They were never as good as each other before, so how could they possibly win now?

"But this time, no matter what, I can't afford to lose again."

Kazan must never again watch his family and companions die, and he must never again allow the people of Perus to hide like rats in every corner of the world.

There is only one way to defeat Ozma.

"Don't worry, Nissan will create a place where you can live in peace."

Kazan turned his head, looking longingly at his underlings, then chuckled softly, removed the limiter from Ghost's hand, and tossed it to the ground. "I'm the strongest in the world!!!"

"Hoohoho!!!"

A roar that resounded throughout the world erupted, and a blood-red demon covered in dark red blood descended upon the battlefield, turning the entire world crimson in an instant.

"Kazan!"

"Nissan!"

"Big brother!"

……

The voices of family and companions echoed continuously, but unfortunately, Kazan could no longer hear them at all.

Kazan, transformed into a blood demon, charged towards Ozma without hesitation.

Ozma hadn't expected Kazan to break free of the illusion so quickly, nor had he anticipated that Kazan would so decisively remove his limiter and fight him head-on.

"Removing the limiter without awakening the Emperor's Bloodline to slay the heavens is undoubtedly a path to death. Kazan... do you really value those people that much?"

Ozma felt a little lonely looking at his former friend in this state.

He originally planned to use the massive amount of blood energy on the battlefield to force Kazan to awaken as the Emperor Blood Slayer, thus giving him the power to help him achieve his goal. However, he did not expect that Kazan would directly remove the limiter.

But now that things have come to this, there's no turning back.

As Ozma watched Kazan, who had transformed into a giant bloodhound and was circling overhead, he quickly burned his bloodline, transforming himself into a purple dragon the same size as the bloodhound, and charged towards Kazan.

The purple dragon collided with the blood-red giant dog, and a huge, pitch-black rift instantly appeared in mid-air, sucking both figures into it.

Ozma then smiled.

"Nisan! Don't leave me."

Monet, in the form of Snowflakes, watched the blood-red figure gradually disappear and rushed headlong into the black crack beside him.

In the endless darkness, Monet finally embraced the blood-red giant dog, refusing to let go even as he lost consciousness.

"Kazan, Monet..."

On the battlefield below, seeing Kazan and Monet disappear, the members of the Monster Family were instantly stunned into a blank.

Even when they came to their senses and tried to rush towards the black rift, it was too late. The black rift closed instantly after only two or three seconds.

Just before the black rift closed, a spatial portal opened, and Sugar rushed out of it, trying to leap into the rift.

However, it was too late. The black crack closed, and she watched helplessly as her older brother and sister disappeared before her eyes, missing their chance to escape. She then began to fall downwards.

"Onii-chan... Onii-chan..."

Chapter 603 Big Brother, I Want to Become the Strongest in the World in Arad (Grand Finale)

The year 1519 of the Haiyuan Calendar was the most special year in the past eight hundred years, and it is known as the end of the Haiyuan Calendar.

In this year, the entire world underwent tremendous changes, and the world government, which had dominated the world for eight hundred years, was destroyed by a coalition of countless top powers.

The most powerful and representative of them all is naturally the monster family that conquered the entire ocean.

Therefore, this year is also known as the beginning of the Monster Calendar.

In this new era.

Having lost control of the World Government, the Navy began to operate autonomously, continuing to crack down on illegal activities on the seas. However, due to the lack of funding, the Navy had to start engaging in commercial operations.

The revolutionary army, having achieved its goal, did not disband but instead went into the shadows to deal with injustices occurring around the world.

Pirate crews have decreased significantly, and the more popular name in the world now is 'adventure group', while those who defeat the 'Four Emperors' and the 'King of Monsters' can be crowned with the title of 'Adventure King'.

Originally, it was the year 1520 in the Sea Calendar, but now it is the year 0 in the Monster Calendar.

A boy named Monkey D. Luffy sets off from Windmill Village with the goal of conquering the Grand Line and becoming the King of Adventure.

Similarly, in that year, the monster family that had just destroyed the World Government suddenly disappeared, and few people could find any prominent figures from those monster families in public.

The vast majority of people don't know what they are doing.

Only those who participated in that battle could have guessed it.

After all, most of the people who know that the 'King of Monsters' has disappeared from this world are members of the monster family. Even if others know about it, they will be unwilling to make it public for various reasons.

However, it is known that the four sea kings of the New World seem to be doing the same thing.

It seems to be searching for something.

Laugh Tale, the end of the Grand Line.

A brand new city is now being built here, a country called 'Perus'.

This is a new nation that was supported by countless countries, including Elbaf, Wano Country, Fishman Island, Zou, Alabasta, Amazon Lily, Dressrosa, etc., as soon as it was built.

