Starting with One Piece, a Multiverse Simulation

Unbeknownst to everyone, the lackey "Will" naturally walked behind the minister, reached into his robes, and slowly drew out a three-inch gleaming sword...

"Ding------!"

A crisp clang of metal echoed through the hall. Chelsea was stunned to see the tip of her dagger blocked by the gemstone ring on the minister's finger.

"So this is how you protect me? How touching."

Chelsea was unwilling to give up so easily after her sneak attack was thwarted. All the charade they had put on was just to get close to the minister and, at the lowest possible cost, eliminate the most deserving of death.

Having failed in her first attack, Chelsea naturally withdrew her dagger and launched another fierce attack, aiming to slit the minister's neck.

Chelsea's direct combat ability is not strong, but that's only against Imperial Arms users like "Night Raid" and "Hunter". Against ordinary people, Chelsea's skills are still quite remarkable.

Furthermore, because of her expertise in assassination, she also knew the vital points of the human body, which is why she reacted so quickly and launched a second attack on the minister's neck.

To Wood and his men's surprise, the seemingly overweight minister, whom they had been targeting for assassination, was not a good-for-nothing who only ate meat. He possessed considerable combat ability, and in terms of physical fighting skills, he was no less capable than Leone.

As expected, Chelsea's first sneak attack failed, and her second combo attack was equally unsuccessful.

Before the dagger could even touch the minister's neck, Chelsea was struck hard in the abdomen, and her body flew backward like a kite with a broken string. She was caught by the quick-thinking Wood, who prevented her from suffering secondary injuries.

Because of this sudden attack, the entire hall was thrown into chaos, and four men and women of different sizes suddenly appeared beside the minister.

"They are the 'Four Demon Rakshasa,' the best fighters in the Imperial Fist Temple, selected from among thousands!"

In order to gather information on the "Wild Hounds," Lan had done some research on some powerful forces in the capital, and the so-called "Royal Fist Temple" was one of them.

The Imperial Fist Temple is a renowned martial arts training ground in the capital, filled with many martial arts masters. The so-called "Four Demon Rakshasa" are unparalleled masters among the Imperial Fist Temple, one in ten thousand.

Although they are not Teigu users, they possess the superpower to manipulate their bodies at will and have the formidable strength to defeat Teigu users with their bare hands. They are a group of monsters who can truly transcend human limitations!

The "Four Demon Rakshasa" were the minister's personal executioners. Since Esdeath had left the capital, the minister had these four secretly protect him, and they unexpectedly came in handy this time.

Chapter 444 You are not the only ones who can surpass human limits!

The four demons of Rakshasa protected the minister, and General Bude appeared before the young emperor immediately.

As the royal family's loyal dog, no matter the situation, his only duty is to protect the safety of the royal bloodline.

"Tsk, I didn't expect that minister to be such a pushover. Judging from the skills he just displayed, he's at least at the level of Leone."

Aside from me and Kurohime, anyone else who went to chase them alone would probably just get themselves killed.

The fact that the minister possessed that level of combat ability was something Wood and his team had never anticipated, no matter how hard they racked their brains.

Their original plan was to first eliminate the ministers who were the root cause of the chaos, and then slowly deal with the young emperor and General Bude.

But now the situation seems to have turned into the worst possible state. Not only are they facing General Budo, but they have also brought out several masters from the Imperial Fist Temple, the "Four Demon Rakshasa".

In terms of sheer combat strength, they are not actually at an advantage. Although it is a five-on-five situation, Mine on their side can only provide remote support and cannot participate in direct combat.

Chelsea and Lan... well, one is a complete weakling, and the other seems to be nothing except for being able to fly and run.

"Black Eyes, how many of the 'Four Rakshasa Demons' can you handle?"

Although it's a five-on-five situation, it's estimated that only he and Kuroko will be able to make a move in the end, so it's very important to assign opponents well now.

“I can handle a few…” Upon hearing Wood’s question, Black Eyes, who was standing to the side, immediately looked rather speechless.

Although the "Rakshasa Four Demons" are not Teigu users, Kurome had heard of their names when she was in the assassination squad. Each of the "Rakshasa Four Demons" has the strength to rival the "Elite Seven" of the Imperial Assassination Squad, and they have even cooperated with Akame on several occasions.

