Chapter 73 The Ultimate Humiliation [Those who find it cruel to Oden can skip this chapter]
The echoes of that terrifying beam of light piercing the sky seemed to still resonate throughout the heavens and earth.
Violet of Dressrosa held the OK sign with both hands in front of her eyes.
Those eyes, radiating a purple glow, were filled with indescribable horror.
As a user of the Gaze-Gaze Fruit, her vision far surpasses that of ordinary people, allowing her to detect even the slightest clues within a radius of 4000 kilometers.
But what she saw at that moment shattered her worldview.
In the far reaches of the universe, there was a planet that had been quietly resting there.
At this moment, only a void of dust and slowly spreading ripples of energy remained.
Just like that, under Broly's single blow, not even a trace remained.
"The planet... has disappeared?" Violet murmured to herself, her voice trembling.
On the ground, the other spectators on Pirate Planet, including the powerful pirates and marines, were unaware of this and could only see a bright star in the night sky suddenly dim and then disappear completely.
Even so, the visual impact is terrifying enough.
Before this, who would have dared to say they could destroy the stars in the universe?
"What the hell is that move?"
"How far would it have to go to destroy a star?"
"This is no longer within the realm of humanity! This is a monster—a god!"
"Do these legendary ancient weapons really possess such power?"
In ports, pubs, and naval bases around the world, countless people stopped what they were doing, looked up at the starry sky, and their faces were filled with fear.
Currently, no one knows how powerful the ancient weapons that have survived to this day are.
However, according to many pirates' word of mouth, Pluton, one of the three great weapons, has the power to destroy an island with a single blow.
This has already been regarded as the most powerful force in the world.
But destroying an island and destroying a star are completely different concepts!
Putting everything else aside, the distance alone is on a completely different scale.
For a time, the whole world fell silent.
Whether it was the territory of a royal-level pirate crew, the Marine Headquarters, or the lofty Mary Geoise, everyone stared in disbelief at the demonic ape covered in turquoise mane on the screen.
Broly smacked his lips casually after firing a single shot.
He turned to look at the deathly silent battlefield, a hint of mockery flashing in his previously ferocious beastly eyes. He raised an eyebrow. "Why is the entire court silent?"
No one understood what Broly meant by his eloquent words, and no one even dared to respond to him.
Everyone was stunned by the devastating scene they had just witnessed, their legs feeling like lead and unable to move.
Left with no other option, Broly spoke again, his tone filled with deep disappointment: "Hey, I'm asking you guys, are you still going to fight or not?"
Everyone understood what he meant.
"Clang!"
Suddenly, a crisp sound came from within the samurai group.
A burly samurai's arms suddenly went limp, and his katana fell heavily to the ground with a piercing thud.
"How could we possibly win?! How could we possibly win?!"
The martial arts master trembled all over, his face ashen, and kept repeating the same sentence.
The next second, he seemed to collapse, turning around and fleeing frantically in the opposite direction of the battlefield, tumbling and crawling.
After the first person, there was a second, and a third.
Panic spread like a plague.
Whether it was the samurai group under the Kozuki family who were originally ready to die, or the mink tribe who followed Goat Sihan to wade into troubled waters, they were all terrified and lost all fighting spirit.
They threw down their weapons and scrambled to turn and run, fearing that if they were too slow, they would become cosmic dust like that star.
"this one?"
Broly glanced at the routed crowd opposite him, curled his lip in disdain, and shrugged.
He had been expecting a big battle, but it turned out that this group of people had such poor mental fortitude.
Under the watchful eyes of the world, Broly's emerald green aura slowly dissipated, and he returned to his original form from his towering, tens-of-meters-tall demonic ape state.
However, because the transformation had torn all his clothes, he was now completely naked.
Even though he is only about one meter tall, his muscle lines are still full of explosive power.
"Broly, come here."
At this moment, Yamato stepped forward, his face showing a hint of concern and—a barely perceptible blush.
She took off her coat and handed it to Broly.
Broly took it without hesitation and wrapped it around his waist like an apron, only covering his vital parts.
Tesoro and Hancock, watching from afar, couldn't help but grit their teeth inwardly.
