Chapter 272
—
It has been about 2 hours since Live Stream suddenly disconnected.
Not only the people in the outside world, even the people in Alabasta, where Sin is located, no one knows what is happening outside.
Everyone held their breaths, waiting for the winner to appear; which some of them could already guess.
What they witnessed today in war was none other than divinity and divinity.
They knew the people who called themselves Einherjar were strong and numerous. From birth, everyone was taught to believe that the Heavenly Dragon was the supreme ruler of the world, and opposing them was basically death. So seeing those Heavenly Guardians, the Marines and the Five Elders, die like that at the hands of a group of Pirates was an unbelievable thing for most people.
If not for the live broadcast they were watching with their own eyes, no one would believe such news. Heck, some people doubt whether they're dreaming or not, or whether this is some sort of hallucination.
However, it's just the people who live in the blues. People on the Grandline are not delusional enough to doubt what they see, as they have witnessed such power plays over the past 9 months.
But since the majority of people live in the Blues, it would be very disturbing to expand Amon's influence around there if they were so much to deny.
Just when everyone was about to return home, thinking they would not know the outcome of today's war, the light on the big screen lit up again.
["Oh, whatever."]
The demon-like man with two red horns and the same red eyes, Amon, tapped the camera with his finger and smiled seeing a power appear.
People all over the world looked at his face, charming as a prince but terrifying as a demon, with different kinds of gazes.
The people who were part of Einherjar, Valkyrie Without Wings, and under the protection of Amon's power until now, cheered that seemed to shake the whole world.
The people who hoped he would lose, constantly let out long sighs. It seemed to release a breeze all over the world.
Of course, what were they thinking.. If even the marines could not defeat Amon's subordinates, what could Shanks do? The same Shanks who had been in hiding for a year.
Amon pulled his face back from the camera, which immediately shattered the little hope left in the few people as they looked at his background.
He's in Mariejoa.
The shattered Mariejoa, to be exact, where a firestorm raged and lightning of a different color snatched from the sky, by itself.
Men and women, who most people in the world have seen wearing helmets made of bubbles all their lives, are now running with desperate cries, leave their clothes to not let the heavyweights drag them down. Their naked bodies hung around as they ran, and that same body fell to the ground with charred skin on fire as a bolt of lightning fell from the sky.
Everyone watched as Amon seemed to click on the button that turned the camera back. Therefore show them the clear view that is going on in Mariejoa, the kingdom in heaven.
"I-can't be. He killed them... World Nobles..."
"Isn't the government going to punish him for that?"
Most government officials had to be present in Mariejoa, to ensure the safety of the World Nobles. For that reason, some people wondered if those people could do something to Amon.
Yet...
"Don't be stupid! This scene is enough to prove that the government is not concerned with their deaths!"
...People who have accepted reality are simply scornful of the idea.
The organization had been rebuilt with new recruits, but even the strongest ones could barely match the Vice Admiral's strength. At the same time, other government officials would rather run for their lives than risk it all for some dying pigs.
Although inside the camera, people saw some ordinary officers still rushing into the flames to try and save the ruler of this world, he said, but they couldn't even defend themselves when continuous lightning strikes hit their heads and caused them to explode like watermelons. .
["Boom, there's one more. Holy wow.]
The man behind all this laughed to himself, and since one could not see his expression, they could only imagine his evil grin as he watched his weak and helpless opponent being slaughtered like cattle.
People flinched at his words. How could he take this as a joke even when hundreds of people were dying?!
"I'm thinking why he hasn't killed those pigs yet." Among the crowd in an unknown part of the world, an old man, weak and thin, spoke as tears welled up in his eyes. "I've been waiting for this day!!"
"Kill 'em! Kill them all! I'm on your side!"
As the old man shouted, throwing his hands into the air, people watched him with trembling eyes. Surprising them, more and more people joined the old man in his cheers as all their dark memories of the World Nobles flashed in their eyes.
"Kill them all, Celestial Emperor-No, no." The old man shook his head in the middle of the road. Calling him an Emperor would not work, as he was now the ruler of the world. His eyes shone when he remembered what the Ammonites called him. "...Kill them all, God Amon!"
"...What's?"
"God Amon, kill them all!"
Despite the reluctance and shock of the majority, the words spread like a frenzy, and a small percentage of the people in the world, a small portion of them, shouted the name of Ammon with cheers.
As if he could hear their cheers, Amon sneered again and the camera turned to his face again.
["From Heaven to the New World, the current Zero Marine base remains."] Amon spoke to the camera. ["The Blues, however, still have some intact Navy bases, which I don't like at all. At the same time, I also don't like unnecessary splinters of blood. You have a week, Surrender Marines, escape from your base, and run away, away from your base. Because from this moment onwards, this whole world .. is under my Rule, and no one who dares to oppose me will see the sun in the next day."]
...Indeed, the world now has a new ruler.
—★—
The people in Alabasta were getting more and more worried every second, as it had been almost 7 hours since Amon sent them back.
A few seconds ago, their eyes shone with hope as a huge gate opened in the air of the Dimension Door, just before the entire island was pulled out of dimension.
They became alarmed when they realized that the Kingdom of Alabasta was now standing on the Redline ground, and some of them could see the burning city very far from their position.
"What's going on?"
People throughout the kingdom were terrified for a moment, some hugging each other. But the moment the only figure appeared in the sky, standing in front of the twilight sun behind him, everyone's shoulders loosened.
"Um.." a civilian boy, who looked like an early teenager, shouted. "Are we winning?!"
To his question, everyone started from the numbers with hope.
As the sun was right behind him, people could not see his face, however, as the sun slowly sank in the western sky, the tooth smile on their ruler, Amon's face, became clear to everyone.
"What do you think?"
That's not a question.it's an answer. An answer that at that moment, everyone had expected would come.
In a row, everyone shouted in cheers like, at the same time, the people who took part in the fight today fell flat on their backs with a sigh of relief.
