While Saturn can indeed resurrect, it's not limitless; it also consumes Imu's power!

If he is resurrected too many times, Imu will most likely give up on him, Saturn. There are many people who covet his position as one of the Five Elders. Shanks ' Pops, Figarland Saint Garling, has been eyeing that position for a long time. Saturn knows this, so he also has his own ulterior motives!

Saturn's plan is to lure the other Five Elders over first. If Vic isn't here, he'll overpower Straw Hat Boy and Vegapunk and take the Fusion Reactor and the Mother Flame.

This is a great achievement; apart from being a bit of an overreaction, there are no other problems!

If Vic is really here, then the Five Elders can share the blame and escape punishment because of their numbers. Each of them could die a few times and the matter would be settled evenly, since none of the five of them are a match for Vic, as Lord Imu already knows!

What's more, Kuzan, a former Marine Admiral, and Nika are here. Using Vic as an excuse, they can even bring over a few members of the Holy Knights to help them out!

That kid Vic is on Imu's side; if Lord Imu knew Vic was here, he would most likely increase his troop strength.

Vic Imu has witnessed Vic's strength firsthand, so Saturn can delegate the responsibility to more people. Surely Lord Imu won't blame him again?

Saturn's idea is excellent, but Imu is the most complex human being, and an ancient monster who has lived for nearly a thousand years. Is his thinking so easy to fathom?

Not long after, while Saturn was being beaten, he communicated with the other Five Elders, who had already made all the necessary preparations and were ready to arrive at any time!

With his confidence restored, Saturn immediately unleashed his ultimate attack, sending Luffy, and then used the opening to complete the summoning of the pentagram magic circle!

A stream of black light covered a large area, enveloping the four pentagram arrays. Accompanied by intense Conqueror's Haki and crimson Inazuma, four ferocious figures of varying heights and builds appeared within the black light!

"Luckily, we took precautions when choosing the research site, otherwise, facing Nika..."

Egghead was once a country, a non- Affiliated Nation. Later, the World Government chose it as the venue for the triennial hunting competition, and the country was destroyed!

Once the island's resources were exhausted, it became an uninhabited island, but it remained under the control of the World Government.

Saturn was the one who supervised that hunting competition, just like the one in God Valley. So he left coordinates in Egghead that time that could be used for teleportation, and he used them this time when the crisis occurred!

"What is that? It looks really interesting! Hahahaha!"

Luffy was about to rush over and give Saturn another beating when he saw this visually stunning scene and stopped to watch the spectacle.

Luffy has always been a free spirit, and after Awakening his Nika Form, he became even more so. He can stop and watch the excitement during life-or-death battles, as he did several times during his fight with Kaido.

Sometimes he would use moves he'd never seen before, and seeing this scene, he naturally stopped!

"Such a powerful aura, what happened on the island?"

On a warship surrounding the island, a marine left behind unconsciously remarked that he was intimidated by the powerful aura emanating from the island!

It wasn't just him; the aura emanating from the island was so domineering and fierce that any living creature could sense the immense mental pressure. The other remaining naval personnel and agents were also gazing at the center of the island, trying to guess what had happened!

"What is that? This aura!"

The Marine Vice Admiral, who was fighting the Straw Hat Pirates, also felt that powerful aura that pierced his soul. His movements stopped instantly, and his gaze involuntarily turned to the black stream of light that flashed with blood-red Inazuma!

Ordinary marines are not strong enough and have a vague sense of aura, but Marine Vice Admiral are different. The strength of aura is very obvious to them!

This unrestrained and powerful aura terrified even the Marine Vice Admiral!

Not only this Marine Vice Admiral, but the other Marine Vice Admiral landed on the island also stopped what they were doing. There was a powerful aura that suddenly appeared, and no one could ignore it. Even their enemies, the Straw Hat Pirates, stopped their attack and looked in a certain direction with drastically changed expressions!

"There are now five monsters!"

Luffy finally saw the five monster figures in the streak of light. He couldn't kill one of them, and now there were four more. Even Luffy was having a headache!

"Oh my! They're definitely not a simple pirate crew; they've even provoked those five!"

Aokiji felt a headache coming on. He knew that Straw Hat Luffy could cause trouble and attract trouble, but he didn't expect him to attract this much trouble. He had just joined and had already run into the arms of the Five Elders. This was too unlucky. He felt that Vic was setting him up. He didn't know what kind of terrible enemies he would face in the future!

"Has the wild animal come?"

Zoro stopped what he was doing, took the Wado Ichimonji out of his mouth, and stared intently at the direction from which the powerful aura was coming.

Zoro has always considered himself the beast, but the powerful aura emanating from that person carried an even wilder, more ferocious beastly presence, causing Zoro to unconsciously begin calling the other person a beast!

"Wild animals! Aren't they food?"

Sanji, who was not far from Zoro, was also watching in that direction. After kicking a man in a suit away, he lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and exhaled a long trail of smoke.

"Trouble is brewing!"

Jinbe glanced back at the direction from which the aura came, then looked away. He was more concerned with the present, with eliminating the enemy before him. As for reinforcements from stronger enemies? That was something to deal with later, and he would do his best to handle it!

"An evil aura! A powerful enemy! Is this what Vic feared?"

Rebecca retrieved hundreds of flying swords and gathered them behind her, just like the Thunder Drum behind Vic. However, the shape formed by the flying swords was even more fierce and terrifying, making those who watched feel as if they had thorns in their backs!

"There's a familiar stench! Where is it coming from?"

Hancock stopped unleashing her charm and instead looked in the direction from which the aura was coming, muttering to herself. There was a struggle in her eyes, her pupils dilating and her forehead sweating one moment, and her eyes filled with fierce killing intent the next. She was in a very contradictory state of mind, sometimes terrified, sometimes filled with boundless hatred and killing intent!

"Is everyone here? I hope Vic wasn't just exaggerating!"

Even Kizaru, who had already been beaten down by Luffy, sensed the explosive aura emanating from the building. Although he had lost his fighting ability, he was still conscious. He just didn't want to participate in the battle anymore. He had already prepared an excuse and a way out. Now it was up to Vic to see how he would resolve Vegapunk's crisis!

"Spatial power! Borrowed spatial power? I really shouldn't underestimate Imu. After living for so long, he has indeed comprehended the Law of Space and can now lend spatial power to others. So! Will you come over here personally this time?"

Hidden in the shadows, Vic had already sensed those four familiar evil auras. He knew that the Five Elders had all arrived, and with Kizaru added to the mix, Vic had no idea how Luffy had managed to get through this in the original story!
