Sealing Technique!

"You despicable lowlifes, what exactly do you want?!" Gunko roared.

Not only have they been relentlessly attacking her to prevent her from Self-healing, but now they've brought her to this inexplicable place... What are these bastards trying to do?

Xi Yan's clones ignored the guy and turned to the clone squatting on the ground, asking, "How are the preparations going?"

"No problem."

The clone that had been crouching on the ground stood up, pointed at the guard lying on the ground, and said, "The Eight Trigrams Sealing Technique is ready."

Now all we need to do is activate Sealing Technique to seal this guy away.

"Will this technique really work?" one of the clones asked, frowning.

"We can't confirm whether it will work, but there's no more suitable Sealing Technique besides this," the other clone said helplessly.

After all... that's all the Sealing Technique the main body learned from Konoha!

The most effective ones are the Reaper Death Seal and the Eight Trigrams Sealing!

The Reaper Death Seal can summon the God of Death by sacrificing one's own soul, allowing the Grim Reaper to pull out and swallow the enemy's soul, thus killing the enemy.

But the problem is... his soul will be taken away with him!

The risk of this technique is too great. Even with a pair of Dojutsu that can be described as invincible, Xi Yan is not very willing to try to see if he can defeat the God of Death.

Besides... it's still uncertain whether that God of Death can cross dimensions to come here and steal souls, so Xi Yan passed on this Sealing Technique.

Therefore, the Eight Trigrams Sealing becomes the best choice!

Although this technique was mainly developed to deal with Chakra aggregates like Tailed Beast, whether it can seal people without Chakra is still unknown, but we should at least give it a try, shouldn't we!

As for why not simply pull the other person into one's body...

Stop joking. It would be extremely unwise to seal someone inside your body without knowing their situation.

Although he wouldn't die, the people around him would truly die if they were killed. Therefore, from the very beginning, these clones never intended for the main body to use its body to seal this enemy.

"Hurry up and do it, this guy heals very quickly!" said the clone maintaining the Earth Release Technique).

Why are these guys chatting like this?

Every second counts, you bastard!

Upon hearing this, the several clones who were discussing the matter immediately looked at Gunko, and then realized that they had discovered his situation.

"The limbs grew back so quickly?" one of the clones frowned.

They had been launching continuous attacks on the enemy along the way, and now they're almost recovered?

"Stop talking nonsense, just do it!"

"Good."

This time, the clones didn't waste any words. They immediately used Lightning Release and Water Release to sever the Gunko's body, and then began to activate Sealing Technique.

"Buzz~"

Thin strands of Chakra Threads, invisible to the naked eye, flew out from the Sealing Technique and pierced directly into Gunko's body, then began to pull her into the Sealing Technique!

Feeling a pulling force, Gunko immediately looked horrified and said, "Bastards, what are you trying to do?"

Just then, Gunko remembered what the other party had said before.

'seal...'

Could these guys possess some kind of Ninjutsu that could seal her abilities?

No, we can't just sit here and wait to die, we must...

"Bump!"

A fist brimming with Haki slammed into Gunko's head, smashing half of her skull apart.

Then, the clone sneered, "You'd better stay put!"

If this guy gets away, wouldn't all their efforts have been for nothing?

So... you'd better stay here obediently!

Then, the pulling force suddenly increased, lifting the Gunko into the air!

Gunko:!!!

Gunko had used his Observation Haki to see something amiss, exclaimed in horror, "Are you planning to seal me inside that?!"

Seeing the special magical artifacts on the guard with his one eye, Gunko's expression began to turn somewhat ferocious.

"That's right, that's it!" said Xi Yan's clone.

"Are you kidding me!"

Gunko roared angrily, his eyes turning red.

To seal her into the body of such a lowly person... isn't that disgusting?!

She's Celestial Dragons, a high and mighty being, how could she be sealed into the body of a lowly being?!

No, absolutely not!!

Thinking of this, Gunko began to struggle violently, trying to break free from this damned Sealing Technique.

But because her body was badly injured, she was unable to break free.

Even if she used the power of the Arrow Fruit, these clones would restrain her with Ninjutsu, making it impossible for them to rescue her.

'It's over...'

As the Sealing Technique drew ever closer, Gunko knew he couldn't escape from here.

