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

Two loud shouts followed.

The knife and fist were swung out simultaneously.

Two distinct shockwaves intertwined, swirling and merging in mid-air to form an unprecedented torrent that swept towards Im.

The energy body left a deep trench in the ground as it streaked through the air.

Wherever it passed, the ground cracked, collapsed, and was lifted up, with rubble and soil surging to both sides as if being swept away by an invisible giant hand.

Im's pupils contracted slightly.

But the wicked smile on his lips remained.

He slowly raised the black mist longsword in his hand.

suddenly.

The wind stopped.

Then, it suddenly started blowing again.

"Sizzle~"

A huge arc of dark red electricity suddenly exploded on the blade of the Black Mist Longsword, enveloping the entire sword in a layer of flowing black lightning.

Im then slashed fiercely at the oncoming energy entity.

"Bang!"

A loud bang, like a bomb exploding in my eardrums.

The moment the blade collided with the energy body, a blinding light flashed between heaven and earth.

Immediately afterwards, an extremely terrifying shockwave exploded outward from that point, with ripples spreading outward in layers.

The ground below, where rocks and soil that still retained their shape, scattered like crushed biscuits.

The golden lion, who was pretending to be dead not far away, was blown away by the aftershock. His body tumbled twice in the air before finally regaining his balance in mid-air. He glanced back at the cracking earth and then simply stopped pretending.

"Hehehehe..." The Golden Lion chuckled, his tone conveying a "I'm not joining in this fun" attitude, and said, "You guys have fun yourselves, I'm leaving!"

After saying that, he flew away into the distance without looking back.

After the violent explosion, the earth seemed to return to calm for a moment.

But the ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, like a gray blanket covering all vision.

"Is it working, Rocks, Newgate?" Kaido's voice came from inside the golden nine-tailed fox demon. "That guy isn't dead!"

Whitebeard and Rocks glanced at Kaido out of the corner of their eyes, but neither of them said anything.

Are you kidding me? This guy is "the pinnacle of the world".

If it were that easy to die, then the "Summit of the World" would be far too vulnerable.

In mid-air, amidst the smoke and dust, Im's figure slowly emerged.

Having withstood a combined attack from Whitebeard and Rocks, he was visibly pushed back. He wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth and smiled wickedly again.

But the next second, the wicked smile on his face dimmed slightly.

Because within the mouth of the golden nine-tailed fox demon, an enormous ball of energy had already coalesced.

"call out!!"

With a long roar, the Tailed Beast Ball was launched instantly.

Its trajectory carved a huge chasm into the vast expanse of dust on the ground.

"Heh, it's useless." Im merely sneered, swinging his black mist longsword once more in a fierce attack. "It's all in vain."

"Buzz!"

The sound of swords rang out between heaven and earth.

The moment the black mist sword struck the Tailed Beast Ball, dark red arcs of electricity and the light of the Tailed Beast Ball tore at each other, and then... they exploded with a bang.

A giant mushroom cloud shot into the sky.

The entire island shook violently, and the ground cracked open piece by piece, with surging seawater gushing out from the fissures, then devouring the rest of the land like a greedy maw.

The golden nine-tailed fox demon stood on the slowly sinking ground, swaying with the rise and fall of the ground, like a ship tossed about in a storm.

"Hahahaha!" Rocks brandished his longsword and leaped into the air. "Our turn, Newgate!"

"Let's do our best." The white-bearded man leaped up after him and continued, "If things aren't going well, there's no need to waste time here."

"Hahaha, I'm not stupid!"

The two figures traced two arcs in the air, heading straight for Im. But just as they were about to escape the golden nine-tailed fox demon, two chakra arms extended from the fox demon's body and gently patted their backs.

In an instant, both Rocks and Whitebeard were covered in a light red chakra cloak.

"Um?"

Rocks and Whitebeard were both slightly taken aback.

They could all clearly feel that a power that did not belong to them had appeared within their bodies.

The two subconsciously turned around and glanced in the direction of the golden nine-tailed fox demon.

Then they all laughed.

"What about me? What about me?" Kaido asked anxiously beside Ron.

"What do you mean, 'you'? Are you going to your death?" Ron was speechless. Did you think you were going to deal with Little Karami? You'll see how wrong you are when Imza hits you.

"Whoosh!"

Im's figure instantly rose high and stopped in mid-air.

After taking a Tailed Beast Ball, his condition was clearly very bad. Blood slid down his forehead, and the dark red eyes in the ring of black mist behind him became obviously restless, like an enraged swarm of bees.

He stared at Ron inside the golden nine-tailed fox demon, his gaze changing drastically.

They even felt a slight sense of apprehension.

That didn't come from the power of the Tailed Beast Ball, but from something he couldn't understand.

That power did not belong to Devil Fruits, nor to Haki, nor to any known system in this world.

It was like a fragment embedded from another dimension, making it unpredictable and uncontrollable to him.

"This isn't the power of a Devil Fruit..." Im's voice was low, as if he were talking to himself, then it suddenly rose, almost shouting, "Where do you come from?!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying burst of Conqueror's Haki roared out from his body, and dark red arcs of electricity lashed the surrounding earth like whips, plowing the already shattered ground with scorched marks.

"Whoosh!"

Amidst the towering smoke, Rocks leaped into the air, his longsword crackling with dark red arcs of domineering electricity.

"You seem quite interested in my family's companions?"

After saying that, he suddenly swung his sword, and a fierce shockwave of sword energy roared upwards.

Im glanced down at the approaching sword aura out of the corner of his eye and whispered, "David..."

Im had no intention of taking the hit. He suddenly flashed away, creating ripples in the air as he swept to the side.

however.

Just as Im was dodging, a figure suddenly plummeted from an even higher place.

Whitebeard, wielding a naginata, unleashed a strike imbued with Conqueror's Haki and the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, like a meteor falling from the sky, slashing vertically down towards Im.

Dark red arcs of electricity intertwined with white orbs of light on the blade, emitting a hum that sent shivers down one's spine.

Im's gaze darkened, and the black mist longsword in his hand instantly pointed out. A thick cloud of black mist, as if alive, surged out from the end of the blade, forming a barrier in front of him.

"Bang!"

The white-bearded man's naginata slashed fiercely at the black mist.

The enormous impact crashed down like a landslide, and Im's body suddenly sank, plummeting towards the ground.

"boom!"

The ground was smashed into another deep crater, and dust spread outwards like waves.
