Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 323 The Fall

Boom boom boom!!!

Boom boom boom!!!

On the red earth continent at night, a continuous, earth-shattering roar, like thunder, echoed.

A golden orb, resembling a small sun, hung high in the sky, illuminating the battlefield below.

Two figures, one large and one small, flashed across the uneven ground, moving so fast they were invisible to the naked eye.

"Devil's Claw!"

Bang! ! !

A gigantic demonic claw made of black flames descended from the sky with overwhelming force and the power to suppress all things, slamming down on Wukong below.

Like a highly alert cheetah, Wukong suddenly pushed off with both legs and disappeared from the spot.

The next moment, he appeared on the black demonic claw that had been slapped down, and actually ran along the arm of the claw, arriving in front of Im in an instant, and punching the other party on the head.

Bang! ! !

Im tilted his head back and shot out like an arrow.

But soon, he stopped using the demon wings on his back, and the wounds on his face healed instantly.

With a flap of its wings, it appeared in front of Wukong as if it had teleported instantly, and with a demonic punch, it sent Wukong flying.

After flying a distance, Wukong hugged his legs, did several somersaults in the air, and landed steadily on the ground.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his sharp, hawk-like eyes fixed on Im, a thought flashing through his mind.

After discovering that the black demonic flames that relied on self-defense were useless, Im simply withdrew them and began a direct confrontation with Goku.

It must be said that after absorbing the life energy of the servant who had made a demonic pact with him and pushing his own power to its limit, Im's strength was truly formidable.

If Goku hadn't gained some power for some unknown reason after transforming back into human form, he would probably have been at a disadvantage in the battle against his opponent.

But now, he is subtly gaining the upper hand by relying on his slightly stronger strength.

This should have been a positive development.

Goku did indeed use this advantage to injure Im multiple times.

But it didn't work.

Im, who possesses an immortal body, is even more powerful than an unkillable cockroach. Minor injuries have no effect on him at all. In just a moment, the injuries that Goku left him can be completely healed.

In other words, Goku wasting his energy attacking his opponent was just a waste of effort.

The battle has lasted for about twenty minutes since it began.

Although the time may not seem particularly long, it's important to know that neither of them are ordinary people. They can exchange multiple blows in just one second, making the intensity of the battle extremely high.

Even though Goku has excellent stamina, he started to feel a bit tired after such an intense battle.

It's about time; we should take care of this guy.

Wukong calmed his breathing and made a decision in his heart.

If he wants to eliminate his opponent in one fell swoop, then the only way he can do so is by using the Kamehameha wave.

The reason he hadn't used this move before was because he was observing his opponent's fighting habits to ensure that his ultimate move would land successfully on the opponent instead of being dodged.

Now that he has observed the situation sufficiently, and his remaining stamina does not allow him to continue wasting it, he must use this move to end the battle.

"A solar eclipse strike!"

shhhhhh! ! !

Just as the thought flashed through his mind, Im launched an attack on him, sending a barrage of demonic energy projectiles flying towards him, as if to blast him into pieces.

Although Wukong was pondering something, ninety-nine percent of his attention was on Im.

When Im launched his attack, he reacted immediately, his figure flashing and disappearing from the spot, causing the demonic energy projectiles to miss their mark.

But Im's attack won't be that simple.

As he dodged the demonic energy cannonballs and appeared on the other side, an arrow formed from black demonic flames pierced through the air, fast as lightning, and shot precisely towards Wukong's forehead with a shrill sound that tore through the air!

At that moment, Wukong's hair stood on end, and a dangerous alarm bell rang wildly in his heart as if it had gone mad.

Without thinking, his head naturally tilted to one side, and the arrow whistled past his cheek, disappearing into the distance and the night in the blink of an eye.

A narrow gash suddenly split open on Wukong's cheek, and a few drops of blood slowly flowed down.

Wukong raised his hand to wipe it, not paying much attention, his gaze fixed on Im.

Next, it will be his time to take down the opponent in one fell swoop!

