Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Flying Car: Toby - A cyborg with a full mechanical body who feels no pain.

Horned: Jasang - Possesses high physical defense and wields a large sword as a weapon.

Carriage: Seryu Ubiquitas – also a member of the "Hunters," and actively requested Dr. Fashion to modify her body in order to gain power.

Infantry: Modified soldiers who are just ordinary fodder; they were the ones who just bombed the buildings at the night raid stronghold.

Of the five "hunters" who came, apart from Esdeath and Will, the other three brought quite a few underlings with them.

No, strictly speaking, Will is probably the only one without any underlings... because they are Esdeath's underlings themselves.

Furthermore, Esdeath possesses a hidden ability comparable to "Mahavamsa," called "Ice Storm General," which allows her to summon a large number of ice cavalry in an instant.

Furthermore, these ice cavalry possess combat power that ordinary soldiers could never match!

"Najendan, it's been a long time. I can't believe you've been hiding in these deep mountains and forests ever since we last met."

I wonder if you'll be so lucky this time, able to escape from me?

When Esdeath sees Najenda again, she is quite happy, while Najenda's expression is nothing but solemn when she sees Esdeath.

Turning to look at Wood beside her, she saw that he was also shaking his head with a bitter expression. Najendan immediately ordered, "Don't confront them head-on. Find a suitable opportunity to break out on your own, and then meet up at the usual place."

Clearly, Najenda's gaze towards Wood was an inquiry into whether Wood still had the strength to fight Esdeath.

If Wood can still stop Esdeath, then they still have a fighting chance in this battle.

After all, although the other side had a large number of people, they were not pushovers who could be easily bullied.

Unfortunately, Wood's hands are now bound and his Imperial Arms is not with him, so his combat power is less than one-tenth of what it used to be. Let alone fighting Esdeath, he would be considered to have performed exceptionally well if he didn't die.

If no one can stop Esdeath, then they have absolutely no chance of winning, which is why Najenda gave the order for each of them to break out.

If they stay together, they will only be captured by Esdeath. If they separate and try to escape, they might be able to survive if they are lucky.

The Hunters and Night Raids represent the Empire and the Revolutionary Army, respectively. Their positions are different, and even though many of them are former comrades, friends, or even relatives, there is no room for pleasantries. Almost instantly, the two sides collide.

Will approached Tatsumi, Kurome approached Akame, Seryu originally wanted to approach Mine, and Mine also wanted to avenge Sheele's severed arm.

But before the proud little girl could make a move, Wood grabbed her clothes with his teeth and pulled her away (because her hands were tied), and threw a green-haired little angel at the crazy justice girl.

“You’re no match for that madman. Lubbock is a master at dealing with women. Leave that guy to him.”

Seeing Seryu's crazed expression, Lubbock saw her reach into the mouth of the Imperial Arm "Different Titan" and pull out one that was bigger than herself. He turned around and glared at his friend.

However, although Lubbock appeared unwilling, his actions betrayed him. To prevent Seryu from chasing after Wood and the others, he used the Imperial Arm "Cross Tail" to restrain her body and dragged her to another battlefield.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that the current situation is unfavorable for the "night raid." Even if everyone tries to break out on their own, some people's chances of survival are extremely low.

The "some people" referred to here are Wood's current trio!

Although Chelsea has some assassination skills and is ruthless when killing, her combat ability is not much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

Mine's combat ability is not weak, but as a sniper, she has no advantage if she has no one to cover her and is fighting a retreat.

As for Wood, his strength is now less than one-tenth of what it used to be. He should still be able to handle some small fry, but against members of the "Hunter" group, his chances of winning are really not high.

Will and Tatsumi are currently engaged in a mecha battle, which is also the main battle between the two sides.

The battle between the sisters Akame and Kurome became truly fierce, with one side fighting for their comrades and the other for their own obsessions.

Lubbock's unstoppable bondage art against the crazy girl Seryu seems to be constantly getting thwarted by the cute girl whose body has been mostly modified into machinery.

