"No, we are going to stay, although we can't stop this war, there are still innocent people here who need to be protected. If Luffy was still awake he would have done it, so we are kind of carrying out the captain's will."
Will looked at them with some surprise, and even Usopp, who was trembling all over with fear, didn't raise any objection.
Like-minded fellows?
It's easy to say, but you don't know how much weight the words 'like-mindedness' carry until you actually do it and look for it!
"As you wish, but don't try to go near the centermost battlefield, it's not a battle you can interfere with now."
"By the way, if you meet my people halfway, show them this gold coin, they will provide as much help as they can without affecting the mission, as a way to support your will."
As he spoke, Will activated a gold coin with the Soul Fruit and tossed it to Zoro.
The battle had reached this point, it was no longer possible to stop when you wanted to, otherwise, how could you do justice to those who had died in the war?
So even if he does sink the island, he'll find a way to kill that bastard Kaido before he makes any more sacrifices!
It was the only thing he could do!
Without saying a word, Zoro took the strange talking coin and pinned mother and daughter under his armpit again, for which Sanji, who was one step behind, almost had a real fight with him!
Everyone has their own path to choose, and kindness, the inability to ignore innocent people dying in front of their eyes, is perhaps the greatest weakness of the Straw Hat Pirates, as well as their most admirable flashpoint!
Hawkins, who has remained silent, has been pretending to be part of the straw hats during this period. He didn't think that such a big shot as 'Faceless' Will would deliberately remember his face, and even if he was unlucky that he was recognized, he would be fine as long as his identity that he had joined Kaido wasn't exposed.
What's more, he had risked his life to save the Straw Hat Pirates mascot for what?
Isn't it just to get them to 'shut up'!
However, when he saved Chopper with his ability just now, he had actually revealed his identity, or else he could have been fooled.
So when Hawkins pretended to be calm and was about to walk away from Will, Will suddenly put his right hand on his shoulder.
In just an instant, he lost all his strength and even the ability that had always made him so proud of himself completely disappeared!
Sea Stone!
There is sea stone in this gold gauntlet!
The divination showed that his only chance of survival was to stay close to the Straw Hat Pirates, which was the only thing that could not be wrong, and he had to trust that!
"Wait a minute! Help me!"
Chopped, who was following him, almost subconsciously exclaimed, "Ah!"
For a moment, everyone looked at the place.
"Basil Hawkins? If I remember correctly, you've joined Kaido, right?"
Hawkins' last shred of luck is gone!
He doesn't know how he was exposed, but there's no point in thinking about it at this point, he has to find a way to survive!
So he immediately forced himself to calm down, and then said: "I did join Kaido, but that's already in the past, just recently in a divination, I have already separated from the Hundred Beasts Pirates, and now I am a pirate who yearns for freedom, and many people can testify to this."
After saying that Hawkins looked first at Chopper, who nodded hesitantly under the earnest gaze of his saviour.
He didn't really know if the other man had broken away from Kaido, but he knew that if that identity was confirmed, then Hawkins would be dead!
He couldn't do that.
When Chopped nodded his head, Hawkins felt relieved, satisfied with himself for what he had left behind, and then immediately looked around.
In the end, even Zoro and Sanji, who had treated him most badly before, remained in a state of acquiescence, not trying to expose his unprovable lie.
In fact, it is not exactly a lie, because Hawkins is indeed ready to leave the Hundred Beasts Pirate Group, but just not yet in time.
Will took in the expressions of the people and probably guessed the relationship between them, so it's not that he can't be killed by force, it's just that there's no need.
Let him live for a while longer first.
"So that's how it is, interesting..."
Will withdrew his right hand and counted the time, Orochi and Ashura Doji might not be able to hold it anymore.
So he directly transformed into lightning and flew up into the sky, heading towards the battlefield that belonged to him!
As soon as Will left, the others all breathed a big sigh of relief, none other than because the oppressive feeling he brought was too heavy for them to bear.
Especially the moment he grabbed Hawkins, it seemed that the air around him dropped several degrees, giving people goosebumps!
"So scary... Finally gone." Usopp sat down on his butt in a very unimpressive manner.
Then there was a poof!
Hawkins spurted out a large mouthful of blood, and a small scarecrow fell out of his body, then slowly disintegrated as it fell, leaving only a little residue on the ground.
Some unlucky guy on a ship on the ocean suddenly shattered all over and died!
The look of extreme dread still remains on Hawkins' face, and if he hadn't stayed with the Straw Hat, he would have been dead!
Now he's pretty sure that the other guy has a death wish for him, and it's largely not because of Kaido, but probably because of his devil fruit!
What to do?
"Hey, are you okay? Why did you suddenly vomit blood? Did you just get hurt?"
"No, I'm fine, let's get out of here." After secretly counting the number of 'double straws' in his body, Hawkins' face immediately turned serious.
Chopper also wanted to check him out, but he refused to do so.
"The fatal crisis should be over by now, right? Are you still going to follow us?" At this time, Zoro, who had a very keen intuition, suddenly spoke up and asked.
Although this guy had saved Chopper, they had just returned the favour, otherwise, he would have been a dead man at the moment.
It's never completely reassuring to have such a dangerous guy with unknown intentions around.
"No, the danger is still there, and the deal won't be done until we leave the Country of Wano."
