Bzzzz~ Bzzzz~
Imu's figure suddenly dissolved into a black phantom.
His body swelled to dozens of times its original size, its enormous shadow inspiring sheer terror, like some ancient beast.
Everyone present, even Emperor-Admiral Level fighters such as the Marine Admirals, the Five Elders, and the Holy Knights,
As well as the leading pirates, including Whitebeard, Rocks, and Roger, felt an inexplicable pang of dread.
It was as though some terrifying primordial fierce beast had been unleashed.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A moment later, Imu's figure finally appeared before them.
He was a reptile resembling an enormous salamander, with black flame clouds coiling around his body—the mark of an awakened Zoan Devil Fruit user!
"It's a dragon! A celestial dragon!"
Everyone present was utterly stunned when they saw Imu's transformed appearance!
Indeed, Imu's ability was the Zoan-type Dragon-Dragon Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Model: Nidhogg!
(Note: Nidhogg is a dragon from Norse mythology, a four-clawed dragon.)
"Roar~ Roar~"
In his Nidhogg form, Imu's body measured several thousand meters.
Black scales covered him from head to tail, reflecting a dazzling metallic gleam in the sunlight.
His terrifying body looked as though it had been cast from molten iron!
His piercing roars were like sharp knives stabbing into their eardrums, sending agonizing pain through their heads!
"There it is! Lord Imu's Devil Fruit ability!"
"Mythical Zoan: Nidhogg Form!"
"You're the first to have ever pushed Lord Imu this far."
"Very well. Witness the true power of the King of the World."
The Five Elders spoke with deep reverence as they watched Imu transform.
To think Lord Imu had been forced to use his Devil Fruit ability. Their opponents clearly had some strength.
But now that Lord Imu had truly unleashed his Devil Fruit ability, the battle was as good as over in the Five Elders' eyes.
