All the prisoners on Level Six were on his side, meaning Redfield, Bullet, Doflamingo, Paris, Avalo Pizarro...

And Shiryu!

This combined power surpasses that of any pirate crew in the New World!

If this force joins the battle, Naito and his team will be in danger; their strength is completely mismatched!

Damn it!

Shortly thereafter.

Above Mary Geoise, above that enormous island that floats silently.

Naito, possessing World's body, sat on the edge of the island, swinging his legs.

"So, this is the last one left."

He lowered his head, his gaze passing between his knees, looking down at Mary Geoise, which was so far away that its shape was almost indistinguishable.

"Call--"

He slowly let out a sigh of relief, pressed his hands against the edge of the island and gently exerted force, his body floating in front of the island.

"Shiki, release your powers."

It was clearly talking to itself, but the next moment, the island floating in the sky suddenly trembled, and the gravity that it had just overcome instantly captured it again.

Call!

With a roaring sound of wind, the enormous island suddenly began to fall.

"Call out--"

Naito whistled softly. "A little something to start the conversation. Hope you like it."

Almost simultaneously, below, deep within Pangaea Castle, Flower Room and lush green grass.

The Five Elders knelt respectfully on the ground, but their expressions were all quite grim.

Ahead of the five, Imu, still shrouded in a black robe, was staring intently at a butterfly resting on his fingertip.

"That man's abilities are indeed exceptionally troublesome!"

One of the Five Elders, the bald, mustachioed Warcury, spoke in a grave voice, "Just a moment ago he was in the New World fighting off the God's Knights alongside Loki, and now he's back in Impel Down!"

Even more shameless than Lord Imu! After all, Lord Imu also has to pay a price to sign a contract, and the number is limited, so he carefully selects each contractor!

But that bastard Night King doesn't seem to be like that. At least according to the final report from Impel Down, when the Night King appeared on Level 6 of Impel Down this time, he was possessing just an unknown nobody!

Moreover, after possessing someone, this guy can unleash incredibly powerful strength, so most of the time he doesn't even need his original body to fight!

If the true form doesn't appear, how can we defeat him?

"Lord Imu,"

Saturn, his face covered in a full beard, said with a hint of worry, "The power the Night King has gathered is already far too astonishing..."

With the already formidable World and his crew, plus Loki the Giant, Golden Lion, and the prisoners from Impel Down, this force would likely be beyond the reach of even the Marine Headquarters.

Even the Navy cannot possibly devote all its resources to suppressing this group!

Imu gently lifted his finger, and the butterfly that had been resting on his fingertip fluttered its wings and took flight.

The King of the World glanced back slightly. "Find him and Loki. Mu will go there himself."

"Yes!"

This time, the Five Elders had no objections.

With that weapon no longer readily usable, it is indeed time for Lord Imu to take action.

At that very moment, Imu suddenly looked up.

"You madman, you're incredibly audacious!"

Before the Five Elders could even react to what was happening, a terrifying arc of black electricity erupted from the tall, slender figure before them.

Amidst the raging, Haki arcs of electricity, jet-black wings unfolded.

Chapter Twenty-Two Kings

Mary Geoise, this city in the clouds, remains as peaceful as ever today.

The city is divided into two areas: one is the White Town where the Celestial Dragons gather, and the other is the government center where Pangaea Castle is located.

Although the two together constitute Mary Geoise, they are actually somewhat separated.

World Government personnel are prohibited from entering the Celestial Dragons' settlements, and the Celestial Dragons generally do not come to Pangaea Castle, because even the God's Knights do not hold any positions in the World Government.

The change happened very suddenly. It wasn't until a thick shadow suddenly descended from the sky and enveloped the entire Pangaea Castle that the guards patrolling outside the Pangaea Castle realized something was wrong.

The sky over Mary Geoise rarely has clouds, let alone such heavy light and shadows that make the earth appear pitch black!

The guards, who had curiously looked up, were instantly stunned.

