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

"Click click~~~"

The eerie sound emanated again from the dark tentacle, accompanied by a grating, scraping sound like bones shifting, before it plunged into Ron's body once more.

"Dark to Domination!"

Access has been denied!

"Dark to Domination!"

Access has been denied!

"Dark to Domination!"

[The system detected a user attempting to forcibly access the site and has executed a cleanup command.]

The moment the command was given, the black tentacles piercing Ron's body froze abruptly, then, starting from their tips, shattered into fine dust, like ashes scattered by the wind, leaving not a trace.

"Whoosh!"

Without hesitation, Lingling swung her sword at the same moment the tentacles shattered. Napoleon, imbued with domineering aura, precisely slashed at the slowly writhing black mist behind Ron.

The blade struck with a muffled thud, and the black mist was violently flung away, slamming into the inner wall of the golden nine-tailed fox demon. Like a flattened shadow, it slowly slid down the wall.

"Hey, Ron!"

Lingling's voice was unusually urgent. Her gaze swept over Ron's back, then over his stiff body: "Are you alright?"

She saw the tentacle stab him twice, but disturbingly, there was no blood, no wound.

"Boom~~~"

At the same time, five enormous figures descended from the sky, falling heavily from five directions and surrounding the golden nine-tailed fox demon.

The ground shook violently the moment they landed, and concentric circles of dust spread outwards.

Five pairs of scarlet eyes lit up in the dim light, like five pairs of deep lanterns, locking onto the same target.

Ron didn't move. His body remained in the same position as before, as if he had been nailed there by something invisible. After a few seconds of silence, he finally recovered from his lingering fear.

Then he laughed.

"Hehehe~~~~"

The initial laughter was very soft, like a breath of air accidentally leaking from deep in the throat.

Then the sound gradually grew louder and louder, becoming increasingly out of control.

"Hehehehehehe~~~"

"Hahahaha~~~~~"

Ron laughed so hard he tilted his head back, his shoulders shaking violently. His laughter echoed through the ruins, creating a chilling sound.

Standing next to him, Lingling looked at him like this and involuntarily took a small step back.

Her eyes held a fear that she rarely showed.

Yes, it is fear, but not the kind of fear of an enemy. It's the kind of fear that comes with seeing a familiar person suddenly become a stranger, a fear of not knowing how to get closer.

"Ron...don't do this...I'm scared." Lingling's voice lowered.

But Ron's laughter didn't stop. He still tilted his head back and slowly spread his hands.

"Hehehehehehehe~~~~"

Ron's laughter continued until Lingling's fingers unconsciously tightened around the knife handle.

Just as the golden nine-tailed fox demon's figure suddenly vanished, she lost her balance and plummeted downwards. The next second, a chakra arm emerged from Ron's body and precisely grabbed her waist.

They eventually fell to the ground together.

"Ron, you can't escape now," the skeleton horse said in a deep voice.

The moment the sound faded, Ron's laughter abruptly stopped. He slowly lowered his head, his gaze sweeping over the five enormous figures around him before finally settling on the empty, bony face of the skeletal horse.

"escape?"

"Who?"

"Where can we escape to?"

"Why did you run away?!"

Ron's words grew louder with each utterance, until the last one was practically a shout.

The moment he finished speaking, a terrifying shockwave exploded from Ron's body.

Then, the shockwave roared outwards from him, tearing up layers of the ground and pushing rubble and dust far away, carving a wide and deep circular trench between the ruins.

Golden chakra enveloped his entire body, Nine-Tails Mode activated. Blue steam burst forth from his skin, the Seventh Gate of the Eight Gates, the Gate of Shock, opened. Orange eyeshadow appeared at the corners of his eyes, and his aura became thick and long, Sage Mode activated simultaneously.

The three powers erupted simultaneously in that instant, weaving together into a flowing halo on Ron's body, like some kind of armor taking shape.

He stood there, his feet planted firmly on the cracked ground. The wind swirled around him, carrying a scorching heat, stirring up dust and sand, which then fell silently back down.

He slowly raised his gaze, a bizarre smile curving his lips: "From this day forward, the roles of offense and defense have reversed..."

Then, Ron turned his head to look at Lingling beside him, his tone softening: "Lingling, you go first."

Lingling's gaze darkened slightly. She didn't loosen her grip on Napoleon's hand. After a moment of silence, she said, "Don't order me around, Ron. After all, I asked you to come. I'd feel bad if you just left like this."

"Hehehe..." Ron chuckled softly before slowly replying, "They can't kill me. Your presence here will only hinder me."

What is that?

Does it affect you?

Lingling was a little annoyed; this guy really looked down on his own abilities.

"I refuse," Lingling said in a deep voice.

Ron didn't reply, he just stared at Lingling.

After a brief standoff, Lingling sighed softly, turned around, and said as she walked away, "Okay, don't call me to come help you later."

"Trying to leave?"

The skeletal horse's deep voice rolled down from the tall skeleton, "None of you will leave. No one on this island will leave."

As soon as it finished speaking, its body suddenly contracted, its bones reorganized, and its shape changed, transforming into a human-beast form in an instant.

His upper body is human, and his lower body is a skeletal horse.

The black blade flipped in its hand, its surface wreathed in surging dark energy, while purple-spotted flames slowly rose along its back.

"Whoosh~"

The skeletal horse, in its human-beast form, swiftly slashed down towards Lingling, its blade cutting through the air with a muffled shriek.

"Whoosh~"

At the same time, a sonic boom exploded in the air, as if something had torn space apart.

A fierce gale surged outwards along the edge of the aftershocks.

When Ron appeared in front of Lingling, he had already leaped high into the air, slightly turning his body in mid-air, with an enormous golden chakra arm extending from behind his right arm. The size of that arm even surpassed that of the skeleton horse in its human-beast form.

Then, Ron swung his sword fiercely.

"Boom~~~"

The shockwave, accompanied by a violent sonic boom, roared forward like a giant wave that had been compressed to its limit and was suddenly released.
