Loki struggled to his feet, the black mark on his forehead still spreading.
He immediately grabbed the piece of skin with his left hand, unleashing a burst of Conqueror's Haki, and actually tore the skin off.
"Hey! How are you?" Luffy up, walked to Loki's side, and stared anxiously at Imu not far away.
In the sky, Roy slowly lowered his finger.
He had just prepared to make his move.
If Imu doesn't have time to stop Luffy when he tries to mark Loki with the Black Turn Mark, Roy's Telekinesis will instantly pull Loki away from that spot.
But this kid was faster than he expected.
"Not bad," Roy muttered.
"What's good?" Tesoro asked from beside him.
" Luffy is much stronger than he was in Wano Country."
Just as Roy was marveling at Luffy's rapid progress, the Five Elders' battle group, Ace, seeing Luffy in danger several times, withdrew from the first battle group, his figure carried by flames rapidly flying towards the main battlefield.
Roy's figure descended from the sky, blocking Ace's path.
" Roy! Get out of the way!" Ace's body was wreathed in flames, his voice urgent.
" Luffy won't die," Roy said.
That's my younger brother.
"I know."
The two stared at each other for three seconds.
Roy's expression remained unchanged.
Finally, Ace took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to punch Roy through the air.
You'd better make sure he's alright.
I can't guarantee that.
Roy said,
But he won't die here.
" Imu isn't worn down to the point where we need to intervene; going now would only cause trouble."
Ace gritted his teeth.
"You should go to the Five Elders' place now."
"We need to take care of these five old guys first."
Break their Black Turn Mark, then lock it away.
The Seastone chain is ready.
I'll keep an eye on Luffy.
At this moment, Kaido and Bullet are relentlessly bombarding Sacred Saint Warcury, Saint Warcury is nearly crippled, but the other members of the Five Elders are still putting up a stubborn resistance.
"Okay, I'll go."
After Ace finished speaking, flames erupted from his body, and he shot towards the battlefield of the Five Elders like a cannonball.
Roy watched Ace leave, then rose back into the air, finding a spot where he could clearly see Luffy and Loki fighting.
He stood like a spectator on a battlefield, arms crossed, quietly watching the two "suns" clash with Imu.
"Go ahead and fight. Let me see how far you can push this guy."
Roy's gaze fell on Imu.
Nineteen eye-shaped ribbons swayed in the moonlight, while black flames and mist surged around him. Imu's face appeared and disappeared in the interplay of light and shadow, but his eyes remained sharp as knives.
Luffy and Loki stood side by side, one on the left and one on the right, like two volcanoes about to erupt.
"Can I still fight?" Luffy shook his still-bleeding left hand.
"Are you kidding me?" Loki hoisted Iron Thunder onto his shoulder, a grin spreading across his face.
"Let's have another round!"
Luffy smiled.
The two charged at Imu at the same time once again.
boom!
The battle broke out again.
Black flames and Inazuma, dark red Lightning, the three colors of Conqueror's Haki Inazuma intertwined and collided, changing the color of the sky and earth.
With Ace joining the Five Elders, the rhythm of the battle completely changed.
Ace unleashed the full power of his Flame-Flame Fruit, combined with the shockwaves from his Tremor-Tremor Fruit, blasting a large hole in Saint Garling's defensive network.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yamato struck Saint Garling squarely between the eyebrows Yamato his staff.
Conqueror's Haki, imbued with icy power, poured into Saint Garling's forehead, causing countless cracks to appear on the Black Turn Mark under the impact of that power.
"Ah--!!!"
Saint Garling in agony, clutching his head with both hands, unable to even hold onto his knife.
Ace gave him no chance to catch his breath, his fiery fist slamming into his lower back, sending him flying towards Ember.
Jin's flaming blade slashed through the night sky, striking Saint Garling's forehead precisely, causing the Black Turn Mark to explode like a ripped wound.
Saint Garling's body twitched a few times in mid-air, and when he landed, he couldn't stand up.
"Lock it up!" Jin shouted in a low voice.
Two Hachinosu soldiers rushed forward, dragging Seastone chain thicker than an arm, and bound Saint Garling tightly from head to toe.
The moment Saint Garling was bound to death by the Seastone chains, the other Five Elders were stunned for a moment.
It wasn't just simple shock.
It was fear.
In the past eight hundred years, no one of the Five Elders has ever been imprisoned by Seastone.
They are immortal beings, constantly reborn.
But after Saint Garling's Black Turn Mark was torn apart, his body collapsed like a puppet with its strings cut, and he never got up again.
"Who's next?" Bullet licked his lips, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit.
Kaido has already set his sights on Saint Warcury.
Saint Warcury looked extremely disheveled at this moment. Half of his head had been smashed by Kaido, and a large gash had appeared on the Black Turn Mark on his chest, from which black blood mixed with black mist kept gushing out.
"You're the last one." Kaido raised the Hassaikai above his head, dark red lightning gathering on the staff.
Saint Warcury raised his head, a trace of disbelief still lingering in one eye on half of his face.
"I am... Five Elders..."
I don't care who you are.
Kaido slammed his club down.
The blow sent Saint Warcury slamming into the ground, shattering the Black Turn Mark on his chest.
Black blood erupted like a volcano, and the massive body of Saint Warcury convulsed a few times on the ground before rapidly shrinking like a deflated balloon, leaving only a withered skeleton.
"Lock it up! Lock it up!" Jhin waved impatiently from a distance.
Another Seastone chain was dragged over.
Saint Nusjuro, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter, Saint Mars had already sensed something was wrong.
They retreated simultaneously, trying to create distance between themselves.
But the encirclement of Hachinosu had already been completed, and their escape routes were completely blocked.
"Still trying to run?" The Red Count appeared behind Saint Shepherd Ju Peter.
A blood-red claw slashed down from the darkness, precisely slicing across Saint Shepherd Ju Peter's nape.
The Conqueror's Haki, shrouded in blood-red light, had its Black Turn Mark torn in half by this claw.
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter screamed and fell forward.
Ember's flaming blade followed up, slashing right in the back of the neck.
The mark of Saint Shepherd Ju Peter shattered completely, and he fell to the ground like a kite with a broken string.
Saint Mars was cornered by Ace and Yamato working together.
His left knee had been pierced by Yamato's ice spear, and the Black Turn Mark was exposed.
Ace's fiery fist slammed down, and Saint Mars's entire body burst into flames.
In the flames, the mark on his knee was burned and cracked, and then Ace used the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to shatter it.
"There's one left." Everyone turned their attention to the last remaining Saint Nusjuro.
Saint Nusjuro's swordsmanship is indeed superb; even when facing the World's Greatest Swordsman, he can still fight to a standstill.
"Clang!"
Another exchange of blows,
