After three hours of probing exchanges, Rimoku Uchiha's expression settled into calm.
"You're strong!"
"Even in the Shinobi World, you'd be a very powerful Kage-level fighter."
"You might even be at the Six Paths level."
"But... the opponent you're facing is no weakling either!"
As Rimoku Uchiha finished speaking, his scarlet Sharingan activated in an instant.
At the same time, Three-Tails Dusa's chakra began surging wildly outward.
Faced with this terrifying eruption of chakra, Aokiji-Kuzan's expression grew somewhat grave.
Even the intensity of their earlier battle had already been difficult for Kuzan to handle.
Now, the energy emanating from his opponent had grown even stronger.
Where on earth did these people come from?!
"Glacial Blade Break!"
Kuzan plunged both hands straight into the frozen sea.
The ice, nearly ten meters thick, began shattering rapidly.
At the same time, enormous blades of ice kept rising and swirling through the air.
"Your name wasn't actually on my kill list."
"You might just be a seafarer who recently set sail, hoping to make a name for yourself."
"But now, I've decided to kill you."
As Kuzan spoke, the icy mist around him grew denser.
Now, anyone whose strength fell even a little short wasn't qualified to watch the battle.
Let alone intervene.
"It's a little cold!"
"Rinboku, is this our opponent this time?!"
Suddenly, a low, muffled voice rang out.
The ice on the ground slowly began breaking down into tiny granules.
Soon, those granules gathered into a three-tailed monster that coiled around Rimoku Uchiha.
"That's right."
"He's a very powerful opponent!"
"Let's do this!"
Rimoku Uchiha immediately formed hand seals after speaking.
Three-Tails Dusa formed hand seals alongside him.
A terrifying clash erupted.
Meanwhile, aboard the pirate ship.
"It probably won't be that easy for Rinboku to defeat his opponent."
