Father Dagger and the others watched the situation on the beach where the ghost domain was located, frozen in shock.
"The ghost domain is cracking open?!"
"My God, what happened inside? How did it get so damaged."
Without exception, they all showed concern. Although they hadn't entered the ghost domain, Matt had contacted Zhang Wei, and the situation inside had exceeded expectations. There were four Ghost Kings. Considering that Weisili and Zhang Wei were only two people, a four-on-two situation put them at a disadvantage.
And now, the ghost domain was almost shattered. What level of power would it take to cause such damage?
Inevitably, a priest speculated with worry:
"Did Weisili self-destruct to meet God?"
In his view, if Weisili alone couldn't handle four Ghost Kings and still manage to damage the ghost domain to this extent, there was only one possibility: he sacrificed his own power and unleashed some kind of self-detonating ultimate move.
"No, Weisili isn't like me; he wouldn't be so reckless. Perhaps it was Mr. Zhang's doing."
"Is that possible? Is Mr. Zhang that powerful? There are four Ghost Kings inside."
"It must have been Mr. Zhang."
Matt said the last sentence with firm conviction, his gaze fixed on the ghost domain beach emitting white steam.
As soon as he spoke, the priests present turned their attention to him. Father Dagger gave a wry smile and shook his head:
"Matt, Mr. Zhang is indeed formidable, but there are four Ghost Kings inside. Ghost Kings are not ordinary specters. Alas, never mind. May God bless Weisili and Mr. Zhang, and let's focus on what we need to do."
"I believe it was Mr. Zhang. Besides, in this situation, God's blessing won't help; we need the Jade Emperor's blessing."
Matt replied.
...
On the other side.
Inside the ghost domain beach.
At this moment.
The vast beach was shrouded in a hazy mist. It was impossible to see the situation of Zhang Wei's battle with the Ghost Kings, let alone see one's fingers even if they stretched out their hand.
However, because of this.
The stall workers and others were stunned, looking at the white mist and steam before them, with only one thought in their minds... Now I understand why Blackbeard almost killed Ace. The Great Flame Ring · Emperor Flame is truly... too strong, too cool.
Following that.
As the white mist gradually dissipated, people could vaguely see their surroundings. Without exception, everyone was discussing animatedly. Besides talking about how the battle went, the most frequent topic was who Zhang Wei was.
"He's definitely a Devil Fruit user. That's the ability of the Mera Mera no Mi, the Flame-Flame Fruit. I swear on my lower body and my future happiness!"
"Yes! I think so too."
"So that's why he said he was part of the 'D.' clan before, the 'D.' clan of the Pirate King."
Facing these words, many people were bewildered:
"What are you talking about? What Devil Fruit user?"
"Why are you speaking English, but I can't understand what you're saying at all?"
To those who hadn't watched One Piece, the stall workers and others simply and concisely explained the story of One Piece to everyone.
Suddenly.
Many people were dumbfounded, exclaiming things like, "Huh? The power that Great Xia guy just used came from the anime One Piece? Are you kidding me? Can anime moves be used in reality?"
Some even pointed at the stall workers and said:
"You crooked merchant, I think you're just trying to promote your fruit. What nonsense are you spewing? You're saying that Great Xia guy ate your 'Mera Mera no Mi' and gained its abilities. Your ability to brag is on par with Trump."
"Damn it, I'm telling the truth! If you don't believe me, ask those people who were queuing for the Great Xia guy before. They all saw it. The Great Xia guy came to buy my Devil Fruit empty-handed, and then you all saw it too, he took the Devil Fruit out of my packaging bag."
The stall worker said this while picking up his 'Devil Fruits' one by one, preparing to eat them to prove them wrong.
Just as the stall worker picked up a 'Yami Yami no Mi'.
"Look, the mist is almost gone!"
A startled cry rang out.
Everyone who heard it could no longer bother with discussions and looked towards the place where Zhang Wei and the Ghost Kings were fighting.
It could be seen.
As time passed.
The steam gradually dispersed, revealing the sea scene ahead.
"Hiss!!"
"My God."
Everyone was horrified. They saw that the sea ahead was no longer the shimmering, rippling water it once was. Instead, a huge void had been blasted into the sea, and the surrounding seawater was pouring into the void.
