【‘It seems our plan to take them down one by one has failed! ...’】
【‘This guy can’t be killed. We should go for the other one first...’】
【‘It seems we can only rely on the CP organization members...’】
【Kumadori and the others watched the unkillable Hidan, then looked towards Kakuzu not far away...】
【In their minds, since Hidan couldn't be killed, they should prioritize taking down Kakuzu. Unfortunately, they got the order wrong. They hadn't expected Hidan to possess the power of immortality...】
【However, even though their plan failed, they didn't lose heart. After all, they weren't the only ones attacking this time...】
【While Kumadori and the other three admirals were attacking Hidan, a group of people were also lying in wait in a deserted clock tower not far away...】
【They were members of the CP organization, along with Smoker from the Marines...】
【Seeing the three Marine vice admirals ambush Hidan without killing him, they were also quite surprised!...】
【‘The Marines’ attack failed. It’s our turn... Target: Kakuzu of the Akatsuki...’】
【‘Aim for a one-hit kill...’】
【‘Understood!...’】
【‘Smoker, use your ability to cover us as we attack...’】
【‘Yes...’】
【After exchanging a few words, they quickly closed in on Kakuzu...】
【Meanwhile, Hidan and the three Marine vice admirals were already engaged in a fierce battle, their weapons clashing against each other...】
【Kumadori, Hina, and Dalmatian, as Marine vice admirals, were incredibly powerful. The three of them combined unleashed an overwhelming force...】
【Countless fierce sword strikes and claw attacks slammed into Hidan's body, leaving him riddled with wounds...】
【If it were an ordinary person, they would have been dead long ago. But unfortunately for them, they were facing Hidan...】
【Hidan possessed immortality. No matter how he was attacked, he wouldn’t die... Even though his body was covered in wounds, he continued to attack the three Marine vice admirals as if nothing had happened...】
【‘Hey... Hidan, can you deal with them already? You’ve been wasting too much time...’ Seeing the Marine vice admirals and Hidan battling it out, Kakuzu said impatiently. He was waiting to collect the bounty, not waste time here...】
【‘You bastard, Kakuzu, what are you doing! They’re my chosen sacrifices. I’m going to offer them to the Jashin-sama... Don’t interfere...’ Hidan had been stabbed in the chest by a sharp sword, the blade piercing through his chest, but he was fine. He yelled at Kakuzu...】
【‘Hmph, you’ve wasted too much time. Let me take care of them...’ Kakuzu snorted coldly, took a step forward, and was about to make his move...】
【‘Not good! ...’ Seeing Kakuzu about to attack, the three Marine vice admirals immediately looked solemn...】
【Dealing with the immortal Hidan was already enough of a hassle. If Kakuzu, a member of the Akatsuki, intervened as well, it would be a real problem...】
【‘Damn pirate, die! White Fist...’ At that moment, Smoker burst out from the shadows, his arm transforming into smoke, pushing his fist towards Kakuzu...】
【‘Earth Grudge Fear...’ Seeing Smoker’s attack, Kakuzu responded with a fist of his own, countless black tentacles shooting out from his fist...】
【‘Puh...’ The two fists collided, Smoker's smoke fist shattered instantly, but Kakuzu’s fist continued, surging toward Smoker...】
【‘Bang... Ah...’ A scream rang out. Kakuzu’s fist slammed into Smoker’s face, sending him flying backward with a painful cry...】
【‘Such weak strength. You dare attack me? You’re asking to die...’ Having easily dealt with Smoker, Kakuzu sneered...】
【But was that the end of Kakuzu’s attack? Obviously not...】
【‘Attack... Soru, Shigan...’】
【‘Soru... Tekkai, Heavy Punch...’】
【The moment Kakuzu sent Smoker flying, two CP organization members charged forward, attacking Kakuzu at the same time...】
【Facing the two CP organization members charging at him, Kakuzu reacted quickly and met them head-on...】
【‘Bang... Bang...’ After a flurry of punches and kicks, the two CP organization members were sent flying...】
【‘This... so strong! Such powerful martial arts... This Akatsuki member is completely different from the other one...’ The two CP organization members landed on the ground, thinking with heavy hearts...】
【Although Hidan was incredibly powerful, his martial arts skills weren’t very strong. Hidan relied mainly on his immortality, engaging in a fight where he traded blows with his opponent...】
【But this Kakuzu was different. His martial arts skills and combat experience were incredibly rich...】
【‘Heh, were you two trying to sneak up on me? I’m not like that idiot Hidan...’ Kakuzu laughed mockingly at the two CP organization members...】
【But just as Kakuzu’s words fell, a black blade pierced his chest. Then, a CP organization member emerged from the shadows behind Kakuzu...】
【‘Ah... How is this possible! ... How did you get behind me...’ Suddenly struck in his vital spot, Kakuzu screamed in disbelief, looking back...】
【Relying on his powerful martial arts and rich combat experience, Kakuzu was absolutely certain that no one had been behind him just now. It was impossible for him to have been ambushed...】
