Restraint and Self-Healing!

Imu hovered behind the dark-red barrier.

He looked down from above at the white figure in the distance.

The barrier's surface was slightly damaged.

These were the marks left by Luffy's attack.

Nika's flames remained in the most conspicuous gap.

These flames were the bane of Imu's black flames!

Imu's gaze turned cold.

He raised his right hand.

He pointed at the damaged areas of the barrier from afar.

Dozens of dark-red demonic-qi chains emerged.

They precisely covered the gaps.

But things did not go as Imu wished!

The moment the demonic-qi chains touched the white flames at the barrier's core,

a piercing shriek erupted.

White light blazed. Thick black smoke billowed from the chains.

A moment later,

the demonic-qi chains at the front were forcibly burned apart.

They instantly turned to ash.

The demonic qi disappeared completely from the remaining areas.

The dark demonic qi, which could normally heal itself instantly, had now encountered its natural enemy.

It could not heal automatically.

This directly restricted the self-healing ability Imu had always been proud of.

Imu's brows drew together.

Displeasure flashed through his eyes.

Just as expected.

Whether it was Joy Boy of the previous generation or Nika of this generation,

his self-healing ability was restrained by them both!

His self-healing ability had temporarily collapsed.

He could no longer use ordinary demonic qi to fill the wounds he might suffer next.

Ordinary demonic qi dispersed the moment it touched the flames.

He had to use his trump card.

The trump card of the Earth God.

Only by using the Earth God's power could he barely repair the gaps.

Killing Intent surged in his eyes. He absolutely could not allow any power that threatened the foundation of his rule to exist.

In midair, Luffy stopped.

In Luffy's current state, the air
