Within the range of Conqueror's Haki, the positions of the Limbo Clones were completely under Ashveil's control.
Every movement they made was perfectly perceived by his Conqueror's Haki.
Yet, Ashveil did not move.
There was no reason to.
These Limbo Clones could not harm him in the slightest.
Why should he concern himself with such trivial tricks?
Madara's main body transformed his Truth-Seeking Orbs into pitch-black rods and hurled them forward at extreme speed.
The attack synchronized flawlessly with his Limbo Clones, striking Ashveil from multiple directions at once.
Across the Shinobi World, countless people gasped in fear.
They had suffered horribly from that very attack in the past.
If those rods pierced Ashveil's body, even someone as strong as him would surely be suppressed.
After all, those terrifying black rods had once restrained even the Tailed Beasts.
"If Madara goes all out, he might actually win!"
"That's right! This is Uchiha Madara, the man who once battled the entire Shinobi World alone. He truly deserves the title of the strongest!"
Yet, in the face of Madara's relentless assault, Ashveil remained completely calm.
In the next instant, shock flashed across Madara's eyes.
Every single attack had missed.
His Limbo Clones collided with an invisible wall of pressure before they could reach Ashveil.
The black rods shattered the moment they touched Ashveil's Conqueror's Haki barrier.
This was impossible.
Madara stood frozen in disbelief.
Ashveil had not even lifted a finger, yet pure repulsion had destroyed everything.
For the first time in ages, Madara did not know how to proceed.
Might Guy narrowed his eyes from afar.
He was far too familiar with that kind of defensive pressure.
"Not even my Taijutsu can break through that defense. Even Madara's Truth-Seeking Orbs are useless. Just what is this man named Ashveil?"
Kakashi kept his Sharingan active, analyzing every detail, yet he could find nothing concrete.
All he could confirm was that this defense was absolute.
Gaara felt an even heavier shock.
Compared to Ashveil's defense, his own sand shield felt laughable.
"My absolute defense is nothing but a joke next to his," Gaara muttered with a bitter smile.
Naruto scratched his head in disbelief.
"I never imagined someone this terrifying could exist."
"If Madara falls… who in this world could possibly stop Ashveil?"
"If Madara fails, I'll stake my life to fight him myself!"
Madara's expression grew colder.
"Ninjutsu and Taijutsu cannot break this defense."
"What kind of power is capable of such absolute protection?"
As a seasoned warrior, Madara quickly shifted his strategy.
He decided to absorb Ashveil's power.
At the same time, a massive fist formed high in the sky, shaped entirely from Conqueror's Haki.
Through his Rinnegan, Madara vaguely perceived its terrifying silhouette.
Raising both hands, he attempted to absorb that overwhelming force.
The tension in the Naruto World momentarily eased.
They all remembered how devastating Madara's absorption ability had once been.
"Madara, you have to win this!"
But Shikamaru's expression darkened.
"No… He may not be able to absorb power from another world."
Madara soon realized it himself.
The absorption failed completely.
An unimaginable pressure bore down on him.
Fear, something he had long forgotten, crept into his heart.
Enraged, Six Paths power surged through his body as his Perfect Susanoo emerged.
The earth trembled beneath every step he took.
Drawing his massive blade, Madara slashed upward at the descending Conqueror's Haki fist.
The sky itself seemed to spark from the friction.
A terrifying collision followed.
At first, the two forces held each other back.
Then Ashveil's fist pushed forward.
Watching this, Ashveil's lips curved with faint disdain.
"Do you want to dance, Uchiha Madara?"
Madara's eyes widened.
That was his line.
Humiliation burned through him.
"I am Uchiha Madara!"
But his roar changed nothing.
His sword energy shattered.
Ashveil's giant Haki fist smashed directly into the Perfect Susanoo.
With a thunderous crash, the towering armor split cleanly in half.
The sound of shattered bones echoed across the battlefield.
The Shinobi World fell into dead silence.
Uchiha Madara had been crushed in an instant.
"Is this Ashveil a monster?"
"Madara, who once fought the entire Shinobi World, was defeated just like that?"
Naruto stood frozen, unable to breathe.
Even combining the entire Shinobi World would not be enough to oppose Ashveil.
Gaara felt the same despair.
Shikamaru abandoned all thoughts of strategy.
"In front of him, we would all be erased instantly."
From the Pirate World, shock spread like wildfire.
"Is this truly Ashveil's power?"
"That is the strength of a god."
"No wonder even Imu herself fell before him."
Among the Red Hair Pirates, Kid collapsed into his seat.
"This is impossible… This is real power?"
Even Hawkins went pale after performing a divination.
"The power he just used was only one-thousandth of his true strength."
Silence followed.
Even Shanks felt his grip tremble on Griffon.
"He defeated Madara without effort," Beckman muttered.
In Dressrosa, Luffy and his crew stared at the sky in disbelief.
"Zoro… Nami… Is that man real?"
Sanji's cigarette slipped from his lips.
Nami sank weakly to the ground.
Dragon could only shake his head in despair.
"I can never reach him… not in ten lifetimes."
Above the battlefield, violent shockwaves tore through the air, carving a massive crater into the ground.
At the final moment, the space-time pendulum activated and pulled Madara away from certain death.
Disoriented, Madara roared, "What ninjutsu was that?"
Ashveil looked down at him coldly.
"A frog at the bottom of a well."
"This is not Ninjutsu."
"This is called Conqueror's Haki."
In the next instant, the space-time pendulum returned Madara to the Naruto World.
The ancient voice echoed across all realms:
[The winner is Thorne Ashveil of the Pirate World.]
