Pirate's Freedom

Tata Tot erased the last traces of Yim.

The eternal life brought by [Ageless Surgery] is combined with the ultimate [Life Return].

The concept of death seems to have lost its meaning. Im, who has surpassed [immortality] and is close to reaching [immortality], is much more terrifying than Tata Tot expected.

And Tata Tot, who allowed himself to be swallowed up by immense anger and sorrow, only completely killed Him after crossing that boundary and reaching another level.

This is supposed to be a realm that can only be glimpsed after achieving [Free Ultimate Intention Skill]. In order to fill the abyss-like ravine, life itself is the most insignificant thing.

Strictly speaking, Tata Tot, whose life fluctuations have disappeared, is dead, and what remains here is nothing more than a [wreck] with a deep obsession.

No matter how many definitions and explanations people have for domineering, all that is left of Tata Tot is obsession, and this sole basis for his existence is constantly being worn away.

The vivid images in the memory continue to fade, and those touching moments are thrown into the fire of life like fuel, and there will no longer be any waves.

The black and red lightning wrapped around the bones dimmed slightly, and Tata Tot turned around and disappeared.

I feel a little more relaxed, why?Why were you so angry, so sad, and so painful just now?

……

Food is the most important thing, so Kuzan, who stayed at the station, received an unpleasant message.

"All surveillance ships at sea have disappeared?"

After repeating it, Kuzan took off his blindfold and sat up from the recliner.

"No news came back?"

"Lieutenant General Kuzan, at the same time."

The messenger's tone was full of nervousness, and he continued after swallowing.

"All signals are gone."

"Were you attacked...?"

Kuzan said to himself that this is the most likely answer, coming from the provocation of a certain big pirate, but what is this intuitive feeling of uneasiness?

"Report, report!! Lieutenant General Kuzan!!"

The face of the messenger who came back was full of shock.

"The people sent to investigate have sent back the news...!!"

"Ah la la la..."

Looking at the photo in his hand, Kuzan blinked.

"This is really annoying-"

On the calm outer sea, amid the steaming mist, dotted islands shone with red light, extending to the end of the sea and sky.

"Unbelievable..."

……

The flower capital in the early morning is about to start a busy day.

The tea shop owner who opened the door was so nervous that he didn't dare to hold his breath until the figure disappeared from sight step by step.

"Desolate, desolate, desolate skeleton...!!!"

A piercing scream echoed in the air.

The badly damaged skeletons walked through the long street, and the sound of bones colliding with each other was heard from far to near, and from near to far. The streets were crowded with people.

"Arid Skeleton? A legendary ghost from [Wano Country]?"

Led by Marco, the Whitebeard crew was eager to try.

"This is the first time we've met, would you like to follow me and have a look!"

A large naginata raised horizontally stopped the crew behind them.

"Dad?"

"Don't get close easily——"

Whitebeard spoke seriously

"It feels dangerous to me."

It was clear that there were cracks all over the body, and it was becoming increasingly difficult to move, but the powerful people with deep potential felt the warning from the instinct of life.

The sharp [Eagle Eyes] stared at the terrifying figure walking slowly in front of him.

"Hey! Mihawk!"

Shanks beside him was already sweating.

"This thing is too bad!"

"Now I can't stop cutting."

Watching the skeleton passing by, Mihawk lowered his gaze and let go of [Ye]'s wide sword hilt. The [Eagle Eyes] that could see through the essence of things had already told him the answer.

"No matter what, it won't stop."

"It's really not good."

Feeling the chill rising from the bottom of his heart, Kozuki Oden's expression on the side became rarely serious.

"The wild skeleton that was killed by [Sword God] Ryoma - I didn't expect it to be such a terrifying thing. It is much more difficult to deal with than the flying dragon."

"Ah! In this direction, are you going back after a round of shopping?"

……

After the Bell, North Cemetery.

When encountering mountains and rivers, the beasts with keen intuition fled away from their sight. The skeletons who arrived here stopped in an open space.

The wind blew through the empty chest, raising a cloud of sparks.

Erin...Ira...Robin...

Where am I going...?

Losing the meaning of progress, no matter who it is, they can only linger, just before Tata Tot becomes a desolate skeleton in the true sense.

"No, not yet."

A familiar voice sounded softly in the silent heart.

Step, step, step, step——

A sound of footsteps came from far away.

A slight shock was transmitted to his cracked bones.

Tiny pieces kept falling off.

Tread, tread, tread, tread.

The footsteps stopped in front of him.

There were blood stains everywhere on the tattered white suit, and the entire left arm was broken at the elbow. A reddish-brown tin dog with an angular body followed him step by step.

"Are you late..."

Looking at the unconscious and empty eye sockets of the [wreck] in front of him, [Not Looking] paused in breathing, and then stabilized his mind again.

"No, it's not too late."

[Don't look] Take off the mask, revealing a face covered with lead-white marks.

"I was born in Frevans, a place that no one can save and cursed by the gods. It is also the epitome of this sad era."

"Lord Rao, your fate should not end here. I sincerely hope that you can bring greater waves to this chaotic world."

……

Around the world, when Tata Tot bombarded Im, all phone bugs stopped working for a brief period of time.

In a trading company in the Shampoo Islands.

"Hey, hey! What's going on?"

The staff member frowned as he hung up the walkie-talkie on the phone bug's back.

"Why can't the phone call be connected suddenly?"

"It should be a problem with the magnetic field."

The colleague on the side said very insightfully.

"You can try it later."

"Porlu Porlu~! Porlu Porlu~!"

The phone bug rang again.

"Ah! I'm calling! It looks good again!"

"But-" he said uncertainly.

"The phone bug sounds a little different?"

……

Outside the gate leading to the [Void Throne], the five old stars waiting to be summoned were talking to each other.

"Have you finished the calculation? Activate [Uranus]——"

The old man with white curly hair and a flat hat asked the bald old man behind him.

"How much will it cost to sink [Wano Country] to the bottom of the sea?"

"...It would consume about three percent of all reserves."

The bald old man wearing white robes and glasses was silent for a moment before answering.

"Less than one tenth of the people who can pass the [Uranos] certification."

The bald old man with two mustaches frowned.

"After 800 years, bloodline purification has become imperative."

"This matter cannot be solved overnight."

The old man with short blond hair didn't really want to talk about it.

"Concentrate on the matter in front of you first."

"First Rocks, then Roger, and now Tata Tot..."

The old man with long straight white hair and a long beard sighed.

"The world is destined not to remain balanced forever, and it's time for [cleaning]."

……

[Between the Flowers] in the deepest part of Pangu City.

Flowers and grass are luxuriant, butterflies are flying, and tree branches are climbing on the window walls.

A nun bends towards the central figure shrouded in light.

"Master Im, everyone has arrived."

The butterflies on His fingertips were frightened by the sound, flapped their wings and flew up.

"..."

The wide hem dragged on the ground, and the figure completely shrouded in black robe turned and walked towards the door.

Boom...!

With the gate closed.

The singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers just now disappeared, and in the cold and dead environment, huge black stones occupied the central space.

The huge square stones almost reach the dome, and on the dark surface covered with ancient writings, a trace of light is fleeting.
