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

The island where Ron is located.

"Da da da~~~~"

Amidst the billowing dust, fine sand and gravel continuously fell from mid-air, striking the ground with crisp sounds.

At the end of the smoke and dust, only half of the soldier's body remained. His legs, below the waist, lay forlornly among the rubble. Thick black mist continuously gushed from his wounds, as if suppressed by some force, allowing them to repair and reshape themselves little by little at an extremely slow pace.

Ron stared at the severed body, then glanced at the black mist that was struggling to move. His eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a low voice, "It seems that... in this world, Sage Chakra can suppress Im's immortality just like Conqueror's Haki."

After a pause, Ron had another question: "It's said that seawater and seastone can counter Devil Fruit users... So if I throw her into the sea, will her immortality be restored?"

Driven by immense curiosity, Ron once again used his magic, blasting General Zigong's body down to just half a leg.

Then, he took the half leg and ran towards the shore.

However, they haven't reached the shore yet.

Above the horizon, dark clouds were churning and expanding at a visible speed, as if an invisible hand was painting the entire sky with ink.

Purple lightning tore and surged between the clouds, producing a heavy roar.

Ron paused, his brow furrowing sharply. He had seen this sight before; the last time Im descended, the celestial phenomena were similar.

"Is this... the real body about to descend?" Ron muttered, then quickly threw the long, white leg in his hand to the ground, turned around and used a small tailed beast ball covered in sage chakra to blast the long leg into a cloud of black mist.

Without lingering, he turned to transform into a golden nine-tailed fox demon and leave, but in that instant, he remembered that Lingling was still on the island.

"Oh well, what can I do? I took her Devil Fruit. One has to be honest," Ron muttered to himself before quickly changing direction and speeding towards the town.

At the same time, in the town center.

A massive pentagram magic circle was slowly lighting up in the area where the imposter Ron was located.

Intricate and ancient inscriptions flowed around the outer circle of the magic array, while mysterious numerical symbols were engraved inside the array. A faint glow emanated from the depths of the patterns, like some kind of vein that was awakening.

suddenly.

Purple-black lightning bolts fell from the sky, one after another, striking precisely at the center of the magic array.

Wherever the lightning struck, the surrounding buildings were instantly blasted into fragments, and the flying dust and rubble intertwined to form a hazy gray curtain.

Only the pentagram magic circle remained intact, emitting an eerie light amidst the ruins.

Inside the magic circle, five enormous black shadows coalesced.

They twist, struggle, and stretch, their outlines constantly changing in the dim light, as if searching for their own shape.

Soon, five pairs of scarlet eyes glowed eerily in the dim light, like five pairs of gazes opening from the abyss.

The eerie blue flames spread and danced along the edges of the ruined building, illuminating the surroundings as if they were in purgatory.

"Boom~~~"

With a muffled thud, the five figures completely coalesced into form.

Skeleton Horse.

Sandworm.

A warthog with four tusks.

A snake-like creature with a bird's head, wings, and claws.

And a giant spider.

Black flames swirled around them.

This is precisely the "Beast Form" of the Five Elders' Devil Fruit abilities!

"We've sensed Junzi's location," the Skeleton Horse said in a low voice.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's take this opportunity to completely eliminate this threat." The spider slowly wriggled its long legs.

As the sound faded, they moved simultaneously, and five enormous figures roared out in the same direction.

Ron noticed their appearance immediately; after all, anyone who isn't blind can see something that's that big.

"Five monsters? Could it be... the Five Elders?" Ron muttered, not too concerned. He hadn't transformed into a golden nine-tailed fox demon, so he wouldn't reveal his location for the time being.

However, as he ran, Ron realized something was wrong, so he deliberately went to another place and eventually came to a conclusion.

He's been locked down!!!

"6666~~~" Ron cursed, his lips twitching. "A lock, huh?"

Without hesitation, Ron turned a corner and ran back towards the town.

Soon, amidst the ruins, Ron spotted a familiar figure.

"Lingling!"

Ron shouted.

Lingling was standing under a half-collapsed roof, also searching for Ron. Hearing the shout, she turned around, a smile suddenly spreading across her face: "Ron, you bastard, you ran away..."

Before she could finish saying "Where did they go?", her gaze went past Ron and landed on five enormous figures chasing after him from afar.

Smoke and dust churned beneath their feet, each step causing the ground to tremble slightly.

Her smile froze instantly, then she turned and ran without hesitation, yelling as she ran, "Damn it, what did you attract here?!"

Ron ran alongside her, a slight smile on his face: "Don't be afraid, Lingling, these things can't run as fast as me."

Before the words were finished, an enormous golden nine-tailed fox demon rose from the ground, and then a chakra arm quickly extended out, accurately grabbing Lingling's waist and pulling her inward. The next second, Lingling had been dragged into the space inside the golden nine-tailed fox demon.

"Are you crazy?!" Lingling said irritably, hands on her hips after regaining her balance. "Can't you shake them off first before we regroup?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lingling's expression changed slightly. She looked behind Ron and saw a cloud of black mist silently condensing into shape.

"Hey, Ron, what's that black mist hanging behind you?"

"Black mist?" Ron turned his head suspiciously, and the moment his gaze fell on the black mist, he sensed an extremely strong malice.

He didn't even have time to react.

"boom!"

The black mist suddenly expanded as if it had been detonated, and eerie black tentacles shot out from the mist and plunged into Ron's body.

"Dark to Domination!!"

A voice that did not belong to Ron or Lingling appeared inside the golden nine-tailed fox demon.

Ron felt no discomfort, and the next second, a voice rang in his mind.
