Chapter 1033 Vita's War 8

The final member of the Four Directions Slaughter Wave was Akainu, and he was likely the most brutal of all. Even though the others killed, the deaths were usually quick and served a purpose with not much pain.

However, who can be instantly killed by lava? It did not have any explosive effect and was mostly burning and dissolving, so one touch would be cooked to death while screaming in sheer agony.

Akainu's eyes flashed with a special emotion. He seemed to almost see himself fighting against a bunch of filthy pirates and having a great time suppressing them with cruelty.

The poor civilians before him became like those pirates in his eyes and his movements became more active and filled with excitement. He even found himself shouting with joy with each one he killed.

Akainu was distracted by a noise and happened to see his younger brother Sanji in the air dropping down kicks full of flames.

Seeing Sanji manifesting flames, Akainu's eyes flickered as he felt the urge to punch Sanji through the abdomen from behind, but he suppressed this urge with a look of shock.

How could he think such evil things? And why was he having flashbacks of another life, where he was a ruthless bastard who deserved to be skinned alive?

Joker than looked over to Boyd and Shani them frowned. He threw out a calming card to the two that caused their red eyes to lessen and their slaughter to be more controlled because they needed to chill the fuck out.

Finally, he threw a ice card to Misery that rushed into the tip of his flask and mixed with the brew within. Misery swirled the flask with a sip and took a sip, immediately smacking his lips at the perfection.

He then glanced at joker with gratitude and mentally decided to stop calling the fellow a weird freak.

Happy Scholar simply sat to the side on the ship, far away from anyone else. He had an aggrieved expression and was muttering sullenly under his breath, glancing at Misery with dissatisfaction frequently.

Earlier, Misery had beaten him up for being a 'corruptive freak' and if he dared to use even a fart of his power, he would have to answer to Draco and Eva. After all, even Eva didn't often dare to use her abyssal abilities unless she wanted to really ruin a place.

Happy Scholar who had even less control of it was even more taboo and he could end up creating a bigger calamity for the whole world just with one careless act.

So he could only sit by the side and sulk while looking at everyone else having fun killing innocents and bullying the weak.
