Feel the Power of Susanoo, Yasaka Magatama!

"That's ruthless," Xi Yan said, staring at Gunko. "They actually killed so many of their own people without any mercy."

He could understand launching an attack to destroy his own clone, but why kill the guards as well?

Aren't they their own people?

"One of our own?"

Gunko glanced indifferently at the group of guards she had killed and said, "Who among them is on our side?"

To me, they are nothing more than inferior people.

They're just mere guards; what difference would it make if we killed them all?

Anyway, this thing can recruit another batch after a while, so killing her won't hurt.

As for those Nightmare Creatures...

Her attacks couldn't completely destroy those guys, so she didn't care much.

"Inferior people..." Xi Yan murmured, "Is it that kind of talk again?"

It seems this guy is one of the Celestial Dragons too.

Then, Xi Yan turned his gaze to Gunko and said, "He really is... arrogant."

"Arrogant?"

Gunko paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I'm just stating a fact."

In the eyes of these Celestial Dragons, all other human races are inferior!

So... she's not wrong to say that.

This time, Xi Yan didn't argue with her anymore, since there was no point in arguing with someone like that.

Then, Xi Yan grabbed the black giant who was still wrestling with him and kicked him!

"Bump!!"

The immense force sent him flying, hurtling towards the distant swarm of Black Creature!

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

Its heavy body slammed into some Nightmare Creatures, knocking them off their feet.

Without giving these guys another chance to rush up and attack him, Xi Yan swiftly conjured a pale golden Yasaka Magatama.

"Try this move!" Xi Yan shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Yan threw the Yasaka Magatama in his hand away!

"Whoosh~"

The enormous Yasaka Magatama swiftly flew to the center of the Nightmare Creatures, then unleashed a terrifying explosion that instantly engulfed the area where the Nightmare Creatures were, causing the earth to tremble!

"Boom!!"

"What... what the hell is that?!"

The people on Mary Geoise were stunned as they watched the massive explosion in the distance.

"What the hell is that?" a slave asked, his face grim. "A weapon of the World Government?"

The World Government possesses weapons of such power... will they still want to fight?

"I don't know..." another slave swallowed hard and said, "But in any case, we have no way back."

"That's true."

From the moment they stepped out of the slave cell, there was no turning back.

After all... the World Government won't let these slaves leave here alive!

Thinking of this, the slaves temporarily suppressed their thoughts and turned to flee into the distance.

Upon noticing this, the guards immediately shouted, "Hey, stop standing there! Hurry up and chase after them and kill them!"

If these guys manage to escape, they're doomed!

Upon hearing this, the other guards also turned their gaze away, then howled and chased after the slaves.

"Captain, what was that just now?" a guard asked tentatively.

The squad leader of the guards paused for a moment upon hearing this, then shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

"Could it be a weapon of the World Government?"

"Perhaps," said the squad leader of the guards.

However, he was more inclined to believe that the attack was launched by a monster than by a weapon.

For example... that Blood-Eyed Ninja wreaked havoc on Navy Headquarters alongside Whitebeard!

Thinking this, the squad leader of the guards turned his gaze towards the East District, wondering, 'Could it be this guy?'

Or perhaps a certain Marine Admiral has already arrived?

With this in mind, the man led the other members and quickly chased after the slaves in the distance.

"Stop right there!!!"

"Stop?"

The slaves sneered, "Only a fool would stop!"

If they stand still now, do they even have a chance to survive?

Do they really think they're fools?!

"Brothers, forget about these guys, let's fight our way out!"

"Profound!"

"Kill! Let's fight our way out!!"

In an instant, shouts of battle shook the heavens!

"Um?"

The awakened Saint Gilm was stunned for a moment, then learned what had just happened through the remaining Nightmare Creatures.

"That Blood-Eyed Ninja actually wiped out so many of my Nightmare Creatures with a single blow..." Saint Gilm said, frowning. "His destructive power is truly astonishing."

However... launching such a powerful attack must have taken a lot of energy from the opponent!

Thinking of this, Saint Gilm grinned.

