Saint Warcury now faced Ace, Katakuri, and King, the three right hand men of the Yonko, each possessing powerful Conqueror's Haki. Fighting all three at once placed even a monster like him under immense pressure.
None of them could defeat Saint Warcury alone, but together, they forced him into a difficult position where even he could not suppress them quickly.
At that moment, Saint Warcury sensed Saturn's death.
His expression darkened instantly.
"Damn it... even Saint Saturn has fallen..."
For hundreds of years, the Five Elders had stood together at the top of the world. Now, one of them was dead.
Saint Warcury already saw the possibility of his own end.
As a Gorosei, escape was impossible.
Their lives belonged to Imu. If he abandoned the battlefield, Imu herself would kill him afterward.
Now, his only hope was for Imu to eliminate Marco as quickly as possible. Only then could the Yonko Alliance collapse.
Looking at the three opponents before him, Saint Warcury's eyes became colder.
After taking the enhancement drugs, Ace, Katakuri, and King had grown even stronger than before. Even Saint Warcury found them troublesome to deal with.
If their Conqueror's Haki had been slightly stronger, enough to completely shatter his immortality, he would have already suffered fatal injuries despite his regenerative abilities.
"It seems your colleague was dealt with by Mr. Kaido," King said coldly.
His mask was already gone, revealing the features of a Lunarian.
Flames burned behind him as he stared directly at Saint Warcury.
"The corrupt rule of the World Government ends today."
"Hmph," Saint Warcury sneered. "A Lunarian experimental subject dares speak so boldly."
"No one can defeat Imu. She is the true ruler of this world."
Even while speaking, Saint Warcury's mind searched for a way to break out of the situation.
"Die, Saint Warcury!" Big Mom roared.
At the same time, Kaido rushed forward like a raging beast.
"Thunder Bagua!"
The kanabo smashed down violently.
Already occupied fighting Ace and the others, Saint Warcury failed to defend himself in time and was struck directly by Kaido's attack.
Boom!
The impact sent his massive body crashing through the ground.
Seeing Kaido arrive, King immediately shouted excitedly, "Mr. Kaido!"
"Worororo!" Kaido laughed fiercely before speaking seriously. "King, go help the others deal with the God's Knights. We finish this fast."
"Yes, Kaido-sama."
King immediately obeyed.
After exchanging glances with Ace and Katakuri, the three of them turned and charged toward the remaining God's Knights.
The moment they left, Kaido and Big Mom attacked Saint Warcury together without hesitation.
"Damn you..." Saint Warcury roared furiously.
But against Kaido and Big Mom working together, even he could not hold the advantage.
Both Yonko ignored their own injuries completely and launched relentless attacks like monsters driven purely by destruction.
Most importantly, Saint Warcury's immortality no longer gave him an advantage.
Both Kaido and Big Mom had already mastered advanced Conqueror's Haki capable of damaging immortal bodies.
In front of their attacks, immortality meant nothing.
Meanwhile, inside Pangaea Castle, the battle between Marco and Imu became even more violent.
Boom!
The roof of Pangea Castle exploded apart.
Imu shot into the sky first, with Marco chasing closely behind her.
At this point, Imu's body was already covered in injuries.
Seeing Marco continue pursuing her without pause, frustration and unease finally appeared in her eyes.
Marco completely ignored her attacks, repeatedly exchanging blows head on, making Imu feel genuinely overwhelmed.
"What an irritating monster..." Imu roared angrily.
Dark energy gathered in her hands as she continuously fired destructive blasts toward Marco.
"Stop running, Imu!" Marco shouted.
His Ki Blades condensed into two massive swords as he swung them repeatedly, slicing apart every incoming attack.
Soon, Imu clasped her hands together in a strange stance near her waist.
Dark energy rapidly condensed between her palms.
Seeing the familiar posture, Marco's expression changed slightly.
"Seriously? Is she about to use a Kamehameha or something?"
For a moment, he almost suspected Imu had come from another world.
The dark energy around the battlefield surged violently.
Countless black streams gathered into Imu's palms, causing the entire sky to darken.
Below them, the remaining Gorosei and the God's Knights looked upward nervously.
Even they could feel the terrifying power gathering within Imu's attack.
Their eyes filled with hope.
They desperately wanted this strike to destroy Marco.
Marco also became serious.
He gathered all of his Haki into his hands.
The Ki Blades became even more solid and terrifying as he charged directly toward Imu.
The energy in Imu's palms continued growing larger.
Then, the moment Marco approached, Imu thrust both hands forward.
"Soul Destroyer!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A terrifying black torrent erupted from her palms.
The dark shockwave illuminated the battlefield with black light, swallowing everything in its path.
Marco was instantly engulfed.
The violent dark energy tore at his body while endless negative emotions attempted to invade his mind.
But in the next second, an overwhelming sword qi erupted from within the darkness.
Slash!
Marco's Ki Blade split the massive energy wave apart completely.
The sword ki continued forward without slowing down and struck Imu directly across the chest.
Blood sprayed through the air.
A deep wound appeared across Imu's demonic body.
"Pfft!"
Imu coughed up blood violently.
For nearly a thousand years, she had stood above the world like a god.
But now, for the first time in centuries, she genuinely felt death approaching.
This fear was even greater than what she experienced when facing Joy Boy eight hundred years ago.
Back then, she had never been this terrified.
But now, she truly feared death.
Without hesitation, Imu ignored her injuries completely and turned to flee.
