Chapter 472

The headquarters of the Sea Patrol.

After splitting the island into two parts, Belous was left face to face with Garp, Sengoku and the others.

He fought Garp and Sengoku alone, allowing Phoenix Marco, Ace and the others to safely retreat from the battlefield.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!

The rumble of terrifying collisions resounded throughout the island.

At his peak, Belous might have been able to hold off the onslaught of Garp and Sengoku alone, but at this moment he was in too serious a condition.

The entire body of Belous was covered with wounds, after encountering several dozen furious blows from Sengoku and Garp.

A huge stream of blood was flowing down Belous ' chest, but he continued to stand as if nothing had happened!

He fought with his own life to detain Sengoku and Garp!

"Damn..."

Although Sengoku Buddha perfectly understood the purpose of Belous, but it was impossible to just rush in pursuit of Ace and the others, because Belous was ready to pay with his life to stop them!!

If Sengoku tries to give chase, Belous immediately attacks him with all his might, while not caring about Garp's attack at all.

Belous, who was in such a state, was the most dangerous opponent, even despite the most difficult physical condition.

Boom! Boom!!

As the battle continued, Belous received more and more injuries, his movements became viscous and heavy, and his physical strength weakened.

But by this time, Ace and the others had already managed to escape to a sufficient distance.

«...»

Belous raised Murakumogiri, about to deliver the last blow of his life, but suddenly turned his head sharply, looking at the back of the huge fortress of the headquarters of the Sea Patrol.

Marco and the others also felt something and looked in the same direction as Belous.

Soon, all the Pirates of Belous clenched their fists tightly and gnashed their teeth, and rage flashed in their eyes.

"Teach!!!"

The numerous Pirates of Belous exclaimed angrily.

Garp, Sengoku, and the others stopped their attacks, turning their heads in the direction of the huge fortress behind them.

There they saw Rain Shiryu and the rest of the Blackbeard Pirates sauntering out of the rear of the fortress one by one, led by Tich.

"Father, you don't look very good, ze-ha-ha-ha!"

Teach spread his hands to the sides and laughed loudly, looking at Belous.

Rage flashed in the eyes of Belous, chained to Tich, and the wounded and dying body was filled with strength again.

He took a step in the direction of Blackbeard, passing by Sengoku and Garp.

«...»

Garp and Sengoku did nothing, because Blackbeard was also an enemy of the Sea Patrol.

Instead of blocking Belous and the Blackbeard Pirates at the same time, they chose to let Belous fight Blackbeard.

Whitebeard and Garp stared at Teach, not taking a single step yet.

It seems that the Blackbeard Pirates have also become a huge threat, after recruiting several of the most dangerous criminals Impel Down!

"Teach!!"

Belous attacked Teach with a furious cry.

But all of his attacks didn't have much effect.

Perhaps being at the peak, Belous could really destroy the Blackbeard Pirates, along with Tich, who had not yet got Gura Gura no Mi, but in his current state, there was no hope at all.

Gradually, under the hail of attacks by the Blackbeard Pirates, the body of Belous, driven by willpower alone, reached the limit and motionlessly froze in place.

On top of the badly damaged fortress of the headquarters of the Sea Patrol, Yeruashi stood unnoticed by everyone.

Of course, he could have intervened and saved Belous, but instead he chose to watch his last battle from the sidelines, without even announcing his presence.

This is the choice of Belous.

To interfere with the last choice of a person who has stood on the absolute top of the sea for many years would be an insult.

Although from the point of view of Yeruashi, the strength of Belous was not very great, but still he recognized and respected this legendary man who had reached the peak of this world with his own strength.

Finally.

The last remnants of vital force left the motionless body of Belous.

The sad cries of the sons and the loud laughter of Blackbeard, which reached the ears of Belous, mixed with the loud sounds of battle, gradually subsided.

The world before Belous ' eyes blurred and completely disappeared, replaced by an endless white space.

"This is the place..."

"Where do people go after death?"

Belous whispered softly, looking at the boundless and desolate white space, but in the next moment, his eyes suddenly widened sharply.

Because in this lifeless and empty world, a black silhouette suddenly appeared.

It was a man walking slowly in his direction, with a bottle of wine in his hand.

Soon, Belous was able to clearly make out the features of the approaching silhouette.

The traveler!

"You..."

Belous took a deep breath.

At first, Belous thought that Yeruashi was also dead, but immediately rejected this thought, knowing perfectly well that no one in this world is capable of killing this person.

"Let's have one last drink, Belous."

Yeruashi walked slowly through the misty space and sat down, putting the bottle in front of him, and then waved his hand to Belous.

Silence.

Two huge bowls appeared out of nowhere in front of him.

Belous gradually recovered from the shock and took a deep breath: "So you really are ... a god? Even the world of the dead..."

Belous, as an incredibly experienced and seasoned pirate, was absolutely sure that he was already dead.

This should be a place where people go after death, but Yeruashi was able to safely enter here while alive.

This clearly indicates that Yeruashi has already erased the border, going beyond life and death.

This is inherent in a real god, but not in an ordinary person.

"It all depends on who God is in your understanding..."

"Perhaps from your point of view, I can really be considered a god, but this is not the world of the dead, but an intermediate stop located between the worlds of the living and the dead."

Yeruashi calmly said to Belous, filling two large bowls with wine, and put one of them in front of him: "Drink the last cup of wine before you go to the world of the dead."

Belous tilted his head, looking at the transparent wine in the bowl, and laughed loudly: "Gu-ra-ra-ra, can I have any regrets since God himself decided to drink wine with me before sending me to another world?!"

Belous realized during their first meeting that Yeruashi is strong to such an extent that it is impossible to see even the approximate limit of his strength.

Then Belous really wanted to find out how strong Yeruashi really is, but he only said in response that he might find out about it in the future.

Now he really found out...

Beyond life and death!

Not a false 'god' from the heavenly island and not an arrogant Heavenly Dragon who fancied himself a 'god', but a true god standing above the mortal world!

This means that he did not yield to man, but to God!

He is still the strongest!

The strongest Man in the World!

There were no more regrets left in Belous ' heart.

Splash!

He raised his hand and emptied the huge cup of wine in one fell swoop.

"Now..."

Yeruashi also emptied the cup of wine and stood up, looking at Belous: "... it's your time, Belous."

He turned around and walked into the distance, gradually disappearing into the fog of the boundless world, and the figure of Belous gradually dissipated.

Belous.

Edward Newgate.

He's dead!
