One Piece: King of the World from White Town

The old fox, Kotomine Risho, found Abel again and explained the situation.

"According to my investigation, it has been confirmed that the one who is wreaking havoc in Fuyuki City and slaughtering ordinary people is none other than Caster and his Master who have never appeared."

"I think this extremely despicable practice must be stopped."

"It even seems to me that it was this extraordinary behavior that caused the Holy Grail to summon Your Excellency to come."

Kotomine Risei's words were very righteous and sounded logical.

If Abel didn't know that he was not a [Judge] at all, he would have believed the other party.

After all, what Caster and his Master did was simply anti-human behavior.

This is an act that cannot be tolerated no matter how many times the Holy Grail War is held.

In fact, what Kiritsugu Emiya did before by blowing up an entire floor of the hotel was serious enough, but because it was aimed at Lancer and his master, other ordinary people were just affected, so this marginal approach can be understood to a certain extent.

After all, since the Holy Grail War has the word "war" in its name, it will definitely be cruel.

It is inevitable that some ordinary people will be involved and sacrificed.

But what Caster and his Master did had nothing to do with the Holy Grail War, they were just doing it for their own amusement.

This is also something that Kotomine Risei and Tōsaka Tokiomi who is hiding behind the scenes cannot tolerate.

Because Fuyuki City is their base, how can they allow such guys to do whatever they want?

Abel nodded, as if he had preliminarily approved of the other party's judgment, and said, "This extremely bad behavior really goes against the original intention of holding the Holy Grail War. As the [Arbitrator], I must punish them!"

When Yanfeng Lizheng heard this, he was overjoyed.

"It seems that Your Excellency, the Judge, and I share the same idea. I have decided to call on all Masters to stop fighting in the name of both of us. After we have jointly dealt with Caster and his Master, we will restart the Holy Grail War. What do you think?"

"can."

Abel agreed.

It is in everyone's interest to eliminate Caster first.

Kotomine Risho originally thought that this discussion would not go smoothly, but she did not expect Abel to be so easy to talk to.

But then he thought again, Abel's behavior was exactly what he expected.

As long as they don't catch me violating the rules of the Holy Grail War, I might be able to use them to my advantage.

Just like this time when they were conquering Caster, the other Masters could have just stood by and watched or stayed on the sidelines, doing nothing, but Abel, as the [Judge], certainly couldn't do that.

"So is it better to eliminate Caster as soon as possible and use this opportunity to gather information about other Servants, or is it better to just let the [Judgment] fight Caster?"

Kotomine Rishen was a little unsure.

He was thinking whether he should find an opportunity to discuss it with Tōsaka Tokiomi first, and then he heard Abel say.

"Caster and his Master must be dealt with as soon as possible to get the Holy Grail War back on track. So I propose that anyone who kills Caster or his Master be given some reward as an incentive."

"In the name of the Judge, I will grant you the right to use my Noble Phantasm once."

"At any time and any place during this Holy Grail War, I will unconditionally release a Noble Phantasm for him, and the specific ability of the Noble Phantasm will only be known to him."

Yan Fengli was stunned on the spot!

Because what Abel said was both reasonable and beyond his expectations.

Release a Noble Phantasm for the person who killed Caster or his Master?

What kind of treasure is it?

What kind of effect is it?

Kotomine Rishou really wanted to know, but it was obvious that Abel would never tell him.

Now you don't have to worry about it at all.

He originally wanted to use this incident to gather intelligence, and at the same time give Tōsaka Tokiomi some benefits.

Now the benefits are even greater.

Then the person who killed Caster must be Archer!

Kotomine Li was afraid that Abel would go back on his word, so he quickly said, "In that case, as the supervisor, I cannot let everyone work in vain. How about this, I'll give you two Command Spells as a reward, how about that?"

"That's how it should be."

Of course Abel wouldn't refuse.

Chapter 844: Generous Rewards

After finalizing the rewards, Kotomine Risei immediately began to summon all the Masters who would be participating in the Holy Grail War.

Except for Caster, of course.

After a while, six familiars appeared at the door of the church, waiting quietly.

Apparently even the unseen Berserker Master is here.

And the Master Assassin who was kicked out stopped pretending.

It seems that the news had already been received in advance.

After clearing his throat, Kotomine Risei first glanced at Abel next to him. Seeing that he had no intention of stealing his limelight, he spoke with satisfaction: "I believe everyone has heard about the frequent disappearances and kidnappings in Fuyuki City recently. It has now been confirmed that the perpetrators are Caster and his Master."

"After discussing with [Arbitrator] Abel, I have decided to disqualify him for violating the rules of the Holy Grail War."

"Next, all Masters and Servants must stop fighting. The Holy Grail War will resume only after Caster and his Master are killed."

Having said that, Kotomine Risho looked at Abel again, meaning that it was his turn to appear.

Abel was not polite and continued, "In the process of defeating Caster and his master, I will also participate and fight hand in hand with everyone."