At this moment, Nami, watching from afar, had sweaty palms, her lips tightly pressed together, and her worry was evident.

Ace, Whitebeard, and the others looked grave, understanding that if the stalemate continued like this, Goku would only become more and more disadvantaged.

Kizaru appeared expressionless, but his eyes betrayed his anxiety and worry.

The golden orb in the sky was created by him to prevent Wukong from losing his sight in the dark night, and to make it easier for those watching the battle to observe the changes on the battlefield.

Whoosh!!

On the battlefield, Wukong suddenly vanished from his spot in an instant.

The next moment, he appeared in another position and kicked out, a blue slash wave exuding a sharp power cut through the air and shot towards Im with lightning speed.

Im's eyes narrowed as he recognized it as the Tempest Kick from the Six Styles, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.

Do you think you can hurt him with such a simple move?

With a gentle flap of his demon wings, he vanished from his spot, easily dodging Wukong's Tempest Kick.

But just as he dodged the sudden kick, he caught a glimpse of two streaks of blue light shooting toward him out of the corner of his eye.

Hmph! Do you really think he's afraid of this kind of move?

Im snorted coldly in his heart, and the demonic flames in his hand quickly transformed into a longsword.

Then he swung his sword to the left and right, and two sharp sword beams shot out, blocking the incoming blue slash wave in mid-air. The two energies collided fiercely and then dissipated.

At this moment, Wukong had already approached to within two meters of him. He clapped his hands in front of him, and his thick black hair shot out, firmly grabbing Im's two feet before Im could react.

It turns out that the previous Tempest Kick was just a feint. Goku's real purpose was to attract Im's attention, take the opportunity to get close to him, and use the Life Return Technique to capture him.

"Hehe, got you." Wukong grinned.

Im's pupils contracted slightly, but he wasn't too worried, because even if Goku caught him, what could he do?

The next second, Wukong gave the answer.

Under Goku's control, the hair that was wrapped around Im seemed to come alive, and it suddenly started swinging Im around.

After spinning around in the air several times, with a loud thud, Im was slammed to the ground, swallowing a lot of dirt.

"Damn it!"

Anger flashed in Im's eyes, and he tried to break free.

But before he could break free, the hair wrapped around his legs exerted a tremendous force again, pulling him up and swinging him around in the air several times before slamming him heavily to the ground once more.

Snapped! ! !

Snapped! ! !

Snapped! ! !

Like smashing a snake, Wukong smashed Im several times in a short period of time. Even with Im's strong physique, he couldn't help but feel dizzy from the impact.

After slamming Im to the ground one last time, Goku pulled his hair back, unleashed a powerful kick, and Im, lying face down on the ground, felt a sharp pain in his back as one of his demonic wings, which allowed him to move nimbly, was severed.

Before Im could even realize what was happening, Goku had already rushed forward, grabbed Im's ankles with both hands, and with a burst of all his strength, flung Im violently into the air.

The next second, he mustered all his strength and gathered a vast amount of energy radiating blue light at his waist with both hands.

"Kamehameha!!!!"

boom!!!!

The radiant blue orb trailed a beautiful meteor tail in the air before striking Im with lightning speed and precision.

A massive explosion suddenly occurred in the sky, sending thick black smoke billowing into the air.

Under Wukong's unwavering gaze, a charred body, clearly only half intact, fell from the sky, trailing a plume of black smoke, and crashed to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.

Seeing this, Wukong breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed completely, and smiled.

"Hehe, looks like I've successfully defeated him."

He wiped the sweat from his face, turned around, and was about to wave to Nami and the others.

But before he could wave, he froze, because Nami, Ace, and the others in the distance were shouting at him: "Goku!!! That guy isn't dead yet!!!"

He's not dead yet?

Wukong blinked, momentarily confused.

He was unaware that Satan and Vochuli had been turned into a bloody mist by him when he was transformed into a giant ape, because he was unconscious at the time.

