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

The Whitebeard's attack had barely ended when Rocks, wielding his longsword, appeared high in the air.

"Sizzle~~~"

Dark red arcs of electricity danced wildly on the blade in his hand, and the sword's cry rose from low to high, like a beast growling deep in its throat.

"Buzz buzz buzz~~~"

Rocks swung his sword several times, unleashing a barrage of sword energy that rained down on the spot where Im had just fallen to the ground.

Each sword strike created a deep crater in the ground, with layers of smoke and dust piled up, like ink being splashed onto a gray canvas.

"Rumble~~~"

The explosions continued incessantly.

"call out!"

Amidst the billowing smoke and dust, two black mist arrows pierced through the smoke screen in an instant, like two snakes leaping out of the abyss, shooting straight toward Whitebeard and Rocks in the sky.

Im then emerged from the smoke and dust, following closely behind one of the black mist arrows, its target the white-bearded man.

The white-bearded man's gaze darkened, and he reacted extremely quickly.

He suddenly swung his right hand.

"Snap~~~"

The air barrier shattered again, and dark red arcs of electricity flickered and danced in the cracks.

An invisible shockwave had already rushed towards the black mist arrow, and the two forces were locked in a stalemate in mid-air.

At the same time, Im's figure had already passed the point where the two forces collided, and the black mist longsword was aimed straight at the white-bearded man's face.

Without hesitation, Whitebeard gripped his naginata tightly with both hands and slashed down fiercely.

"Thump!"

The two men's weapons clashed, creating a violent aftershock.

The white-bearded man gritted his teeth, the muscles in his arms bulging as he desperately held onto Im's blade.

On the other side, after suppressing the black mist arrow flying towards him, Rocks did not pause at all. He turned around and suddenly rushed towards Im from the side.

Im glanced to the side and saw that within the ring of black mist behind him, those dark red eyes were throbbing wildly.

He freed one hand from the air, clenched it, and another black mist longsword instantly appeared in his palm. He then immediately used the sword to parry.

"when!"

Rocks's fierce slash slammed into the temporarily formed longsword, the impact causing Im's body to jerk violently.

"Drink~~~!"

Rocks and Whitebeard roared almost simultaneously, both increasing their power output.

Whitebeard's naginata pressed down, while Rocks's blade pushed to the side.

Im's body began to curl up under the double pressure, his arms slightly bent and his back arched.

But Im showed no panic on his face; instead, a sinister smile grew stronger in his eyes, as if everything was under his control.

"The world of Mu is not yet complete... You should be completely erased from history."

As the words fell, a huge black shadow suddenly separated from Im's side.

"What?!" The white-bearded man above and the Rocks on the side frowned at the same time. Neither of them understood what Im was trying to do, but the aura emanating from the shadowy body sent an inexplicable chill down their spines.

"As the price for greater power..." Im's voice continued to drift down: "I will take a portion of your lifespan."

The shadowy entity began to change, extending two jet-black tentacles with needle-like sharp tips.

"In return..." Im's lips slowly curled into a smile, "You two, look at each other with eyes full of hatred!"

"Hey, Rocks!!!" The white-bearded man frowned and quickly warned, "Be careful! Ron seems to be talking about this. Don't get pricked!"

"I remember, Newgate!" Rocks replied in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the two slowly wriggling tentacles.

"Don't bother," Im said with a calm certainty. "It's no use."

"Whoosh!"

"Kakaka~~~"

With a strange sound, the two tentacles suddenly accelerated, like two black arrows shot from the barrel, piercing straight towards Whitebeard and Rocks.

There's no other way.

The white-bearded man said in a deep voice. He instantly withdrew his power, but at the very moment he withdrew, Im's attack backfired, and a powerful impact sent him flying.

The white-bearded man's body tumbled halfway through the air, a trickle of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

The same was true for Rocks.

"Kakaka~~~"

The black tentacles adjusted their direction in mid-air, chasing after Whitebeard and Rocks at an even faster speed.

Right at this moment.

Im's pupils suddenly contracted.

His Observation Haki detected an extremely dangerous aura approaching from below at an illogical speed.

He turned his head sharply, but the golden nine-tailed fox demon was gone.

Instead, a figure enveloped in blue steam, like a blue flame rising from the ground, rushed toward him at an incredible speed.

Im's gaze suddenly focused, and the two black tentacles also stopped in mid-air at the same time.

"I've never seen it before..."

"Daytime Tiger~~~!"

Ron had already leaped to the same height as Im. He clasped his hands together, and the compressed air burst forth from between his palms, transforming into a huge gray-white tiger head. With its jaws wide open, it was like a ferocious beast descending from the void, rushing straight toward Im.

"boom!"

The moment the gray-white tiger head crashed into Im, the huge black shadow that had separated from the side of his body vanished instantly, and the tentacles disintegrated, turning into wisps of black smoke that dissipated into the air.

The day tiger, carrying Im's body like a giant beast carrying its prey, flew backwards with him.

Wherever it passed, it plowed a huge ravine into the ground, and dust surged to both sides like a torrent.

"Rumble~~~"

Finally, Im's figure crashed to the ground, and a column of smoke and dust, stretching as far as the eye could see, shot into the sky.

"Whoosh~~~"

From its original spot, the golden nine-tailed fox demon rose from the ground, and several golden chakra arms quickly extended out, grabbing the fallen Whitebeard and Rocks, before turning around and running away without stopping.

"Hey, Ron! I haven't gotten up there yet." Kaido's voice came from ahead. He was standing on a piece of land that was about to be submerged by the sea, waving his hands as if afraid of being left behind.

The golden nine-tailed fox demon extended another chakra arm and grabbed Kaido.

"Tap tap tap tap~~~"

Before long, the golden nine-tailed fox demon had stepped onto the sea.

Its form grew smaller and smaller, farther and farther away, until it finally transformed into a golden dot of light between the sea and the sky, disappearing into the horizon.

"Splash splash~~~"

On the island, broken rocks kept sliding down, making a crackling sound.

The ground was still trembling slightly, as if it had just experienced the aftershocks of an earthquake.

Im's figure slowly rose from the center of the pit.

"Pfft~~~"

A mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, dripping down his chin onto the scorched ground.

He stood there, head down, staring at the pool of blood, silent for a long time.

"Wow, actually..."
