Return

As the day went by, Luffy was the first to return. I glanced at his newly acquired ability, Gearshift, and it was truly something.

Gearshift Ability:

Power Increase: With each increase in gear, Luffy's overall power increases by 200%.Duration: The ability will last as long as cursed energy is not consumed.

Current Time Limits per Gear:

Gear 1: 13 minutes

Gear 2: 6 minutes

Gear 3: 3 minutes

Gear 4: 1 minute

It seems like Luffy's power has truly evolved to a whole new level. He now has the capability to increase his strength drastically, but the challenge will be managing the cursed energy consumption to maximize his time in each gear.

Though Luffy's Gearshift ability resembled his original gears, it was now enhanced with cursed energy, which opened up new possibilities for him. There was a chance he might even awaken a dominant technique, not to mention the reversed cursed technique that could heal him from the brink of death.

Luffy looked around and asked, "Hey! Where did all of them go?"

I explained how he had been sent to another world and that after a cooldown period, he could return to that world again.

He nodded, grinning, "Shishishi, I will become stronger and definitely defeat that blood guy!"

I wanted to say that it might be impossible, but if he ate all the Sukuna fingers, he could become powerful enough to stand a chance.

Next to come out was Zoro, his whole body radiating with reiatsu. He approached me, and I noticed his left eye, which had been slashed by Mihawk, was now open, with a bone eye in place of the sickly one.

He looked at me before revealing his new sword, which was now a Zanpakutō.

Zoro's Zanpakutō: His Vasto Lorde power manifested as a sword called Cerberus, resembling a three-headed hell dog with powers of flames, ice, and lightning.

Then came Sanji, who seemed to be radiating power as well. He looked at me, having gained even more strength than before.

After him, Nami appeared with a tattoo on the back of her hand. I noticed it as I understood her newfound power: Tempest Magic.

Next, Vivi came out, and she also had an impressive tattoo on her arm. Unlike the others, hers took the form of a Black Dragon. Her power intrigued me, and it seemed she had gained a powerful Momodo, capable of using black magic and flame magic, and now in this world system has allowed her to use magic without needing a Momodo partner or book.

Then, Usopp emerged. He had gained an archer class called Million Tricks Ranger. He could create various arrows with fixed or random effects. Since he was still a low-level ranger, the effects weren't very powerful yet, mainly things like sleeping, poison, and such.

Finally, Tony appeared, his body radiating the power of nature. He had transformed into Shukaku, the Tanuki, gaining the ability to manipulate sand, wind, and earth release. Along with this, he possessed the Tailed Beast Bomb and a large quantity of chakra. However, he was currently weak and unable to unleash the full power of his new abilities.

It was interesting that he had gained the powers of a Tailed Beast, especially since Tanuki were known for their trickster nature. This could mean that, like the Tanuki, Tony might also develop unique techniques or tricks in battle as he trained and grew stronger. The potential for growth was immense, and I couldn't wait to see how he would utilize his new powers.

With all of them gathered, I felt a surge of excitement.

"Now that all of you have returned, let's fight!" I said, and Zoro was the first to nod in agreement.

He unsheathed his sword, revealing three colored spiritual engravings along the blade. "I have it too," he said, as I noticed his reiatsu now could match my sword energy.

"Let's go," I replied, pointing at the sea. Suddenly, several rocks rose from the ocean, forming a platform on the water's surface using my Gravity Magic.

"Ready?" I asked as Zoro and I stepped onto the platform, facing each other. The tension in the air was palpable as we prepared for our duel, both eager to test our newfound powers against each other.

"Don't hold back!" Zoro called out, gripping his sword tightly.

With a smirk, I replied, "Same goes for you!" The battle was about to begin, and I could feel the excitement building.

As Zoro stood before me, his reiatsu swirling around his body, the three heads of Cerebus—his Zanpakuto—materialized behind him, each one representing its elemental power: flames, ice, and lightning. The intense energy radiating from him was enough to shake the platform beneath our feet. I could feel the weight of his newfound abilities.

I tightened my grip on my sword, channeling the power of the Swordsmanship of the Undefeated King Madara, a technique that combined immense skill, relentless power, and unmatched sword energy. My sword hummed with a deep, resonating aura, glowing a fierce red as the energy gathered at its edge.

Zoro wasted no time. He dashed forward in a blur, swinging Cerebus with a ferocity that sent arcs of flame, ice, and lightning hurtling towards me. The force of the attack was overwhelming, but I remained calm, raising my blade and channeling the energy of the Undefeated King.

"Sword Dance of the King!" I shouted, my blade moving in a fluid yet powerful motion. Each swing cut through Zoro's elemental attacks, dispersing the flames, freezing the ice, and grounding the lightning. Sparks flew as our swords clashed, creating shockwaves that rippled across the platform and sent waves crashing against the rocks.

Zoro smirked, clearly impressed but far from done. "That's not all I've got!" he declared, as the three-headed Cerebus behind him roared in unison. With a swift movement, he initiated Three Thousand Worlds, a technique that unleashed a hurricane of slashes from multiple angles. The air crackled with energy as the attacks approached me from all sides.

I spun my sword with precision, executing a counterattack I had perfected: King's Judgment Strike. My blade cut through Zoro's oncoming barrage with deadly precision, each strike neutralizing an incoming blow. The sheer speed and power of our exchange created an explosive display of swordsmanship, both of us pushing each other to the limit.

"Impressive, Zoro!" I said, genuinely acknowledging his growth, but I had more to show. I raised my sword high above my head, gathering all my sword energy into a singular, devastating attack.
