Chapter 143 The war is over, the wicked fifth emperor!
🕑 Added 2025-06-08 11:31:45 +0000 UTC"What terrifying destructive power is this?!" Sengoku’s eyes widened.
He looked away in disbelief.
That huge ravine had directly split Marineford in two.
Whitebeard, standing beside Rao, looked at it and couldn’t help but speak.
“Is this the new star of the new age?”
“It really… shines with a dazzling light!”
In mid-air, Asaq and the others looked at their captain and crew, witnessing the demonstration of their power.
Everyone was thrilled to the utmost, their faces flushed with excitement.
“Sharp!!!”
“Captain, they’re too strong!!”
“These are the Kamui Pirates!!”
At this moment, Asaq and the others felt a strong sense of pride because they belonged to the Kamui Pirates.
“Eight Forty Zero!”
They held their heads high, raising the Kamui Pirates flag.
The double-winged blindfolded skull emblem fluttered wildly in the sea breeze.
Crash!
Below, above the battlefield, Kronos slowly stood up.
Looking at Marineford, now a land of ruins.
Looking at the crowd—Marines and pirates mixed together—he smiled and called out loudly,
“Fall back!”
At Kronos’ command, the sound of orderly landing followed.
Da da!
Payne Six Paths took the lead, returning to Kronos’ side and standing behind him.
Madara, in Susanoo’s forehead, heard Kronos’ words and slowly withdrew Susanoo, falling beside Kronos.
Soon after, Konan and Jiguo Yuanyi also returned to Kronos’ side.
Noticing the movements of the Kamui Pirates, Sengoku was startled.
He suddenly turned to Kronos and shouted angrily,
“You bastard!”
“You want to leave just like this?!”
Kronos laughed contemptuously in response.
“How?”
“You want us to kill you all before we leave?”
Sengoku was stunned by this.
He subconsciously glanced around the ruined Marineford.
Garp had fallen, Sakazuki was down, and both Aokiji and Kizaru were nowhere to be found.
The Marines now only had him left at the top of their strength!
Even the 100,000 elite Marines had been killed or wounded more than half.
The Whitebeard Pirates were no better off.
Fourteen division commanders were dead or wounded beyond half!
Forty-three affiliated pirate crews had been nearly wiped out!
Though Sengoku had planned for this outcome before the battle with the Whitebeard Pirates, he had not accounted for the Kamui Pirates.
Now, with both the Marines and Whitebeard severely weakened, the Kamui Pirates had everything to gain.
No… that’s not right!
Even if the Kamui Pirates devastated both Marines and Whitebeard’s crew, what benefit would they truly have?!
Thinking this over, Sengoku gritted his teeth and asked Kronos in a low voice,
“Why are you doing this?!”
“What’s your goal, and what do you hope to gain?!”
Hearing Sengoku’s question, Kronos smiled.
His Devil Fruit ability began to unfold again.
While lifting his crew, he smiled calmly.
“Didn’t I say it from the start?”
“We’re here just to stir up trouble, to overturn this war!”
As for the real purpose, naturally, it’s for prestige.
But even hearing this, Sengoku would not understand.
Now that their goal had been achieved, Kronos felt much better.
Though a bit tired, he was quite talkative.
“You’re probably wondering why we didn’t wipe you out when you were at your weakest.”
“I can tell you it’s because you’re still useful to me!”
“At least, now is not the time for you to die!”
He didn’t kill the Marines because when dominating the world, maintaining order requires manpower — so Marines are essential.
Of course, big changes are inevitable.
He didn’t eliminate Whitebeard because destroying Marineford was already a huge boost to the Kamui Pirates’ prestige.
Even if Whitebeard died, it wouldn’t matter much to the world.
That would very likely lead to a big drop in income!
The worst outcome would be losing a valuable target to keep exploiting.
But that opportunity is only once!
Back at the spatial boundary wall in mid-air, Asaq and the others bowed respectfully to Kronos and the rest.
At this moment, they had nothing but endless admiration and yearning for Kronos and the Kamui Pirates!
Kronos smiled and nodded.
Then raised his hand.
“Om!!”
Dang bang!!!
Accompanied by a harsh, crisp sound, the void shattered.
The dark pathway appeared before everyone simultaneously.
With the dark path’s appearance, Asaq and the others immediately stepped aside to clear the way for Kronos.
Before leaving, Kronos glanced back at Whitebeard and smiled meaningfully.
“We will meet again!”
“The Sea Emperor, Edward Newgate!”
Finally, Kronos led his crew into the dark path.
The space closed.
The Kamui Pirates disappeared from Marineford.
Vanished as if they had never been there.
Below, everyone could only watch them leave.
Do nothing.
“Will we meet again?”
“The Kamui Pirates…”
“The next time we meet, it should be when you want to take my life?”
“Old man…”
“Come on then!”
“I’m waiting for you!!!”
Watching Kronos and his crew’s power, Whitebeard laughed boldly, unafraid.
