Chapter 153: The Death of Black
Chapter 153: The Death of Black
"They really know how to stir things up!"
Receiving the message from the Family, Hades felt a bit helpless.
Just like that, they found him another Fiancée.
Although the two parties involved hadn't confirmed it yet, the two Families had already discussed and agreed.
But Hades wouldn't refuse.
Why would he refuse?
For Hades, Marriage Alliances between Families were completely normal.
Since they were willing to form a Marriage Alliance, it must be beneficial to both sides.
Hades already had over twenty women, so adding this one made no difference.
Moreover, the Fiorella Family, in terms of true Strength, was definitely weaker than the Tartarus Family.
However, as a Family ranked among the top in the World Government, they were still a Top Tier existence within the entire World.
A member of the Holy Knights was a Top Tier Combatant.
Adding the hidden Strength controlled by the Family, similar to the Tartarus Family's "Hell", the strongest among them likely also possessed Top Tier Combatant.
This meant at least two Top Tier Combatants.
This was just the minimum.
The Tartarus Family itself had close ties with the Fiorella Family, and had obtained a considerable amount of Intelligence regarding the World Government, as long as it didn't involve absolute secrets.
Even absolute secrets, those that mostly couldn't be exposed.
The Tartarus Family knew quite a lot.
Especially the World Government's true trump card, the "Heavenly King" that descended from the sky, was unavoidable, and could easily destroy an Island.
Hanging over everyone's heads like the Sword of Damocles.
No matter how the Kronos Kingdom resisted the World Government, it couldn't be done "openly".
In short, they couldn't give the World Government a reason to act against them.
Moreover, such a Weapon couldn't be used easily.
Each use required consuming enormous Energy, worth hundreds of billions, even thousands of billions.
The War had reached its final stage.
Whether it was the Allied Forces or the Rocks Pirates, everyone's tension was at its peak.
The continuous approach of the World Government's Reinforcements Force.
Further prompted the Rocks Pirates to intensify their offensive.
They certainly didn't want to wait for the World Government's Reinforcements Force to arrive and have the Advantage they had built up during this time completely collapse.
The casualties of the Allied Forces continued to mount.
As this final Great Battle continued, amidst the strong pressure from the Rocks Pirates and the slaughter of countless Pirate.
The Allied Forces' Defense Line continuously shrank, and their Military Strength became increasingly scarce.
To this day, less than 200,000 people remained.
In other words, within a short period, hundreds of thousands more people from the Allied Forces had sacrificed themselves on top of the original numbers.
Boom!
The air compressed and exploded!
Rocks D.
Xebec, facing the siege by the two Monsters, Kong and Black, finally seized a Weakness/Opening.
Dazzling Black-Red Lightning Coated his right arm.
He sidestepped Kong's punch, then turned and landed a kick on Kong's Body.
With terrifying Strength, Kong's Body, like a Vajra, seemed to crack.
Overbearing Power seeped into Kong's Body, sending him flying over a thousand meters away.
Immediately after, Rocks D.
Xebec saw the distant scenery in his eyes.
His figure vanished from the spot, and a Pink Slowing Lightwave followed, descending.
The vanished Xebec reappeared behind Black.
"Old man, prepare to die!"
Rocks had a ferocious smile on his face, feeling a sense of exhilaration, and struck without mercy.
He had had enough of Black's disgusting Ability.
Otherwise, could just Kong and Black alone have resisted him? They would have been defeated long ago.
He had already missed one chance to kill Black; this time, he absolutely wouldn't let it slip.
This was the Battle; it was time to bring it to a close.
So what if the World Government's Reinforcements arrived?
What always gave Rocks confidence was his Strength.
Black had already sensed the threat, but his Body felt locked, slightly sluggish.
A momentary lapse made him unable to mount the most effective defense.
The prolonged long battle had long pushed his Body to its limits.
Being able to persist until now was entirely by burning his own Vitality to gain Strength.
With every Battle, every action, his Vitality was rapidly draining away.
He was growing older and older, his Lifespan continuously decreasing.
The reason he still maintained a relatively Peak state was merely a temporary peak achieved by burning his vitality.
Once the War stopped, it wouldn't take many days for him to revert to his original state.
Now, he finally couldn't hold on any longer.
What overwhelmed him was a Peak Fist from Rocks D.
Xebec, charged for a long time.
This Fist landed directly on Black's back, which was almost undefended.
Terrifying force spread throughout Black's entire Body.
The terrifying Destructive Power completely shattered Black's Haki Defense.
Shattered along with it was Black's Flesh and Blood Body.
The Strength of Internal Destruction, like a sharp knife, easily cut through Black's Haki and Body.
Simultaneously striking the ground.
A deafening sound spread, and the Battlefield shook violently as if struck by an earthquake.
Large rock fragments flew into the sky.
An Area spanning over a thousand meters was destroyed by a powerful Strength.
By the time Kong reacted, it was too late.
He stood there dumbfounded, his eyes wide.
In the endless ruins, Black lay on the ground, his entire chest pierced straight through from back to front by an arm.
*Splurt!*
Rocks pulled his arm out from Black's chest.
He forcefully swung his arm, and blood, squeezed out by Haki, was flung aside.
Black's Aura grew weaker and weaker.
His Vitality continuously drained away.
Death had arrived before him.
Black looked at Rocks, seemingly wanting to say something, but instead spat out a mouthful of blood.
Could only mouth silent words.
At the same time, using all his Strength, he emitted his pink Ability, wanting to create an opportunity for Kong.
However, he was too weak.
The pink Energy was dispersed the moment it approached Rocks by his overwhelmingly powerful Armament Haki.
He fiercely stepped on the fatal hole in Black's chest, completely ending his life.
Stepping on the Corpse of the Fleet Admiral, his not-so-tall Body emitted a terrifying Aura like a Demon God.
"How boring."
Rocks spat coldly.
He naturally guessed what Black wanted to say.
"I'll be waiting for you in Hell, Rocks!"
Fleet Admiral Black was dead.
Without Black's Ability, Rocks could be said to be completely unleashed.
Glancing at Kong, Rocks' figure vanished from the spot, heading towards a distant Battlefield at a speed that broke the Sound Barrier.
