No suspense in this war.
Achi and Seth's original strength wouldn't have been stronger than Kru and Leia, let alone with a severed finger.
A severed finger, though not fatal, made it impossible to wield a sword steadily, let alone fight.
Achi was already covered in blood, pieces of flesh torn from his body by Kru's sharp claws.
Seth was covered in footprints, blood at the corner of his mouth. Although he didn't look as terrifying as Achi, only he knew that many of his bones had been broken by Leia's kicks.
More and more soldiers and Mink Tribe members arrived as reinforcements. This was a nation and race where everyone was a soldier.
But it couldn't change the tide of the battle.
The Mink Tribe's so-called "Electro," though called electricity, couldn't really be considered electricity.
Hmm… micro-electricity.
Unless they could now, like Vegeta, conjure a moon and throw it into the sky.
But it would be useless. Even if they could create an artificial moon, what awaited them wouldn't be victory, but a new BOSS—Noro!
After watching for a while, Noro stepped onto Flame Clouds, arriving before Zunesha, and initiated a chat invitation:
"Are you there?"
Zunesha ignored Noro, not even bothering to lift an eyelid, simply continuing its downward walk.
Noro wasn't surprised. This giant elephant was actually restricted.
If Jack hadn't been so thick-headed and rushed to save Doflamingo, Zou would truly have been annihilated by Jack.
This giant elephant hadn't helped then either.
So, it couldn't help this time either.
Noro was just curious if this elephant could only communicate with Momonosuke and Luffy.
And why did it need Momonosuke's permission to act?
Tsk, tsk, tsk, why go to such lengths to elevate the Kozuki family?
Princess Shirahoshi could control Sea Kings, and Momonosuke could control the giant elephant.
Later, Momonosuke was even enlarged. Was the next step to marry Shirahoshi to Momonosuke? To continue the noble bloodline of Wano?
Pluton buried beneath Wano, Poseidon and Pluton forming a powerful alliance?
Seeing Zunesha ignore him, Noro opened the chat box and initiated a conversation again: "Hey, speak up. Didn't your mother tell you to reply when someone talks to you?"
Elephants were born from elephant mothers, so Zunesha should also have a mother.
Zunesha still ignored him.
Read receipt, no reply, huh?
The Tengu Serpent's maw opened wide, fierce flames burning within, a scorching aura rushing forth.
Zunesha was big, but its defense was very poor.
Jack's pirate ship's cannons could injure it. Noro guaranteed that with this one breath, the pillar of fire could burn a transparent hole through Zunesha's body.
"What exactly do you want?"
In Noro's mind, Zunesha's deep voice suddenly boomed.
The Tengu Serpent's dark yellow vertical pupils gleamed with the light of a successful scheme, and he swallowed the flames back into his mouth.
Otherwise, if he spat out this flame, he would again be criticized by the readers for not naming his moves.
And Zunesha could speak, after all. He thought he would need some "Voice of All Things."
"You can speak, can't you?" Noro's words carried a strong hint of mockery.
Zunesha's helpless voice echoed in Noro's mind again:
"What exactly do you seek from me? You came to my back, fighting the tribe that has lived on my back for centuries, and I did not intervene. Why do you press on?"
Noro sneered. "You didn't intervene because you couldn't, right?"
Zunesha was instantly stunned, asking incredulously, "Who exactly are you, and what do you know?"
A transmigrator, what else?
Noro continued, feigning profundity, "You wouldn't recognize who I am even if I told you. As for what else I know…
I not only know that you cannot intervene, but I also know that you committed an unforgivable sin, condemned to walk the seas endlessly for centuries."
Zunesha was silent for a long time before slowly saying, "Since you know everything, what do you intend to do?"
Noro's lips curled into a cunning smile. "Nothing much. I'm just very curious what sin you committed, and why you're so obediently enduring this punishment."
Zunesha said coldly, "No comment!"
Noro's tone was playful. "You'll die if you don't tell me~"
"I won't tell even if I die!" Zunesha's tone was stubborn. After speaking, it lowered its head and continued walking, no longer paying attention to Noro.
Heh, interesting.
Anything connected to Wano, to the Kozuki family, was damn interesting.
Noro again rode the clouds and mist back above Zou, transforming into his human form, lighting a cigarette, and leaning against a pillar, quietly watching them fight.
As time passed, Achi and Seth could no longer resist Kru and Leia's attacks.
One of the two kings had his heart pierced through the chest by Kru's claws, and the other had his head kicked in by Leia.
Witnessing the tragic deaths of their two kings, endless despair consumed all the Mink Tribe members present.
Even the two strongest kings of Zou had been defeated. Did they still have any hope of winning?
Another goat Mink knelt directly on the ground, his weapon falling powerlessly from his hand, muttering in despair, "We lost. We Minks lost!"
The rout began with him.
One by one, the Mink Tribe members dropped their weapons, kneeling and kowtowing for mercy.
Begging the Beasts Pirates to spare their lives, just like the people of Wano before them.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, surrendering as soon as the kings die.
How, then, thirty years later, could they face Jack's slaughter of the entire nation, choosing to deny everything to save a stranger?
Inuarashi and Nekomamushi truly infected the entire nation with their servility.
Since they had already knelt, the Beasts Pirates ceased their slaughter. The captains tacitly withdrew, coming to Noro's side.
Old Englar asked respectfully, "Vice-Captain, what do we do next?"
Noro smiled cruelly. "Let them kneel for now. Search the entire island. Find Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, and behead them for public display!"
"Understood!" The several men responded respectfully, then led the Beasts Pirates to carry out the mission.
During this time, Noro flew to collect the red Road Poneglyph on Zou.
Soon, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were captured. It wasn't hard to find them, and Kru even knew them.
Seeing the Beasts Pirates again, Nekomamushi and Inuarashi were so scared that they wet their pants. After all, they were still just little cats and dogs at this time.
Noro didn't care about them. With a command, the executioner raised his blade and brought it down, and the two heads rolled to the ground.
These two blows completely shattered the hope in the hearts of Zou's people.
Noro ordered the Beasts Pirates to escort all the people of Zou onto the ships. Since they were so loyal, they could go to Wano and mine with their masters.
After everyone was on board, the Tengu Serpent rode the mist, summoning Flame Clouds, and lifted the pirate ships into the sky.
High in the sky, the Tengu Serpent's cold eyes looked down at the giant elephant below.
You only listen to Momonosuke, huh?
Then go listen in hell!
The Tengu Serpent's maw began to gather scorching energy, and a torrent of blazing flames shot down towards the giant elephant below.
"Be annihilated beneath the Tengu Serpent's karmic fire!"
