189 Chapter 187: Kalifa's Growth Props!

It's about the possibility of resurrecting Blueno, Kalifa will naturally not refuse.

After mustering up her courage, she let Rifan swallow herself.

Afterwards, Rifan used the Bubble fruit as a sacrifice to brought him into the special copy space of the final invitation.

As Rifan speculates, copy space is indeed the situation when Shiki invaded Enies Lobby.

At this moment, Shiki is standing in the air and jokingly watching the struggling actions of cp9 people.

Rifan can even see Kalifa in the past, and when he use Observation Haki, he even perceive his past-self hidden underground.

Of course, Rifan knows that those are not his real self.

It is just an energy body created by copy space using special energy.

"How does it feel,

"You should be able to see it."

Rifan took off his shirt and revealed Kalifa's face on his chest.

"I can see, although it is a bit awkward, but it does not affect my sight."

Kalifa blinked and quickly set her eyes on Shiki and everyone in CP.

"Captain Rifan, c-can you really only save one person?"

Kalifa watched the dead Fukurou, Jabra and others and couldn't help asking.

"Unfortunately, Kalifa, I can't do this with my ability!"

"No, you don't need to apologize, Captain Rifan, I took it for granted, it's already a miracle to be able to save Blueno alone."

"It's good that you understand Kalifa, it's almost time to intervene now, and I'm going to follow the plan."

Rifan said, then jumped towards Blueno and rushed over.

And as Rifan started to act.

Kalifa saw that Rob Lucci, Kaku, and even her past self that had existed on the scene turned into light and disappeared.

Among the people in cp9, only Blueno still exists.

This also made Kalifa realize that what Rifan said was true.

Being able to save Blueno is Rifan's limit.

Rifan quickly came to Blueno who was secured by Shiki using the earth coil.

Without waiting for any reaction from Blueno.

Rifan directly used Dark Fruit to drag Blueno into the dark space.

"Rifan, why are you here?!"

Seeing Rifan appearing, Shiki suspended in mid-air immediately frowned.

At this moment, Shiki is injected with Alabasta's relevant memories by the copy space.

So he knows about Rifan's existence.

Of course, the intelligence about Rifan.

Shiki also only grasped the intelligence of Rifan's strength as of Alabasta.

"Sorry, I'm not interested in answering a disabled person's question."

Rifan glanced at Shiki provocatively, and then rushed towards the coast.

Rifan's words obviously hurt Shiki's pride.

His expression froze, and he immediately used his devil fruit to chase after Rifan.

At intervals, he employs his Devil Fruit ability to hurl enormous rocks and other objects, creating obstacles and causing disruptions for Rifan.

Although Rifan was able to use the power of Thunder Fruit to throw off Shiki.

But in order to be able to lure Shiki to the sea, he chose to cast a speed that Shiki could keep up with.

A few minutes later, after Rifan successfully brought Shiki to the sky above the sea.

Rifan grinned sardonically at Shiki.

Utilizing the Door Door Fruit, he created an aerial doorway and soared through it, entering a unique spatial circle crafted by the same fruit.

Upon witnessing Rifan's vanishing act, Shiki instinctively scowled, activating his Observation Haki to initiate a search for Rifan.

"Captain Rifan, what are you going to do next?"

Kalifa asked aloud on Rifan's chest, while her eyes were fixed on Shiki who was searching for Rifan outside the different space.

"It's very simple, attack that guy first."

"Later, I will let my devil's clone use 'Divine Departure' to attack that guy."

"Even if he reacted the moment I opened the air door."

But if that man sees the moves of the former his rival and lover, there will be a momentary opening.

"If the plan goes well, maybe the attack of my devil clone can directly blast that guy into the sea."

Rifan smiled, crossed his hands in front of his chest, and used the power of Flower-Flower Fruit to build little devil clone.

Because Rifan injected a lot of Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki into it when building the devil clone.

The devil clone at this moment is more deterrent than the devil clone Rifan summoned before.

Kalifa couldn't help trembling just looking at it.

It's no wonder, after all, Rifan didn't manipulate the devil clone to cover up the Haki on it's body.

But the high-level Conqueror's Haki didn't stun Kalifa at the moment because she was in Rifan's body.

Rifan took out the demon sword Sandai Kitetsu from his item inventory and handed it to his devil clone.

Subsequently, the devil's clone swiftly imbued the demon sword's blade with Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki.

Once the clone had amassed sufficient charge, Rifan suddenly maneuverer it to a position directly above Shiki. Then, Rifan activated a spatial gateway.

Shiki, who had been using his Observation Haki, notice it the moment the air door opened.

