Imu Frozen! Inside Impel Down! (Continued)
Imu, who possessed the body of Gunko, did possess some strength, to be fair.
In the comics, Im's instant freezing by Loki seems pathetic, but in reality, this state of Imu also instantly defeated Dorry and Brogy, two powerful Titans capable of going toe-to-toe with the Five Elders.
Although it relies on the overpowered skill "Black Turn Domination," let's not even talk about whether it's a one-hit kill.
"Nidhogg..."
The double-barreled shotgun in Imu's hand vanished, and the anger in his eyes caused by Saint Shepherd Sommers's death was gradually replaced by a strange sigh.
This living fossil, who has lived for eight hundred years, simply stared blankly at Loki, "So you've always been here?"
"Besides,"
He then looked at the warhammer Loki was holding, "Iron Thunder."
"Squeak squeak squeak!!"
A squirrel's face suddenly appeared on the surface of the hammer. The little squirrel chattered angrily, as if it were shouting at Imu.
"Snort."
Imu seemed to chuckle softly, his eyes softening slightly. "I see. You've been waiting all this time too?"
"But what's the point of waiting like this? Joy Boy couldn't do it, and neither could Dōsan."
"You are equally incapable; everything you do is merely repeating the mistakes of eight hundred years ago."
"I won't listen to your nonsense!"
Without hesitation, Loki swung his hammer directly at Imu.
However, Imu's wings suddenly flapped, and his body soared into the sky like Inazuma.
His speed is quite astonishing.
Loki...
Imu didn't rush to attack; instead, he once again drifted into memories.
"M had always found it hard to understand how Harald, who was so powerful he could be called a monster, could have been killed in Elbaf. It wasn't until I saw you that I finally understood why."
He said with some regret, "You did something foolish, Loki. Harald already had everything, and Mu's world could have become more complete with his addition."
"Go to hell!"
Loki's forehead veins bulged, and his ferocious Conqueror's Haki swept across the sky like a whirlwind. "You are not allowed to mention that name!"
Loki always thought his bastard Pops was an idiot.
How could anyone believe the promises of a shitty World Government!
But that bastard Pops is also the Pops who loves him the most, the second most respected man in the world!
Now, he's going to avenge that man!
"Die, you bastard! Iron Thunder One Hammer!"
At the same time, a heavy hammer, Coating with Haki, thunder, and frost, crashed down.
But.
With a flap of its black wings, Imu once again Killer.
The devastating hammer blow missed its mark once again.
"You are just like Dōsan, Loki,"
Imu's tone was like a senior giving advice to a junior, "The weakness is too obvious."
"Yeah?"
An intrigued voice sounded beside me.
Imu suddenly turned around, and lightning gathered behind him.
"Speed is power."
Naito used the same trick again, delivering another roundhouse kick straight to Imu's chest.
That's why it's said that even giving up World wouldn't matter now.
Because there's already an equally useful Enel.
However, even when possessing Gunko's body, Imu is still Imu.
Since he could easily dodge Loki's attacks, it was naturally impossible for him to be hit by Naito so easily.
Black energy surged in his hand, conjuring a long trident out of thin air. A powerful and Haki clung to it, perfectly blocking Naito's attack.
A thunderous strike, a roaring black flash, and a hurricane swept across the sky in an instant.
However, Imu was ultimately kicked away by Naito.
Hmm, both involve possession, but it seems that possession by oneself is indeed superior.
Junmu has some strength, but that's about it.
"Night King— "
Imu flapped his wings, instantly stabilizing himself, and his eyes finally turned to Naito. "It's incredible that a man like you could be born in this era."
"However, whatever you're planning, it's all in vain."
"Don't worry, Imu."
Naito merely smirked, then instantly reappeared in front of Imu in a flash. "Now is not the time to chat. I'll be there to find you soon."
"I have other things to do next, so you can leave now."
He made a grasping motion in the air with his right hand.
The projection force forcibly fixed the lightning, condensing it into a giant lightning sword that shone with lightning, and then two-colored Haki attached itself to it.
Imu remained expressionless. "Madman."
"Take this hammer blow!"
Loki had already flown behind Imu once more, raising his warhammer high.
Both of them attacked from both sides!
At that very moment, Gunko's body trembled, and he suddenly leaned back, a dark shadow shooting up from his stomach.
"What?"
Loki's hammer swing abruptly halted as he stared in astonishment at the dark figure almost level with him. "What the hell is that?!"
"M's world has no need for you."
Imu, now completely transformed into a black shadow, calmly spoke, "Let Em sign a contract with you. You will exchange your lifespans for greater power, and in return, you will fight each other to the death."
"Devil Contract --"
Two magic circles suddenly appeared in front of the dark figure, and two tentacles extended from his body, instantly piercing through the two magic circles and heading towards Naito and Loki respectively.
"Black Turn Domination!"
Without any hesitation, Naito Elementalization, instantly creating a hole in his chest through which the tentacle passed.
Loki was able to resist the Black Turn Domination, but he didn't know if he could.
Yes, that's another benefit of possessing Enel; the Observation Haki technique of reading minds is incredibly useful.
Even a monster like Imu can easily predict his actions.
Naito easily dodged, but the massive Loki was not so lucky; his chest was instantly pierced by the tentacle.
Loki's expression changed drastically. "This is Black Turn Domination!"
The move the Night King spoke of that would leave even Rocks with no choice but to suffer a bitter defeat!
But--
"I don't feel anything at all! It's completely useless!"
Loki simply ripped the tentacle off.
There was absolutely no pain, and no bleeding!
Is that really the case?
Imu's eyes darkened slightly.
It really doesn't work on this guy!
"Then let's leave it at that."
Naito finally swung his sword, severing the shadowy figure in one strike and separating Imu from Gunko's body.
Not only that, Naito then unleashed several more sword strikes, cleaving the dark figure and Gunko's body into pieces.
But it's meaningless.
Not to mention Imu in his shadow form, even the Gunko, who was possessed by him, was rapidly recovering.
Tsk, as expected, Gunko's immortality is on par with the Five Elders, even a level higher than the God's Knights, after all, she also maintains an ageless appearance!
Moreover, after Imu possessed him, his immortality seemed to have become even stronger!
For a specific example, refer to the God Valley Incident where several powerful figures ganged up on Imu, who was possessing Saturn.
"Let me do it!"
Loki roared, and a chilling aura emanated from his warhammer.
"The Primordial World!"
The hammer slammed down.
The moment it touched the shadowy Imu, a burst of cold air erupted, and a white column of energy pierced through the sky in an instant.
The next second, the huge block of ice was already falling from the sky.
The distorted shadows and Gunko's body, which was connected to the shadows, were frozen inside.
Naito activated his projection, grabbing the large ice block and making it float over.
"Is this okay?"
Loki flapped his wings and flew over, carefully examining the two shadows frozen in the ice. "Iron Thunder's ice—no one can break it except itself!"
"That's true, but,"
Naito raised his hand and pointed to the writhing shadow inside the ice. "It doesn't seem to be working on him."
The shadowy figure's dark, hollow eyes silently watched Naito and Loki.
"This monster!!"
Loki gritted his teeth.
Then, the distorted shadow vanished in an instant.
"He really got away!"