So after Satan and Vochuli returned to normal and spoke of immortality, he wasn't quite sure just how powerful this so-called immortality really was.

In his view, Im, who was blasted to death by his Kamehameha wave and left with only half a body, must be dead.

However, trusting his partner, he was prepared to turn around immediately.

But at that very moment, whoosh—!

An arrow, swift as lightning, pierced through the air. Wukong's expression changed, and he quickly made a move to dodge.

However, because the Kamehameha wave had exhausted most of his energy and he was in a semi-relaxed state, even though he dodged at top speed, he still couldn't completely avoid it. The arrow pierced straight through his right shoulder, leaving a bloody hole!

A sharp pain shot through him instantly, and Wukong couldn't help but groan, his brows furrowing.

But he paid no attention to his injuries, his eyes fixed on the dust that was gradually dissipating in the distance.

Amidst the dust and smoke, only Im, with his lower body remaining, stood on the ground, holding a bow and arrow made of demonic flames in his hand.

He looked quite disheveled, with half of his body missing and the only remaining demon wing on his back drooping to the side. He was covered in dust and wounds.

Strangely, however, no blood flowed from the severed part of his body, which should have been bleeding profusely, as if there were no wounds there at all.

"You're actually still alive?!"

Wukong watched this scene in shock, feeling as if his worldview had been completely reshaped.

"Heh, I am immortal." Im looked at him and sneered.

At that moment, a golden flash and a blue flash streaked across the night sky, arriving on the battlefield almost simultaneously.

"Laser beam."

Kizaru appeared above Im, making a circle with his hands, and a large number of light particles instantly emerged from it.

The next second, a powerful golden beam of light fell from his hand and shot straight toward Im.

The blue flash was Nami. Although she was very worried about Goku's injuries and couldn't wait to check on him, she suppressed the urge and gathered her power, unleashing a lightning beam that crackled with sparks towards Im.

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot. Im is currently injured and weak, and his body has not yet recovered, making it the best time for them to kill him.

So the fastest of them arrived immediately and launched a fierce attack on Im.

boom!!!!

The laser beams and lightning beams struck the ground, creating a massive explosion. An invisible shockwave erupted, sweeping outwards with overwhelming force.

Im, who was hit by the blast, was enveloped in black smoke and dust and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Because of the energy disturbance caused by the explosion, everyone's Observation Haki was unable to penetrate inside, so they were unable to observe the situation inside using Observation Haki.

Kizaru hovered in mid-air, looking down with a serious expression. Nami went to Goku's side and asked anxiously, "Goku, are you alright?"

Wukong clutched his shoulder and shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that one of my hands is temporarily immobile."

He frowned as he looked at the rising dust, and said incredulously, "That guy only has half a body left, yet he's still alive."

"He is immortal," Nami said solemnly.

"Have you forgotten? You blasted two of the Five Elders to pieces before, yet they both managed to recover. This terrifying ability to survive seems to be a gift from Im, so Im also possesses this ability."

"I killed two of the Five Elders? I don't remember doing that," Wukong asked in confusion.

"You don't remember?" Nami was taken aback by Goku's answer.

Seeing Wukong's bewildered face, her expression changed, as if she had figured something out.

"Damn it! I thought that once you regained your consciousness, you would remember what you did before, but I didn't expect you still wouldn't remember that part of the memory. It's my fault. If I had thought of this earlier and reminded you of Im's immortality, you wouldn't have been ambushed by him just now." Nami seemed very remorseful.

Goku finally understood what had happened, but he didn't blame Nami. Instead, he said seriously, "It's okay, Nami, it's not your fault. I was just careless."

He was indeed too careless just now. He assumed that Im was dead just because he saw his body in that state, without carefully sensing whether Im was truly without any breath left.

Whoosh—!

A blue-green figure flew over and landed beside Wukong; it was Marco.

After his opponent mysteriously disappeared, he rushed here and watched the battle between Goku and Im with Whitebeard and the others.

