Utilizing Devil Fruits

What the World Government can think of, the Revolutionary Army can naturally think of as well. Regardless of who wins or loses between the two monsters below, it will be a devastating blow to the Revolutionary Army.

"Dragon, you should leave now. After the battle, it will be time to settle scores with our Revolutionary Army." The Queen of Okama advised in a low voice. Although "she" knew that the dragon was incredibly powerful, he was ultimately no match for a "demigod".

"It's no use. Neither the Dreamland Kingdom nor the World Government will let me leave now." Dragon knew very well that the honeymoon period between their Revolutionary Army and the World Government ended the moment Imu appeared. Now they had to face the two largest power organizations in the world. "Moreover, once they decide the winner in this battle, there will be no more constraints. No matter where I run, I will not have a good ending. It's better to stay here and wait for a miracle to happen."

"But..."

"Wait, has anyone seen Luffy?" Sabo's horrified voice suddenly interrupted their conversation.

"What? Wasn't the Straw Hat Boy always with you guys?" the Queen of Okama exclaimed.

"Damn it, that man named Hitomi hasn't shown up either. Could it be that the two of them are still fighting below the God's Temple?" Ace felt that he had grasped the gist of the matter.

"No, we have to go rescue Luffy right now!"

"Stop right there!" Dragon grabbed Sabo and Ace, coldly saying, "Do you want to go and die?"

"But..."

"There are no buts. The space below has become the Absolute Domain of the battle between Nightmare and Imu. Unless you can escape with hundreds of people like before, anyone who crosses that space will only face death."

"Moreover, it might be safer for Luffy to stay at the bottom. Those two are fighting in mid-air. As long as he doesn't risk crossing that forbidden area, Luffy should have no problem dealing with some falling rocks with his strength."

"Well... alright!" Saboais had no choice but to clench his fists and pray in his heart, "Luffy, you have to survive!"

Boom!

Another violent aftershock rippled outwards, and black cracks appeared intermittently in the sky.

Roy hovered in mid-air, his waist and abdomen covered in blood, and his internal organs seemed to be visible through the wounds. Imu was in no better condition, his left arm twisted irregularly, and a horrifying hole appeared in his chest.

For beings like them, getting injured is no easy feat. Just like Roy, who previously offered no resistance and allowed himself to be attacked, even Supernovas like Capone Bege couldn't harm him in the slightest. Yet now, less than five minutes into the battle, both have already suffered such severe injuries, demonstrating that they were determined to kill each other from the very beginning, without any intention of holding back.

"The power of dreams, is this what gives you the confidence to appear here?" Roy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said indifferently.

"Heh, sealing... that's the most powerful force in the world. I stole part of the origin of your Dream-Dream Fruit hundreds of years ago and sealed it within your body." Imu's mask was already shattered, and a dangerous smile curled at the corner of his mouth. "Although I can't compare to you, as long as I can borrow a portion of the power belonging to the dream realm, it's enough to offset your home-field advantage."

"Hmph, no wonder that guy from Laugh Tale always calls you a despicable thief. This ability... is indeed disgusting!" Roy's eyes narrowed slightly. "Looks like I'll have to get a little more serious!"

"Rewind!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall, sexy woman with long, flowing, sea-blue wavy hair appeared beside Roy. She threw Peach Blossom Flame from her hand and then vanished without a trace.

When the Peach Blossom Flame touched Roy's body, they seemed to reverse time and erase Roy's injuries.

Roy took a deep breath. If it were just a matter of recovering from injuries, there would be no need for such trouble. However, Ain's Return-Return Fruit could Rewind both her mental and physical strength to their optimal state.

"The Return-Return Fruit?" Imu's pupils contracted slightly as he asked in a deep voice.

"Now... let's begin the second round of battle."

Roy flashed and instantly appeared in front of Imu, his Seven Star Sword slicing through the sky like a meteor.

"The same moves have no effect on me, Nightmare. Have you reached the limit of your skills?" Imu sneered inwardly. After all, he was just a little guy who had only lived for a little over twenty years. He only knew a few moves.

"Multiple Slow-Slow Beams!"

Just as the two collided violently, Imu noticed that a blurry figure appeared beside the other person again, just like before. However, this time it was a sleazy old man with a long nose and a butt, making a delicate gesture with his fingers.

"Nightmare's hidden methods?" Imu didn't care much. Not to mention that the aura on that butt-headed man was ridiculously weak, even those so-called Admiral Four Emperors were insignificant in his eyes. Apart from the man in front of him who had reached his level in just seven years, he didn't take anyone seriously at all.

Laugh!

Imu stared in disbelief at the sword tip piercing his chest, the drops falling to the ground... blood? This almost forgotten feeling... pain?

The soul-burning sensation that would be unbearable for ordinary people Imu unmoved. He even asked curiously, "The power of the Slow-Slow Fruit? But why, why can that weak power restrain me?"

"Do you know that there's a concept in Dream Online called Forced HP Reduction?" Despite saying that, Roy's hands didn't stop moving at all, and he attacked like a shadow, with a gothic loli holding a wine-red umbrella appearing next to him again.

Imu's expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly dodged, but under Roy's storm of attacks, it was not so easy to avoid. In just a moment, the long sword pierced through his body again.

"Even if it can't break through the defense, it can still deal one point of damage to the enemy." After Imu fled, Roy spoke again to attract his attention, while the figure of a little girl in a polka-dot dress appeared beside him.

Even knowing Roy's purpose, Imu couldn't help but say, "I understand. Although their strength is negligible to me, and can hardly affect me at all, Devil Fruit are, after all, manifestations of the World Will, so they can produce the so-called Forced HP Reduction effect. Even if the time they can affect me is so short that it's impossible to estimate, and in the eyes of ordinary people it's no different from an immunity ability, so much so that I never noticed it before. But you are different. You are a demigod on the same level as me, so you can notice and take advantage of this weakness."

Imu became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had opened the door to New World, and he didn't even care about the Seven Star Sword that was inserted into his body again.
