"One man is enough to take you down, Moria!" Jinbe roared.
"Then fight me, Jinbe! Let's see who comes out on top!"
Moria's laughter rang out as his power grew darker. "But don't forget—as long as I'm here, I can summon endless zombies!"
"Do you really think you can beat me on land?"
Suddenly, the Marines noticed something strange—their shadows were slipping away. Before they could react, Moria snatched them up in his hands.
"Come! Be my strength, shadows of the Marines!"
With one snip of his giant scissors, the shadows severed from their bodies. The Marines collapsed instantly while Moria absorbed their darkness, his figure swelling larger and larger. His aura burst outward in a violent shockwave that made the entire Marineford quake.
"He's growing bigger!"
But Jinbe's voice rang out steady and calm. "Even if you grow stronger by stealing others' shadows, that power isn't truly yours, Moria."
"Shut up! Die already!"
Moria's enormous scissors split in two, swinging like twin blades. The very air twisted around each swing, raw force radiating from his strikes.
"Your shadow will be mine, Jinbe! I'll trap you in darkness forever!"
Jinbe braced himself.
Moria's first strike came crashing down. Jinbe's speed was blinding—he sidestepped in an instant, the blade slamming into the ground and shaking the earth.
Another slash carved through the air, but Jinbe slipped past with ease.
Moria's frenzy grew, blade after blade cutting through nothing but empty air.
"You're fast… but let's see you dodge forever!"
But Jinbe's counter finally came.
"Fishman Karate…"
"Shark Skin Palm Strike!!!"
The air itself rippled with the impact, a shockwave blasting outward from Jinbe's palm.
BOOM!
Moria's massive body shuddered as part of it caved inward. He staggered back, roaring in pain.
Jinbe didn't let up. Leaping high, he gathered swirling force into his fist.
"Shark Brick Fist!!!"
The concentrated vortex slammed into Moria's chest, tearing through him with spiraling energy. Blood sprayed from Moria's mouth as the stolen shadows burst free, scattering into the air.
His screams echoed before his enormous body collapsed to the ground.
Jinbe exhaled calmly. "Swallowing shadows you can't control… You've still got a long way to go, Moria."
Without sparing him another glance, Jinbe charged forward.
In the World of One Piece
"Jinbe's incredible! No wonder he's a Warlord!"
Luffy's eyes sparkled. "Man, if only Jinbe would join my crew…"
Zoro rested a hand on his swords, his fighting spirit flaring. "To take down a fellow Warlord in just a few moves… He's the real deal."
Sanji took a long drag on his cigarette, blowing out a cloud of smoke. "The Warlords really are monsters, every single one of them."
Usopp nodded quickly in agreement.
In the World of Naruto
"His technique just now… It's like the Daytime Tiger. Pure taijutsu compressing air into a shockwave. That man's a true powerhouse."
Might Guy clenched his fists, eyes gleaming. "I'd love the chance to test myself against him someday!"
Lee stood frozen in awe. "Amazing… He didn't even need to open the Eight Gates to unleash that kind of force with pure martial skill…"
Guy threw his arm around Lee with a grin. "Lee, this is youth! Come! Let's show our spirit—thirty laps around the village!"
Kakashi smacked his forehead."Man, these guys have way too much energy! Still… the powers from this other world really are incredible."
Neji Hyuga had already activated his Byakugan, veins flaring around his eyes as he tracked Jinbei's chakra flow and tenketsu.
"The technique that fighter used looks almost like Gentle Fist. That move earlier that twisted space… it reminded me of the clan records on the Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm."
He clenched his fists, eyes narrowing."So many strong people out there… If I want to stand as Konoha's strongest, I need to train even harder. One day, I'll take on those people from other worlds."
Hinata's cheeks burned as she stared at the screen."I… I know Naruto-kun will definitely show up on that list of champions too!"
Cardcaptor Sakura's World
"They can fight without magic cards? That's… that's amazing!"
Running toward school with her staff bouncing at her side, Sakura kept glancing up at the projection, her beautiful face filled with shock.
"And everyone in that world looks so scary!"
Meanwhile, Luffy charged forward at full speed—when suddenly a blur of white smoke slashed across his path. The weapon in the man's hand slammed straight into Luffy's face, knocking him through the air.
"Gah! That hurt! Wait… you're Smoke Guy!"
Luffy steadied himself, rubbing his cheek.
"I've been waiting for this moment, Straw Hat."
But Ivankov was already tangled up in a fierce clash with Bartholomew Kuma, completely unable to come to Luffy's aid.
Luffy glared at his opponent."That weapon's tipped with seastone. I'll have to be careful."
"Damn it! Gear Second!!"
A purple haze of steam burst from his body as his blood roared. His aura exploded outward like a storm.
"Gomu Gomu no… Jet Gatling!!"
Hundreds of fists blurred into existence, so fast the very air twisted.
But the blows passed straight through—Smoker's body dissolved into clouds wherever the punches landed.
"White Launcher!"
Smoker's lower half became a billowing storm of smoke, rocketing him skyward with blinding speed.
"Tch—he's stronger than before!"
With a sharp whoosh, Luffy vanished from sight.
"Fast! Where'd he—?!" Smoker scanned wildly, but Luffy was already right in front of him, fists raining down like a hurricane.
Smoker darted through the storm, his body scattering into streams of smoke that howled past Luffy like raging dragons. They slammed into him one after another, hurling him backward.
The smoke reformed, drawing back into Smoker's shape."Looks like we've both gotten stronger, Straw Hat."
"Hyah!"
Smoker's jitte stabbed forward like thunder from the heavens, slamming into Luffy's neck and sending him crashing through the battlefield with a roar.
He appeared again in an instant, driving the seastone weapon into Luffy's side. The scream that tore out of Luffy echoed across the field.
The Marines erupted in shock."Commodore Smoker just overwhelmed Straw Hat in one strike!"
"You'll never beat me," Smoker declared coldly. "Now I understand why Dragon saved you back in Loguetown. He interfered before… but this time, there's no escape."
"D…damn it…" Luffy wheezed.
And then a woman's voice cut through, calm and sharp."Let go of him. Now."
A long, flawless leg whipped out of nowhere and sent Smoker flying.
He staggered upright, disbelief written all over his face."You actually managed to hit me—even in smoke form?!"
The onlookers gasped."It's… the world's most beautiful woman, Pirate Empress Boa Hancock!"
Her gorgeous face burned with fury."Smoker, how dare you strike down the man I love and pin him to the ground!"
Her voice trembled with rage."I've never been this angry in my life. I will not let you live!"
"Cough—Hancock!" Luffy managed, struggling to stand.
"Kuja Haki…" Smoker muttered, realization dawning.
"Luffy! You called my name again…" Hancock's cheeks turned crimson, her prideful face softening with girlish shyness.
Meanwhile, Doflamingo's mocking laughter rang out elsewhere—news spreading that Kuma was already dead, transformed into nothing but a weapon. Ivankov's horrified scream split the air."Dead?!"
"..."
