Everyone Who Saw My Shot Is Dead!

Finn's punch connected, and the round-headed elder was split cleanly into two halves. The sight was almost surreal—a powerful figure, one of the highest authorities of the World Government, brought low in an instant.

But something felt off. This outcome was too easy.

As Finn studied the aftermath, the severed halves of the elder began to writhe and morph, losing their human form like molten wax. Within moments, both sections restructured themselves, growing and reshaping until two identical versions of the round-headed elder stood before him. They shared the same size, demeanor, and aura as the original.

"Is this some kind of splitting ability?" Finn asked, his brow furrowed. His curiosity was genuine, but his tone carried a note of disdain.

The elder sneered, offering no response. His silence was deliberate, but Sengoku, watching from a distance, stepped in with an urgent warning.

"Finn, be cautious! Both clones retain the strength and abilities of the original body."

Finn's eyes narrowed as he processed this revelation. If the clones truly matched the original's power, defeating this opponent would be more challenging than he had anticipated. Testing this claim, Finn moved with lightning speed, his advanced shave closing the gap between him and one of the clones. He delivered a devastating punch, reinforced by the top-level Armament Haki.

The elder met his strike head-on, countering with an equally powerful punch. Their fists collided with an explosive shockwave that rippled outward, shaking the battlefield. Finn remained steady, but the elder clone staggered back several paces. Despite the setback, Finn noted the clone's strength matched that of the original.

"So it's true," Finn muttered to himself, realizing the full implications. If the elder could produce multiple clones, each as powerful as the original, this fight might drag into dangerous territory.

The elder chuckled darkly, his smug grin returning. "Impressed? Few live long enough to witness my true power. Those who do..." His eyes gleamed maliciously. "...die shortly after."

Unfazed by the taunt, Finn smirked. "For someone so powerful, you sure talk a lot. Usually, the truly dangerous ones don't need to explain themselves. They let their actions speak."

The elder's grin faltered slightly but quickly turned into a sneer. "Arrogant brat. I'll wipe that smirk off your face soon enough."

Both clones vanished, their advanced shave propelling them toward Finn from opposite directions. Their fists glowed with top-tier Armament Haki as they aimed to crush him in a pincer attack. But Finn was faster. His own advanced shave allowed him to evade, leaving nothing but an afterimage behind.

High above, Finn floated gracefully as an aura of energy enveloped him. With a calm but commanding voice, he declared, "Sword Immortal Form."

His appearance transformed. His robes fluttered as he summoned a gleaming energy sword that hovered beneath his feet. He ascended, standing upon the sword as if it were an extension of his will. Raising a hand to the heavens, Finn called out, "Sword Immortal Profound Truth: Heavenly Blade Slash!"

A massive ethereal blade materialized behind him, towering like a skyscraper. It pulsed with raw energy, casting an ominous glow over the battlefield.

"Cut!" Finn commanded, pointing at the elder clones.

The colossal energy sword descended, aiming to obliterate both clones in a single strike. But the elder's Observation Haki, honed to near-perfection, alerted him to the attack's trajectory. The clones split apart, each dodging to opposite sides.

Just as they moved, a second energy sword materialized from thin air, sweeping horizontally in perfect synchronization with the first. The clones had unwittingly dodged into its path.

"What?!" The elder's face twisted in shock. He realized too late that the second blade was no coincidence—it had anticipated his evasion. His clones were caught in the devastating slash, their bodies cleaved apart before they could react.

As the battlefield quieted, Finn hovered above, his gaze sharp and unyielding. He smirked at the elder's fading remnants, his voice calm yet mocking.

"Your strength was impressive, but your arrogance was your undoing."

The shattered fragments of the elder dissolved into the wind, leaving only silence in their wake.
