Chapter 178 - Chapter 172: The Unbreakable Defense and the Rules of Resurrection

BOOM!!!

The entwined Haki was exactly like a solid, invisible layer of armor!

Across a layer of torn space, a large fist and a small fist collided violently!

Two dense surges of high-level Armament Haki clashed, and the black lightning erupting in the air echoed fiercely across the battlefield!

The clouds in the firmament rolled, and the shattered ground disintegrated rapidly like foam!

Just from the escaping aftershocks, thousands of pirates and Marines were swept helplessly into the sky by the wild winds!

A pure contest of Haki, supplemented by physical attributes...

Mirai, who wasn't actively using any other abilities, held Garp in a brief stalemate in the air for several seconds!

'A good opportunity!'

Akainu, with blood dripping at the corner of his mouth, had eyes surging with pure murderous intent!

Rising miserably from the deep pit, Akainu kicked off the ground, shattering it entirely as he charged straight toward Mirai's exposed back!

"Meteor Volcano!!!"

Akainu's bloodied roar pushed the power of the Logia-type Magma-Magma Fruit to its limit!

Lava, exactly as if tempered in hell, scorched the sky behind Mirai into a brilliant, apocalyptic red!

CRACK!

Aokiji, also keenly realizing the opportunity, slammed his hands heavily onto the ground!

Extreme freezing cold instantly spread a hundred meters, twisting and rising to violently grab at Mirai's feet!

At the exact same time, a figure condensed from golden flashes of light appeared directly beside Mirai!

A line of blood hung from his lip, and the deep imprint of a previous punch still remained on his face!

The Logia-type Glint-Glint Fruit user...

The moment Kizaru appeared, the golden longsword condensed from photons (Ama no Murakumo) in his hand was already infinitely close to Mirai's neck!

Facing the coordinated siege of the Hero Garp and the Three Marine Admirals...

Mirai simply gave a faint, passing evaluation: "The Devil Fruit abilities are decent, and your coordination is quite seamless."

He spoke with an absolute calmness, exactly as if discussing the weather, showing absolutely no sign of panic.

Sizzle... Sizzle... Sizzle—!

Scalding magma, extreme absolute-zero cold, and a slash approaching the speed of light!

The three attacks were completely blocked by an invisible repulsive force, unable to advance a single inch!

"Are you kidding me?!"

Akainu roared through gritted teeth, his clenched magma fists bombarding the invisible shield in front of him like a torrential rain!

Kizaru's expression tightened dangerously as his long blade swung out in a blinding series of afterimages!

CRACK! CRACK!

At the crisp sound of shattering coming from the invisible shield, a sharp light flashed simultaneously in the eyes of all four Marine powerhouses!

'We can win!'

However...

BOOM!!!

Garp's pupils shrank violently as an irresistible force of gravity suddenly surged into his fists!

It wasn't a special Devil Fruit ability, but pure physical fitness and a further, overwhelming strengthening of Haki!

A look of pure shock flashed across Garp's face before he was blasted high into the sky!

PFFT!

A spray of thick blood splattered out!

An ink-colored short sword, which had appeared in Mirai's hand at some unknown point, plunged straight into Kizaru's chest!

BANG!!!

Mirai gripped the hilt and performed a brutal, one-handed downward slash, violently pinning Kizaru—who was impaled by the short sword—directly to the ground!

Now, only Akainu remained in close quarters.

Mirai slowly raised one hand, and another ink-colored short sword emerged from his palm!

Observation Haki was pushed to its maximum limit!

Akainu actively elementalized his vital points in advance; his entire upper body looked completely like a layer of flowing, untouchable magma!

Unfortunately...

PFFT!

The exact moment the ink-colored short sword touched the magma, Akainu's actively elementalized body suddenly froze!

The short sword carried a crimson light completely through his body, and another person was heavily pinned to the ground, entirely unable to move!

"Damn it!!!"

Ignoring the sharp, burning pain coming from all over his body, Akainu desperately tried to stand up but couldn't muster a single shred of physical strength!

'Sea-Prism Stone?!!'

Known entirely as the solid form of the sea.

Sea-Prism Stone was physically equivalent to the crystallization of the ocean and was the most effective tool for countering Devil Fruit users in this world.

