Chapter 414

Hui's tone remained calm, but for Sengoku, who had just been singled out, it was impossible to stay composed.

His entire body shuddered uncontrollably.

Because this feeling, It was as if death itself had locked onto him.

As if his life was already forfeit, and he would die in mere moments.

Terrifying. Too terrifying!

But Sengoku was still Sengoku.

Becoming an Admiral in the had already proven his strength, and that strength was not just about power, but also will.

So, he quickly regained his composure.

His body tensed as he stared at Hui.

This man…

This mysterious and overwhelmingly powerful man…

With one sword strike, he had instantly slain over a hundred people.

With one punch, he had seemingly killed Fleet Admiral Kong in an instant.

Sengoku had no confidence at all that he could deal with such a person.

He wasn't even sure he could survive if he made a move.

But, 

He had no choice.

He had to resist with all his might, hoping for even the slightest chance at survival.

However, Hui simply moved his gaze away.

"One dead Marine Fleet Admiral is enough."

"Next, it should be someone from the World Government."

His gaze turned toward the Elder clad in a formal suit.

The elder's entire body trembled.

Though the Five Elders were undoubtedly incredibly powerful, he did not have the confidence to kill Steel Bone Kong in one hit.

And now, as he met Hui's eyes, shining like the stars themselves, an overwhelming sense of impending doom crashed over him.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead as his body instinctively took a step back.

This involuntary retreat made Hui's lips curl into a mocking smile.

"So this is one of the so-called five Elders who rules the world?

"Nothing but a cowardly rat."

His scornful words made the elder's body stiffen.

And in that brief moment of hesitation, Hui activated the ability of his Celestial eye.

The elder's entire surroundings instantly shifted, and;

Schlck!

The sound of a blade piercing through flesh rang out.

The Elder's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked down to see a sword had already been driven straight through his heart.

His mouth opened, as if he wanted to speak, but Hui simply twisted the blade slightly, then pressed down gently.

With just that simple motion, one of the most powerful figures in the world, one of the strongest warriors at the peak of this era, died without a chance to resist.

This Elder, whose power was undeniable, hadn't even gotten a chance to fight back.

Not a single one of his abilities had even been activated.

He hadn't even had the time to cover his body in Armament Haki for defense.

And then, with a gaping hole in his heart, he collapsed lifelessly onto the ground, Dead.

Another instant kill.

Another unbelievably shocking scene.

The entire battlefield fell into dead silence.

Everyone watched.

No one could find the words to speak.

And then, fear took hold of their hearts.

Many people felt as if their very hearts had stopped beating.

"Now that things have come to this…

"You should have gained some insight, shouldn't you?"

Hui finally spoke, but no one answered his question.

Not that he cared.

The only reason he had done all of this, was to deepen his emotions.

Now, his goal had been achieved.

"No one is answering?" Hui mused. "It seems you all truly have gained new insights. Very well then, let's leave it at that. I hope that the next time we meet, I will see a changed version of you."

Hui had lost interest, there was no one here worth fighting.

His emotions had already deepened and been vented.

Continuing to slaughter weaklings would be pointless.

And so, before the eyes of everyone present, the man who seemed like a demon incarnate began to fade away, his body growing increasingly transparent.

Until finally, he vanished.

Even after Hui left, no one dared to move.

No one dared to speak.

They simply stood there, frozen, as if their souls had been sucked out of their bodies.

He was gone, but his presence still lingered.

The sheer shock that Hui had brought upon them was too overwhelming.

Their very souls had been shaken to the core.

It was only after a long time that the battlefield gradually began to move again.

And then, the world trembled.

…

On a massive ship;

The Whitebeard Pirates had already returned on board.

This was a crew that thrived on chaos and excitement, but at this moment;

Silence.

Utter silence.

Not a single voice was heard in the ship.

The entire ship was drowned in a suffocating stillness.

It was only after a long while that someone finally broke the silence.

"...I still can't believe it. He actually did all of that."

Marco spoke, his voice filled with disbelief.

They had witnessed everything that happened today.

They had seen Hui, twice, instantly annihilate his enemies.

And those weren't just any nobodies.

One was Fleet Admiral Kong, a legendary figure feared across the seas.

The other was one of the Five Elders, one of the highest-ranking rulers of the world.

And yet, both had been mercilessly obliterated.

His actions, his strength were utterly beyond their comprehension.

They had already been overestimating Hui, or so they thought.

But after witnessing this event, they realized they had still underestimated him.

This self-proclaimed "God"'s power had reached an unfathomable level.

"Roger was right…

"This guy… he really had the power to wipe out all of us from back then."

Even Whitebeard sighed, his heart finally conceding completely.

Because this man's strength was far beyond his own.

Even compared to Rocks D. Xebec, the most terrifying figure of his time.

Whitebeard felt that Rocks still fell short of this so-called God.

"I just wonder… what exactly is his goal? What will he do next?

"But whatever it is…

"It's going to once again shake the entire world."

Whitebeard spoke again, this time with a hint of anticipation for Hui's next move.

…

As the Whitebeard Pirates contemplated the future,

Everything that had just unfolded was already spreading across the entire world.

Through Den Den Mushi transmissions, news of the event spread like wildfire.

And everyone who heard it was shocked to their core.

At first, they didn't believe it. Many suspected the messenger was lying. Or that the information was completely fabricated.

Because it sounded impossible.

One sword strike instantly slaughtering over a hundred Marines and World Government elites, Including high-ranking powerhouses?

One punch instantly obliterating Fleet Admiral Kong?

One sword instantly killing one of the five elders?

How could such a ridiculous thing possibly be real?

But, it wasn't just one person saying it.

Every single eyewitness who had been at Sabaody Archipelago confirmed it.

Among them, were famous pirates.

With so many witnesses telling the same story, no one could deny it any longer.

And then, the world fell into chaos.

"This is completely insane, how can any human possibly accomplish something like this?!"

"Instantly killing Kong…? No way. That has to be fake. It's impossible! Impossible!"

"An Elder… one of the most powerful rulers of the world… even he was instantly killed?"

"That self-proclaimed God… at this point, he actually deserves the title. If he can do this, then what's the difference between him and an actual god?"

"This event… will go down in history. A story told for generations."

"Before this, people thought he merely stole something valuable from the Celestial Dragons. But now the truth is out, he actually killed one."

"I didn't believe it before. But now, I do."

"For someone like him, killing a Celestial Dragon isn't even worth mentioning."

"I don't know what he's going to do next, but if someone told me he was going to attack Marineford or overthrow the World Government…I'd believe it."

Discussions erupted everywhere.

The world was thrown into chaos.

And yet, at the same time, a strange excitement filled people's hearts.

Because no one had ever dared to do such things before.

No one had ever succeeded in defying the heavens like this.

Auctioning off a Celestial Dragon alone was unprecedented in the last 800 years.

And not only had it happened, It succeeded.

And after the auction, the very same man had gone on to slaughter both a Fleet Admiral and one of the Five Elders.

Hui's self-proclaimed title, "God" had now been etched into the minds of the entire world.

And more than that, he was now acknowledged by nearly everyone.