As for Leone, he went to Dr. Fashion. The mad scientist injected himself with some kind of hormone, and his body swelled up into an abnormal creature in an instant. He also swallowed the "eyes, mouth, and nose" of the Fashion army and has now completely become a monster. He is currently fighting with Leone.

Esdeath originally intended to settle scores with Wood, but after realizing that Najenda was the leader of "Night Raid," and that only by eliminating Najenda could she possibly subdue Wood, she shifted her target to her old colleague.

To Wood's surprise, Najendan, who always complained about her lack of strength, actually had a fighting level that was no less than Leone's, which was absolutely worthy of her status as a former general of the Empire.

Moreover, besides Najenda, the power of her newly acquired biological Teigu 'Lightning Bolt Susanoo' far exceeded Wood's expectations.

When Wood rescued him earlier, he felt that Susanoo was very strong. After all, it was able to hold off two members of the "Hunter" while fighting alone, and its combat power was comparable to that of Brand before.

However, to Wood's surprise, even with that level of power, it was still not the limit of Susanoo.

When Najenda, her master, used the secret technique "Manifestation of Calamity" at the cost of her life force, her combat power even reached a level that could briefly rival Esdeath's!

The appearance of Susanoo at this moment has changed drastically compared to before. Its upper garment was ripped apart by the powerful energy flow, revealing strong muscles and a huge red magatama on its chest.

Susanoo uses the magatama (magatama) on his chest to absorb his master's life force to become berserk and unleash his power.

In his berserk state, Susanoo possesses three incredibly powerful abilities: the "Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi" (an extremely long spiritual sword with super-powerful attack), the "Yata-no-Kagami" (reflective defense), and the "Yasakani no Magatama" (high-speed movement).

Not only is he a master of both offense and defense, but also, due to his biological regenerative nature, Susanoo at this moment is practically an immortal war god!

Of course, such incredible power comes with huge side effects. The secret technique "Manifestation of the Calamity Soul" can only be used three times by one person, because if it is used three times, the life force of Susanoo's master will be drained and he will die.

In an effort to stop Esdeath, Najenda not only used "Manifestation of Calamity" but also contributed her life force twice using her secret techniques!

This has resulted in Susanoo's current combat power being off the charts, at one point wielding the "Ama-no-Murakumo-no-Tsurugi" to suppress Esdeath at a disadvantage.

Esdeath slashed at Susanoo, severing one of his arms. However, because the core of Susanoo's biological Teigu was not damaged, the severed arm quickly regenerated.

Chapter 430 Wood, who keeps taking advantage of others' benefits

Unable to pinpoint the location of Susanoo's core within his body in a short time, Esdeath also attempted to use the power of her Imperial Arms to freeze him.

However, Susanoo in his berserk state also possesses the power of the "Yata Mirror," which can reflect and defend against the power of Esdeath's Ice Imperial Arm.

She wanted to bypass Susanoo and directly kill Najenda, who was her master, but Susanoo still possessed the power of the "Yasakani no Magatama".

Its high-speed movement ability, which can be described as instantaneous teleportation, is no less than that of Esdeath, and may even be superior.

"Interesting. It's just a soulless, inanimate object, yet it has surprisingly piqued my interest."

"If I had known the capital was this interesting, I would have returned from the border long ago. Compared to those weak and feeble foreign tribes, the enemies here are definitely more exciting!"

The fact that Esdeath could say such a thing already demonstrates that Susanoo's strength has earned her recognition.

Even when faced with such a powerful "Susanoo", he only gained Esdeath's approval, but did not regard him as a true rival.

Susanoo's three abilities after going berserk are very comprehensive. Combined with the regenerative ability of his biological Teigu, he is indeed incredibly powerful. However, this does not mean that he is without weaknesses.

That is, such power is not something he possesses himself, but something he obtains through the use of a "secret technique" at a great cost.