Feeling the special, debilitating fluctuations coming from the short sword, Akainu's face turned so dark it looked like it could drip water.

He had no strength and couldn't even use elementalization to escape.

The suppressing effect was very similar, but the actual material of this short sword (condensed from Six Paths Power) was far more terrifying than Sea-Prism Stone!

Pinned heavily to the ground by the short sword piercing his body, Akainu didn't even have the physical strength to pull it out!

This suppression was something even Sea-Prism Stone couldn't fully achieve!

In just a few brief seconds... before Aokiji's shocked expression could even fade, a terrifying gravitational pull suddenly hit him, violently dragging him toward Mirai's position!

The short sword could flawlessly counter elementalization, and the enemy in close combat possessed Haki even stronger than Garp's.

Rapidly realizing these two critical points, Aokiji instantly condensed a giant ice ball in front of him during his forced flight.

It wasn't to attack, but to physically block the suction dragging him in.

The exact moment he broke free from the gravity, Aokiji realized exactly how this ability was activated... it was very likely triggered by line of sight or the specific direction his palm was facing.

"Good battle awareness. But unfortunately... your strength is a bit lacking."

With the divine skill of traversing the Kamui void, Mirai's speed was even superior to Kizaru's light!

"Now it's two down and one to go. Don't be too much of a buzzkill."

PFFT!

Without any suspense, the third ink-colored short sword pierced directly through Aokiji's chest!

No Sea-Prism Stone was needed.

Truth-Seeking Weapons condensed from the Six Paths Power were even more effective at flawlessly countering elementalization!

...

"As expected..."

"That guy is the most terrifying monster of all!"

Looking at Zenin Mirai, who was effortlessly showing an invincible posture in the center of the battlefield...

Yuji Itadori and his group all wore collective 'just as I thought' expressions.

Even in a completely different world, the result was exactly the same.

A dimensional strike! A literal gap between dimensions in power!

Following White Zetsu to the far side of the battlefield, Itadori, who was the very first to lose his patience, scratched his pink head. "White Zetsu?"

"What exactly was that method you mentioned before we came... about reviving Gojo-sensei, Fushiguro, Nanamin, and the others?"

As soon as Itadori spoke, the intense gazes of Yuta Okkotsu and the others immediately shifted from the center of the battlefield directly to White Zetsu.

By accumulating "game points," they could actually revive their fallen comrades.

Having personally, miraculously witnessed the dead Itadori be resurrected before their very eyes...

Okkotsu, Higuruma, and the others were entirely willing to become loyal pawns under Mirai's command.

They were certainly not cowards who feared death... White Zetsu hadn't fully explained the rules earlier simply because they hadn't formally confirmed entry into the new world yet.

After repelling the Will of the World, Mirai had already arranged the subsequent goals with White Zetsu's main body.

He had also actively set corresponding tasks for Itadori and the others to execute.

"Simple, simple."

White Zetsu walked lazily with his hands in his pockets, explaining with an arrogant, splayed gait. "One hundred game points for one single right of resurrection."

"That Gojo Satoru guy is a bit more expensive; his resurrection costs three hundred points."

"Ryomen Sukuna is also firmly at that price point, if you guys actually want to revive him for some reason."

Seeing Itadori and the others shake their heads repeatedly and vehemently without hesitation, White Zetsu grinned. "The world currently before you is roughly divided into two massive factions."

"One is the 'Pirates' you see fighting now, and the other is the 'World Government'."

"World Government?"

Itadori's tone was slightly confused. "Are you talking about the people on the plaza wearing the 'Justice' coats?"

Nobara Kugisaki also leaned her head in. "Those guys... don't they all call themselves Marines?"

"They are Marines, yes, but that's formally just one military department existing within the overarching World Government."

White Zetsu casually waved his hand. "None of that is particularly important for now."

"You all clearly saw those various, flashy abilities of theirs, right?"

Itadori and the others nodded rapidly like woodpeckers, a different kind of bright light flashing excitedly in their eyes.

Those superpowers that looked so incredibly cool—who wouldn't want to learn a trick or two from them if they could?

"This is the specialty of the Pirate World..." White Zetsu smiled widely.

"Devil Fruit users."
