Boom—!!
The Flower Room erupted.
Rock's fist, wreathed in blue-white lightning, drove straight into the thick darkness. Savage bolts tore through the black energy like blades.
But in the next instant...
The scattered darkness did not fade. It gathered again as if alive, surging back like a tide.
The enormous black ring behind Imu slowly turned. Countless eyes across its surface opened at once.
With a rush, two massive black wings spread from either side of the ring, nearly blotting out half the sky above the Flower Room.
Lightning exploded beneath Rock's feet.

He vanished in a streak of electricity.
The next instant, Rock appeared to Imu's left and threw a right punch with its lightning compressed to the limit.
Boom!

It formed a vicious demonic arm in an instant, its clenched fist hurtling toward him.
Boom—!
Blue-white lightning and black Demonic Energy exploded against each other in midair. The shockwave sent petals whirling everywhere.
Rock's eyes sharpened.
Only then did Imu turn. A long demonic tail swept out behind Imu as a strangely shaped, long-handled serrated blade dropped from the darkness into Imu's hand.
Black energy crawled up the handle and along the edge. The whole weapon trembled like a living thing, giving off a low hum.
"Void Sword."
Rock raised an eyebrow. "A sword? Do you people know what a sword is?"

Boom!
Imu vanished, moving so fast that even Observation Haki caught only a black streak.
A heartbeat later, the serrated blade came down at Rock's face.
Clang—!!
Lightning instantly formed a Lightning Blade in Rock's palm, and Haki coated it.
The two weapons slammed together, and Conqueror's Haki
