บท 157: Chapter 160

Amell floated in front of Kaido's body with his golden-coloured emperor sword. This was a blade specifically crafted for Amell. The sword was nothing like the one the Light unit agent carried around. The incredible detail around the hilt spoke of great royalty. The pure golden blade had a small golden light coming off it and it gave off a real worldly pressure to the especially weak-willed individuals gazing at it.

"Do you understand now, Kaido? You and your crew were never our equal, and I sincerely apologize for making you think so. If you had understood the difference earlier maybe you wouldn't have lost everything this day. But you can't change the past, now can you." Kaido had reverted to his human form already and he was lying on the ground slowly dying a torturous death. His face had lost all colour, indicating no life in his body. But his eyes held an incredible flame of anger. He was staring at Amell with pure unadulterated hatred, not thinking about how close he was to die.

"It-It's impossible for y-you... You can not stop i-it!" Kaido said and coughed up some blood.

"Are you talking about your great war? May I ask how exactly you will start when you won't live past today?" Amell's voice was powerful and deep, and it demanded attention from everyone on the battlefield.

"No matter that I die. This world has always travelled down the path of destruction. It will happen one way or another. If I can't start it, someone else will, maybe you will, Amell!" Kaido started laughing while blood was spewing out from his mouth like a volcano.

"I will not play into your fantasies, Kaido. But let me tell you something. If a war does happen, you are a fool to think I will allow it to consume this world. The moment I arrived here and created the Gotei Thirteen, this worlds fate was placed upon my palm. Nothing shall happen in this world without my approval." Amell's voice went dark and it spread despair on the souls of the remaining beast pirates,

"You're the one living in a fantasy, Amell! A war is coming! You can't stop it!" Kaido was laughing like a maniac. Amell activated his conqueror's Haki and just like a pulse wave, it spread across the battlefield and knocked out every single remaining beast pirate.

"Kaido, that's where you are wrong. War isn't coming, war just ended!" Amell raised his sword with a stoic expression. Kaido's Haki flared up one last time as he screamed, "AME..." the golden sword came down and separated Kaido from his head before he could fully scream out and curse his name one last time.

"Your death is tragic but it was overdue by a few decades. The blood you spilt in the name of your fanatic beliefe in war is on my hands." Amell sighed out loud and sheathed his sword. He took a look around the battlefield before locking eyes with Byakuya and waving him over. He appeared before him in a flash, standing on one of his pink petals.

"Byakuya, this war is over! Finish off them all, we don't need them in this world anymore. And make sure Kaido's fruit comes into our possession." Amell was referring to the unconscious beast pirates scattered across the battlefield.

"Yes, grandfather!" Byakuya said and disappeared in a flash. Amell turned back to Kaido and summoned a flame to his hand. "The least I can do now is give you a proper funeral." Amell's flame quickly changed colour and quickly became pure white. The ice around him started melting and the Goteu pirates standing around admiring him backed off because they suddenly felt themselves having a hard time breathing. "Goodbye!" He said and sent the flame towards Kaido's body. When the flame touched Kaido's body, it took no more than one second for the flame to consume the corpse of one of this world's emperors.

Amell took a breath in and then breathed out, "Good. This proved to be quite a productive day after all. Now I just need to talk to that flamingo boy." He stretched his arms and disappeared from sight like teleportation.