【‘I’m a user of the “Sneak Attack” Devil Fruit. I can use the shadows of any object to launch a surprise attack...’】
【‘Now you’re going to die...’ The CP organization member thrust the long sword in his hand again, piercing through Kakuzu’s chest, destroying his heart...】
【Kakuzu’s body went limp like a corpse, falling to the ground...】
【‘We did it...’】
【‘We took care of one...’】
【‘Now it’s his turn...’】
【Seeing the dead Kakuzu, smiles spread across the faces of the CP organization members】
【So this is an Akatsuki member? Not so impressive...】
【Now that Kakuzu of the Akatsuki had been eliminated, the only one left was Hidan...】
【‘It’s over, it’s over, everything is over. Kakuzu-sama has been killed... What should I do? I don’t want to be caught by the Marines...’ Nami thought anxiously...】
【Nami could already imagine what was going to happen. Now that Kakuzu had been killed, Hidan was next, and then it would be her turn...】
【With her current strength, she was no match for the Marines. She was bound to be captured and thrown in a prison cell. She would spend the rest of her days in that prison...】
In the outside world, seeing the Akatsuki member Kakuzu killed by the CP organization in the video, everyone was astonished.
“What is going on!? Did an Akatsuki member just die like that!?...”
“It shouldn’t be like that! Shouldn’t the Akatsuki members all be incredibly powerful!?...”
“Yeah! Whether it was Deidara or Sasori, they had incredibly terrifying abilities. How could this guy called Kakuzu be so weak, being killed by a CP organization member...”
“Is this guy not a real Akatsuki member?...”
“Don’t die, Akatsuki member! I’m still waiting for the information about the tailed beasts...”
“...”
Through the future videos of Deidara and Sasori, as well as news reports, everyone knew that the Akatsuki members were incredibly strong, each possessing the strength to confront a Marine admiral.
How come this Akatsuki member called Kakuzu was killed by the CP organization?
Was he really an Akatsuki member? Maybe he was an imposter!
More importantly, many people were planning to rely on the actions of the Akatsuki members in the videos to get information about the other tailed beasts.
Now the Akatsuki member was going to die. How were they going to capture the tailed beasts?
If the Akatsuki members didn’t capture the tailed beasts, how were they going to get information about them?
Without information about the tailed beasts, how were they going to obtain their power?
Unlike these people who were filled with doubts, the World Government and the Marines were overjoyed when they saw Kakuzu being killed.
“Did you see that? This is the strength of our World Government and the Marines...”
“That’s right. What is an Akatsuki? They still died in the hands of our World Government CP organization members...”
“Not only will this Akatsuki member called Kakuzu die, but that guy called Hidan will die too...”
“The World Government is the strongest! Justice will prevail in the Marines...”
“...”
You know, in the last future video, the Marines and the World Government were totally humiliated. They were either getting beat up by the Akatsuki members or blown up by the tailed beasts.
Now, finally seeing the Akatsuki being wiped out, they felt a sense of vindication.
But did Kakuzu of the Akatsuki really die?
Everyone focused their attention on the screen in the sky once more.
【After killing Kakuzu, the CP organization members all turned their attention to Hidan...】
【‘We took care of one, now it’s his turn...’】
【‘What kind of ability does he have? He’s sustained such serious injuries, yet he hasn’t died...’】
【‘It’s certainly a strange ability, but it’s useless. He’s going to die here today...’】
【‘You guys keep covering me. I’m going to give him the killing blow. I’ll chop his body into pieces...’】
【The CP organization members exchanged glances and quickly devised a plan of attack...】
【Even though Hidan seemed to be immortal, the CP organization members didn’t mind. If he couldn't be killed, they’d just chop his body to pieces. They didn’t believe he could survive with his body dismembered...】
【‘Understood... Attack...’】
【The CP organization members exchanged glances, prepared for battle, about to charge towards Hidan...】
【But just as the CP organization members were about to move, a figure suddenly appeared, attacking one of the CP organization members...】
【The CP organization members had their eyes fixed on Hidan. They hadn’t expected anyone to attack them, and by the time they realized something was wrong, it was already too late...】
【“Bang... Rumble!...” One of the CP organization members had no time to react before he was sent flying backward, slamming into the ground and creating a large crater...】
【“What! Who is it!!?...”】
【“It’s you! How is this possible!?...”】
【“Didn’t you die!?...”】
【Seeing who had attacked them, the CP organization members all exclaimed in shock. Because the person who had ambushed them was none other than Kakuzu, the one they had just killed...】
