OPI Chapter 478: The Ryūchidō Massacre
🕑 Added 2025-07-20 19:33:56 +0000 UTCWith a blend of illusion techniques, stealth, and exceptional speed—combined with the relentless interference of countless serpents on the ground—Brogy was indeed starting to feel the frustration.
However, he soon noticed that the invisibility of the three snake princesses wasn’t flawless.
If he probed carefully with his Observation Haki, he could still detect faint traces of their presence.
That made things easier.
Brogy stomped hard against the ground, using “Shave” to instantly vanish.
In the next moment—
Brogy appeared before Ichikishimahime.
Under her twisted expression of sheer terror, Brogy showed no mercy. With a brutal swing of his massive axe, he smashed her into a mangled heap of flesh and blood.
The sight utterly terrified Tagitsuhime and Tagorihime, who remained hidden not far away.
“You're next. Die!!”
The golden giant turned his cold gaze beneath the visor of his golden helmet and mask.
Then, he raised his axe and hurled a massive flying slash toward the area where Tagitsuhime was hiding.
In the blink of an eye, the crimson blade light swept through, reducing everything in its path—including countless serpents—to shreds.
It finally engulfed the fleeing Tagitsuhime, leaving behind nothing but a piercing, agonized scream.
“Hm?”
Just as Brogy casually swatted aside another wave of charging snakes and prepared to pursue Tagorihime, a flash of red light suddenly caught his eye.
Looking closer, he saw a serpent-shaped beam of red energy spiraling around a black-purple orb before disappearing into it—racing straight toward him.
In that instant—
The orb absorbed all of the serpent-shaped red light and exploded with a blinding white brilliance, accompanied by an unbearably sharp noise.
Brogy’s vision and hearing were instantly cut off.
At the same time, he felt the air around him vibrating violently—wave after wave of sonic force battering his entire body.
His Armament Haki was rapidly being drained.
Yet the sound waves seemed to possess intense penetrative power. Before long, Brogy began to feel the first pangs of pain.
But the worst part, for him, was the sheer harshness of the sound—its grating, unbearable shrillness.
[BOOM!!!]
Suddenly, the ground beneath Brogy exploded violently.
In that instant, a massive purple serpent burst up from underground, maw wide open, coiling tightly around him.
This was Manda—one of the Great Snakes under the White Snake Sage!
At the same time—
A greenish-blue serpent with diamond-shaped patterns all over its body, and a crimson-scaled cobra-like serpent with a single blind right eye and a savagely twisted demeanor both erupted from the earth before and behind the golden giant.
“Tch. Weakest of the bunch, yet the first to strike, huh.”
Garaga sneered coldly, its large amber-yellow serpent eye narrowing.
“Huh?”
“Aren’t you the weakest one here, you one-eyed failure?”
Manda snapped back with disdain as it continued to tighten its coils around Brogy, never letting its attention stray from its prey.
“So this is a human from another world… Huge. I’ve never tasted anything like it.”
Manda hissed greedily, tongue flicking as it stared hungrily at Brogy.
Then, with a terrifying gaping maw and venomous fangs, it lunged toward Brogy’s neck.
But at that very moment—
A surge of overwhelming force erupted from Brogy’s body, sending an undeniable shock through Manda’s massive frame.
“ROAR!!!”
Brogy let out a thunderous roar toward the sky, his body bursting with radiant red light.
His form began to grow—expanding rapidly.
Manda’s pupils trembled violently. It immediately uncoiled and retreated.
If it had held on any longer, it feared it would’ve been torn apart.
“Wh-What…?”
Both Aoda and Garaga, as well as Manda—and even the concealed White Snake Sage—witnessed the staggering transformation with their own eyes.
In the blink of an eye, Brogy had changed from a “golden giant” into a towering, crimson monstrosity with eight hideous serpent heads!
The Yamata no Orochi from Starfish World had descended.
It stunned Manda, Aoda, and Garaga.
Even the countless serpents surrounding them were so overwhelmed by the aura and pressure emanating from Brogy that they dared not come any closer.
It seemed that when facing these extraordinary serpents of Ryūchidō, Brogy’s abilities produced an effect similar to Haoshoku Haki—and it was a passive, continuous kind.