Just then, a lot of black smoke began to rise from Gunko's body, making it look like he was about to transform.

At the same time... the black substance surging around her body increased!

Upon seeing this, a strange light appeared in the eyes of the clones.

What's going on here?

Is this guy about to transform?

After exchanging glances, the clones immediately reached a consensus!

'We can't give this thing a chance to transform; we must seal her away immediately!'

Thinking of this, the clones immediately sprang into action, activating the Eight Trigrams Sealing together.

"Give it your all, get this guy into the Sealing Technique!!"

"Profound!!"

"Buzz!"

The power of the Eight Trigrams Sealing suddenly increased, directly pulling Gunko had not yet transformed, into the Eight Trigrams Sealing!

"Pfft~"

Watching the black smoke gradually dissipate, the clones wiped non-existent sweat from their foreheads and said, "Thank goodness, she didn't successfully transform."

Although I don't know what's going on with this guy, it's best not to give him the chance to transform, otherwise I might be the one who suffers.

"I didn't expect it to actually work."

One of the clones stroked its chin and said, "Is it because of that dark substance on this guy?"

Upon hearing this, the other clones were all stunned for a moment, and then revealed a thoughtful expression.

"This woman is indeed using that black substance to restore her body," one of the clones said.

"It seems that's really the case."

"So... this woman might be composed of this black substance?" the clone beside him speculated. "And this black substance is an energy body, which is why it could be sealed by the Eight Trigrams Sealing?"

"It's not impossible."

The clones thought about it for a moment and felt that this feeling was extremely strong.

After all, the Eight Trigrams Sealing is specifically designed to seal energy aggregates like Tailed Beast, so the possibility that the opponent is some kind of special energy entity is very high.

Then, the clones glanced at the guard lying motionless on the ground and said, "What should we do with this guy?"

If we just leave him here, he might get killed.

"Of course, we need to get him to a safe place," the clone said. "Otherwise, all our efforts might be in vain."

You mean...?

"Hmm." The clone nodded and said, "That Arrow Woman possesses Super Regeneration that grants her immortality, so even if the container dies, she might not necessarily die."

Conversely, if the container dies, this guy might actually revive and rush out again—who knows?

To avoid this from happening, it's best to take this guy to a safe place.

"That's true."

The clone responsible for maintaining the Earth Release Technique stood up and said, "Leave this guy to me. I'll take him to a safe place."

He observed many places before he arrived and knew which areas were relatively safe.

"Good!"

After watching the other person leave, the others exchanged glances, then turned their attention to the spot where Saint Gilm just flown off to.

"Should we seal that guy away too?" one of the clones asked.

Even though that guy is completely broken, there's still a chance he can get back up!

So he wondered if he should take the other party down first.

The other clones thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go take a look."

"If we can find him, we'll seal him away too, to prevent him from escaping and releasing that Black Creature again."

"That makes sense!"

"Oh, right, I should also grab a guard while I'm at it."

"Clear!"

Soon, the clones left the area and quickly ran off into the distance.

However, just as they were about to leave, one of the clones glanced back in the direction of Pangea Castle and muttered, "Why do I have this feeling of being targeted by a venomous snake?!"

Is it just my imagination?

Seeing that there was nothing wrong, the clone turned and left.

And at the Pangea Castle he had just been gazing at, a woman was now standing on its summit, looking with a surprised expression in the direction the group had left.

"He actually severed my communication with Gunko..." Im frowned slightly and said, "How did this guy manage to do that?"

Although she can now sense Gunko's life state through the contract, she cannot establish communication with him through the contract, nor can she use his body to descend...

What exactly happened?

After recalling what he had just seen through Gunko's perspective, Im murmured, "Sealing Technique..."

Wow, such amazing abilities exist in this world!

At this moment, Im became somewhat interested in Xi Yan's abilities.

As for Gunko?

Since this guy isn't going to die anyway, Im didn't pay too much attention to it.

As for that Sealing Technique...

Im thought for a moment, then murmured, "Although I don't know what that Sealing Technique is all about, if we destroy the vessel that Sealing Technique... could we rescue the person?"

With that in mind, Im locked his Observation Haki onto the clone carrying Gunko.

After 'seeing' the other party place the guard on the ground, Im said, "Let's use Gunko as an experiment."

If killing the vessel of the Sealing Technique can save the person, then she has found a way to deal with this man's Sealing Technique.

