Imu's Secret, the GOD Race

Sure enough, as Imu spoke, Rono's killing intent gradually subsided!

And it wasn't just Rono. Rocks, Roger, Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and the other legendary pirates of the Godslayer Pirates fell silent too!

So did the Revolutionary Army's fighters, led by Dragon!

And the Navy Strongmen, led by Sengoku and Garp!

"How terrifying, Most Evil Criminal!"

Imu immediately sensed Rono's special Observation Haki. A bead of cold sweat ran down his face beneath the mask.
