Yes, he simply walked.
Because Ryuya didn't take Saga seriously.
In his mind, Saga was weaker than Cavendish.
Following Saga, Ryuya arrived at the highest peak on Asuka Island.
Looking at Saga, arms outstretched,
Ryuya leaned against a large rock and said, "How long until you fully unleash the Cursed Holy Sword's power?"
Seeing Ryuya's arrogance,
unprecedented ecstasy surged through Saga's heart.
"White Dove, if you're a real man, wait until I fully unleash the Cursed Holy Sword's power. Then we'll have a proper duel?!"
Hearing Saga's words, Ryuya almost rolled his eyes.
"Fine, fine. But hurry up. If you're too slow, I might accidentally flick you and kill you."
After saying this, Ryuya leaned against the rock, looking up at the crimson moon, muttering, "You know, this is the first time I've seen a crimson moon. Compared to a normal moon, it's quite different. Though, I think it would get boring if I saw it too often."
Hearing Ryuya's words, Saga's anger boiled.
Just you wait!
Once I fully unleash the Cursed Holy Sword's power, you'll understand how foolish you are.
Saga roared in his heart.
Time ticked by.
About half an hour passed.
Just as Ryuya's patience was about to wear thin, he heard Saga unleashing immense power nearby.
A violent wind arose.
The waves surged.
A tremendously powerful force erupted, centered on Saga.
The power was so immense that even without Saga moving, the ground began to crack.
As if it couldn't bear Saga's overwhelming power.
The crimson moonlight vanished at that moment.
As if absorbed into Saga's body.
The Cursed Holy Sword completely merged with Saga.
The Cursed Holy Sword's patterns appeared on Saga's body.
A small Cursed Holy Sword pattern was imprinted on Saga's chest, like a tattoo.
Except this tattoo glowed.
"You know, you look really disgusting right now."
Ryuya stood up from the rock, stretched, and said to Saga.
Ryuya's words lightly reached Saga's ears.
This completely ignited Saga's anger.
"White Dove, everyone says you're so powerful. But you're too arrogant. Now you'll pay the price!"
As Saga finished speaking,
he extended his arm and lightly swiped upwards.
Sword energy pierced through Saga's body, traveling along the ground towards Ryuya.
The ground cracked continuously.
Dust scattered.
Killing intent surged from the ground.
Just as it was about to reach Ryuya,
Ryuya's peak Armament Haki enveloped his feet, and he took a step.
The sword energy erupting from the ground was instantly crushed by Ryuya's foot.
"Don't tell me, after all this time, this is your peak? Mid-Supreme-Grade Swordsman, isn't that the power to rule the world? Are you kidding me?"
Although he had already guessed,
seeing this, Ryuya found it hard to accept.
It was simply too weak.
Ryuya had expected at least peak Supreme-Grade Swordsman, or even Supreme-Grade Swordsman Mastery.
Ryuya's expectations were simply too high.
But Saga didn't have a clear understanding of his current strength.
He felt that Ryuya was jealous!
His experience was too limited.
This was a common problem among many people on the Grand Line.
Overconfidence, always thinking they were invincible.
Ryuya didn't bother explaining.
He slowly walked towards Saga.
"Corrupted by the Cursed Holy Sword, you've lost your humanity. Go to hell!"
"Who do you think you are? I'll torture and kill you!"
The inflated Saga wildly swung his arms.
Numerous faint green sword energies scattered towards Ryuya.
Each sword energy shrieked in the air.
The atmosphere became increasingly desolate.
Oppressive!
A killing aura rose, wrapping around Ryuya.
Piercing sounds pierced the air, reaching Ryuya's ears.
"Noisy!"
Ryuya coldly snorted, his aura erupting.
It was at least a hundred times, no, a thousand times stronger than Saga's!
This aura alone shattered Saga's arrogance.
Saga froze in place.
Unprecedented pressure and terror, like demons, arose in Saga's heart.
The Cursed Holy Sword's control over his mind and body
couldn't overcome the fear in Saga's heart.
Ryuya extended a finger and stabbed forward.
The wind stopped~
The sea stilled~
The dust settled~
It was as if someone had pressed the pause button on time.
After an unknown amount of time—a minute, half an hour, or perhaps just an instant—
everything returned to normal.
The wind blew freely.
The sea crashed against the shore.
Dust filled the air.
Only Saga before Ryuya had vanished from existence.
As if he had never existed.
One finger!
With only one finger.
Saga, a mid-Supreme-Grade Swordsman, was reduced to dust by Ryuya.
Ryuya slowly turned, muttering to himself, "As expected, someone who reaches the mid-Supreme-Grade Swordsman level through external means can't strengthen their body in a short time. Even with the Cursed Holy Sword's support, they feel weak."
Ryuya glanced at his finger, then looked at Ain nearby.
"I'm done here. Have the pirates been returned to prison?"
Hearing Ryuya, Ain nodded vigorously, "Those pirates were no match; they've all been returned to prison."
Ain continued, "I was worried about Ryuya-sama, so I came to check."
Her explanation made Ain even more embarrassed.
Her delicate face flushed crimson.
Like a ripe red apple, making one want to take a bite.
Just then, a faint green glow rapidly shot towards Ain…
