Battle of the Multiverse Part 1

As their fist collided, Luffy couldn't help but feel strange. Their collision created a powerful shockwave, but it didn't push him away.

It was heavy and stronger than his fist, but it wasn't that big of a difference.

So, why did Liam say his opponent would be a hundred times more difficult?

He couldn't confirm it, but it didn't matter to him.

His only goal from the beginning was to defeat his opponent.

As their fight started, they immediately pushed others to the sidelines. The sheer force of their collision made others leave.

Sasuke and Zoro looked at each other before dashing away. But while moving, they started clashing their swords.

Sasuke's Kusanagi was coated in Lightning Chakra as he fought Zoro.

His Three Tomoe Sharingan gave him dynamic vision and the ability of precognition similar to Observation.

As their blades collided, they kept moving away.

Sasuke was a fast-paced swordsman, while Zoro was just a pure swordsman. He was fast, but Sasuke was using his Lightning Chakra to increase his speed.

Giving him the speed to attack Zoro from multiple directions before Zoro could move his blade.

But thanks to Zoro's immense strength and Future Sight, he was able to keep up rather easily.

As their blades kept colliding, Sasuke suddenly backed away and sheathed the Kusanagi sword.

Then, his fingers started moving rapidly, forming different hand signs.

[Fire Release- Great Fireball Jutsu]

A stream of fire spurted out of his mouth, slowly cumulating into a large fireball that went straight towards Zoro.

Feeling the heat of the fireball, Zoro clutched the third sword in his mouth, jumped, and spun while swinging his swords.

[Three Swords Style- 1080 Pound Phoenix]

Three dazzling sword slashes emerged from the edge of his blades, merging into one large slash that tore apart the fireball.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

But it didn't stop there. It kept moving forward, colliding against three large shurikens that were directly connected to Sasuke through wires.

Lightning sparkled on those shurikens as they kept pushing against the blue sword slash.

Bang!

A large amount of lightning Chakra gathered at those shurikens as they passed through the wires, increasing the rotation of those shurikens.

That slash was torn apart by the shurikens, and those shurikens kept moving towards Zoro.

Seeing this, Zoro slashed his swords up and down twice, creating large slashes that moved in a square.

The square slash struck the lightning-infused shurikens, instantly locking their rotation, forcing them to lose all of their momentum and speed.

As they stopped, the shurikens dropped while the slash dissipated in mid-air.

To increase its precision and stability, Zoro had made it a lot less sharp and given it a bit less force.

Seeing this, Sasuke immediately dashed forward. His speed reached so fast that Zoro was barely able to react.

But with his Observation Haki, Zoro was able to see where Sasuke was coming from and coated his sword with ironclad Armament Haki.

Ding!

Their swords slashed once more. Despite his speed, Sasuke wasn't able to catch him off guard, forcing him to back down.

'So, an ability that allows him to sense my attack type, range, precision, and even intent behind it.'

'Another ability that allows him to coat himself with a strange energy. It's more spiritual, but it is like an armor around his body and a sword.'

'Finally, his swordsmanship. It's not like anything I've ever seen. If he were in my world, he would've definitely been the greatest swordsman.'

'All of his moves come from his strength, but despite every attack causing so much damage, his cells are as vibrant as before.'

'So, either those skills do not cost him any stamina, or he is just built differently.'

'Since I can't get an advantage in a tactical battle. I will kick it up a notch.'

As he thought, his eyes changed and released a strange aura.

The next moment, a purple energy started emerging around him.

"I was wondering why your strength is so much weaker than that of an Admiral. So, that's the case!"

Zoro chuckled as he released his Conqueror Haki, coating it around his sword.

"I will defeat you here and become the so-called Admiral Level."

............

"So, another swordsman, huh?"

Sanji lit up his cigarette and spoke.

"I don't like swordsmen. You guys are such a pain in the ass."

Ichigo had his eyes on Zoro instead of Sanji. He couldn't understand why Sasuke suddenly took his opponent.

