Glancing at the eyeball, Imu snorted again and casually crushed it to powder with a squeeze.
At the Sabaody Archipelago, One-Eyed Joe gave a soft grunt and suddenly covered the blind eye beneath his eyepatch. Blood streamed from under the patch.
"Ha ha ha, heh heh heh, hee hee hee... How interesting." Sticking out his tongue, Joker, disguised as One-Eyed Joe, gently licked the blood that had flowed to the corner of his mouth, revealing an excited, twisted expression.
The moment Imu had regained consciousness, Joker's Observation Haki had clearly sensed that the Chaotic Aura Fluctuations within her body had intensified greatly. Especially when she had moved to kill the little bird, those auras had become vastly more active.
Not only that, but as they became active, they had also begun canceling each other out with Imu's own aura. Clearly, she had permanently lost a portion of her strength.
That was why Imu had been unwilling to make a move. As long as she was conscious, it was difficult for her to Refine Internal Energy within her body. Once she entered Combat State, she would even permanently lose part of the power inside her.
Although the power lost when she had killed the little bird was practically negligible, under normal circumstances, an expert at the top of the sea could likely make up for it after a few hours of training. But if she used power like she had during the great explosion at Mary Geoise last time, the drain on Imu would definitely not be small.
Of course, no matter how much she was drained, even if all her Chaotic Power was worn away, Imu should still retain over sixty percent of her combat strength. And even with only sixty percent of her power, sweeping across the sea would
