Chapter 384: Destroy the Devil and Make the Next Plan!
"Bang, bang, bang—!"
The chamber shook violently as the clash continued.
Ryuunosuke could feel it clearly—this monster’s strength was terrifying.
And yet, despite such power, the creature now fled before him in desperation.
It wasn’t hard to guess why.
This was fear—raw, primal fear of death.
For soone nearly immortal, that fear was even greater than what ordinary n could ever feel.
And right now, Ryuunosuke had forced him to taste it.
"Don’t bother with futile struggles."
"If you can tell where you ca from, and what your purpose is..."
"Maybe, I’ll let you live."
As his words fell, his aura surged.
Holy power roared forth, reinforced by his will. The phantom dragons encircling him closed in, surrounding Green Bull like hunters in the night.
"Trying to get information from ?"
Green Bull suddenly stopped running. His expression shifted from fear to sothing cold and unreadable.
"I’m just a pawn. If you think you’ll learn secrets from ... you’re overthinking."
He laughed hollowly, then raised his head, eyes blazing with madness.
"Since I’m destined to die here anyway, then show !"
"Show the power of soone who has mastered holiness!"
And with that, he charged again.
This ti, his strikes were different—desperate, explosive, each blow fueled by the last scraps of life force in his body.
He was strong—frighteningly so. Against ordinary opponents, he could have crushed them with ease.
But there was sothing else.
Hidden within his strikes was a strange, corrosive energy.
The Devil’s power...
Ryuunosuke recognized it instantly. Though its texture was alien, it was eerily similar to the dark energy he had sensed in liodas and the others.
Yet under his holy blessing, that corrosive force slid off harmlessly.
"Pathetic."
"Puff!"
In an instant, Ryuunosuke caught him by the throat, fingers digging into his neck like iron claws.
"This farce ends now."
"You’ve proven useless. So—die."
At his command, the dragons sward.
Golden light erupted, consuming Green Bull whole.
"AAAAHHHH—!!"
A scream rose from the abyss itself. The entire chamber quaked, shadows rippling as the devil’s essence writhed in pain.
Ryuunosuke’s eyes sharpened.
"Co out!"
He yanked his hand through the writhing energy, dragging forth a shadowy form from within Green Bull body.
Black and gray, twisted and formless—it pulsed like living smoke.
"So this is the essence of a devil’s will?" Ryuunosuke muttered, frowning. "Strange... it doesn’t resemble the demons of the Seven Deadly Sins at all."
Those demons had bodies—horns, forms of flesh and bone.
But what he held now was no more than a ball of corrupted energy, without shape or face.
"One day, you too will—"
"Puff!"
Ryuunosuke didn’t let it finish. He unleashed holy power directly into it. The shadow scread once, then was obliterated before it could even struggle.
All that remained was a single ball of condensed energy, trembling faintly in his hand.
Ryuunosuke studied it briefly, then raised his palm.
The darkness around him shattered, and sunlight stread into the chamber once more.
"Captain, are you alright?"
Law appeared, worry etched across his face. That blast of energy from Green Bull had been dreadful, and for a mont he thought even Ryuunosuke might have been hard.
But seeing him standing tall, unscathed, he finally exhaled.
"I’m fine." Ryuunosuke tossed Green Bull corpse onto the boat like discarded trash. The gray-black essence followed, dropped carelessly onto the deck. Then, as if nothing had happened, he sat down again. "Now... let’s fish. This ti, I’ll catch a Sea King."
Law twitched.
Green Bull body lying cold on the planks—that, he could accept. His captain was ruthless; he was used to that.
But that thing—that gray-black mass radiating a hellish aura—it made his skin crawl.
Its presence was suffocating, colder than the breath of the grave.
He wanted to ask what it was, but seeing Ryuunosuke’s calm focus on fishing, Law kept silent.

anwhile, ti passed.
On the Wallos Islands, the battle reached its end.
As Ryuunosuke rembered, everyone had joined forces to bring down Bullet. But this ti, the Dragon Hunter Pirates were involved.
The first Division led by Najenda were not just followers—they were hardened fighters.
With their strength, plus Doflamingo’s assault, bullet could not withstand it.
In the end, Luffy claid the Eternal Pose... and destroyed it.
The Navy arrived shortly after, but seeing the Dragon Hunter Pirates’ Divisi8n among the victors, they hesitated.
After brief deliberation, Fujitora simply dropped a teorite as a symbolic gesture of justice, bowed in respect, and withdrew.

Three days later, aboard the Ship of Gods.
"Captain, that battle was amazing!" Leona bead, recounting the clash in detail. "Their fighting styles were incredible—I’ve never seen so much chaos in one place!"
Ryuunosuke nodded calmly. "The battle here is over. Next, Nojiko will take us to Pluto."
"Got it, Captain." Nojiko’s hands moved swiftly over the controls, setting their course.
"Captain, are we really going after Pluto now?" Najenda asked curiously. "Did sothing happen?"
Ryuunosuke’s gaze hardened. "Yes. Sothing big is coming. I’ve already summoned back the Seven Deadly Sins and the Phantom Troupe. Nojiko—does our course overlap with Navy Headquarters?"
"It does, but I can bypass it if you want," she replied smoothly.
"No need." Ryuunosuke’s voice was firm. "We’ll head straight there. After all... their admiral is still on our ship."
Nojiko nodded silently and adjusted their path.
Two days later, the horizon filled with ships. Dozens of them, their presence undeniable.
"Captain, we’re back!"
"Why the urgent summons? What’s happening?"
The mbers of the second and fourth divisions stepped onto the deck of the Ship of Gods, their voices full of anticipation.
There sat Ryuunosuke, calm as ever, fishing rod in hand—waiting.
