Starting with the Uchiha clan, they began cultivating demonic arts.

Chapter 292 Resurrection

Although the Sea Kings did not cause any harm to Wano Country, the so-called natural defenses of Wano Country completely disappeared when the leading giant Sea Kings approached.

Besides Hancock, who launched the attack immediately, Shirahoshi, Momousagi, Nami, Vivi, Michita, Tina, and the rest of the group also stepped on giant sea kings, ignoring the natural defenses of Wano Country, and directly entered Wano Country.

Behind these officers were mermaids, female marines, and Amazons, whose minimum strength was at least a vice admiral. The group of women, like tigers among sheep, charged directly onto the land of Wano Country.

Because they no longer needed to swim upstream from the waterfall, the scope of their attack naturally expanded considerably. Hancock's Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability directly triggered a tsunami in the Wano Country Sea, completely disrupting the defense line that was originally composed of a large number of pirates.

"She really doesn't hold back, as expected of the Pirate Empress!"

With a dashing voice, Shanks, the Red-Haired Pirates, led his crew to block Hancock's path. Both the Tremor-Tremor Fruit and the Love-Love Fruit are considered killers of grunts and strong individuals. Apart from the Red-Haired Pirates, who are known as an iron wall and have average strength, any other pirate crew facing Hancock would probably only have three to five members left after just one exchange.

"It's you again!"

Hancock's face showed a hint of disgust:

"You're like a persistent leech, never giving up. This time, I'll turn you and your pirate crew to stone!"

"Sweet and refreshing!"

A pink light flashed rapidly, and Shanks' expression changed. He himself certainly didn't care about Hancock's Love-Love Fruit, but his own crew members might not be so. Even the so-called Iron Wall Pirates weren't without members who dragged them down.

The terrifying Conqueror's Haki erupted instantly, and the pitch-black lightning collided with the pink light. Although both were ethereal, they created an earth-shaking effect in an instant, even shaking the sea.

"...You blocked the sweet breeze with your domineering aura... You really surprised me!"

A look of surprise finally appeared on Hancock's face. Although Haki can suppress Devil Fruit abilities, that refers to using one's own excess Haki to become immune to Devil Fruit abilities. Directly using Haki to block a rule-based Devil Fruit ability like this is beyond Hancock's understanding of Haki.

However, Shanks is also known for his mastery of Haki among the Four Emperors, and can be considered the strongest Haki user in the world. Although Hancock was surprised by what he did, it also made sense.

"Don't huddle together, be careful of her Devil Fruit abilities, try to surround and attack her..."

Before Shanks could finish assigning the tasks, Hancock on the other side let out a cold laugh:

"Are you kidding me? Do you think there are a lot of you?!"

"Overall, we have the advantage now! Charge!"

Right behind Hancock, Nami, dozens of Amazonian warriors, Monet (the Snow-Snow Fruit user), Baby 5 (the Weapon-Weapon Fruit user), and dozens of maids from Dressrosa also charged out.

Both Monet and Baby 5 possess a powerful Devil Fruit. After being strengthened by Touma Uchiha, they have almost reached the level of a Yonko commander. As for Nami, she is even more formidable. As one of the earliest followers of Touma Uchiha, with the power of three Devil Fruits, she is in no way inferior to Hancock.

"Hancock, you... don't boss me around like that!"

Nami coldly said something, and the lightning in her hand was electromagnetically bound, transforming into a terrifying plasma lightning ball that smashed directly towards the opponent.

A blinding beam of light rose from the sea, causing the entire inland sea of ​​Wano Country to boil. Moments later, the light disappeared, revealing Shanks, holding a long sword and panting heavily.

"The Rumble-Rumble Fruit, as expected of a near-invincible Logia-type Devil Fruit, its power is abnormally strong..."

The relaxed look on Shanks' face vanished completely; even when facing the combined attack of Hancock and Nami, he felt extremely strained.

Fortunately, there are many strong members in the Red-Haired Pirates, and his first mate, Bemank, is even more famous. He is not much weaker than Shanks and immediately went to meet Nami.

