Uchiha Puppet Master, Starting from One Piece

Uchiha Hakuba's eyes narrowed, and he bent his body backwards to narrowly avoid the sword strike.

Just then, Kage noticed that the three tomoe in Uchiha Hakuba's eyes were spinning rapidly.

Then Ying's movements suddenly froze, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.

Right now, at this very moment...

Bai Yu vanished instantly, reappearing behind Ying.

"Raikiri!"

This time, Bai Yu didn't hold back.

A bolt of lightning struck the shadow horizontally.

"What?!"

The shadow was terrified and tried to dodge, but its body was unable to move.

"boom!"

"boom!"

Blue lightning exploded with a deafening roar, and the violent current, like a raging dragon, fiercely pierced into Shadow's back. His black bodysuit was instantly scorched with blackened holes, and the stench of burning flesh filled the air. In that instant, just as his body was about to be torn apart by the lightning, Shadow's body turned black.

Then, Ying let out a muffled groan, her body staggering forward uncontrollably, crashing heavily into a jade pillar in the palace.

"Click—"

The hard jade pillar cracked open with a spiderweb-like pattern, and fragments of stone fell down in a flurry.

Ying felt a sweet taste in his throat, and a mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out, splashing onto the skull mask and leaving a dark brown stain.

He gritted his teeth, trying to stand up by supporting himself with his longsword, but his limbs were paralyzed by the lightning, and even the strength to grip the sword was rapidly slipping away from his fingertips.

Even though he used techniques typically reserved for the strongest warriors in the Grand Line, and even though he covered his vital parts with Armament Haki, he was still severely injured.

Uchiha Hakuba's Sharingan flashed with a cold light. His gaze swept over the shadow and then landed on Hamborg, who was slumped on the ground, his face ashen. A mocking smile appeared on his lips.

"You're much stronger than the others to have caught my lightning release."

Bai Yu's voice was calm and even, yet it carried a suffocating sense of oppression.

"Unfortunately, in the face of absolute power, any tricks are futile."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible wave of energy suddenly erupted from Bai Yu's body, an aura filled with killing intent.

Hamburger's pupils shrank sharply, and he was directly overwhelmed by the aura and collapsed to the ground, losing consciousness. Ying trembled all over, and her body, which was still struggling, froze instantly. It was as if a huge boulder had been stuffed into her consciousness, making it difficult to even breathe.

Bai Yu slowly stepped forward and placed his foot on Ying's wrist, which was gripping the longsword.

With a crisp "crack," the sound of bones breaking was clearly audible.

Ying was in so much pain that her whole body convulsed, but she couldn't even scream. She could only let out a hoarse moan from her throat.

"Speak, come on, tell me who wanted to capture Robin!"

Uchiha Shiraha looked down at him, his tone devoid of any warmth.

The power of illusion, like an invisible sharp cone, ruthlessly pierced through the barrier of the shadow's consciousness, forcibly dragging his deeply buried memories to the eyes of Uchiha Hakuba.

In the dimly lit room, candlelight flickered, casting a yellowish glow. A man in a black cloak stood with his back to the shadows: "That woman is dangerous. All member states of the World Government should issue a warrant for her arrest."

The scene abruptly ended there. Shadow's consciousness trembled violently under the forced tearing of the illusion. His head shook wildly, and he let out a painful roar from his throat, with blood even spilling from the corner of his mouth.

Uchiha Hakuba's Sharingan slowly stopped spinning, but the coldness in his eyes was devoid of any warmth.

He has gleaned key information from these fragmented memories: these member states of the World Government harbor deep hostility towards Nico Robin.

"Noisy."

Bai Yu snorted coldly and suddenly increased the force of his foot.

With a crisp "crack," Ying's entire arm bent down in a twisted posture, the sound of bones shattering extremely jarring.

Shadow's body convulsed violently, his eyes filled with a mixture of resentment and despair. With his last ounce of strength, he bit down hard on the poison sac hidden in his teeth.

But Bai Yu was faster. A flash of lightning appeared at his fingertips, and a tiny current of electricity struck his jaw precisely, causing him to clench his teeth tightly and making it impossible for him to bite through the poison sac.

"Want to commit suicide? No, if you lay a hand on my comrades, you'll die by my hand."

Uchiha Hakuba looked down at him, his tone indifferent.

The moment the words fell, Uchiha Hakuba raised his hand, and a ball of violent lightning chakra condensed in his palm, with blue lightning crackling.

"Chidori Stream!"

A crackling electric current instantly swept through Ying's entire body, and the violent chakra, like countless fine steel needles, pierced deep into his limbs and bones.

Before Ying could even utter a scream, her body convulsed violently in the lightning, and she finally lost all life, collapsing to the ground and becoming a cold corpse.

Uchiha Hakuba kicked the Kage's corpse aside, his gaze sweeping over the unconscious Hamburger lying on the ground, his eyes showing no emotion whatsoever.

Just then, a deafening commotion suddenly erupted outside the main hall. Dense footsteps approached like drums, accompanied by the roars of guards and the crisp sound of guns being cocked.

"Surround the main hall!"

"Catch Nico Robin!"

"Don't let them get away!"

As the footsteps grew closer, and the clanging of weapons could be heard, the doors of the main hall were suddenly flung open. A group of armored guards and naval soldiers in cloaks of justice rushed in, their dark gun barrels and gleaming swords all pointed at Bai Yu.

Bai Yu slowly turned around, his Sharingan slightly rotating in his eye sockets.

"Bai Yu, there are too many of them, let's go." Robin's voice was soft, but it clearly reached Bai Yu's ears.

"A lot of people?"

Uchiha Hakuba slowly raised his head, looking at the dome of the main hall, which was reddened by the firelight, and the dark sky.

"Perfect, let me test the power of this move."

The moment he finished speaking, a terrifying wave of chakra erupted from Bai Yu's body, and blue lightning chakra surged out like a tidal wave, soaring straight into the sky.

"Lightning Release: Kirin!"

Boom—!

A deafening thunderclap suddenly erupted, and the once clear night sky was instantly shrouded in dark clouds. Within the thick clouds, purple lightning surged and roared like a giant dragon.

Immediately afterwards, a bolt of purple lightning as thick as a bucket transformed into a legendary Qilin, carrying a world-destroying force as it swooped down from the clouds and struck directly at the crowd outside the main hall.

"Aaaaaah—!"

A piercing scream instantly echoed through the night sky. Purple lightning engulfed swathes of guards and sailors, and a violent shockwave swept out like a tsunami, blowing away surrounding buildings and sending debris and wood chips flying everywhere.

Uchiha Shiraha flashed and instantly appeared beside Kanna. He shot through the hall window like an arrow and sped away into the distance.

"Let's go, Robin, Rangiku!"
