I guarded Impel Down for a hundred years in the pirate world.

But when faced with the attack, Im simply raised his fair right hand to block Figo's fist.

boom--

The moment the two collided, the earth let out a mournful cry of unbearable pressure!

The chair where Im was sitting shattered first, followed by the ground beneath their feet, and gradually spread throughout the flower garden, reaching far into the distance!

The land within a radius of a thousand meters sank neatly, forming a huge meteorite crater in an instant, and the bouncing rocks were reduced to dust in mid-air!

At the center of the crater, Im did not retreat an inch!

The fair hand remained in the position of catching Figo's fist, with several flowing golden Armament Haki claws extending from the fingertips, piercing into the back of Figo's hand and easily cutting through Figo's skin!

Figo tilted his body and head slightly, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

With a thud, his fist jerked, finally forcing Im to take two steps back. But as the claws were severed from his flesh, they also left three long, bloody welts on the back of his own hand!

Blood dripped from the wound on the back of his hand, but was quickly stopped by Figo's body control, preventing any injury to his bones or tendons.

Figo paused for a second, then his left leg jerked, his body spun around, and his right leg, once again carrying a golden stream of light, kicked heavily towards Im's side of the face!

boom--

Another similar collision and explosion occurred, and the overburdened earth sank once again. The flowers were completely annihilated in the explosion, and Figo's kick was blocked by Im again. This time, he took the initiative to push back and create distance.

Blood flowing from his right leg stained his trousers red, and just like last time, Im's golden claws easily pierced his flesh once again!

Both attacks were blocked relatively easily, and he was even injured in the process. It seemed that Im, who was relatively small compared to him, had a stronger physique, but Figo knew that was not the case.

No matter how concentrated the essence, it's impossible to have strength without muscles. In Figo's opinion, Im's strength was indeed impressive, several times stronger than anyone Figo had ever encountered, but compared to him, he was still far inferior.

Im is clearly not a power-type UR!

Where is my Armament Haki?

Figo murmured.

The reason why his two attacks were caught and he was stabbed in the opposite direction was that when his attacks approached Im, the flowing Armament Haki would uncontrollably disappear, exposing his fists and legs!

If physical strength is the foundation, then Armament Haki is the weapon. Just like Gluttony, who grew to a height of 800 meters due to his Devil Fruit powers, was clearly several times stronger than Figo in terms of sheer strength, he still lost to Figo in the final fistfight because of the accumulated difference in Armament Haki.

Armament Haki is a necessary condition for becoming a strong person! Any strong person will be greatly weakened after losing Armament Haki!

"What's going on?" Figo asked softly, but Im clearly had no intention of explaining, drawing his sword from his waist.

"If you're not going to talk, then extinguish it."

Her petite figure suddenly reached Figo's side, her pale hair fluttering as her blade, like a crescent moon, slashed towards Figo's body!

Figo also drew his sword and slashed!

bang——

Before the blades even touched, crimson lightning tore and intertwined between them, the domineering collision instantly ripping the dark night sky apart!

But suddenly, the Conqueror's Haki on Figo's sword also disappeared, and the two forces were immediately out of balance. Then, with a loud bang, a long diagonal slash appeared on Figo's body, and he was sent flying backward, covering a hundred meters in an instant, and crashing directly into the iconic building of the Holy Land Mary Geoise!

The sacred building, which had existed for hundreds of years, was avoided by Figo during the battle 25 years ago because of Im's presence. However, it collapsed at the very beginning of this battle, turning the building, which symbolized the existence of the World Government, into a ruin made of rubble!

Chapter 100 Sulong Transformation

"In front of Lord Im, neither Armament Haki, Observation Haki, nor even Devil Fruit abilities and Conqueror's Haki will be effective."

Having retreated to land far from the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, Saint Challorin gazed at the distant, shattered and collapsed buildings of the Holy Land, a hint of sorrow on his aged face: "When I was young, I heard the 13th Five Elders recount an incident of invasion that occurred on the Holy Land. At that time, a remarkable figure emerged among the pirates, a magma man with the Magma-Magma Fruit. He wanted to become the King of the World and turn the Holy Land of Mary Geoise into a sea of ​​fire."

"But he was later burned alive."

Raul looked surprised and suspicious: "A Devil Fruit ability? Why can it suppress Armament Haki? Why can it even counter the same Devil Fruit?"

The Celestial Dragons didn't answer. Using their Observation Haki to listen to the distant commotion, Raiola's expression brightened slightly: "As expected, Lord Im's power is unstoppable. Gaston Figo is doomed!"

"Don't be too optimistic," said Saint Cherrowlin. "Gaston Figo is different from others. He is someone who can almost light a lamp with his body. Without anything else, just relying on his physique, he is a powerful guy. Even Lord Im couldn't kill Figo in a few moves."

I have no doubt that Lord Im can defeat Figo. My only worry is that he might not be able to kill him…

……

"Even Conqueror's Haki..."

With a deafening roar, the ruins of the holy site exploded, shattering amidst the flying debris. Figo spat out a mouthful of blood as he emerged from the rubble!

"Power similar to the Dark-Dark Fruit? But why can it even erase Haki? Is this guy's ability... a Devil Fruit?"

Figo's eyes narrowed slightly as he watched Im come to his side once again.

when--

The blades clashed once more, and with the clash of forces, Figo's blade suddenly became unpredictable, as he used his superb Armament Haki control to repeatedly cover the blade with flowing Armament Haki!

Yet it was eliminated by Im time and time again!

With a bang, as the Armament Haki on his blade disappeared once again, the power of Im's Armament Haki-infused blade shattered Figo's blade and struck him once more.

Blood splattered, but Figo, who was prepared, planted his feet firmly on the ground, carving two deep furrows in the earth, and stopped a dozen meters away.

