The Witcher: The Journey to Transcendence from Marvel...

Chapter 348 Total Annihilation

"hateful!"

Kid's eyes were bloodshot, filled with resentment and anger. He used his last bit of strength to activate his Devil Fruit power.

A powerful magnetic force erupted from his body, enveloping the entire dueling arena and the surrounding area.

Everything containing iron in the vicinity, from children's small iron toys to various tableware being used in the kitchen, and even the roof of a house in the distance, was attracted by this powerful magnetic force and flew towards Kidd's direction.

These iron objects collided and merged in the air, quickly forming a giant iron fist larger than the arena. The iron fist looked incredibly heavy and full of destructive power.

"Go to hell!"

Kidd knew he was probably doomed today, but he was unwilling to die so easily. He wanted to take someone down with him before he died, thinking that even if he could cause Cyrus some harm, it would be good.

However, he had seriously underestimated the strength of a great swordsman. Cyrus looked at the giant iron fist that was hurtling towards him, but his expression remained calm and composed. He simply swung his sword lightly, and the iron fist was instantly split in two.

With a loud "boom," it crashed into the water, splashing up huge waves and sending water spraying everywhere.

"It's been too long," Cyrus muttered to himself, then suddenly moved, leaving a trail of afterimages, and arrived in front of Kidd in the blink of an eye.

Before Kidd could react, Cyrus ruthlessly swung his sword, beheading Kidd in one swift and decisive motion.

Kidd's head fell into the water, immediately causing a frenzy among the already excited fighting fish. They swarmed around him frantically, their blood-red mouths wide open, tearing at each other and fighting over Kidd's head in a bloody and chaotic scene.

"Kid!!"

Upon seeing this, Kira's eyes widened in fury, almost bursting from their sockets. His rage instantly overwhelmed his reason, making him completely disregard the vast difference in strength between himself and Cyrus. He roared, "I'll kill you!!"

He then charged toward Cyrus without regard for anything else.

Kyros never showed mercy to pirates. Faced with Kira's almost insane attack, he simply raised his sword without changing his expression and easily dealt with it.

With a single slash, the sharp sword energy struck Kira directly, sending him flying like a rag doll, crashing heavily into the wall of the stands with a dull thud.

The wall was smashed open, leaving a large crater. Kira's body slid down the wall, blood gushing from his wounds and flowing into the water.

The pungent smell of blood instantly attracted several fighting fish, which leaped high out of the water and pounced on Kira, their sharp teeth tearing at Kira's body and quickly dismembering him.

"roar!!"

A deafening cheer erupted from the audience. They were completely aroused by the bloody and violent scene, and everyone showed their bloodthirsty and violent side, shouting loudly.

"marvelous!"

"Truly worthy of being called Lord Cyrus!"

"The strongest gladiator."

Cheers and shouts of approval rose and fell, echoing throughout the arena.

Cyrus bowed slightly to the audience, then turned and left the ring.

Staff rushed forward to clean up the scene and repair the damaged ring.

They swiftly dragged the pirates' corpses one by one and threw them directly into the pool. Upon seeing this, the fighting fish swarmed forward again, vying for these new "foods." Before long, the entire pool was stained blood red and emitted a pungent, bloody smell.

The Straw Hat crew looked at the bloody and cruel scene before them, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.

Kid and his crew were once a renowned pirate group, even being named one of the "Worst Generations" by the World Economic Herald.

But now, they were easily dealt with by Wes's men, and died without a complete corpse, wiped out here.

Wes slowly opened his right hand and took away the essence of the Magnet-Magnet Fruit.

After this twist and turn, the duel in the arena resumed. The audience, as if nothing had happened, resumed watching the match with full concentration, and shouts and cheers rang out once again.

"That's really cruel."

Nami couldn't help but mutter to herself. She really couldn't stand such a bloody and violent scene and felt very disgusted by what Wes and the others had done.

Unexpectedly, her muttering attracted Wes's attention. Wes looked over at Nami with a deep and unfathomable gaze.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

Nami felt Wes's gaze, her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously took a step back, a nervous look on her face.

Seeing this, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji quickly stepped forward to protect Nami behind them. The three of them stared at Wes warily, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

"The Straw Hat Pirates," Wes looked at them, the curiosity he felt when he first met the protagonist long gone. In his eyes, the Straw Hat crew was no different from any other pirates. He said calmly, "After two years of silence, you're heading to the New World. Your goal is to become the Pirate King?"

"Of course!" Luffy stared directly into Wes's eyes without fear. His gaze was unwavering. Although he could vaguely sense that the person in front of him was extremely strong and might be the strongest enemy on his path to realizing his dream, he would not easily back down just because the other party was powerful.

The dream of becoming the Pirate King was deeply rooted in his heart and could not be shaken.

"Give up," Wes said slowly, picking up his coffee, taking a sip, "I'm also somewhat interested in ONE PIECE."

In fact, Wes has been collecting historical road signs all this time, and he already has two. Meanwhile, Law went to Zou and obtained the third one, and is on his way back.

No one else had any chance in this competition, including the Straw Hat crew.

"No." Luffy refused resolutely, without a trace of fear in his eyes. He clenched his fists tightly, his stubborn and persistent appearance showing his determination not to give up no matter what.

"Is that so?" Wes tapped the armrest of his chair lightly, frowned slightly, and his tone became more serious: "So you're saying we're enemies?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the Straw Hat crew felt as if an incredibly heavy mountain was pressing down on them, and the invisible pressure made it almost impossible for them to breathe.

Luffy hurriedly used Conqueror's Haki to resist, but the aura emanating from Wes was simply too powerful. Despite Luffy's best efforts, he was still suppressed and forced to retreat step by step.
