Chapter 430 - Fierce Battle
After Artoria dispelled her “Invisible Air: Boundary Field,” the true form of her sword was revealed. It was a magnificent two-handed blade with a blue, crescent-shaped hilt and a golden blade. It was a sword that, once seen, could never be forgotten. Its distinctive appearance had forced Artoria, as Saber, to use the “Boundary Field” to distort the air around it, concealing its form and thus her identity.
“So it’s you!” Diarm...

Chapter 197 - The Marine Science Museum
The Marine Science Museum was vast, its exhibits oversized to accommodate giants. While it showcased the various phenomena of the Grand Line, not all mysteries had been solved. Despite the museum’s size, the number of exhibits was surprisingly limited.
“Ah, this one!”
As Enel guided them through the museum, Nami spotted a familiar phenomenon. The Knock Up Stream.
“Hmm. Interested in this one, are you?”

“Tch, worried about your Master being attacked while you’re fighting, are you?”
Seeing the expressions on Artoria and Diarmuid’s faces, Ailin shook his head, raised his index and middle fingers and began chanting.
“Shihō Dankū!”
Four translucent barriers materialized around Irisviel von Einzbern, enclosing her in a protective dome. Even the ground and the air above were sealed.
“A defensive barrier?” Ir...

Chapter 428 - The Killing of Zouken Matou
Kiritsugu Emiya was confident he could deal with Berserker once the King of Heroes was out of the picture. If Saber could hold Berserker off for just a few minutes, he could kill Kariya Matou and forced Berserker to disappear.
But before that, Kiritsugu needed to figure out how to contact Kariya and, more importantly, how to convince him to join forces to eliminate Tokiomi Tohsaka and Archer.

Chapter 409 - Writings Between Heaven and Earth
The mechanical body disassembled. A pale yellow orb of light flew from its core towards Wu Gang. Wu Gang transformed in her human form, opened her arms, and embraced the orb.
“Did it work?” Fan Li couldn’t help but ask.
“Mm, it’s a kind child.” Wu Gang smiled as she held Qiuniu’s soul gently.
Kind?
Indeed.
Lured by the music, Qiuniu hadn't shown any hostility from beginning to end. I...

Chapter 191 - Golden-Haired Kid
Raphael stood with his arms folded beneath his chest; a deceptively casual posture that belied the tension coiled within him. Beside him, Kudumei shivered with her violet shell dusted with snow. Opposite them, Bailof towered like a behemoth of muscle and ice, a total opposite to Raphael’s small human form.
A wave of murmurs washed over the courtyard.
“This can’t be happening! That oaf actually accepted the kid’s challenge!...

Inside the city, Shi Jingtang sat within his makeshift palace, meditating and circulating his energy.
Countless white threads, visible to the naked eye, flowed towards him from all directions, connec...

Above, on the balcony overlooking the battle, the Snow Maidens were jolted. They stumbled, barely managing to steady themselves before crashi...

The first day of the Holy Grail War, aside from the Assassin’s brief and ignominious appearance, was dominated by the spectacular clash between Ailin and Gilgamesh.
The Masters who witnessed their battle felt a palpable sense of dread. Both Gilgamesh’s Gate of Babylon and Ailin’s similar ability were terrifyingly powerful. Against such overwhelming force, numbers were meaningless.
Gilgamesh, however, was considered the gre...

A beacon of civilization amidst a vast, icy wilderness, sprawled across a peninsula jutting into the Frozen Sea.

These structures huddled together as if seeking warmth against the relentless, swirling sn...

The battle was one-sided. The Bixi, despite its mountain-like size, seemed unsteady because it was swaying frequently. Each sway caused the earth to tremble. Its cries of distress echoed continuously, sounding, to Fan Li, like the whimpers of a child.
A child?

Upon learning that Shojo and Masira were sworn brothers, and that Luffy was a friend of Masira’s, Shojo’s demeanor shifted from hostile to friendly.