His upper body was stained red with blood. The two intersecting slashes had indeed broken through his defenses and even caused Figo moderate injuries!

This is something I've never experienced before.

With such a unilateral injury, Figo's strong physique could only help him hold on for a little longer, much like when he fought Rocks.

But Figo's gaze remained unchanged.

If a UR doesn't even have this much ability, then what makes them a UR? Im's physical stats should be around 35, which is only enough to break through his defenses, but this strange ability should be rated at level 6, or at least close to it.

He had been mentally prepared to be suppressed as soon as he sensed Im's presence and the still deadly threat; otherwise, the Five Elders wouldn't have been able to maintain their confidence in Im despite knowing so much about Figo.

But... do you know all my information? The pain made Figo's blood flow again after a long time. Bullying weaker kids is not as fun as challenging the strong!

As Figo was sent flying for the third time, his image disappearing into the ruins, Im, carrying his sword, walked over step by step and asked him calmly, "How did you obtain Pluto's abilities?"

"Guess," Figo grinned.

Then his eyes suddenly met the full moon!

The moon, reflected in his eyes, grew larger and larger, changing the state of his pupils!

An unusual power emanated from his body, and Im's calm expression finally changed slightly. "The power of the Mink Tribe?"

She lunged forward swiftly, her blade slashing towards Figo with flowing Armament Haki, but with a clang, it was blocked by the beast-like sharp nails that emerged from Figo's fingertips as he sat up!

Figo's appearance had completely changed by this point!

His black hair was dyed snow-white, stretched dozens of times longer, and curled to the ground. His skin also became as white as the moon, making it impossible to tell whether the moonlight was shining on Figo or he was reflecting the moonlight onto him.

Elongated eyes and beast-like pupils added a touch of wild charm to Figo's face, while the constantly flickering arcs of electricity on his body further enhanced his mystery and danger.

The power of the fishmen granted Figo the ability of the fishmen to breathe underwater and swim freely.

The power of the giants granted Figo an increase in the lifespan and physique of the giant race.

The power of the Mink Tribe granted Figo the ability to manipulate electric arcs and transform into Sulong under the moonlight!

The so-called Sulong transformation is a technique used by the Mink Tribe to focus their gaze on the moon and awaken their inner wildness. It has the drawbacks of being easy to lose control of and shortening one's lifespan, but it also allows them to enhance their physical abilities several times over and unleash greater fighting power.

Ordinary Mink warriors can transform into Sulong and possess the fighting power of a pirate worth hundreds of millions.

What about Figo?

Choosing to come under the moonlight was no accident!

The disguise as a moonlit hunter wasn't made out of thin air!

This thing wouldn't provide him with a dramatic boost, like several times over, but even if it were a few percent...

Beneath Im's red, ring-shaped pupils, Figo's figure vanished from under the blade!

A gust of wind swept up behind her, her pale hair fluttering as she swiftly turned and slashed, only to strike a flickering arc of electricity.

Using her Observation Haki to its fullest extent, Im saw one vision of the future after another. She unleashed crescent-shaped slashes continuously, yet not a single one touched Figo's clothes or hair!

Even a preemptive attack couldn't catch up with Figo, who was using Shave to move in Sulong form. By the time she swung her sword, Figo was already a hundred meters away!

"Why do they even possess the power of the Mink Tribe?" she asked somberly, closing her eyes and ceasing her blind attacks.

Suddenly, she shifted to the right, a huge fist grazing her cheek, the crackling arc of electricity giving her hair a slightly burnt smell.

Then Im swung his sword and slashed horizontally!

The upward-sweeping blade first collided with the electric current on Figo's body, then instantly neutralized it, before slashing heavily into Figo's waist!

The splattered blood splashed onto the ground.

"Without lighting the lamps, no matter how much effort is put into accumulating them, they will be extinguished at any time."

"Light up, light up, are you a star? Also, talking to me so close, your bad breath is a bit overwhelming." Figo said, his long, curly white hair fluttering in the wind.

Huh? He wasn't sent flying?!

The red circle indicates that the pupil has contracted.

Im foresaw the image of Figo's giant hand, transformed into a beast's claw, tearing towards his neck from behind.

She immediately ducked to avoid it, but her chin collided squarely with Figo's rapidly raised knee!

With a muffled thud, Im's head flew high into the air, her body sent flying! A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and Im's deathly expression grew even more grim as she swiftly swung her sword to meet the attack!

Figo's white figure leaped high into the air, overlapping with the bright moon in the sky, and his right leg, slashing down at high speed, collided directly with Im's blade!

A spray of blood spurted from his right leg.

Boom—

A mushroom cloud-like sonic boom erupted where Im was, and her figure shot into the ground!

The ground within a radius of several thousand meters shattered and trembled, and the spreading cracks swallowed up the distant dwellings of the Celestial Dragons, making the entire Holy Land of Mary Geoise a thing of the past!

Chapter 101 Lights and Prisoners

The rumbling sounds of the collapse blended together.

Like a magnitude 10 earthquake, the dust from the collapsed buildings cast a shadow over the night sky, and the massive, crisscrossing cracks completely altered the landscape of the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!

However, this red earth continent is far more vast and massive than ordinary islands, and Figo's all-out attack was far from sinking the Holy Land into the sea.

He used Moonwalk to leap high into the air, then used his life to regain control of his body, rapidly healing the wound on his right leg. The kick that had met Im's blade head-on had sliced ​​through his flesh and reached his bone in the impact.

However, his robust physique had reduced this injury to a minor one; unless his heart was pierced or his head was injured, it wouldn't affect his combat ability. Of course, the blow he received earlier wouldn't have seriously injured Im either.
