With the flapping of black wings on his back, his body instantly transformed into a black Inazuma and soared into the sky.

"Whoa!"

Naito, who was heading towards Imu's location, couldn't help but click his tongue slightly in surprise.

That's an amazing speed!

It's just as good as its own original form.

However, at this speed alone, it would be even faster to control World.

Perhaps World's body can be preserved intact.

A few seconds later, Naito stopped.

Because about a hundred meters ahead of him, Imu had also stopped in the sky.

"The Night King."

The hideous demon stared at Naito, its golden eyes devoid of any emotion.

"It's me."

Naito nodded slightly. "I've been wanting to meet you for a long time, King of the World."

"You seem to know Mu very well."

"It's strange," Imu said. "Even the Great Hammer Pirates only knows a very small part of what Im has to offer."

Who knows?

Naito, of course, wouldn't say that he learned it from reading comics in his past life; he just smiled and said, "Perhaps I dreamed about it?"

"Was it left behind by Joy Boy?"

"I never imagined that the legendary One Piece actually existed, and that Roger actually found it," Imu asked.

"You... are you perhaps a member of Roger Pirates? If so, then you truly deserve to die."

Naito felt like laughing, so he actually did.

It's clear that Imu harbors a lot of resentment towards Roger.

Who knows?

Naito smirked. "Why don't you guess whether I have any connection to the Roger Pirates?"

Are you trying to fool me?

Imu's face remained expressionless. "Then you deserve to die too."

Black flames condensed in his hand into a long-handled sword, the blade twisting like a snake, its tail emitting black flames.

"Etc!"

Just as Imu was about to make his move, Naito raised his hand to stop him, "At least let me finish what I have to say."

Imu lowered the knife he had raised slightly and looked at Naito quietly once more.

Hmm, Imu is actually a kind person.

"I've come to declare war, Imu,"

Naito chuckled and said, "You must have been quite bored staying in Mary Geoise for the past eight hundred years, right?"

"It's alright, I'll be your opponent from now on."

"M's opponent?"

Imu's voice was cold. "Aren't you being a little too arrogant?"

"Is that so? But I feel that you are the arrogant one, Imu. Do you think that I, who have no connection with the world of eight hundred years ago, am not worthy to be your opponent?"

Naito said with great interest, "You should understand, right? If you want to deal with me and Loki, you'll really have to take action yourself."

"But you shouldn't leave Mary Geoise so easily, should you?"

Imu's expression finally showed a hint of surprise, and his lips curled down. "You really know a lot."

You flatter me.

Naito chuckled softly. "So your only option is to have the God's Knights come to us, then carve a teleportation array, and you can teleport here yourself."

"But I won't give you that chance. Your men can't penetrate my territory, let alone find me."

Imu didn't speak, but the downward curve of his lips deepened slightly.

Naito said, "Until we've gathered enough power to overthrow you, or until you've completely exposed us!"

"This will be a protracted standoff, Imu!"

Naito thought for a moment, then said, "If you, who rule the world under the sun, are the King of Day, then I, who spy on this world from the shadows, should be the King of Night."

"Night King, isn't that a wonderful name?"

"You madman, do you even deserve to be called a king?"

Without further hesitation, Imu flapped his black wings and almost instantly closed in on Naito.

However, Naito was faster, and his projection ability combined with the power of the More-More Fruit instantly widened the distance between him and Imu again.

"Don't rush me, I haven't finished yet."

Naito said with great interest, "In any case, let's coexist peacefully before the final war begins."

"Tell your navy and agents to stop making trouble for themselves, or I don't think they'll leave the New World alive."

"Are you threatening me?!"

Almost instantly, the long-handled sword Coating in black flames was already slashing towards Naito's neck.

Wow, that's fast!

Now that I've said my piece, let's play with Imu.

Chapter 221 The Reason for Being King!! The End of the Music

Quick.

It was as fast as Inazuma.

The moment the sharp, snake-like blade pierced through the air, the air itself seemed to be torn apart before it could even react, leaving a sharp, black trail.

But thankfully, Naito was faster.

With projection ability and the More-More Fruit activated at full speed, the speed instantly soared to its limit.

Naito managed to pull back just as the King of the World's longsword was about to fall.

As he dodged Imu's sharp slash, Naito raised his right hand high.

In the instant he clenched his fist, a long sword hilt was drawn out from the empty void.

At the end of the hilt is a massive, invisible blade that shoots straight into the sky, its jet-black color instantly spreading up the blade.

"Cut!"

The More-More Fruit power was unleashed once more, and the speed at which the sword slashed down far exceeded when Imu had swung his sword earlier.

The mere pressure emanating from the sword blade as it swept through the air was enough to cleave a chasm in the void, with white mist piercing the sky.

But.

When!

The greatsword cleaved the sky in two, striking the black flames.

Imu simply raised his left hand calmly, and jet-black flames surged from his palm, coalescing into a wall in front of him that seemed to be chuckling.

Faced with this barrier that possessed its own life, Naito's earth-shattering sword strike was actually blocked.

No, it wasn't just a simple block; the overwhelming power and speed, combined with the reaction force of the collision, caused the greatsword to snap in two the instant it stopped!

"Oh."

Naito couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

Demonic Energy.

It is a powerful yet unfathomable force.

Without expending a large amount of Haki at once, that sword strike was already the strongest attack that could be unleashed while possessing World's body.

From this perspective, it seems unlikely that Imu could be injured from the front.

That's right. In the original work, Loki's all-out attack, even without entering his dragon form, was easily blocked by Imu.

It was only when Imu, suffering from dementia, began to look back on the past that they seized the opportunity to strike him twice.

However, Imu's immortality is of the highest level, so those attacks are completely ineffective.

What a monster!

"Solar Eclipse Critical Strike."

The dark ring behind Imu expanded, its ferocious eyes widening, and countless black flame spheres poured down on Naito like a torrential rain.

Naito gave a slight smirk.

Is it a wave?

Projection ability activated.

Invisible blades materialized out of thin air.

Unlimited Blade Works is said to be...

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

The air was instantly riddled with holes, like a honeycomb, and countless blades shot out.

Boom boom boom boom boom!

The collision between the sword blade and the black mist immediately triggered a series of violent explosions in the sky.

Amidst the raging flames, a dark figure flew forward.

"Sword of Wrath".

Black flames Coating the serpentine blade of the long-handled sword in Imu's hand, directly reshaping its form and elongating it into a long samurai sword.

He swung his sword at Naito.

A red light flashed in Naito's eyes as a vision of the future came into view.

But it was precisely because he saw the future that his expression changed slightly.

As the body shot backward, an invisible projection coalesced into an indestructible barrier.

Boom!

A massive explosion occurred out of nowhere, and a black fireball instantly filled the sky.
