"His speed is unbelievable! That man is terrifying!!"
Barto stared in shock as the white-haired figure moved freely through the Luss army as if no one could stop him.
At that moment, the white-haired man—White Fang—turned his gaze toward Barto.
Behind the mask, his eyes were cold and emotionless.
The short blade in his hand suddenly began to glow with a milky-white chakra light, and an overwhelming aura erupted from his body.
"So… he's targeting me."
Barto's body tensed.
His face turned grave as he drew the long sword at his waist.
He could clearly sense the terrifying power contained within White Fang.
I have to give it everything.
Otherwise… I'll die.
A bead of cold sweat slid down the corner of his eye.
Gripping his sword tightly, Barto fixed his gaze on White Fang, who stood nearly one hundred meters away.
For a moment—
The air seemed to freeze.
Silence pressed down like a weight.
Then—
White Fang moved.
Whoosh—
A piercing sound tore through the air.
In an instant, White Fang seemed to merge with the glowing blade in his hand, transforming into a streak of dazzling white light.
The beam of light shot forward.
It pierced straight through the soldiers standing between them without slowing even slightly.
In the blink of an eye—
The white flash swept past the vigilant Barto and came to a stop ten meters behind him.
Then—
Slash.
A dull tearing sound echoed.
Along a straight line behind White Fang—
More than a hundred soldiers suddenly had their throats split open.
Blood erupted from their necks at the same time.
Their bodies collapsed to the ground.
Barto trembled.
"H… how… is this possible…"
He clutched his own neck as blood poured through his fingers.
His strength faded rapidly.
His body slowly collapsed into the growing pool of blood beneath him.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
One after another—
More than a hundred bodies hit the ground, including Barto's.
Scarlet blood quickly spread across the earth, staining the battlefield crimson.
All around them, the soldiers of Luss stood frozen in disbelief.
Their eyes were wide with shock.
Their commander…
Had been killed so easily?
The Collapse of the Luss Army
"So fragile."
The white glow on White Fang's blade gradually faded.
A cold, emotionless voice drifted from beneath his mask.
The next moment—
He shot forward again like lightning, charging toward the stunned soldiers.
"AHHH!!!"
The sudden screams snapped the soldiers out of their daze.
Their bodies shook violently.
"The commander is dead!!"
"Run for your lives!!!"
No one knew who shouted it first.
But the words spread like a plague.
In an instant—
The Luss soldiers' morale shattered.
Panic overtook them completely.
They abandoned the battlefield and began fleeing in every direction.
Total Panic
"What's going on?!"
"What happened?!"
Elsewhere on the plaza, Luss soldiers noticed large groups of their comrades running away in terror.
Confusion spread quickly.
But when they heard the words—
"The commander is dead!"
The battlefield fell into a strange silence.
"The commander… was killed?!"
"That's impossible!"
"If even the commander lost… how can we fight monsters like this?!"
Fear.
Dread.
Despair.
The emotions spread rapidly through the Luss army.
Meanwhile, under the leadership of the ANBU, Zephir's soldiers fought with unstoppable momentum.
The contrast between the two armies was stark.
As the battle dragged on, casualties among the Luss forces continued to rise.
With their commander missing and the army falling apart—
The Luss military finally collapsed completely.
"Help!! I don't want to die!!"
"Please—don't kill me!"
"AHHH!!"
"Run!!!"
The thunder of artillery continued.
Cannons roared across the plaza as the remaining Luss soldiers fled in panic.
Facing Zephir's overwhelming firepower and the unstoppable ANBU—
Their will to fight had completely vanished.
Only blind escape remained.
Victory
At the center of the plaza, Arthur stood quietly, observing the battlefield.
When he saw the Luss army completely crumble—
A faint smile appeared on his lips.
Zephir had won.
Then Arthur slowly raised his hand.
His Rinnegan opened.
"Universal Pull."
A powerful gravitational force burst from his palm.
Hundreds of meters away—
Stanley, who was chasing down fleeing soldiers while transformed into a massive white bear through his Devil Fruit ability, suddenly felt an irresistible force pulling him backward.
"What—what is this?!"
Stanley was startled.
He quickly turned his head.
When he saw Arthur extending his hand toward him—
His entire body trembled.
He immediately cancelled his transformation and allowed the force to pull him in.
In an instant—
He was dragged through the air and landed in front of Arthur.
The gravity vanished the moment his feet touched the ground.
"Your Majesty!"
Stanley bowed respectfully.
But his eyes were filled with shock as he looked at Arthur's purple ripple-patterned eyes.
So this… is His Majesty's true power?
Those eyes… and that irresistible force…
No wonder he could secretly cultivate such a terrifying force like the ANBU.
His Majesty… is truly extraordinary.
Thinking this, Stanley lowered his head even further in respect.
The Aftermath
Arthur spoke calmly.
"Pass down the order."
"The Royal Army is to capture all soldiers of the Kingdom of Luss."
"Anyone who continues to resist… execute them on the spot."
"And remember—"
"Do not harm ordinary civilians."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Stanley immediately responded.
He turned and ran off quickly.
At the same time, he pulled out a Den Den Mushi from his coat and began transmitting Arthur's orders to all the units across the battlefield.
