"Who are you?"
"My name is Uchiha Obito. I heard the Pirate Empress often goes out to sea to plunder, so I assumed you must have obtained quite a few Devil Fruits. I came here specifically for them."
The Empress raised her beautiful eyes, shielding the brand on her back with her body.
"I don't have any Devil Fruits. Get out of Amazon Lily immediately."
At this moment, Sandersonia and Marigold rushed in, flustered.
"Elder Sister, what's going on!?"
"What? Someone invaded?"
The two of them looked at Obito, a flash of shock in their expressions.
The Empress's eyes were cold as she gave the order.
"Kill him!"
Sandersonia and Marigold didn't hesitate at all. The moment the Empress gave the order, they transformed into monsters with human heads and snake bodies.
One had hair like fire, the other had hair like steel.
"Die!"
In an instant, their hair turned into the fiercest of blades, instantly crashing down on Obito.
Facing the attack, Obito didn't move, paying them no mind whatsoever.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
The two women's attacks landed densely on Obito, but he seemed oblivious. All the attacks passed right through his body, unable to touch his true form at all.
"No wonder you're so arrogant. Are you a Logia user?"
"If you think a Logia body makes you invincible, you are sorely mistaken."
Sandersonia and Marigold sneered. Their hair was coated in pitch-black Armament Haki as they unleashed another dense barrage of attacks.
However, they still couldn't hit Obito's physical body.
This strange scene shocked both of them. Not only that, but even the Empress frowned.
"What!! Armament Haki has no effect!!"
Sandersonia and Marigold were shocked.
In a situation where a Logia user's fluid body makes them invincible, aside from elemental weaknesses, Armament Haki is the only thing that can attack a Logia user's true body.
But against Obito, Armament Haki was useless.
"Who on earth are you!?"
"Hmph, a Logia Devil Fruit? Do you really think you can compare that kind of thing to my ability? Don't make me laugh."
The Kamui (Intangibility) ability made it impossible for anything to touch his true body.
Therefore, no matter how powerful your ability is, if it can't affect him, it's useless. This was the bugged nature of Obito's Kamui.
Compared to the fluidity of a Logia, the difference was vast.
"Who exactly are you, and what faction do you belong to? What are you doing on Amazon Lily?"
At this moment, the Empress frowned, looking at Obito and speaking in a deep voice.
Her ability was useless against him, Armament Haki was useless, and physical attacks just passed through his strange body.
It was simply an invincible ability.
"Didn't I just say? You must have quite a few Devil Fruits in your treasury, right?"
"Devil Fruits..."
The Empress muttered, her mind racing. With such an ability, he couldn't be a nobody. Therefore, it must be some big shot who wants to collect Devil Fruits.
Who? Could it be... Kaido of the Four Emperors?
Rumor has it that Kaido wants to collect Devil Fruits to build an army of ability users. Could this be one of Kaido's subordinates?
"I don't have any here. Please leave Amazon Lily."
"No, you should have some. I won't take them for free. After all, you worked hard to steal them, so it would be bullying to just take them. How about a trade?"
"I said, I don't have the Devil Fruits you need here. As for a trade, I don't need one either. Get out of my country immediately."
The Empress frowned. She didn't know Uchiha Obito, but he might be one of Kaido's men, so she didn't want to provoke him. Besides, she didn't know him at all, and the matter with the Seven Warlords was already giving her a headache.
"I'll give you one more chance to rephrase that. My patience is limited."
"Hmph? Are you trying to force a sale?"
"Hah? Force a sale? We're all pirates, why act so righteous? On this sea, such things are too common. Is there anything on Amazon Lily that wasn't stolen?"
"Get out! I don't have any!"
The Empress glared fiercely at Obito.
Hearing this, Obito's right Mangekyō Sharingan narrowed slightly.
"Such a strong reaction. Are you afraid the thing on your back will be seen?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
The Empress's face turned pale, harboring a sliver of hope as she feigned calm.
"The Hoof of the Soaring Dragon..."
"Perfume Femur!"
A kick like a whirlwind appeared in front of Obito in a flash.
"In that case, die for me."
With a sweep, the Empress's leg passed straight through Obito's head, meeting no resistance.
At the same time, the moment it passed through Obito's head, he raised his right hand and grabbed the Empress's calf. The next moment, a powerful suction force instantly came from the spiral hole in Obito's mask, grabbing hold of the Empress's body.
The Empress looked shocked.
"What—?"
She tried to escape, but found it was too late.
"What is this ability?"
"Go inside!"
In just a single encounter, the Empress was captured by Obito.
Sandersonia and Marigold watched, stunned, then shouted explosively and rushed forward.
"Where did you take Elder Sister!?"
