• Roy explored his consciousness space and found it transformed into a wasteland surrounded by nineteen enormous eyes.
• As the eyes' pressure blurred his memories, Roy declared that he was Roy and reignited his Conqueror's Haki and the Soul-Soul Fruit's blue flame.

• Ace and the others found Imu’s empty shell, and King confirmed that nothing remained inside it.
• Hawk Eyes warned that Imu’s power was now inside the array, while Luffy and Yamato called out to Roy, whose presence they could no longer sense.

After Imu merged with the formation, Roy’s consciousness was overwhelmed by the regenerated, stronger eyes while black mist continued draining his Haki and life. The allied forces could not break through the formation, and Tesoro was gravely injured trying to reach Roy.

• Imu’s nineteen pairs of eyes regenerated in Roy’s consciousness and battered him with relentless Mental Shock, forcing him to rely on the Soul-Soul Fruit’s blue flame as his last defense.