Upon seeing the still-bleeding wound on Wukong's shoulder, he aimed his palm at the wound, and a vibrant, immortal flame surged forth.

"I can only help you stop the bleeding, Wukong. You won't be able to move this arm for the time being."

After withdrawing the flame of immortality from Goku's wound, Marco said solemnly.

Wukong looked down at the wound, which had stopped bleeding, and said with a smile, "It's alright, it's good that the bleeding has stopped."

Marco nodded, then turned to look at the lingering dust: "Is that guy dead this time?"

Nami and Kizaru's two attacks were incredibly powerful; if he had been hit without warning, he would have been seriously injured.

What would happen if Im were hit while he was only half a body?

Wukong took a deep breath and carefully sensed the situation within the smoke and dust.

Whitebeard, Ace, Garp, Vista, and others, who were a little slower, also arrived one after another, looking at the smoke and dust with solemn expressions.

Suddenly, Wukong finally sensed the situation inside the smoke and dust, and his expression changed drastically.

"That guy is still alive!"

Wow!!!

Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.

"Let's attack together!!"

Garp and Whitebeard shouted almost simultaneously.

"Infinite Fist Bone!"

"Breaking through the air!"

Garp leaped forward, gathering all his strength in his fist and slamming it forward, his Navy Justice Cloak fluttering behind him.

With a knife in his left hand and a fist in his right, the white-bearded man slammed his fist into the dust and smoke. The invisible, vibrating fist, amplified by the power of Conqueror's Haki, was even more destructive.

Ace, Vista, Marco, Bramanck, and other captains of the Whitebeard Pirates followed closely behind, each unleashing a powerful attack they could deliver at top speed.

"Fire Fist!!"

"Rapid Slash!!"

"Phoenix Seal!!"

"Super Hammer!!"

"Yata no Magatama".

Kizaru's eyes flashed, and he crossed his arms in front of him, unleashing a barrage of dazzling light bullets like meteors falling from the sky.

"Two hundred million volts, Thunder Sword!"

Nami gritted her teeth, gathering her power at all costs, and the thunder sword, radiating a majestic heavenly might, shot out and instantly disappeared into the dust.

At that moment, all sorts of attacks bombarded the smoke and dust, and colorful lights streaked across the night sky, weaving together an exceptionally beautiful scene.

The next second, as all the attacks crashed into the dust and smoke, the entire world seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, as if a nuclear bomb had suddenly exploded, a deafening roar reached everyone's ears.

boom!!!!!!

A mushroom cloud shot into the sky, space shattered like a spider web, the ground trembled violently, and a violent shockwave burst forth from the center of the explosion with overwhelming force, sweeping out over a thousand meters in an instant.

Everyone was thrown back by the powerful shockwave, their feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.

Countless pebbles flew everywhere like bullets, making a crackling sound.

"This should kill him completely."

Nami was blown dozens of meters away by the air currents. After she finally came to a stop, she half-opened her eyes, which were hidden behind her arms, and stared intently at the explosion site, muttering to herself.

Not only her, but everyone else also had this thought in their minds.

This attack combined the power of more than a dozen strong individuals. Although their coordination was not particularly smooth and some attacks might have affected others, the power it generated was absolutely not to be underestimated.

It is safe to say that any of the Four Emperors would suffer extremely serious damage if they faced this attack directly.

Wukong was also keeping a close eye on the smoke and dust kicked up by the explosion.

Unlike others who thought they should be able to take down Im this time, he had a vague feeling that this attack might not be able to completely kill him.

He carefully sensed the situation inside the smoke and dust, but because the explosion caused extremely intense energy disturbances, he couldn't immediately perceive the specific situation inside.

Did they actually kill Im?

Ace, Nami, and the others couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, staring intently at the smoke and dust with trepidation.

Even if that monster is powerful, it couldn't withstand the fierce attack of so many people with only half a body left.

Time passed little by little, and the dust gradually dissipated.

Suddenly, Wukong seemed to sense something, and he abruptly looked up, his eyes shooting straight into the air like lightning.

