Chapter 83 Outside the Barrier, the Berserker Causes Chaos at Marine Headquarters
Alabasta was shrouded in the chaotic domain of the Smoke Mirror, shielding even beings like Dilt from the divine power of their "World Watch".
Everything inside was reduced to blurry light and shadow and energy fluctuations, making it impossible to discern clearly.
"Tsk, that guy Tescatlipoca is really into it. I still don't understand why he even got to come here."
Dilt yawned listlessly, a hint of languor on his face as if his mood had been dampened.
"He turned the entire Alabasta into his private theater. It's only because I'm good-natured that the King of Heroes has been waiting for this for a long time."
Beside him, Joan of Arc, holding the holy banner, stood solemnly.
Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and her pure and holy face showed obvious worry.
"Master, Tescatlipoca's domain is distorting the rules within."
"Will such laissez-faire attitude cause this Holy Grail War to spiral completely out of control? What about the participants and the Heroic Spirits...?"
"Out of control?" Dilt chuckled.
"It's out of control. I don't know what's so special about these Grandmasters that made them come here. They came as a group, but there's nothing we can do about it."
"Besides, the chaos itself is part of the fun of this war. Tescatlipoca wants a test? Let him have his fun. The more chaotic the stage, the more spectacular the final show will be."
He pointed slightly into the distance. "We're not idle either. Kaido has summoned some very unexpected people. Even watching a show requires choosing the right spot."
His gaze seemed to pierce through the boundaries of space, landing on the distant Marine Headquarters, Marineford.
At this moment, Marineford is engulfed in unprecedented panic and war.
The sky was dyed an ominous purplish-black, a gigantic oni island loomed in the firmament, and a blue dragon let out a deafening roar—it was the Beasts Pirates!
With each roll of his massive, mountain-like body, he unleashed a devastating hurricane, tossing the warships in the harbor like toys!
The scorching dragon breath poured down like divine punishment, melting the solid fortress walls into crimson magma!
"Whoa whoa whoa whoa—!!! Navy!! Jack, come back! Otherwise, I'll tear down this damn headquarters today!!!"
Kaido's roar was like thunder, exploding in the hearts of every Marine soldier on the battlefield, bringing endless fear.
What's even more despairing is that Kaido didn't come alone!
Beneath his massive dragon body, a figure that seemed to have crawled out of the abyss of hell was slaughtering the naval lines at a terrifying speed!
He was tall and imposing, covered in black, horny armor resembling that of a wild beast. His skin was a sickly pale, and his face was covered by a grotesque bone mask. Only a pair of irrational, scarlet eyes were visible!
He held in his hand a crimson demonic spear wreathed in ominous curses—the Gáe Bolg (Spear of the Dead)!
Every swing of this magic spear brings forth a storm of blood and gore. Whether it is a heavy shield, sturdy armor, or a powerful general, they are all as fragile as paper in front of this magic spear!
His speed, strength, and fighting style that completely abandons defense and only pursues ultimate killing caused all the marines who tried to stop him to pay a heavy price!
Unauthorized summoning, Berserker—Cú Chulainn Alter!
"Damn it! What kind of monster is that?!" On the port control platform, Lieutenant General Tsuru's face was so solemn it could drip water.
She immediately ordered an artillery barrage, and a hail of shells attempted to stop the rampage of the Mad King and the Dragon's Breath.
However, under Cú Chulainn's causally-ignoring Gáe Bolg and Kaido's raging dragon breath, the cannonballs couldn't even get close to the boiling killing intent surrounding the Mad King.
"Within a sliver of light—the speed is too fast! Even Observation Haki would have a hard time completely capturing it!"
On the other side, Kizaru Borsalino transformed into golden light and moved at high speed across the battlefield, constantly shooting deadly lasers from his fingertips in an attempt to restrain the Mad King.
But Cú Chulainn, the Mad King, seemed to possess the instincts of a wild beast, narrowly avoiding a fatal blow and even forcing Kizaru back with a counter-attack. The cursed power wrapped around the demonic spear made Kizaru feel threatened as well.
The lieutenant generals led their elite soldiers into battle formation, but they suffered heavy casualties under the Mad King's meat grinder-like advance!
