Bang—!
A loud noise shook the sea.
Luo Chen was struck by nine large halberds and plummeted toward the sea surface below, scarlet blood drifting in the air.
Seeing this scene, Robin's heart tightened abruptly, and worry appeared on her face.
Aokiji, Garp, Kizaru, and the others also became slightly tense.
Kizaru elementized his entire body, transforming into a streak of golden light, and rushed toward Luo Chen who was falling into the sea.
Only Luo Chen could contend with Imu.
If Luo Chen fell into the sea and died, Kizaru wouldn't survive either; he would be killed by Imu.
In mid-air, after shooting down Luo Chen, Imu ignored him and rushed straight for the Thousand-Armed Martial God Giant.
He knew that the strike just now failed to kill Luo Chen.
The Thousand-Armed Martial God Giant was still absorbing Armament Haki, proving that Luo Chen was fine.
His goal was not to tangle with Luo Chen.
But to defeat the Martial God Giant.
Luo Chen fell in mid-air, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
The black windbreaker on his body was tattered, and nine deep cuts revealing bone appeared on his arms, back, and chest.
He took a breath, raised his arm, and made a grasping motion at the two-headed Sandworm across the void.
"Chibaku Tensei!"
The maximum gravity of Chibaku Tensei condensed on the two-headed Sandworm.
Imu's movements stiffened in the air for an instant.
Luo Chen immediately activated the Flying Thunder God Mark inside the Susanoo, instantly teleporting to appear in front of it.
Kizaru missed his target, but seeing Luo Chen still able to move on his own, his heart relaxed slightly.
The injuries shouldn't be severe.
...
In the void in front of Susanoo, Luo Chen raised both hands and fully released "Shinra Tensei."
Imu was using Conqueror's Haki to help the two-headed Sandworm release the gravity.
Luo Chen's repulsive force blasted out; He had no time to resist.
The massive body of the two-headed Sandworm was bounced back a hundred meters as if encountering a strong wind.
Luo Chen gave a loud shout and executed "Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence."
Trees towering into the clouds rushed out of the sea, vines and branches dancing wildly, and thousands of leaves fluttering.
He used "All Things to Swords" again.
Turning the branches and leaves of every tree into swords in his hand.
Sword intent rushed to the skies, manipulating thousands of vines and a hundred thousand leaves, turning them into an emerald green ocean, rolling back up toward the sky.
After doing all this, Luo Chen didn't even look back as he flew into the forehead of Susanoo.
The time was about enough.
The entire surface of Susanoo turned into an extremely dull pitch-black color.
Armament Haki filled the massive energy body of over one thousand five hundred meters.
Some cracks were even faintly visible on the pitch-black surface of the Martial God Giant.
This was a sign that the Susanoo body was about to crack due to absorbing too much Armament Haki.
"Although Armament Haki can be absorbed infinitely using Susanoo, there must be a sturdy enough vessel."
Luo Chen had a realization in his heart.
The reanimated powerhouses had infinite Armament Haki.
He could use the [Absorption and Conversion] characteristic of Armament Haki to absorb it and turn it into his own power.
The premise was that his physical body, or the body of Susanoo, could withstand it.
Crackle, crackle...
Ahead, Imu, wrapped in the sky-filling branches, vines, and sword-intent green leaves, destroyed the big trees one by one and rushed out of the siege.
He controlled the two-headed Sandworm to stop a hundred meters away, looking at the pitch-black body of the Martial God Giant, His scarlet pupils contracting slightly.
"Luo Chen, how about a truce?"
Imu suddenly spoke.
He looked directly at Luo Chen in the forehead of the Martial God Giant, His tone devoid of any emotion.
"Imu acknowledges your strength."
"You can share the world with Imu."
Seeming worried that He couldn't persuade Luo Chen, He said indifferently, "What descended here is only Imu's soul."
"Imu can return to the Holy Land with a single thought."
"You cannot kill Imu."
"If we make peace today, Imu can divide the world equally with you."
"With the Red Line as the boundary, half goes to Imu, and half goes to you; from now on, we will not interfere with each other."
Hearing Imu's words, Luo Chen couldn't help but sneer: "What bullshit dream talk is that? Share the world? Do you think I'd believe that?"
Seeing the situation was unfavorable, Imu actually sued for peace.
This was beyond Luo Chen's expectations.
But stopping today would be tantamount to letting the tiger return to the mountain.
He couldn't kill Imu, but Luo Chen was determined to resolve Imu's subordinates, the Five Elders and the God's Knights, today.
Otherwise, giving Imu a chance to breathe, who knew what other means He might have.
After Luo Chen finished mocking, the thousand huge pitch-black arms of the Martial God Giant rushed into the sky, grabbing at Imu.
The absorbed Armament Haki was fully released at this moment.
The boundless black gaseous energy spewed out like smoke, instantly covering this part of the firmament.
Even the sunlight was blocked by the black dome.
Imu's eyes were cold and angry, and He controlled the two-headed Sandworm to turn and flee.
He naturally knew how terrifying this strike was.
Even if He fused with the full power of all His immortal subordinates, He couldn't block it.
Let alone now, when He had only fused with two Elders and two God's Knights.
"Chibaku Tensei."
Behind Him, Luo Chen's flat voice sounded.
Imu was instantly furious; it was that damned gravity again.
Although it couldn't bind Him forever, it could make Him pause for a moment.
In the split second it took to break the gravity, a thousand pitch-black large hands thoroughly surrounded Imu.
Each large hand was releasing pitch-black Armament Haki energy.
These energies were closely connected, rapidly turning into a huge black sphere.
The figures of Imu and the two-headed Sandworm were enveloped by the pitch-black sphere.
Inside the pitch-black sphere.
Imu's eyes were furious to the extreme; He condensed shotguns and tridents one after another.
Countless bullets and tridents bombarded the surrounding Armament Haki sphere, like stones sinking into the sea, causing no ripples.
The bullets and tridents shattered.
The pitch-black barrier formed by Armament Haki was undamaged.
The pitch-black barrier even extended massive fists, blotting out the sky, blasting toward Imu from all directions without any blind spots.
The two-headed Sandworm spewed cold air from its mouth.
But the cold air couldn't stop the giant fists covered in Armament Haki at all.
Hundreds and thousands of huge pitch-black fists, wrapped in the dark red lightning of Conqueror's Haki, smashed onto the two-headed Sandworm and Imu.
The massive body of the two-headed Sandworm was instantly dented with numerous deep pits in the shape of fist prints.
The painful roar of Elder Shepherd Ju Peter rang out.
Imu was also suffering; His soul inhabited the Sandworm's body.
Luo Chen's Conqueror's Haki wrapped around the giant fists; every punch was like a heavy hammer smashing onto the soul body, unbearably painful.
Imu's pitch-black, sharp, elongated figure was blasted into powder, drifting inside the Armament Haki sphere like pieces of black cloth.
From every soul fragment, His low and painful muffled groans could be heard.
After over a hundred punches, Imu thoroughly disintegrated from the Sandworm transformed by Shepherd Ju Peter.
Nusjuro, Shamrock, and Junko also released their fusion, their figures appearing inside the pitch-black sphere.
They gritted their teeth, erupting with power to resist the giant fists bombarding from all around.
However, the power of each punch exceeded their own upper limits.
After stubbornly resisting a hundred punches, the three were completely blasted into debris, their broken limbs drifting in the air.
A pitch-black palm extended from the sphere's barrier, grabbed the remains of the three, and came outside the sphere.
