A War of Words and Bluffing with Imu

If you were determined to do that, you would have acted long ago!

If you wanted to destroy the world and take us down with you, you could do it right now.

Imu, you can't bring yourself to give up on this world!

Or are you waiting for Sun God Joy Boy? For the War God of Elbaf? Or perhaps for Nefertari Lili?

Joy Boy was both your enemy and your dearest friend, while Lili was both the woman you loved and an enemy who turned her back on you!

You've lived so long, holed up in Mary Geoise all this time. What's the point of such a monotonous life?

Don't tell me you enjoy ruling the world from the shadows.

Maybe what you're really fixated on is waiting for them to return!

Houka believed that someone with Imu's temperament would never abandon hope until the very last moment.

The fact that Imu had led nineteen kings to defeat the mighty Great Kingdom and Joy Boy was proof enough of that tenacity.

Take the world down with them?

That was easy to say!

Imu was merely looking for a chance to kill Houka and Rocks.

"Stop pretending you know what I'm thinking!"

"You just want to stall until Poseidon grows up, or until Joy Boy reincarnates and you find the Human-Human Fruit, Model: Nika."

"Your supposed fear of Davy Jones and the three gods is just an excuse."

"If you truly want to coexist peacefully, hand Poseidon over to me. Or give me my contracted servants and the Monkey Clan."

"Then I might consider granting you either the North Blue or the West Blue!"

"That would also give us a basis for investigating and dealing with Davy Jones and the three gods together."

Imu had been fooled by Kozuki Houka
