"500 Million Volts Discharge! Divine Judgment!"
The sixty-meter-long Kirin beast ascended with the wind, opening its fanged, ferocious maw. It spewed a lightning pillar, over ten meters in diameter, towards the mountain-sized spider leg, covered in black thorns and barbs, that was stabbing down from the sky.
Rumble!
An earth-shattering explosion reverberated beneath the dark sky.
The impact of ultra-high intensity lightning bolts, even Kaido, if careless, would suffer damage and have his skin scorched by the terrifying electricity.
The enormous spider leg overhead, though incredibly powerful, was momentarily halted by this terrifying pillar of lightning.
Large areas of charring and cracking appeared on the leg, which was covered in thick armor.
Countless barbed sharp thorns on it broke off under the violent energy impact, falling like rain in mid-air.
Seizing this opportunity, the Kirin beast, Rorschach's transformed form, stepped into the air. Its massive body rapidly shrank, returning to an eight-meter-tall human-beast form. With a grab of its large hand in the air, a sharp whistle immediately echoed from the distance. A blurry black shadow streaked across the sky and through the air, thudding into his palm.
With the black halberd in hand, Rorschach's deep blue Haki and vast lightning power intertwined and surged out, immersing the Heavenly Dragon Halberd in a brilliant light. He swung a horizontal slash at the giant spider leg, which was momentarily suspended in mid-air, a single barb on it already comparable to his current body.
His thick arms, muscles coiling and bulging like dragons and pythons, pumped the incomparable power within him, unleashing a mighty slash.
"400 Million Volts High-Level Deep Blue Armament! Flash Lightning Slash!"
Rumble!
Thunder roared hundreds of meters high in the sky, illuminating the black night like day.
The sharp halberd blade, propelled by furious power, tore through the layers of thick shell covering the spider leg with overwhelming force, sending black fragments splashing into the air.
Amidst a series of ear-splitting crunch-crunch-crunch sounds, Rose's raised, colossal spider leg, which even when folded was over five hundred meters long, suddenly shattered explosively in the sky after countless thick cracks appeared, turning into a sky full of debris that thudded onto the ground, creating countless craters.
"Roar!"
Rose, who had one of her 'long legs' shattered by Rorschach, had her beautiful and charming face instantly twist. Endless resentment appeared in her three massive eyes. Her alluring red lips opened, and while letting out a piercing shriek that could burst eardrums, the depths of her bottomless throat suddenly shot out a large expanse of snow-white spider silk, covering the sky as it showered down on Rorschach.
At the same time, her thousand-meter-tall massive body was supported by her remaining few long legs. The sixteen eyes on her abdomen all widened simultaneously, focusing on Zephyr, who had already rushed in front of her.
Buzz!
Zephyr, who was furiously unleashing attacks with his raised mechanical arm into the two gaping flesh wounds on Rose's body, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his head, as if Garp had punched him in the back of the head. His head throbbed.
The sudden dizziness made Zephyr's attack falter slightly.
It was this momentary pause that allowed the snow-white spider silk, thicker than the cables on the Kirin Go, to ensnare him.
Zephyr's body was immediately wrapped in thick spider silk, bundled into a large zongzi.
His feet were bound, preventing him from using Geppo, but Zephyr didn't panic. This spider silk only temporarily bound his body and restricted his movements; it couldn't break through his Haki defense. Given a little time, Zephyr believed he could tear open these slimy, disgusting things.
However, the spider silk overhead seemed endless, continuously shooting from Rose's open red lips, layering upon layer, instantly submerging Zephyr deep within the tide of silk.
Such thick spider silk, with its inherent toughness and strength, was enough to bind even Sea Kings.
Therefore, even someone as strong as Zephyr couldn't break free immediately.
Being tied up like a zongzi in front of his student, Zephyr's old face immediately felt a bit awkward.
Fortunately, Rorschach wasn't free to watch his embarrassment at the moment.
Facing the overwhelming spiderweb, Rorschach dared not be easily ensnared. He wielded the Heavenly Dragon Halberd in his hand, delivering a slash at the giant spiderweb above him.
Whoosh!
A fierce wind compressed around the blue-glowing halberd blade, forming a several-hundred-meter-long massive slash, like a crescent moon falling from the sky, thudding as it cut through the center of the huge spiderweb.
