The moment they appeared, the live broadcast screen before Whitebeard and the others suddenly went black.
Everyone below froze.
"What the hell? Why did the feed cut out all of a sudden?"
Whitebeard's heart jolted.
"Could this be the World Government's backup plan? Nothing better have happened to Lin…" he thought grimly.
Though he hadn't seen everything clearly, he had sensed new presences appearing. Something must have gone wrong on Lin Xuan's side.
Not far away, Roger frowned as well. He had noticed the same thing.
The two exchanged a glance, then both sighed. There was nothing they could do for Lin Xuan right now. The only thing left was to help everyone else and break through the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.
Whitebeard suddenly roared, "Everyone—charge with me!"
"Yes, Pops!"
The Whitebeard Pirates shouted in unison and immediately launched another ferocious assault on the World Government's forces.
"Hah, Whitebeard always steals my lines," Roger laughed, leading his men forward as well. Before long, he was locked in combat with Garp once again.
At the same time, the other members of the New Era Alliance snapped out of their daze and rushed into battle.
High above, in the sky—
"Heh. If you're truly a strong man, why resort to such pointless tricks?"
Among the eight figures, a man in a purple robe spoke coldly. He had long golden hair, and his eyes were sharp as blades.
Earlier, the shadow clone Lin Xuan had hidden away to broadcast the battle had already been discovered.
Lin Xuan bared his teeth and raised an eyebrow.
"As expected of the World Government. Nine of you against me alone? What, planning to bully me with numbers?" he sneered.
"This is judgment, not bullying," another of the eight replied indifferently, his gaze filled with nothing but disdain.
"Enough talk. Kill him."
"I agree."
"Agreed."
Several of the creators nodded, murderous intent flashing in their eyes as they turned back toward Lin Xuan.
The moment the words fell—
Boom!
Space itself shuddered.
Lin Xuan's body was abruptly blasted backward several steps. He frowned, staring ahead. A middle-aged man in golden robes now stood before him—one of the eight creators.
That strike had come from him.
And that was only the beginning.
In the next instant, the other creators unleashed their terrifying attacks as well.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Explosions echoed endlessly through the void. The shockwaves from their clashes were so violent that the surrounding space began collapsing once more.
These creators were incredibly powerful—some of them even stronger than Im.
Facing the combined assault of eight creators plus Im, Lin Xuan wasn't defeated outright, but he was clearly being suppressed and steadily forced onto the defensive.
Finally, his patience snapped.
"Damn it! Ganging up on me, huh? Fine—let's see who has more people!"
Lightning erupted across his body as countless palms slammed forward at once.
"Heaven-Shaking Palm of Myriad Nations!"
Palms wreathed in terrifying lightning blasted out in every direction.
Seizing the moment when one of the creators dodged, Lin Xuan moved in a flash and broke free of their encirclement.
Whoosh!
With a wave of his hand, figures of White Zetsu appeared before him. At the same time, he issued rapid commands to the system.
Then he shouted loudly, "You forced my hand! In that case, taste my ultimate move—Summoning Technique! Come forth!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The White Zetsu quickly cocooned themselves. One by one, massive white cocoons cracked open, figures emerging from within.
When Uchiha Madara appeared, he was just about to speak—only to hear Lin Xuan's shout. His mouth twitched.
Summoning technique?
Are you seriously treating us like summoned beasts?
Sure, the Impure World Reincarnation could technically be considered a summoning technique, but Madara knew full well that wasn't what Lin Xuan meant.
He chose to ignore it.
As more cocoons shattered, all the ninjas Lin Xuan had left behind on Planet Namek in the Dragon Ball world emerged one after another.
Madara swept his gaze across the eight creators and Im, a cold smile spreading across his face.
"Finally my turn. I hope you're strong enough to make me fight at full power."
Hashirama Senju was just as excited. "These guys look pretty tough. Perfect—let's see how far my current strength goes."
Tobirama Senju, Izuna Uchiha, and the others all had battle lust blazing in their eyes.
After Lin Xuan returned to the One Piece world, the connection between the two worlds had been severed once more, and their time flows returned to normal. While only a little over ten days had passed in the One Piece world, more than a year had gone by in the Dragon Ball world.
Madara and the others had trained on Namek for a long time. Now, they finally had a chance to show the results.
The eight creators looked at them in surprise.
They had only just awakened and were seeing Impure World Reincarnation for the first time. The scene before them left them genuinely shaken—they couldn't understand how Madara and the others had appeared.
What unsettled them most was that they couldn't sense any life force from these people. They felt more like the dead than the living.
But it didn't take long for them to calm down.
They assumed this was some kind of Devil Fruit ability of Lin Xuan's—strange, yes, but nothing worth overthinking.
No matter what they were—
They would all be wiped out.
