Robin did not let go.
"You should have expected this outcome from the moment you stopped Xin."
High in the sky.
Uchiha Xin stomped on Shanks' abdomen.
Shanks ' body bent instantly.
The next punch landed squarely on his chin.
He was lifted into the air.
Before he even reached the highest point, Uchiha Xin had already appeared behind him.
Hands clasped together.
Bang!
Shanks plummeted downwards again.
But he only fell a few dozen meters before being blasted back into the air by an upward kick.
Twenty-odd seconds.
Shanks has already endured hundreds of heavy blows.
His body's Armament Haki kept breaking apart, only to be forcibly reformed again.
Until the final punch landed, the remaining Haki completely dissipated.
Shanks could no longer maintain his defense.
Fresh blood kept flowing from his mouth and nose.
His arms hung limply at his sides.
The broken bone pierced into the flesh.
Conqueror's Haki could no longer be released.
His consciousness was beginning to fade.
Uchiha Xin did not throw another punch.
He raised his right hand.
" Banshō Ten'in."
Gravity descended instantly.
Shanks, who was falling, stopped on the spot.
His limbs were locked by gravity, and his body was forcibly dragged in front of Uchiha Xin.
Shanks tried to struggle.
He raised his arm only slightly before letting it fall again.
He had no strength left.
Uchiha Xin looked at him.
" The Four Emperors?"
"Is this all the strength you have?"
"You brought your entire pirate crew here, and you still want to stop me?"
"In the end, he couldn't even stop me for twenty seconds."
"So what if they call Red-Haired? It's nothing special."
Shanks opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
His breath was already weak, but his gaze remained fixed on him.
"You are indeed very strong..."
"Much better than I expected..."
"Don't think that defeating me will allow you to run rampant in this world."
Uchiha Xin did not interrupt.
Shanks gasped for breath several times.
" The Celestial Dragons are not as simple as they seem."
"The true power held by the World Government is not the Navy or the Cipher Pol."
"Continue the war with them..."
You'll definitely alert Imu.
Uchiha Xin remained expressionless.
Shanks, however, stared at his face.
"That person has ruled the world for eight hundred years."
" The Five Elders are merely their public representatives."
"You possess spatial abilities, lightning abilities, and those eyes."
But that's still not enough.
Listen to me.
"It's not too late to stop now."
Uchiha Xin finally spoke.
" Imu?"
Shanks' pupils suddenly contracted.
"You know this name?"
For the first time, his voice betrayed panic.
The existence of Imu is a top secret of the World Government.
Even Fleet Admiral might not know that there is a true King of the World on the Empty Throne.
But Uchiha Xin's tone was too calm.
No doubt.
No further questions were asked.
They clearly knew who Imu was all along.
Where did you hear that?
Who told you that?
Shanks forced himself to lift his head.
"How much more do you actually know?"
Uchiha Xin looked down at him.
"I know all the secrets of this world."
" Void Century."
" The D. Clan."
" Ancient Weapon."
" Great Kingdom."
" Celestial Dragons."
" The Five Elders."
"And there's Imu, hiding on the Empty Throne."
Shanks' expression changed completely.
"You know everything?"
"Impossible!"
Even within the World Government, very few people know the whole truth!
Uchiha Xin said coldly:
"Your limited experience doesn't mean I can't do it."
"You're afraid of Imu, so you're constantly trying to maintain this so-called balance."
"I'm different."
"So what if Imu controls the World Law?"
"When I find him, I'll still crush his soul."
Shanks wanted to speak again.
"You have no idea about Imu's power..."
Uchiha Xin's Eye of God has already started to move.
The purple-gold wheel locks onto Shanks.
You have no right to continue.
" Tensei: Rinne."
A purple-gold light passed through Shanks ' body.
A wisp of soul was forcibly extracted.
Shanks ' voice abruptly stopped.
The body, devoid of its soul, became completely stiff.
Uchiha Xin his five fingers together.
Bang!
His soul shattered on the spot.
Red-Haired Shanks, one of the Four Emperors who had roamed the seas for many years, has fallen completely.
[Ding! Red-Haired Shanks been successfully defeated!]
[Ding! Top-tier ability detected as dropped!]
[Ding! You have acquired Red-Haired Shanks' Great Swordsman Swordsmanship!]
[Ding! The host already possesses top-tier swordsmanship; this ability has been automatically converted into swordsmanship proficiency!]
[Ding! You have obtained Red-Haired Shanks's super-powerful Taijutsu!]
[Ding! Superior Taijutsu can be freely equipped!]
[Ding! You have obtained top-tier Armament Haki!]
[Ding! You have obtained top-tier Observation Haki!]
[Ding! You have obtained top-tier Conqueror's Haki!]
[Ding! The host now possesses Three Types of Haki; repeated abilities are automatically converted into a massive amount of proficiency!]
Streams of power entered Uchiha Xin's body.
Shanks' Taijutsu, honed over many years, were completely preserved.
Close-quarters combat.
A burst of power.
Geppo technique.
Every piece of experience can be readily integrated and used.
His Three Types of Haki was also dismantled by the system.
Shanks ' Armament Haki is extremely powerful.
In terms of Haki power, it's no weaker than Shiki the Golden Lion.
Observation Haki allows Future Sight and capture all changes in the battle.
The biggest boost comes from Conqueror's Haki.
Shanks can control the spread of Conqueror's Haki.
With just his imposing aura, he could intimidate even the most powerful experts.
When unleashed, its Haki can even directly affect distant ships from the coast.
Now, all of these accumulated strengths have been incorporated into the King's Haki.
A purplish-black power spread from Uchiha Xin's body.
The high-altitude clouds split open on the spot.
The sea level below dipped again.
The wrecked Red Fosse made a cracking sound.
The remaining members of the Red Hair Pirates who were still conscious on the ship simultaneously lost consciousness.
Robin immediately activated the Float-Float Fruit, taking Perona to an even higher place.
Perona's face turned pale.
"His sheer Haki is enough to immobilize me."
Robin looked up at Uchiha Xin in the sky.
His Haki has grown even stronger.
Uchiha Xin clenched his fist.
A domineering purplish-black Haki flowed around the fist.
The current King's Haki has undergone another transformation.
If he were to fight Shanks at his peak again, he wouldn't even need to throw a punch.
With sheer Haki aura, he could completely suppress his opponent.
Compared to the improvement in Haki, the breakthrough in swordsmanship is even more astonishing.
Shanks ' swordsmanship expertise continued to be integrated into Uchiha Xin's body.
From the most basic gripping and swinging of a sword, to the sword-drawing habits formed in battle, and Shanks' combination of Haki and swordsmanship, all experience is completely broken down by the system.
Uchiha Xin had already absorbed decades of swordsmanship training from the Golden Lion.
That level of cultivation allowed him to stand firmly at the peak of the Great Swordsman.
Even after Hawk Eyes honed his swordsmanship again following his defeat, he still hadn't reached true perfection.
The outcome of their rematch will be unchanged.
But Shanks is different.
His swordsmanship was not as refined as Hawk Eyes's, but he too stood atop the sea.
The Divine Departure.
Conqueror's Haki Coating.
Future Sight.
In Shanks' hands, these abilities had long been integrated with his swordsmanship.