Rorschach's towering body, wreathed in wind and thunder, was about to shoot into the sky, bursting out from the broken hole.
However, the thick spider silk, severed by the Heavenly Dragon Halberd's slash, rapidly reconnected. In just a few seconds, the large amount of spider silk had re-adhered, and the giant spiderweb that had fallen overhead was completely unharmed, making Rorschach's mouth twitch.
But, if one attack wasn't enough, he would unleash a few more.
Rorschach's right arm muscles bulged. He wielded the halberd in a single arm, making it seem like a blur, slashing out dozens of huge arc-shaped slashes one after another with whooshing sounds, cutting towards the incoming large web.
At the same time, several slashes also headed towards Zephyr, who was submerged in spider silk below.
Accompanied by the pff-pff-pff sounds of spider silk breaking, Rorschach burst through the spiderweb's interception by stepping on air, thrusting his halberd forward, shooting out a blinding lightning bolt that struck towards the eyes on Rose's face.
"You naughty little brother, you're not well-behaved at all. Treating a woman so roughly means you won't find a wife."
Rose's red lips curved, and a captivating allure appeared on her face.
She didn't dodge, merely closing her eyelids. A flowing, inky blackness rapidly appeared across her entire beautiful face.
The lightning bolt that shot towards her struck her black eyelids, but it was like a waterfall impacting a hard reef, only splashing into tiny electric arcs, failing to harm her in the slightest.
Rorschach's pupils contracted.
"High-level Armament Haki! She's truly an old monster."
Upon hearing the words "old monster," Rose's recently closed eyes snapped open. A hint of anger appeared on her colossal face.
"You dare call me old? If you say that... your big sister will be very angry."
The ground rumbled and trembled. Rose raised her swollen, spherical abdomen high, revealing a terrifying maw filled with intertwined fangs beneath the sixteen eyes arranged on it.
Countless thick, sharp spines crisscrossed, appearing incredibly monstrous.
As Rose's bulging abdomen continuously pulsed, her tightly closed maw suddenly split open, revealing a deep, writhing abyss of flesh within.
A high-pitched, piercing shriek erupted from Rose's mouth.
"My children! Dream Kingdom managers, come out! Help Mama deal with these invaders who don't know how to enjoy happiness, who are never satisfied!"
As Rose's shriek died down, countless glowing points, like fireflies, lit up within the gaping, bloody maw, making Rorschach's scalp tingle.
They were, in fact, countless densely packed eyes.
Whoosh!
The gaping, grotesque maw was like the entrance to an ant's nest, inverted hundreds of meters in the air.
Human-faced spiders of all sizes continuously surged from the constantly writhing and bulging maw. They scurried out, opening their eight long, black-haired legs, and rapidly crawled all over Rose's body, even covering her enchanting face with countless human-faced spiders.
The human-faced spiders, causing chills and goosebumps, were like a vast black tide, moving rapidly along the spiderwebs clinging to Rose, leaping towards Rorschach.
"Damn it! I have trypophobia!"
Looking at the incalculable number of black-haired spiders before him, Rorschach felt a wave of disgust.
Especially the human faces appearing on the backs of those human-faced spiders; each face's appearance and expression were no different from real people.
Some showed despair, some pain, some anger, some confusion.
As they surged towards Rorschach like a tide, they also opened their mouths, emitting various meaningless shouts and chaotic wails, making one's sanity plummet.
This wasn't One Piece; it was like an Outer God from Cthulhu had manifested.
Looking at the large maw in Rose's abdomen in the distance, still spewing countless black-haired spiders, Rorschach couldn't help but raise one hand to the sky, releasing the vast amount of lightning energy accumulated within him all at once.
He intended to evaporate this goosebump-inducing insect army with a single burst of lightning.
But at that moment, the spider silk below suddenly broke open, and Zephyr burst out, his old face flushed from being held captive. His chest heaved, and he coughed as he waved to Rorschach.
"No... Don't attack those spiders! Attack her main body!"
"Huh? Why?" Rorschach was a little confused.
Zephyr took a few more gasps, dodged the pounce of a dozen table-sized spiders, and used Geppo to rush into the air.
"Because those aren't spiders at all; they're all people whose minds and bodies she's controlled!"
