Rescuing Uta!
Tot Musica sensed Haku's power!
Having absorbed a considerable amount of power, he roared angrily at Haku, intending to display his own strength!
Haku stared coldly at the Ancient Demon King, not letting him go despite his fear and threats.
"Zanka no Tachi - North - Heavenly Ashes!"
A scorching slash flew towards Tot Musica!
Almost instantly!
Tot Musica's entire upper body was completely obliterated by Haku's slash.
"Isn't this power a bit too exaggerated?" Bartolomeo exclaimed, his mouth agape.
However, he wasn't finished being surprised.
The upper body of Tot Musica, which had disappeared, reformed.
"Ha! It really does resemble a parasite."
Haku could clearly sense that Tot Musica was recovering himself with the help of Uta's power!
Haku's gaze sharpened even more! He took a deep breath, and the Spiritual Power within his body surged like boiling magma, gathering at the tip of the Zanka no Tachi!
The moment Tot Musica recovered, he immediately raised his hands and slammed them towards Haku's direction.
The next instant, Haku was already standing on Tot Musica.
"The Zanka no Tachi - East - Rising Sun Blade!"
The tip of the Zanka no Tachi lightly touched Tot Musica's left hand, and a burst of flames erupted instantly.
Like the first rays of dawn, the flames instantly enveloped Tot Musica's left hand. In a violent explosion, the hand was completely vaporized, leaving only a wisp of smoke rising into the air.
Tot Musica let out a painful roar, its massive body trembling violently, but it did not back down. Instead, it flailed its remaining limbs even more frantically, trying to shake Haku off its body.
The Music Soldiers summoned by Uta flew towards Haku, preparing to shoot Haku down!
Haku moved with lightning speed, using the recoil from the explosion to trace a graceful arc through the air before landing steadily on the ground. Holding the Zanka no Tachi, his eyes blazing, he stared intently at the struggling Tot Musica, already having his next move planned.
"Want to use Uta's power to regenerate indefinitely? Then I'll show you what true despair is!" Haku's voice was deep and powerful. He raised the Zanka no Tachi again, this time with a resolute look in his eyes.
"Zanka no Tachi - South - Great Burial Array of Ten Trillion Deaths!"
With a low shout from Haku, he plunged the Ryujin Jakka in his hand into the ground! Towering pillars of fire burst forth!
The entire sky seemed to be ablaze, and the souls that had died under Haku's blade transformed into charred skeletons that charged towards the Music Soldiers!
Haku's actions aren't over yet!
He also wants to break through this Mind Space and forcibly connect the Mental World with the real world temporarily!
"Zanka no Tachi - Ultimate Technique! Annihilation!"
Tot Musica sensed an unprecedented crisis and tried its best to dodge, but Haku's attack was faster and more powerful than it could have imagined. Almost as soon as it reacted, the slash hit.
"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, Tot Musica's body began to disintegrate under the scorching sun-like strikes; not only his limbs, but also the surrounding space began to crumble!
As expected, relying on his own formidable strength.
Haku really managed to forcefully open up the Mental World!
The real world!
The Red-Haired who was blocking Tot Musica looked as if he had witnessed something horrifying!
He ignored everything and immediately hurled it towards the island below.
Click! Click-click!
What did Tot Musica experience in the real world?
Its body began to tremble violently, as if it had resonated with itself in another world.
Shanks seemed to have heard something; the instant he landed, he immediately charged up and unleashed a powerful attack, 'Kamunagi!'
Red-Haired Shanks's all-out attack, which was originally enough to shake mountains, seemed to only exacerbate the chaos within Tot Musica's body at this moment.
"What... what's going on?" The Red-Haired man frowned. He could feel the unease and fear emanating from Tot Musica, a panic that transcended the physical boundaries.
At the same time, the collapse of the Mental World, like a chain reaction, quickly spread to reality.
Dark clouds gathered over the island, Dark Clouds flashed and thunder roared, as if even the Power of Nature were responding to Haku's feat. Cracks began to appear in Tot Musica's body; these cracks were not merely physical, but also a collapse on a spiritual level.
"Haku... did he do it?" Luffy and the others looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with both shock and anticipation. They knew this battle was already beyond their capabilities!
Suddenly, a dazzling light burst forth from Tot Musica's body, shooting straight into the sky and illuminating the entire island as if it were daytime.
"No--!" Tot Musica roared in despair, but its voice was quickly drowned out by the earth-shattering power. As the light faded, Tot Musica's body began to disintegrate again, turning into countless fragments that drifted into the air.
However, after drifting outwards for a while, these countless fragments immediately began to return to the distance.
Seeing this, Haku, who was using Observation Haki to search for something, grinned and sneered, "Just waiting for you to continue extracting Uta's power!"
"Binding Arts #4: This Rope!"
Haku pointed her index finger at Tot Musica!
A thick spiritual rope materialized and flew into Tot Musica's pitted and cratered body!
A hint of panic flashed in Tot Musica's eyes, who had not yet recovered!
Almost instantly, just as this Ancient Demon King was about to struggle...
Haku had already caught something, laughed and said, "Luffy, get ready!"
Luffy and his crew, who were watching Haku's Kamui from afar, heard Haku's words.
This is combined with the unique Uta that is present in Tot Musica's body.
They immediately prepared to pick up the other party!
Haku tensed her arms abruptly, pulled by his powerful and terrifying arm strength.
Haku pulled Uta, who had been imprisoned within the Ancient Demon King's body, out directly!
Guided by the spirit rope, Uta's figure, like the light of dawn, pierced through Tot Musica's shattered body and sped towards Luffy and his crew. Though her face appeared weak, her eyes shone with the joy and determination of regaining her freedom.
"Uta!" Luffy was the first to rush forward, opening his arms to welcome her back. When their figures overlapped, everything around them seemed to fall silent, leaving only the sound of their heartbeats and breathing. Luffy hugged Uta tightly, and the weight in his heart finally lifted.
"Luffy, thank you everyone..." Uta's voice was weak but full of gratitude. Her gaze swept over the faces of each of her companions; these people had risked their lives to save her!