As the last wisp of dust in the air completely dissipated, a black figure came into his view.

"He's there! He's not dead!!"

Wukong pointed his finger instantly, and a crisp sound resounded in everyone's ears.

Those who heard his voice changed their expressions, looked up abruptly, and then their pupils shrank.

"How is this possible?! He's actually alright?!"

Ace couldn't help but gasp, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Others also gasped in surprise, expressing their shock.

In their eyes, Im's figure appeared in mid-air.

Compared to the time when he was blasted to a pulp by Goku's Kamehameha, leaving him with only half a body, Im has now recovered. His lower body has grown back, and his demon wings have unfurled in the wind. Apart from a slight decrease in his aura, he is almost exactly the same as before!

"This is the first time in so many years that I have suffered such an injury. You all did a great job."

Im looked down at the crowd, and although he was praising them, his cold tone made it impossible for anyone to feel that he was complimenting them.

The combined attack from Whitebeard, Garp, and others did indeed worsen his injuries, something that had never happened since he defeated Joy Boy.

Even if he were immortal, recovering from such an injury would require a significant amount of his strength.

"It really is an unkillable cockroach."

Although Garp's tone was sarcastic, his expression was very serious, clearly indicating that he was feeling unprecedented pressure.

"Everyone, although the attack just now didn't kill him, his momentum has clearly weakened compared to before. As long as we continue to inflict that level of injury on him, he will definitely be killed by us," the white-bearded man calmly analyzed.

"That's right! If once doesn't work, try again. I refuse to believe that this immortality is really that heaven-defying, that no one can kill it!" Nami said through gritted teeth after her initial shock.

Just then, Goku's expression changed, and he suddenly shouted, "Ace! Get out of the way!"

Swish! !

Just as he shouted, Im's figure appeared in front of Ace like a ghost, and his black demonic fist silently slammed towards Ace.

Ace's pupils contracted, and without thinking, he instinctively raised his hands to shield himself.

The next moment, the demonic fist slammed into his hands, the powerful force slamming his hands into his chest, and he was sent flying.

"Do you really think you ants can do anything to Mu?" Im sneered, his figure flashed again, appearing in front of Jingudo, and sent him flying with a punch as well.

Bang! ! !

Just as he blasted Kingdo away and was about to repeat the same action in front of the third person, Goku finally arrived, his left fist colliding fiercely with Im's demonic fist.

"Hmph, without your right hand, how could you still be a match for me?"

Seeing Goku blocking his way, Im sneered and swung his other fist, instantly sending Goku flying.

Although his strength has weakened somewhat, he undoubtedly has the advantage over Goku, who has exhausted most of his energy and lost the ability to move his right hand.

Whoosh—!

As he sent Goku flying, Kizaru suddenly appeared behind him and delivered a lightning-fast kick to his head.

The timing of this attack was excellent; even Im couldn't react in time.

Just as the kick was about to land on Im, a ball of black demonic flame suddenly appeared where Kizaru's attack was about to land, blocking his light-speed kick.

"What?!" Kizaru's pupils shrank, seemingly not expecting this to happen.

Im, after a slight jolt, unleashed a spinning kick that swept behind him, sending Kizaru, who couldn't dodge in time, flying.

"Fist Bone Impact!!"

At that moment, Garp's attack finally arrived. His iron fist, wreathed in Conqueror's Haki, slammed into Im, sending him flying even with the help of the demonic flames.

Immediately afterwards, Whitebeard swiftly raised his sword and slashed at Im just as Im was being sent flying backward.

In an instant, space shattered, and an invisible force of vibration reached Im, blasting him in another direction.

Im, who had been blasted away by the two powerful figures, suddenly stopped after flying a distance. A little blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, indicating that he was injured, but he recovered in an instant.

"Hahahaha! Let me enjoy your last struggle!"

Instead of being annoyed by his brief defeat, Im burst into laughter, his aura exploding with power.