The words that came from Zephyr's mouth completely stunned Rorschach.
People?
He stopped his action of releasing lightning, dodged the pounce of dozens of human-faced spiders, reached out and grabbed a three-meter-long human-faced spider, and soared thousands of meters into the sky, looking at the human face on the back of the black-haired spider he was holding.
It was an old man's face, expressionless, with hollow, lifeless eyes.
He didn't know what it had gone through, but Rorschach couldn't see a single trace of fondness for life on its face.
Looking at this black-haired spider with eight segmented legs, over four meters long, Rorschach looked and looked again.
This thing was a person?
Besides the human face on its back, what part of this thing connected to a human in any way?
"I told you this crazy woman's dream world is different from Tenzan's. Within the range of her ability, she can construct a world interwoven with reality and illusion. These small spiders don't look like people because they've been affected by her ability for too long, even their bodies have been reshaped into her desired form."
Rorschach began to understand.
It sounded similar to Sugar's fruit under Doflamingo, which could turn people into toys.
But this one was clearly more bizarre and terrifying.
"Can they still recover?" Rorschach retracted the lightning energy escaping from his body and dropped the human-faced spider he was holding from a thousand meters high.
"I don't know. In any case, try not to kill these small spiders. Let's defeat Rose first."
As Zephyr spoke, his mechanical arm, covered in high-level Armament Haki, had already slammed into one of the large eyes on Rose's abdomen, causing the resentful eye to burst and squirt juice, like a squashed grape.
Since he couldn't kill them, he could only increase his flight altitude and charge towards Rose's face.
Suddenly, Rorschach's expression changed slightly as he looked downwards.
He saw tens of thousands of human-faced spiders, like a black tide, curling their bodies and crouching down, their eight segmented legs folded.
Their synchronized movement made the black tide below seem to suddenly sink a notch.
But the next instant, countless human-faced spiders sprang up towards Rorschach in the sky with whooshing sounds.
Their jumping speed was like that of super-large fleas.
In a flash, thousands of human-faced spiders suddenly appeared in mid-air like dark clouds, engulfing Rorschach entirely.
"Shit!"
Rorschach roared in frustration. A terrifying, storm-like aura erupted from his body, instantly transforming into a black and red energy mass that swept in all directions.
Since he couldn't directly blast them with lightning, he would clear the area with Conqueror's Haki!
Black and red lightning extended and shot out into the void. The strong mental intimidation of Conqueror's Haki swept everywhere. The countless human-faced spiders that had sprung up with whooshing sounds suddenly halted their charge towards Rorschach, then began to plummet downwards.
The gathered dark clouds dispersed, and the spider swarm crashed to the ground like hail.
With no more fragile little spiders blocking him, Rorschach had no more qualms. His massive body crushed the air, trailing a long sonic boom cloud across the sky, releasing rings of clouds. He was like a meteor streaking across the firmament, slamming towards Rose's back, which was as wide as a plaza.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Three earth-shattering explosions sounded. Three more of Rose's giant spider legs, which were dug deep into the earth, simultaneously pulled out and raised high, stabbing directly at Rorschach.
But Rorschach ignored them.
Although these spider legs were terrifyingly powerful, they were too slow to catch him.
For opponents of similar strength, an overly large body could sometimes become a hindrance in battle.
This was also why Rorschach rarely used the Kirin's beast form for close combat.
Just as Rorschach's body, wreathed in terrifying lightning, was about to slam into Rose's back, one of the human-faced spiders covering Rose's face suddenly shot a thick lightning bolt at Rorschach.
With a crack, the lightning struck Rorschach's forehead, making him pause for a moment, but his descent did not stop.
Accompanied by Rose's shrill scream, where Rorschach slammed down, a large area of Rose's back carapace shattered. A vast amount of blood had just gushed from the broken carapace when it was boiled by the high-temperature current, causing Rose even more excruciating pain. Her massive body struggled wildly, as if making the entire sky tremble with her.
Rumble!
Thunder roared, causing Rorschach to turn his head. He saw a human-faced spider, flashing with electric light, spring from Rose's face. Its eight spider legs continuously bounced, shooting thick lightning bolts at Rorschach.
The human face on the back of that spider was very familiar.
Rorschach couldn't help but be astonished, "Enel?"
