Stussy could hardly restrain her killing intent and unleashed her full strength without reservation, striking Takashi Komuro's abdomen directly.
Boom!
Takashi Komuro was blasted away like a cannonball, crashing into the distance and collapsing a building's wall.
Ordinary people in this world are physically weak. In front of Stussy, they are like ants. With Stussy's unreserved explosive power, Takashi Komuro was killed in a single blow. His entire body's bones were shattered.
Such a scene made everyone around them tremble with fear, and they became even more aware of Kaos' status. None of them had the slightest ability to provoke him. Rei Miyamoto and Saya Takagi both gritted their teeth, holding back any sound.
Takashi Komuro had a good relationship with them, especially Rei Miyamoto, who had been childhood friends with him. Although there was nothing romantic between them, the bond was undeniably deep. Seeing Takashi Komuro die before her eyes, Rei Miyamoto wanted to shout in anger, wondering why the attack had been so vicious.
But remembering that Takashi Komuro had been the one to attack first, Rei Miyamoto found herself at a loss for words. All of this seemed to be his own doing, and no one could defend his actions.
Of course, none of them knew that it had all happened because of Kaos' mental suggestion.
Now, with the death of Takashi Komuro, a smile appeared in Kaos' eyes. Komuro was indeed an original person, and with his death, Kaos obtained more of the "source."
A voice echoed in his mind:
[Obtaining the source reaches 50%.]
[You receive the following rewards.]
[1: Some areas of the world are integrated (optional).]
[2: Remove weakness.]
Hiss!
Kaos' eyes lit up as he read the reward, and he became excited.
Compared to before, this reward was extremely generous because it related to Devil Fruits. In simple terms, this reward allowed Kaos to eat a Devil Fruit without suffering any of the usual weaknesses, and he could even eat two!
When that time came, Kaos would be just like Blackbeard. But the difference was that Kaos would not be vulnerable to seawater.
Previously, Kaos had been reluctant to eat any Devil Fruit, even though he knew the location of some powerful ones in this world. For example, there were Mythical Zoan Fruits in Ancient Sleeping Town and Logia Fruits on Sky Island. But now, with this reward, Kaos suddenly became very interested in Devil Fruits.
"When we return, we can visit the World Government's treasure trove," Kaos murmured, rubbing his chin.
Devil Fruits are something rare and coveted by others, but for Kaos, obtaining one was as simple as lifting a finger. No matter what kind of Devil Fruit he desired, Kaos could acquire it immediately. Even if it wasn't in the World Government's treasure trove, he was sure it would be found among the Celestial Dragons' homes.
With this thought, Kaos began to look forward to it. He wondered if he could find a Devil Fruit that suited him.
Shaking his head, Kaos stopped thinking about it and prepared to head back.
Stussy asked, "Your Highness, what about these people?"
Kaos glanced around, thought for a moment, and then gave his orders, "Take them back and leave them with Sengoku to handle."
These people would likely become his followers in the future, and saving them now would be worthwhile, as they might one day contribute to his cause. Not to mention, among them were a few "original people" whom Kaos could not afford to ignore.
With the source already reaching fifty percent, thirty percent had been contributed by Takashi Komuro and twenty percent by Saeko Busujima. This confirmed to Kaos that, whether through subduing or killing, he could still collect the source.
This realization made it much easier for him to deal with other original people.
Hearing Kaos' orders, Stussy nodded, while others were visibly worried.
Saya Takagi mustered her courage and asked, "Excuse me, but where are you taking us?"
Kizaru, as Marine, gave a somewhat kind smile and replied, "Little girl, there's no need to worry. As long as you don't offend His Highness, you'll be safe. In fact, we're taking you to our base nearby, which is very secure."
"Understand?"
Although Kizaru's smile was eerie, his words were reassuring, and the students instinctively believed him. After all, Kizaru's power was overwhelming, and they couldn't imagine someone so strong lying to them.
Moreover, with no other place to go, they subconsciously followed Kaos and his group toward the base.
World Government Headquarters.
In a luxurious room, the Five Elders were in a meeting.
The elder with the sword casually tossed a document on the table and spoke calmly, "The God-making plan is nearly complete. The 748 orphanages and 341 churches we've established worldwide are ready."
"With a single order, the children in these orphanages can be brainwashed into devout followers of Kaos. The idols in the churches will be smashed and replaced with images of Kaos."
"So, should we begin?"
The other elders picked up the document and examined it.
After a while, the elder with the pointed beard spoke gravely, "We should wait a little longer before activating the plan."
"Yes, the God-making plan should coincide with the emancipation of slaves to maximize the impact," another elder added. "When we emphasize Kaos' greatness during the liberation of slaves, we can manipulate the masses into becoming followers. Tens of thousands will easily become hundreds of thousands, even millions!"
The elder with the sword nodded in agreement, then asked, "How is the preparation for the slaves going?"
The blonde elder thought for a moment before answering, "The slaves in Mariejois, including those under the Celestial Dragons, are being organized. We've also sent CP agents to contact slave traders globally, purchasing and capturing more slaves."
"At this rate, the total number of slaves should exceed hundreds of thousands."
"Yes, that number is sufficient."
The elders nodded in unison.
As the Five Elders, their plans were always on a grand scale. Even though they would soon liberate the slaves, they had no qualms about capturing more beforehand. After all, they could easily place the blame on the slave traders, while Kaos would be revered as a savior.
Particularly, the merman slaves had recently become a top priority for the Five Elders. By liberating the merman slaves, they could also earn the favor of Fish-Man Island, furthering their global strategy.