Looking at Najenda, who was being protected by Susanoo and was now panting heavily and looking exhausted, Esdeath calmly said, "Najenda, in your current physical condition, how much longer can you sustain your Teigu in battle?"

Undeniably, the power your biological Teigu is displaying now is the strongest I have encountered since meeting Wood.

But the greater the power, the greater the price to pay. How long can you hold on now?

Hearing Esdeath's words, Najenda forced a relieved smile and said, "Who knows? But right now, I've definitely stopped you, haven't I?"

Najenda had already noticed the problem Esdeath mentioned; Susanoo's current ability to rival Esdeath was only temporary.

Once her life force is exhausted and she is no longer able to support Susanoo's ability to use "Reappearance of the Demonic Soul," then both she and Susanoo will die here.

However, Najenda had anticipated this situation and was prepared for it.

Aside from Esdeath, the combat strength of the other members of Night Raid and the Hunters is actually quite similar. If Akame and the others are determined to break through, it shouldn't be difficult for them to leave this place.

Of course, this is all predicated on someone sacrificing themselves to stop Esdeath, this extraordinary individual.

Najenda had decided from the very beginning that she would take on the role of this unfortunate self-sacrificer.

This isn't her being a hero; it's just that, given the current situation, only she can complete this task.

If Wood were in good condition, he would naturally be in charge of this task, but now that he is only one-tenth of his former strength, he would only be willing to die in the face of Esdeath.

Although Akame and Leone are quite strong, they are still far too far from Esdeath's level and cannot buy her any time. Therefore, she has no choice but to take matters into her own hands.

"So that's how it is. You were prepared to die here all along?"

Seeing Najenda's composed expression, Esdeath couldn't help but show a look of approval and relief.

She and Najenda were old acquaintances, and Esdeath often described Najenda as "a person with a passionate heart who can always fight calmly."

Throughout the entire empire, the number of people who could gain Esdeath's approval was definitely no more than a handful. Even General Budo, who had a great reputation and background, was nothing more than a foolishly loyal idiot in Esdeath's eyes.

Even in Esdeath's eyes, General Bud was not as good as a treacherous and ruthless minister.

Putting aside individual combat prowess, the minister was at least a ruthless and ambitious figure, while General Bude was at best a loyal dog of the royal family.

There aren't many people Esdeath truly admires, but Wood, who can fight her, experience the thrill of battle, and has his own bottom line, is one of them.

Although not outstanding in combat strength, Najenda is also one of them, as she is good at assessing the situation and has considerable strategic acumen and personal charisma.

Esdeath's feelings were somewhat complicated at the thought of personally killing one of the few people she respected.

Just as her philosophy dictates, only the strong can survive in this world. Since Najenda has chosen to stand against her, and her strength is not yet sufficient, then death is the only path awaiting her.

Seeing that the other Night Raid members had lured away their respective enemies and were successfully breaking through, Najenda showed a relieved smile, intending to squeeze out the last of her life force and give it to Susanoo so that he could escape on his own.

Although she had only been its master for a short time, Najenda never regarded Susanoo as a so-called "Teigu".

Biological Imperial Arms possess the characteristics of living beings, but lack a soul; it's unclear whether such an existence can even be called a "living being."

But Susanoo slept for hundreds of years and ultimately chose me, so I should do something for him in the end.

Regardless of whether it's a biological Imperial Arm or something, once someone joins Night Raid, they become a member of their organization and an important comrade-in-arms!

After sacrificing her life force for the second time, Najenda looked at Susanoo in front of her and gave him her last command: "While you are still in the state of 'Manifestation of the Demonic Soul,' escape as quickly as possible."

Although I don't know how much time I can buy you, with your high-speed movement ability using the "Yasakani no Magatama," you should be able to escape to safety before I die.

Susanoo was originally created as an Imperial Arm to protect important personnel. Its personality is meticulous to the point of being obsessive-compulsive. As a biological Imperial Arm, it never disobeys the orders given by its master, even if the other party sends it to its death.
