The few Divine Blades fleeing alongside Saint Somaz, Marfygong, and Makas Petygrew watched as the three Gods Knights were instantly teleported away by the abyss magic circle.
They immediately panicked.
The shallow sea marks on their bodies were incapable of long-distance teleportation.
"Don't leave us behind!!"
"How can this be!"
"Move! Move!"
These Divine Blades and the Celestial Dragons who had successfully boarded the ships frantically urged the guards to row, desperate to escape this nightmare of an island.
The screams of their clansmen on the island sounded like death knells, making them tremble with fear.
Why!
Why did a game meant for honor and fun turn into this?
Boom!!
Violent explosions erupted from the hulls of these warships.
"Not good! It's the Fishmen!!"
A Cipher Pol agent screamed in terror as Fishmen began destroying their warships.
"Damn Fishmen!"
"When I return, I will definitely capture a hundred, no, a thousand Fishmen to be slaves!!"
"I will wipe out those damn trash from Fish-Man Island!"
Divine Blades and Celestial Dragons roared in anger, but their voices carried a trace of fear.
"Sea Knight Division, attack!"
"We absolutely cannot let them escape! This is the Vice-Captain's order!"
Tidal Sea Demon Sanbel led his Sea Knight Division along with the Fishmen of the Abyssal Titan Division to frantically scuttle the World Government warships and Marine vessels.
"Fire Catfish Punch!!"
Deep Sea Titan Babel transformed his body into flames and rushed to the shore. A massive fire punch shaped like a ferocious giant catfish smashed five warships in a single strike.
This caused the entire God Valley harbor to ignite rapidly. The fire spread to more warships, cutting off the escape of even more Celestial Dragons.
"I'm going to awaken Haoshoku!!"
Barbel's eyes were filled with obsession. Why was there not a single king among the Fish-Man Race!
He was now the King of the New World's Titan Kingdom; he wanted to become a true ruler!
"Tell me, can I become a king?"
Barbel's massive webbed hand grabbed a Celestial Dragon, his voice harsh and murderous.
In his eyes, there was no longer any fear of the Celestial Dragons.
"You can, you can! Just don't kill me! I can have the World Government appoint you as the King of Fish-Man Island!"
The Celestial Dragon trembled violently, wetting his pants, his eyes full of terror!
"Bahahaha! I don't need you to appoint me as King!"
"I am already a King!"
"Damn Celestial Dragon, pay for the blood debts of the Fish-Man Race's ancestors!!"
Barbel laughed wildly. The flames on his hand surged as he crushed the Celestial Dragon. A faint, violent aura began to emanate from his body.
Barbel continued his slaughter toward the other Celestial Dragons arriving at the harbor!
He wantonly slaughtered Cipher Pol agents, Marines, and the heavily protected Celestial Dragons.
"I am the strongest in Fish-Man Island!"
"I am the King of the Titan Kingdom!"
"I am the Rocks Pirates Cadre, Abyssal Titan!"
"I am a Logia type Mera Mera no Mi user!"
Barbel erupted with power, incinerating every enemy in his path.
His massive deep-sea anchor turned into a flaming anchor. As he swung it rapidly, everything within a hundred meters became a sea of scorching fire waves.
In this moment, Barbel transformed from the Abyssal Titan into a flame titan.
It was said that those with kings qualification were born only once in a million people.
Despite Fish-Man Island having four to five million Fishmen and Merfolk, under the long-term oppression of the World Government and Celestial Dragons...
...there was currently not a single Haoshoku user among them.
Barbel had been forcibly subdued by Rocks in the Fish-Man District and had followed the Rocks Pirates to the highest stage and battlefield in the world.
Under the mental motivation and physical training from Fang Huo and Rocks, plus the provocation from Silver Axe Fierce... Barbel's momentum had reached the strongest state the Fish-Man Race had seen in eight hundred years of oppression, completely shattering his fear of the Celestial Dragons... As Barbel frantically killed his eighteenth Celestial Dragon, a burst of Conqueror's Haki, carrying all the Fish-Man Race's hopes for revenge, suddenly erupted... "Bahahahahaha! I did it!!"
"I've awakened Haoshoku!!"
Barbel wildly swung his flaming anchor, laughing with pure joy, a trace of tears even leaking from the corners of his eyes.
Vice Captain Fang Huo did not lie to me!!
It wasn't easy!!
Only after killing so many Celestial Dragons did he break through all the fear and shadows in his heart!
"No way! You can even awaken it like this?!!"
Ganzi had thought Silver Axe Fierce was just an exception, but as even Barbel awakened Conqueror's Haki, his composure completely crumbled!!
He had just killed one or two Celestial Dragons himself, but found it did nothing, and he even worried if he would be targeted and retaliated against by the World Government and Celestial Dragons.
Now, the facts were telling him that killing Celestial Dragons really could awaken Conqueror's Haki!!
"It works! I knew the Vice-Captain wouldn't lie!!"
Kiel Bastard saw that even a guy like Barbel could awaken Haoshoku; there was no reason he couldn't!
Having already killed over a dozen Celestial Dragons, he charged even more frantically toward them.
Under the stimulation from Silver Axe Fierce and Barbel, Kiel Bastard had gone completely mad!
"I am the Four-Armed Gun King, the King of Snipers!"
"I am also the King of the Victory Kingdom!"
"I am the strongest of the Four-Armed Race!"
Kiel Bastard frantically sniped Celestial Dragons and shot down the Cipher Pol agents and Marines blocking him, his four Negative Ghostss bringing down any enemy in front of him.
One by one, explosive ghosts and bullets from his four famous guns blasted and shot through all the enemies in his way.
"Ahahaha! They're just Celestial Dragons!"
"You bastards who call yourselves descendants of gods can't even withstand a single bullet!"
"You swine, without the protection of the World Government, you're just a bunch of trash in front of us!"
Kiel Bastard grew more excited as he killed; he was becoming addicted to slaying Celestial Dragons.
He was grateful to the Vice-Captain for bringing him to this glorious battlefield!!
"Vice-Captain!! if I can't awaken Conqueror's Haki, how can I be worthy of being your number one fan!!"
"You have a 5 billion bounty on your head because of your charm; then I will have a 5 billion bounty for slaughtering Celestial Dragons!"
Kiel Bastard killed a total of 25 Celestial Dragons before a powerful aura finally erupted from his body.
Though it wasn't overly exaggerated, it was indeed Conqueror's Haki, the proof of kings qualification!
At this moment, Kiel Bastard became the true Fan King of Gu Yue Fang Huo.
He would use Conqueror's Haki to show Sanbel, that Fishman who called himself the number one fan...
...that he, Kiel Bastard, was the ultimate Fan King of Fang Huo!
Conqueror's Haki would explain everything!
"No! You guys, you..."
"Damn it!!"
Seeing Kiel Bastard also awaken Conqueror's Haki, Ganzi's composure crumbled once again.
He had just made up his mind to stop worrying about the Celestial Dragons' retaliation and risk everything to kill them to find a chance to awaken Haoshoku.
However, Kiel Bastard's awakening made his mental state explode.
Besides a bit of envy, jealousy, and hate, his eyes also held panic and anxiety.
It felt as if whoever didn't awaken Conqueror's Haki now was a clown!