However, at this moment, Hawkins had already made up his mind to stay with the Straw Hat gang until he was completely safe.
Shame? Is it edible?
Not to mention the fact that Hawkins followed Zoro's group away without shame, Will, who rushed back to the battlefield, was directly shocked by the tragedy before him!
The seemingly fierce and invincible Yamata no Orochi has only three heads left, and the other five heads were full of holes as is spurting out blood from time to time.
But it seems that because of its special ability, even when it's in this state, he is not mortally wounded, and even those severed heads are growing back with disgusting pink sarcomas that are hard to look at!
However, in such a blink of an eye, Kaido, who had transformed into his half-dragon form, rose directly into the sky with his weapon, and then Will saw one of the three remaining heads of Orochi explode into a bloody mist!
Yes, a few other heads weren't chopped off either, they were just smashed in!
This kind of 'execution' battle had been going on for a while before he came.
In the gravel pile not far away, he can vaguely see Ashura Doji's body, whether he is still alive is unknown, but even if he is down, his sword was still in his hand!
But the most conscientious thing is the three big 'Homies', Malphite, Nasus, and Sol left behind by him. He doesn't know if these three guys were frightened by Kaido. They didn't dare to approach at all, and they transformed into a pure elemental, hiding far away while bombarding Kaido.
The fight was enormous, but if you look closely, you'll see that it was the massive Yamata no Orochi that took most of the damage.
The legendary pig teammates were probably talking about this kind of product!
The flying Will sneaks around to the back and then slaps the head of his Homies!
Suddenly attacked, the three Homies were frightened as they instinctively turned their attack on Will, but after seeing it was their master, they immediately stood to the side.
"I asked you guys to stay behind to help, and this is how you guys play ah? Don't you know that your master hates it when he has pig teammates!?"
It doesn't matter if they can understand him or not, Will went up and gave them another beating to educate them!
"Ang~!"
Sol shakes his dragon head unhappily and yells at Will.
It was as if to say, "It's not that we don't give a damn, but the enemy has a weapon of mass destruction."
Will didn't say a word as he rode up and hammered it, but he was merciful if he didn't add the word cape in between!
Just as Will was Educating his Homies, another head was hammered to burst, and now only one head is left of the eight-headed Orochi as he finally couldn't take it!
There was only a wailing sound that resounded in the sky, and the Eight Headed Snakes disappeared, leaving only Orochi covered in blood.
But Kaido was not as violent and invincible as he appeared to be, and he did not know how many attacks and bites he had endured with the combined efforts of Orochi Eight Headed Serpent Form and Ashura Doji.
However, Kaido's enhanced defence and self-healing ability made no difference on the surface, and only Orochi, who had been holding on until now, was vaguely aware of the fact that Kaido's physical strength was indeed declining.
The stiffness of some movements and the occasional quickened breathing rate were all evidence that even the unkillable Kaido had a fighting limit!
If there was no such limit, then the Navy would not have defeated and caught him multiple times, and the Whitebeard Pirates would not have been able to retreat intact.
So all the attacks up to this point have actually been effective!
This fact was heartening, but Orochi didn't dare to fight any longer, the difference in strength would hammer him into a pulp in the next fight, and he would have played first before dragging Kaido to his limit!
This was not part of his plan!
It was then that he finally noticed a man who was staying with the strange creatures!
'Faceless' Will is back, and this battle can be won!
Orochi dodged Kaido's deadly blow as fast as he could, and then shouted, "Kaido's energy consumption is already starting to feedback in all directions, now is the best time to do it.
"Huh? Are you... talking to me?"
Will's words made Orochi's heart sink, not knowing what had changed, had he given up?
No, no!
Kaido must die!
Even if we can't kill him, we have to find a way to defeat him first and then lock him up again!
Will could have quit at any time, but he couldn't, having come this far, if he stops, he will die!
In a trance, the fierce Hassaikai swept out like a thunderbolt, the same thunderbolt that Kaido used to spike Luffy!
Bang!
Orochi only had time to cross his arms in front of his chest, and then his whole body flew out like a meteor several hundred meters away and smashed heavily into the mountain, dead or alive!
"Tsk~"
Will, who witnessed the scene, subconsciously skimmed his lips, and said, "You only have that kind of strength and you dare to say such words as joining forces? You're not worthy!"
For those who don't trust him, Will will never hand over his back, and there might be a knife stabbed in his back at some point.
So he chose to stand idly by until the ugly looking Orochi was smashed away by Kaido, hitting a home run!
"Be smart you guys, and if you screw up again like before, you'll have to find your own way to fill your bellies from now on!"
Malphite, Nasus, and Sol immediately got red-eyed. Nasus was fine, though a little tricky, but with an effort he can always find something to eat.
But you tell me, where do I usually find lightning and lava?
After threatening his 'sons', Will turned into a bolt of lightning and came directly in front of Kaido, the 'dragon man'.
Well, what an ugly chicken!
Especially the one sapling dragon horn on the head, how funny it looks!
As soon as Will appeared, he rekindled Kaido's anger with his own eyes!
"Now that no one has interfered with our fight, don't regret it when you go to hell!"
"You're the one who's going to die, Kaido!"
Once again, the thick, hideous Hassaikai and the indestructible Infinity Gauntlet collide violently!
This time, however, it's Will who laughed!
"It seems those two really drain you out...now it's time to die!"
Boom!