Naturally, Brogy noticed this keenly.
He didn’t hesitate in the slightest.
He opened the gaping maws of all eight serpent heads and spewed out jets of foul-smelling, mist-shrouded black water at the swarming sea of serpents around him.
Calamity Waters!
A technique Brogy developed after studying the black mist of “Black Marlin”—a Super-Class Danger Beast from the Teigu World.
It had effectively added a powerful, deadly ability to the Yamata no Orochi Fruit.
[RUMBLE—]
As those eight torrents of black water hit the ground, they instantly submerged the snake horde in their path.
Then they surged outward in a furious tide, like a jet-black tsunami crashing in all directions.
Wherever those torrents of black water surged, it didn’t matter how large the snakes were, how strong, or how far they had progressed in Sage Arts—once touched, their flesh and blood would begin to rot rapidly, until nothing remained but bones, and eventually, even those were dissolved into the black water itself.
The sheer horror of the scene nearly drove the snakes of Ryūchidō into utter panic.
Driven by primal survival instinct and the looming threat of death, they could no longer heed the orders of the White Snake Sage. They fled wildly, scrambling for their lives toward distant safety.
But the waves stirred up by the Calamity Waters spread with terrifying speed.
Entire swaths of serpents trailing behind were engulfed one after another by the black tide.
Even Manda wasn’t spared.
Yet when the black water surged over his massive serpent form, the color of his scales rapidly shifted from violet to white—there was no sign of flesh corrosion at all.
It was Manda’s Snake Molt Technique!
Much like a shinobi’s Substitution Jutsu, he had clearly burrowed deep underground without anyone noticing.
On another front, Garaga stared at the encroaching flood of black water drawing ever closer.
Without hesitation, he turned his head and unleashed a massive stream of venom—just as black and ink-like—from his maw!
[Sssssss—]
The moment Garaga’s venom met Brogy’s Calamity Waters, a hair-raising sound echoed in the air.
The two substances seemed to devour each other with violent intensity—one moment causing petrification, the next melting into nothingness.
But unfortunately, the amount he released was far too little compared to the oncoming tide.
Before long, all the venom was completely submerged and neutralized.
Still, it had bought Garaga just enough time to escape.
As for Aoda—
He now displayed movement speed that defied all logic, transforming into a streak of green light as he bolted far away without looking back.
Meanwhile—
On Brogy’s end, now in his Yamata no Orochi form, the outpouring of Calamity Waters had finally ceased.
Eventually, it stabilized into a pitch-black lake centered around him.
But it had turned the entire area into a hellish scene—shrouded in thick black mist, stinking of blood and rot.
“What a formidable technique… What a monstrous eight-headed creature!”
“But this is still my Ryūchidō!”
The White Snake Sage’s voice echoed from all directions at once, seemingly amplified by genjutsu.
Brogy frowned with visible irritation, then let out a thunderous roar: “So this so-called White Snake Sage doesn’t even have the guts to show himself and fight me face to face?!”
“Hmph. I admit your brute strength is impressive… but winning a battle isn’t just about brute strength, little brat from another world~”
“And I don’t even understand—why should I fight you? Why do you want to fight me? I came here to join your World Government!”
Hidden in the shadows, the White Snake Sage sounded genuinely confused—even a little aggrieved.
“You eat humans. That alone makes it unforgivable!!!”
All eight heads of the Yamata no Orochi standing in the middle of the black lake roared in unison.
“…Huh?”
“Snakes eat humans, humans eat snakes, eat chickens, eat pigs—what’s the difference? It’s all survival of the fittest. And I wasn’t even planning on eating you, I—hmm?!”
Before the White Snake Sage could finish defending himself, he suddenly jerked his head upward while still cloaked in invisibility.
And saw—descending from above—a massive transparent dome he hadn’t noticed before.
“Brogy, what’s going on?!”
Just then, through an air gate that had opened in midair, three golden giants leapt down one after another.
[BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!]
The explosive shockwaves from their Moonwalks thundered through the entire Ryūchidō.
The White Snake Sage’s pupils narrowed to slits in an instant, and an overwhelming sense of danger surged through him.
Three more?!
And just one of them was already hard enough to handle…
