Chapter 264
What the Drowning Master had overlaid was the deepest place in the world.
And from within that abyss, Barbarossa the Drowning King spoke.
“Behold, King of Conquerors.”
Bubbles flowed from his mouth with every word, yet his voice remained clear and distinct.
And Dale, too, was no longer the greenhorn he had been when they first met. Primordial darkness enveloped him, and his world was shrouded in water where the pressure could crush flesh and bone, where even breathing was impossible.
“Here, at the very bottom of this world, they will finally awaken from their slumber.”
The Drowning Master spoke. At the same moment, Dale could feel it too. In the darkness where not a single ray of light penetrated, those beings were faintly stirring.
How could he forget?
The monsters that had once destroyed this planet’s ancient world.
They have not yet awakened. But when they rise from slumber once more, this world will meet the same end.
“From the very beginning, they were the rulers of this star. And they are merely reclaiming what is rightfully theirs.”
“……”
“You are the vermin of this planet. Merciless invaders who trample the earth and wreak destruction according to your own will. Every time you build your foundations upon this land, the planet groans. And yet, you are madmen who kill one another, staining the earth with your blood. That is who you are.”
“I never thought I’d hear that from the mouth of a mad pirate.”
