"Shinra Tensei."
"Wood Release: Hōbi Technique."
Luo Chen had no time to use intangibility, nor did he dare to.
Behind him, Susanoo was absorbing the Armament Haki from Shimotsuki Ryuma and the others.
Beside him was Robin.
He had to block this strike.
The repulsive force of Shinra Tensei failed to repel the Sandworm and the huge ice spikes on the hundred or so arrow strips.
However, it slowed down the speed of the three-headed Sandworm and the ice spikes.
Luo Chen was able to execute the defensive move, Wood Release: Hōbi Technique.
A shield with a fang-faced demon visage, hundreds of meters tall, condensed in the void ahead.
Armament Haki wrapped around the shield.
The three-headed Sandworm crashed into it with force.
Instantly, cracks appeared on the wooden shield.
The three-headed Sandworm struck again with all its might.
The wooden shield shattered, and wooden blocks fell into the sea below.
"Sage Art: Gracious Deity Gates!"
Luo Chen shouted inwardly.
From the dome of the sky, ten huge red torii gates descended, smashing toward the Sandworm.
One of the Sandworm's huge heads suddenly separated from its body, crashing directly into the red torii gates above.
The moment that separated head detached, it grew a brand new body.
Five of the ten red torii gates were destroyed by the impact.
The remaining five smashed onto the separated massive body of the Sandworm, suppressing it and causing it to fall into the sea.
Imu possessed the two-headed Sandworm and ignored the independent Sandworm.
Instead, He continued to control the two-headed Sandworm to crash toward Luo Chen.
Beside His sharp, elongated pitch-black head, the magic book emerged.
Giant shotguns and black iron tridents condensed rapidly.
Luo Chen had experienced the power of the shotguns and tridents.
If Imu was allowed to condense them with full force, he wouldn't be able to resist on his own.
Only by merging Susanoo and the Thousand-Armed Kannon statue could he stand on equal footing.
Moreover, that was when Imu had only fused with Saturn and numerous sea beasts.
Now, Imu's state was even more powerful.
He absolutely could not let Him unleash His full offensive power.
Ahead was the crashing two-headed Sandworm.
On the left and right sides were over a hundred arrow strips and huge ice spikes extending from the Sandworm's body.
Slightly higher up, there were numerous shotguns and tridents that Imu was condensing.
Luo Chen made a grasping motion at the two-headed Sandworm with one hand across the void, and slashed out a sword beam with the other.
The gravitational force of Chibaku Tensei suddenly condensed on the massive body of the two-headed Sandworm.
The two-headed Sandworm's figure stagnated.
Imu counterattacked quickly, bursting with Conqueror's Haki to release the gravity on the Sandworm.
At the same time, He summoned the ten newly condensed black iron tridents to collide with Luo Chen's slashing sword beam.
The tridents and the sword beam shattered simultaneously.
"All Things to Swords."
"Shinra Tensei."
"Chibaku Tensei."
Luo Chen used three major moves in an instant.
Supreme sword intent covered the sea below; drops of seawater turned into hundreds of thousands, millions of tiny swords.
The power of each drop might not be very strong.
But such a large number, gathered together, was enough to destroy heaven and earth.
The gravity source of Chibaku Tensei was still the two-headed Sandworm possessed by Imu.
The huge gravity affected the million water drop swords in an instant.
A million water drop swords converged into a sea.
Under the effect of gravity, they accelerated toward the two-headed Sandworm.
Luo Chen further used Shinra Tensei, using repulsive force to accelerate the water drop sword sea once again.
Almost in an instant, the sword sea condensed from a million water drops swept across hundreds of meters, blasting onto the two-headed Sandworm.
No matter how fast Imu's reaction was, there was a delay at this moment.
Especially since He also used Conqueror's Haki to disintegrate the gravity on the Sandworm.
The moment the two-headed Sandworm's body was cut by the first water sword, a low muffled groan came from Imu's pitch-black figure, carrying a sense of pain.
He recalled the severe pain of His soul being severed by Luo Chen, and His mind suddenly tightened.
Imu, along with Shepherd Ju Peter, and the fused Shamrock and Junko, released Armament Haki together.
Resisting the subsequent slashes of the water drop sword sea.
At the same time, in the sky above, the shotguns that were being continuously created stopped generating.
Five or six hundred huge shotguns turned their muzzles, aiming at the sword sea condensed from water drops, and fired simultaneously.