Damn it, they beat us to it!
Just then, a series of heavy footsteps sounded.
Kaido clutched the deep, bone-revealing wound in his abdomen, using his massive spiked club as a crutch, and struggled to stand up again.
His bloodshot eyes were fixed on the fleeing figures as he roared, "Chase them! Kill them all!"
Although these people are insignificant to Broly, they are definitely a serious threat to him and his Beasts Pirates.
Moreover, Kaido himself is very clear that although Broly usually calls him "brother" and seems quite affectionate at first glance, he actually doesn't have much affection for him at all.
If you cross him, he will kill you without hesitation.
Moreover, if someone were to seek revenge against him, Broly would almost certainly not help.
Therefore, it is now necessary to eradicate them completely and wipe out all the people of Wano Country, as well as the remnants of the Mink Tribe.
As one of Kaido's trusted lieutenants, King immediately understood his boss's meaning. He raised his arm and shouted, "Beasts Pirates, heed my command! Pursue!"
In an instant, the remnants of the Beasts Pirates pounced on the fleeing samurai group and the Mink Tribe like hungry wolves.
"Arrest him."
Broly stretched and then gave a thumbs-up, pointing at Kozuki Oden, whom he had just placed on the outskirts of the battlefield and who was still in a daze.
At this moment, Kozuki Oden also realized what was happening.
He glanced at the invincible Broly, then at the samurai fleeing in the opposite direction, gritted his teeth, and turned to run.
It wasn't that he wanted to abandon Wano Country, but he felt that with Broly, that monster, around, it would be impossible to take back Wano Country, at least in the short term.
But before that, at least you have to send your wife and children away. As long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback.
Unfortunately, Kozuki Oden was overthinking things.
He wanted to send his wife and children away. Didn't Broly think of that?
"Oden!"
Kozuki Oden had only run a few steps after turning around when he heard a familiar voice.
He suddenly turned his head and saw that on the other side of the battlefield, his wife Kozuki Toki, his son Momonosuke whose lower body had been turned into a machine, and his daughter Kozuki Hiyori who had just learned to speak were being held by a group of female pirates and escorted to Broly's side.
"Lord Broly."
The long-unseen Granny led the group of female pirates in a respectful bow to Broly.
A few days ago, Grandma Za, who stayed in Amazon Lily, received a message from Toritoma, asking them to lead all the people to move from Amazon Lily to the new Kingdom of Women.
Upon arrival, the first order they received was to take control of Kozuki Oden's wife and children.
After all, the Time-Time Fruit of Kozuki Toki has the ability to travel through time and space. If she were to move people away, it would be quite troublesome.
After all, Broly had been looking forward to this kind of fun for a long time, and he didn't want to wait 20 years to see it again.
Seeing his wife and children captured, Kozuki Oden's eyes widened in fury as he shouted, "Damn it! Let them go!!!"
However, just as Kozuki Oden was about to charge, Kaido, Queen, and King immediately joined forces and grabbed him like a chicken.
"Your Majesty Oden!"
Just then, another shout rang out. Everyone turned to look, their eyes widening in surprise.
Many people recognized him at a glance as Izo, one of the current captains of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Seeing this, Kizaru stopped in his tracks, put his hands in his pockets, and said sarcastically, "Oh? Is it the Whitebeard Pirates' turn to make their appearance this time?"
It seems another large pirate crew is about to become history.
Even when Broly was surrounded by several top fighters including Kozuki Oden, Goat Sihan, and Douglas Barrett, Kizaru didn't think Broly would lose.
Even if another Whitebeard Pirates crew came, he would only think that another one was looking for death.
This demonstrates his absolute confidence in his new boss.
loyalty!
Seeing that Izo had actually come over, Broly also showed a rather interested expression, a slight smile playing on his lips: "Oh? Whitebeard is still choosing to get involved in this matter?"
Upon hearing Broly's words, the entire Whitebeard Pirates crew, who had retreated to the outer waters of the new Amazon Lily and were watching the live broadcast via video Den Den Mushi, turned pale.
Damn it, is Broly really going to have his eye on me?
