After being overwhelmed by the powerful Conqueror's Haki, many people felt an overwhelming sense of despair upon sensing this vast, unstoppable aura, as powerful as a mountain pressing down!
Imu simply stood there, without needing to make any extra movements; he only needed to release his aura to repel 99% of the enemies—truly subduing the enemy without a fight!
Luffy: "What kind of monster is that? It's so strong!"
Zoro: "A real beast?"
Nami: "Do they have another trump card? Is this ever going to end?!"
Usopp: "Hey! Hey! How did things suddenly turn out like this? I must be dreaming, Chopper! Slap me awake, I'm having a nightmare!"
Chopper: " Usopp, are you alright?!"
Robin: "Could it be that powerful person who defeated Joy Boy?"
Franky: "If Pluton were here, one shot should be enough to take him down!"
Brook: "Following Mr. Luffy, I'm sure I'll experience the most exciting adventure ever! I'm so excited I'm getting goosebumps! Ah! I'm a skeleton, I don't have goosebumps to get excited about!"
Jinbe: "Has someone even more ruthless arrived?"
Kuzan: "Is this the source of your confidence to take whatever you want?"
The Straw Hat Pirates were not intimidated by Imu's Conqueror's Haki to the point of fainting!
Some of them may not be as strong as the Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral in terms of overall strength, but their mental strength and willpower surpass those of the Marine Vice Admiral, and they are not afraid of the impact of Conqueror's Haki at all!
What perilous adventures have they endured along the way? They have already honed their spirit and will to an extraordinary degree. A single, indiscriminate attack of Conqueror's Haki would be enough to knock even those from Imu!
Akainu: "Who's here again? Is there anyone in the World Government stronger than the Five Elders and the God's Knights?"
Fujitora: "The powerful aura is boundless, like an abyss. Such a strong person is rare in this world. It's a pity that the aura is too evil. It must be an enemy!"
Kizaru: "This is terrifying! This war is going to be tough!"
Zephyr: "An aura of power I've never felt before... the World Government is truly unfathomable!"
Sengoku: "Is this the source of the Five Elders ' confidence? No wonder they dare to invade our world!"
Crane: "The immortality of the Five Elders and the Holy Knights must have been granted by this person, right? How strong is his immortality? Could he really be an undead creature?"
Garp: "Of course he's not an undead creature; he's going to die here today!"
There are fewer than 100 people in the navy who remain conscious, and they are the backbone of the navy!
No one cares about Ryokugyu's death anymore; their attention is now completely drawn to the powerful figure who is about to appear!
When they sensed that aura as powerful as the stars, they were already prepared to die, and not one of them flinched!
"M's world has decayed; it's time to rebuild it. Too many dazzling lights are a despicable waste. The superfluous lights should be extinguished, and let M's light illuminate this world alone!"
With a soft, almost declarative murmur, the massive black flames vanished completely, revealing a group of people within the pentagram array!
The tall, slender figure wearing a crown was the most eye-catching. Those who knew of Imu's existence didn't need any introduction; they automatically associated the name with that person!
"They've finally arrived. I never expected Imu to be a woman!"
At this moment, Imu made no attempt to conceal her appearance, revealing her true face!
Perhaps in Imu's eyes, everyone who comes to Lodestar Island is going to die, and since they are all dead, there is no need to hide their faces!
Vic had considered this possibility, but he never expected that Imu would be a woman, and an extremely beautiful one at that!
Vic doesn't subscribe to the idea that good looks equal justice. No matter how beautiful you are, you have to be eliminated. There's no longer any place for Imu to survive in this world!
Her existence will only corrupt the soil of this world; she is the beginning of all evil!
"I never imagined they were hiding so many powerful individuals!"
Dragon didn't pay much attention to Imu; he was no match for him. Im's mere presence was enough to instill fear in anyone!
He knew that even if ten of him attacked together, they wouldn't be able to defeat the other side, so he focused all his attention on the group of people behind Imu!
Imu brought a number of people, not many, but not few either, a good twenty or so. Those who could come with Imu were certainly not weaklings; Dragon guessed they were at least no weaker than the Five Elders and the God's Knights.
The group that Imu brought was indeed formidable; half of them were former members of the Five Elders, and they were all elderly men and women with white hair!
Some are tired of the repetitive life of those in power and want to step down!
Some stepped down voluntarily to make way for younger generations!
Some want to retire and enjoy life!
Others were persuaded to leave by Imu!
The reasons are varied, but these people all have one thing in common: they were all granted long lives by Imu, living from the past to the present. Now that the World Government is facing a crisis, it is time for them to repay Imu!
In the more than 800 years since the World Government was established, there have been very few instances of the Five Elders being killed; only a few have been eliminated. Therefore, the Five Elders who control the World Government have remained relatively stable over these 800 years.
Even if things are stable, over hundreds of years, it won't always be just those five people in control. Even if they have long lifespans, it's not surprising that so many are still left!
Apart from those who have served as members of the Five Elders, the other half are all in demon form!
Among these people, there were people of all shapes and sizes, and their original appearances were no longer discernible. The aura they exuded was also extremely powerful, no weaker than that of the elders on the other side who had long since retired from their positions as the Five Elders!
This is the power Imu brought. She didn't bring more people. In battles between powerhouses of this level, numbers can no longer determine the outcome. Imu clearly understands this principle better, after all, she has already experienced such a great battle once!
"Is this the enemy who killed my father? What a powerful aura! Mr. Vic, you must do your best!"
Upon sensing Imu's presence, Ace immediately recalled what Vic had told him about his father's killer. Although he knew that the other party was a powerful being at the God Realm, he hadn't expected the gap between them to be so vast!
Vic has also demonstrated the methods of the God Realm, but Vic has never released his full power, so Ace doesn't have a deep understanding of it!
Only now do I understand why this realm is called the Law God or the God Realm. It is the difference between humans and gods, a gap that is difficult to cross!
Ace no longer harbored any ambition to take revenge himself; he could only place all his hopes on Vic!
"So there's such a powerful figure hiding behind the World Government. Is my dream truly unattainable?"
When Kaido saw Imu, he was utterly devastated. He had thought that the Holy Knights were the Celestial Dragons and the World Government's trump card!
Who would have thought that there was a powerful figure hidden behind him who far surpassed the God's Knights and the Five Elders? What's the point of seeking revenge or overthrowing the World Government? He might as well find an island and become a mountain king. His whole life of jumping around is a joke!
