Rinnegan Genjutsu
The group turned Kin'emon's body over, checking on his condition.
Kin'emon's eyes had rolled back into his head; he had completely lost consciousness.
However, he was still breathing. He wasn't dead.
Raizo shook Kin'emon's body.
"Are you alright? Wake up."
But there was absolutely no sign of him waking up.
He glared angrily at Ryōsuke.
"What the hell did you do to Kin'emon?"
This was even more miraculous than his own ninjutsu; he hadn't seen the other party make a single move.
At this moment, Ryōsuke naturally had his Rinnegan activated. The reason Kin'emon had fainted was, of course, because he had been hit by a Rinnegan genjutsu.
The Heart Pirates, the Straw Hat Pirates, and the two from the Whitebeard Pirates were all stunned.
They couldn't figure out what this man had actually done.
Only Hiyori and Robin had seen Lord Ryōsuke use this kind of technique before.
As long as one made eye contact with Ryōsuke.
They would faint.
It was an imperceptible, phantom-like power.
Yamato and Ulti were also thoroughly amazed.
They hadn't expected their beloved to possess such a technique, where a mere glance could knock someone out.
Ulti seemed to realize something crucial.
A smile crept onto the corners of her mouth.
Not only could the Emperor pause time, but his body could also erupt with terrifying power.
So, making someone faint with just a glare didn't seem impossible at all.
Seeing that the other party wasn't replying, Inuarashi, Nekomamushi, and Raizo burned with anger.
It seemed this guy wasn't going to tell them the truth of the matter.
Thus, the three of them split up to attack Ryōsuke.
At the same time, they remained carefully on guard.
However, the moment the three took a single step forward, their bodies went limp, and they fainted just like Kin'emon.
This time, the Straw Hat Pirates, the Heart Pirates, Izo, and Marco all had grim expressions.
It happened again. He knocked out three of their companions in an instant.
What in the world was going on?
If they couldn't find a way to counter this bizarre technique, they would faint as well.
There would be no point in continuing with their plan.
They were all pondering in their hearts how to crack the opponent's technique.
Ryōsuke looked at the people who had intruded into his courtyard and said with a smile.
"Are you going to obediently surrender, or do I have to capture you myself?"
He was no longer interested in any Nika form; no matter how strong it was, it couldn't possibly be his match.
He originally had some interest in experiencing it, but Luffy's reckless behavior completely killed any curiosity he had.
On the contrary, Nami piqued his interest much more.
She was quite beautiful, and truly well-endowed. This was a fully mature Nami, no longer just a young girl.
If she had children in the future, they certainly wouldn't go hungry. She was perfectly suited for bearing children.
Of course, there was also Kozuki Momonosuke. He hadn't forgotten about him.
Naturally, he wouldn't cruelly kill him, but rather raise him properly.
Wasn't he just a pervert?
That was a normal flaw for a man. Ryōsuke would assign some "fine" women to him.
For instance, women of "unique" beauty.
To let him live out the rest of his life "comfortably."
Nami felt the man scrutinizing her.
'Could his target be me?' she thought. 'Even though he's very handsome, he's definitely not on the same path as our pirate crew.'
Naturally, she had no thoughts of getting together with him.
Sanji noticed Ryōsuke's gaze. This guy was indeed targeting Nami!
He hadn't been able to protect Robin, so he naturally had to protect Nami. He absolutely would not let her bear that bad man's child.
That was absolutely unforgivable.
He took a step forward, ready to attack.
But the moment he moved his legs, Zoro grabbed him.
"Sanji, don't look at this guy's eyes. I'm guessing those people fainted just now because they looked into his weird eyes."
It was neither Haki nor a Devil Fruit ability.
It could only be the bizarre power of the opponent's patterned eyes.
Sanji noticed Ryōsuke's patterned eyes and nodded cautiously.
"Alright, got it."
'It seems the ability to make people faint really comes from those eyes. In that case, as long as I don't look at his eyes, I'll be fine.'
If that were the case, it would be an incredibly difficult battle for him.
Fortunately, he still had Observation Haki. Even with his eyes closed, he would be able to sense that guy's movements.
Hearing Zoro's words, the others also closed their eyes one after another.
They didn't dare look at that guy's eyes anymore, terrified of falling victim to his technique.
Ryōsuke chuckled.
Who said closing their eyes would keep them safe?
With his abilities, they would fall under his genjutsu even without looking into his eyes. After all, this was the Seven-Colored Rinnegan, the eye with the highest visual prowess.
It could completely pierce through their eyelids to reach their minds and even their souls.
Sanji closed his eyes and activated his Observation Haki.
He stepped forward, preparing to attack Ryōsuke.
But before he could take more than a few steps, his body went limp, and he collapsed unconscious on the ground.
The others, having activated their Observation Haki, naturally sensed Sanji fainting.
Their expressions drastically changed.
"Didn't you say closing our eyes would block that guy's mysterious trick? How could this happen?"
"How are we supposed to fight this?"
At this moment, their hearts were filled with absolute panic.
This guy was far more troublesome than they had anticipated.
Law was also filled with immense regret.
This Emperor of the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets was truly terrifying; he was simply a monster.
He regretted getting involved in this mess. He should have done everything in his power to dissuade the Straw Hat boy from this plan.
He already had a bad premonition. This time, the Heart Pirates were doomed.
Ryōsuke looked at the intruders standing before him with their eyes closed and faces full of fear.
'Might as well finish them off early,' he thought, activating his Rinnegan genjutsu once more.
This time, it was an area-of-effect genjutsu.
The intruders fell to the ground one after another, the thudding sounds echoing continuously.
Even the Straw Hat boy couldn't withstand his Rinnegan. After all, their levels of power were simply on entirely different planes.
Ulti was completely dumbfounded.
Was it over just like that?
One had to remember that this was the Straw Hat boy who had wreaked havoc on Whole Cake Island and even defeated Katakuri.
And Katakuri was arguably the number one master just below the Four Emperors.
Because he possessed incredibly powerful Observation Haki that allowed him to see into the future, it practically made him invincible in battle.
Aside from the Four Emperors, almost no one could defeat him; at best, they could fight him to a draw.
For the Straw Hat boy to defeat such a person meant that his Observation Haki had also reached a very high level.
But it was obvious that Observation Haki was useless against Lord Ryōsuke's mysterious technique.
At this moment, the gaze she directed at the Emperor was filled with pleasant surprise and adoration. To think that such a powerful man was actually her man—she must have saved the world in her past life.
She tightly hugged Ryōsuke's arm with both hands.
She pressed her entire body against him, completely reluctant to part even a little.
Seeing this, Robin also hugged Ryōsuke's right arm with both hands, pressing her body firmly against him.
"Ryōsuke, for my sake, could you spare the Straw Hat crew's lives?"
She sank Ryōsuke's arm deep into her ample cleavage; this was Ryōsuke's favorite spot.
'If he's happy, maybe he'll let them off the hook,' she thought.
Kozuki Hiyori also leaned over, resting in Ryōsuke's embrace.
"Ryōsuke, can you spare my worthless brother? He was only bewitched by treacherous people. With his cowardice, he would never have dared to start a rebellion on his own."
