Causality Thunderstorm!

Seeing the four arrows hurtling towards him, Gunko clenched his fists and said, "You think you can hit me again like this?"

"It's useless!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Gunko used his Devil Fruit ability to create four arrows that could change the direction of their attack, and then slammed these arrows into the four arrows.

"I won't..."

Before Gunko could finish speaking, she noticed that the arrows she had redirected had changed direction and were flying towards her again!

Gunko:???

She's already changed the direction of her attack, how could she possibly fly back?

After a moment's thought, Gunko imbued the arrowheads with his Haki and then fiercely struck the four arrows.

"Clang!"

Four metallic clangs rang out as the arrows, imbued with an aura of Haki, were sent flying and struck the Nightmare Creatures with pinpoint accuracy.

"Whoosh~"

"Puff!"

Nightmare Creatures:???

Seeing the pale golden Arrow Feather on their bodies, these Nightmare Creatures were immediately silenced.

"It seems that Haki can knock these things away," Gunko said. "And when these arrows hit other creatures, they also lose kinetic energy."

In that case... let's use these Nightmare Creatures as shields for our attack!

Thinking of this, a glint flashed in Gunko's eyes.

Before she could make a move, a pale golden Long Arrow arrived behind her and pierced her without mercy!

"Puff!"

Gunko:!!!

Gunko, who had his back to Xi Yan, suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"Damn it, I was careless..."

After quickly moving away by stepping on the arrows, Gunko turned his attention to Xi Yan.

Noticing Gunko's gaze, Xi Yan grinned and said, "Isn't this quite useful?"

Gunko:...

Xi Yan's words were like a slap in the face to Gunko, making her face twitch.

"So, say those kinds of things less often in the future," Xi Yan said, "Or you'll easily get embarrassed."

As he spoke, Xi Yan glanced again at the Nightmare Creatures with pale golden Long Arrow stuck in their bodies.

Then he thought to himself, 'Let's see if this kind of attack, which is similar to true damage, can take them down.'

If we can use the Kyojitsu Kuu Kyuu to take them down, we won't have to use Shadow Clone to find that Devil Fruit User.

"How dare you to play games with me like this..." Gunko coldly looked at Xi Yan and said, "I'll make you regret this."

I've heard that line countless times.

Xi Yan picked at his ear and said, "But unfortunately... that kind of threat won't work on me!"

The Celestial Dragons he killed almost always said this before they died, but it was of no use.

This time, Gunko ignored Xi Yan and instead looked down at the pale golden Long Arrow that had pierced him.

She thought for a moment, then imbued the arrow with Haki.

Then, he tried to use the force of the arrowhead to remove the arrow from his body.

After trying for a moment, Gunko fell silent.

"Ineffective...?"

The arrow was clearly in her body, so why did she feel like it wasn't there at all?

Not only that, even the Haki lost its effect...

What on earth is going on?!

Filled with doubt, Gunko looked at Xi Yan and asked, "What exactly is this thing?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Xi Yan said, "You'll find out soon enough."

Gunko paused for a moment upon hearing this, then his eyes turned cold as he said, "Then let's kill you first!"

If you kill the opponent, their abilities will definitely lose their effectiveness!

With that in mind, Gunko activated the power of the Devil Fruit without hesitation.

"Buzz buzz buzz~"

Numerous arrows appeared behind Gunko, quickly forming an enormous arrowhead!

Then, Gunko wrapped Armament Haki around the arrowhead.

"Buzz!"

After doing this, Gunko used the power of the Devil Fruit to lock onto Xi Yan, and then launched an attack.

"Whoosh~"

The enormous arrow, several meters long, carrying terrifying kinetic energy, flew towards Xi Yan below at an incredible speed!!

Seeing this, Xi Yan did not show the slightest panic. Instead, he gave Gunko a mysterious smile.

Gunko:???

What does this mean?

"Causality Thunderstorm!" Xi Yan shouted, "Explode!"

