Uchiha Xin recalled the Devil Fruit of the present world.
There aren't many abilities that he truly values.
He can now accomplish most of the things that fruits can do using his Eye of God, Kekkei Mōra, spatial powers, and Dark Lightning.
Adding a repetitive method wastes extra slots and is unnecessary.
"Keep it for now."
"We'll talk about it when we find the right skills later."
[Ding! The extra Devil Fruit slot will not refill automatically.]
[Whether or not to embed it is up to the host.]
Uchiha Xin closed the system interface.
Shyarly was already asleep on the bed.
Her body has been repaired by the Power of the Limit and will not suffer any damage.
Uchiha Xin tidied her long, disheveled hair, then got up and left.
He left the room, walked through the Divine Palace corridor, and came to Kalifa's room.
Kalifa is awake.
She sat leaning against the headboard, her long golden hair cascading over her shoulders.
Hearing the door open, she immediately looked up.
Upon recognizing the person who approached, her body tensed instantly.
" Uchiha Xin!"
Kalifa gritted her teeth and forced herself to sit up straight.
She wanted to get out of bed.
As soon as I exerted force with my legs, a wave of soreness washed over my body.
Everything I endured last night left no scars.
The Power of the Limit repaired her flesh and bones, and even strengthened her physique once again.
But that memory remains.
Enies Lobby was destroyed.
CP9 was defeated.
She was forcibly taken away.
Each of these things was enough to make her hate the man in front of her.
"You dare to come in!"
Kalifa gripped the sheets tightly.
"How are Lucci and the others?"
I don't know.
Uchiha Xin closed the door.
"I have no interest in confirming whether they are alive or dead."
Kalifa's breathing suddenly quickened.
"There are tens of thousands of people on Enies Lobby!"
"You could have stopped those islands from falling, but you took me with you!"
"Are you still pretending it's none of your business?"
Uchiha Xin came to the bedside.
"I've already made this very clear to you."
"The islands were brought by Shiki."
"The one who caused them to fall was also Shiki."
"As for the people on Enies Lobby, they are from the World Government, not my subordinates."
I have no obligation to save them.
Kalifa stared intently at him.
"That's just sophistry!"
"You were originally planning to destroy Enies Lobby!"
"Those people are dead, just as you wished!"
"Good."
Uchiha Xin did not deny it.
"I did originally intend to sink Enies Lobby."
Kalifa was stunned.
She didn't expect Uchiha Xin to admit it so readily.
The next moment, an even stronger surge of anger welled up.
"You're crazy!"
"Just because of a bounty and a title, you're going to destroy one of the three major World Government organizations?"
What grudge do you hold against those ordinary soldiers and staff?
"The Navy has put a bounty on my head; they are the ones who will carry it out."
Uchiha Xin said:
"If you side with the hostile forces, you should bear the consequences."
Kalifa threw off the covers and pounced on him.
"I kill you!"
She punched Uchiha Xin in the face.
The power of the Shigan is all concentrated in the fist.
Before the attack could land, Uchiha Xin grabbed his wrist.
Kalifa immediately lifted her leg.
Before Tempest Kick could even kick, his other hand was already on her shoulder.
Bang!
She was pushed back onto the bed.
The whole bed shook.
Kalifa struggled with all her might.
It felt like a mountain was pressing down on my shoulders.
No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't move an inch.
"Let me go!"
" Uchiha Xin!"
"One day, I will kill you with my own hands!"
Uchiha Xin looked down at her.
"With you?"
Kalifa gritted her teeth.
She had grown taller than before, and her physique had been strengthened multiple times under the influence of Power of the Limit.
If she were to return to Enies Lobby now, she was confident she could easily defeat her past self.
Even if Lucci uses the Rokuogan, he might not be able to hurt her.
But such power was still meaningless in front of Uchiha Xin.
He didn't even use his Eye of God.
With just one hand, he pressed her down so she couldn't get up.
The gap between the two sides not only failed to narrow, but widened to the point where she couldn't see the end.
Kalifa stopped struggling.
What exactly do you want?
"I have been taken to the Sky Island by you."
" Enies Lobby is also destroyed."
What else do you want from me?
Uchiha Xin released his grip.
Kalifa immediately retreated to the corner of the bed.
She did not make another move.
Her previous attempt had made her realize that resistance was futile.
"I need someone who can handle things."
Uchiha Xin said:
"From today onwards, you will manage the Sky Island and the Divine Palace for me."
Kalifa as if she'd heard a joke.
"You want me to do things for you?"
You're dreaming!
I would rather die than submit to you!
Uchiha Xin looked at her.
"Death solves nothing."
Kalifa's expression changed.
"What do you mean?"
Uchiha Xin did not answer.
The purple-gold patterns in the Eye of God slowly emerged.
Eight rings appeared from the depths of the pupils.
Everything in the room came to a standstill at the same time.
Kalifa wanted to back away.
Her body, however, was out of control.
His hands were still pressed down on the bed.
His breathing didn't stop either.
But she couldn't move a single finger.
Those purplish-gold eyes filled her entire field of vision.
An incomprehensible force passed through the body and descended directly into the soul.
"Those eyes again..."
Kalifa recalled the battle on Enies Lobby.
Dozens of floating Sky Island turned to dust before those eyes.
The Golden Lion tried to escape, but ultimately died high in the sky.
Now, the Eye of God is truly focused on her.
For the first time, Kalifa felt utter despair.
Her physique was already enough to overwhelm Lucci.
The Six Powers also became stronger through reinforcement.
But in front of Uchiha Xin, she was no different from an ordinary person.
Strength, speed, and the Six Powers —all of these have lost their meaning.
"You want to control me?"
Kalifa spoke with difficulty.
"Tampering with my memories?"
"Or will you turn me into a mindless puppet?"
"None of those."
Uchiha Xin raised his right hand and pointed two fingers at her forehead.
I will not alter your memories.
It won't change your personality.
Your judgments, thoughts, and personal will will be fully preserved.
Kalifa did not relax because of this.
"So what do you want to do?"
"To make you completely submit."
The Level Eight Eye of God began to rotate.
A purple-gold power flowed from her fingertips into Kalifa's brow.
There was no pain.
There was no impact.
Kalifa's consciousness instantly plunged into chaos.
The room in front of them disappeared.
The bed, the walls, and Uchiha Xin were all gone.
She felt as if she had fallen into an endless darkness.
The memory remains.
She remembers joining CP9.
I remember years of training.
Remember the Iceburg.
I remember Enies Lobby.
I also remember Uchiha Xin defeating Lucci and taking me away.
All memories are intact.
Her personality hasn't changed either.
pride.
reason.
calm.
These things still belong to her.
But in the deepest part of his consciousness, a power that had never appeared before began to gather.
That force doesn't touch memories.
Do not erase thoughts.
It bypassed all defenses and directly branded itself onto the very essence of the soul.
