Dragon's face was extremely grim as he stared intently at the demon's shadow.
With the appearance of this shadow, there was a resonance like the friction of countless subtle rules, and even more like the hum of a planet's rotation... as if this demon's shadow represented the origin of the planet beneath his feet!
This seems to be a type of... Hermes: "The power to interpret the planet's rules, truly unexpected."
Could this fellow Imu be the Heavenly Dao of the One Piece World manifested as a spirit?
And the sun god [Nika], who possesses the Drums of Liberation and is naturally able to unite most intelligent races, holds the Authority of [Humanity's Path]?
And the main theme of the One Piece World is the struggle between Heaven and Man?
This really isn't funny.
"Thunder Dragon? What a passionate Little Cutie!"
Imu's expression remained unchanged, her clothes not even slightly ruffled. She licked her sexy red lips and smacked them, as if savoring the taste of that little Thunder Dragon just now.
"The lightning seems to contain some quite peculiar energy. Compared to natural lightning, it seems to have undergone special processing and is even more delicious..."
Does what the demon shadow eats mean Imu has eaten it too?
Dragon felt a rather subtle sensation in his heart.
Why does Imu's aura seem to be getting higher and higher?
Fortunately, he hadn't relied on his surface-level strength to charge straight onto the Red Line earlier.
Otherwise, he might not have been Imu's match.
But now... hmph, the God Slayer's anti-god specialization is nothing to scoff at!
"Gale and Raging Waves!!"
Dragon let out a roar. Storms, torrential rain, and thunder answered his call. This was the Authority symbolizing the trinity of the Wind God, Rain Master, and Thunder Lord, representing the Majesty of the heavens!
Ten thousand Dragons roared in unison, descending from the sky to strangle all rebellious subjects who offended the heavenly Majesty. That terrifying, world-destroying power made the entire Red Line tremble.
This time, Imu finally frowned. The entire Pangaea Castle seemed to be locked down by the three domains of wind, rain, and thunder. This space had been completely 'frozen', leaving not even a shred of room for maneuver.
That peculiar power again?
Inside, there even seems to be a slight conceptual power specifically targeting [Gods]?
However, it doesn't matter.
A dangerous curve tilted at the corner of Imu's mouth. She finally felt a hint of amusement, something that could bring her a slight thrill of [danger].
"Vibration!"
Faintly uttering those two words, the next moment, an all-destroying [Vibration] force attempted to forcibly shatter everything inside Pangaea Castle!
The power of Vibration clashed violently with the Gale and Raging Waves inside this small palace.
Although it didn't manipulate natural forces like the Gale and Raging Waves to become a natural disaster that erased everything, the unadorned power of Vibration in Imu's hands was enough to break all techniques with sheer force, destroying everything with a single strike!
Ten minutes later, both sides temporarily halted their clash.
"This is the power of Whitebeard's Tremor-Tremor Fruit?!"
Dragon's face darkened slightly. The power of Vibration in Whitebeard's hands compared to Imu's hands was a world of difference!
This was truly the power to break all techniques with sheer force!
But that's impossible.
The Tremor-Tremor Fruit was clearly stolen by Blackbeard. Although I specifically struck those great pirates before stepping onto the Red Line, Blackbeard was as slippery as an eel and ran away immediately... Could it be that Blackbeard was killed by Imu?
As if guessing the suspicion in Dragon's heart, Imu, atop her throne, had a faint smile on her face and explained:
"Blackbeard is still alive and well."
"Of course, this power of mine is indeed the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit."
"Blackbeard is still alive? And Imu also possesses the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit?"
Dragon frowned, guessing in his mind: "Is it a Copy Fruit? Or a Projection Fruit? A Manifestation Fruit?"
"Wrong. It's not that I possess the fruits they have, but that they possess my power~"
Imu's voice was as elegant and noble as ever. She looked at Dragon's figure as if looking at her own underperforming child, or perhaps... a patch of green, remarkably growing leeks?
"They... possess your power?"
Dragon's pupils constricted sharply as he murmured in a low voice.
"Indeed."
Imu nodded slightly. Just as her words fell, she suddenly raised her hand.
The moment this action appeared, Dragon's Observation Haki, which had reached the level of predicting the future, instantly [saw] the future scenes from a few seconds later.
Wind had its control seized.
Rain danced joyfully in the air.
Thunder became a well-behaved lightning snake circling that fair hand.
All natural phenomena of heaven and earth seemed to be endowed with will under Imu's volition, and then collectively submitted to this ruler of heaven and earth.
The power symbolizing natural disasters was toyed with at will in Imu's hands, like the most docile of pets.
Seeing this scene, Dragon's eyelids couldn't help but twitch.
Whatever the reason, it meant that Imu, as an individual, possessed power far beyond his imagination.
If it was because of a Devil Fruit.
Even if it was an unimaginable Devil Fruit, such as the hypothetical Moon God Fruit corresponding to the sun god, Dragon wouldn't care.
Because no matter how powerful a Devil Fruit is, it's just a Devil Fruit.
But if the cause of all this wasn't a Devil Fruit... then it would be truly terrible!
Kudou Asuka: "Could it be that Imu's ability is the same type as my Gift?"
Her ability, named [Majesty], possesses the absolute power of compulsion over language, symbolizing the possibility of changing the world through words and belief.
Lumine: "Asuka, you've finally appeared."
Lumine: "How was it? How did your special training with the Halloween Queen go?"
Not at all worried about Dragon being killed by Imu; since this guy had charged onto the Red Line, it meant he was prepared. This small scene shouldn't be enough to make him fail.
However, Imu's strength had indeed exceeded Lumine's expectations.
Kudou Asuka: "...Under Shisho's special training, I almost died several times."
Kudou Asuka: "Shisho truly is the one who trained many great mythological heroes in Celtic Mythology. If one isn't a true mythological hero, they probably really wouldn't be able to withstand this level of training intensity."
Honjou Nia: "Scáthach from mythology?"
Honjou Nia: "This feeling of mythology stepping into reality feels like an itch in my heart. It's truly intriguing."
Lumine: "Shock! Has the missing person finally returned?"
Honjou Nia's sudden appearance made many people's eyes widen.
