"This guy is too terrifying!"
Kaku patted his chest with lingering fear, his pale face filled with relief from escaping a disaster.
He then stood up and walked to Lucci's side, looking down at his twisted arm and caved-in chest, and asked with concern, "Are you alright, Lucci?"
"I'm fine."
Lucci looked up, exhaled, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva mixed with blood, saying, "This guy is the most terrifying person I've ever met."
He paused slightly at this, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes. "With his strength and teleportation ability, it's impossible for him to let us leave. I don't know why? I always feel like this guy deliberately let us enter Bruno's door."
"Don't worry, Lucci."
At this moment, other CP9 members also walked over. Bruno glanced at the surrounding space and then proudly said, "Who cares if it was intentional or not?"
"As long as we are within this door to another world, no one in this world can find us."
"Mm!"
Everyone nodded, agreeing with this point.
After hearing Bruno's words, Lucci gradually let go of his worries, but he still had a vague sense of danger reminding him that this place was not safe.
So he reached out, grabbed Kaku's shoulder, and slowly stood up. He looked up at the sky at the street that seemed to be collapsing, and the silver-haired figure on the street. Then he withdrew his gaze and looked forward, "Let's go quickly!"
"I always feel like something bad is about to happen."
"Mm!"
The others didn't say much. Kaku supported Lucci and walked forward, with the others following closely.
...
Outside.
"Interesting."
"Interesting..."
Kouta stared at the place where Bruno had disappeared, as if he had discovered something amusing.
His eyes sparkled with the light of discovering something new.
He noticed that behind the door this guy opened in the void was another void, an incredibly vast void.
There was nothing in that void, yet it contained the oxygen necessary for life.
This situation reminded him of parallel worlds.
The world behind that door might be another parallel world.
His parallel world here was not a world where the world developed in two directions.
Instead, that world was a void template of the outside world.
One entity, two aspects.
"This world is getting more and more interesting!"
"Hahahahaha!!"
Kouta withdrew his gaze and habitually reached for his waist with his left hand.
"Mm!"
His laughter abruptly stopped. He realized he hadn't brought his wine gourd.
Shaking his head, he withdrew his hand and gave an embarrassed smile.
"I have a craving for alcohol. Let's finish these guys quickly and go for a drink!"
Kouta raised his head, his gaze falling on a person who clearly appeared to be a Marine general, revealed after the CP9 members left. "Marines, I remember I told Sengoku that if the Marines trouble me again, I won't let them off. You guys..."
"Why are you so forgetful?"
As he spoke, his eyes narrowed, and he stared at the Marine general. A killing intent flashed in his azure pupils.
"Hoo~"
The Marine general suddenly felt the pressure on his soul disappear. He quickly suppressed the fear in his heart, took a deep breath, and without begging for mercy or saying any extra words, he held his head high and stared at Kouta with a determined expression.
Spandam was his superior. Even if he was unwilling, he could not disobey military orders.
All he could do now was to stand tall and not shame the Marines or the justice they represented.
As for anything else, he didn't want to think about it.
"Courageous."
Kouta stared at the Marine general, a hint of red light appearing in his eyes. His Kenbunshoku Haki instantly swept across the area, covering all the Marines.
Then the red light in his eyes disappeared, and cold killing intent gradually emerged.
With a thought, more than half of the Marines were instantly crushed into the ground by an unknown pressure.
There were no screams, only a "poof" sound like a water balloon bursting, with water splashing everywhere.
However, even this bursting sound was confined to a small area and could not spread out.
Soon, blood quickly stained the street red, and the extreme smell of blood, carried by the wind, drifted through the space, like lovers in passion, lingering around everyone's noses, never dissipating, but instead growing stronger.
The remaining Marines watched their companions, who were fine just moments ago, suddenly crushed into the ground by an unknown force and then exploded. They all trembled, their faces pale, exuding extreme fear.
This hellish scene gave them an unprecedented psychological shock.
They would probably never forget this dark night, nor the silver-white figure standing at the entrance of the inn!
That was a devil, a true devil.
"Clean it up. I don't want to see any blood on the street tomorrow morning."
He withdrew his spatial domain and looked at the Marine general one last time. "And keep it down, don't wake up the people around, especially my companions."
After speaking, he took a step forward.
Dong—!
With this one step, his body seemed to have stepped out of this world, half of his body disappearing, half still outside, and the space in front of him rippled.
As he raised his other leg and stepped into the spatial ripple, his entire figure completely vanished, as if he had never been there.
He knew there were corrupt elements among the Marines, so he always used his Kenbunshoku Haki to screen them whenever he encountered Marines.
The ones he met in the past were mostly all just.
So he let them go.
But now, among the people following Spandam, there were clearly many corrupt elements.
This led to his first large-scale killing of Marines.
However, such things were unavoidable. He killed them, so be it. Who told them to follow the wrong leader and come before him!
"Hoo~"
Seeing that the terrifying demon king had truly left.
The remaining Marines around immediately bent down, supporting their knees with their hands, gasping for air like drowning fish.
The Marine general also breathed a sigh of relief. He tilted his head and looked at the dead Marines around him, a hint of confusion in his eyes. "Why didn't this guy kill all of them? Did he really just leave them to clean up?"
Then, as if he had thought of something, his eyes lit up.
He thought he knew why these Marines had died.
As his subordinates, and at the same time as Spandam's subordinates, even if he didn't know exactly what these subordinates did on a daily basis, he could still sense their wickedness.
And the Marines who had just died were precisely the ones who usually obeyed Spandam the most.
"Colonel, what do we do next?"
At this moment, a Marine soldier behind him stepped forward and asked him with a pale face.
"What do we do?"
The Colonel turned and glanced at the remaining Marines, his gaze falling on the Marine who asked him. "Let's report what happened here first. We can't interfere with the matters of the silver-haired group."
"As for here..."
He paused here and looked down at the bodies on the ground, his tone heavy. "Collect the bodies of your comrades and take them back to the warship, and then..."
"Then clean the street!"
The bodies of their comrades obviously could not be left here. As for cleaning the ground, he thought about it and decided to be cautious and clean it. Otherwise, if that terrifying guy came back, none of them would be able to leave.