His pupils trembled, his face turned pale, sweat uncontrollably seeped from his forehead, and all his strength was instantly drained from his body, almost causing him to collapse to the ground.

"That, that's it!!"

A colossal object is falling from the sky, its impact creating a visible white cloud that seems to distort space itself.

But no sound could be heard.

This is probably because the speed at which that enormous object fell far exceeded the speed at which it made a sound.

The guards couldn't even utter a sound; they were speechless, their mouths agape as if trying to speak.

We're doomed!

The entire Pangaea Castle will be smashed to pieces, and the entire central World Government will be wiped out in the next instant!

What will this world become next?

These ordinary guards were thinking about something else entirely.

But, at that very moment...

An invisible wave of air spread out, and a visible ripple of air swept across the entire Pangaea Castle.

The terrified guards foamed at the mouth and fainted in an instant.

Not only them, but the vast majority of people in Pangaea Castle also lost consciousness at that moment.

Even further away, in the Celestial Dragons' settlements, large numbers of Celestial Dragons were also rolling their eyes and falling unconscious.

A breathtaking and unparalleled Conqueror's Haki!

Immediately, the top of Pangaea Castle exploded, and a figure soared into the sky.

It is tall and strong, with broad black wings on its back, wild white hair, two horns on its forehead, and brown skin covered with white spots.

Behind his head was a black ring filled with pupils.

He looked up at the island that had fallen.

"Madman!"

He first flicked his finger.

A ball of black flame shot out instantly.

If you look closely, you'll see that this flame is alive!

It had remarkably human-like features, and its small eyes were fixed intently on the bottom of the island that had fallen from above.

Its speed was astonishing; it crashed into the bottom of the island almost instantly.

However, its impact caused no damage; it simply remained firmly attached to the bottom of the island.

Then, the demonic figure touched the tips of its right index finger and thumb together, making an OK sign.

"The Grudge Demon Sword."

A jet-black beam of light shot into the sky, tens of meters thick, Inazuma with lightning speed, and in an instant it struck the area beneath the island.

The enormous island was as fragile as tofu in the face of this pillar of light, unable to stop it in the slightest.

The next instant, a black beam of light shot up into the sky from above the island, piercing straight through the fallen island.

Then.

Boom!

The island, several kilometers in diameter, began to tremble violently, and cracks suddenly appeared on its surface.

From these cracks, large amounts of black flames suddenly erupted, as if a black volcano were erupting inside the island.

The next instant, accompanied by a deafening roar, the entire island exploded from the inside.

Black flames bloomed in the sky, releasing a dense darkness like a black sun, instantly staining the entire sky with an ink-like hue.

In the pitch-black sky, countless large and small fragments of the shattered island flew in all directions.

Although they are called fragments, the smallest pieces are the size of houses, and the largest are as large as mountains.

"Solar Eclipse Critical Strike."

The black ring behind the demon's head expanded in that instant, and the pupils on the black ring suddenly opened, followed by countless black fireballs erupting out.

These fireballs, too, seemed to possess life, baring their fangs and claws as they lunged at the countless fragments scattered across the sky.

Their speed was astonishing; just a few seconds later, the leading fireball had already crashed into the first batch of debris.

This time, it wasn't as gentle as the black fireball from before.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The black fireball exploded instantly.

The Air Quake; a series of explosions instantly transformed the entire sky into a sea of blazing fire.

"Oh."

Naito floated high in the sky, looking down at the scene below with great interest.

"Isn't that an exaggeration?"

That enormous island has now been blasted into real fragments.

Mary Geoise might experience a rain of pebbles, but it certainly wouldn't cause any significant damage.

That's truly an amazing power.

It's such a pity that the simple gift I prepared for him, which took so much effort, was so easily ruined.

However, from this perspective, it's not necessarily unattainable.

Anyway, go down and talk to him.

The projection carrying Naito suddenly plummeted, dragging him along as he hurtled downwards.

It was at this moment that Imu, the demon who had blasted the fallen island to dust, raised his head.