The once fortified harbor and square of Marineford have now been reduced to burning ruins and blood-stained scorched earth!
The rampage of the Mad King Cú Chulainn is like tearing flesh from the heart of the Navy!
"Ooo ...
"Navy! This is the price for angering me! Hand over Jack! Or I'll wipe you out completely!"
His dragon eyes swept over the struggling navy below, which resembled ants. With each strike of his dragon claws and each sweep of his dragon tail, he tore the warships apart and threw them into the sea.
At the heart of that inferno, the figure of the Mad King Cú Chulainn Alter is a nightmare more despairing than Kaido's dragon breath.
His menacing black figure transformed into a dark red lightning bolt amidst the ruins.
Each thrust of the twisted demonic spear in his hand heralded death.
"Gáe Bolg!"
puff!puff!puff!
No matter how dense the shield wall the soldiers formed, no matter how powerful the Armament Haki the officers unleashed, the defense was utterly useless against that crimson demonic spear thrust!
The dull thud of the heart being pierced was like the drumbeat of death, continuous and relentless!
Vast numbers of naval soldiers fell like felled wheat, their blood soaking the scorched earth and flowing into streams.
"How could Kaido possess such a terrifying Heroic Spirit?!" Fleet Admiral Sengoku stood atop the headquarters building, looking down at the hellish scene below, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
He slammed his hand on the table, which was covered with the latest newspaper.
[The Shichibukai Donquixote Doflamingo voluntarily surrenders his qualification for the Holy Grail War to the Fifth Emperor, Kaido of the Beasts!]
"The qualification for the Holy Grail War... That bastard Doflamingo! What on earth did he do?!"
The intelligence arrived belatedly after the World Conference.
Kaido launched a surprise attack on Dressrosa, swiftly "seizing" Doflamingo's qualification to participate in the Holy Grail War.
This news swept the world like a hurricane, putting immense pressure on the Navy and the World Government.
Kaido is already the strongest creature in the world. If he were to gain the assistance of a top-tier Heroic Spirit, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Faced with the pressure from Heroic Spirits, the World Government has long concluded that Heroic Spirits are invincible.
Currently, Sakazuki and Smoker, who also possess Heroic Spirits, have both gone to Alabasta.
Therefore, after the news of Kaido's brazen attack on his headquarters to rescue Jack was confirmed, the Navy immediately notified the World Government, requesting that Rob Lucci, who was also qualified, come to their aid as quickly as possible!
However, Lucci is still on his way, and a distant solution cannot quench a nearby fire!
"We must hold on! Wait for Lucci to arrive!" Sengoku roared at the Den Den Mushi, then transformed into a giant golden Buddha statue—the Great Buddha form!
A terrifying shockwave erupted from his palm, temporarily forcing back Cú Chulainn, the Mad King, who was attempting to storm the headquarters building, but it was only a temporary setback!
Dressrosa, in the shadow of the King's Heights.
Doflamingo sat on a broken stone pillar, watching the battle scene at Marineford projected by a Den Den Mushi, a signature wicked smile on his face.
He held a glass of red wine in his hand, swirling it gently.
"Fufufufu... Did you see that? My dear 'playwright'? The wrath of the beasts, what beautiful fireworks!"
He spoke to a man beside him dressed in ornate clothes and holding a quill pen. The man's eyes were filled with a passionate fire.
It was Caster—William Shakespeare!
Shakespeare gave a graceful bow, his voice as exaggerated as an aria.
"Oh! My beloved Master! The lies you wove were so beautiful! The bait of qualification lured this raging beast willingly onto the stage of destruction!"
"His anger, his power, will all become magnificent chapters in my writing! A grand prelude to our ultimate victory and the attainment of the Holy Grail!"
The quill pen in his hand moved automatically without wind, drawing invisible words in the void, as if recording and quietly guiding a story in the distance.
Ming's smile grew increasingly deep and sinister.
Kaido thought he had stolen the qualification? No, that was nothing more than a carefully crafted deception by him and Shakespeare!
The fiercer Kaido fights, the greater his energy expenditure, and the more lucrative the outcome will be for Doflamingo.
"Fight, fight as fiercely as you can! In the end, I'll be the one unaware... sizzle sizzle sizzle!"
