Chapter 28 - Chapter 28 – The Seraphim Hunt

Location: North Calm Belt – Forbidden Sea Strip

Storm Level: Eternal Lightning-Class

"You can clone power… but not will."

— Vice Admiral Garp

☁️ The New Weapon of the World Government

The Five Elders no longer whispered.

They commanded.

"Activate the Seraphim."

From the underground lab beneath Mary Geoise, sealed in stasis pods, six Seraphim units opened their eyes—

children in form, gods in might.

Each one was a perfect clone of a warlord—crossbred with Lunarian DNA and infused with pre-Void Century Observation Paths.

"Target: Toni, alias Mythblade."

"Priority: Immediate Erasure."

"Permission: Full Deployment."

And so the hunt began.

🌊 Toni's Baited Sea

Toni had already predicted it.

From the moment he touched the trial chamber in Enies Lobby, he knew eyes would follow him.

He left behind not footprints—

but echoes, carefully planted on purpose.

And now, above the roaring skies of the Calm Belt, he waited… atop a floating relic of a ruined sky island.

"Come see if you can kill a myth."

He drew his blade.

And they came.

⚔️ Battle Begins – Heaven Descends

The sky cracked open as beams of light fired downward—six points of thunder fell:

S-Hawk: Blade forged from Mihawk's DNA, mixed with ancient sea-stone tissue.

S-Bear: Powered by Paw-Paw tech and coded with enhanced tracking instincts.

S-Snake, S-Shark, and S-Flame followed behind.

And last—S-Zero, an unregistered prototype with unknown parameters.

They landed around Toni, forming a circle.

Silent. Calculated.

S-Zero raised a hand.

"You are designated: myth-class anomaly.

Your memories are unauthorized."

Toni smiled.

"Good. That means I remember the parts that scare you."

Then he vanished.

💥 The Trap Unfolds

The Seraphim attacked with perfect coordination, but Toni wasn't there to fight them head-on.

He had already planted Mirror Sigils—reflections of his own Observation threads—across the battlefield.

Each sigil bent time.

Each movement became a recorded echo.

To the Seraphim, he was everywhere.

To Toni, they were already too late.

⚔️ 1v6 – Toni's Mythblade Unleashed

S-Hawk slashed forward, his black blade nearly cutting the island in half.

But Toni was above him—midair slash: Heaven Sever—and S-Hawk fell without his left eye.

S-Bear used Paw Shockwave to teleport behind Toni.

But Toni had seen it three moves ahead.

He redirected the momentum—

And used Verdict Shatterer to fracture the clone's command seal, briefly freezing his systems.

Then came S-Zero.

No face.

No DNA record.

Just eyes that remembered nothing… and feared nothing.

🔥 Toni vs S-Zero

Toni narrowed his eyes as S-Zero began mimicking his own stance.

"You're not a clone," Toni muttered.

"You're a prototype based on me."

S-Zero moved faster now, nearly anti-causal in motion.

Their blades clashed—metal, memory, and mirage.

But Toni struck not the body—

he struck the timeline.

A single slash across the island's reflection—

And S-Zero fell backwards, twitching.

"Judgement Overwrite:

Return to before you were told to forget."

And for one second—S-Zero's eyes showed pain.

"T…Toni…?"

Then he exploded.

🌊 Aftermath

Five Seraphim were disabled—

Their control nodes shattered, memories bleeding.

S-Zero was gone—either destroyed or… awakened.

Toni stood amid the floating ruin, his blade glowing.

"They sent heaven's dogs to kill a ghost…"

He sheathed the blade.

"Next time, send the gods themselves."