And quickly turned around and swung his sword to slash at the devil's clone that had come to him.

However, when seeing the 'Divine Departure' wielded by the little devil's avatar.

Sure enough, as Rifan predicted, there was a momentary pause in his movements.

And this momentary pause also made him lose the best opportunity to resist.

boom!

An abrupt, thunderous noise reverberated across the sky, erupting suddenly.

Shiki found himself reeling as the blade of the devil's clone collided with him.

His body was sent hurtling through the air, ultimately crashing in an inverted position towards the sea.

Just when Rifan thought his plan was going to succeed, the sea below Shiki automatically parted to both sides.

As for Shiki himself, he fell into the void after the separation of the sky and the sea.

"This guy has really developed his Float Devil Fruit to the limit!"

"Sure enough, it's not enough to rely on the my devil's clone to end the battle."

"Looks like I have to use plan B."

Rifan, who was in a different space, shook his head, and was already ready to play by himself.

boom!

With a loud noise, Shiki flew into the sky from the hollow below the sea surface.

Accompanying him, there are also four lion heads constructed of sea water.

Compared with before, there was obviously an extra bloodstain on Shiki's abdomen.

There is also a blood at the corner of his mouth.

"Asshole, I'll kill you!"

Shiki let out a roar, and then swung his big hand forward.

In an instant, those huge lion heads made of seawater rolled towards Rifan's devil clone with infinite coercion.

He himself followed closely behind, ready to attack the devil clone at any time.

However, at this moment, Rifan suddenly opened the air door on the side of Shiki, and flew out from the different space.

Shiki frowned, and his Observation Haki locked onto Rifan instantly, intending to attack Rifan with two lion heads.

However, just as he was about to employ his Devil Fruit powers to manipulate the sea-water-formed lion head he had created, Shiki was taken aback to find that he couldn't control the seawater with the same ease as before.

"What's happening?"

With astonishment evident in his eyes, Shiki observed the sea lion head he had been commanding, only to realize that Rifan's devil clone was already swiftly advancing with Divine Departure aimed at him.

In a state of urgency, he temporarily set aside his confusion and relinquished his hold over the seawater. This inadvertent action proved advantageous for Rifan, who was using his Float Devil Fruit ability to manipulate the immense sea lion head.

"Taste your own tactics!"

"Lion Majesty—Water Coil!"

Rifan bellowed as he harnessed the Float Devil Fruit's power, propelling the seawater-constructed lion head – previously abandoned by Shiki – towards both Shiki and his devil clone.

Simultaneously, Rifan propelled himself towards Shiki, closely trailing the massive sea lion head.

"What?!"

Shiki, caught off guard while attempting to counter his devil clone's attack, found himself faced once again with the sea lion head's assault, leaving him momentarily vulnerable.

Before he could react, the imposing seawater-formed lion heads had already converged in front of him.

Driven by necessity, Shiki gritted his teeth through the residual agony from the previous Divine Departure attack. He retaliated by executing a flying slash to repel Rifan's devil clone, while simultaneously unleashing a series of rapid slashes to sever the seawater lion's head.

At this time, Rifan himself had already arrived in front of Shiki who had just used his tricks and had no time to adjust his posture and aura.

'Armament Haki + Conqueror's Infusion!'

"Fish man Karate— Five Thousand Tile True Punch!"

Rifan screamed in his heart, and drew a semicircle with his right hand.

Then it blasted out towards Shiki's face.

Although Shiki wants to dodge, Rifan has already used Observation Haki, which can predict the future, to predict Shiki's dodge position.

Therefore, even if Shiki wanted to dodge, it was already too late.

'Damn it! I'm Shiki a great pirate!'

'How could it be possible to lose here!'

"Aaaaahhhhh!!!"

Shiki roared angrily, and even directly used the Float Devil Fruit to control the oars on his head, forcing it out.

Then, he condensed Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki on his sword with the fastest speed, and slashed at Rifan's fist.

Booom!

Shiki's body immediately flew upside down.

Although he condensed Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki.

But in the case of being injured and in a hurry, his slashes could not resist Rifan's fish man karate.

Even so, Rifan himself paused for a moment because of the powerful impact on his body.

Shiki spat out a mouthful of blood and is trying to use his ability to distance himself from Rifan.

However, Rifan's devil clone suddenly appeared behind him.

His devil's clone stared at Shiki, and four arms grew out of his shoulders, and quickly stretched out to grab the limbs of Shiki, who had not yet adjusted his body.

And twisted Shiki's body hard, intending to directly break his lumbar spine!

