"Who... should be next?"
Imu's voice seemed to descend from beyond the heavens, ethereal and distant, as though a [deity] standing above them all were speaking.
Combined with the black robe that completely concealed his body and face, and his ability to kill Shanks in an instant...
Every emperor-admiral level powerhouse present was too stunned to speak.
"You'll be next, then, you unlucky fool!"
"Who told you to stand closest to me?"
Imu spoke casually, then selected the emperor-admiral level powerhouse closest to him—Bullet!
"Heh heh, I've been wanting to see just how strong this so-called [King of the World] really is!"
Facing Imu, Bullet actually smiled.
After all, Bullet's goal had always been clear: challenge the [strongest] and become the [strongest]!
His previous target had been Roger.
It was precisely because he could never defeat Roger that Bullet had boarded his ship and joined the Roger Pirates.
But after Roger died, Bullet lost his goal and went berserk, wreaking destruction across the world.
Eventually, the Navy launched an exceptionally powerful Buster Call, and Bullet was arrested and thrown into Impel Down.
Fortunately, Rono's appearance had saved Bullet, and he now regarded Rono as the man he wanted to surpass.
Now Imu had appeared as well, making every drop of blood in Bullet's body boil.
He had never imagined there were still so many powerful people in this world waiting for him to surpass them!
Then... come on!
Whoosh, whoosh!
Bullet unleashed his deep-blue Conqueror's Haki, living up to his title of [Devil's Heir].
"Hmph. An insect dares dream of challenging a god?"
Imu smiled faintly as black Conqueror's Haki silently coated the sword in his hand!
It covered the entire blade, turning it coal-black and making it seem utterly indestructible.
Boom, boom, boom!
The two began exchanging blows.
But