The Red-Haired Pirates also confronted the group of women without hesitation, and the two sides immediately engaged in a fierce battle, which escalated rapidly in a short period of time.

Not only the Red-Haired Pirates, but also the Charlotte Pirates and the Beasts Pirates did their utmost. With the influx of a large number of powerful female warriors, the entire Wano Country's inland sea was almost turned into a mess. Terrifying energy continued to erupt, causing the inland sea to surge and the sea level to drop by three or four meters.

Shirahoshi faced Charlotte Linlin again, but this time she had Princess Vivi, a dual Devil Fruit user, to help her, so she wasn't at a disadvantage in the battle. Momousagi faced Kaido again, and this time both of them transformed into their half-beast forms, which allowed Momousagi to unleash more of her strength.

Compared to Kaido, although Momousagi's Devil Fruit ability has been developed to be more powerful with the help of the Future Life Sutra and the power of faith, she is actually not at all suited to fighting in her dragon form. In this respect, Kaido, who has been eating the Blue Dragon Fruit for decades, is more familiar with it.

However, when transformed into her half-beast form, Momousagi's accumulated mastery of swordsmanship can be fully unleashed, making her combat power more than one or two times stronger than in her dragon form.

Although the strongest form of a Zoan-type Devil Fruit user is the half-beast form, which combines the agility of a human with the strength of a beast, and even Kaido is much stronger in his half-dragon form than in his dragon form, Momousagi still demonstrated greater strength, completely making up for her initial disadvantage.

As for the officers of the Four Emperors' pirate crews, they also faced off against elites such as Tina and Michita, and the battle between the two sides was fierce.

Although the people in Wano Country had been beaten so badly their brains were practically turned to dog brains, Uchiha Touya sat comfortably atop the giant sea king, showing no intention of making a move.

Since their side hadn't fallen behind, Uchiha Touyu simply let them train. The Netherworld White Bone Banner in his hand was still absorbing the souls and blood of the dead, constantly growing stronger.

"The battle is getting increasingly intense..."

Uchiha Touyu sighed, then casually intercepted a soul, filling it with endless blood energy, and instantly forming a physical body.

The resurrected naval girl rolled over, raised her head, and looked completely bewildered:

"My lord... what's wrong with me... I remember I was dead, wasn't I?"

"You died, and I resurrected you. It's that simple."

Uchiha Touyu said calmly, "For those who are stronger, death is more ambiguous. This ambiguity applies not only to the person themselves but also to others."

For ordinary people, a fatal injury to the physical body is certain death. But for some powerful individuals, even a severe injury that would kill an ordinary person is just a minor injury. And for someone like Uchiha Touyu, who is at the level of a celestial being or demon, as long as the soul is not damaged, resurrection is not a difficult task.

In some high-end fantasy world, even with Uchiha Touyu's cultivation level, it would be difficult for him to resurrect someone. Not to mention figures like the Black and White Impermanence or the Hell Reincarnation, who specialize in managing life and death, even if he were to resurrect someone, most of their potential would probably be wasted.

After all... in some worlds, the physical bodies of humans who can cultivate are extremely sophisticated, something that Uchiha Touya couldn't create—a physical body with limitless potential.

However, in the world of One Piece, there's no need to consider so much. The creatures in this world are rather crude, belonging to the big, clumsy, and rough type, and they don't have any sophisticated cultivation systems. For Uchiha Touyu, creating this kind of physical body is quite easy.

The resurrected naval girl quickly regained her senses. She first clenched her fist. This body was exactly the same as her previous one, with no difference in strength or reaction ability. It might even be healthier and more energetic—after all, it was a fresh body without any wear and tear.

A black aura of dominance emerged in the girl's hands, and she could use it without any hindrance. The girl finally accepted the reality that she had been resurrected from the dead.

A cold wind blew by, making her feel chilly all over. The navy girl lowered her head and realized that she was now completely naked after being resurrected. However, she didn't scream much—there was only Uchiha Touyu, a man she had a close relationship with before, and the rest were all women, so she didn't care.