Blackbeard's clothes were completely soaked with cold sweat. He wondered to himself if it was too late to leave the Whitebeard Pirates.
"elder brother!"
At this moment, Kikunojo, who was also controlled by the Beasts Pirates, exclaimed in surprise, his eyes revealing a look of delight.
Although he didn't think that the Whitebeard Pirates could help them reclaim Wano Country if they came to reinforce them, they should at least be able to create an opportunity for Lord Oden and his family to escape.
However, no sooner had Izo finished speaking than a streak of azure flame swept across the sky and landed behind Izo like a shooting star.
It was Marco, the second-in-command of the Whitebeard Pirates and the captain of the First Division.
When Marco saw Broly looking in their direction, he gave an awkward smile, beads of sweat forming on his forehead.
He quickly put his arm around Izou's shoulder from behind, and said with an awkward laugh, "Sorry, sorry, Mr. Broly, he's drunk. We'll take him back right away."
After saying that, Marco, supporting the still struggling Izo, retreated along the route they had come from.
Marco and Izo were on good terms, and if there really was a chance to rescue Kozuki Oden, Marco might have been willing to lend a hand.
However, after witnessing just a fraction of Broly's power, Marco only wanted to leave this hellish place with his father as soon as possible, so that Broly wouldn't get his hands on him.
Damn, 53 billion combat points, that's really no exaggeration.
That wasn't a human, it was a monster!
However, just as Marco was about to take Izan away, Tezzolo and his men blocked their escape route like an impregnable wall.
Tezzolo sneered, "Marco, what do you take Lord Broly's territory for? Someone you can just come and go as you please?"
Marco immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
He wasn't this nervous when he fought alongside his father and Roger's pirate crew back then.
After all, when the Whitebeard Pirates and the Roger Pirates fought, both sides would hold back and not kill each other completely, which could be described as "pirates playing house".
But Marco knew very well that Broly was a real killer, and he would kill without leaving a trace.
Fortunately, Broly said with a smile, "Don't be so serious, Tesoro. Since we're all guests, let's enjoy the rest of the performance together."
"Performance?"
Upon hearing those two words, everyone who was unaware of the situation felt a strong sense of foreboding.
Tesoro, who was in the know, smiled knowingly and bowed slightly to Broly: "Lord Broly, we'll go and make the preparations right away."
Broly then gave Kizaru a wink before heading towards the Flower Capital.
Kizaru, ever the sensible one, picked up the TV Den Den Mushi used for filming and took on Buggy's job from the Marineford War, happily following Broly around and recording the entire scene.
Although Kaido's two top lieutenants, King and Queen, didn't know what Broly meant by "performance," they didn't dare to ask any questions. They obediently supported Kozuki Oden and followed Broly to the Flower Capital.
Before long, the world's light followed the camera to the capital of the new Daughter Kingdom—a bustling flower city.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the City of Flowers is so oppressive that it's hard to breathe.
The streets were lined with Wano Country citizens who had been detained, their heads bowed, not daring to speak.
In the center of the square, Broly, now dressed in brand-new clothes, sat leisurely on his high throne.
He held a glass of juice in his hand, sucking on the straw while looking down at the people below.
Lucky, Gabra, Kaku, and the others, who were hiding in the crowd, couldn't help but whisper among themselves as they watched this scene.
Jabra was trembling all over, his face deathly pale, and he whispered, "Lucci, did your trick really work on him?"
They hadn't participated in the battle; after all, ever since they boarded Broly's ship, they had pretended to be ordinary orphans and knew nothing about fighting.
-
Even so, they had just witnessed Broly's transformation from afar, as well as the scene of him sending Bullet, whose strength was comparable to Kaido and Big Mom, to an alien planet with a single blow.
This left the future CP9 members, whose average age is no more than elementary school students, completely dumbfounded.
At the same time, they also began to have serious doubts about their plans.
Can such a monster really be killed?
Even if you feed him two Devil Fruits at the same time, would that trick really work?
If they fail to poison him and instead he discovers their scheme, their fate will be far worse than death.
Jinxing Ge's condition wasn't much better at the moment either.