While they were going after each other, he was supposed to fight Zoro. But in the midst of Luffy and Naruto's collision, Sasuke suddenly changed his opponent.

Sanji's eyebrows twitched. He angrily spun and dashed towards Ichigo, reaching in front of him in a matter of seconds.

"You bastard, I am your opponent."

Bang!

Ichigo instantly drew his sword and blocked the kick. Then, he looked at Sanji with an apologetic smile.

"Sorry, he was supposed to be my opponent, but that guy took him."

Sanji dropped to his feet and asked.

"So, do you know him?"

Ichigo shook his head and replied.

"I don't know any of them. I don't even know why I am here. I was just heading home after dealing with some Hollows, and then, I was here."

"I have dealt with my soul a lot, so I know this isn't my real body. My skills, my abilities, even my Reiatsu have been copied into this body, but it isn't my body."

Upon hearing his reply, Sanji let out a puff of smoke and said.

"You have been brought outside your universe. We have to defeat you if we want to pass through the multiversal barrier and bring back our friend."

"Wait, Universe? You mean I am outside a freaking universe?" Ichigo dropped his sword on the ground and shouted in absolute shock.

He had gone to the Soul Society, and it was considered a Parallel Universe to their Living Universe.

But he didn't think that was the case.

Not to mention, he hadn't seen any sort of alien in the Soul Society, and he didn't think Soul Society was as big as the Universe.

So, for him, this was an experience of leaving his universe.

Suddenly, his expression became sad as he said.

"But I didn't even get to experience what it's like leaving my universe."

Sanji's eyebrows continued twitching.

"Your memories might get erased after being defeated by me. So, can you just focus on the battle?"

"I want to defeat you before that Marimo defeats his enemy."

Hearing that, Ichigo's expression changed, turning extremely sharp as he said.

"Oh, you are so sure you can take me down?"

His overwhelming Reiatsu was like Conqueror Haki, moving towards Sanji's Conqueror Haki.

But Reiatsu wasn't Conqueror Haki. Their existence was different, so they didn't collide.

Instead, Sanji's Conqueror Haki exerted its pressure on Ichigo, and Ichigo's Reiatsu attacked Sanji.

Ichigo felt a shockwave in his Reiatsu.

'Whatever this power is, it can attack my mental state. Fortunately, my mental state isn't weak.'

On the other hand, Sanji also felt the power of the Reiatsu, but being a newly awakened cyborg, he didn't feel any pain.

Even if his body changed slightly, it recovered instantly.

"I'm sorry if that infuriated you, but we have a friend to bring back. And, nobody is gonna stop us."

Suddenly, his body turned into lightning and instantly appeared in front of Ichigo.

Since Ichigo didn't have any precognition abilities, he wasn't able to sense the attack until Sanji's feet landed on his face.

Bang!

Ichigo was sent flying across the ground. He stumbled on the ground several times before he used his feet to stop himself.

When the dust fell, Ichigo's face was revealed.

Nothing, not a single trace of damage, was seen in his body.

'That bastard took my Lightning Kick on the face, and it didn't even fry his skin?'

Sanji was stunned by the sheer display of Ichigo's durability.

But the next moment, he heard a voice, and his Future Sight showed him Ichigo's next attack.

[Ban…..Kai]

But what stunned and frustrated him was the range of this attack.

Just as he turned into lightning, Ichigo appeared in front of him, holding a slender katana in his hand.

[Getsuga]

A yellow hue appeared on the edge of his blade, turning into a fierce wave of energy that shot out from his sword.

[Tensho]

Bang!

The slash tore apart the ground as it moved forward, creating a massive crater in front of him.

Sanji managed to dodge the attack by appearing several kilometers away from him.

For a moment, his heartbeat had soared.

But he slowly calmed it down as he thought.

'Damn! That guy's speed is insane, faster than my Diablo Jambe.'

At this moment, Ichigo's voice rang in his ears.

"I know that feeling. The feeling of having someone close to you taken away by someone stronger than you."

"That's why I will no longer go easy on you. You have to defeat me, surpass me, and save your friend."
