Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Suddenly, three sharp figures attacked from different directions—three pirate captains of captain-level strength launching a simultaneous assault!
These three individuals each had bounties ranging from five to six hundred million Berries.
Seeing Raiver Sky act so arrogantly, they could no longer hold back and decided to join forces to completely eliminate this rookie who didn't know his place.
Whitebeard crossed his arms and commented, "Facing a three-pronged attack, brute force alone won't suffice. This requires sharp Observation Haki Perception to predict and neutralize this chain of lethal moves."
Shiki: "Gehahaha... This kid's fruit ability is decent, but it seems he shows no signs of mastering Haki, right? Facing attacks imbued with Armament Haki, relying solely on fruit abilities will put him at a huge disadvantage. This is getting interesting."
However, what they didn't know was that Raiver Sky possessed a unique ability called [Space Perception].
[Space Perception] allowed him to understand all changes in his surroundings by sensing subtle fluctuations in space and could foresee dangers from any direction in advance!
This ability, combined with his hundredfold enhanced neural conduction speed—far surpassing that of ordinary people—meant that Raiver Sky's reaction speed now exceeded that of most so-called powerhouses on the seas.
Among the three, a gunner captain skilled in marksmanship was the first to strike!
He fired his specially crafted pistol, sending several bullets imbued with Armament Haki flying at terrifying supersonic speeds toward Raiver Sky's vital points—his forehead and heart.
Raiver Sky's eyes narrowed.
A bizarre scene unfolded!
The bullets, still several meters away from Raiver Sky's body, seemed to hit an invisible mirror.
Their trajectories abruptly shifted, reversing along their original paths and shooting back toward the gunner captain!
[Void Reflection] utilized space to create a refractive field in front of him, causing incoming attacks to rebound along their original trajectories!
"What?!" The gunner captain was shocked. Relying on the Observation Haki honed through years of life-and-death battles, he barely managed to twist his body at the last moment, the bullets grazing past his ear and ribs.
He broke out in a cold sweat: "Damn it! What kind of bizarre ability is this?!"
But at that moment, an irresistible gravitational force instantly locked onto him!
"Argh!" Before he could fully react, his entire body was violently dragged toward Raiver Sky by a massive pulling force!
"Not good! Save me! This kid is going to use the same move he used on Zaos!" The gunner captain's face paled as he urgently called out to his companions.
The other two captains—a burly man wielding a giant axe and a tall, lean swordsman—immediately charged at Raiver Sky from both sides, attempting to force him to release his control over their comrade.
Faced with the pincer attack from left and right, Raiver Sky stood still and silently chanted: Space Imprisonment!
In the next instant,
Hum—
An invisible force field abruptly descended!
The two captains, poised to pounce, suddenly stiffened and were forcibly frozen mid-air.
"Damn it, why can't I move?!"
"Quickly, unleash your Armament Haki to its maximum! Maybe we can break free from this restraint!"
The swordsman captain quickly devised a plan and roared, "After all, Haki reigns supreme—it's the ultimate power that counters all Devil Fruit abilities!"
No sooner said than done!
The three captains (including the one being pulled by gravity) almost simultaneously unleashed their Armament Haki to its maximum limit!
The explosive surge of Haki attempted to shatter the invisible restraints.
It worked!
They felt the solidified space around them loosen slightly.
"It's working! Again! Full power!"
Without holding back, the three once again unleashed their remaining Armament Haki.
Though this method consumed Haki excessively—akin to drinking poison to quench thirst—it was the only escape plan they could conceive in this life-or-death situation.
"As expected, the rules of this world hold true. No matter how powerful a Devil Fruit ability, it will be suppressed by stronger Haki."
Raiver Sky observed the scene intently, murmuring to himself, "Haki... is the true king's way!"
"Since that's the case, I'll eliminate one first." With a thought, Raiver Sky abruptly intensified the gravitational control on the gunner captain.
"Whoosh—!"
The gunner captain, who had been struggling, suddenly accelerated uncontrollably toward Raiver Sky.
Despair filled his eyes as he futilely tried to raise his Haki-infused arms to block.
Raiver Sky raised his right hand high, a shockwave already coalescing around his fist, then delivered a straight punch with overwhelming force!
Bam!
Crack—!
The sound of shattering bones was unmistakable.
The shockwave slammed squarely into the gunner captain's chest, instantly collapsing it. His eyes bulged nearly out of their sockets as his body was sent flying backward, crashing to the ground—dead on impact.
"Bastard!" The remaining two captains were horrified; their comrade's gruesome death left no time for rage.
Their immediate priority was to fully break free while the restraints were loosened!
"Break, damn it!" Their eyes bloodshot with strain, they drained every last drop of Haki from their bodies.
For the last time, they unleashed their strongest Armament Haki at maximum power, making a final, desperate attempt.
Boom!
Under the explosive force of Haki, the invisible Space Imprisonment around them was indeed shattered by the overwhelming energy.
But in doing so, they completely exhausted their reserves of Armament Haki.
Witnessing this, Raiver Sky gave a faint smile, raised his hand, and lightly clenched it toward the two:
"Space Imprisonment!"
An invisible spatial force once again froze the two captains in place.
"No—!!!" Their furious roars of defiance echoed—there could be no more hopeless way to die.
Simultaneously, Raiver Sky raised his clenched right fist high and threw a punch in their direction!
[Space Oscillation] manipulated space to release shockwaves, causing crushing destruction to all matter in the vicinity!
Crack, crack—BOOM!!!
A visible ripple of oscillation spread from Raiver Sky's fist.
Wherever it passed, space shattered like glass!
The shockwaves spread at blinding speed, instantly striking the two captains immobilized by Space Imprisonment.
"Guh—!!!"
They couldn't even manage a complete scream, only feeling a devastating force tear through their bodies.
In that moment, every bone and internal organ within them was pulverized into dust!
Simultaneously, they vomited torrents of blood mixed with visceral fragments, their bodies hurled backward to slam heavily against the ground—lifeless.
Silence!
Deathly silence!
