#199 - Chapter 199: Yamato Emerges from the Ground
The shockwaves from the explosion made the entire Wano Country tremble.
The earth seemed to roar in anger, and the mountains and rivers lost their tranquility in an instant.
In Wano Country, most people didn't know what had happened, only thinking it was an earthquake.
They ran out of their houses in panic, asking each other what had happened.
As for those who were closer to the explosion, they saw the earth-shattering scene.
Flames soared into the sky, and smoke filled the air, as if everything between heaven and earth had disappeared at that moment.
"What exploded?"
"The entire mountain was blown away!"
"Not just the mountain, I just heard someone say that the area where the explosion occurred has been turned into flat ground..."
The crowd discussed, their faces filled with shock and fear.
Because that area was mountainous and almost uninhabited, they were not worried about casualties.
However, the violent explosion made them feel a trace of unease, as if foreshadowing some kind of disaster.
At this moment, Kaido led a group of his subordinates out of Onigashima and rushed to the explosion area.
His face was gloomy, and his steps seemed a little hurried, but every step carried an irresistible power.
He had already received a report from his subordinates and was now rushing over to confirm King's situation.
'I hope he's okay.' He muttered silently, his brow furrowed, feeling a faint unease in his heart.
If he sacrificed his brother for a research project, it would be a huge loss.
Flower Capital.
Kuzan and the others, who were fighting the Wano Country army, also took time to look at the explosion site.
"Jin'an might be in that place!"
Toki said, her voice with a hint of urgency and worry.
The explosion site was located in Kibi, which was also the focus of their investigation this time.
Shiliew swung his sword, and the person in front didn't even have time to scream before instantly losing their life.
The blade was cold, with a chilling murderous intent, like the scythe of the Grim Reaper.
Looking around, the road ahead was already covered with dense corpses, blood stained the earth red, and a bloody aura filled the air.
These corpses were all the work of the few of them, and they had become bloodthirsty in the face of war.
"Now that we have a goal, there's no need to entangle with these people." Kuzan's voice was low as he continuously dealt with Oden's attacks.
They had lost patience with these endless enemies.
Toki pointed to the sky, her voice with a hint of shock,
"Look, it's Kaido!"
Her fingers trembled, and a trace of fear and surprise flashed in her eyes.
In the distant sky, a huge figure was flying rapidly, with unparalleled pressure, as if the entire world paled in comparison at this moment.
Kaido's appearance undoubtedly shocked everyone.
Looking at the direction Kaido was flying, it was the place where the explosion occurred.
......
The dust dissipated.
A dusty little hand stretched out from the soil.
The palm groped on the ground, the fingertips touched hard rocks and loose soil, and then Yamato's entire body climbed out of the soil.
She gasped for breath, sweat oozing from her forehead, her face covered in dirt, looking disheveled.
Despite this, she had no obvious injuries, just looking particularly tired.
Yamato stood firm and looked around, the scene before her made her eyes widen in surprise, setting off a huge wave in her heart.
"Where have I come to?"
The originally verdant forest and towering peaks were now completely gone.
Replaced by yellow earth and scorched ruins buried in the soil.
Yamato's heart beat violently, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. She tried to calm herself, but the shocking scene made it difficult for her to calm down for a while.
Suddenly, she suddenly came back to her senses from the shock, looking around, her eyes showing anxiety and fear.
"Where's Jin'an?!"
Her voice trembled, and she frantically rummaged through the soil, gravel cutting her skin, and blood staining the soil.
But she still didn't stop.
However, even if she dug three feet into the ground, she couldn't find Jin'an's figure.
Yamato's heart was cut like a knife, she choked up, and tears blurred her vision.
She seemed to still feel the other person's warmth on her body, but reality ruthlessly told her that Jin'an was gone.
"Shurorororororo..."
A hateful laughter rang in Yamato's ears, the voice with a hint of coldness and mockery.
Caesar floated in mid-air like a ghost, his face with a strange smile, his eyes flashing with sinister light.
"Don't waste your energy, he's already turned to ashes."
Caesar's voice was cold and piercing, like a poisonous snake wrapped around Yamato's heart.
"Of course, he became like this all because he was protecting you..."
Caesar's words were like a sharp sword piercing Yamato's heart, tearing apart her fragile defense.
Yamato knew that the other party wanted to use psychological tactics to defeat her, but she was really sad now.
Tears gushed out like a flood, dripping on the soil, stirring up tiny dust.
Her body trembled slightly, her heart filled with helplessness and grief.
"In this world, the weak have no right to cry."
Caesar continued to sneer, his laughter echoing in the air, appearing particularly harsh.
"Shurorororororo..."
Suddenly,
'Bang!'
After a loud noise,
A figure rose from the depths of the ground, with unparalleled power and anger.
Caesar's laughter stopped abruptly, and the smugness on his face instantly turned into horror.
His pupils contracted sharply, and he shouted in a trembling voice:
"King!"
That figure was King, his whole body burning with raging flames, his eyes revealing endless anger and hatred.
The air was filled with a scorching aura, as if even the earth was trembling in his anger.
"Jin'an, get out here!"
King's voice echoed in this area, like a thunderclap, making the silent air buzz.
Yamato was stunned, her heart seemed to be hit suddenly.
Immediately afterwards, a touch of ecstasy quickly spread across her face, her eyes became bright, full of hope.
However, she clearly couldn't even perceive a trace of Jin'an's aura, and she was still wondering if it was her hallucination.
But King's words were so clear and beyond doubt.
"Don't shout, I can hear you..."
Jin'an's weak voice came, as if floating from a distant dream.
Yamato's heart skipped a beat, tears almost bursting out of her eyes.
In the sky, a figure gradually appeared.
Although a little weak, Jin'an still stood upright, facing King directly.
His clothes were tattered, and a shocking burn was exposed on his back, the scars crisscrossing, appearing unusually conspicuous.
Yamato felt so distressed when she saw this scene, and tears blurred her vision again.
Jin'an looked up at King, a trace of helpless smile on his face,
"I'm the victim, okay? Don't act like a resentful woman in her boudoir."
His voice was weak, but still with his usual frivolousness.
King's eyes were as cold as iron, his voice as piercing as the cold wind,
"Those who betray Kaido deserve to die."
A ball of flame quickly gathered in his hand, the flame dancing in his palm, as if burning the surrounding air with life. The firelight shone on his face, making him look particularly hideous.
"Flame Emperor!"
King roared in a low voice, the flame quickly expanding, turning into a giant fireball, rushing towards Jin'an with a world-destroying aura.
The sky was reflected in red, as if the entire world was burning at this moment.
Yamato's heart tightened, her eyes filled with worry and fear.
Jin'an's eyes flashed with a trace of firmness, he took a deep breath, endured the pain in his body, and quickly gathered his strength.
"King, you shouldn't be so obsessed with the past."
Jin'an said in a low voice, his voice particularly clear in the roar of the flames.
Then, he suddenly waved his arm, and a strong stream of air gushed out from his hand, colliding violently with King's fire dragon.
"Boom!!"
The two forces intertwined and collided in the air, making a deafening roar.
Yamato's heart hung in the air, her eyes filled with worry.
She clenched her fists tightly and prayed silently for Jin'an.