"As long as these guys are still dreaming, my nightmare energy is limitless!" Saint Gilm said. "And how much stamina do you have?"

After saying that, Saint Gilm activated his Devil Fruit ability, drawing Nightmare Energy from the Nightmare Nest and sending it towards the distant battlefield!

After finishing this task, Saint Gilm gazed into the distance, thinking, 'If only I could exhaust this guy's stamina.'

That way... they can capture this guy alive!

The value of capturing him alive is far greater than obtaining a corpse!

Thinking of this, Saint Gilm burst into laughter.

Then he said, "Blood-Eyed Ninja... I'd like to see how long you can last!"

He wasn't the only one who thought this way; Saint Saturn shared the same sentiment.

"If we can exhaust the Blood-Eyed Ninja's stamina, we'll have a chance to capture him alive," Saint Saturn said.

"Capture alive?"

Saint Vowchuri paused for a moment, then shook his head and said, "What's the point?"

"He's not Devil Fruit User, so even if we capture him alive, we can't control him."

Once this guy recovers his strength, another big battle is inevitable!

Therefore... it's better to just kill the other party directly.

"You think I'd give him a chance to recover?" Saint Saturn sneered. "What I want to do, I can do while he's weakened."

Upon hearing this Saint Vowchuri glanced at Saint Saturn with some surprise, then his expression turned somewhat strange, as if he had thought of something.

'As expected of our Science Defense God of War,' Saint Vowchuri thought to himself.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. As long as they can capture this guy alive, they can get what they want, right?

"Where is Borsalino?" Saint Mars asked.

While it's not convenient for these guys to make a move right now, Borsalino can!

If the two God's Knights and Marine Admiral join forces, they should be able to defeat the enemy.

"I'm not sure," Saint Saturn shook his head and said, "But it should be here soon."

Even if Borsalino were at Navy Headquarters, he could get to Marineford within minutes, so he felt that Borsalino should be arriving soon.

Saint Mars paused for a moment upon hearing this, then rubbed his temples and said, "Hopefully that guy can hurry up."

Looking at the huge crater created by Xi Yan's attack in the distance, Gunko frowned.

"This power..."

Before she could finish speaking, she saw the Xi Yan below condense another Yasaka Magatama!!

"Try this move!!" Xi Yan shouted.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xi Yan threw the Yasaka Magatama Gunko!

"Whoosh~"

The Yasaka Magatama flew at an extremely fast speed, arriving in front of Gunko in mid-air in the blink of an eye!

Upon seeing this, Gunko's pupils immediately contracted.

Without hesitation, she activated her Devil Fruit power, placing the arrow beside her in an attempt to deflect the attack.

But before her arrow could even touch the Yasaka Magatama Yasaka Magatama, she noticed that it suddenly lit up!

As if struck by a sudden thought, Gunko's heart skipped a beat.

'This guy's planning to detonate it prematurely?!'

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

In an instant, Gunko was engulfed by the terrifying Kakkō!

Watching the figures engulfed by the explosion, Xi Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "Hmph, let's see how you stop this now."

The opponent can indeed use arrows to deflect his attack, but that might not be effective against an attack that explodes directly in his face!

The next moment, an unidentified object engulfed in flames fell from the sky and crashed towards the ground in the distance.

Seeing this, Xi Yan sneered, "Another one taken down!"

It seems the Celestial Dragons ' combat forces aren't that strong.

However... the Marine Admiral should already be on his way.

I wonder if it's Aokiji or Kizaru who's coming this time.

Or... will both come?

Well, the latter is more likely.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan nodded.

Just then, Xi Yan noticed some changes in the distance.

The Nightmare Creatures that had just been killed twisted their bodies again, clearly intending to revert to their original forms.

Seeing this, Xi Yan said, "It seems that we can't kill these guys without dealing with that Devil Fruit User."

"Let's punch a few holes in these guys first!"

Thinking of this, Xi Yan raised the Kido Time Piercing Spear in his hand and threw it at the Nightmare Creatures in the distance!

"Whoosh~"

"Puff!"

With a single strike, he easily pierced through those still-twisting Nightmare Creatures!

