[CHAT GROUP]
Doflamingo: Group Leader! reincarnate me so I can destroy that despicable impostor.
Lucas happily agreed to Doflamingo's request and created a clone to send back to the Pirate World. He took Doflamingo's corpse and brought him into this world after reincarnation.
In the outside world:
With Lucas's approval, the reincarnated Doflamingo smiled grimly. Without a word, he launched an attack at the distant Mora.
"Five Color String!"
Doflamingo released incomparably sharp threads with cutting power like a sword. Although Mora and Esdeath dodged the slash, the high platform beneath their feet was cut in half.
"What happened?"
"Doflamingo?"
"Impossible! How could Doflamingo appear in the Akame ga Kill World?"
"And his current state is wrong—it resembles Edo Tensei!"
Mora observed the cracks on Doflamingo's body and kept speculating internally.
"You're very strong. Let me be your opponent!"
Esdeath regarded Doflamingo with a battle-hungry expression. She raised her hand, launching countless icicles at him.
Doflamingo manipulated his threads to shatter all the incoming ice. Esdeath burst through the shattered ice layer from above, driving an ice sword toward Doflamingo's heart.
[CHAT GROUP]
Golden Lion Shiki: This woman is formidable. Doflamingo is likely outmatched. I wonder how Marine Admiral Aokiji would fare against her.
Lucas: Although they both manipulate ice, Esdeath definitely surpasses Aokiji in ice abilities.
Whitebeard: Impossible! That boy Aokiji has developed his Ice-Ice Fruit powers to the extent he can easily freeze an island. Even so, he's still no match for that woman?
Lucas: Freezing an island? You underestimate Aokiji. His strength focuses on Devil Fruit abilities—his ice can even freeze volcanic lava. When Aokiji confronted Black Arm Zephyr, he froze the lava from an entire volcanic island.
Howard Stark: Frozen magma? That's truly terrifying power. Since the Group Leader claims Aokiji's ice manipulation isn't as refined as this woman's, how powerful are her ice abilities?
Lucas: This woman possesses a unique technique—Mahapadma—which creates a time-freezing effect.
Sebastian Shaw: That's extraordinary!
Lucas: Indeed! Within Mahapadma's area, everything appears motionless, with only Esdeath retaining mobility.
Senju Hashirama: What a frightening technique! When caught in it, wouldn't victims be helplessly slaughtered?
Golden Lion Shiki: Shihahaha! A terrifying technique indeed, but I want to experience it. As a reincarnated being now, I'm not afraid of death.
Pirate King Roger: After hearing that, I want to test it too. If this technique is truly so powerful, neither we nor Aokiji could stand against this woman.
Lucas: Not necessarily! Pay attention—I said Aokiji couldn't match Esdeath in ice manipulation, but I didn't claim his overall strength was inferior. While powerful, her technique isn't invincible.
Whitebeard: What limitations does this technique have?
Lucas: It creates the illusion of stopped time, but that's all. The technique itself isn't lethal—Esdeath must still deliver killing blows herself. You can see that controlling ice is her physical combat art.
Sword God Ryuma: People in this world lack Armament Haki. If Esdeath freezes an elementalized Aokiji, wouldn't she be unable to harm him?
Lucas: Not necessarily! When Aokiji transforms into ice, Esdeath could attack with fire and high temperatures. Unfortunately, Mahapadma has time limitations and can only be used once daily. After deployment, Esdeath might not find suitable weapons nearby.
Gold Thief Woonan: That significantly reduces the technique's threat. And the Group Leader mentioned previously that people here have physical capabilities similar to those in the Ninja World.
Senju Tobirama: Which suggests Esdeath's physical strength isn't extraordinary. Her battle with Doflamingo shows she can't overpower him physically, let alone Marine Admiral Aokiji.
Uchiha Shisui: I believe Esdeath's physical strength exceeds most ninja world inhabitants. While not comparable to Raikage's physical conditioning, it's not far behind.
Lucas: Absolutely! She's a terrifying woman who hunts dangerous beasts bare-handed. Don't underestimate her—her close combat skills rival Uchiha Madara's.
