Chapter 89 - Chapter 89: The Nightmare Script – Oars and the Architecture of Death

The air inside the Thriller Bark mansion didn't just turn cold; it became 'Data-Freezed'. Every breath Amine took felt like inhaling shards of broken glass and static. He stood in the center of the grand courtyard, his Golden Stylus vibrating so violently that his entire arm was becoming a blur of violet motion.

​Behind him, the crew was a mess of 'Processing Errors'. Nami's HUD was flickering between red and black, unable to calculate the 'Power-Level' of the entity emerging from the depths.

​"Amine... the ground isn't just shaking," Robin whispered, her hands crossed in a defensive 'Cuerpo' stance. "It's 'Liquefying'. Look at the stones."

​Amine looked down. The very floor of the mansion was 'De-rezzing', turning into a grey, soulless soup of pixels. "It's the 'Mass-Gravity' of his code, Robin! Moria has 'Injected' Luffy's 'Protagonist-Data' into a body that was never meant to hold it. The 'Physics Engine' of this island is 'Crashing' just trying to keep him 'Rendered'!"

​Suddenly, the massive freezer doors exploded outward, sending shards of ice—each the size of a cannonball—flying through the air. A hand, red as dried blood and thick as a tree trunk, gripped the edge of the stone. Then came the face. It was a twisted, demonic 'Asset' of Luffy's grin, but stretched over a skull that had seen five hundred years of decay.

​"MEAT!!!" Oars roared. The sound wave was a physical wall of 'Audio-Distortion'. It hit the crew like a 'Server-Wipe', knocking Franky and Chopper back fifty feet.

​"He's 'Copy-Pasting' Luffy's 'Personality-Subroutine'!" Amine screamed, his stylus etching a 'Shock-Absorber Firewall' in front of the crew. "Moria didn't just steal the shadow; he 'Cloned' the 'Fighting-Logic'! Look at his stance! He's preparing a 'Gomu Gomu no Pistol' but with the 'Kinetic-Force' of a falling moon!"

​Oars pulled back his massive right arm. To any normal eye, it was just a punch. To Amine's 'Scholar-Vision', it was a 'Fatal-Overwrite Command' being written in real-time. The air behind the fist began to 'Vortex', creating a vacuum that started to pull the crew toward the giant.

​"Luffy!" Amine turned to his captain, who was standing on a high balcony, his eyes burning with a raw, physical Haki. "You can't 'Parry' this! His 'Collision-Box' is too large! If that fist lands, the 'System' will register it as an 'Instant-Delete' for anyone in the impact zone!"

​Luffy didn't move. He bit his thumb, his skin already turning a deep, angry pink. "I don't care about 'Boxes', Amine. He's using my 'Movements' to hurt my friends. I'm going to 'Log-In' to his face and kick Moria out of the 'Control-Room'!"
