On the dark brown land of the Pangu Castle ruins, there was a dead silence.
The heavy-armored guards and members of the CP intelligence organization had all disappeared from the world.
Only Imu's massive and pitch-black body remained.
He looked at the destroyed Pangu Castle, cold air overflowing from His body, His aura vibrating violently like a volcano before an eruption.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Imu suddenly let out shrill roars of rage.
He released the anger and humiliation in His heart without reservation.
In a single day, the World Government that had ruled for eight hundred years was completely destroyed!
The Five Elders, the Marines, the God's Knights, Pangu Castle... all destroyed in one fell swoop.
His family fortune of eight hundred years vanished in smoke within a short hour.
In the distance of Pangu Castle, several figures rushed over quickly.
After detecting them, Imu suppressed His emotions, and His massive black shadow body gradually shrank.
He reverted to the sharp, elongated head form of two or three meters in height, still shrouded in darkness, with only a pair of scarlet eyes visible to the outside world.
Leading the group rushing from the distance was an elderly man in a military uniform with tall white hair and a Justice coat draped over his shoulders.
The old man had a robust physique, bronze-colored skin, and muscles that filled out his suit uniform.
He looked at the Pangu Castle that had been razed to the ground with a look of astonishment, then looked at Imu.
Before he could speak, Imu spoke coldly first: "Whitebeard infiltrated the Holy Land; did you, the Commander-in-Chief, not notice at all?"
Kong, who held the title "Steel Bone," changed his expression slightly and glanced at Whitebeard's remains.
He lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "I apologize. Pangu Castle belongs to the core area of Mary Geoise; I did not dare to probe rashly."
Steel Bone Kong had long known of the existence of this mysterious black shadow.
But he dared not speculate on who exactly it was or what identity it held.
He only understood that this person was likely an existence above the Five Elders.
Imu fell silent, glanced at Steel Bone Kong, and didn't pursue it further.
If it were before, He would likely have killed Steel Bone in a rage.
But not now.
Because He had no one left to use.
The Five Elders, the God's Knights, all the Celestial Dragons, and the high-ranking Marines were all gone.
The only one Imu could command was the Commander-in-Chief before Him.
He ordered indifferently: "Send more men to rebuild Pangu Castle."
"Additionally, send a message to the Marine Headquarters and CP agents, ordering them all to retreat to the vicinity of Mary Geoise."
After speaking, Imu didn't pay attention to Steel Bone Kong's reaction.
He waved a stream of black energy, rolling up Whitebeard's corpse, and headed into the distance.
Arriving at the center of the Pangu Castle ruins, Imu waved His arm.
The surface soil scattered, revealing a deep passage leading underground.
He walked into it with Whitebeard's corpse and disappeared.
Steel Bone Kong took a deep breath, took a few surrounding Army soldiers, and walked into the distance.
He had deep doubts in his heart.
As far as he knew, the high levels of the World Government and the Marines went to the Totto Land seas today to besiege Luo Chen.
It was not surprising that Whitebeard took this opportunity to invade Mary Geoise and cause such destruction.
After all, the Marine Admirals and other strong fighters were not there.
But why did this mysterious adult want to assemble the Headquarters Marines and CP organization agents?
This order made Steel Bone Kong feel as if they were preparing for defense.
A shocking thought couldn't help but surface in his mind.
"Could it be that the crusade in Totto Land failed?"
Steel Bone Kong dared not believe his own guess.
The World Government, the Marines, all the strong fighters went out; could it be that they couldn't even kill a single Luo Chen?
He shook his head, casting away the random guesses.
He believed he would know the truth of the matter before long.
All he could do now was execute orders.
After Steel Bone Kong and the others left, the soil slowly turned, revealing a head covered in a helmet.
Douglas Bullet lifted his visor, looking at the passage where Imu disappeared, his face slightly dark.
Whitebeard's corpse was taken away.
If he chased after it, he would probably be exposed.
Bullet contacted Nico Robin via Den Den Mushi.
He reported what happened here.
Not long after, Luo Chen's voice came from the Den Den Mushi:
"Come back first; don't take risks."
Hearing this, Bullet didn't hesitate and burrowed into the soil again.
He used the Combine-Combine Fruit ability to merge with the underground soil, opening up a secret path leading to the outside of Mary Geoise.
When he infiltrated with Whitebeard, Bullet also used the power of the Combine-Combine Fruit.
As long as Imu and Steel Bone Kong weren't bored enough to scan deep underground with Observation Haki, it was impossible to be discovered.
...
Totto Land Seas, Sea-Suppressing Star Hub, on the high platform outside the Heaven Meteor Pavilion.
Luo Chen sat on a temporarily made wooden chair, resting to recover his stamina.
Beside him, Robin wore an elegant and relaxed smile, her beautiful eyes frequently scanning Luo Chen.
Luo Chen winning this great battle today completely put her mind at ease.
The World Government and the Marines could be said to be completely crippled.
Top combat powers were either dead, surrendered, or captured.
It was basically impossible for them to pose a threat anymore.
Garp also kept stealing glances at Luo Chen.
His behavior made Luo Chen quite uncomfortable, and he said helplessly, "You keep looking at me; what is it? For Sengoku?"
Luo Chen could more or less guess Garp's thoughts.
This old man hesitated to speak several times; it wasn't hard to guess why.
Garp let out a long breath and said seriously, "Yes, this old man wants to ask you to resurrect Sengoku."
He looked conflicted, hesitated for a long time, but still said truthfully, "Before Sengoku hanged himself, he told me he regretted it."
"He hated his own choice and regretted his past actions..."
Luo Chen interrupted, "Allowed."
"Hmm?" Garp was stunned, a touch of surprise appearing in his eyes.
Luo Chen smiled and didn't explain anything.
He was naturally willing to use Impure World Reincarnation on Sengoku.
Anyway, after reincarnation, Sengoku would also be under his control.
A subordinate capable in both literary and military affairs was a gain for him.
"Do you have Sengoku's corpse?" Luo Chen asked.
Garp nodded: "Yes, I buried him in his hometown in the South Blue."
After speaking, he turned around ready to leave to retrieve Sengoku's corpse.
Luo Chen stopped Garp and told him to wait a moment.
Returning to the South Blue and rushing back would take at least ten days to half a month.
The time was too long.
He just needed to wait for Kizaru to return and take Garp to the South Blue.
Luo Chen also wanted to see what expression Sengoku would have upon seeing him again.
Garp hesitated for a moment and asked, "This kind of resurrection, besides being under your control, are there any other defects?"
Luo Chen nodded, "His body will be like a stone, unable to feel sensations outside of human emotions."
The temperature and humidity of the air, the warmth of sunlight, physical pain, the deliciousness of food... these were things the people of the Impure World Reincarnation could not possess.
Garp was silent for a long time and finally said nothing.
Luo Chen didn't care what he was thinking and waited quietly.
The first to return were Captain John and Jigoro.
The two used Seastone handcuffs to arrest the personnel who had defected earlier.
Byrnndi World, Catarina Devon, Vasco Shot, and Avalo Pizarro.
The four knelt on the high platform, their faces pale.
Captain John said, "Shiryu of the Rain is missing."
"Island residents reported seeing the Shichibukai Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach."
"This person took away the comatose Shiryu of the Rain."
"He even wanted to take away Byrnndi World, Vasco Shot, and the others."
"After being discovered by the residents, Blackbeard didn't dare to stay long and hurriedly fled the Sea-Suppressing Star Hub."
"He should be afraid of you taking action against him."
