I, The Celestial Dragon, Rule The Heavens Through The Double Gate

Wings emerged behind Kaos, stepping into the air with one step, looking directly at the Golden Lion.

Hearing the words, the Golden Lion frowned, looked up at the sky covered with thunderclouds, and felt a little apprehensive but still dismissed it.

"You can't kill me!"

The voice fell.

On a cruise ship, in a lobby with double-piercing doors, a figure came out slowly and stepped onto the deck.

She looked up above her head.

It's Imu!

In the sky, Kaos faced the Golden Lion.

In the next moment, with no warning, the Golden Lion kicked out with both legs.

"Slash Wave!"

Continuous slashing attacks erupted like a rain of arrows.

Kaos' expression didn't change at all. He waved his hand, and the golden holy flame turned into a barrier, blocking all the slashing attacks.

Immediately afterward, just as Kaos was about to make a move, his face changed slightly, revealing a look of surprise.

At the same time, the Golden Lion's complexion also changed.

Unlike Kaos, the Golden Lion's face turned pale, and he abruptly looked back with disbelief.

A figure unexpectedly appeared there like a ghost.

It's Imu!

Not even a chance to resist.

Imu made a blade with her right hand and stabbed straight.

It was just an unremarkable blow, but it carried the ultimate speed and force.

There was a snort.

Blood overflowed from the corner of the Golden Lion's mouth.

Imu's hand had pierced directly into the Golden Lion's heart, and then she withdrew it.

Blood spattered and spilled into the sea.

In Imu's hand, there was a heart.

Without a doubt, it was the Golden Lion's heart.

Under Imu's indifferent expression, her palm slightly exerted force.

Bang.

The heart was crushed abruptly.

Imu raised her leg and delivered a powerful kick, sending the Golden Lion crashing onto the deck of the cruise ship with a resounding bang.

Such a scene startled everyone else, leaving them with shocking expressions.

It seemed they hadn't expected the famous Golden Lion to be taken down so easily.

At the same time, they were even more doubtful about the identity of the mysterious figure who had suddenly appeared.

But Zero and Stussy glanced at her and then suddenly lowered their heads, sweating profusely and looking pale.

Such behavior did not escape Akainu's notice. A bad feeling arose in him, and he quickly lowered his head like Stussy and the others.

Swish.

Imu appeared next to Kaos again.

Seeing this, Kaos stretched out his hand to wrap his arm around Imu's waist. He flapped his wings and landed with her, asking curiously, "How did you get here?"

He handed her a hand towel, and after wiping the blood from her palm, Imu replied softly.

"On a whim, I decided to come."

Hearing this, Kaos nodded and immediately looked at the dying Golden Lion, showing a look of pity.

It was truly pitiful.

To encounter Imu was simply bad luck.

The strength of the Golden Lion was undoubtedly Admiral level.

However, the rudder embedded in his head had too great an impact on him.

Without the rudder, the Golden Lion's strength would be at the pinnacle of the Admiral class, standing at the top of the world.

With the rudder, however, his strength plummeted to the bottom of the Admiral class.

The rudder affected his nervous system, causing his physical condition to deteriorate and affecting his Haki, especially his Observation Haki.

Even so, with the development of his Devil Fruit, he still maintained Admiral-level power. Otherwise, even that level would have fallen away.

Of course, when meeting Luffy in the future, it was clear that the Golden Lion's strength had dropped well below Admiral level.

But at present, the Golden Lion was still a force to be reckoned with. To defeat him, even Kaos and others would have needed considerable effort.

Yet today, Imu had appeared.

Imu's strength was the Ultimate of this world.

Ultimate, not just top-tier.

In this world, besides Rocks D. Xebec in the past, no one could match Imu one-on-one.

And after receiving the blessings of the world itself, Imu's strength had surpassed the Ultimate and reached a new level.

For someone at the bottom of the Admiral class like the Golden Lion, encountering Imu meant death was inevitable.

Waving his hand, Kaos ordered without hesitation.

"Take him down and see if you can regenerate the fruit while he's still alive."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Two CP members immediately took orders and left with the Golden Lion.

At the same time, Stussy, Zero, and Akainu approached.

The three of them bowed deeply to Kaos and Imu.

"Your Highnesses," Stussy and Zero greeted respectfully.

Hearing this, Akainu instantly understood Imu's identity.

At least Imu's status was on par with Kaos, if not higher. Without hesitation, he bowed to Imu as well.

The next moment—

"Trash!"

Imu's cold voice rang out, followed by three kicks in quick succession.

The three were sent flying, blood spurting from their mouths. It was clear that Imu hadn't held back.

Yet, despite their injuries, the three quickly got up and knelt on one knee. Pale and trembling, they didn't even dare wipe the blood from their mouths.

Walking up to them, Imu's indifferent gaze bore down.

"Useless trash," she said icily. "You can't even handle an enemy, forcing your master to step in personally. What's the point of keeping you around?"

Her words carried a terrifying pressure—an oppressive force formed by her Conqueror's Haki and overwhelming strength.

Under this pressure, Akainu felt pure terror.

Though he was already one of the strongest in the sea, he had never imagined such an existence in the world.

And this being belonged to the World Government, yet as an Admiral, he had been completely unaware of it.

Just like when he first encountered Kaos, this realization reinforced his respect and fear of Imu's identity.

Deep within, he couldn't help but wonder: "Is this the true power of the World Government?"

Terrifying.