Although he is the most stubborn person on the pirate planet, after seeing Broly's performance just now, he can't be that stubborn anymore.
Lu Qi swallowed hard, clenching his fists tightly, his palms sweating.
"We have no way out."
Lu Qi gritted his teeth, a resolute glint in his eyes, and said in a low voice.
Once their undercover identities are exposed, death awaits them.
In that case, all they have left to do is take a gamble and go all in.
Do you think Broly will let them off the hook if they quit now? Obviously not.
And sharing similar thoughts with Jinxing Ge is little sister Im, who lives far away in the flower-filled city of Pangaea in Mary Geoise.
Im, the little sister, wasn't in a good mood to begin with; she was always suspicious and paranoid.
After witnessing the power Broly had just displayed, she was so terrified she wet herself.
Yes, he was genuinely scared to death; his expensive robe was instantly soaked.
This was even more exaggerated than her reaction to Joy Boy's Conqueror's Haki in the original work.
Although he also learned about Lucci and his group's poisoning plan from the Five Elders, to be honest, little sister Im was very skeptical that such a method could kill the monster.
At this moment, another thought inexplicably welled up in Im's mind—would she bow down to Broly and ask if he would let her off the hook?
That's right, little sister Im chickened out.
After all, she wasn't a very brave person to begin with, and if Broly could let her go, kneeling down wouldn't be so bad.
Unfortunately, Broly won't fall for the same trick twice. Kizaru has already used this trick, so it probably won't work on Im.
At that moment, in the City of Flowers, with Broly's command, the atmosphere in the center of the square became even more somber.
Kozuki Oden was bound in mid-air by Tesoro and his men with chains made of the purest Seastone.
-
At the same time, his clothes were ripped off, leaving him only in his underwear, just like when he used to dance naked.
Back then it was for the sake of saving the country, but now it's just a simple insult.
At this moment, Morgans arrived with the Emilia Music Ensemble, led by Gordon.
Gordon held the microphone in his hand, a professional fake smile on his face.
But his eyes were full of confusion, mainly because he had only been assigned to sing and had no idea what Broly was supposed to do next.
In short, everything is ready.
"That devil—what does he want to do to Brother Oden?"
Far away in the windmill village in the East China Sea, Shanks watched the live broadcast, gritted his teeth, and crushed the wine glass in his hand.
Thinking of his best friend Buggy's fate, he didn't think Kozuki Oden's fate could be much better than Buggy's.
Bound up, Kozuki Oden looked around and roared, "Broly! What are you doing? Kill me if you want, don't waste time! I'm not afraid of you!"
Broly sat in his chair, smiling as he looked at him like a lamb to the slaughter: "Hehe, Kozuki Oden, keep causing trouble. I'll be even more pleased when you're begging for mercy on your knees later."
After saying that, Broly glanced at the TV Den Den Mushi that Kizaru was holding and continued, "I had the Navy bring this thing here for this moment. I want the whole world to witness this grand performance and strip away and destroy your dignity bit by bit."
"Don't even think about suicide."
Broly pointed to the trembling Momonosuke beside him and said cheerfully, "Otherwise, your precious son will be going to that world with you soon. I went through a lot of trouble to bring him back to life. You don't want him to die like that, do you?"
Enraged, Kozuki Oden shouted, "You possess such immense power, yet you act so despicably?! Threatening me with my family—what kind of hero are you?!"
"ha?"
Broly burst into exaggerated laughter, his voice filled with disdain: "Did I ever say I was a good person? And you, an idiot who went to sea for your own selfish desires, causing the country to be occupied, do you even have the right to talk about me?"
"Alright, enough with the nonsense."
Broly waved his hand impatiently. "Well then, let's begin the show I've prepared for you."
After saying that, Broly raised his right hand and snapped his fingers: "Music!"
Upon seeing Broly's gesture, the band members behind Gordon began to practice.
The drum kit, bass, and electric guitar all start playing simultaneously, beginning the intro.
Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding, Ding~
A powerful melody began to play.
As the intro began, Gordon, the current world's number one musician, took out his microphone, took a deep breath, and started singing.
The whole world is baffled by Broly's actions.
Why are you singing now?