The moment Gunko heard Xi Yan's words, a bad premonition arose in his heart.

Then she noticed that the two arrows on her body had lit up.

Upon seeing this, Gunko's pupils immediately contracted.

The next moment...

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

"Boom!!"

All the golden Long Arrow exploded at the same time, instantly severely injuring all those hit!

"Awoo!!"

The dragon struck by the Long Arrow only had time to let out a scream before being shattered into pieces by the force, ultimately transforming into a sky full of nightmare energy that scattered across the earth.

The same was true for the other Nightmare Creatures that were hit; none of them survived!

This scene completely stunned the other Nightmare Creatures.

Gunko, who was also struck by the golden Long Arrow, was destroyed by the power of the Causality Thunderstorm; his upper body was blown to pieces!

"Whoosh~"

"Boom!!"

Ultimately, her lower body and one arm fell from the sky and crashed into a pile of rubble!

Glancing at the motionless corpse, Xi Yan said, "This time you should finally die."

Just then, the Nightmare Creatures in the distance let out a shrill scream, as if they were mourning for their fallen companions.

"Um?"

Noticing this, Xi Yan stroked his chin and asked, "What's going on with these guys?"

Confused, Xi Yan quickly rushed to the top of a building and stood there to look down at the situation below.

After a moment, Xi Yan muttered, "Those Nightmare Creatures struck by the Causality Thunderstorm show no signs of reviving..."

Does this mean that those guys have already been killed by me?

"It seems that this kind of attack, which is similar to true damage, can take them down," Xi Yan murmured.

That makes dealing with these Black Creature much easier.

Thinking of this, Xi Yan's face showed a very 'kind' smile, and then he jumped down from the high place with a huge light golden longbow in his hand.

"Smash them, I'm coming!"

"What happened?! What on earth happened?!" Saint Gilm smashed a nearby boulder with his trident, exclaiming, "Why were my Nightmare Creatures killed?"

Even immortal creatures can be killed?

What the hell is that Blood-Eyed Ninja, you bastard?!

Just then, the squad leader of guards, who had been lying on the ground having a nightmare, opened his eyes and said in a somewhat confused manner, "What... what happened to me?"

How did he suddenly fall asleep on the floor?

Oh... right, I just had a terrible nightmare, thankfully...

Before he could finish his thought, a strange creature appeared in front of him.

"A ghost!"

"You bastard, you're the devil!" Saint Gilm roared angrily, "I am Saint Gilm!"

"Saint Gilm?"

The squad leader of the guards was stunned for a moment, and then the other person's image appeared in his mind.

'Just before I fell asleep, it seemed like a Celestial Dragons named Saint Gilm came by...'

By the way, that person is a Zoan Devil Fruit User!

Thinking of this, the squad leader quickly turned around, knelt on the ground, and said, "I'm sorry, sir!"

Looking at the other person's expression, Saint Gilm paused for a moment, thinking to himself, 'This guy can't be killed before I figure out what's going on.'

Thinking of this, Saint Gilm took a deep breath to calm himself down.

He then asked, "What happened to you? Why were you able to wake up?"

"What do you mean, 'Why was I able to wake up?'"

"Weren't you asleep just now?" Saint Gilm said. "Why did you suddenly wake up?"

The power of the Mythical Zoan Kirin Fruit allows a person to quickly fall asleep. If the target is an ordinary person, then it is absolutely impossible for them to wake up on their own!

Therefore, Saint Gilm couldn't understand why this guy was able to wake up.

"Oh, I think I just fell asleep," the squad leader said, rubbing his head. "But... but then I think I had a nightmare."

"Hmm... yes, I just had a nightmare too."

"Um?"

Hearing the voice from the side, Saint Gilm instinctively turned his head to look, then fell silent.

Then he murmured, "What on earth is going on?"

Why did these guards wake up one after another?

Did his Devil Fruit ability fail?

