My clone invades all realms

The old bartender turned around and walked straight into the kitchen.

Roya followed behind.

The tavern's kitchen was greasy and messy, with the air thick with the smells of alcohol and rotting food.

At the innermost part, there is a bare stone wall, and there is no path anymore.

The old bartender stretched out his wrinkled hand and pressed it hard on an inconspicuous brick on the wall.

"Click-clack—"

The sound of machinery echoed in the cramped space. The stone wall in front of them split open in the middle, receding into the walls on both sides, revealing a deep stone staircase. A cold wind rushed up from below.

The old bartender turned to the side and said.

"Come with me."

After saying that, he took the first step, and his figure was quickly swallowed up by the darkness below.

Luo Ya carried the money box in one hand and followed him inside without hesitation.

The stone steps spiraled downwards, and there was no light around. Only the old bartender's unhurried footsteps guided the way.

The sound of the tide crashing against the rocks came from below, growing clearer and clearer.

"This tavern was originally the secret base of the Black Cup Pirates."

The old bartender's voice drifted from ahead.

"This secret passage was built to defend against the navy. If we were surrounded, we could go directly to sea from here."

Luo Ya didn't respond, but simply continued following the sound downwards.

"Unfortunately, we've encountered Admiral Aokiji."

There was an indescribable undertone in the old bartender's voice.

"The entire pirate crew had almost no chance to resist. The captain and most of the officers were arrested on the spot, and only a few escaped. I was one of them."

"The previous owner of the Black Cup Tavern was our captain, and I was the first mate, Sword Cup."

A faint light appeared ahead.

The light dispelled some of the darkness and illuminated the end of the passage.

Sword Cup stood in the light, stopped, turned around, and stared at Roya who was following behind.

"Why have you stopped?"

The dim light made his face appear to be in and out of focus.

Behind him, the silhouette of a massive ship was faintly visible in the dim light, moored in a huge underground cavity.

Luo Ya placed the money box in his hand on the stone steps with a "thud".

The sound of the box hitting the stone was particularly jarring in this space.

"I never expected that the first opponent I would have to seriously deal with after arriving in this world would be a group of pirates."

Roya stretched his right hand forward, his five fingers spread.

"The authority of God".

"Treasure!"

White light gathered out of thin air and quickly condensed in his palm, forming a hilt, then a long, narrow blade, and finally a complete katana in Roya's hand.

Sword Cup's pupils twitched slightly, his gaze fixed firmly on the knife. He grinned, revealing a mouthful of large, yellow teeth.

"The 21st Great Sword, 'Blue Rain,' kid, you've got quite a few good things hidden on you."

As he finished speaking, two figures emerged from the shadows behind him.

On the left is an abnormally obese man, whose belly fat almost reaches the ground.

On the right is a man with a skinny build like a bamboo pole, but nearly three meters tall, carrying a huge meteor hammer.

The three people completely blocked the way out.

"I just learned its name myself." Luo Ya casually twirled the blade, the blade cutting through the air with a clear, melodious sound.

This knife was one of Ronosya's collections; Roya simply picked one that looked convenient from his "treasure" space.

No wonder it's a Celestial Dragon's collection.

With a flick of his wrist, Jianbei produced an antique-style longsword, its blade reflecting a metallic sheen in the dim light.

"My sword may only be a good, sharp blade of the fiftieth rank, but it's more than enough to deal with a newbie like you who doesn't know the immensity of the world!"

His malice was no longer concealed.

"We need money, lots and lots of money, to recruit soldiers, rescue the captain from Impel Down, and leave all your treasure behind. In return, I might consider letting you leave here alive."

"First Mate!" the obese man couldn't help but speak up, "We can't be exposed!"

Sword Cup gave him a cold glance, which immediately silenced the obese man.

"With the captain gone, I'm in charge here. You just need to follow my decisions."

The obese man lowered his head, not daring to utter another word.

Luo Ya pointed the tip of his "Blue Rain" sword downwards, looking at the three pirates in front of him with a hint of amusement in his voice.

"What a touching display of camaraderie! Even in this state, the captain is still thinking about breaking you out of prison."

The plot of the original story flashed through Roja's mind: in the hundreds of years since Impel Down was established, there had only been two large-scale prison break incidents.

The fate of this group of pirates, whose names have never even appeared, is already sealed.

Jianbei held the sword horizontally in front of his chest, assuming a fighting stance.

"Three against one, you have no chance of winning. Don't think you're the only one with a Devil Fruit ability."

Before the words were even finished, the sword cup began to undergo drastic changes.

His body grew taller, his muscles bulged, huge wings stretched out from his back, his arms transformed into sharp claws, and his eyes became like those of a hawk.

"Zoan type, Bird-Bird Fruit, Eagle form".

The obese man next to him also began to twist and swell, his skin became rough, his nose protruded forward, and he turned into a pig-headed man who walked upright.

Zoan type, Pig-Pig Fruit, Domestic Pig form.

Only the tall, thin man on the right remained unchanged; he simply swung his meteor hammer silently, the chains rattling loudly.

"Two Zoan-type Devil Fruit users?"

Luo Ya's body sank slightly, and a surge of energy emanated from within him.

"Besides, who told you it was three against one?"

His figure suddenly blurred, and the next moment, three identical Roya stood side by side.

One is the main body holding "Azure Rain".

One of them was wearing a Demon Slayer Corps uniform with a Nichirin Blade at his waist.

There was another one, dressed in a white training uniform, with three knives hanging from his waist.

The clones from the Demon Slayer world and the Hunter x Hunter world appear simultaneously at this moment.

"Now it's three against three!"

The ground beneath the three Royas simultaneously cracked open, and their figures transformed into three streaks of lightning, charging towards the three pirates in front of them.

"Bang!"

"boom!"

The violent collision echoed throughout the underground cavity.

Almost instantly upon contact, the tall, thin man and the pig-headed man were kicked away by the immense force, their bodies slamming into the distant rock wall with a dull thud.

With only the sword cup, he used his longsword to block Luo Ya's "Azure Rain" form, his feet carving two long furrows in the ground, sliding for more than ten meters before finally stopping.

This encounter allowed Luo Ya to see the true nature of this underground space.

It's much bigger than I expected.

Above them were layers of rock tens of meters thick, and the rock walls on the left and right were hundreds of meters apart. In the middle was an underground river that connected to the outside sea. The huge black pirate ship was fixed to the rocks on the shore with thick iron chains.

Looking at the solemn-faced sword and cup opposite him, Roya said, "So, it was a scam from the beginning. If I hadn't come in with you, you might have completed the transaction. But once you were inside, you were prepared to kill and rob, weren't you?"

Sword Cup's voice turned low: "You're just unlucky. Besides, I gave you a chance to leave the money behind."

He did indeed consider making a deal.

Before the slim chance of rescuing the captain could begin, leaving behind something for himself was the only thing he could do.

But Roya offered far too much money.

A whole case of Pele would significantly increase their chances of success.

Greed overwhelmed reason.
