Chapter 71 Killing the Heart, Kid Pirates Destroyed!

Kid's burly body fell heavily onto the street.

A faint dust was stirred up.

At this moment, Kronos, walking slowly, approached Kid.

"Da da da...."

The crisp footsteps echoed in the air.

It felt as though the Shinigami was approaching. Kid had no choice but to stand up again.

He looked at Kronos' flat expression.

Recalling that Kronos had just flicked his fingers and destroyed the mechanical arm formed by Kid's own deployment ability.

Kid gritted his teeth, his face full of impatience and confusion!

'Why, why?!'

'What method did he use to destroy the giant mechanical arm so easily?!'

However, Kid didn't have time to think.

His patience was running out.

Veins reappeared on his face as Kid stared angrily at Kronos.

He shouted in a low voice.

"Enough!!"

"If you have the ability, destroy it again and show me!!"

"I don't believe I can't kill you, bastard, with a reward of 200 million!!"

Angrily cursing, Kid suddenly raised his right arm.

His Devil Fruit ability fully activated at this moment.

'Boom rumble!!!'

At that moment, even the streets began to tremble visibly.

Countless metal objects slowly began to rise.

Under the magnetic pull, they slowly approached Kid.

However, Kronos remained calm, watching the scene in front of him.

He looked at the floating metal objects in the air.

Then he glanced at Kid, whose veins were bulging, fully activating his Devil Fruit ability.

Kronos raised his hand slightly and spoke softly.

"This is my home field."

He raised his hand and gently pressed it down.

In an instant, the humming sound filled the air, causing a loud "Boom!!!"

A powerful gravity suddenly fell, covering the surrounding area!

"Boom!!"

In the blink of an eye, under the pressure of the immense gravity, all the metal objects floating in the air crashed down.

They were firmly embedded in the ground.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

A continuous series of sounds echoed.

Even the smoke and dust that was stirred up fell to the ground in an instant.

Kid was also affected by this overwhelming gravity, bending under the pressure.

Seeing that Kid wasn't crushed by the gravity, Kronos didn't hesitate. He pressed his hand down again, increasing the force.

"Boom!!"

Another layer of gravity pressed down, and a tremor sounded.

The ground beneath Kid's feet sank a few centimeters.

"Boom!!"

Another layer of gravity pressed down.

Kid's knees buckled, and he fell to the ground with a loud thud.

"Thump!!"

"Boom!!"

Even though Kid was already kneeling on the ground under the gravity, the pressure didn't stop there.

It kept building, layer upon layer, continuing to press down on Kid's body.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The ground around him was also affected.

First, it collapsed within a half-meter radius, then a one-meter radius.

The half-meter that had already collapsed sunk even deeper with the additional force from the one-meter radius.

Half a meter! Half a meter, a meter! Half a meter, one meter, two meters...

And so on, the ground collapsed layer by layer.

Kid, however, was forced to face the mountain-like gravity, still kneeling but not completely down.

"Ugh!!!"

A high-pitched roar escaped from Kid's mouth.

He tried his best to resist the powerful and terrifying gravity stubbornly.

He refused to be defeated!

He wouldn't allow himself to be defeated!

For this reason, he still didn't fall!

Gritting his teeth, Kid watched as Kronos approached slowly.

He muttered hoarsely to himself.

"I'm Kid! Captain Kid!"

"A reward of 315 million Berries, Eustass Kid!"

"Why should I kneel before a guy with only a 237 million bounty?!"

"What are you kidding?!"

Kid growled angrily at Kronos.

Immediately after, he saw blue veins bulging across his body.

Against the mountain-like gravity, he tried to stand up from the ground!

"Creak!! Squeak!!"

There was a creaking sound from his bones, overwhelmed by the force.

But Kid didn't care at all.

He kept shouting angrily, trying to rise!

As the boss, as the captain!

How could he kneel before his enemy?!

With anger fueling his arms, Kid growled at his legs.

"Stand up for me!!!"

At this moment, Kronos had reached Kid.

Looking at the kneeling Kid, Kronos calmly raised his hand and slowly extended it.

Gravity gathered in his palm.

In the next second, there was a soft 'shuh' as a long knife, stained with dark red blood, flew towards his palm.

Kronos caught it with ease.

"Shah! Shah!"