"Go change your clothes! You can continue fighting if you want, or you can rest for a day."

Upon hearing Uchiha Tou's instructions, the navy girl bowed and then ran directly into the palace to change her clothes.

Half an hour later, another soul with a familiar aura flew in from the sky. Uchiha Touyu, who was holding the Netherworld White Bone Banner, chuckled and shook the banner again. The soul was resurrected as a large amount of blood and energy condensed.

Compared to the more than 100,000 pirates in Wano Country, Uchiha Touyu's side only had less than a thousand female soldiers, each with the strength of a Marine Vice Admiral, so the mortality rate was naturally very low. Uchiha Touyu could take his time to carry out the revival work.

The sun gradually set, and the giant sea king palace had almost become a resurrection fountain. However, so far, only a dozen or so female soldiers have returned to report to Uchiha Tou.

The Netherworld White Bone Banner has absorbed nearly ten thousand souls. In terms of mortality rate, one female soldier can replace at least seven or eight hundred pirates—and these are the highest quality and strongest pirates in the New World.

"It's almost time, let them come back!"

As he planted the Netherworld White Bone Banner, an incredible and terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Uchiha Touya's body. Dark lightning instantly engulfed the giant sea king, spreading far and wide to Wano Country.

What's most terrifying is that this fierce Conqueror's Haki only conveyed the message of retreat to all the female soldiers on Uchiha Tou's side, but when it was applied to all the pirates, it was filled with a terrifying intimidating power, making them weak in the knees and their faces full of fear.

Only pirates at the level of executives of the Four Emperors' pirate crews could face the shock of Conqueror's Haki without any negative reaction. Even so, their faces were full of surprise, and they simply could not imagine how Uchiha Tou had cultivated Conqueror's Haki.

The female soldiers began to retreat slowly, but the pirates did not pursue them. The three Yonko standing at the forefront had serious expressions and were all injured.

Even the strongest of the Four Emperors cannot face two equally powerful opponents. Both Shanks and Charlotte Linlin suffered considerable losses in the battle just now. If it weren't for their assistants Bemank and Katakuri helping them, they might have already been defeated.

Kaido and Momousagi were evenly matched. Although Kaido didn't gain an advantage, he didn't suffer any losses either. However, given that he was at a disadvantage overall, and since his opponent had given him a chance to catch his breath, he wasn't stubborn enough to continue fighting.

Not only is it likely that our side will be defeated if we continue fighting, but more importantly, Uchiha Touya hasn't even made a move yet! If we are foolish enough to provoke the final boss, even Kaido himself doesn't think he can survive.

Only when all the female soldiers left Wano Country and returned to the giant sea king did the remaining pirates breathe a sigh of relief, even the three Yonko.

A moment later, Kaido looked at the new wounds on his body and spoke in a somewhat muffled voice:

"We can't go on like this! We're already weaker than them, and if we keep slowly wearing them down like this, we'll be the ones who die in the end!"

Charlotte Linlin and Shanks remained silent, but did not refute Kaido's words. They were in much worse shape than Kaido in this battle, and both of them still had many wounds on their bodies.

"So what exactly should we do? Break out of Wano Country? I don't want to escape in such a sorry state. Besides, even if we escape, it's just a slow death."

After a long while, Charlotte Linlin whispered something, and Shanks shook his head:

"There's no way to escape... There are more and more Sea Kings outside Wano Country, at least tens of thousands of them, and they have completely surrounded Wano Country. There is no possibility of leaving."

"Besides, as Captain Charlotte said, simply running away like this isn't in my nature!"

"Red-haired brat, looks like you've got some of the aura of a sea emperor after all!"

Kaido slung his spiked club over his shoulder and pulled out a gourd from his waist, intending to take a swig of wine. However, when he put the gourd to his lips, he realized that the wine had already dried up. In the battle just now, Kaido had truly gone all out, and he had naturally already used his drunken mode. The wine was now all gone.

Kaido poured the last few drops of wine from the gourd into his mouth, then casually tossed the gourd aside, a cunning expression appearing on his face.

"In that case, I have a plan that might change the current situation..."
