“Hahahahaha!” The ability user captain’s body began to show dense cracks from overusing his ability, and wisps of purple energy overflowed from his seven orifices and wounds, making him look like a porcelain vessel about to shatter.
But he didn’t care, he just used his last breath to let out a crazy roar:
“Do you feel it, Roronoa! This is the power of the Dimension! What if your Haki is strong? What if your swordsmanship is high? You can cut steel, you can cut flames, but can you cut ‘the world’ itself? My ability is not yet mature, I cannot precisely pinpoint the landing point, I can only open a death channel to an unknown random dimension! This is a forbidden technique that will lead to mutual destruction, I will die from the backlash of spatiotemporal energy, and you—you will be forever lost in the cracks of time and space until your body and soul are ground into the most primitive particles!”
“So that’s it… are you planning to drag me down with you?”
Zoro’s eyes turned completely cold, without a trace of jest.
He knew that the enemy in front of him was already a dead man, but this dead man, before his demise, wanted to drag him into the abyss together.
He no longer held anything back.
He took a deep breath, and the airflow seemed to carry the sound of metal.
He suddenly shook his head, biting the snow-white hilt of the wado ichimonji precisely between his teeth!
This action was the sign of him entering his most serious combat state!
Immediately after, his hands simultaneously pressed on the other two swords at his waist.
In his left hand was the demonic blade inherited from Oden, capable of devouring the wielder’s Haki— “Enma”!
In his right hand was the ominous and cursed demonic blade— “sandai kitetsu”!
“Clang—!”
The two peerless fierce blades were unsheathed simultaneously!
“Demon Qi: Nine-Sword Style…”
Buzz—!!!
A terrifying aura, far exceeding any previous moment, erupted from Zoro’s body like an awakened ancient beast!
Behind him, a blurry phantom of a three-headed, six-armed demon god, emanating endless killing intent, shimmered in and out of existence, its three faces all having the ruthless appearance of an Asura!
Immediately after, an invisible and formless, yet mountain-heavy willpower, capable of making all things submit, swept across the entire forest like a shockwave!
Haoshoku Haki!
Those pirates who were originally only unconscious, under this pure will pressure, foamed at the mouth and convulsed violently, their spirits directly crushed by this Haoshoku!
But that wasn’t all!
Dark, lightning-like energy appeared out of thin air, wrapping around the three swords in his hands and perfectly merging with the Armament Haki that already covered the blades.
This was a technique on the sea that only a handful of top powerhouses could master—Haoshoku Infusion!
The three swords seemed to come alive.
Enma let out a greedy and excited hum, frantically drawing the vast, ocean-like Haki from Zoro’s body; the sandai kitetsu’s Demon Qi surged to an unprecedented level, echoing the destructive aura of that door; only wado ichimonji remained pure and steadfast, representing his unshakeable sword heart.
Zoro poured all his strength into his legs, like the strongest ship anchors, firmly pinning himself to the collapsing ground, directly confronting the all-consuming suction!
On one side was the power of laws capable of tearing space, and on the other was the will of a king capable of distorting reality!
The two extreme forces collided violently, triggering a catastrophic chain reaction.
That already unstable “Gate of Time and Space,” under the violent impact of Zoro’s Haoshoku, became even more chaotic!
At the edge of the doorway, purple spatial arcs danced wildly, like out-of-control venomous snakes, spreading into the surrounding air.
Fine black cracks appeared out of thin air in the void, as if this space was already overwhelmed, like a piece of glass about to completely shatter!
“It’s useless! It’s useless!” Half of the ability user captain’s body had already turned into light particles, but he was still laughing wildly, “The more you resist, the more unstable these cracks become! This space itself is about to be sucked in! Disappear with me!”
Zoro frowned tightly, he could feel his Haki being consumed at a terrifying rate.
The ground beneath his feet had completely collapsed, and he was being dragged inch by inch towards that door by an irresistible force.