Dense rain of bullets rushed into the interior of the water drop sword sea.
The two major moves collided, and the blast waves stirred the wind and clouds.
Aokiji beside Luo Chen, and Garp and Kizaru who rushed over from the distance, simply couldn't intervene.
All they could do was block the oncoming energy aftershocks.
Luo Chen failed to pursue the victory while Imu was dealing with the water drop sword sea.
He waved his long sword, shattering over a hundred arrow strips and the huge ice spikes sliding on them.
After dealing with the arrow strips, Imu's side also got out of the crisis.
The sword sea condensed from a million water drops was blasted to destruction by the shotguns; the seawater evaporated into mist, enveloping the battlefield.
Inside the thick mist, Luo Chen panted slightly, his gaze looking ahead.
Under the hazy white vapor, the huge black shadow of the two-headed Sandworm was eerie; two beams of scarlet light shot out from the sharp, towering spire-like head.
"You are ultimately a mortal; you will feel fatigue," Imu's cold voice came out.
The multi-ringed pupils at the end of the scarlet light revealed a high-and-mighty look of looking down.
Luo Chen tightened his grip on the sword handle.
Turning a million drops of seawater into swords just now, plus Shinra Tensei and Chibaku Tensei, drained a quarter of his stamina.
Fighting consecutively with the Five Elders, the God's Knights, and Imu earlier, his stamina consumption was already nearly half.
Fighting until now, even with his physique, he felt unusually exhausted.
In the sky, five or six hundred huge shotguns fired.
Imu didn't give him any chance to catch his breath.
Looking at the thousands of bullets covering the sky, ripples appeared in the black pupil of Luo Chen's left eye.
A huge spatial vortex appeared above him, like a black hole, swallowing thousands of bullets.
Imu drove the two-headed Sandworm, crashing directly toward him.
He twisted the over a hundred arrow strips around the Sandworm's body together, gathering them into ten arm-like existences.
Each arm held a huge black iron trident.
Luo Chen rushed out from the back of the wood dragon, simultaneously controlling the wood dragon to carry Robin and Aokiji to flee into the distance.
He couldn't dodge now, nor could he use Kamui intangibility to avoid damage.
Behind him, Susanoo was absorbing the Armament Haki of Shimotsuki Ryuma and the others, preparing for a big move.
If he dodged, Imu would inevitably interrupt Susanoo, causing all previous efforts to be wasted.
The Armament Haki absorbed now was not enough to defeat Imu with 100% certainty.
Luo Chen needed to delay for a while longer.
Above his head, the power of Kamui finished swallowing the bullets and covered the five or six hundred huge shotguns.
The twisted spatial power took away nearly half of the shotguns.
The remaining half of the shotguns were transferred to Imu's side.
Bang bang bang...
Over two hundred shotguns fired simultaneously, shooting more than two thousand bullets out of the barrels.
Luo Chen opened the Kamui dimension again, swallowing the bullets.
Beside the distorted spatial vortex ahead, the two-headed Sandworm rushed over.
Using the tentacles formed by arrow strips, it held ten huge tridents, smashing toward Luo Chen.
Luo Chen erupted with sword intent and Conqueror's Haki, attempting to interfere with the tridents while slashing out sword beams one after another.
Imu was prepared, using Conqueror's Haki to counter his sword intent and Conqueror's Haki.
Ten huge black iron tridents, heavy and powerful, with the force of a thousand jun, shattered many sword beams.
One trident shaft emitted icy coldness, clashing with the long sword in Luo Chen's hand.
With a clang, Luo Chen's arm trembled slightly, falling to a disadvantage in the contest of strength.
The coldness on the trident shaft turned into a layer of thin ice covering the blade.
Seeing the other nine large halberds hacking down, a large number of wood vines spread from behind Luo Chen.
The wood vines condensed, resembling nine arms, holding nine wooden swords, slashing toward the tridents attacking from all around.
Although Wood Release was sturdy, compared to Luo Chen's own physique, it appeared much more fragile.
The wooden swords and wooden arms were shattered by the nine large halberds.
Facing the continuing slash of the large halberds, Luo Chen had no choice but to condense wooden armor and Armament Haki on his body to take the hit hard.
The tridents were controlled by strips created by the Arrow-Arrow Fruit.
Continuing with Kamui intangibility would also be difficult to avoid them.
