Chapter 1331: Against the world
Su Xiao was standing on a huge rock on the coast.
The sun was slowly sinking below the horizon, and the waves were constantly beating on the rocks.
After Katakuri led his men away, Su Xiao completed the third stage of the main quest and received the last, fourth stage, the last link to complete the quest chain, and the last link to rank up. Once he completes this task, he will be promoted to a fourth-rank Hunter.
Raising a rank didn't directly increase a contractor's strength, but it allowed them to enter a higher-level world, and the higher the level of the world, the more rewards they could get.
That was the difference between a high-ranking contractor and a low-ranking one.
Under normal circumstances, after being promoted to the fourth rank, a contractor would only need to complete two or three derivative worlds to gain advantages with which they could defeat a third rank contractor without much trouble. However, there were exceptions. For example, Su Xiao was currently the strongest third-rank contractor. Even if the contractor was promoted to the fourth rank, let alone passing two or three worlds, even if he passed five or six worlds, he would be beheaded by Su Xiao without a chance of winning.
The gap between them was complex and it was impossible to catch up with it in a few worlds.
Su Xiao was definitely not inferior to the average rank four contractors. If a contractor of the fourth rank above average or so came up against him, then it wouldn't be so easy to deal with him anymore. As for the top rank four contractors, Su Xiao wasn't a match for them right now.
Because of this, Su Xiao had never thought of a head-on conflict with Kutu and the other rank five contractors, and there was something that puzzled him. According to his estimation, the rank five contractors shouldn't be inferior in strength to Charlotte Linlin, Kaido, and the others, so why hadn't they killed them yet?
If Kutu and his group had killed Charlotte Linlin earlier, they would have gained a huge amount of reputation, so much so that Su Xiao wouldn't even be able to make it to the top-5.
There were only two possible explanations. The first was that Kutu's group and himself were weak fifth-rank contractors, but that sounded strange, for it was because of them that Charlotte Linlin suppressed her anger and made a truce with Doflamingo.
Then there was only one explanation. Kutu and his group were very strong, so much so that they were forced to use a special item to infiltrate this world, which was why they had huge penalties for killing important characters, and it was because of them that they didn't dare to kill someone important.
In Su Xiao's personal opinion, the latter option sounded more truthful. Judging by the reputation gain rate, the probability that Kutu and Duck were members of the same guild was more than 80%.
And in the past, through contact with the Fleeting Illusion, he had clearly remembered that Utka and Masha were members of the same guild.
Three of the six fifth-rank contractors were from the same guild. Was it a coincidence? Unlikely. If Su Xiao understood correctly, Kutu, Duck, Masha, and the rest were all members of the Wuto Guild.».
The picture in Su Xiao's mind gradually became clearer. Kutu must have been the leader of the Wuto Guild. The six of them used a special item to enter the world of Van Pease. Although they could suppress the characters of this world with their power, they themselves had some limitations. For example, they couldn't leave a certain territory, or they couldn't kill certain characters that had a huge impact on the plot.
Su Xiao finally understood why Kutu and the others only competed with him in terms of reputation and didn't try to kill him in the Dress Rose.
— Although I can't be absolutely sure about it, this guess sounds more reliable, " Su Xiao muttered, causing the Chatterbox next to him to tilt his head and look at Su Xiao with his cute eyes.
— Let's go, " Su Xiao said and jumped down from the cliff. He needed to prepare for a new assignment, and he had half a month to complete it.

He needed to kill two "Heavenly Dragons".»!
In the world of Van Pease, there was a saying that was very simple. If anyone dares to offend the Sky Dragon, the Sea Watch will definitely send an admiral to pick up the offending person.
And it was about wounding, kidnapping, and so on, not murder.
Sky Dragons in this world were untouchable individuals. They were all descendants of nineteen of the twenty kings who created what is now called the "World Government" 800 years ago.».
Because of this, the status of the Heavenly Dragons wasn't difficult to imagine. Each of the Sky Dragons had a level of power that allowed them to control the admirals, the strongest men in the Marine Corps.
Formally, the World Government was under the control of the "Gorosei", the "Five Old Stars", but in reality the World Government was controlled by the Heavenly Dragons, although the Gorosei consisted of the highest-ranking Heavenly Dragons, but this was not known to everyone.
The hierarchy system of the World Government was in the form of a pyramid, at the top of which was "Im».
Below it were Gorosei and Sky Dragons.
There were no established communication channels between Gorosei and the Sky Dragons, they were responsible for completely different things.
The Gorosei were directly subordinate to Them, and in most cases they were the ones who controlled the World Government's armed forces, such as the Marines.
Most of the Sky Dragons didn't have much power, for they were practically always drinking, eating, and having fun. They literally threw money everywhere, as if that was their life's purpose.
But even so, the Sky Dragons were an important part of the World Government, because they were the descendants of kings.
For Im, the true supreme ruler of the World Government, ordinary Sky Dragons simply had to live in order for him to be able to use them for his own purposes if anything happened.
Under Gorosei's leadership was Supreme Commander Kong. Kong was managing the admiral of the Sea Watch fleet, Sengoku, and Sengoku was already giving orders to the three admirals. As for the " SR " department, this special faction was directly subordinate to Gorosei.
If you put the forces in order, the list will look like this: Im>Gorosei>Supreme Commander>Admiral of the Fleet>Three Admirals.
The Sky Dragons were an independent faction under His control, so they had the protection of all the countries of the world at once.
The SR department was run by Gorosei, Him, and half of the Sky Dragons.
And Su Xiao needed to kill some of the most important people in this world. Once that happens, he will become the number one enemy of all the states in this world.
Killing the Sky Dragons wasn't difficult, but living another 12 hours after killing them was already very difficult.
Once two Heavenly Dragons died at once, the World Government clearly wouldn't stop at sending three admirals. God only knew who exactly would come after Su Xiao.
The good news was that Su Xiao had more than ten days to prepare. Even better news was that the father and son would appear in the same place, and in the territory of the Quixote family, and Su Xiao had a high status in this family.
Doflamingo, who was already very tired from the recent events, did not know that a big brick would soon fall on his head.
After jumping off the cliff, Su Xiao headed towards the Royal Highlands.
Doflamingo still owed him one famous sword.
Once he got it, he would immediately try to upgrade Dragon Flash.