The next moment, he instantly appeared behind Vista, who was swinging his sword at him. He slammed a demonic claw into Vista's back, leaving several bloody claw marks and sending him flying.

Immediately afterward, Marco's imposing phoenix seal hurtled towards him at lightning speed. Without even glancing at it, Marco's demonic claws, shrouded in black demonic flames, reached out and seized the sharp bird claws that were attacking him.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he flung Marco toward Whitebeard, forcing Whitebeard, who was swinging his sword, to halt his attack. Whitebeard was then struck in the arms by the flying Marco, and the two of them were sent flying backward.

"Fist Bone Impact!!"

Garp's attack came once again.

This time, Im did not passively defend, but instead clenched his fist to meet the attack, and the two fists collided instantly, creating an amazing shockwave!

As if the hidden injury he had sustained from Im had flared up, Garp groaned and a little blood spilled from the corner of his mouth during the fierce clash with Im's fist.

Im naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity; his demon tail shot out suddenly, instantly piercing Garp's abdomen!

At this critical moment, a huge, golden figure suddenly approached, and a giant golden fist slammed down on Im.

"Buddha Fist!!"

The newcomer was none other than the Warring States, who had remained silent until now.

Im's eyes flickered, and he vanished from his spot in an instant, dodging Sengoku's punch.

Sengoku didn't continue the pursuit. He stopped beside Garp and asked in a low voice, "Are you alright, Garp?"

Garp, seemingly unconcerned about his wounds, grinned at Sengoku: "Sengoku, you've finally made your decision."

""

He was pleased to see Sengoku make this decision, because it meant that he and Sengoku would not become enemies, but would remain comrades on the same front.

"Hmph, this time I'm going all out. If I fail, I think you understand what the consequences will be."

"We will definitely succeed," Garp said firmly, his smile fading.

"Faster, faster!"

On the other side, Nami did not choose to attack Im, but stayed in a corner, trying to break the clouds in the sky so that the moon could reappear and give Goku a chance to transform.

But when her attack landed on the dark clouds, it seemed to sink into some kind of abyss that devoured people. It didn't even cause the dark clouds to change, let alone dissipate.

Although she didn't understand what was going on, she knew it must be Im's doing, so she reluctantly gave up the idea and chose to control the electric ions in the dark clouds, trying to condense a huge force of lightning.

This time, she succeeded.

However, she was seriously injured, and the various attacks she had previously launched had consumed a lot of her strength, so her speed of gathering power was much slower than before.

Seeing her comrades suffer defeat after defeat, she was extremely anxious.

Meanwhile, Im, who had flashed to the other side, was approached by Kizaru again.

The two exchanged several blows in a flash, ultimately resulting in Kizaru coughing up blood and flying backward.

Just as Im was about to continue searching for his next target, a low shout suddenly entered his ears: "Kamehameha!!!"

The moment the sound reached his ears, Im's expression changed drastically, and he immediately gathered a large amount of demonic flames in front of him.

The next second, a blue ball of light, trailing a meteor tail, slammed into the demonic flames.

boom!!!

Thick black smoke billowed up instantly, Wukong's chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath.

That last strike had exhausted all his strength.

But he couldn't not fire, because if this continued, others would be severely injured or even killed by Im, something he absolutely didn't want to see.

The thick smoke quickly dissipated, and the demonic flames in front of Im almost completely disappeared, but he himself was unharmed.

Im seemed somewhat surprised, but he quickly recovered, looked at Goku, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"It seems your power has been completely exhausted. I thought you could unleash the same kind of attack as before."

To be honest, although Goku's Kamehameha couldn't kill him, it left him with a huge trauma. He almost thought he was going to be blown to bits again.

"Huff! Huff! Damn it, I've used up all my power." Wukong was panting heavily, and fatigue washed over him like a tidal wave.

If he hadn't used up the energy he stored in his life force when fighting against the Black Domination, he would still have plenty of stamina left.

Now, after unleashing two powerful Kamehameha waves in succession, he truly has no strength left.

"You are the biggest variable, so let's deal with you first."