In terms of pure strength, they are no weaker than the members of "Night Raid" and "Hunter", and are even far stronger than ordinary Imperial Arms users.

Although Kuroko was quite proud of her strength, the Hachifusa's undead puppets had been reduced to only two members of the Bang clan, Hunter and Natara, after two waves of battles with "Night Raid".

Compared to her peak condition, Kuroko's strength is now only about 50%. She wanted to say that she could handle one, but she felt that it would be too embarrassing to say that.

Moreover, if he only deals with one of the "Four Demon Rakshasa", it means that Wood will have to deal with the remaining three "Four Demon Rakshasa" and General Bud's four men all by himself.

"I should be able to handle two, I guess..." After hesitating for a moment, Kurohime still tried to state her limit.

If it were a one-on-one fight, Kuroko felt that his chances of winning against any one of the "Four Demon Rakshasa" wouldn't be very high.

The Imperial Arm "March of the Dead: Eight Houses" does not enhance the strength of the user, except for turning the dead into puppets for manipulation.

Although Kuroko's swordsmanship was not bad, her opponent was from the "Royal Fist Temple," which was famous in the capital for its martial arts. Moreover, the "Rakshasa Four Demons" were among the best, with physical abilities that surpassed those of humans and even developed supernatural powers.

To be able to deal with two of them, Kuroko felt she needed to perform exceptionally well, and Natara and Hunter also needed to be quite capable.

"Then I'll take care of the remaining two 'Rakshasa Four Demons' and General Bude."

There's no need to hold back anymore; we must defeat them as quickly as possible, otherwise, if that minister escapes the palace, finding him again will be difficult!

Hearing what Wood said, Black Eyes once again showed a helpless expression. She wanted to say that even if she wanted to conserve her strength, she simply couldn't deal with two "Rakshasa Four Demons".

Moreover, Wood really overestimated her. With two "Rakshasa Four Demons" as her opponents, it was already quite an achievement that she could remain undefeated. Asking her to defeat them as soon as possible was asking too much of her.

The so-called "Four Rakshasa Demons" are Thorn, Linglu, Zhutian, and Horse Head.

Among them, Ji and Zhu Tian are male, while Ling Lu and Ma Tou are female.

Thorn is a slender, strange-looking person with an extremely tough body and the ability to manipulate his entire body at will.

She develops a liking for her opponent after discovering their strengths, and derives pleasure from killing her favorite combatant. She is also the strongest among the Four Demon Rakshasa.

Linglu is a slender woman dressed in trousers, skirts, and boots, the least revealing of the four demons. Her ability is a body manipulation ability that allows her to control her fingernails.

She has masochistic (M) tendencies, and her body is always covered in scars due to her masochistic attributes, but in reality, her physical strength is not low.

Zhu Tian is a burly, bearded man who values ​​muscle training and is very confident in it. He is the strength-based one among the Four Demons, possessing extremely high physical strength but also being relatively clumsy. He is skilled in the "Royal Fist Temple Hundred-Ripple Fist," but it is said that he has never shown any ability to manipulate his body.

Because they firmly believe that the world is hell and that killing is liberating the soul of the victim from suffering, they believe that killing is doing a good deed.

Zhu Tian was also an old friend of Akame's master and adoptive father, Gozchi, and had trained with the minister at the Imperial Fist Temple.

Horse Head is a petite, wheat-skinned girl with a cute face and a sexy body.

Among the Four Ghosts, the speedster relies on swift and agile movements to evade attacks during battle, hence his revealing attire. Despite being a melee assassin, he possesses smooth and delicate skin.

The horse's headband consists of two heavy horseshoes used for weight-bearing, typically to suppress its speed. It is only removed when facing a sufficiently strong opponent.

Akame once fought alongside the Four Demon Rakshasa, and Linglu and Matou even considered Akame a friend at one point.

Because Horse Head is the daughter of Akame's adoptive father, Gozuchi, she is also Akame's adopted sister.

Perhaps for this reason, Linglu and Matou did not approach Akame's sister Kurome, but instead set their sights on Wood.

"So my opponents are two young ladies? It seems that being too handsome can be a real hardship."

