This sword aura, carrying an overwhelming destructive force, collided head-on with the Ryuma's strike.
There was no suspense whatsoever.
Ryuma's prized swordsmanship was instantly crushed like paper the moment it came into contact with the pressure sword energy.
"What?!" Ryuma exclaimed in shock.
The sword energy, still powerful, pierced straight through the center of Ryuma's body.
"Snap!"
Ryuma's shriveled zombie body was cleaved in two with a single strike, completely dismembered. The powerful wind pressure even shredded his mangled body, turning it into countless fragments.
The entire room fell silent.
The little zombies hiding in the shadows nearly popped their eyes out, trembling violently with fear.
"One... one cut?"
"Lord Ryuma was killed in one strike! Monster! Run!"
The little zombies screamed and scattered in all directions.
As the zombie's body completely collapsed, a dark shadow broke free from the debris, soaring into the sky like a bird released from its cage, flying away into the distance.
On the other side of the fog, on a dilapidated pirate ship.
Brook, now just a skeleton, was wandering aimlessly when suddenly his body jolted violently.
The dark shadow landed precisely at his feet, perfectly merging back into his body.
Brook stood frozen in place, feeling the shadow return to his body, his whole body trembling with excitement.
"My shadow... my shadow has returned!"
Brook wept with joy, tears streaming down her face from her empty eye sockets.
" Ryuma has been defeated! Someone incredibly powerful must have intervened to save me! Hehehehe! Thank you so much!"
In the forest, Uchiha Xin casually hung the Black Blade Yoru back on his waist.
He stopped and calmly looked at the empty space ten meters to his right.
"Stop hiding."
Uchiha Xin's tone was laced with undisguised sarcasm.
"Your stench, a mixture of wild beast and rotting flesh, could make people vomit from ten miles away."
In the open space, Absalom, who was in stealth mode, suddenly froze, his face filled with horror.
"How is that possible!"
Absalom roared inwardly.
"My Clear-Clear Fruit ability can perfectly conceal even my aura, how could he possibly see my location! It's definitely a bluff!"
Seeing that the other party refused to show himself, Uchiha Xin sneered and continued to fire mercilessly.
"Not only does it smell awful, but it looks disgusting too."
"It has a lion's jaw stitched up, an elephant's skin transplanted, and the muscles of a bear."
"To transform yourself into this grotesque, hideous monster, you really are the worst kind of trash."
These words were like the sharpest dagger, piercing Absalom's most sensitive sore spot with pinpoint accuracy.
He had always been proud of his modified body, but now it was being belittled to the point of being worthless.
"You bastard! You're asking for it!"
Absalom was completely enraged and lost all reason.
Taking advantage of his invisibility, he raised the rocket launchers hidden on his arms and launched a sneak attack on Uchiha Xin's back.
"Go to hell!"
However, under the newly acquired Observation Haki perception of Uchiha Xin,
Absalom's every move, even the contraction of his muscles, was as clear as the lines on the palm of one's hand.
Uchiha Xin didn't even turn his head; he simply flicked his right hand behind him, fingers pointing like a sword.
"Boom!"
A sharp, pressure-filled sword aura instantly shot out.
"Bang!"
Just as Absalom was about to pull the trigger, he felt as if a mountain had struck his chest head-on.
His once-proud, beastly muscles caved in instantly, and his sternum snapped.
The power of the Clear-Clear Fruit instantly dissipated, Absalom's massive body coughed up a mouthful of blood mid-air.
He flew backwards for dozens of meters like a tattered sack, crashing heavily through three large trees behind him, and lay dead in the ruins, his fate unknown, on the verge of death.
Just as Absalom was instantly killed.
" Negative Hollow!"
Four translucent white ghosts emerged from the ground without warning, emitting eerie laughter, and pounced straight at Uchiha Xin.
On a distant castle tower, Perona held up a parasol, watching this scene with a smug look on her face.
"Hehehehehe! No matter how strong you are, once my Negative Hollow passes through your body, you will instantly lose all will to live and become a piece of trash!"
Facing the approaching ghost, Uchiha Xin snorted coldly.
"Using this kind of spiritual entity to fight me?"
He possesses Body of the Extreme Path, and his spiritual power has long been incredibly strong.
Uchiha Xin didn't try to dodge at all; his gaze remained focused.
An extremely violent mental shock erupted from him.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The four Negative Hollow, which were said to be able to ignore physical defenses, burst like balloons the moment they came into contact with this mental impact, turning into wisps of white smoke and dissipating.
"What?!"
Perona, on the tower, was horrified.
Before she could react, Uchiha Xin's powerful mental attack...
Following the shattered connection of the ghost, it traversed space and struck Perona's consciousness in reverse.
"Ah--!"
Perona let out a piercing scream.
Her consciousness, which was originally in an out-of-body state, was forcibly shaken back to her body by this terrifying force.
Inside the room, Perona's true form was struck as if by lightning, and fell straight to the ground.
Her eyes were filled with undisguised fear; her body was stiff, and her mind was blank.
Having completely lost control of his body, he was temporarily immobilized in place.
After instantly eliminating the three main forces, the area surrounding the Thriller Bark fell into complete silence.
Just then...
Hehehehehe! Hehehehehe!
A burst of extremely shrill and bizarre laughter suddenly rang out from the depths of the forest.
Accompanied by heavy footsteps, a massive figure, resembling a mountain of flesh, with demonic horns, slowly emerged from the shadows.
He is none other than Gecko Moria, one of the Shichibukai.
Beside him stood the brilliant surgeon Hogback, his face covered in cold sweat, who was acting like a bully.
Moria looked down at Uchiha Xin, his massive body radiating an intense sense of oppression.
"Hehehehe! What a rude guest. Not only did he destroy my zombie, but he also injured my subordinates."
Moria spoke arrogantly, with undisguised mockery and ridicule.
"However, your skills are quite good."
If I cut out your shadow and stuff it into Oars's body, I can definitely create the strongest zombie in the world!
Hehehehe--"
The piercing laughter echoed through the forest, like fingernails scraping across a blackboard, sending chills down one's spine.
Uchiha Xin frowned deeply, his face revealing undisguised extreme disgust.
"Shut up."
Uchiha Xin coldly stared at Moria and directly stopped him.
"Your laughter is absolutely awful, it's so disgusting it makes me want to tear your fat mouth apart."
