Only, those being attacked were all Devil Fruit Users.
"Ah! Where did you people come from? Don't you know we have backing?"
"If you take one more step, all hell will break loose!"
But no matter how they roared, the shikigami remained unmoved.
Shadows blotted out the sky, charging straight into the heart of the battlefield with formidable martial prowess.
Those people did not hold out long before they were slaughtered.
The onlookers were even more stunned, terrified to the extreme.
They had never expected to witness such a bizarre battle between ability users.
Scenes like this played out everywhere.
"Something's wrong. Are these monsters Devil Fruit Users?"
"But if they aren't, why can they use both Devil Fruit powers and Haki?"
"What kind of joke is this?"
Some of the more powerful ability users fought desperately against the attacks, managing to avoid being killed in return.
But what made them cry out in shock was that these shikigami were not merely formidable hand-to-hand fighters.
They could even use Haki.
It was simply absurd. They were overwhelmingly strong.
Bang! Bang!
After a burst of flames, even their corpses were swallowed by shadows.
Only the shikigami's icy voice remained.
"Next?"
That was indeed the case.
After Roy grew stronger by integrating the Shadow-Shadow Fruit's power, he had all his shikigami train in Haki.
After all, in the pirate world, no matter how physically strong one was, Haki ultimately reigned supreme.
Even some turtles in the original story could train in Haki.
So what was wrong with his shikigami learning it?
These shikigami were already quite strong, so after a few days of training, learning Haki was easy for them.
Every one of them had dual Haki.
The strongest among them now was Shadow General.
He was infinitely close to Admiral-level combat
