Chapter 636: Op-Op Fruit Appears!
"This Old Dragon is quite interesting."
Inside Noah's Ark in the Titan World, Im sat alone on the sofa.
He narrowed his eyes, calmly watching the three-way battle on the Virtual Screen.
Around him, the Ubuyashiki Four Sisters quietly stood by. The atmosphere in the entire room was serene.
At this Time.
Historia, as usual, had taken people to Paradis Island to look after the Eldians' Child.
Incidentally, she also comforted the Adult who required Forced Labor daily.
Meanwhile, Esdeath was receiving Professional Guidance from the Martial Arts Instructor in the Training Hall.
She needed to quickly Learn the Six Powers and various Technique of Haki.
At the same Time, she had to Training/Exercise the rapidly increasing Total Cell Count within her Body into true Strength.
This would be a very difficult and Suffering Matter for ordinary people.
But for this Strongest Female Shogun from the Imperial Arms World, she was enjoying it.
Because every day she could feel herself constantly becoming stronger.
In addition,
Doflamingo had also started Training/Exercise Martial Arts and Haki on the Open Ground where Tesoro and Enel had previously trained, sweating profusely.
Who knows when he will reach Admiral Level Combat Power and successfully defeat the joint effort of the three Giant God Soldier?
By then, this Flamingo will surpass his Canon self!
As for Im,
Although there were many Matter to attend to, he still needed to constantly pay attention to the Battle Situation in the Imperial Arms World.
So, upon hearing that Aokiji was surrounded by two Super Dangerous Beast, he immediately ordered a live broadcast. Watching it now, the Situation was indeed very severe.
Although Aokiji used his Awakening to create the best Environment for himself.
However, he still couldn't break through the joint blockade of that Old Dragon and Heimalin.
Especially the former's dense Pale Hair; just taking some would be enough to serve as the Main Material for an Imperial Arms.
Using these extremely Toughness and extremely Sharpness Hair, it enveloped the entire Iceberg Mountain Range created by Kuzan.
It could be said to be an enhanced version of Doflamingo's Birdcage.
Moreover, there wasn't the slightest gap between the Strings.
Rather than a cage, it was more like a giant City Wall.
This should be targeting Kuzan's Element Transformation Ability.
However, to facilitate attacks from their own side, the Divine Dragon opened up gaps in the aerial part facing the Dark Clouds and the Zone where Heimalin was mainly attacking from the South Side.
This way, if Kuzan wanted to escape.
He would have to endure attacks from both sides while breaking through the obstruction in one Direction.
But theory is theory; achieving this is almost impossible for him now.
Furthermore, as the Combat continued, his injuries were gradually increasing.
Those Lightning and Strings with Natural Energy Attribute, every single one possessed Power that could not be underestimated.
Coupled with the fierce Dragon Tail whipping over from time to time, and the Marlin Upper Jaw leaping up and stabbing straight at him.
Even if Kuzan used all his might to deal with them, it was difficult to remain unscathed.
Finally, he could only make the Choice to use Element Transformation and retreat into the Iceberg, controlling the twelve continuous Icebergs to resist their fierce offensive that gave no room to breathe.
This directly turned the battle of the three sides completely into a Clash between Nature.
Iceberg, Tsunami, Thundercloud, Wind and Snow, Divine Dragon, Black Mist, Sea Monster.
Together they formed a shocking sight that would have no Sense of Incongruity even if painted into Myths and Legends.
Coupled with the high-pitched Dragon Roar resounding in all directions, calling it the Battle of Gods seemed to have no problem either.
However, beneath these spectacular sights,
Many Powerhouse of the World Government could all imagine how difficult it was for Kuzan struggling to hold on within, which caused Im to have the Thought of going to rescue him personally for a moment.
For him, he only needed to summon a Portable Small Stargate that could connect to any opened Star Gate.
He could then appear directly from here at the Star Gate Base in the Imperial Arms World.
Then, using the Superpower of Teleportation, he could appear immediately on the East Sea Battlefield shown on the screen.
But Thought is Thought; Im's Body showed no inclination to move.
Because he was giving Thought about whether it was truly Time for him to take action.
Also, whether his taking action now to rescue Kuzan was a good Matter.
Although Kuzan currently seemed deeply trapped in a Desperate Situation, with his Strength, he should be able to hold on until Borsalino arrives.
