Hell Viewing Technique, the Creature That Terrified Perona!

"Sanji, are you alright?"

Luffy looked at Sanji with concern, who had lost his dream, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort him.

"Asshole!!"

Sanji suddenly regained his energy and glared fiercely at Absalom, saying, "You bastard, why did you eat my Transparent Fruit?!"

Ever since he saw the Devil Fruit Illustrated Handbook when he was a child, he was determined to find and eat that Devil Fruit.

Before he could even find it, he was eaten by this toy that didn't look human. Sanji was furious.

He wished he could kick the guy in front of him to death right now.

Absalom:...

What does "his Transparent Fruit" mean? What the hell is the other party talking about?

This Devil Fruit was stolen from someone by Lord Moria, who then gave it to him specifically to satisfy his voyeuristic... cough, to fulfill his wish.

Now this bastard is actually claiming that the Devil Fruit is his?

How is that possible!

"Xi Yan, let go of this guy, I'm going to kick him to death!!"

"That won't do."

Why?

"Don't be fooled by the fact that I've got this guy stuck on the ground. Once I let him go, he'll definitely choose to become invisible to save his life," Xi Yan explained. "I can see him, but you can't."

Sanji's breath hitched upon hearing this, then he nodded and said, "Yeah, you're right."

Although Sanji also wanted to kick this guy right now, his pride wouldn't allow him to bully someone who couldn't fight back.

After lighting a cigarette, Sanji tried his best to calm himself down.

"Damn it, I can't calm down, you bastard!!"

Sanji's body turned red with anger, as if he were about to burst into flames, causing Absalom's pupils to shrink.

"Hey, is this guy about to transform?!" Absalom exclaimed in horror.

"Oh?"

"You can speak so quickly?"

Xi Yan looked at Absalom with some surprise, even though he had deliberately controlled the amount of Chakra this time in order to keep him alive to ask some questions.

But the fact that this guy could speak so quickly shows he's quite physically strong.

"My body has been modified, and my abilities in all aspects are extremely strong. There's nothing surprising about my rapid recovery," Absalom said. "What's wrong with you?"

"You can see me, and you can even unleash lightning?"

Absalom couldn't understand what kind of Devil Fruit power this was.

"Because I'm Ninja."

"Ninja?"

Absalom paused, realizing that word... had he just heard those three little zombies say it?

It seems Lord Moria used this word, and he sounded very angry. Could it be that I have a grudge against Lord Moria?

Thinking of this, Absalom lowered his head, his mind starting to race.

"What should we do with this guy?" Zoro asked. "He looks like he's a resident of the island."

"This is a source of intelligence delivered right to our doorstep," Franky grinned.

"That's true, then..."

Before they could finish speaking, they noticed several ghosts appearing there, dancing back and forth in the air.

"Negative~"

"Negative~"

"Negative~"

"A ghost! Hey!" Luffy suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "Look everyone, a ghost!"

"And four of them came at once!"

Luffy was incredibly excited. He thought these guys had come back specifically to find him, just so he could take care of them.

From his perspective, it's like this: they brought their families along, if not so he could support them, then what?

"Why is it this thing again?" Zoro frowned.

"Something's not right." Xi Yan looked warily up at the sky and said, "This ghost might be some kind of special Devil Fruit ability."

Even if there are ghosts, it's unlikely that four identical ones would appear at once.

Xi Yan's intuition told him that there was definitely something wrong with this thing.

"Perona ..."

Upon sensing the ghost's arrival, Absalom's eyes immediately lit up with excitement. If this ghost intervened, he would definitely be saved!

"Perona, help me!"

"Oh?"

"Looks like you know this guy," Xi Yan grinned. "Then you'd better explain yourself to me properly later."

Absalom ignored Xi Yan and instead stared up at the few Negative Ghost, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Damn it, that bastard."

Perona, hiding in her boudoir, immediately gave a look of disgust.

Clearly, she didn't like Absalom, but since they were partners, she couldn't just stand by and watch Absalom be killed, so she had to intervene.

"I'm in a pretty good mood today, so I'll save your life."

"Hala hala hala~"

Perona's laughter, delivered precisely through the Negative Ghost, reached Absalom's ears, which relieved him.

The fact that the other person didn't leave immediately proves that they were willing to save her.

"Watch me catch them!" Luffy suddenly swung his arm, forcefully sending it flying, and shouted, "Gum-Gum Grappling Gun!"

"Whoosh~"

The trap, which looked like an insect catcher, flew towards the ghost with a whoosh.

