One piece: Starting as a Mythical Beast

Blood splattered!

Kronos' entire arm pierced through the Guardian's heart — straight through his chest!

"Cough!!"

The guard coughed up a mouthful of dark red, viscous blood.

He died on the spot.

The other guard, horrified by the sudden scene, immediately retreated, keeping his distance from Kronos.

"Shoot!!"

Kronos withdrew his bloody hand, quickly swallowing the black mist swirling around his arm.

The remaining guard stopped at a safe distance, eyes wide with fear.

Kronos' gaze locked onto him.

Immediately, Kronos moved.

"Om!" A soft chirping sound echoed.

A long spear formed, condensed from the black mist in Kronos' palm, suddenly materializing in his hand.

The guard's pupils shrank in terror.

But before he could react, Kronos violently hurled the black mist spear!

"Shh!"

The spear sliced through the air like a streak of lightning.

It struck the guard's abdomen instantly.

"Pfft!!"

But that was just the beginning.

The moment the black mist spear pierced the guard's abdomen, it seemed to awaken — like a seed nourished to grow instantly.

Countless black mist spikes erupted from the spear, shooting out inside the guard's body, bursting irregularly from the inside out, piercing through his entire torso!

"Puff! Puff!!"

Blood sprayed wildly into the air.

The guard now looked like a black hedgehog — his body covered with countless black mist spikes!

Such a horrifying sight.

The Celestial Dragon nearby was so terrified his legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground!

"Pfft!"

His previous arrogant demeanor was gone, replaced by pure, boundless fear of Kronos.

Even those around, pirates used to life and death, were shaken by the sight of the guard pierced and killed so brutally.

Capone Bege — captain of the Fire Tank Pirates and one of the Worst Generation with a bounty over 100 million — was stunned.

The smoke he had been puffing fell silently to the ground.

"This guy really went after the Celestial Dragons… He's crazy!" someone behind Bege muttered.

"Should we stop him?"

"If he keeps this up, we're bound to attract a Marine Admiral!" another warned.

"That'll bring disaster for all of us!"

But Bege immediately cut them off.

"No!"

The crew around him fell silent.

Their captain was always calm and rational — and this time was no different.

If they let Kronos continue, the worst would come for sure.

Marine Admirals would arrive, and even they would be in danger.

Stopping Kronos now was the smartest choice.

Bege's expression grew serious.

"Don't you see?"

"That guy's power isn't on the same level as us."

"Even the three powerhouses couldn't withstand a single move from him!"

"Trying to stop this monster — this killing machine — is lunacy."

"This is crazier than attacking the Celestial Dragons!"

Bege's words snapped the crew back to reality.

Yes — they had been focused only on the danger of attracting Marine Admirals, ignoring the true terror before them.

This wasn't a fight.

It was a massacre.

One-sided slaughter — the enemy didn't even have a chance to defend!

Stop this monster?

They were crazy to even think about it.

The crew broke out in cold sweat.

Capone Bege gave Kronos one last long look.

"Let's get out of here."

"That guy's killing intent won't diminish even after killing three people."

"If we wait any longer, we're done for."

With that, Bege turned and walked away, not forgetting to say coldly:

"That Celestial Dragon won't survive today."

"In the face of such overwhelming killing intent…"

"Even the nobles of the world are reduced to tools for venting his rage — tortured and killed without mercy."

Soon, all the Fire Tank Pirates evacuated the scene.

Kronos strode forward toward the Celestial Dragon, his eyes glowing black like abyssal streams.

He beckoned, and a black knife forged from swirling mist appeared in his hand.

The Celestial Dragon screamed in horror:

"You lowly pariah! How dare you look down on me!"

"I am a noble of the world!"

"Yes! A Celestial Dragon!!!"

Without hesitation, Kronos stared coldly at the Celestial Dragon and slashed down!

"Pfft!!"

Blood sprayed as Kronos severed one of the Celestial Dragon's legs on the spot.

The Celestial Dragon's scream echoed like a pig being slaughtered:

"Ugh!!!!"
