Three-Way Pursuit

Oak finally gained a comprehensive understanding of Ochoku's abilities from Ochoku's clone. Looking at the clone on the ground,

"So as long as I kill this guy now, Ochoku will be weakened for at least half a year?"

Stroking his chin, he thought about it, but he had no intention of doing so. What he wanted was not to leave Ochoku weakened, but to kill him.

As for how to kill Ochoku's true body, he already had a plan.

The clone on the ground had been created using half of Ochoku's blood. Not only was it closely connected to Ochoku, but it also possessed a portion of his soul.

By turning the clone into his own "Blood Servant," he had effectively gained control over part of Ochoku's soul. Through the connection between that fragment of soul and the true body, he could easily pinpoint Ochoku's direction and location.

That made things much easier!

Thinking this, he immediately said to Newgate and the others,

"I'll handle this guy. I'll find Ochoku myself and kill him..."

"As for you, leave Hachinosu first!"

As he spoke, Oak looked behind him, toward the direction where he had just fought Garp and Sengoku. His Observation Haki sensed that Garling was still there, while Garp and Sengoku's presences were steadily drawing closer.

"There are also members of the World Government's God's Knights on this island. If you stay here, it might end up like God Valley last time..."

Oak did not spell it out, but Newgate and the others all understood what he meant.

Since there were God's Knights on the island, the monster that had controlled Rocks last time might descend at any moment. If they remained here, they would be in considerable danger.

With that in mind, Shiki did not hesitate in the slightest.