Unfortunately, the ghost moves very fast and Luffy so easily.

"Damn, it's so agile!"

"Luffy, you idiot, don't touch ghosts so easily!" Xi Yan said, "Who knows what kind of ability that is?"

If the other person keeps repeating negative words, then their abilities may be related to their emotions.

Of course, it's also possible that this is just Smoke Screen, and the real purpose might be to touch their souls.

"But I want to catch them..."

"Shut up, let me try first."

After Xi Yan finished speaking, he summoned a Shadow Clone, intending to use it to test the Shadow Clone.

"Yes, Xi Yan has clones!" Franky said.

It must be said that Xi Yan's clones are incredibly useful; they can be used to fight enemies or to gather intelligence.

Even if they are killed, the loss won't be significant. Xi Yan can even use this to challenge Marine Admiral!

Franky and Zoro exchanged a glance, then separated, forming an encirclement, their eyes fixed on the ghost high above.

"A clone?!"

Absalom and Perona both showed expressions of shock; it was the first time they had ever seen Ninja could use the ability to create clones.

At this moment, Xi Yan's Shadow Clone rushed to the higher ground, drew the long sword from his waist, and slashed.

"Whoosh~"

The longsword sliced through the air, but there was no sensation of it touching anything solid.

"It's ineffective?" the clone asked in surprise.

Could it be that it's also Elementalization like Marine Admiral?

Just then, a ghost suddenly rushed over and passed right through the Shadow Clone that was unable to gain any leverage in mid-air.

"Forehead..."

The Shadow Clone's expression underwent a startling change, transforming from its previous high spirits to utter dejection.

The weapon in his hand fell into the sea, while he himself landed on the deck, kneeling and trembling.

"What kind of Ninja am I anyway? I'm not even as good as a caterpillar..."

Xi Yan:???

"Hello?!"

Before Xi Yan could say anything more, the Shadow Clone not far away vanished with a bang.

Upon receiving the clone's memories, Xi Yan's face turned green.

"Hala hala hala~"

Perona, who witnessed this scene using her abilities, simply laughed. "Is this all there is to Ninja?"

It doesn't seem that great.

Even Ninja have to submit to his Devil Fruit power!

Absalom breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed Perona's abilities were quite effective, and he was saved this time.

"What happened? What's with that clone of yours?" Zoro asked, dumbfounded.

Why did you suddenly become so negative, as if you had suffered an incredibly terrible blow?

Before Xi Yan could explain, Luffy and Franky rushed forward.

"Rubber Pistol!"

"Powerful right hand!"

"Whoosh~"

"Whoosh~"

"Bump!"

"Bump!"

With two muffled thuds, two more figures lay on the ground.

"I'm not superb at all this week, I'm not even as good as a paramecium..."

"Why would I want to be the Pirate King? I'd rather be a salted fish..."

Xi Yan:...

Zoro:???

"Hello!"

"What the hell are you guys playing?!"

"Hala hala hala~"

Perona's laughter came from the air, like a child's prank had succeeded, filling her with immense joy.

The next moment, a ghost rushed towards Xi Yan.

"Cut."

Xi Yan spat and quickly distanced himself, afraid of being touched by this rascal.

The memories brought back by the Shadow Clone were very clear. This thing couldn't attack him, but it could make him extremely negative, and even directly render him unable to fight!

He didn't want to be touched again; it was too embarrassing!

"Negative!"

"Negative!"

"Negative!"

"This thing is really strange." Xi Yan said warily, looking at the sky. "The moment it touches a person, it strips away all their fighting spirit, making them extremely negative."

"Ah, I can see it now."

Nico Robin pointed to the two guys lying on the ground and said, "Very straightforward."

"Those two idiots," Zoro cursed.

Xi Yan has already used his Shadow Clone to test the waters, doesn't he understand what's going on?

He actually rushed up again, and he didn't know what to say.

Luffy is one thing, but why is Franky joining in this nonsense too?

"Hahaha, well done!"

Absalom yanked the weapon out of his body, tossed it aside, and said, "I'm finally saved!"

"You idiot!"

A ghost approached Absalom and said in an annoyed tone, "Do you know that doing this will expose me?"

Since the other party wasn't sure she was Devil Fruit User, they could have easily used that to their advantage, subtly intimidating them and gradually leading them into a trap.

But Absalom's shout exposed her completely!

"What does it matter? They can't stop your negative abilities anyway." Absalom grinned. "Besides, if you don't take care of me, I might die here."

