One piece: Starting as a Mythical Beast

At this moment, everyone witnessing Kronos chop off the Celestial Dragon's leg was dumbfounded!

But soon, their stunned expressions gave way to boundless fear.

The next second, someone suddenly stood up and shouted at Kronos:

"Damn! Are you crazy?!

Cutting down a Celestial Dragon — are you trying to get yourself killed?!

Aren't you afraid the World Government will come after you?!

Damn it! Even if you die, you've doomed us all!

The Marine Admirals will come!

Stop him! If the Celestial Dragon dies here, we're all in big trouble!"

The crowd stood up one after another, their momentum fueled by mutual encouragement.

In that moment, they forgot all about the Celestial Dragons' atrocities against them — all they could do was shout at Kronos.

Amid the pained wails of the Celestial Dragon and the crowd's crusade, the black mist swirling around Kronos' body grew even thicker.

Then, Kronos turned his head slowly, his cold eyes scanning the crowd gathered on the street.

He spoke coldly, "Do you think I won't kill innocent people indiscriminately?"

As he spoke, Kronos slowly raised the long black mist blade in his hand.

Seeing this, the faces of the crowd changed instantly —

This was not what they had expected.

His expression made it clear: he truly intended to kill!

Before the crowd could react, Kronos raised his sword and slashed!

Clang! Hum!!

A sharp humming sound exploded.

A black crescent-shaped slash flew out from Kronos' sword, slicing through the space itself.

It was as if the very air was being torn open!

Shh!!! Chong!!!

At the same time, in an alley nearby, Capone Bege's pupils suddenly shrank.

A strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart — the alarm bells rang loudly.

Without hesitation, Bege shouted, "Get down!"

At that moment, all members of the Flame Tank Pirates fell to the ground.

Chong!!!

They watched in horror as the surrounding houses were sliced in half, the upper and lower parts separated by several meters.

Even from the alley, bypassing house after house to escape the chaos caused by Kronos, the Flame Tank Pirates could clearly see Kronos holding the long black mist blade.

"Is this for real?!

This guy—he even cut the houses in two?!"

The Flame Tank Pirates trembled in fear.

Just then, the upper half of one house, suspended briefly in mid-air, came crashing down.

Bang!! Boom rumble!!!

A deafening roar filled the air as thick dust swept over the area.

Covered in the dust cloud, everyone in the Flame Tank Pirates was drenched in cold sweat.

"Who was the idiot who suggested going up to stop that guy earlier?!

This kind of monster… can anyone really stop him?!"

Bege swallowed hard, fear creeping into his voice.

Meanwhile, at the scene where Kronos stood — no one dared make a sound.

Kronos had sliced the people and buildings on one side in two with a single slash.

Blood gushed out like a tidal wave.

The silence was chilling — not even a single mourner dared to cry out.

On the other side, the crowd was so terrified they barely dared to breathe.

Kronos stepped on the head of the Celestial Dragon, whose eyes were still half-closed, curled on the ground.

Standing tall with the black mist sword held firmly in both hands, Kronos glanced coldly at the kneeling crowd and spoke in a chilling voice:

"I killed the Celestial Dragon.

Whether it's you, the Marines, or the World Government —

If you want to fight me, then come!

Come and try!

I — Kronos — am right here!"

His voice rang out loudly, the intensity of his aura bursting forth without holding back.

Boom!!

The ground beneath Kronos' feet cracked and collapsed, countless fissures spreading rapidly like cobwebs.

The black streaks in his eyes grew sharper, and the black mist flooding from his body soared, spreading in all directions.

Boom!!!

At that moment, the sky above darkened.

Clouds rolled and boiled, white clouds turning into ominous dark ones, rumbling as if angry.

The entire Sabaody Archipelago was shrouded in darkness — no longer bright as before.

Kronos, draped in thick black mist and holding his sword with both hands, looked like a god.

The overwhelming pressure forced the crowd to bow their heads, some even collapsing to the ground unconscious.

Others crawled silently on the ground.

Before long, hundreds of Marine reinforcements arrived —

But the Celestial Dragon had already been tortured to death by Kronos.

Even the hundreds of Marines who came as support were all slaughtered by Kronos alone.

News of this incident quickly spread to the World Government, reaching the Holy Land —

Mariejois.

In an empty conference room, a burly man suddenly slammed his fists down on the table with a boom!

His face twisted into an ugly grimace, head bowed, teeth clenched.

"Damn it!!

Why?!

Why now?!

Why must such a thing happen at a time like this?!"
