One after another, the floating Sky Island were detached from their original positions.
The mountain collapsed.
The river water is flowing backwards.
The pirates on the island clung to trees and rocks, screaming in agony.
"Captain Shiki!"
We're still on the island!
Stop right now!
Shiki completely ignored him.
He stared intently at Uchiha Xin, his chest heaving violently.
The recent continuous battles had exhausted a great deal of his energy.
Lion Vanchez did not win.
Lion's Might - Earth Scroll was cleaved in two with a single strike.
The first island that crashed was also shattered head-on by Uchiha Xin.
Shiki has run out of stronger attacks.
Then overwhelm the opponent with sheer numbers.
"You brat!"
"I have over sixty islands here!"
"Can you shatter one, or ten?"
"I'll see how long you can hold out!"
Uchiha Xin looked at Shiki.
The other person's breathing became erratic.
Its Haki is also waning.
This current show of force is nothing more than a last-ditch effort.
" Shiki."
You've run out of ideas.
Shiki's face darkened.
"I'm still standing here!"
"The battle is not over!"
He pressed his hands down.
More islands lost the support of the Float-Float Fruit.
Dozens of floating Sky Island crashed simultaneously.
The navy personnel on Enies Lobby scattered and fled.
Someone jumped into the sea.
Some people rushed toward the Gate of Justice.
Many more people crowded under the Tower of Justice, with no idea where to hide.
Spandam grabbed Lucci's clothes.
"Take me away!"
"Quickly use Geppo to get me away from here!"
"I am the commander of CP9!"
I command you to protect me!
Lucci shoved his hand away.
"Dozens of islands cover the entire sea area."
"It's too late to escape now."
Spandam collapsed to the ground.
"What should we do then?"
I don't want to die!
"I am the commander of Enies Lobby!"
No one answered him.
Everyone was looking up at the sky.
Uchiha Xin releases the Black Blade Yoru.
The blade remained suspended at his side, without falling.
He raised his right hand.
The purple-gold patterns in the Eye of God all lit up.
" Shiki."
What you just witnessed was merely my swordsmanship.
"Now, I'll show you true power."
Shiki's heart tightened.
His Observation Haki was flashing an alarm.
That crisis did not originate from Black Blade Yoru.
It didn't come from Dark Thunderbolt either.
The surrounding space has changed.
It's not distorted.
Instead, it was torn apart by some force.
Uchiha Xin raised two fingers together.
The Power of the Limit surged into the Eye of God.
The Law of Space then locked onto Shiki and all the floating Sky Island.
" Kamui - Void Slash".
No sword energy appeared.
There was no lightning strike.
A black line appeared in front of Uchiha Xin.
The black lines extend to both sides.
Ten meters.
100 meters.
km.
In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the entire sky.
Where the black line passed, space split open.
The moment the first floating Sky Island touched the crack, the mountain peak silently broke apart.
Next comes the ground.
Rock strata.
Everything inside the island was cut apart by spatial rifts.
The entire island was first divided into two halves.
It was then cut into hundreds of pieces by the crisscrossing spatial cracks.
The second floating Sky Island followed closely behind.
No collision.
There was no explosion.
The massive island looked as if it had been placed in an invisible net of knives.
It disintegrated layer by layer.
The island's mountains, forests, rivers, and buildings were all shattered.
The third one.
The fourth one.
None of the dozens of islands were able to cross that spatial rift.
Above Enies Lobby, the entire space has been transformed into a massive strangulation arena.
Before the island fragments could continue falling, a second wave of spatial rifts swept through from within.
Hundreds of meters of rock were cut into sections tens of meters long.
The tens of meters of rubble were then cut into fist-sized pieces.
In the end, it all turned into stone dust.
Everyone on Enies Lobby stopped.
Kaku's Observation Haki was no longer sufficient to probe further.
That space was riddled with cracks.
Any senses that enter it will be immediately cut off.
"It's not sword energy."
"Space has been cleaved open."
Jabra tilted his head back, the ferocity on his face long gone.
"Dozens of islands, all gone?"
The Fukurou's beak was wide open.
"Chirp chirp!"
"Those are dozens of real islands!"
"Not even a pebble fell!"
Kalifa looked at the flying stone chips.
She finally understood why Uchiha Xin hadn't attacked immediately.
The other party doesn't care about the number of islands at all.
Even one is fine.
Even dozens of them would be fine.
There was no difference before that spatial slash.
Lucci's hand slowly clenched.
He always believed that strength, speed, and killing skills were the foundation of combat.
But the attack in front of us has already exceeded those limits.
Uchiha Xin did not attack the island.
He slashed at space itself.
Shiki was frozen high in the air.
There has always been a connection between him and those islands through the power of the Float-Float Fruit.
Even if the island temporarily falls, he can make it float again as long as he reactivates his ability.
But the moment the spatial rift swept across, all those connections were severed.
It didn't disappear naturally after the island was destroyed.
Rather, the power of the Float-Float Fruit was severed at the spatial level.
Shiki raised his hands, desperately activating his powers.
The scattered stone chips did not react.
The remaining massive rock formations continued to fall.
How is that possible?
"My abilities are still intact!"
"Why can't we control those islands!"
Uchiha Xin looked at him.
"I have severed your spatial connection with the island."
"You can't reach them anymore with your Float-Float Fruit."
Shiki's pupils constricted.
He roamed the seas for decades.
I've witnessed Roger's Haki.
I've seen Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit.
He also fought directly against Garp and Sengoku.
But even the strongest forces have their limits of comprehension.
Uchiha Xin's attack, however, directly severed the connection between the Devil Fruit and its target.
If that slash had landed on him, what would have been severed?
Body?
Haki?
Devil Fruit?
Or is it life itself?
Shiki dared not think any further.
He had already exhausted most of his strength.
His swordsmanship was suppressed.
The Float-Float Fruit was also countered head-on by the opponent.
He has no chance of winning if they continue fighting.
Once the thought came to mind, it could no longer be suppressed.
Shiki turned around abruptly.
The Float-Float Fruit is activated at full power.
His body shot off into the distance in an instant.
"Captain Shiki escaped?"
A pirate who was lucky enough to escape the attack stayed on a distant island.
That's Golden Lion!
"A legendary pirate on par with Roger!"
"He actually escaped!"
On Enies Lobby, the CP9 members also witnessed this scene.
Jabra couldn't believe it for a moment.
" Shiki ran away?"
Kaku said in a deep voice:
"If we don't run, he'll die."
"His physical strength and Haki have declined too much."
"He couldn't withstand that spatial slash just now."
Uchiha Xin watched Shiki's departing figure, his face filled with only disappointment.
The Golden Lion escaped from Impel Down after having his legs cut off.
A legendary pirate who single-handedly infiltrated the Marine Headquarters.
When truly faced with death, they will turn and run for their lives.
" Shiki."
You have disappointed me.
Shiki did not turn around.