Unless that Old Dragon still had some Special Move.
But if that were the case, its Strength would need to be re-evaluated. If it truly reached a level surpassing Whitebeard, then he would indeed need to take action to settle it.
If not, then this battle, for Kuzan, was both a Desperate Situation and an opportunity.
Because having reached his current level, it was difficult to continue improving Strength just by relying on grinding effort.
Especially in terms of Haki, nothing could make one's Heart stronger and firmer than surviving a Desperate Situation after experiencing a difficult and Suffering battle.
So it's not hard to imagine that if Kuzan endures this Time.
Then it won't be long before his Haki intensity greatly increases, possibly even catching up to Sakazuki's current level.
Furthermore,
If every Time an Admiral of the World Government falls into a difficult Situation, he has to take action to rescue them.
Then it seems a bit too much like spoiling them, and it might also stifle their Potential to achieve a Breakthrough their own Limit.
"However, the Natural Energy they possess is quite interesting..."
Just as Im decided not to take action to rescue Kuzan, and his Thought began to turn to other Matter, a Golden Den Den Mushi on the Small Table started calling.
Without seeing him make any movement, the Handset on the Den Den Mushi's back automatically flew in front of him.
"Reporting to Lord Imu, News was just sent back from Redfield's side, saying that the Devil Fruit you need has been found!"
The Golden Den Den Mushi imitated Saint Topman Warcury's Expression and tone and said respectfully.
"Hmm?"
Im was startled in his Heart, and immediately a surge of surprise and Joy surged into his Heart, but it was suppressed by powerful Willpower. Pretending to be calm, he instructed, "Then have him bring it back. This Mission is considered perfectly completed. Reward him with one billion Berry, a Pure Gold Ring, and the Position of Cipher Pol Aigis 0 Deputy Officer!"
"I respectfully obey your Imperial Will!"
The Golden Den Den Mushi lowered its eyes again, quietly allowing the Handset to return to its back.
"Has it finally been found..."
Im's eyes shone with Flowing Light, and a Joyful Expression gradually surfaced.
For him, this Matter was even more pleasing than taking Esdeath into the Palace.
Because this Devil Fruit would allow him to come into contact with Space, Mind, Life, and multiple Rule Domain. Perhaps it wouldn't greatly increase Combat Power temporarily, but its Potential was infinite.
That's right.
It was the Paramecia System Op-Op Fruit he had always longed for.
For Im, even the Dark-Dark Fruit, Tremor-Tremor Fruit, or even the Rumble-Rumble Fruit could not compare to it.
That's why he spent a lot of Time and Energy Learning Medicine and Medical Arts, precisely to make the best possible use of the Op-Op Fruit Ability.
"Redfield did well, very well. If it weren't for his Age being too old, I would have wanted to make you one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea..."
Im looked at the Golden Den Den Mushi on the Coffee Table, giving Thought to himself. Immediately after, he raised his cold eyes and glanced towards the Yamato on the Sword Stand not far away.
"It's Time to find a Time to meet that person again, and then explain Matter clearly."
Suddenly.
The Golden Den Den Mushi, which had just closed its eyes not long ago, actually opened its eyes and started calling again, which filled him with Doubt. He summoned the Handset through the air, "What is it?"
"Reporting to Lord Imu, Commander-in-Chief Kong 'The Iron Fist' and Minister of Military and Political Department and Air Force Headquarters Fleet Admiral Zephyr have just jointly reported."
"'Golden Lion' Shiki, who is currently imprisoned in Impel Down's Infinite Hell, has already proactively proposed a Surrender Requirement. They hope the Government can give serious Consideration."
"The two believe that Shiki's Combat Power and Ability both possess great Value. If he can be successfully subdued, it will greatly enhance the Overall Strength of the Air Force Headquarters."
The person who called this Time was Saint Nasujuro. He stated the Matter clearly and completely.
"Shiki actually bowed his head?"
Im was surprised in his Heart. He really didn't expect that after a few years, this Floating Tool Character also couldn't help but give in. "What Requirement did he propose?"
"This Old Dragon is quite interesting."
Inside Noah's Ark in the Titan World, Im sat alone on the sofa.
He narrowed his eyes, calmly watching the three-way battle on the Virtual Screen.