Black Eyes has already started fighting with Zhu Tian and Thorn. Hunter and Natara are fighting two against one against Thorn, the strongest of the four ghosts, and they barely managed to fight him to a draw.

However, the situation between Hei Tong and Zhu Tian is not optimistic. If we disregard physical abilities and only consider martial arts, Zhu Tian should be the strongest among the Four Ghosts. The fact that he can become Chi Tong's master shows his strength.

Through long-term training, Zhu Tian's muscles have become as hard as a rock, to the point that even Kuroko's Imperial Arms "Yafusa" cannot pierce Zhu Tian's skin.

His "Royal Fist Temple Hundred Crack Fist" struck the air, creating a vacuum in front of him, and the powerful force of the punch easily plowed a trench tens of meters long into the ground.

If it weren't for Black Eyes' agility, and given that she doesn't possess the tenacious vitality of Imperial Medicine, she would probably die from a direct confrontation with one of them!

Fortunately, Zhu Tian's excessive muscle training resulted in him not being very fast, and with Mine's long-range support, Kuroko was able to keep up with Zhu Tian.

On Wood's side, even when facing Linglu and Matou, who were also among the "Four Demon Rakshasa," the situation was completely opposite to that of Kuroko's side, with Wood in a situation of absolute domination.

Wood, who originally wanted to chase after the ministers, was attacked by the girl's horse head first. With amazing speed and strong body coordination, she suddenly appeared in front of Wood and kicked him directly in the head with a very difficult spinning kick.

Unfortunately, no matter how fast the girl was, Wood's "Observation Haki" predicted it in advance, and at the moment the girl's spinning kick came, her ankle was firmly caught by Wood with one hand!

"Girl, I can give you a passing grade for your kicking skills, but I can give you a perfect score for your clothes."

And I can give you a suggestion: have you heard that the less clothing you wear, the stronger you are?

Do you know why I blocked your attack? Mainly because your lower body was wearing far too much clothing compared to your upper body.

The horse's head was covered by a rather revealing lampshade on its upper body and loose trousers on its lower body. Wood, who was holding the horse's head by the ankle in an attempt to get a glimpse of the scenery, was disappointed to find that he could see nothing.

"I'm going to kick your head off in a minute, then you can look all you want!"

Hearing what Wood said, Ma Tou, though devoted to martial arts, was still a young girl and naturally understood the meaning behind Wood's words. So, she was extremely angry and stretched out her other leg again, sweeping it towards Wood's head.

Unfortunately, despite the sudden burst of air, Wood calmly raised his hand and blocked the other leg that the horse had kicked out.

Just as Wood was about to continue teasing the girl, his Observation Haki suddenly detected danger from behind him once again.

"Six Styles: Iron Body!"

Almost at the same time Wood used the iron block, Linglu, dressed in a long dress and exuding a mature and sophisticated aura, suddenly appeared behind Wood. Using her ability to control her nails, she made them extremely long and hard, attempting to launch a "back-entry" attack from behind.

However..., "Ding—!"

To Linglu and Matou's surprise, Linglu's fingernails, enhanced by her superpowers, which were originally capable of splitting gold and jade and even shattering rocks, produced a metallic clang when she stabbed at Wood.

Linglu even felt that what she had just stabbed was not flesh, but a piece of refined steel. Her nails not only failed to break through the defense, but now she felt a bit painful from the recoil.

The sneak attack that she thought was sure to succeed failed, and coupled with the strange situation of Wood, Linglu jumped a few times after landing and took the initiative to distance herself from Wood.

However, thanks to Linglu's sneak attack, the girl horse head was able to find an opportunity to break free from Wood's restraints and is now standing vigilantly beside Linglu, staring at Wood.

"What's wrong with this guy? In that situation just now, even a rock should have been pierced by now, right? Did you not use your full strength?"

As companions, the four Rakshasa demons were already very familiar with each other's abilities, which is why the horse-headed demon was curious about Linglu's mistake.

“His body is strange. When I stabbed him, it felt like I stabbed steel.”

"Steel-like hardness, does that mean this guy is a cyborg..." Upon hearing what Linglu said, Matou immediately guessed.

Cyborgs are not uncommon in the Empire; Dr. Fashion is even an expert in this field, so it's not surprising that Horse Head has this guess.