Thinking of this, Saint Gilm subconsciously glanced at the Nightmare Nest beside him.

' The Nightmare Nest seems to be working perfectly, which means it's not my ability that's malfunctioning,' Saint Gilm thought to himself.

The key to the problem might lie with that Blood-Eyed Ninja!

Recalling the golden Long Arrow he had just seen, Saint Gilm fell into deep thought.

'Could it be this force that awakened these guys?'

It's not impossible.

Then, Saint Gilm turned his gaze to the awakened guards and said, "Tell me what happened just now."

"Don't miss any details."

The bewildered guards looked at Saint Gilm upon hearing this, then their expressions turned to shock. "What the hell is this?"

Saint Gilm:...

If these guys weren't still useful, he Truth to kill these idiots.

Then, Saint Gilm turned to look at the squad leader of the guards, signaling him to explain to these idiots.

The squad leader of the guards immediately understood and told the guards about Saint Gilm's identity, which reminded them who this person was.

"I'm sorry, Saint Gilm!"

Looking at the guards kneeling on the ground, Saint Gilm rubbed his forehead with a headache, then said, "Alright, enough talk, just tell me what happened."

Upon hearing this, the guards looked at each other, then focused their attention on the squad leader.

If their leader doesn't speak, they don't dare to say anything either.

The squad leader of guards, sensing the gazes of his subordinates, paused for a moment before saying, "I inexplicably fell asleep just now, and then I started having nightmares."

"In this nightmare, an enormous flying dragon appeared."

"This dragon chased me through the forest, forcing me to flee in all directions."

"Just when I thought I was about to be eaten, a huge, pale golden Long Arrow suddenly flew in from the horizon and pinned the dragon to the mountain in the blink of an eye!"

"After that, a massive earthquake struck the world in my dream, as if the heavens and earth were about to be destroyed."

At this point, the squad leader of the guards suddenly stopped.

"And then?" Saint Gilm asked.

"And then..." the squad leader of the guards said, "And then I woke up."

After the world began to collapse, he felt some changes in his body, and then he woke up from a nightmare.

'Could it be that arrow that woke me up?' the squad leader of the guards muttered to himself.

I just don't know why I had such a strange dream.

Upon hearing this, Saint Gilm paused for a moment, then looked at the others and asked, "And you?"

"Me too," one of the guards said. "I dreamt of a large lizard that chased me for a long time in the desert."

"I was jolted awake from my nightmare only after that pale golden Long Arrow appeared."

This time, Saint Gilm didn't say much, but gestured for the others to speak as well.

Upon hearing this, those who had woken up began to recount their experiences, each telling their own dream in turn.

Although the scenes in the nightmares are all different, they have one striking similarity!

That is... everyone who woke up saw that pale golden Long Arrow!

"That pale golden Long Arrow— wasn't that the attack the Blood-Eyed Ninja just launched?" Saint Gilm, holding a fork, walked to the side and said, "I didn't expect his attack could actually shatter a nightmare."

Although he didn't know exactly how the other party did it, their abilities were indeed very effective in countering him.

Therefore... it's unlikely that relying on an immortal Nightmare Creatures to wear down the opponent's stamina will work.

After all... the opponent could kill his Nightmare Creatures with a single arrow!

"This is really annoying," said Saint Gilm, frowning.

Why did he have to run into someone like that?

Doesn't that just render your abilities useless?

At this moment, Saint Gilm was extremely displeased.

Just then, the squad leader of the guards cautiously asked, "Sir... is there anything else we can do?"

Upon hearing this, Saint Gilm paused for a moment, then thought to himself, 'I can't let these guys leave here alive, otherwise my weaknesses might be exposed!'

Upon realizing this, an intense killing intent flashed in Saint Gilm's eyes.

Turning his head to glance at the group of guards, Saint Gilm wrapped Armament Haki around his fork.

Then, without hesitation, they launched an attack on the guards.

"Die!"