Subsequently, Xi Yan activated ' Yomitsu Toki ', freezing the wound on the Nightmare Creatures!

"Buzz~"

After doing this, Xi Yan once again conjured the Kido Time Piercing Spear in his hand, and then used the same method to punch one large hole after another into those Nightmare Creatures!

Looking at the Nightmare Creatures that was trying to solidify its body but couldn't, Xi Yan snorted and said, "Hmph, let's see if you'll take the bait now!"

If that guy dares to send that strange energy over, then... he can follow the clues to find that guy's location!

With that in mind, Xi Yan began to observe the ground around him, intending to see which direction those strange energies were coming from.

But Xi Yan was soon disappointed, because he discovered that the energy was coming from all directions!

Looking at the Nightmare Creatures whose body had reformed after gaining new energy, Xi Yan frowned and said, "It seems this Devil Fruit User is more cautious than I imagined."

Therefore... finding that guy won't be an easy task.

"Ouch... that really hurts." Xi Yan said through gritted teeth, "It seems that maintaining this stage of Susanoo for too long is still too much of a burden on the body."

Feeling the pain in his body, Xi Yan gasped, then deactivated Susanoo, returning himself to the ground.

The moment he landed, Xi Yan revealed a very comfortable expression.

"Phew... that feels so good," Xi Yan exclaimed with delight.

That feeling... was even better than drinking a cold beverage on a sweltering summer day!

Then, Xi Yan turned his gaze to the Nightmare Creatures that were almost back to their original forms and said, "Use Shadow Clone to find that guy's location!"

Although finding a person with special abilities in such a huge city is extremely difficult, it's better than doing nothing, isn't it!

Thinking of this, Xi Yan used the Dojutsu of his eyes to restore his condition, and then planned to activate the Shadow Clone Technique.

Just then, Xi Yan felt a strong sense of crisis, as if something with murderous intent was rushing towards him.

'This feeling is... behind me!'

The moment Xi Yan sensed the attack, an arrow flew from behind and pierced Xi Yan right through the heart!

"Puff!"

The sharp arrow, imbued with an aura of Haki, hurled Xi Yan into the air!

"Arrow?"

Looking at the arrow that had pierced through him, several question marks immediately appeared above Xi Yan's head.

'Is this from that woman?'

Wasn't the opponent already killed by his Yasaka Magatama? How come...

Etc!

Could it be that the one he just killed was that guy's ability clone?!

If that's the case, it would explain why the other person is still alive.

Subsequently, under the influence of the ' Kido Mitama Son ', Xi Yan's body twisted and eventually disappeared from the spot.

When it reappeared, it was completely intact.

Seeing this, Gunko frowned and said, "Is this your immortality...?"

She was certain that the attack had pierced the opponent's heart, but in the blink of an eye, the opponent had recovered.

This terrifying ability is even more frightening than their Super Regeneration!

"Shouldn't you have known this already?" Xi Yan raised an eyebrow.

"I did know a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to recover so quickly," Gunko said.

Upon hearing Gunko's words, Xi Yan immediately deduced some information.

That means... the other party probably didn't watch the battle at Navy Headquarters, otherwise they would definitely know how fast I recover!

Then, Xi Yan said, "What's wrong with you now?"

"A clone?"

"A clone?"

Gunko's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this, then he said calmly, "If you say so, then so be it."

Subsequently, Gunko did not give Xi Yan much time to think and decisively launched an attack on Xi Yan.

"Arrow Rain!"

Numerous arrows appeared in mid-air, then mercilessly struck at Xi Yan ahead!

"Earth Release · Earth Flow Wall!"

"Boom!!"

A massive earthen Earth Wall appeared in front of Xi Yan, protecting him from behind.

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

A barrage of arrows slammed into the Earth Flow Wall Earth Flow Wall of Xi Yan, causing it to shake violently and sending a large number of rocks flying!

A moment later...

"Boom!!"

The Earth Flow Wall, having withstood a barrage of attacks, was finally shattered by Gunko's arrow!

"Go to hell!" Gunko shouted.

As soon as the words were spoken, several arrows shot forward, heading straight for Xi Yan's head!
