One Piece: Starting with Sign-in Naruto Character Cards

At that moment, firm, metallic footsteps echoed from the stairwell in the distance.

Hearing the sound, Domino swallowed hard, then made up her mind. She inserted the key into the lock of Shiryu of the Rain's prison cell.

Click!

The door opened.

From the cell walked out a man wearing an Impel Down officer's uniform and a pilot cap.

Now free once more, Shiryu couldn't help but curl his lips into a devilish smile.

"That man is very powerful, please make sure—"

Before Domino could finish her sentence, Shiryu suddenly reached out and clutched her throat.

"Y-You… Let go of me!"

Domino had never imagined Shiryu would turn on her right away, and she couldn't speak under his grip.

"Cut the crap. Hand over Raigou."

With a cold snort, Shiryu snatched the sword from her hand—the famous blade Raigou that had accompanied him through countless killings.

"Oi, oi! What's with the internal fighting already?"

At that moment, Rikuya appeared in their view.

Seeing Rikuya approach, Shiryu threw Domino aside with a sudden toss.

"So you're the brat everyone's talking about? The one who actually defeated Magellan?"

"Nothing special," Rikuya replied casually. "I'm just here to beat all of you down and walk out of this place."

"Hah! Sure, Magellan's strong, but once you break through his poison, he's nothing.

But me? My blade isn't just for show. If you're not careful, you might lose your head before you even realize it."

"True, you're a tougher nut to crack. But it doesn't matter—my fists are harder than your sword."

Rikuya didn't hesitate and immediately activated the Might Guy character card again via his system.

Ding! Host has successfully activated [Might Guy] Character Card. Usage count -1.

As Might Guy's form replaced Chiyo-ba, a surge of energy flowed back into Rikuya's body.

Rikuya knew that puppets—even with ten of them—wouldn't stand a chance against someone as lethal as Shiryu. So he decided to switch back to Might Guy and use taijutsu to counter Shiryu's swordsmanship.

"Come! Show me what you've got!"

Shiryu shouted as he lunged forward, Raigou flashing in his hand.

"Eight Gates Released Formation—Sixth Gate: Gate of View, Open!"

Rikuya shouted back.

Might Guy's signature green energy exploded around his body, instantly enveloping his skin in glowing chakra.

Rikuya's movements became lighter, faster—superhuman.

At the same time, Shiryu had closed the distance and was now directly in front of him.

"Die!" Shiryu roared, slashing Raigou downward at lightning speed.

The blade's killing intent was so intense it seemed to tear the air apart.

Rikuya moved.

He dodged to the side, and the blade barely grazed his sleeve.

A flash of steel illuminated the entire prison.

For a second, Infinite Hell shone as bright as day.

Less than a centimeter closer, and the blade would've carved straight into Rikuya's body.

The moment Raigou hit the ground, a deep crack tore through the floor.

Stone tiles were flung into the air from the sheer force of the slash.

Seeing the damage left by that strike, Rikuya broke into a cold sweat.

Even with the sixth gate of the Eight Gates Formation open, his speed had only just kept up with Shiryu's blade.

Across from him, Shiryu was just as shocked.

If they were fighting at a distance, dodging wouldn't be surprising.

But to dodge such a close-range attack—unscathed—was a first in his life.

But before he could even process it, Rikuya's counterattack arrived.

"Morning Peacock!"

This was a move unlocked by opening the sixth gate. It boosted physical performance to the limit, allowing the user to launch countless punches in a single instant.

Suddenly, countless fists rained down on Shiryu from all directions.

Rikuya's punches were so fast that the friction between his fists and the air produced flames!

These flaming fists lit up like a dawn sunrise, scattering fiery embers that resembled the feathers of a peacock.

Hence, the name: Morning Peacock.

Shiryu, still trying to grasp what was happening, was instantly bombarded by the flaming barrage.

BOOM BOOM BOOM—!

In just a few seconds, Shiryu couldn't endure it anymore. He stumbled backward, retreating more than ten steps.

His Impel Down officer uniform was burned full of holes, his face charred and blackened, his whole body in a wretched state.

"Haha! Shiryu, what a joke! Never thought that Impel Down's top two enforcers would get wrecked by a prisoner from Crimson Hell. If this gets out, it'll be the laughingstock of the seas!"

A voice mocked from nearby.

It came from a man with a goofy hat, a massive sausage-shaped nose, and a perpetually drunk expression, lazily leaning against the bars of his cell.

"Vasco Shot! You talk too much!!"

Already seething with rage, Shiryu had just taken a humiliating beating right after being freed. Hearing this extra taunt pushed him over the edge.

Without warning, he lifted Raigou and slashed directly at the jeering Vasco Shot through the cell bars.
