One Piece : Glory To The Fleet Admiral

Chapter 492 492: All Conqueror's Haki Users

"Something's wrong, trouble is brewing!"

Looking down at the massive demonic silhouette that had appeared in the Flower Room, Warcury and Saturn spoke almost simultaneously before both flashed out of the room.

Immediately afterward, Nusjuro didn't dare to delay and followed them out of the Chamber of Authority one after the other.

Although Zephyr, who had been enjoying rice crackers and resting with his eyes closed, didn't follow immediately, his expression turned exceptionally grave.

"What's happening?"

Sakazuki glanced at Sengoku and Zephyr, bewildered.

"Isn't that demonic silhouette Imu's ability? Why are they panicking?"

"Imu has amnesia!"

Sengoku casually placed the rice crackers back into the box, stood up, and said with a grave expression.

"Gunko came to see us earlier, saying that Imu might lose her memories related to Orion! If she really forgets Orion, we'll face the dilemma of choosing sides once again!"

"The dilemma of choosing sides?" Sakazuki's brow furrowed instantly as he said sternly, "Sengoku, I don't want to hear such words from you again!"

"Even if Imu has lost her memories related to Orion, or even if she hasn't, our loyalty belongs solely toOrion!"

"Let's go and see what's really happening!"

With that, Sakazuki ignored Sengoku's reaction and turned to leave decisively.

...

In the God's Knights' operations hall, Shamrock, Garling, and Doflamingo vanished almost simultaneously.

When they reappeared, they were already outside the gate of the Flower Room's garden.

"Hmph fufufufu, what an unexpected turn of events!"

Doflamingo, following behind Garling and his son, swaggered forward, shoving Shamrock aside as he strode directly to the garden gate.

Staring at the massive demonic silhouette within the garden, he grinned wickedly and said, "Though I don't know what kind of monster this is, you'd better not make any rash moves next. Otherwise, I won't mind taking down both of you father and son!"

With that, Doflamingo took the lead, stepping through the Flower Room's gate.

"Father?" Shamrock didn't follow but instead turned to Garling, who stood beside him with no intention of entering the Flower Room either.

"What's going on? Why is Imu-sama confronting Lord Orion?"

"Things are looking very bad!" Garling narrowed his eyes, his expression grave. "If nothing unexpected has happened, Imu-sama has likely lost her memories related to Orion."

Hearing this, Shamrock blinked in confusion at first, then looked up in horror at the enormous demonic silhouette in the Flower Room, exclaiming in shock.

"Then she must be mistaking Orion for an intruder?"

As soon as Shamrock finished speaking, several figures carrying terrifying auras approached from afar, appearing before Shamrock and Garling in an instant—Saturn, Warcury, and Nusjuro!

"What are you still standing here for?"

Saturn didn't pause his steps, issuing a warning to Garling and his son as he swiftly charged into the Flower Room, kneeling on one knee before Imu.

"Saturn, Warcury, Nusjuro! You've arrived just in time!"

Before the three Five Elders could speak, Imu fixed her burning gaze on Orion opposite her, her voice cold as she commanded.

"Quickly apprehend this person!"

Saturn, Warcury, and Nusjuro dared not disobey Imu's order and immediately unleashed their respective abilities.

As billowing energy surged and terrifying shockwaves swept through, Saturn, Warcury, and Nusjuro transformed one after another.

In an instant, a spine-chilling aura filled the Flower Room, turning the once birdsong-and-fragrance garden into a ghostly, hellish landscape in the blink of an eye.

Before the three could strike, several figures swiftly crossed the Flower Room's outer wall and landed behind Orion—none other than Sakazuki, who had just become a candidate for the Five Elders, and Gion, newly promoted to Fleet Admiral.

Immediately after, Sengoku and Zephyr rushed in through the garden gate.

"Ahahaha, it should be my turn to make an entrance now, right?"

As soon as Sengoku and Zephyr flashed into the Flower Room, a familiar burst of laughter echoed behind them.

The next moment, Garp charged into the Flower Room, full of vigor, his gaze locking directly onto Imu, who stood with the massive demonic silhouette behind her.

"So, you were the pest that possessed Saturn during the God Valley incident back then, weren't you? Imu!"

Without waiting for a response, Garp clenched his iron fist, leaped high into the air, soared over Saturn, Warcury, and Nusjuro, and delivered a swift, decisive punch aimed straight at Imu's head.

"Holy—"

The moment he burst into the Flower Room and barely had time to assess the situation, Sengoku saw Garp immediately charging toward Imu's head without a word.

He urgently shouted, "Garp, don't be rash!"

Almost simultaneously, Imu recalled the memory from years ago when she had possessed Saturn and had her head smashed by Garp's fist.

As the voice rang out, the demonic shadow behind her didn't hesitate in the slightest, raising its claw to strike down fiercely at Garp.

The arrow-like tail coiled behind it shot out at the same time, aiming straight for Garp's heart!

With the demonic shadow taking action, Imu ignored Garp's attack and sharply yelled at the transformed Saturn, Warcury, and Nusjuro.

"The enemy has broken into the Flower Room, and you're still not acting? Capture them now!"

"Just them?"

Sakazuki stepped forward first, his Conqueror's Haki erupting alongside the activation of his Magma-Magma Devil Fruit ability.

Immediately after, Gion boldly drew her sword, the Conqueror's Haki wrapped around the blade surging violently, bearing a striking resemblance to Orion's sword-drawing stance atop the Marine Headquarters building back then.

Before the blade was fully unsheathed, the black-and-red Conqueror's Haki poured out like a torrent.

"Fufufufufu, how could such a scene be without me!"

Doflamingo, who had entered the Flower Room ahead of Garling and his son, also released his Conqueror's Haki with a sinister laugh, joining Sakazuki and Gion's to form a visible torrent of Haki that swept toward the transformed Saturn, Warcury, and Nusjuro like a tidal wave.

Garling and Shamrock, completely caught off guard by the simultaneous release of Conqueror's Haki from Gion, and Doflamingo, were utterly stunned.

Were they going all out before the war even began?

Just as Garling and Shamrock were unsure whether to act, Orion suddenly lifted his foot and lightly stomped.

A terrifying Conqueror's Haki condensed into a fearsome airflow, instantly enveloping the demonic shadow blocking Garp.

Several low-frequency vibrations rippled out, and the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki formed a Haki prison, firmly suppressing the demonic shadow.

Seizing the opportunity, Garp leaped up again and delivered a clean, powerful punch to the demonic shadow's head.

With a resounding explosion, half of the massive shadow's head was shattered.

Immediately after, a piercing shriek erupted from the shadow, echoing across the Holy Land for a long time.

As the demonic shadow screamed, Imu also let out a cry of agony, then clutched her head, bent over, and knelt down!

While kneeling, Imu uttered words that left everyone present utterly bewildered, as if struggling against something, her tone urgent and pained.

"Quick, call Orion! Mu needs him!"
