Kamui. Databook: Jin no Sho evaluation: "An eye in the divine realm, transcending causality and the horizon."
Databook: Sha no Sho evaluation: "A different dimension within the line of sight, a dazzling and chaotic spatial dōjutsu."
The vortex brewed an intense suction storm, crashing down. Shizuku and Uvogin, who were almost right next to Sean, were sucked into the different dimension in an instant.
"Uvogin! Shizuku!" Nobunaga was farther away. He swung his katana straight down, "Puchi!" stabbing it into the floorboards. He used the resistance to fight against Kamui's suction. But how could a mere katana resist a space-time ninjutsu that could even break Madara's Truth-Seeking Orbs?
"Schwing!" The floorboards were torn open. Nobunaga flew backward, along with the katana in his hand, and vanished into the vortex.
"Thud! Thud! Thud!" Three figures crashed down one after another.
The different dimension, densely packed with towering stone monuments, appeared before them. Uvogin smashed his fists together, his eyes bright as he looked ahead.
A wild laugh erupted. "Kamui?"
"Sean Zoldyck, you can't trap me with just dōjutsu!"
"Be careful, Uvogin. Try not to make eye contact with him!" Nobunaga landed on his feet. He swung his blade, slicing off a piece of cloth from his loose-fitting martial arts uniform. He tied it over his eyes, relying solely on [En] to act as his vision, sensing Sean's aura. He had successfully avoided the possibility of being caught in a genjutsu.
It was clear he had done his research.
Space rippled. Sean's figure appeared. He glanced at Nobunaga, then looked at Uvogin and Shizuku with a smile. "Saa... now no one will interrupt."
The implication was: if you want to capture me, now's the time!
"Oh..." Shizuku pushed up the black-framed glasses on her nose. She turned her head to look at Uvogin and suddenly asked, "Why are we fighting him?"
Uvogin and Nobunaga: "..."
Damn! A fish's memory is only seven seconds, but yours isn't even seven seconds, is it? When a severe amnesiac has an episode, it really doesn't matter the time or place!
"Dong!" Stomping hard on a stone monument, Uvogin shot skyward, raising his massive fist and aiming a punch right at Sean's head!
"Haha... because he's the target, Ben An, that we're supposed to capture!"
"Oh..." Shizuku gripped Blinky, realization dawning. As she reacted, the wind from the punch lifted her bangs, revealing the smooth, tender skin beneath.
"Don't just stand there." At that moment, a flash of steel streaked past. Nobunaga followed closely behind Uvogin, brushing past Shizuku, and thrust his sword toward Sean's abdomen. Though his eyes were covered, it didn't affect the swordsman's execution of the thrust. With a flick of his ponytail, Nobunaga didn't forget to remind Shizuku, "Together!"
Shizuku said "oh," then suddenly frowned and blurted out, "Um, I don't think I can move..."
The girl suddenly shivered and looked down.
"Kaka-kaka..." A wisp of cold air blew past. An ice that chilled deep into the bone marrow had appeared at her feet at some unknown time. It crawled up her pant legs, instantly freezing her into an ice sculpture!
"Shizuku!" Uvogin and Nobunaga heard the sound and were startled. They looked back.
A light laugh immediately followed, floating by their ears.
"What a touching bond... Since you care about her so much, why don't you go down and join her..."
The cold air circled and blew back. Sean's figure had vanished at some point. When he reappeared, he brushed past Uvogin and Nobunaga.
Frost formed on their eyebrows. Their eyes widened. "Kaka-kaka..." Following Shizuku, they too were frozen into ice sculptures!
"Ice Time... This is that Admiral Kuzan's ability... I get it..."
"Sean Zoldyck, you guy can manifest the abilities from your own manga..."
The intermittent voice became Nobunaga's final swan song.
Sean materialized, exhaling a puff of cold air. He suddenly slammed his large hand onto the top of Nobunaga's head. The ice sculpture shattered. The samurai, right in front of Uvogin and Shizuku, was dismembered into eight pieces!
"Nobunaga! Sean, I'll kill you!"
"Boom!" The immense Nen from his dual limit breaks erupted. Uvogin desperately shattered the ice and charged at Sean, his fist raised. "Super Destruction Fist!"
The fist, burning with the will to die, burst forth with unprecedented light, faintly stinging Sean's eyes.
Sean gave Uvogin a surprised look. He stood still, letting Uvogin's punch come at him. He extended his own fist, meeting it.
"Dong!" A muffled thunderclap exploded!
Uvogin, who had used all his strength and charged with the will to die, was sent flying, bones cracking and blood spitting. He hadn't even managed to budge Sean's fist. He smashed heavily onto Shizuku.
"Kacha!" Shizuku, hit by the powerful impact, shattered into pieces.
Her head rolled, her eyes staring straight at Uvogin, unable to rest in peace.
Uvogin was heavily injured, coughing up blood. The bones in his right fist were protruding. Ignoring everything else, he struggled to get up. Unexpectedly, a large foot descended from the sky, firmly planting on his head.
"You guys are too weak... so weak I can't even get interested."
Looking down on Uvogin, Sean pressed down lightly with his right foot.
"Pop!" Uvogin's head burst.
His body, which he had been so proud of, twitched powerlessly a few times before finally falling still.

'A little two-point improvement every day.' Wiping the blood off his shoe on Uvogin's corpse, the "Sage's" notification sound came.
As the unlock progress advanced, Sean's body seemed to grow slightly taller again. His physical stats, as well as his understanding and development of the Ice-Ice Fruit, rose to another level.
And just then...

"Hmm... an extra two percent, but it doesn't seem like much of a change."
His gaze fixed on the attribute value column. Sean noted that "Strength," "Speed," and "Aura" had only increased slightly, and he raised an eyebrow.
Their minds connected, "Sage" promptly jumped out to give Sean the answer—
[Host's constitution is already on par with an Admiral. The remaining unlock progress will focus on deepening the understanding of Haki and the development of the Devil Fruit ability.]
'So that's how it is.'
