down to his waist, a delicate crescent moon mark on his forehead, and two eerie red lines drawn on each cheek.
He was dressed in a pure white kimono, with delicate hexagonal plum blossom patterns embroidered on the hem.
His golden eyes were bright yet cold; his handsome appearance exuded nobility; his expressionless face was breathtakingly beautiful, yet chillingly cold.
One ugly, one beautiful; one wicked, one cold; two strangers with completely different temperaments and appearances, yet both exuding an ominous aura.
And so abruptly, in full view of everyone, it descended upon the execution platform in Marineford, the most central and sensitive area of the war.
Everyone was stunned.
Navy and pirates, including people around the world watching on screens.
Who are these two people?
Where did they come from?
Why are you here?
More importantly, are they friends of the Navy or friends of the pirates?
Or neither.
The atmosphere on the battlefield became unpredictable once again due to the sudden arrival of these two uninvited guests.