Kronos swung the sword twice, weighing its heft and feeling its balance.

Then, the tip of the blade was gently pressed against Kid's back!

Right against the back of his heart!

Looking coldly at Kid kneeling before him, Kronos spoke in a calm, indifferent tone.

"Don't you understand yet?"

"This huge gap between you and me! A difference in power!"

"What does a reward of 300 million mean?"

"Does a higher bounty mean you're stronger than me?"

"Open your eyes and take a good look!"

"See how many of your comrades have died because of one of your decisions!"

Upon hearing these sudden words from Kronos, Kid trembled all over, momentarily stunned.

He slowly turned his head to the side.

Where his comrades had been standing!

But what Kid saw next was not his comrades.

Instead, there were seven figures wearing Bloodline insignias on their clothes.

They stood atop piles of corpses, coldly staring at Kid's Kamui Pirates!

The ground was soaked in bright red blood, and dozens of corpses lay motionless in the blood.

And those corpses... weren't they his companions?

Weren't they the comrades who had come with him on this adventure?

Dead... dead?!

....

The first update has been served.

"What did you do to my partners?!"

Kid seemed to have lost his mind, roaring at Gojo Satoru with a hoarse voice.

But then, he coughed violently.

"Cough cough cough..."

Gojo Satoru, wearing a black blindfold, looked at Kid.

Gone was his usual smirk.

Gojo Satoru replied calmly and indifferently.

"I don't know!"

"However, they're probably not alive."

At this moment, Kira, whose two sickles were broken, mask destroyed, limbs gone, and face covered in blood, was in a pitiful state.

At the same time, Kid heard the sound of dragging from behind.

Kid, hearing the movement, subconsciously turned his head.

But what he saw was Pain from the Six Paths, holding the head of Hitt, who was covered in blood and scars, with countless black rods stuck in his body.

As though dragging a lifeless object, Pain slowly approached.

At this moment, Hitt wasn't fully dead.

But he was close.

Looking at Kid, who was kneeling on the ground, pierced through the back with a long knife, Hitt muttered hoarsely.

"Captain Kid... sorry... I... I'm not his right... cough..."

Before he could finish speaking, Hitt's mouth was filled with blood, coughing violently.

After coughing up blood, he felt an overwhelming fatigue take over, his eyelids growing heavy, and he unconsciously lowered his gaze.

He looked at his captain's figure and then at Kronos.

Hitt couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

'So this is the one who escaped Vice Admiral Garp and Admiral Aokiji?'

'His strength is monstrous!'

'And we... are not on the same level.'

'Now, it seems that just escaping, it's no wonder he had a bounty of 200 million when he first appeared on the list...'

Thinking this, Hitt's breath gradually faded as he passed away.

And Kid, at this moment, had already cried tears of despair.

'The difference in strength... is too great!'

'This is not an opponent I can defeat!'

'It's all my fault!'

'My impulsiveness and recklessness killed my comrades and my best friends!'

Now that his comrades were dead, Kid no longer resisted.

He... gave up.

He began to accept death.

"Maybe, if I had listened to your advice, no one would have died today... Kira..."

After whispering this, Kid completely lost his life.

The Kid Pirates were officially dead.

All dead, no one left!

"Thump!"

Pain threw Hitt's lifeless body onto the ground.

Kronos cast a glance.

After scanning the area, Kronos spoke.

"Let's go. We're leaving."

The restaurant has been destroyed, so there's no point in staying here.

But just as Kronos and the others turned around to leave...

A man wearing sunglasses stepped out from a distance, biting a cigarette.

With long pink hair and wearing a white Marine cape with the word 'Justice' embroidered on the back!

It was none other than Hina, a Colonel from the Marine Headquarters.

Seeing the sudden appearance of Marine, Kronos couldn't help but slow his pace.

A slightly puzzled expression appeared on his face.

"Marine?"

At the same time, Hina exhaled a puff of white smoke and slowly pushed up her sunglasses.

But when Hina saw the scene before her, the corpses everywhere, and the red-haired, thorn-headed man kneeling on the ground, she froze.

"This is... Eustass Kid?!"

"He was actually killed?!"

Hina was stunned in shock.

She had been chasing the Kid Pirates.

But now, to meet them again... and find them all dead?!