At the same time, the original two hands of the devil clone suddenly raised the demon sword Kitetsu and stabbed at Shiki's heart!

'asshole!'

Shiki cursed inwardly and utilized the Float Devil Fruit to dislodge the sharp blade embedded in his foot, clenching it between his teeth.

Desperately, he twisted his head and swung the longsword, which was held in his mouth, towards the blade of the devil clone.

A metallic clang resounded.

As Shiki's sharp blade collided with the Sandai Kitetsu, the devil clone attack continued.

A deflection has occurred.

The blade that was going to hit Shiki's heart, just pierced Shiki's abdomen.

Under the pain, Shiki spat out a mouthful of blood.

The pain in the lungs and the pain in the lumbar spine twisted by the devil's clone already made his eyes red.

With a roar, he clenched the sharp blade in his mouth and thrust it into the heart of the devil's clone.

Shiki aimed to force the devil clone to release him through this action.

However, he hadn't anticipated that the devil clone wouldn't attempt to evade.

Instead of evading directly, the clone shifted its body slightly to avoid critical points, permitting Shiki's sharp knife to pierce its form.

Shiki frowned, and immediately wanted to pull out the sharp blade.

But he found that there was a huge resistance coming from the blade piercing into the devil's body, making him unable to pull out the sharp blade no matter what.

Just when Shiki was going to use the power of Float Devil Fruit to pry the blade.

A great sense of crisis suddenly came from the position in front of him.

He stared forward with red eyes, but saw that Rifan himself had arrived in front of him at some point!

Just when Shiki was busy dealing with the devil clone.

Rifan's right hand drew a semicircle, quickly compressing and agglomerating the surrounding sea water that was still falling towards Rifan's hand.

In a blink of an eye, Rifan compressed the water volume of a huge lion's head into a ball the size of a tennis ball.

Not only that, Rifan also injected huge Armament Haki and Conqueror's Haki into the water polo!

In an instant, the originally clear and transparent water polo turned into a black ball with red and black electric lights shining on its surface!

The danger that Shiki perceives comes from this black ball in Rifan's hand!

If it weren't for the black ball still flowing, it would look more like an iron ball made of metal at this moment!

"Damn it, let me go!"

The overwhelming sense of danger forced Shiki to intensify his struggle, attempting desperately to break free from the grasp of the devil's clone.

He even utilized his Float Devil Fruit ability to manipulate nearby suspended objects, using them as projectiles against both himself and the devil clone, without distinguishing between friend or foe.

His aim was simple: to distance himself from Rifan and the black orb in Rifan's possession.

However, the "Divine Departure," previously employed by the devil clone, along with Rifan's Fish-Man Karate, struck him directly.

Despite being under attack, the devil clone still constrained Shiki's movements, rendering it impossible for Shiki to expect the Rifan-created clone to release its grip on him, right?

"No need to struggle, it's time to end this farce!"

Rifan said.

Then, he slammed the black water ball into the heart of Shiki whose body had been twisted into a slingshot shape by the devil's clone!

"Fish man Karate · Secret Art · Black Hole!"

The moment Rifan's palm touched Shiki's heart.

The black water polo exploded instantly, emitting black-red electric light and powerful shock waves.

That huge power immediately involved Shiki's whole body.

The shock wave formed by the black water polo pierced through Shiki's skin like a sharp arrow.

Even came to his back and involved his devil's clone.

Withstanding this blow, Shiki could no longer maintain his consciousness, rolled his eyes and passed out directly.

The slash of 'Divine Departure' is powerful, not only because of its huge power, but also because it is difficult to dodge but it didn't kill Shiki.

But for Devil Fruit power + armament Haki that condenses internal destruction and the powerful Fish man Karate with conqueror infusion that I don't know how many times it made the attack more stronger,

If it can hit, it goes without saying that it will have a great impact!

The seawater carried in the attack can even make the devil fruit user fall into a state of powerlessness.

No matter how powerful Shiki is, after being hit by this move, it is still difficult to maintain a clear consciousness.

And with his coma, the little devil clone finally completed his mission.

Accompanied by a 'click' sound.

Shiki's lumbar spine broke directly, and the back of his head and legs also came to the same space.

[Rifan, you have completed Kalifa's final invitation task, and the special rewards are 'Kalifa Growth Scroll' and 'Double Fruit Ability Awakening Scroll'. ]

[Using 'Kalifa Growth Scroll', Kalifa will be able to gain future power.]

[Using the 'Double Devil Fruit power awakening scroll', you will be able to eat the next Devil Fruit again to gain the ability on the premise of eating the next Devil Fruit. ]