Zhang Wei stood on the edge of the beach, looking into the large pit in the sea.
There.
The four Ghost Kings were either kneeling on the ground or standing with their legs trembling, none of them were not in a sorry state. They were all covered in blood. Even the demon with the strongest healing power was covered in torn flesh and burnt in large patches, healing at a visible rate.
"Yo, you guys really didn't die, huh? I thought with so little of me, you'd be burned to ashes without even a stub left," Zhang Wei grinned and spoke in fluent English.
The four Ghost Kings: "..."
[Ding! Four Ghost Kings want to curse, you are poisonous, isn't your focus wrong?]
[Host gains System Points +440]
In fact.
Zhang Wei was not surprised that the four Ghost Kings were still alive. He had noticed that although the ghost domain was cracked, it hadn't completely shattered, clearly indicating they were still alive.
At the same time.
Looking at their bloody and mangled state compared to himself, Zhang Wei, apart from having more dust on him, had no external injuries. The Ghost Kings' eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and they couldn't help but ask the demon beside them:
"Akro, what exactly is that person?"
Just moments ago, when Zhang Wei's 'ultimate move' landed, the werewolf Ghost King and the others despaired, thinking they were going to die. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the demon produced a powerful, sect-level demonic artifact. In the end, at the cost of their battered and injured state and the artifact's destruction, they narrowly survived.
Simultaneously.
Taking advantage of the white mist dissipating, they learned about Zhang Wei's abilities from the demon. According to the demon, it referred to Zhang Wei as a Devil Fruit user, and the abilities he used were obtained by eating a Devil Fruit. They absolutely did not believe this. It was a joke; that was from an anime.
"He really is a Devil Fruit user. There's no mistake. Although what I'm saying sounds ridiculous, it's true. I have no reason to lie to you at this moment."
The demon's mouth twitched.
As soon as it spoke, the other Ghost Kings fell silent for a moment. Indeed, they were all on the verge of death at Zhang Wei's hands. When facing death, there was no need to hide anything, nor was there any reason to hide it for an enemy.
Inevitably, as the Vampire King saw Zhang Wei approaching them, he quickly asked:
"How do we deal with a Devil Fruit user? Quickly tell me!"
The demon instinctively replied:
"To deal with a Logia-type Devil Fruit, you must use seawater or Armament Haki. Seawater won't work; he can evaporate it. As for Armament Haki, we don't know how to use it."
As it spoke, the demon could feel the Vampire Kings looking at it with an expression that said, "What the hell are you talking about?"
It immediately changed its tune:
"If you can't defeat him, then seal him. Let's do it. We'll use the method of sealing demons to seal him. Since he's a Devil Fruit user, it should work."
Without hesitation.
Facing a life-or-death crisis, the four Ghost Kings dared not be careless. They charged at Zhang Wei from four directions, chanting ancient incantations.
Instantly.
An ancient Western hexagram formation appeared, emitting dark light, and began to envelop Zhang Wei.
This scene.
Weisili, who was not far away, saw it and his face changed drastically. He quickly shouted:
"Be careful, Mr. Jade Emperor!!! That's an ancient formation for sealing demons, dodge quickly!"
Zhang Wei, who was about to use his Mera Mera no Mi, heard this and stopped, but did not retreat. He said to Weisili:
"Thank you for the reminder, but we can't retreat, because... we Great Xia people never take a step back when facing outsiders."
As he spoke, the four Ghost Kings, who wished they could dismember Weisili, were stunned.
[Ding! Ghost Kings want to laugh, haha, so he's a reckless Great Xia man. It seems we have a chance to survive!]

The next second.
The Ghost Kings, using the ancient formation, pressed down on Zhang Wei, intending to seal him.
However.
At this very second.
Facing the Ghost Kings' attack, Zhang Wei stood there and reached for the packaging bag hanging at his waist, taking out a strangely shaped fruit.
[Ding! Demon is shocked, that's... No good!!!! It's the Gura Gura no Mi!!]
[Host gains System Points +190]
As the system notification sounded.
Far away on the beach, the stall worker holding a 'Devil Fruit', and others familiar with One Piece, all exclaimed in shock:
"Gura Gura no Mi?!"