"In addition, as a reward for killing, anyone who kills Caster will be given the right to use my Noble Phantasm once in the name of [Judgment]."

"At any time and any place during this Holy Grail War, I will unconditionally release a Noble Phantasm for him, and the specific ability of the Noble Phantasm will only be known to him."

Every Master who heard about this reward through his familiar was stunned.

Then he showed an expression of great interest.

If we just call on them to work for nothing, there might be few responses.

But this reward is very interesting.

It turned out to be the right to use the Noble Phantasm of the [Arbitrator]? !

It's like opening a blind box.

Without knowing the power and effect of this treasure, no one knows whether trying hard to kill Caster will result in a gain or a loss.

But when I think about how the [Judgment] was able to briefly tie with the 'Hero King' Gilgamesh, I guess the treasure can't be weak.

At this moment, Kotomine Risei smiled again, "Not only that, as the supervisor of this Holy Grail War, I will give out two more Command Spells as rewards."

"I believe every Master understands the value of the Command Seals. Although it may not be as good as the reward from the Judge, it is the only thing I can offer."

After saying this, Kotomine Risei rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, revealing the unused Command Seals patterns left behind by previous participants of the Holy Grail War.

Now, all the masters can no longer sit still!

Two Command Spells are guaranteed rewards, and there is also a Noble Phantasm blind box to open.

7 servants against 1!

What the hell, if you don’t die, Caster, who will die?

Blah blah blah...

The familiars flew away immediately.

They were probably all eager to cause trouble for Caster.

Abel also left with Illya.

After everyone left, Kotomine Risho immediately contacted Tōsaka Tokiomi.

"I didn't expect that I would get something unexpected just by throwing out a bait."

"Father, you did a great job. With the right to use the Judge's Noble Phantasm once, you might be able to bring us a surprise."

"But if someone else gets there first, then we'll be making things easier for them."

"I know, so the one who killed Caster must be Archer!"

"Yes, it must be Archer!"

The laughter of the two people continued to echo in the church.

……

Inside the hotel room.

Kiritsugu Emiya kept writing and drawing on a map of Fuyuki City on the table.

The TV next to them was still broadcasting news about the serial disappearances.

In addition to looking for places where Caster might be hiding, he is also preparing in advance and looking for the place where the Holy Grail will finally descend.

Irisviel then asked, “Kiritsugu, can we assume that all the other Masters also want to kill Caster?”

"You can think so. After all, the reward for killing Caster this time is exceptionally generous, and if we can gather everyone's strength to eliminate a Servant first, it will be a good thing for everyone."

"So even if we leave it alone, Caster is definitely dead. This is good news."

Altria frowned, "Just leave it alone? Shouldn't we take the initiative? The sooner we deal with Caster, the less innocent people will be killed."

Emiya Kiritsugu glanced at her and said nothing.

But silence already showed his attitude.

And this attitude made Artoria clench her fists.

Irisviel quickly interrupted the topic and said, "Let's not talk about Caster for now. The important issue now is the curse on Saber's left hand. It has been 48 hours since you launched the assassination, but Saber's wound has not healed yet, which means Lancer is still alive."

"If the curse problem is not resolved, Saber will never be able to attack with her full strength."

Emiya Kiritsugu didn't seem to care. "My battle plan is that Saber doesn't need to take action when attacking Caster. Maiya will try to kill Lancer's Master from a distance."

"If the plan fails, activate Plan B. After Caster dies, Saber will lure Lancer out, and then I will attack them from the side."

In summary, Saber only needs to play a supporting role or be used as bait.

The ones who actually took action were Kiritsugu and his assistants.

Such a plan is simply a humiliation to Altria, the 'King Arthur' and the 'King of Knights'!

"Master, how despicable and shameless do you want to be?!"

"You are insulting the Heroic Spirit!"

"Why don't you let me take charge of the battle?"

"You think that I, as a Servant, am not trustworthy at all?!"

Altria finally couldn't help but explode.

Emiya Kiritsugu remained silent.

Irisviel had no choice but to smooth things over, "But aren't everyone else except Caster in a truce?"

“That’s why I said that when Caster was alive, it would be Maiya who would do it. She is neither a Master nor a Servant, and is not included in the armistice agreement.”

To put it bluntly, it means continuing to play edge balls.

Then Emiya Kiritsugu continued: "Also, the supervisor this time is hard to trust."

"He pretended to know nothing and protected Assassin's Master."

"It is very likely that Kotomine Risei and Tōsaka Tokiomi are in the same group. Although I am not sure, I can only suspect it for now."

"If Abel, the Judge, hadn't revealed the fact that Assassin was still alive, it's hard to imagine what he would have done."

Irisviel was unable to convince Emiya Kiritsugu and could only worry secretly in her heart.

After all, it is extremely rare for a Master and a Servant to have such a mismatch in compatibility.

Can they really make it to the end of this Holy Grail War?