At first glance, it seems like a very old song, but Gordon's magnetic voice makes it strangely captivating, causing many people to forget the tense situation at hand and sway their bodies involuntarily to the rhythm.
Just then, seven tall figures appeared in the curtain behind Broly.
Broly chuckled, "Oden, do you like this song? It used to be very iconic on my home planet."
He wasn't quite sure of the song's origins, but a strange, chilling feeling suddenly arose in Kozuki Oden's mind, causing goosebumps to rise all over his body and cold sweat to pour down his face.
The next second, the curtain behind Broly was pulled back, revealing the seven figures behind it.
"Hey, Youngman!"
The leader, with his right hand on his hip and his left hand pointing towards Kozuki Oden, struck an extremely flamboyant pose.
"puff!"
Far away in Mary Geoise, Stinkker nearly choked on his own saliva, spitting out his drink all over the floor. Because that person was none other than his father, Gringle!
Not only him, but the other six figures were none other than the Five Elders and Somaz, one of the members of the Knights of God!
No one could have imagined that these seven people, who wield the world's top power, would actually do such a thing.
The seven people, who were posing strangely, also noticed Kizaru's lewd expression and the TV Den Den Mushi he was holding.
Their hearts sank; they felt like dying.
They knew very well that after doing this, they would lose all face in the world.
To use a term from Broly's past life, it would be social death.
But in order to regain their freedom and to survive, this is the only thing they have to do now.
"Wow—Wowhhhh!!!"
As these seven men approached him step by step, Kozuki Oden felt that it was more terrifying and dreadful than facing a billion great pirates.
Broly continued, "Each of them has something special, each has their own unique skills, and their fighting spirit and patience are truly amazing."
The secret weapon will give you an even bigger surprise, hahaha!
Following Broly's words, Gringu and the others took out their respective "weapons".
The younger children, such as Smoker and Tina, were dumbfounded and had no idea what durian was used for.
The adults, on the other hand, vaguely guessed what was going on, but dared not think about it in that direction. Their faces were pale, and they could not bear to look at them.
Faced with the seven in this state, Kozuki Oden stammered, "You—you bastard! You can't—you can't do this—you can't!!!"
Broly, with his legs crossed, chuckled, "Nothing's wrong with that. I even had the Navy send over a TV Den Den Mushi so I could film it and let the whole world enjoy it. Oden, this is the insult I'm going to inflict on you. Just enjoy it, hahaha!"
He felt that if he had to go through something like that, he would rather die immediately than suffer such torment.
Little Sister Im shared the same sentiment.
She thought that seeing Broly transform into a giant ape was enough to understand how terrifying he was, but she didn't expect that his true terror was far from over.
The thought of being treated the same way someday made Im want to kneel down in front of Broly right now and beg for reconciliation.
"Hey, kids shouldn't watch this."
At this moment, Broly noticed that Hancock and Yamato were dumbfounded, waved his hand, and signaled his men to take them back quickly.
Seeing this, Torituma and the others quickly gave a wink to Hancock's two sisters, Sandersonia and Marigold, who had been brought over by Granny Zha.
Two girls, who were younger than Hancock but almost as tall as adult women, quickly pulled them away.
Hancock was starting to feel nauseous, her stomach was churning, but she didn't resist.
Yamato said with a hint of regret, "Huh? Are they leaving already? I wanted to see what they were planning to do—it sounds like it would be quite interesting."
After the girls left.
Even though Grimg himself felt nauseous, he knew very well that if he and his group wanted to regain their freedom, they had to please Broly. Kozuki Oden, in a moment of despair, screamed, "Ah!!! You bastards! Get out! Get out! I'll kill you all!!!"
This is no longer physical destruction; it is utter mental devastation!
Broly laughed so hard on his throne he almost cried. He pointed at Momonosuke, who was cowering in his mother's arms, his lower body completely replaced by a machine: "Hey? Why is that kid's eyes closed? Watch closely! This is your dad's moment of glory! After your dad's done, you're next."
Upon hearing Broly's words, Tesoro immediately stepped forward and pulled Momonosuke out of Kozuki Toki's arms.
