Usopp looked up and his face turned completely pale.
"Can Haki turn into a hand?"
"What kind of monster is this?!"
Chopper's teeth were chattering.
" Usopp, when will your eight thousand men arrive?"
"They... they're on holiday today!"
Usopp answered, forcing himself to be brave.
Uchiha Xin's King's Haki dissipated.
The giant purple-gold hand then vanished.
He was fairly satisfied with the promotion.
The combined Haki directly inherited the essence of Advanced Armament Haki, and did not drop in level due to the unification of the three colors.
The perception of Observation Haki is also fully preserved.
With the addition of his King's Haki, which can manifest as a physical attack, his overall combat strength has increased once again.
Although the Conqueror's Haki provided by Luffy was weak, it played the most crucial role.
Uchiha Xin looked at Usopp.
"Take good care of the three of them."
Usopp paused for a moment.
You're not going to kill us?
"You are not worthy of my hands."
Uchiha Xin turned around.
Whether they survive or not depends on their own luck.
Usopp wasn't angry about that remark.
Seeing Uchiha Xin walk away, he collapsed onto the deck.
"He survived..."
Chopper quickly picked up the first-aid kit.
"Save them first!"
" Zoro and Sanji, and Luffy needs to be checked immediately!"
The two of them hurriedly dragged Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji together.
Uchiha Xin didn't look at them again.
He took a step forward, and space opened up in front of him.
A flash of purple-gold light.
The next moment, he appeared in the Alabasta Royal Palace.
Vivi had already changed her clothes and was waiting in the palace square.
Several neatly packed boxes were placed beside her.
Cobra, Chaka, and Pell are all there.
Upon seeing Uchiha Xin appear out of thin air, Vivi immediately went over to him.
"You're back."
"Um."
Uchiha Xin glanced at the box on the ground.
"Is everything ready?"
"It's ready."
Vivi nodded.
She turned to look at Cobra.
"Father, I'm leaving."
Cobra opened his mouth, but in the end only sighed.
"Take good care of yourself."
I'll come back to visit when I have the chance.
Vivi's eyes reddened, but she didn't change her mind.
"I will."
Both Chaka and Pell bowed simultaneously.
"Respectfully bidding farewell to Princess Vivi."
Uchiha Xin raised his hand.
Several boxes were stored away.
He put his arm around Vivi's waist, and the Divine Transference was activated.
A purple-gold light enveloped the two of them.
The space in the palace square distorted, and they vanished instantly.
The main hall of the Divine Palace.
Perona was floating in mid-air, holding a parasol.
Nami sat to the side, taking stock of her belongings.
Tashigi, meanwhile, held a Haki training notebook and looked down at it.
When the spatial fluctuations occurred, all three looked up simultaneously.
Uchiha Xin landed in the center of the main hall with Vivi.
This Vivi's first time visiting the Divine Palace.
She looked at the golden pillars and towering dome around her, and remained silent for a moment.
Nami immediately came to greet her.
" Vivi?"
"Why are you here too?"
Vivi recognized her.
Nami?
So you were here all along!
Perona's face darkened as she looked at Uchiha Xin's hand around Vivi's waist.
"Snort!"
A cold snort echoed throughout the main hall.
Uchiha Xin turned to look at her.
Perona was about to speak when she immediately recalled her experience of being forced to beg for mercy in the combat space a few days ago.
Her body trembled.
The words that were on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down.
Perona landed on the ground, folded her parasol, and stood obediently to the side.
"I didn't say anything."
Uchiha Xin ignored her.
Robin came from the side hall.
She held the organized rubbings in her hand.
"Grown ups."
"I have finished deciphering the two Poneglyph you brought back."
Vivi looked at Robin and recognized him as the vice president of Baroque Works.
She instinctively became more alert.
Robin spoke up first.
" Baroque Works has been destroyed."
"I am now Uchiha Lord Xin's subordinate."
Vivi finally relaxed.
Uchiha Xin asked:
What is written on the stone tablet?
One of them records part of the history of the Alabasta royal family.
Robin placed the documents on the table.
"The other piece contains crucial information about the Ancient Weapon Pluton."
When Pluton was mentioned, Robin's tone became much more serious.
According to the text, Pluton was an ancient warship possessing destructive power.
"A single attack from it could destroy the entire island."
" Crocodile's scheme to seize Alabasta is all he really wants."
"Controlling Pluton is enough to change the entire landscape of the ocean."
Nami stopped counting the valuables.
Tashigi also put down her notebook.
Vivi then looked at Uchiha Xin.
She had already learned the secret of the royal family's protection from Cobra.
Everyone was waiting for Uchiha Xin's reaction.
Uchiha Xin didn't pick up the documents on the table.
"Knew."
"Arrange accommodation for Vivi first."
Robin was somewhat surprised.
"My lord, you don't intend to search for Pluton?"
"Not interested."
Uchiha Xin answered casually.
"The idea of destroying an island with a single shot is only good for scaring ordinary people on this vast ocean."
"Before my Divine Palace, Pluton is utterly insignificant."
Robin's hand stopped on the documents.
She has studied history for many years and is well aware of the significance of Ancient Weapon.
The World Government classifies information about Ancient Weapon as top secret.
Crocodile had been planning this for many years.
But in Uchiha Xin's words, Pluton became something insignificant.
She looked around.
What power does this palace, suspended high in the sky, conceal?
Perona noticed her confusion.
Don't think of Pluton as too powerful.
" The Divine Palace itself is a war fortress."
"The master installed a super-powerful weapon here."
"Once activated, a single strike could destroy the entire island."
She paused for a moment, then added:
"If we launch at full power, we could even bombard the moon."
Robin looked at Uchiha Xin.
Uchiha Xin did not deny it.
She then knew that Perona was not exaggerating.
This man never relies on bluffing to elevate himself.
His statement that Pluton was insignificant implies that the Divine Palace truly possesses power surpassing that of the Ancient Weapon.
The weapon mounted on the Divine Palace was modified by Uchiha Xin, based on the Chakra Cannon of Kumogakure.
It can concentrate and compress enormous amounts of energy, then launch it all at once.
Destroying an island is only the minimum level of power, provided there is enough energy.
It would be perfectly capable of being used to bombard the moon.
Even if ordinary forces obtained this weapon, they wouldn't be able to afford the cost of its use.
Uchiha Xin, however, was different.
With his strength, he could launch dozens of times in a row without any problem.
Moreover, the power of the Divine Palace does not come solely from him.
Uchiha Xin had already left behind a Shadow Clone.
The Shadow Clone clone carries the source of the Ten-Tails Chakra within its body and is responsible for providing energy to the entire Divine Palace.
Even if Uchiha Xin leaves, the Divine Palace's weapons can still be activated at any time.
In addition, the outer perimeter of the Divine Palace is covered by God's Protection Barrier.
