A monstrous sword energy shot towards the sky.
The Cursed Holy Sword's faint green glow manifested as earth-shattering slashes, clashing with Ain's blade.
Instantly boosting Saga's strength to the mid-Supreme-Grade Swordsman level, and this strength continued to rise.
Even so, Ain remained calm.
Her combat experience was honed by Ryuya using the Bijo Bijo no Mi.
She constantly faced two or three illusions several times stronger than herself. Her combat experience far surpassed Saga's!
Therefore, no matter how much Saga's swordsmanship improved,
as long as it wasn't a drastic increase, Ain could keep up and continuously refine her skills!
Then, she broke through!
With a single strike from Ain, the intense sword intent dissipated significantly.
Concentrating it all on the blade, a cold glint flashed in Ain's eyes.
Ain held her sword with both hands, took a deep breath, and charged towards Saga under the crimson moonlight.
Under Ain's control, the blade sliced horizontally.
The sword intent on the blade intertwined with the slash.
Ryuya's eyes lit up.
He subconsciously said, "Ain's swordsmanship has reached the high-Supreme-Grade Swordsman level. It seems that advancement through battle is the best way to grow!"
Sensing the sharpness of Ain's slash, Saga looked at the scene in disbelief.
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible. To reach high-Supreme-Grade Swordsman at such a young age. I don't believe it!!!"
"What's there to disbelieve? My talent was poor. Only through constant effort can I become stronger! And I would never use underhanded methods to improve. As Ryuya-sama said, that's inferior!"
As Ain shouted her thoughts,
the blade, slicing horizontally towards Saga, reached him.
Cold sweat dripped from Saga's forehead; his back was soaked.
He couldn't delay any longer!
"Cursed Holy Sword, grant me more power!"
With Saga's murmur, an even more sinister and powerful force poured into his body.
Saga's veins bulged, his body expanding at least twice its size.
His height reached over four meters!
Twice Ain's size.
His oppressive aura surged.
Saga held the Cursed Holy Sword aloft, his legs slightly bent, barely withstanding Ain's slash.
His muscles trembled constantly.
But the Cursed Holy Sword continuously supplied Saga with energy.
Allowing Saga to withstand Ain's attack.
After withstanding the attack,
Saga's aura also reached the high-Supreme-Grade Swordsman level.
Matching Ain's skill.
But seeing the others watching intently,
Saga lost his confidence.
He couldn't delay any longer.
Looking at the others, a crazed smile appeared on Saga's face.
"White Dove! I've prepared a grand gift for you. I hope you enjoy it!"
As he finished speaking, Saga took a Den Den Mushi from his pocket.
He pressed the button on the Den Den Mushi.
Instantly, a massive explosion occurred in the distant Navy base.
The explosion targeted the Navy branch's prison.
It held the pirates Saga had captured over the past few days.
This was to create chaos.
Saga also transferred the Cursed Holy Sword's energy to Cavendish.
His power would become more violent, delaying White Dove and the others.
Ryuya clearly sensed Saga's plan.
Watching Saga quickly disappear from his sight,
a slight smile curved Ryuya's lips.
Things were getting more interesting.
But it would be bad if civilians were affected.
"Roran, Stella, Ain, leave the pirates to you. Don't let them harm innocent civilians."
As Ryuya finished speaking, the three women nodded and rushed towards the prison.
The old woman on Asuka Island came before Ryuya, "Admiral White Dove, I know you're powerful. You must stop Saga from fully awakening the Cursed Holy Sword. Otherwise, countless lives will be lost, and the entire sea will be ruled by Saga!"
Hearing the old woman's words, Ryuya nodded seriously, "Don't worry, leave Saga to me. I'll defeat him."
Of course, Ryuya said this to reassure the old woman.
He didn't care about the Cursed Holy Sword.
If the Cursed Holy Sword were truly powerful, it wouldn't have been sealed.
In the movie, even at its peak, the Cursed Holy Sword only managed to cleave an island.
No big deal.
Just as the old woman finished speaking, a strange white figure suddenly appeared beside Ryuya and the old woman.
It was Cavendish, passively receiving the Cursed Holy Sword's power.
Cavendish, wielding his rapier, his second personality controlling his body, fueled by the Cursed Holy Sword's power,
was slightly stronger than before.
An overwhelming aura of madness pressed down on Ryuya and the old woman.
The old woman could barely hold her cane.
"Don't do that in front of an old woman! It's frightening."
As Ryuya finished speaking,
he extended a finger, Armament Haki swirling around it.
With a speed Cavendish couldn't react to, he flicked Cavendish's forehead.
Bang!
A loud sound echoed across the island.
Cavendish flew away faster than he had come.
He crashed through more than ten trees before stopping.
The Cursed Holy Sword's rampage and the second personality were useless against Ryuya's overwhelming power!
Cavendish landed near Saga.
Saga, who had just arrived, was startled by Cavendish's sudden arrival.
He hadn't expected Ryuya's power to be so strong.
For a moment, Saga hesitated.
Could the fully unleashed Cursed Holy Sword defeat Ryuya?
Just as Saga thought this, the Cursed Holy Sword suddenly fed Saga unprecedented power.
This gave Saga immense confidence.
Without hesitation, Saga used his physical strength
to rapidly move towards the highest point of Asuka Island.
The closer he got to the Red Moon, the faster he could gain power from the Cursed Holy Sword.
The old woman hadn't recovered from Ryuya's terrifying power.
Ryuya said lightly, "Don't worry, I'll handle the rest."
Then, Ryuya walked towards where Saga had left…
