Chapter 275: Final Battle: Blaize vs Imu

Blaize's eyes narrowed as a figure emerged from the shadows—Saint Nerona Imu. His appearance resembled a humanoid figure, taller than a regular person but his presence was commanding and exuded an aura of immense power.

Imu was clad in a dark red robe, a crown atop his head adorned with four sharp, towering spikes. The impossibly long robe trailed behind him like a river of darkness, adding a sense of trepidation to his presence.

Despite their grievous injuries, the Five Elder Saints immediately struggled to their knees at Imu's arrival. With unwavering loyalty, they placed a hand over their chests, eyes filled with reverence and submission.

Without sparing a glance at the Five Elder Saints, Imu's gaze focused solely on Blaize. He spoke in a cold and commanding tone, "You possess an intriguing aura. It piques Mu's curiosity!"

His almond-shaped eyes, with red irises encircled by a thin black ring around the pupils, seemed to pierce through Blaize's soul.

But Blaize met Imu's gaze without flinching, a smirk playing on his lips. "When someone strong enough to kill you shows up, it's only natural to be curious."

He paused for a moment, tilting his head slightly as if in thought. "But I'm curious about something too—are you male, female, or... something else?"

"Bang—!"

Imu's aura erupted, unleashing a wave of terrifying Haoshoku Haki, far more menacing than the Five Elders or the Yonko. The sheer force of it sent shockwaves through the air, causing the very ground beneath them to shatter.

The Five Elders, their anger flaring to its peak, glared at Blaize. Saint Nusjuro stepped forward and spat, "How dare you insult Great Imu with such vile words?"

"You deserve to die," Imu declared coldly, as a black appendage emerged from behind his form, its arrow-like tip coated in Haoshoku Haki, exuding black streaks of energy.

In an instant, the appendage lashed out at Blaize, aiming his heart with deadly precision. Blaize didn't avoid it. With swift action, he met the attack head-on, his balled fist shrouded by his own Haoshoku Haki.

'Boom!'

The collision of their Haki sent shockwaves rippling through the battlefield, the ground beneath them fracturing from the sheer force.

Facing the attack, Blaize merely snorted. A powerful gravity erupted outward, repelling everything in its path.

After that, Blaize and Imu clashed, testing each other's strength and abilities with every strike. Each collision sent shockwaves through the air, crackling with streaks of lightning in a spectrum of colors.

The force of their blows shook the very foundations of the Red Line, triggering violent tremors. The sky, once filled with clouds, was now clear as their overwhelming power obliterated everything in its path.

Mary Geoise was reduced to ruins, with nothing left standing—the Pangaea Castle was demolished, and its once majestic walls crumbled into nothingness. The lush gardens were obliterated, and the surrounding buildings disintegrated into dust.

Even the Red Line beneath them couldn't withstand the immense collision. The ground split open, forming a massive crater, with cracks radiating outward like a spider's web.

Despite the widespread destruction, Blaize and Imu stood firm, unscathed, as if nothing had happened. Because neither of them was giving their all.

After a few minutes of fighting, Blaize realized that he could kill Imu if he struck with everything he had, despite Imu's ridiculous regenerative abilities that made him seem nearly immortal.

Blaize had begun to understand Imu's ability. It seemed Imu had acquired some kind of devil power that allowed him to transform into this colossal behemoth and take the form of some rare mythical beast.

One of his abilities involved absorbing the energies of Devil Fruits released by others to enhance his own strength as his Sun Fruit ability isn't working on Imu. There was even a possibility that he could absorb Haki.

And this final human-devil hybrid form—winged, with multiple arms, a serpentine body, and a tail ending in a flaming arrowhead—was ridiculously powerful. It looked like a very embodiment of a devil.

'No wonder no one had managed to defeat them in centuries,' Blaize mused. 'But it's not enough to stop me.'

"You stand no chance against me. When all creation is mine alone, how could you ever hope to defeat me? Surrender, and I will grant you immortality," Imu said. "I won't say this second time!"

Blaize sighed. "Saint Nerona Imu, you don't understand me at all. I hoped you'd entertain me, but you've disappointed me. Let's end this."
