One Piece: We already have the Four Gods, so my Six Paths Sage is reasonable, right?

"Shhh~~~"

Amidst the swirling smoke and dust, after the bull demon spun around for a moment, a rain of mud began to fall from the sky, with fine clods of mud and gravel pelting down.

The intense malice that had been present earlier had completely dissipated with the commotion.

This means that the battle is finally over.

"Hey, you devil!!" Kurama turned around, a hint of annoyance in his fox eyes. "You bastard, you can't beat me, so you resort to these underhanded tricks to sabotage me, huh?"

Among the nine tailed beasts, it has always been recognized as the strongest, and therefore it has become a thorn in the side of most of the tailed beasts, especially the weakest one, who is the most hated.

The bull demon tilted his head suspiciously, as if seriously recalling when he had used such underhanded tactics: "Kurama, what are you talking about?"

"Heh," Kurama sneered, "If all else fails, how about we have a fight, you demon?"

The demon shook his head, refusing decisively.

It wasn't that it was afraid of Kurama; it just found it boring. It started fighting as soon as it came out and hadn't even had enough of the scenery yet.

Sun Wukong was also affected by the bull demon's moves, and felt somewhat annoyed.

But it didn't say anything, mainly because it was afraid that Nine-Tailed Fox would bring up the "number of tails" again to criticize it, as that guy loved to use that as a point of contention.

Ron was already lying on the ground, limbs outstretched, as if he could finally relax and catch his breath.

His gaze fell on the hazy sky, and he suddenly murmured, "It seems... something's missing?"

He paused, then sat up abruptly and spat out a sound, not meaning anything, as some dirt had landed in his mouth.

"With Kaido gone... it seems much quieter. If he were here, and we won by now, wouldn't he be humming that off-key tune?"

"Hehehe... After not seeing him for a while, I suddenly miss his chatter."

His biggest takeaway from this trip was that he finally confirmed one thing: Im's black mist control had no effect on him.

suddenly.

He and the Nine Lamas simultaneously sensed a strong malice coming from the west.

"Whoosh~~~"

Without the slightest hesitation, Kurama unleashed several Tailed Beast Balls, which flew straight in that direction.

"What?" the bull demon asked in surprise. "The enemy is here again?"

"Probably," Kurama replied, and then fired a few more Tailed Beast Balls.

Ushi-oni and Sun Wukong then took turns firing, launching Tailed Beast Balls one after another, creating a dense barrage in the air.

far away.

Lingling's Observation Haki suddenly went off on high alert.

Almost instinctively, she dodged to the side, and a Tailed Beast Ball of moderate size whistled past her shoulder, carrying a scorching stream of air, and exploded not far behind her.

Lingling was slightly taken aback. Why did this thing look so familiar?

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~"

The next moment, she was completely stunned.

What flew towards her was a dense barrage of Tailed Beast Balls, as if someone were pouring beans at her.

Without much thought, Lingling took off running.

But as she ran, she realized something was wrong. This was definitely not a coincidence; it was aimed at her.

........

At the same time, Ron leaped up and landed steadily on Kurama's forehead.

The moment he landed, he clearly felt Kurama's body tremble slightly.

"Damn Ron, why did you stand on my forehead for no reason?" Kurama suddenly complained irritably.

"Is it really that big of a deal? This is enough to scare you?" Ron said, glancing down at it.

"You...you don't need to worry about it." Nine-Ra's voice was muffled. There was nothing else to it. Just as Ron landed on his forehead, it suddenly remembered a red-eyed 'old friend'.

Then, without saying much, it simply started launching Tailed Beast Balls again.

Ron stood on its forehead, his gaze piercing through the swirling dust, looking westward.

Soon, he saw the figure fleeing frantically, long pink hair flying backward as she ran, her body nimbly weaving through the dust and smoke.

"Lingling?"

Ron froze for a moment, then almost instinctively shouted, "Hey, stop! We're on the same side! We're on the same side!"

own people?

Both the Ox-Demon and Sun Wukong stopped firing at the same time, exchanged a glance, and spoke almost simultaneously: "It has nothing to do with me."

Nine-Lama paused slightly, then slowly said, "Impossible, Ron, you've been fooled by her! I can sense an incredibly strong malice emanating from her; this woman is no good."

Ron fell into deep thought.

Such intense malice suggests there is only one truth.

That means Lingling has been controlled by the Black Transformation.

"Lingling..." Ron's voice was low: "How come even you..."

That feeling of loss was like a spreading gray layer, seeping from the corner of his eyes.

"Tap tap tap~~~"

After the bombardment of the Tailed Beast Balls stopped, a figure quickly swept past in the dust.

As she approached Kurama, she suddenly leaped up, her Napoleon sword shrouded in Conqueror's Haki.

"Hey, Ron, she's here. You don't mind if I shoot her, right?" Nine-Ra's voice carried a hint of urgency.

"Ron?"

Lingling, who had leaped high into the air, suddenly stopped in her tracks when she saw the familiar figure on the fox's head.

The Conqueror's Haki receded like the tide, and Napoleon's blade fell to the ground.

She put away her knife.

Ron was taken aback. She seemed perfectly normal and didn't appear to be being controlled.

"Oh my god, it's really you!" Lingling's face instantly lit up with a bright smile. Then, she opened her arms and pounced straight at Ron from mid-air.

Nine-Lama's fox eyes narrowed slightly. It extended its front paw and flicked Lingling, who was falling, with precise force, just enough to send her flying.

"Boom~~~"

Lingling was bounced to the ground.

Nine-Lama withdrew his front paws, crossed his arms over his chest, and suddenly explained, "I felt she was up to something."

Of course, what they were thinking was, "Whatever your status, you want to stand on my forehead!"

"......."

Ron, of course, had no idea what Nine-Ra was thinking; he just felt that Nine-Ra was being a little too cautious.

On the ground, Lingling sprang to her feet with a sit-up, dusted herself off, and shouted at Ron on the fox's head, "Ron, what is that thing? It hit me!"

She suddenly seemed to remember something, her gaze sharpening, and her tone instantly changed: "Fine, Ron, you bastard, you were the one attacking me just now, weren't you?!"