As he spoke, Absalom covered his wound, which had just been pierced and was still bleeding.

After the muscles began to contract and forcefully close the wound, Absalom said, "I'll go treat myself first; you can handle this."

After saying that, Absalom activated the power of the Transparent Fruit without hesitation, erasing his own existence and turning to run to the side.

There's a ship there that he's made transparent; just get on it and you can escape!

"Trying to leave?"

"Stop him, Perona!" Absalom shouted.

He didn't want to be impaled on the ground again; that feeling was too painful!

"I know, it's so annoying!" Perona said irritably.

Although he was very annoyed with Absalom, he still manipulated four ghosts to step forward and block Xi Yan's path.

This time, however, the situation is completely different from before.

Look me in the eyes.

"Um?"

Upon hearing Xi Yan's words, Perona instinctively looked over, and then noticed that pair of blood-red eyes gradually magnified in her vision.

Looking at the several ghosts that had stopped moving, Xi Yan's lips curled up and he said, "It seems that Illusion still works."

While physical attacks are ineffective, mental attacks like Illusion are still quite useful.

After glancing at Absalom, who had already climbed to the side of the boat, Xi Yan quickly moved, intending to take him down first.

But as soon as Xi Yan made a move, Perona screamed in agony.

"Ah!!!"

A scream came from among the ghosts, like a little girl discovering something incredibly terrifying.

The screams were so horrible they made your eyelids twitch.

"Don't come any closer!"

"Giant Cockroach!!"

"A... Giant Cockroach?"

These three words almost made Xi Yan stumble and fall to the ground; his movements became somewhat unsteady.

The Illusion he used this time was the Hell Viewing Technique, which allows the enemy to see their greatest fear, and it turned out the enemy was afraid of Giant Cockroach?

Big cockroach?!!

Having cast Illusion so many times, this is the most outrageous one yet. Could it be that the other side really is just a little kid?

"Don't come any closer!!"

Perona screamed, and the Little Ghost quickly ran away into the distance, as if some terrifying thing was chasing them.

Please, please stop chasing me!

Perona ran and cried all the way, her crying was truly pitiful.

"Giant Cockroach?"

Absalom, back on the small boat, was visibly taken aback for a moment, then said speechlessly, "What a little brat."

"Yeah, I think so too."

"Right? This guy's just a child who'll never grow up..."

Before Absalom could finish speaking, he realized the voice was coming from behind him, which immediately made him look terrified.

He recognized that familiar voice; it belonged to the man who had just plunged his sword into the ground!

Damn it, Perona's scared away now. If she gets caught again, no one can save him!

Damn it, why is the opponent's ability working on Perona?!

Enraged, Absalom immediately deactivated his stealth, pulled out his Hand Cannon, and prepared to use his strongest firepower to blow the bastard behind him to smithereens!

"You bastard, die!"

"Boom!"

A cannonball flew out, blasting the seawater apart, but it didn't even touch Xi Yan.

As he watched the enemy disappear from sight, Absalom broke out in a cold sweat.

Could it be...?

"Let's beat you half to death first to make you behave."

Xi Yan's voice came from behind Absalom, his tone very calm, but to Absalom it sounded like a demon's death knell!

This made Absalom's face turn extremely ugly, and cold sweat instantly poured down his back.

However, before Xi Yan could make a move, Sanji, whose body seemed to be burning with flames of anger, jumped off the ship.

"Xi Yan, let me do it!"

"Diable Jambe!"

"Anger - Iron Plate Red Braise!!"

Enraged to the extreme, Sanji kicked Absalom hard in the back. The terrifying force and intense heat caused Absalom to scream in agony.

"Ah!!"

"It's so hot!!!"

This was a furious blow that dented the opponent's muscles, even partially cooking their flesh!

He spat out a mouthful of blood, and Absalom's eyes began to gradually turn white.

Like a cannonball, Absalom flew out and crashed heavily into the distant forest.

"Boom!!"

The immense force smashed a huge crater into the ground!

Absalom, lying in the middle, rolled his Byakugan and lost consciousness.

This sudden turn of events immediately startled the surrounding zombie trees, causing many to jump up and fly far away.

After realizing there was no movement around them, they cautiously approached.

"This is... Lord Absalom?"

"Oh no, Absalom has been knocked unconscious."

The zombies looked on incredulously. This person was incredibly powerful; how could he have been knocked unconscious?

Just how terrifying is this enemy?
