“You managed to survive that. Not bad.”

Shin watched Imu in the distance, his gaze calm. She didn’t appear injured, merely disheveled, and the mask she wore had fallen away.

At the same time, Shin finally saw Imu’s face. To be honest, she wasn’t ugly in the slightest—in fact, her beauty was on par with Amatsuki Toki’s.

But Shin felt nothing, his expression remaining placid. At most, he felt a flicker of appreciation that she’d managed to dodge his Super Shinra Tensei.

“Hancock, I’ll leave those two old bastards to you. Finish them off.”

Shin glanced at the two members of the Five Elders, who were heavily injured but somehow still clinging to life.

They were damn hard to kill, surviving even that.

But their luck was about to run out. There was no way they could escape from Hancock and Momousagi—they just didn’t have the strength.

———————

“I don’t think we need to continue this fight,” Imu suddenly said.

Before, she had seen Shin Uzumaki as a threat, which was why she had ordered the Five Elders to deal with him.

But now, having witnessed his true power, Imu realized he was more than a simple threat.

He was a mortal danger. Under these circumstances, Imu had no desire to risk her life in a fight to the death with Shin.

A fight to the death was not in her favor—it was far too risky. In the end, Imu wasn’t even twenty percent sure she could win.

“Oh? And what do you propose?” Shin didn’t make a move, his calm gaze fixed on Imu.

However, Hancock and Momousagi, who were now attacking the two remaining Five Elders, showed no signs of stopping.

Imu paid them no mind. Even if they died, it didn’t matter to her.

They were just two subordinates. What did it matter if they were dead?

“How about we call a truce?” Imu suggested to Shin. She genuinely wanted to de-escalate.

“We could rule this world together.”

Fearing Shin might refuse, Imu quickly added to her offer. A playful smirk appeared on Shin’s face.

‘Does she think everyone is like her? Does she think everyone is interested in ruling the world?’

Shin had no such interest. He looked at Imu with a flat expression. It wouldn’t be long before he left the world of One Piece anyway.

Why would he care about ruling it?

“Shin, don’t you dare believe her. She can’t be trusted,” Amatsuki Toki immediately said, shaking her head.

“Mm, I agree. She can’t be trusted.” Shin nodded calmly.

“Amatsuki Toki, what is the meaning of this?” Imu glared at Amatsuki Toki, her eyes filled with an endless killing intent.

Amatsuki Toki met her gaze and scoffed, then said coldly, “It means you can’t be trusted.”

“What do you think?” Imu ignored Amatsuki Toki. She knew the hatred between them meant Toki would never give her the time of day.

“I don’t think much of it at all,” Shin said plainly. Just then, Hancock finally finished off the two Five Elders with the flat hats and long hair.

If they had been at full strength, Hancock would have had a tough time killing them, and might not have succeeded at all.

But they had already been grievously wounded by Shin’s power. In their injured state, the Five Elders couldn’t last long.

“Shin, do you want me to kill this woman too?” Hancock asked.

“Hancock, you’re no match for her.” Shin shook his head slightly.

The key issue was that Hancock couldn’t beat her. Otherwise, Shin wouldn’t have minded Hancock dealing with her.

Hearing Shin’s words, Hancock didn’t argue. If Shin said she was no match, then she truly was no match.

And Hancock could indeed feel a powerful threat emanating from Imu.

“Shin Uzumaki, you should think this through. Don’t assume I’m at a disadvantage. I was just trying to avoid causing too much damage to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise.”

Imu said to Shin, her expression cold.

She was furious at Shin’s rejection. No one had ever refused her proposals. She felt she had already made a huge concession by agreeing to share the world with him… And still, he had the nerve to refuse her. Did he really think she was a pushover??

She hadn’t ruled this world relying on her status alone. In this world, strength was everything.

“You know, I actually gave you a chance. You had an opportunity and you didn’t take it. How pathetic.”

Shin suddenly shook his head and sighed.

Imu frowned at his words, not understanding what he meant. What chance?

“I gave you a chance to run. If you had taken the opportunity to escape just now, I might have let you go. But you didn’t.”

“You’ve got some nerve.” Imu was so angry she was trembling. When had anyone ever dared to speak to her like that?

After being treated with reverence for so long, Imu was now shaking with rage, her icy gaze locked on Shin.

“Oh, are you mad?” Shin looked at Imu calmly. Even if she was mad, what could she do?

“Are you trying to anger her?” Nami glanced at Shin and couldn’t help but ask.

“No. She just doesn’t have a good handle on her emotions,” Shin said to Nami with a smile.

“Imu is very strong. You should be careful,” Amatsuki Toki reminded Shin.

As she spoke, Imu had already drawn a strange-looking sword and was charging towards Shin.

This woman’s strength was perhaps the greatest Shin had encountered—at least, the greatest he had encountered in the world of One Piece.

“Not bad speed, but it’s not enough against me.” Shin raised the Shodai Kitetsu, blocking her slash, then sent her flying with a counter-strike.

“To be honest, I don’t go easy on women either. Are you ready for this?”

Shin held his sword in one hand and walked towards her, an overwhelming killing intent, one that conjured images of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, enveloping Imu.

At that moment, Imu felt as if she had been transported to a battlefield, a sea of blood, where she saw countless skeletons—and among them, she even saw her own.

‘No, this is an illusion.’ Imu instantly sensed something was wrong. She used her mental strength to break free from the Genjutsu, her face pale as she looked at Shin in the distance.

She hadn’t felt anything wrong—yet she had fallen into a Genjutsu. She had almost been unable to break free. This was the most dangerous moment of her life.
