The reason why Sengoku was so shocked was that the three people who came towards him were all old acquaintances of his.
Aside from Kong, the other two were Roger and Rocks.
Upon seeing Roger, Garp reacted with the most excitement, shouting with delight,
"Is that Roger? He's still alive!?"
The other generals did not respond to Garp, because they were also completely bewildered.
Senga's expression was very calm, and he said in a low voice,
"He's long dead. Even if he were still alive, he'd be dead today!"
Garp's expression froze for a moment. He then remembered that Senga had always hated Roger, and if Roger were to run into him, he would likely be in grave danger.
Even Garp had to admit that Senga's current strength far exceeded his comprehension, and he was on a completely different level from all of them.
Sengoku's expression was serious. He looked at Senga and said in a deep voice,
"Senga, do you know what's really going on?"
Senga nodded. When he went to see the Gorosei once, he encountered a CP0 that didn't look like a living person at the door. Now, the aura on Roger and the other two was exactly the same as that CP0.
In fact, this method was not unfamiliar to Senga, just like the Six Paths Puppet he created.
"They themselves are already dead; what we see now are just corpses. And the one controlling them behind the scenes is likely Imu, the actual ruler of the World Government."
"So, Kong Ye...?"
"Yes, I can no longer sense any living presence in Fleet Admiral Kong."
Upon hearing this news, Sengoku closed his eyes in anguish.
Sora was his old superior during the Sengoku, and the two had always had a good relationship. Sora had always given him a lot of help, but now he had died so mysteriously. How could Sora accept this?
A dazzling golden light burst forth from Sengoku, and his body continued to expand until it burst open his shirt.
He had entered a state of Great Buddha, his eyes fixed on Kong, who was walking towards him, and anger gushed from his eyes.
"Imu! You deserve to die!!!"
The next second, Sengoku's body shot towards the three people in front of him like a golden cannonball. A transparent aura emanated from his fist as he slammed it down on them.
Roger and Rocks completely ignored Sengoku's intentions, while Sora leaped into the air and exchanged a punch with Sengoku.
Sora's size was tiny compared to Sengoku after he transformed into Great Buddha, but Sengoku was still knocked back by Sora's punch.
After defeating Sengoku, Kong used Geppo to dash through the air towards Senga.
Akainu stepped forward. He had already learned a lot from Senga, knowing that Sora was dead and had become a weapon in the hands of the enemy.
With that, Akainu had nothing to worry about. He tightened his right arm and then forcefully blasted at the oncoming air.
"The Hell Hound!"
His arm transformed into magma and extended out, slamming directly into the empty half of Kong's face.
The empty half of his face rapidly decayed under the scorching heat of the lava, but his expression showed no sign of pain, and his body continued to rush towards this side.
Seeing this scene filled Sengoku with even greater grief and indignation; all he wanted now was for Kong to be freed as soon as possible.
He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, and a burst of golden light erupted from between his palms.
Then, he spread his arms wide towards Sora, and a spherical golden space enveloped Sora's body. Garp and Tsuru's expressions changed upon seeing this move.
Sengoku roared angrily,
"The Nirvana Buddha Land!"
Click!
The golden space shattered with a deafening roar, and those who had been trapped inside had vanished without a trace.
Two lines of golden tears slowly slid down Sengoku's face. He returned to his original state, gazing at the spot where Kong had disappeared, and murmured,
"Dust to dust, ashes to ashes, Fleet Admiral Kong, rest in peace!"
Sengoku's move was so powerful that even Senga couldn't help but take notice. In his perception, the golden space was filled with a violent shockwave, which directly blasted Sora's body into dust.
If Ōnoki saw this, he would definitely say he was an expert; the effect was so similar to his Dust Release.
Just as Senga was marveling at Sengoku's abilities, Roger and Rocks arrived in front of him and launched an attack on Senga without a word.
Before they could even touch Senga's body, a Repulsion Force suddenly erupted from Senga, blasting the two of them away.
When they reappeared, Roger's right arm had disappeared; the Six Paths level Shinra Tensei was clearly not something he could easily withstand.
However, a bizarre scene unfolded: a ball of black energy wriggled at Roger's severed arm, gradually extending outwards, and eventually solidified into an arm.
Senga couldn't hold back any longer. What? Was he still in the Pirate World?
That was Dust Release, and now even Impure World Reincarnation has appeared!?
If it really is the Impure World Reincarnation, then...
"What!?"
A gasp from Sengoku behind him confirmed Senga's suspicions.
Senga turned around and saw that a humanoid black energy had appeared where Sora had disappeared. Then, just like Roger's situation, the black energy transformed into Sora's appearance and "revived" him once again.
Sengoku and the others were completely paralyzed. Their bodies could regenerate even after being blasted to dust; how could they possibly fight like this?
Before they could even recover, two shockwaves crackling with black Inazuma blasted towards them—an attack launched by Roger and Rocks.
"Tch, that's enough!"
Senga had had enough of these "interruptions," and with another Shinra Tensei, he shattered the incoming attack. Then, three jet-black Truth-Seeking Orb appeared behind him.
With a wave of his hand, three Truth -Truth-Seeking Orb immediately flew towards Roger and his companions.
Roger threw a punch at the incoming Truth-Seeking Orb. The moment he made contact with the Truth-Seeking Orb, countless cracks suddenly appeared on his fist, which then spread to his entire body.
The next second, Roger's body disintegrated, turning into countless black specks of light that disappeared into the air.
Upon seeing this, Rocks and Sora instinctively tried to get away from the Truth- Truth-Seeking Orb, but they were relentlessly pursued by the balls, as if they were equipped with GPS trackers. Rocks launched several attacks from a distance, attempting to disperse the Truth-Seeking Orb- Truth-Seeking Orb Balls, but his attacks instantly vanished upon impact, having no effect whatsoever.
Ultimately, Rocks and Sora followed in Roger's footsteps, disappearing completely into thin air.
Sengoku and the others stared warily around, still thinking that Sora and the others would "resurrect" again like before.
However, Roger and the others were truly wiped out this time, leaving not even ashes, because under the Six Paths, all beings are equal before the Truth-Seeking Orb.
