Imu in the Crosshairs

"Not a single one of those immortal monsters died?!"

Golden Lion Shiki was stunned. Were the Four Elders and the Holy Knights really that hard to kill?

Or was Imu's power simply that absurd?

One precious shot from Pluton had only killed some Cipher Pol agents, fighters from the Affiliated Nations, and a few unlucky Marines?

"Lord Rocks has abandoned us?!"

Some of the islanders and pirates on Elysium Island cried out in