If not... then consider it a wasted piece, since she can't think of a better solution right now.

As for Saint Gilm?

The little guy she liked had already been rescued by the people she had sent out beforehand, so she wasn't worried about him being caught by the Blood-Eyed Ninja's clone.

After a moment's thought, Im contacted Saint Somaz and gave him his orders.

"Um?"

Saint Somaz, who received Im-sama's order, was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his temples with a headache.

'Let me do it...'

He's not that cold-blooded, ruthless guy, Gunko!

If killing that guard still can't save Gunko... then it's equivalent to him killing him!!

But he couldn't disobey Im-sama's orders, so...

"I'm sorry, Gunko," Saint Somaz said helplessly.

This... is all Im-sama's order!

As a member of the God's Knights, he had no way to disobey orders!

So... all he could say was sorry.

"What are you saying?!" said Saint Gilm, who was being dragged along. "Open it for me right now!"

He is currently restrained by Seastone Handcuffs, making it impossible for him to heal his wounds quickly.

"I'd like to unlock it for you, but the problem is I don't have the key," Saint Somaz said helplessly.

His Devil Fruit ability wasn't the type that could unlock handcuffs, so he couldn't help Saint Gilm.

Saint Gilm:...

The man opened his mouth, then closed his eyes, looking somewhat annoyed.

'What kind of nonsense is this...'

If he had known things would turn out this way, he wouldn't have rushed out to attack the Blood-Eyed Ninja. Wouldn't it have been better to stay in the back and use the Nightmare Creatures to launch the attack?

Even if the Blood-Eyed Ninja's abilities counter him and can wake those sleeping people from a distance, it doesn't matter, since he can continue to hypnotize those guys, right?

Thinking of this, Saint Gilm sighed silently.

Just then, Saint Gilm, who was being dragged by Saint Somaz, was thrown to the ground, making him grimace in pain.

"What is it now?" Saint Gilm asked, annoyed.

Dragging him along was one thing, but now they've just thrown him to the ground... What's going on here?

Could it be that this old man is planning to settle a personal score while on official business?

Thinking of this, Saint Gilm's eyes turned hostile.

"We have guests," said Saint Somaz, who was staring ahead.

Saint Gilm:???

What? We have guests?

Filled with doubt, Saint Gilm subconsciously looked up ahead, then fell silent.

Because he spotted several Blood-Eyed Ninja ahead!

'How can we chase after them and kill them?!'

Seeing those familiar faces, Saint Gilm felt a headache coming on.

He's already like this, why won't you let him go?

Do you really have to kill him before you're satisfied, you bastard?!

Saint Gilm was furious.

After glancing at the Saint Gilm who had been thrown to the ground by Saint Somaz, Xi Yan's clone focused his gaze on Saint Somaz.

Then he said, "Hey, you old man in slippers, where are you planning to take our prey?!"

"Of course we'll take him for treatment," Saint Somaz said, squinting.

As he spoke, Saint Somaz glanced at the people in front of him, pondered for a moment, and then judged that these people should be clones of the Blood-Eyed Ninja.

After recalling the information about the Blood-Eyed Ninja Clone, Saint Somaz relaxed considerably.

At least the clones aren't immortal!

"Take him for treatment?" Xi Yan shook his head and said, "That won't do."

He was planning to seal this guy who ate the Kirin Fruit away, how could he let this guy take the person away?

Just then, Xi Yan noticed the special symbol on Saint Somaz's arm.

"Um?"

This is...

If I remember correctly, both the Arrow Woman and the Kirin Man have this symbol on their arms, so... is this slipper-wearing uncle also an immortal being?

Thinking of this, Xi Yan's eyes became wary.

'What kind of ability user is this guy?'

The other clones also noticed Saint Somaz's special abilities, and their eyes all became wary.

Seeing the wariness of these clones, Saint Somaz shook his head, his expression turning somewhat helpless.

Then, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he looked up and stared intently at the several clones in front of him!

Upon seeing this, the clones immediately tensed up.

Although they were not afraid of death as clones, they at least had to get their hands on the information about the guy in front of them before they died!

Just then, Saint Somaz spoke.

"Blood-Eyed Ninja," Saint Somaz said solemnly, "Do you... believe in love?"

Xi Yan:???