A murderous glint flashed in Im's eyes. As soon as he finished speaking, he moved swiftly, covering dozens of meters in the blink of an eye to arrive in front of Wukong.

A demonic fist slammed into Wukong.

In the past, Wukong would have definitely chosen to engage in a direct confrontation.

But now, exhausted, Goku couldn't do that and could only subconsciously cross his arms in front of him.

The next second, he was sent flying by the astonishing force of the fist.

Im flapped his demonic wings and caught up even faster, conjuring a sword of demonic flame that exuded a chilling aura in his hand, and thrust it straight at Wukong's chest with lightning speed.

This is his real killer move!

"not good!!"

Nami, who was gathering lightning power, saw this scene and her pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints, but it was too late to rush to the rescue.

Kizaru clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground, his expression suddenly changing, but due to his physical condition, he was also too late to rush to the rescue.

"Stop it right now!!"

At this moment, Whitebeard was more than a hundred meters away from Goku and Im. At his speed, he couldn't catch up in time. He could only swing his sword at Im with all his might, trying to force Im to leave.

However, his swinging speed was clearly not as fast as Im's sword speed at this moment. By the time his shockwave shot towards Im, it was already enough for Im to pierce Goku's chest with his sword and then leave.

Several captains of the Whitebeard Pirates were not far from Goku at this time, but with their strength, they were too weak to react to what was happening, let alone help Goku.

Wukong stared wide-eyed as he watched Im's sword pierce his chest, but he no longer had the strength to stop it.

At that moment, a burly figure suddenly cut in from the side, separating Wukong from the Demon Flame Sword.

*Pfft!*

A sound of flesh being pierced suddenly rang out.

Wukong's pupils contracted as he watched a blood-stained sword tip burst from the back of the person in front of him, with several drops of glistening blood falling before his eyes.

After flying a distance through the air, he landed on the ground, staring blankly at the figure that had also landed in front of him.

Whoosh!

Im retrieved the Demon Flame Sword and then retreated a distance, avoiding the slash that Whitebeard had fired.

Wukong opened his mouth, looked at the familiar figure in front of him with a bloody hole pierced through his back, and finally couldn't help but shout out.

"Grandpa Garp!!!!"

That's right, it was Garp who blocked Im's deadly attack for him.

As Im charged toward Goku, Garp was approaching them. When he saw that Goku was about to die under Im's sword, he didn't hesitate to stand in front of Goku and block the fatal blow for him.

Upon hearing Goku's shout, Garp turned around and revealed the same hearty smile he had shown when he first met Goku.

"Wukong, are you alright?"

Goku opened his mouth, his eyes fixed on the bloody hole in Garp's back.

He understood the consequences of this place being penetrated.

That's why his mind was completely blank at that moment, and he had no idea what to do.

Garp coughed up a mouthful of blood without warning, his upright figure suddenly slumped, and the blood seeping from his back stained the word "Justice" on his cloak a dark red.

He not only had a bloody hole in his heart, but also a bloody hole in his abdomen that was still bleeding, but he seemed not to care about these things at all. He knelt on the ground and still looked at Wukong with a smile.

"Wukong, go for it! I believe you can defeat this evil guy. You're the one I chose." His tone was full of confidence and hope for Wukong.

After saying that, he seemed to be unable to hold on any longer, and collapsed to the ground, his white naval uniform stained with blood.

Goku finally came to his senses and rushed to Garp, saying helplessly, "Grandpa Garp, you'll be alright, you'll be alright."

Garp smiled slightly, and his aura quickly disappeared: "Don't be sad, Goku, my life should have ended long ago."

Before his eyes flashed a series of past events: the passion and excitement of capturing pirates, the joy and happiness of gaining friendship and family, and the frustration and annoyance of enduring the darkness of the World Government.

Reflecting on his life, he realized how many sins he had deliberately ignored, and couldn't help but sigh, "I am not worthy of being called a naval hero at all."

After saying this, he closed his eyes and died.

