The Op-Op Fruit Appears!

"This old dragon is interesting."

Inside Noah in the Giant World, Imu sat alone on the sofa.

He squinted, watching the three-way battle unfold on the virtual screen with a calm expression.

The Ubuyashiki Sisters stood quietly by his side, creating a tranquil atmosphere in the room.

At this time.

Historia was the same as always.

They led a group to Paradis Island to care for the Eldians children.

It also serves to appease the adults who have to do manual labor every day.

Esdeath, meanwhile, received professional instruction from a Physical Arts instructor at the training hall.

She needs to learn the Rokushiki and various Haki techniques as soon as possible.

At the same time, it transforms the surge in the number of cells in the body into real strength.

This would be an extremely difficult and painful thing for an ordinary person.

But this strongest Female General from the Teigu World was thoroughly enjoying herself.

Because she can feel herself getting stronger every day.

Besides.

Doflamingo also began to train his Physical Arts and Haki vigorously in the open space where Tesoro and Enel had previously trained.

I wonder when he will reach the level of Admiral and be able to successfully defeat the combined forces of the three 'Giant God Soldier'?

At that time, this 'flamingo' will surpass its counterpart in the 'original story'!

On Imu's side.

Although there are many things to do, it is still necessary to keep a close eye on the battle situation in the Teigu World.

So when they heard that Aokiji was being attacked by two super- Danger Beasts, they immediately ordered someone to broadcast the situation live. Now it seems the situation is indeed very serious.

Although Aokiji used his Awakening abilities to create the best environment for himself.

However, they were still unable to break through the combined blockade of the old dragon and the Black Sailfish.

Especially the former's thick, pale fur; just a little of it would be enough to be the main material for a Teigu.

It used these extremely tough and sharp hairs to cover the entire Iceburg range created by Kuzan.

It can be described as an enhanced version of Doflamingo's 'Birdcage'.

Moreover, there were no gaps between the lines.

It's less of a cage and more like a giant city wall.

This is likely targeting Kuzan's elementalization ability.

However, to facilitate their own attack, Divine Dragon opened up the airspace directly facing the dark clouds and the area to the south where Black Marlin was the main force of attack.

In this way, Kuzan wanted to escape.

The only option is to withstand attacks from both sides while trying to break through the obstruction of one side.

But theory is one thing; to actually do it is virtually impossible for him right now.

Moreover, as the battle continued, the number of injuries on his body gradually increased.

Those lightning bolts and threads, imbued with Natural Energy, each possessed considerable power.

Add to that the occasional powerful lash of the dragon's tail, and the leaping, straight-up thrust of the sailfish's upper jaw.

Even if Kuzan uses all his skills to deal with it, it would be difficult for him to emerge unscathed.

Finally, he had no choice but to transform into an element and escape into the Iceburg, controlling twelve continuous Iceburg to withstand their fierce attacks that gave him no chance to breathe.

This directly transformed the three-way battle into a clash between nature itself.

Iceburg, tsunamis, Thundercloud, snowstorms, Divine Dragon, Black Mist, sea monsters.

Together, they form a breathtaking scene that would fit seamlessly into any myth or legend.

Coupled with the resounding dragon roars that echoed in all directions, it wouldn't be wrong to call it a battle of gods.

But beneath these spectacular sights...

Many powerful figures from the World Government could imagine how difficult it must be for Kuzan to hold on, which made Imu think of personally going to his rescue.

For him, all he needed to do was summon a portable miniature Star Gate that could connect to any Star Gate that could be opened.

You can directly appear at the Star Gate Base in the Teigu World from here.

Then, using the superpower of teleportation, one can instantly appear on the East Blue battlefield on the screen.

Despite his thoughts, Imu's body showed no inclination to move.

Because he was considering whether it was truly time for him to take action.

Also, is it a good thing for me to step in and rescue Kuzan now?

Although Kuzan seems to be in dire straits, his strength should be enough to hold out until Borsalino arrives.

Unless that old dragon has some other powerful move up its sleeve.

But if that's the case, its strength will need to be reassessed. If it has truly reached a level surpassing 'Whitebeard', then I will indeed need to take action to deal with it.

If not, then this battle is both a desperate situation and an opportunity for Kuzan.

Because at his current level, it's difficult to continue improving his strength simply by grinding away at techniques.

Especially in terms of Haki, nothing makes a person's heart stronger and more determined than surviving a difficult and desperate battle.

Therefore, it's not hard to imagine what would happen if Kuzan managed to hold on this time.

It won't be long before his Haki level increases significantly, and he might even catch up with Sakazuki's current level.

Furthermore...

He would step in to help World Government Admiral whenever he was in trouble.

That seems a bit too much of a 'pampering' approach, and could potentially stifle their potential to push their limits.

"However, their mastery of Natural Energy is quite interesting."

Just as Imu decided not to intervene to rescue Kuzan and his thoughts began to wander, a Golden Den Den Mushi on the small table started beeping.

Without him making any move, the receiver on the back of the Den Den Mushi automatically flew to his face.

"Reporting to Imu, Redfield just sent word that they have found the Devil Fruit you need!"

The Golden Den Den Mushi then spoke respectfully, Imitation Magic Topman Saint Topman Warcury's demeanor Wano Language.

"Um?"

Imu was taken aback, then a surge of joy welled up inside him, but he suppressed it with his strong willpower and calmly gave the order.

"Then let him bring it back. This mission is considered a perfect success. Reward him with one billion Beli, a Pure Gold ring, and the position of Deputy Commander of CIPHER POL-AIGIS-0!"

"As you command!"

The Golden Den Den Mushi lowered its eyes again, quietly letting the receiver return to its back.

"Did we finally find it?"

Imu's eyes sparkled, and a look of pleasure gradually appeared on his face.

For him, this was even more gratifying than bringing Esdeath into the palace.

Because this Devil Fruit will allow him to access multiple realms of rules, such as space, mind, and life, it may not significantly improve his combat power in the short term, but its potential is limitless.

That's right.

It was the Paramecia Op-Op Fruit he had always longed for.

For Imu, even the Dark-Dark Fruit, the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, and even the Rumble-Rumble Fruit cannot compare to it.

That's why he spends a lot of time and energy studying medicine and medical skills, in order to make the best use of the Op-Op Fruit's abilities.

"Redfield did a great job, very well. If you weren't so old, I would have recruited you as one of the Shichibukai."

Imu gazed at the Golden Den Den Mushi on the coffee table, lost in thought, before raising his cool eyes to glance at the Enma Blade on the sword rack not far away.

"It's time to find a time to meet with that person again and clear things up."

Sudden.

The Golden Den Den Mushi, which had just closed its eyes, suddenly opened them again and started calling out, which puzzled him. He then asked, "What is it?"

"Reporting to Imu, the Minister of the High Command 'Steel Bone' Kong and the Minister of the Military Affairs Department and Fleet Admiral of the Air Force Headquarters Zephyr have just submitted a joint report."

"Shiki the Golden Lion, currently imprisoned in Impel Down's 'Level 6 Infinite Hell,' has proactively offered to submit, hoping the government will carefully consider his request."

"Both men believed that Shiki's combat strength and abilities were of great value, and that successfully recruiting him would greatly enhance the overall strength of the Air Force Headquarters."

The person who called this time was Zambalong V. Saint Nusjuro, who recounted the whole story.

"Shiki actually bowed his head?"

Imu was surprised; he never expected that after all these years, this 'piao piao tool' would finally back down. "What did he ask for?"