The king here is the legendary monster king's younger sister, a mermaid queen named 'Red Moon'.

When Chiyue was rescued from the flower garden by the monster family, she was still in a daze. It took them a lot of effort to explain everything to her.

Having learned everything, Red Moon, just as she had done eight hundred years ago, took over the Monster Family's work on Laugh Tale after Kazan left, and began to fulfill Kazan's original promise.

Fishman Island began to be dragged towards the surface by Noah's Ark and the Sea Kings, allowing alien races from all over the world to return to Perus.

Meanwhile, the members of the monster family are also trying to find things to do to keep their lives busy.

Bon Clay and Crocodile travel all over the world, keeping an eye on the safety of their family members and maintaining connections among them.

Bellamy and his girlfriend Kim Rami are in charge of security in Perus, while also waiting for Kazan and Monet to return. They don't plan to get married until the two return.

Gild continued to manage the Monster Family's underground businesses, responsible for generating profits for the Monster Family, while also building Perus's reputation to attract more people.

Gecko Moria, along with his Seven Musketeers and zombie army, joined forces with Hancock and the Kuja Pirates to protect the various countries under the protection of the Monster Family, safeguarding the honor of the Monster Family.

Arlong and Shirahoshi, along with countless people from Fishman Island, wandered the seabed searching for clues that had fallen to the bottom of the ocean during the war eight hundred years ago.

Akin, Willump, Ramos, Dubaru, Motorballo, and Carroso traveled back to the East Sea together, intending to retrace their steps.

Since Kazan and Monet disappeared, Perona has become somewhat manic, spending her days manipulating various ghosts to search for their whereabouts around the world. Reiju has always stayed by her side, monitoring Perona's mental health.

Sugar witnessed Kazan and Monet disappear before her eyes, which caused a drastic change in her personality. She became silent and withdrawn, wandering aimlessly, while Koala and Pudding stayed by her side.

The ruins of Mary Geoise, formerly known as the Place Between Flowers.

Robin came to this place alone once again.

During this time, Robin used the power of her family to find most of the world's historical records and restored the history that was missing for a hundred years.

However, no information related to the black crack was found.

For a moment, Robin was at a loss for what to do when she suddenly remembered the Flower Garden where Ozma had been staying for the past eight hundred years.

After that battle, everyone rushed off after freeing the Crimson Moon because of the disappearance of Kazan and Monet, completely overlooking this crucial place.

Robin, who had returned to the area, thoroughly searched the now-ruined Flower Garden.

Finally, she stopped in front of a tomb.

"It's from a very long time ago."

Robin reached out and gently wiped the dust-covered tombstone until all the inscriptions on it became clear.

The Tomb of Kazan, My Friend

"...Eight hundred years ago, huh?"

Robin already had a guess upon seeing these six words, after all, in the battle eight hundred years ago, Kazan should indeed have died in Ozma's eyes.

It was only later, when Kazan appeared on the sea, that Ozma heard about him and realized that Kazan had returned to the future.

Since we destroyed and rebuilt the Perus Empire thousands of years ago, I seem to have lost my goals and ambitions, and embarked on a long path to godhood.

In fact, I also realized that in this process, my former self seemed to be gradually fading away, and the new Ozma had become a god who had lost his human consciousness.

I can no longer tell whether I am right or you are right.

But it might be too late to say all this.

Goodbye.

Based on this passage, Robin can deduce that it was engraved on Ozma's tombstone eight hundred years ago, while the following passage was newly written more than ten years ago.

You're not dead yet.

This is the best news I've heard in eight hundred years.

Through eight hundred years of learning and reflection, I have come to realize this.

How could a human body possibly control the soul of a god?

And you, my friend, how could a human soul possibly be worthy of a divine body?

I have foreseen the future. One day in the distant future, I will eventually collapse due to the ever-accumulating chaotic energy within me. At that time, the chaotic energy within me will completely erupt and destroy this world.

You will become a mindless monster, letting your invincible body wreak havoc in this world, constantly destroying everything until you destroy the entire world.

So, I'm wondering... should we continue to exist?

Perhaps we should follow the old ways instead of looking forward to a brand new tomorrow.

Only in this way will Perus have a future.

In this world, only I can destroy you, and only you can destroy me.

or……

We could also tear space apart and travel through the spatial rifts to other worlds in search of a chance of survival, although that chance is very slim.

However, you can give it a try; it's not too late if you fail.

Based on the fluctuations generated during our battle eight hundred years ago, if you had been able to unleash an attack of the same level as me back then, we might have been able to tear open a spatial rift and travel to other worlds.
