Meanwhile, Imu and the Demon Legion are still transforming demons, Luffy and his crew have also been approached by the Five Elders and the God's Knights.
Although the Navy and many pirates are now on Vic's side, the two sides are still not evenly matched!
Before Imu arrived with his men, Luffy and his Luffy were already at a disadvantage. Although Vic joined them later, Vic didn't really make a move.
Now that Imu has brought so many powerful figures, even with the Navy's top combat power and some strong pirates, they are still no match for the World Government!
As more and more demons are transformed, and more living forces are drawn into the conflict, things will only get more and more difficult for Luffy and his crew!
In fact, the Conqueror's Haki of Luffy and his fellow powerful individuals can undo most of the demon transformations.
However, they were all tied up by the Five Elders and the God's Knights, who possessed immortality, and had no room to use their abilities. This resulted in more and more people being transformed into demons, which meant there were more and more enemies. They could only watch helplessly!
However, in the midst of this escalating situation, wherever two old men passed by, the demons there reverted to their original forms, looking around blankly.
These two were Tsuru, who had proven the effectiveness of her abilities, and Sengoku, who was protecting her. Tsuru's abilities were not just effective, they were extremely effective, as if they were tailor-made for her!
Her ability can cleanse and purify the negative emotions and evil thoughts in other people's hearts, depriving Imu's demonic power of its fertile ground, and the demonized person will naturally turn back!
Actually, back in God Valley, it wasn't so easy for Imu to transform Rocks into a demon!
One reason is that Imu's true form wasn't present; it's not that his power wasn't strong enough!
Secondly, Rocks was very strong. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the strongest person under the God Realm at that time. He was not so easy to convert, even if Imu himself came!
So why was Rocks ultimately transformed by Imu? This brings us to the influence of will, ambition, and personality on a person.
Imu threatened Rocks with his wife and children, using familial ties to sway his will!
Furthermore, in the process of building his pirate crew and realizing his ambitions, Rocks accumulated many dark thoughts and desires. When Imu amplified these thoughts and desires, they became somewhat uncontrollable!
If Luffy had been the one in the Luffy, Imu wouldn't have been able to transform him at all, because Luffy didn't have any negative emotions; he just longed for adventure and freedom. What negative emotions could Imu possibly amplify?
"Restraint between the Laws?"
How could Tsuru's movements escape Imu's notice? She quickly noticed Tsuru and Sengoku's actions!
Imu has no bottom line when it comes to harming the weak. If anything threatens her plans, even something as small as a rabbit, she will crush it without hesitation. So Imu took action immediately!
From beneath her black robe emerged a devilish tail, which shot towards the crane like an arrow, just as it had when it had shot Cobra in Pangaea Castle —swift, accurate, and ruthless!
bite
Just like last time, Imu's tail missed its target again, and Vic once again chopped it off!
Vic kept his eyes on Imu, but didn't go looking for a fight or provoke him. They were probably all wary of him, so he sensed the killing intent emanating from Imu immediately.
Tsuru is Momousagi's older sister, even if she's her adopted sister, she's still her sister, and I can't just stand by and watch her die. Besides, Vic has discovered Tsuru's ability, which seems to be able to break Imu's demon transformation, so I absolutely can't leave her alone!
" Imu! It seems you have no bottom line when it comes to doing things, so I'll have no scruples either!"
Vic stood in front of Tsuru and Sengoku, holding the Black Blade Blood Wither in his hand. After speaking, he unleashed a Sword Gang.
The Sword Gang aura wasn't aimed at Imu on the other side. Vic knew that Sword Gang of this level wouldn't be of much use to Imu, so he might as well collect some interest from Imu!
On the other side of the battlefield, Saint Shepherd Sommers, who was besieging Dragon, suddenly felt that his body could not move. It was not that he was mentally stunned and unable to move, but that he could not move in a physical sense!
He felt his body enveloped by a powerful, invisible force, and he couldn't move even a finger!
Before he could think any further, he felt a sharp pain in his lower back, and his upper body began to separate from his waist!
Then blood gushed out and excruciating pain struck, followed by a complete blackout. Saint Shepherd Sommers lost consciousness completely; his once invincible immortality vanished without a trace!
As usual, Vic used his spatial abilities to trap Saint Shepherd Sommers there, Vic him of both his mobility and his immortality. Coupled with his fatal wound, Saint Shepherd Sommers could only watch helplessly as he died!
"I admire you. Your name is Vic, right? You're very brave. Come help me and become one of the first Five Elders after the world restarts. I will grant you immortal life, just like them!"
Seeing that Vic had blocked his attack and killed another God's Knights, Imu showed no anger. His tone remained calm, yet carried an air of superiority!
She hadn't expected that Vic wouldn't show any fear after learning of her strength. This composure and courage were qualities that none of the previous Five Elders or God's Knights possessed, and she felt a slight admiration for him.
Crane! Just an old woman who can break the Black Turn Domination. She didn't care much about these demons transformed by the Black Turn Domination. They had no impact on the final battle. She was just forcing someone to show themselves!
The old woman is optional; she's almost at the end of her life, how could she possibly break through to the God Domain?
You admire me? But I don't really think much of you; your perspective is too narrow!
You've already reached such a level of power, why are you still so obsessed with it?
With your strength and lifespan, what can't you get? Why carry such a heavy burden like the Celestial Dragons?
You think they're working for you to control the world? Little do you know how much they've benefited themselves and their families by relying on your power!
Besides receiving the Devil Fruit you wanted from them over decades or centuries, what else did you get?
But their descendants have all become parasites who lord it over the world. The resentment they have created has ultimately come to you, just like today. What are you trying to achieve?"
Vic chuckled, knowing that Imu had simply delegated all the other trivial matters to capable Celestial Dragons to make it easier for him to become stronger.
But this deal was a loss, a huge loss at that. You could say that everything the Celestial Dragons have is due to her power!
But did she spend a single cent of the Heavenly Tribute? Didn't the Celestial Dragons squander it all?
Did she ever use any of those gourmet foods and luxury goods? Didn't the Celestial Dragons eat and wear them all?
Did she even stay a single day in Mary Geoise's luxurious palace? It was also inhabited by Celestial Dragons!
The Celestial Dragons can travel the world, but has she ever been? She can only isolate herself among the Flower Room, erasing her own existence!
It could be said that everything the Celestial Dragons gained was a commission paid by Imu, but what did she get in return?
A Devil Fruit that's only needed once every few decades or even centuries—isn't this a losing proposition? It's a complete rip-off!
It could be said that all the Celestial Dragons fawned over her, sucking her blood, yet she did so willingly. Aside from her immense strength and long lifespan, what else is truly remarkable about her?
