Chapter 310 Powerful Reinforcements Arrive
Elegia—this island already in ruins was now even more precarious.
The monster continued rampaging across the island.
Leaping lightning like torrential rain washed over everything, triggering violent explosions across various parts of the island. The originally dilapidated buildings were now directly blasted into the sky.
Bringing even greater destruction were the monster's continuously furious smashing fists.
The Demon King kept raging. Each time its fist crashed down was like a meteor strike, easily smashing massive cracks into the island. The stirred-up shockwaves made even the surrounding sea surface constantly undulate with waves.
Outside the island, the warship from Fish-Man Island now rose and fell with the waves on the sea surface.
Tesoro's group stood on the warship's deck, gazing from afar at the battle on the island.
"How exaggerated. The entire island's about to be sunk!"
Tesoro looked at Elegia Kingdom's ruins—now completely fragmented with countless ravines, seawater constantly flooding inward—and couldn't help sighing.
The monster-like Demon King was rampaging. But fortunately, its enemy was equally a monster.
A lightning-wrapped figure continuously flashed through the sky. It could always easily avoid all the Demon King's attacks, then swiftly return the favor—with flames, with thunder, with fists, with flying kicks.
Though no matter what kind of attack, none could cause any injury to the Demon King. But at least it truly did restrain this monster's movements, concentrating all its fury on itself without energy to concern itself with other matters.
"Brett will be alright, won't he?"
Queen Otohime said somewhat worriedly.
Even someone like her who wasn't skilled at combat now understood just how terrifying that Demon King was.
That was a guy almost nothing could harm!
"No need to worry about that bastard."
Tesoro said calmly. "The Demon King's only advantage is that Brett can't hurt it. In terms of strength, it's not stronger than Brett. In agility and combat technique, it's even more worlds apart. It can't even touch Brett once."
Only then did Queen Otohime breathe slightly easier. That Demon King truly possessed too strong an oppressive aura—this was genuinely single-handedly nation-destroying power.
"Now what we should worry about more is Uta!"
Tesoro clenched his fists. "How long can her body hold out?"
Devil Fruits really were cheat-like power.
Even a weak girl like Uta could summon such a monster.
But even cheating wasn't without some cost, right?
How long could Uta endure?
"Then what should we do now?"
Queen Otohime also asked somewhat panicked. "Is there a way to deal with this thing?"
"There is one, but it probably won't work right now."
Tesoro said. "To defeat that monster, we must enter the spiritual world Uta created."
"But to do that, we must first awaken Uta."
"Let me try!"
Queen Otohime said solemnly. "Though she's always been independent, our relationship is already quite good now."
"No."
Tesoro shook his head without hesitation. "Too dangerous!"
If Brett could control that Demon King, there wouldn't be a problem.
But the issue was that Demon King possessed power no less than Brett's. Every gesture brought world-destroying might.
Brett hadn't failed to consider having Queen Otohime try awakening Uta, but ultimately abandoned the idea.
This was simply too dangerous.
"No need to worry, Queen Otohime."
Tesoro smiled. "Someone more suitable than you is currently on their way here."
Queen Otohime froze slightly.
Brett continued his fierce battle with the Demon King.
He only relied on speed to dodge, not trying to withstand the Demon King's attacks to test their strength.
Then occasionally using attacks to stimulate this Demon King, keeping it continuously in a frenzied state with no energy to think about other matters.
Fortunately, though this guy possessed intelligence, it was only simple intelligence. Stimulated by Brett, it maintained constant rage, ceaselessly pursuing him.
Dealing with it wasn't too difficult. Even Brett's stamina consumption wasn't severe. With this level of exercise, playing with it for ten days or half a month wouldn't be difficult.
But the problem was—Uta couldn't hold out that long. She'd starve to death.
"Better hurry up and come."
Brett murmured softly.
One day passed just like that.
During this entire day, the sounds of two monsters battling never ceased for even a moment.
The people observing from a distance had initially been very tense. But as time slowly passed, they relaxed.
Though Brett had no way to deal with that Demon King, didn't that guy also completely fail to touch Brett even once?
The especially calm Tesoro even found time to deliver some food to Brett. Though Brett said his stamina was still more than sufficient, being hungry was still unpleasant, right?
The only unlucky one was that nation called Elegia. It had now been completely destroyed. Most of its land had already been shattered and sunk into the sea. What remained floating on the water surface was only coral reef-like wreckage.
"This is too exaggerated!"
Apoo, who'd been watching this battle closely, gazed at the distant battlefield and couldn't help sighing in admiration.
Never mind that monster—Director Brett was the truly astonishing one!
Could humans really possess this degree of power?
"But even Director Brett at this level can do nothing about this monster!"
Apoo sighed. "When will the reinforcements Tesoro-san mentioned—"
Tesoro suddenly turned around.
An aura—an incredible aura was approaching from behind.
On the midair battlefield, Brett's lips also curved slightly upward.
Finally here!
No, should say—they came really fast.
On the sea surface behind them, a ship was currently riding wind and waves, rapidly approaching.
A man with red hair, missing his left arm, now stood at the bow. His expression was grave. His gaze locked firmly on the monster rampaging in the sky above the distant sea.
"This really is bad, Captain."
The fat man Lucky Roux also said in a low voice. "Who could have thought something like this would happen again after five years."
"Leaving Uta on this island may have been the wrong decision."
The red-haired man said seriously. "Regardless, this time let's try to make amends."
"Let's go bring our princess back, boys!"
"YEAH!!"
Morale soared high.
