"The Power of the Binding Spell"
The sound of bullets ripping through the air had vanished.
Spandam slowly peeked out from behind the subordinate he had used as a shield. The man was already cold.
He had survived through this despicable act.
Spandam widened his eyes in disbelief, watching Ryuya slowly approach.
His lips trembled, and his once arrogant face turned pale.
"What, what kind of power is that! Who, who are you! How could someone like you appear in the West Blue?!"
Spandam roared at Ryuya, his voice hoarse.
He glared, but his eyes were filled with fear.
This is what they call a coward in front of the strong, a bully in front of the weak. That's Spandam for you!
Ryuya slowly walked towards Spandam, each step seemingly crushing Spandam's heart.
By now, Ryuya had reached the Tree of Knowledge.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, for checking in at the Tree of Knowledge. You have obtained: Wood Style – Tree World Descent!]
As the system's electronic voice faded, Ryuya stood before Spandam.
Spandam, terrified, collapsed onto the ground. "Don't, don't come any closer! If you, if you come any closer, I swear I'll press this!"
Spandam pulled a golden Den Den Mushi from his pocket.
When Olvia saw Spandam's golden Den Den Mushi, her heart skipped a beat!
"Ryuya, that's the Buster Call button! If the Buster Call is activated, the entire Ohara will become a wasteland!"
Hearing Olvia's words, Spandam regained his confidence and threatened Ryuya, "Yes, this woman is right. Now get on your knees and apologize, or if I press this Buster Call button, in no time, this entire island will disappear from the map! This represents the Navy's overwhelming offensive power!"
Ryuya's expression, hidden beneath his hood, was exceptionally calm.
He reached out his hand, "Binding Spell Number Four – Gray Rope!"
A rope-like beam of light appeared out of thin air in front of Ryuya. In his world, the Soul Society, this was used to bind and capture opponents. Rukia and Renji Abarai had both used this Binding Spell!
But now, Ryuya used the Gray Rope to snatch the golden Den Den Mushi from Spandam's hand before he could react.
Feeling the weight in his hand disappear, Spandam's confidence vanished instantly. The confidence he had just regained was shattered as if falling into an abyss!
His only trump card had been easily taken by Ryuya. He panicked, utterly panicked!
Olvia, holding Robin, breathed a sigh of relief at this sight.
But then, Olvia's pupils contracted sharply. "Ryuya, are you crazy?! You actually pressed the Buster Call button!!!"
Things happened so quickly that even Spandam was a little stunned.
But when he saw Ryuya press the button on the golden Den Den Mushi, his despair was followed by hope. He laughed, a wild laugh. "You pressed it! You actually pressed it! Do you really want to see Ohara destroyed? Hahaha! You're so stupid! Now watch the Navy's strongest attack!"
Spandam couldn't believe the sudden turn of events. He felt like he was back in control!
Most importantly, Ryuya was so foolish. How could someone so foolish be his opponent.
Thinking this, Spandam felt his heart swell with pride. After all, this was the Buster Call!
Olvia's expression also turned serious.
At that moment, outside the island, on ten warships, over a thousand soldiers, dozens of Captains, and five Vice Admirals!
They received the message from the golden Den Den Mushi and set off towards Ohara.
Canons roared on the ships, countless slashes flew through the air, and two future Admiral candidates unleashed their attacks!
"Meteor Volcano!"
"Ice Age!"
Having received the Buster Call order, they held nothing back and unleashed their most powerful attacks.
The sky was filled with terrifying attacks.
Olvia and Robin closed their eyes. They had been so close to victory, but they couldn't believe Ryuya would do this.
They could already imagine how devastated and broken the island would become!
Spandam laughed wildly, "This is what you get for messing with me. Now go to hell and enjoy the cruelty of death!"
As Spandam laughed maniacally, Ryuya's lips curled into a slight smile, but no one could see it under his hood.
He slowly reached out his hand and slammed it onto the ground!
"Wood Style – Tree World Birth!"
As Ryuya's words fell, the boundless vitality contained in the Wood Style surged into the Tree of Knowledge.
The roots of the Tree of Knowledge shot up from the ground, intertwining and forming a gigantic root wall!
The massive wall stretched for miles, standing on the island, effortlessly blocking all the Buster Call attacks.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Countless bullets, cannonballs, slashes, and even Aokiji and Akainu's full-power attacks failed to penetrate the root wall of the Tree of Knowledge.
Any damage caused by the attacks was instantly offset and repaired by the boundless vitality of the Wood Style.
As the smoke from the first wave of the Buster Call attack cleared, Spandam, who had just regained his confidence, swallowed hard at the sight before him. He had never witnessed anything so astonishing!
His lips trembled, and he finally choked out a few words, "How, how is that possible! The Tree of Knowledge, it's alive!"
Not only Spandam, but even Aokiji and Akainu outside the island were stunned by this sight.
They furrowed their brows. Their previous attacks were their most powerful skills!
Yet, this powerful force was effortlessly blocked by this root-like wall.
"What kind of existence is this wall?"
"Whatever it is, anything that stands in our way on this island must be eradicated!"
Akainu's arm glowed with magma. "Besides, it's just a tree! I don't believe my magma can't burn it! Hound Dog!"
He punched out, a torrent of molten rock scorching the air. The intense heat made the air seem almost unreal.
The sound of a "boom" echoed as Akainu's magma fist slammed into the root wall formed by the Tree of Knowledge...
