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. 

For a brief moment, the collision seemed evenly matched, but Blaize's punch was on another level, containing unimaginable power.

The sheer force behind Blaize's punch was so immense that the black appendage, enveloped in dark energy, shattered instantly, disintegrating into nothingness upon contact with his raw power.

The shockwaves from the punch continued to radiate outward, reducing the surrounding terrain to rubble, and leaving a massive expanse in its wake.

Not only that, but the shockwave was also so overwhelming that it blew the golden crown from Imu's head as it fell to the ground without making any sound.

"Um?" Blaize was momentarily speechless, taken aback. 'I thought he was unbeatable!'

Imu's appendage, shattered moments before, began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye. Flesh and bones regenerated almost instantly; the speed even quicker than that of the Five Elders.

'He's like an Immortal! Is this some kind of power beyond this world?' Blaize wondered.

At the same time, Imu's eyes narrowed, his expression unreadable. "Mu must admit, you are strong, but that doesn't mean you can oppose me," he said.

Without warning, Imu's form began to transform, his humanoid shape twisting and expanding into a massive, nightmarish beast. He changed into a colossal sea serpent-dragon, three times the size of Kaido's dragon form.

Multiple appendages sprouted from his body, each ending in sharp, arrow-like points. Enormous wings unfurled from his back, casting a dark shadow over the Mary Geoise. His long, twisting tail lashed through the air, ending in a devilish arrowhead ignited in black fire.

Imu's transformation was terrifying—like a manifestation of a devil beast. His form was so monstrous and was like a living embodiment of chaos and destruction.

From Imu, Blaize could sense nothing but the pure presence of a devil.

At the same time, the entire world watched in horror as Imu's terrifying form was revealed. Unknowingly, their hearts were gripped by an overwhelming fear of this mysterious figure, whose authority seemed to surpass even that of the Five Elder Saints.

Without regard for Blaize's thoughts, Imu let out a deep roar, unleashing a torrent of hellfire from his mouth. The black flames were so intense they incinerated everything in their path, resembling the flames of Amaterasu with the ability to consume anything.

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."
