One Piece: We already have the Four Gods, so my Six Paths Sage is reasonable, right?

"boom......!"

Just then, a huge five-pointed star magic circle suddenly rose into the air from the stone temple on the mountaintop, with black and red arcs of electricity leaping within the circle's patterns.

Immediately following, a thick, dark red arc of electricity, like a rift tearing through the sky, precisely struck the stone temple from the heavens.

"Bang......!"

The stone temple exploded instantly, sending rubble and dust billowing into the sky.

A figure slowly emerged from the center of the five-pointed star magic circle on the ground.

That person had black, curved horns, the tips of which curved upwards, like a symbol of some ancient demon.

His face was thin and pale, with two faint tear tracks on his cheeks, and his long, silvery-white curly hair was fluffy and flying.

He wore a black and gold retro-patterned robe, with intricate symbols embroidered on the hem, resembling a long-lost script.

A black mist ring floated behind him, its surface covered with countless dark red eyes, each slowly rotating, their gaze seemingly able to penetrate any disguise.

With skull decorations hanging beneath her, she exuded an eerie and cold aura, like a deity who had stepped out of an ancient painting.

Perhaps due to a backlash from the teleportation, his chest trembled violently the moment he landed, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

He slowly wiped away the bloodstains, a wicked smile appearing on his face.

Im slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the ravaged battlefield before him, and said in a completely emotionless voice, "The new David... is this the graveyard you chose?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pair of huge black wings suddenly sprouted from his back. With a flap of his wings, his figure moved like a black lightning bolt, darting towards a certain direction.

-------------------------------------

Meanwhile, on Ron's side...

Seeing that the battle was over, Kaido quickly ran to Ron's side, and the two of them walked together toward the direction where Sengoku had fallen. They planned to see if Sengoku was dead, and if not, to finish him off.

But they hadn't even taken a few steps.

A dark shadow streaked across the sky at incredible speed, followed by a deafening boom as it landed at the spot where Ron had just blasted the blonde woman.

Ron and Kaido turned around abruptly at the same time, their eyes locking onto the figure in front of them.

Im merely glanced at the marks on the ground, his expression unchanged, before slowly turning to face Ron and Kaido.

"Ron..." Kaido lowered his voice, "Another one has arrived."

Ron did not answer; his gaze was fixed on the figure, and his expression became serious.

He had never seen this demon-like figure before, neither in the original story nor in his memories.

Very strong.

Ron made the simplest judgment in his mind.

"Im!" Ron called out tentatively, his voice not loud, but clearly reaching Im's ears.

"Im? Who?" Kaido turned his head curiously. "Your friend?"

Im's gaze was originally as calm as a stagnant pool, but when he heard the word "Im" come out of Ron's mouth, the stagnant pool seemed to have a stone thrown in, and his eyes changed for the first time.

"Who are you?" Im's voice remained calm. "How did you know?"

Grass! ! !

Ron's heart sank.

He originally just wanted to test the waters... to see the other party's reaction, but now, judging from this reaction, it's obvious that this guy who looks like a demon is actually Im himself.

Moreover... this Im is completely different from the image he saw on the screen before.

Damn it, what the hell are you hiding?!

"Shall we go, Ron?" Kaido asked in a low voice from the side. "This time, will we use the Eight Gates, or that big guy?"

Ron did not answer immediately.

"Kaido," he said softly.

"What's wrong? Has the plan changed again?" Kaido pressed.

Before Ron could answer, Im had already slowly walked towards them, the dark red eyes on the black mist ring behind him turning gently with his steps.

"Answer me." Im's voice was even colder than before.

Ron's eyes darted around rapidly, then he suddenly jerked his chin up towards the direction behind Im and shouted, "David... you've finally arrived?!"

Im's gaze sharpened instantly, and he instinctively looked behind him.

It was in that very moment.

"boom......!"

Ron's body suddenly burst forth with golden light, transforming him into a golden nine-tailed fox demon, and then he turned and ran without hesitation.

Im quickly turned his head back, and the expression on his face changed again.

"You know David? You know me?" Im murmured.

Then he spread his wings and suddenly chased after Ron.

Inside the golden nine-tailed fox demon's body, Kaido looked at Ron with a bewildered expression, his voice filled with deep confusion: "What's going on? Weren't we supposed to go up and take him down?"

"Idiot!" Ron cursed. "Anyone can do that?! That guy's the mastermind behind the World Government... You've really gotten me into trouble!"

"The mastermind behind the World Government? Him?" Kaido's face was filled with shock. "Why not exchange a few blows first? What if you could beat him?"

"Go to hell..." Ron couldn't help but curse. "That guy's lived for eight hundred years! You don't even need to think about it, someone who can live that long is a total schemer! We know absolutely nothing about him... What the hell are we doing!"

Kaido was silent for two seconds, then obediently said, "Oh, that's true."

As the golden nine-tailed fox demon ran, Ron suddenly spotted a familiar figure in mid-air: Shiki the Golden Lion!

The guy was slowly floating in mid-air. After hearing the noise, he turned around. His expression froze for a moment, but as the golden nine-tailed fox demon drew in, he quickly saw Ron and Kaido inside the golden nine-tailed fox demon's body.

Then, the Golden Lion grinned and laughed, "Ron? Kaido? Hehehehe..."

After a loud laugh, Golden Lion quickly added, "Hey, Kaido, have you found a god-level Devil Fruit yet?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden nine-tailed fox demon flashed past him.

The golden lion followed the receding golden nine-tailed fox demon with its gaze, and said with dissatisfaction, "Damn it, it's ignoring me."

However, Ron's voice soon drifted over.

"Yes, brother, yes... the god-level fruit is on that guy over there!"

The golden lion was slightly taken aback, and subconsciously turned its head, and indeed saw something that was neither human nor ghost flying over.

"Hehehe..." The Golden Lion suddenly shifted his position, blocking Im's path. "Ron... I, Shiki, will remember your kindness!"

Im didn't even slow down; he roared, "Get out of my way!"

Then he grasped at the void... and a long spear of black mist appeared out of thin air in his hand, its shaft crackling with dark red arcs of electricity.

The Golden Lion suddenly stopped laughing; his Observation Haki had detected an extremely strong danger.

Without any hesitation, he turned around and quickly chased after Ron.

"Hey, Ron!" the Golden Lion shouted, somewhat annoyed. "What's that thing behind us?!"

"call out!"

As soon as the Golden Lion finished speaking, a black mist spear flew out of Im's hand, instantly unleashing a sonic boom that tore through the air, heading straight for the Golden Lion's back.
