"Boom--!"

Griffon and Dragon Fist clash head-on once again!

The Conqueror's Haki transformed into black and red lightning, exploding in the sky like two blazing suns devouring each other!

The figures of the Red-Hair and the dragon scales were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, the air being torn apart into dark cracks.

Shanks, caught up in the fight, kept his eyes glued to Uta high in the sky, his mind almost completely captivated!

"Navy!! Get out of the way!!"

Luffy eyes burned with lightning and fire as he roared in response, "Pirate, you're so selfish!! You're taking the world down with you!!"

The two exchanged blows with their fists and swords, sparks flying like a rain of stars, and the entire Battlefield trembled under their clashes.

However, Shanks's actions became increasingly erratic due to his concern for Uta, and he was gradually forced into a stalemate by Luffy, with neither able to break free.

--at the same time.

On the other side, the storm of musical notes continued to pour down wildly, and the entire world seemed to collapse under the dominance of Uta's singing!

"We can't delay any longer, Luo!!"

Nami spread her arms wide, and the Thundercloud and Windblade poured down simultaneously, forcefully cutting a path through the suppressed musical notes.

The Baby-5's twin cannons fired simultaneously, their steel roar resounding like war drums, shattering musical notes into fragments of light.

Usopp gritted his teeth, knelt steadily on one knee, and locked his sniper scope firmly on Uta in the air.

"Ultimate Move: Fierce Bird Star!!"

Exploding bullets shot through the air, and a series of sparks exploded around Uta high in the sky, forcing her to momentarily lose focus and deviate from her position!

Sanji leaped into the air, flames whipping up a tornado, standing guard in front of Nami and Baby-5, and forcefully shattered the oncoming musical note chains!

The five of them worked together to tear a gap in Luo's defenses!

Luo stood in the very center of the storm, his coat Hunting Roar the wind, and a sudden burst of blue light ignited in his pupils!

Kikoku wailing echoed as he slowly raised his left hand, the entire space within his palm seemingly transformed into an "operating table" in that instant!

"ROOM--!!!"

The blue, semi-transparent circular space suddenly expanded, directly covering the entire Battlefield, causing even the void to tremble and buzz!

High in the sky, Uta, who was dodging Usopp's attack, suddenly felt a fear he had never felt before rise in his heart.

"What's this--?!"

Luo roared in a low voice, his voice like thunder. "R·ROOM--Sever!!"

"Whoosh--!"

The moment the Kikoku are drawn, the blue light transforms into a scalpel dissecting the world, and heaven and earth seem to lose their integrity under this scalpel!

A blue ring suddenly appeared around Uta, locking him firmly in place!

A massive slit appeared in the entire dream space, instantly Cut through the sky, the stage, the musical notes, the air... even the sense of time!

R·ROOM·Cut!

"Ah--!"

Before she could even react, the Valkyrie's golden armor was instantly shattered in a burst of light!

The next second, her figure, along with the "space" she controlled, was forcibly cut in two!

"Boom!!--"

Amidst a deafening roar, the sky of the entire spiritual world shattered like glass, with fragments of light falling in all directions, as if the world had fallen into apocalypse!

Nami, Sanji, and the others were all so shocked that their pupils contracted, and their hearts were filled with horror.

Usopp's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice trembling. "This... this is Law's Awakening Op-Op Fruit... it's practically godlike power!!"

"Boom--!"

The entire spiritual world seemed to be cleaved in two by that single blade. Amidst the violent tremors, countless cracks spread wildly, tearing apart this illusory realm like a spiderweb!

"Uta--!"

Shanks roared, his domineering Haki exploding into a storm, bloodshot veins popping out at the corners of his eyes!

He suddenly erupted, forcing Luffy several steps, and was about to rush towards Uta in the air.

But the next second, a dragon's roar resounded!

"Red-Hair!! You're so arrogant!!"

Luffy's eyes burned with lightning and fire, his scales intertwined with Haki, his half-dragon body like that of a god or demon. He transformed into a pink dragon shadow and charged forward, black and red lightning gathering at his fist!

"Dragon Bone - Meteor!!"

"Boom--!"

The black and red Haki transformed into a falling meteor, carrying the power to tear apart heaven and earth, and crashed down!

"Clang--!"

Shanks gritted his teeth, regained his senses, and blocked the attack. Griffon's sword clashed with the Dragon Fist, sparks flying!

The shockwave tore through space, shattering musical notes and light and shadow instantly upon Impact!

"Click--!"

The blade trembled violently, and Shanks was ultimately blasted away!

His body, like a cannonball, smashed through the collapsing Golden City, its fragments exploding in the sky and turning into a shower of falling meteors!

"Boom--!"

After Ronaldo's fatal blow, his entire mental state was completely thrown off balance!

The golden dome collapsed, the earth cracked and churned, and the suspended, illusory buildings exploded one after another!

The original clamor and cheers have now turned into hollow echoes, growing ever more distant and lifeless.

--The spiritual world has collapsed.

Valkyrie Uta was cleaved in two by the blue halo, her body plummeting out of control!

Her wings completely disintegrated, the fragments turning into countless luminous feathers that drifted through the collapsing dreamscape.

"Uta!!"

Shanks roared and struggled to get up from the ruins, but was stopped again by Luffy who came to attack!

Two Conqueror's Haki intertwined once more in the distance, neither willing to yield!

On the other side, Luo withdrew his Kikoku, his gaze turning cold:

"I didn't kill her; I merely used the space-time Cut of the Op-Op Fruit to temporarily deprive her of control over her body!"

"Is there any hope for her?!" Nami asked urgently.

Luo replied in a deep voice, "If the toxins from the Sleepless Mushroom haven't completely penetrated it, there's still a chance!"

"Then stop talking nonsense!!" Nami suddenly opened her arms, and the clouds surged like a tidal wave, lifting everyone up!

A fierce wind whipped up the clouds, which transformed into a flying boat, carrying Law, Sanji, Baby-5, and Usopp as they hurtled down towards the falling Uta!

Luo's eyes were fixed on the descending red and white figure. "The Sleepless Mushroom... as long as I can remove the toxin in time, she still has a chance to live!!"

However, just as Uta's upper body crashed heavily to the ground—

"Buzz--"

The air suddenly trembled, as if an invisible giant hand had plucked the heartstrings of the world.

The next moment, a whisper escaped from Uta's mouth.

It wasn't a cry for help, nor a groan of pain, but a strange melody—without any instruments, yet forming its own movement, like an ancient incantation being unconsciously hummed by her.

"Thump... thump thump... thump..."

The rhythm was low and somber, like the heart of an abyss beating in the darkness, sending shivers down one's spine.

Luo Xin's heart skipped a beat, and he abruptly reached out to stop the crowd, his gaze fixed on Uta.

The surrounding scenery suddenly became still--

The world, which should have continued to collapse, actually stopped to the tune of this melody!

The shattered fragments of the castle float in mid-air, as if time has been frozen;

Countless fragments of broken musical notes are drawn together by unseen threads, slowly converging as if to reconstruct a new dream in the void.

Baby-5 turned pale at the sight, her legs trembling uncontrollably. She stammered, pulling at Luo, "What... what... what sound is that?!"

Meanwhile, Shanks, who was fiercely clashing with Luffy, suddenly heard that deep melody and his body stiffened abruptly!

"No way..."

He immediately roared, his voice hoarse. "Uta! Stop it!! Don't keep singing!!"

But Uta, who was lying on the ground humming a tune, had a vacant look in his eyes, as if he was no longer under the control of reason.

Her singing seemed to be summoning an even more terrifying nightmare.
