"Boom!"
Another earth-shattering roar erupted as the blade clashed head-on with Imu's power once again. This time, Jin's blade finally carved open a crack, heading straight for Imu's figure.
However, Imu's face still showed no sign of panic. She simply raised her hand slightly, and with a light tap of her finger, a dazzling ray of lightning instantly shot out from her fingertip, striking Jin's blade.
"Clang—!"
A crisp collision sound rang out, and Jin's blade was deflected by the lightning, the powerful backlash forcing him back several steps.
His heels dragged a long furrow in the ground before he finally stabilized himself.
"As expected..."
Jin gasped for breath, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
"She's even stronger than we imagined."
Although the exchange had only lasted a few seconds, Jin already felt that the Imu before him was no ordinary enemy.
Her power was too unfathomable; whether it was speed, strength, or aura, she completely surpassed them.
However, his gaze did not waver.
He raised his head, staring coldly at Imu, the blade in his hand buzzing again, as if declaring—the battle was not over!
Imu lightly patted her fingertip, as if the previous confrontation was just a boring interlude.
Her gaze fell on Jin again, a hint of interest in her eyes:
"As expected of someone who could come here, you're slightly stronger than those wastes.
But that's not enough."
With that, she raised her hand slightly, and the entire sky became even more oppressive, countless lightning bolts gathering under her control into a giant vortex, as if the entire world was trembling for her power.
"Then let's continue."
Imu said softly, her voice carrying a hint of excitement and killing intent,
"Let me see, where is your limit."
Jin took a deep breath, his fingers twitching slightly, the strength of his grip on the hilt suddenly increasing.
Faced with such an enemy, he no longer had room to hide his strength.
He closed his eyes, and in an instant, his entire aura changed dramatically. A vast power erupted from his body, surging like a tsunami, completely tearing apart the space around him.
"If that's the case..."
Jin's voice was low and calm, with a hint of undeniable determination,
"Then let's fight with all our might!"
In the next instant, the power of the Azure Dragon Fruit surged forth, his body surface covered with patches of blue-green scales, and the sound of thunder faintly echoed beneath his skin, a strong dragon's might permeating the air.
His arms gradually changed, sharp dragon claws growing from his fingertips, each step he took carrying the power to shake the heavens and the earth.
His figure twisted in the light and shadow, and the phantom of the Azure Dragon appeared behind him, as if everything in the world was bowing down in submission at this moment.
The air pressure suddenly increased, the violent power almost making the others on the battlefield unable to breathe.
The rebels and soldiers all stopped their movements, their eyes turning towards Jin's location.
They looked at that figure, as if they were seeing a real Azure Dragon awakening.
However, this was not enough.
Jin whispered a few words like chanting a mantra, and then the power of the "Door-Door Fruit" was completely activated.
Void doors began to appear around him, these doors suspended in the air, emitting a faint light, as if connected to another unknown world.
"The existence of doors... is everywhere."
Jin murmured, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, the blade in his hand trembling with the release of his power, as if ready to tear everything apart.
The doors rotated, constantly opening and closing with Jin's every movement, as if providing infinite possibilities for his power.
Several illusory weapons appeared in his hand, that was the ability granted by the Door-Door Fruit, it could retrieve weapons and props he had used from any space.
At this moment, Jin became the most dangerous existence on the battlefield.
"What a strong aura..."
Loki muttered to himself in the distance, his eyes full of shock.
He already knew Jin's strength, but he didn't expect that when he fully released his power, he could make the entire battlefield tremble.
"This guy..."
Whitebeard took a deep breath, feeling Jin's aura that almost tore the heavens and the earth, and couldn't help but chuckle in a low voice,
"So he still had this kind of trump card."
The air completely solidified at this moment, and Imu also noticed Jin's change.
Her gaze narrowed slightly, the corners of her mouth raising in a cold smile, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes:
"Finally willing to show your true abilities?"
Jin did not answer.
His body moved, his whole being rushing towards Imu like a streak of blue-green light.
His speed was so fast that each time he crossed space, he instantly closed the distance with Imu through the power of the Door-Door Fruit.
His blade pointed straight at Imu's heart, accompanied by the power of the Azure Dragon and the distortion of space, that strike seemed enough to tear apart the heavens and the earth.
"Boom—!"
Jin's blade instantly cut through the air, colliding head-on with Imu's power.
The huge impact erupted, the entire battlefield seeming to explode, countless dust and gravel flying into the sky, even the distant mountains being shaken to collapse by the shockwave.
Countless bottomless cracks opened in the ground, a gale swept in all directions, lightning and blue light intertwined, the entire world seeming to be swallowed by this destructive force.
Imu's figure steadily floated in mid-air, her palm gently raised, colliding head-on with Jin's blade.
At that moment, her eyes were still cold, even carrying a faint smile:
"This is a little more interesting."
Her fingers exerted force slightly, an invisible force suddenly erupting, directly shaking Jin's blade away.
But Jin did not stop, his body instantly disappearing in place, using the power of the Door-Door Fruit to appear from another direction, once again swinging his blade to slash at Imu.
"Boom boom boom—!"
Blade light and lightning collided one after another, each confrontation emitting a deafening roar like planets colliding.
Jin's attack speed became faster and faster, the Door-Door Fruit making his movements unpredictable, while the power granted by the Azure Dragon Fruit made each strike carry an irresistible destructive force.
Imu's figure was surrounded by blade light and gales, but she remained calm and composed, each strike precisely blocking Jin's offensive.
Her movements were elegant and unhurried, as if dancing in a violent storm, and although each of Jin's strikes was powerful, it never touched her body.
The battle entered a white-hot stage.
Each collision between Imu and Jin seemed to be shaking the foundation of this world, everything around them being destroyed by the aftermath of the battle.
Those soldiers and rebels who tried to get close didn't even have the chance to see the two's movements clearly before being blown away by the huge shockwave.
"This guy... how much stronger can he get?"
Loki gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, the power in his hand already uncontrollably wanting to attack again, but he knew that facing such a battle, rashly intervening would only be a hindrance.
"Jin, it all depends on you."
Whitebeard said in a low voice, his eyes full of complex emotions.
Jin did not turn back, his attention completely focused on Imu.
He knew that the opponent before him was not only the strongest enemy he had ever encountered in his life, but also the target he had to defeat.
"Imu!"
Jin roared, the power of the Azure Dragon and the Door-Door Fruit erupting to their limits again, his figure turning into a dazzling blue light, rushing towards the seemingly unshakable enemy.
"Come, let me see, how long can you last."
Imu whispered, her voice cold and calm, as if everything was under her control.