Uchiha Madara: ...
Senju Hashirama: Madara's situation resembles Esdeath's! Uchiha Madara, do you want to challenge that woman?
Uchiha Madara: Unnecessary! I'd immediately deploy Susanoo for both offense and defense. This woman's technique would be useless against me. By the way, what's the source of Esdeath's ice control ability?
Lucas: It's a Teigu called Demon's Extract. This world lacks Chakra and Devil Fruits—supernatural powers come from Teigu, weapons crafted through powerful materials and alchemy.
Howard Stark: Alchemy? Group Leader, can you collect such knowledge?
Lucas: I'd like to, but such techniques are nearly lost. However, alchemical texts still exist—you could study those.
Golden Lion Shiki: Group Leader, let me challenge Esdeath. I want to experience this time-freezing ability.
Pirate King Roger: Me too!
Lucas: No problem, I'll transport you immediately. But remember—resist strongly after she freezes time.
Pirate King Roger: What do you mean?
Lucas: Esdeath's technique isn't rule-based power—it's merely a skill. With sufficient resistance, you can break free.
Golden Lion Shiki: Shihahaha! Interesting! I'll definitely try that when the moment comes.
In the outside world:
Lucas sent a clone to transport both Roger and Shiki. As soon as they appeared, they engaged Esdeath in combat.
"Flying Slash!"
Shiki rushed toward Esdeath, unleashing a powerful sword energy attack without preamble.
"Thousand-Layer Ice Wall!"
Esdeath waved her hand, creating a dense array of ice shields between herself and the incoming sword energy.
The Flying Slash cut through the ice shields like a knife through tofu, but after its power diminished, Esdeath shattered it with her own sword.
"Another powerful opponent—how thrilling!"
Esdeath regarded Golden Lion with burning eyes, asking curiously, "How are you floating in the air?"
Shiki laughed: "Defeat me, and I'll answer all your questions."
Roger watched Shiki and Esdeath preparing to clash, exclaiming unhappily: "Wait! Why are you two fighting without me? I want to participate too!"
Esdeath glanced at Roger and, without a word, launched a massive ice block at him while shouting: "Silence!"
Roger's eyes lit up as he raised his hand, cutting the flying ice with sword energy before directing an attack toward Esdeath.
Esdeath raised her hand to create an ice defense, but seeing the sword energy seemingly possess intelligence—avoiding her defenses and relentlessly pursuing her—she realized the danger.
Her pupils contracted as she recognized her fragile body couldn't withstand this attack. She had no choice but to deploy her ultimate technique—Mahapadma!
A light blue field spread from Esdeath, instantly covering a large area. Everything within froze in place.
The previously aggressive Divine Departure Sword Energy stopped mid-air, immobilized like a fly in amber.
"You've both given me a wonderful surprise."
"Impressive that you forced me to use my ultimate technique."
"To thank you for the excitement you've brought me, I'll refrain from killing you immediately."
"Instead, I'll sever your limbs, imprison you, and torture you."
Esdeath smiled morbidly, approaching Roger and Golden Lion Shiki with an ice sword in hand.
Boom!
Suddenly, the invisible Conqueror's Haki erupted from Pirate King Roger. The raw pressure caused Esdeath's Mahapadma to waver.
"How is this possible?"
Esdeath was stunned—her technique was being disrupted!
"The Group Leader was right—this technique can be resisted and broken," Golden Lion Shiki said slowly, as Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki radiated from his body.
From a distance:
Mora, pursued by Doflamingo, was going crazy. What was happening to this world?
Powerful pirates from the One Piece World were appearing one after another, all bearing the appearance of Edo Tensei.
At the royal palace:
The Great General Budo, clad in armor, looked grim. After instructing his loyal soldiers to protect the palace, he personally led troops to confront Esdeath and the others.
Though he disliked Esdeath, Budo acknowledged she was an elite imperial force like himself.
Despite his distaste, Budo intended to save her. He suspected those attacking Esdeath were rebels.
How could Budo, loyal to the empire, allow rebels to rampage through the imperial capital?