Wukong stared blankly at this scene, tears falling silently down his face.

Grandpa Garp is dead?

Not far away, Zhan Guo's pupils shrank to pinpoints, and he stood frozen in place like a statue, seemingly unable to believe that his colleague and friend, who had been with him for almost his entire life, had died.

Kizaru's facial muscles twitched incessantly. This guy, who always seemed extremely indifferent to everything, couldn't help but shed a tear from his eye behind the mirror.

The white-bearded man's expression was complex; had another elder from his generation passed away?

Ace, who had been severely injured by Im, sat on the ground in a daze, tears streaming down his face, murmuring repeatedly, "Old man, how did you die? How could you just die like this?"

Nami covered her mouth, her face filled with sorrow: "How could this be? How could this be..."

"Everyone is shocked and saddened by Garp's passing at this moment."

Except for one person.

That's Im.

Seeing this, Im sneered: "Hmph, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. Since you've overestimated yourself and come here, then go die first. Anyway, the others will be with you soon."

Seemingly startled by Im's voice, Goku's dazed eyes instantly focused back.

Looking at Garp's tightly closed eyes, he clenched his fists, veins bulging, his heart filled with grief and anger.

“iiiiiii, boom!!!!

He suddenly roared to the sky, and a powerful wave of energy burst forth from his body.

White flames shot into the sky, and an incredibly powerful aura spread out, making everyone's hearts feel like they were being squeezed, and they could hardly breathe.

During his roar, Wukong's hair flashed golden for a few moments, and the burst of energy caused the ground beneath his feet to collapse layer by layer.

However, ultimately, perhaps due to insufficient power, this golden hue could not be maintained completely.

Wukong suddenly turned around, staring intently at Im, his pupils burning with raging anger.

"You dared to kill Grandpa Garp! I will never forgive you!!"

Im's pupils shrank sharply. At that moment, he felt an unprecedented terror emanating from Goku.

Before he could react, Wukong appeared in front of him in an instant, waving his still-mobile left hand, and his fists rained down on him like a storm.

Bang bang bang!!

Bang bang bang!!

In a mere second, Im suffered countless heavy blows, his chest cavity caved in completely, many bones were broken, and his internal organs suffered unprecedented damage.

Wukong's imposing aura surged, his pupils burning with fury. After striking Im countless times, he suddenly delivered a powerful uppercut to Im's chin, sending Im flying into the air in an instant.

Damn it, I can't move my body.

As he flew into the sky, Im tried to control his body, only to find that his body was stiffened by Goku's earlier attack and he could not move.

At the same time, after sending Im flying into the sky, Goku placed one hand on his waist, and an energy far more abundant and vast than before was instantly condensed.

"Kamehameha!!!!!"

boom!!!!!!

A Kamehameha wave, far more powerful than ever before, was suddenly launched, slamming into Im in mid-air with the speed of thunder.

Im naturally saw the energy wave flying from below, his pupils shrinking to pinpoints as an extremely intense sense of impending death surged into his heart.

However, due to numerous broken bones and severe damage to his internal organs, his immortality had not yet allowed him to recover from these injuries, leaving him completely unable to move and only able to watch helplessly as the energy wave grew brighter and brighter before his eyes.

boom!!!!!!

A deafening explosion suddenly occurred in the air, unleashing a violent gust of wind that howled through the sky, sending sand and stones flying everywhere.

Im's head stretched out in the burst of terrifying energy, his eyes filled with shock and rage.

"No!!!!! M won't die!!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his entire body was broken down into the smallest matter in the world by this incredibly powerful energy, and he completely perished from the world.

Wukong held one hand to the sky, his chest heaving violently.

Although he had successfully killed Im, he felt empty inside and couldn't feel happy at all.

Suddenly, a voice filled with suppressed surprise reached my ears.

"Garp isn't dead! He can still be saved!"

Goku suddenly turned his head and saw that the one speaking was Marco, who was using the Flame of Immortality to heal Garp.
