On the Red Line Continent, Susanoo and the Ten-Tails, two colossal beings, clashed violently, and the shockwaves created towering waves in the sea below.
Imu felt increasingly uneasy as the fight progressed. He had initially thought that with the help of the person inside him and the power of the Ten-Tails, he would be more than capable of defeating Senga, but the reality was clearly different from what he had imagined.
From the start of the battle until now, he has been the one taking the hits almost the entire time; his attacks have barely caused any damage to Susanoo.
Although Imu is now practically immortal, his energy will eventually run out. If the fight continues like this, he may face energy depletion and fall into a dormant state, which is no different from being dead.
Compared to Imu, Senga seemed much more relaxed. He manipulated Susanoo repeatedly slash at the Ten-Tails, making the Ten-Tails look like fish on a chopping board in front of Susanoo.
Imu finally couldn't hold back any longer; he began to actively call upon the person inside him.
"Hey! What's going on? Why am I being completely dominated by him?!"
"Heh, so you finally remembered me? The Ten-Tails' power is indeed strong, but you are ultimately not one of my kind, and cannot unleash its true power."
"Damn it! Do you know I can't hold on much longer in this state? The Ten-Tails' backlash is getting worse and worse. Once it breaks free, it won't be Uchiha Senga who becomes food! Do you have any ideas?"
"Of course! As long as you temporarily release my seal, Uchiha Senga is no match for you!" M.
"..."
Imu frowned. This method was extremely risky, and he couldn't guarantee that he would be able to regain control of his body after the seal was broken.
Just as he was struggling with this decision, Susanoo its sword, cutting the Ten-Tails in half once again.
Imu groaned, and a portion of the black blood vessels connecting his body to the Ten-Tails suddenly ruptured, failing to recover along with the Ten-Tails' body.
A wave of dizziness washed over him, and Imu swayed. He glanced at Senga, who was standing at the head of Susanoo opposite him, and a surge of anger inexplicably rose within him.
He steeled his resolve and shouted,
"Come on! Let me see the Ten-Tails' true power!!!"
"A wise decision."
In Imu's mental world, a pale-skinned figure dressed in a white robe floats in mid-air, enveloped by a Straw Hat- shaped shield.
Suddenly, the protective shield surrounding him vanished into countless transparent specks of light, and a strange smile appeared on his face. Then, his body transformed into a ball of white light, enveloping his entire spiritual world.
Imu outside shuddered, then the black on his body faded and turned white, making him look very similar to Senga's Otsutsuki form.
What's most striking is his eyes; the whites of his eyes have been replaced by red, and each eye now has four black ripples, transforming them into a pair of red Rinnegan.
Seeing this, Senga's expression also turned serious. Imu was now making him feel a sense of crisis.
Imu looked down at his own body, then suddenly burst into laughter.
"Hahahaha! This realistic touch is amazing!"
After laughing for a while, Imu looked at Senga and said,
"Junior, I've never heard of your name in the clan before, and your surname... you're not Uchiha, are you?"
Senga looked at Imu seemed completely unfamiliar to her, and said,
"So I should have the surname Otsutsuki, right?"
"What? You don't like this surname? Are you also a traitorous guardian?"
"I am not anyone's protector; I come from the Uchiha Clan."
"Still denying it? What an insincere junior! Well, whatever, you're going to become the Ten-Tails' food anyway."
You're still as self-righteous as ever.
"Don't compare me to him. He's just a native. If it weren't for that so-called Heavenly King, I wouldn't have been trapped in his mental world for so long."
Who exactly are you?
"Hehe, my name is Otsutsuki Zero. If you haven't heard of this name, you definitely know my master's name; it's Otsutsuki Yabai!"
"Otsutsuki Yabai?!"
Upon hearing this name, Senga was genuinely shocked. Who was Otsutsuki Yabai? He was the member of the Otsutsuki Clan who had consumed the most Devil Fruits and was known as the God of the Otsutsuki. His abilities were beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
However, judging from the information in the manga, it seems that Otsutsuki Yabai has died, leaving only his body. Of course, it is also possible that he evolved to the extreme, broke free from the constraints of the physical body, and went to other worlds.
This guy who calls himself Otsutsuki Zero is actually Otsutsuki Yabai's guardian? And judging from his words, he betrayed Otsutsuki Yabai?
Otsutsuki Zero looked extremely proud of his betrayal of Otsutsuki Yabai, and said smugly as he looked at the Ten-Tails at his feet.
"My master ate too many God Tree Fruit back then, and his body was on the verge of collapse. I took advantage of this opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to him. What I didn't expect was that his body would transform into this Ten-Tails. I can feel that the energy within this Ten-Tails is far beyond what other Ten-Tails can match. As long as I can eat its fruit, I will gain unimaginable power!"
Senga looked again at the Ten-Tails beneath Otsutsuki Zero's feet. This Ten-Tails was indeed very special; most of the other Ten-Tails were white, but this one was completely black.
But he still had one question: how did Otsutsuki Zero end up in the Pirate World? And why was he trapped inside Imu's body?
While Otsutsuki Zero was still lost in his own self-absorption, Senga voiced her doubts.
Otsutsuki Zero made no attempt to hide anything and spoke directly.
"My master had already evolved the ability to travel between dimensions. The moment his body transformed into the Ten-Tails, he opened a dimensional rift and brought me to this world. However, this Ten-Tails was very hostile towards me. I almost exhausted my energy just controlling it, so I could only temporarily reside in the body of this person named Imu."
"But it seems you haven't managed to regain control of your body."
Otsutsuki Zero snorted coldly, then suddenly stretched out his hand, and a miniature Straw Hat appeared in his palm.
He looked at the Straw Hat in his hand and said through gritted teeth,
"It's all because of this damned thing! Imu calls it the Heavenly King. If it weren't for it, I wouldn't be trapped inside this native's body!"
Senga never expected that Heavenly King, one of the Ancient Weapon, would be just a small Straw Hat. She wondered if it had any connection to the one Luffy was wearing.
However, Senga didn't have time to think too much right now. The appearance of Otsutsuki Zero was a huge surprise to him, and if he didn't take it seriously, he might really become food.
