Although the death of his three old friends filled him with immense grief and anger.
He obeyed Imu's command like a puppet, not daring to question further.
"What a joke! We suffered such heavy losses in this battle today, and we were finally about to capture El. How can we just let him leave like this!"
Garp's veins bulged on his forehead as he shouted again at Imu in mid-air.
Even though Garp's current position was only Vice Admiral.
In terms of status and identity, he was insignificant compared to the Gorosei.
Let alone Imu, who commanded the unconditional obedience of the Gorosei!
But... Garp could not accept letting El leave and directly questioned Imu.
"I believe you will be able to personally kill this enemy, El, in the future." Imu glanced at Garp, turning her head slightly.
"We can't do that!"
Although Garp had great confidence in his own strength.
El was someone who could fight four Gorosei alone, and even kill three of them.
No matter how confident he was in his own strength, he absolutely did not believe he was El's opponent!
"This guy El, even four Gorosei combined couldn't defeat him. How can we possibly defeat this monster on the seas in the future?" Zephyr also spoke up.
"There are many interesting pirates on the seas, but... this pirate El is extremely dangerous. Letting him go will bring us utter destruction!" Steelbone Kong said solemnly.
Honestly, they truly couldn't fathom Imu's thoughts.
Was she just letting him go because she found El interesting?
Keep in mind, El had killed three Gorosei in this battle!
As the superior of the Gorosei, no matter how she thought, she should be enraged and seek revenge for the Gorosei!
"Utter destruction? He's not capable of that!"
"Pirates are your Navy's enemies. Unless necessary, I will not intervene. However... I believe you can defeat this guy."
Unless El's strength posed a profound threat to Imu.
Otherwise, she would not easily interfere with the world's order.
After a single exchange with El.
Imu deduced that El's current strength was not enough to overthrow her rule.
After all, she could still sense that the power within El was temporary and uncontrolled.
However... she was quite interested in how far El would grow in the future.
She had lived in this world for a full eight hundred years.
While ruling the entire world gave her a sense of accomplishment, the excessively long time had also made her somewhat bored.
Therefore, El's appearance had made things interesting for her.
Compared to killing El now, she was more curious about how much El would grow!
As for the deaths of the Gorosei, they died, so what?
After they die, couldn't they just elect new ones later?
After leaving these words, Imu vanished.
Only Garp and the others remained in place.
Zephyr frowned and asked Steelbone Kong, "What do we do now? Should we still kill El?"
Although they desperately wanted to join forces and deal with El now.
Imu had already given the order for El to leave.
If they were to attack El directly now... no one knew what would happen.
Steelbone Kong clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, his expression grim as he remained silent for a moment.
"Let him... go."
Although he also wanted to kill El, Imu was a being above the Gorosei.
He dared not disobey the orders of such an existence.
"Damn it, just letting El leave like this!" Garp said angrily.
They had a chance to eliminate El today.
Yet now, they had to let El leave.
This was something Garp found hard to accept.
But facing Imu's order, he had no choice but to comply.
"Since that person said we will have the chance to kill El in the future, perhaps we should believe her words," Tsuru said, trying to comfort them.
In truth, she didn't really believe Imu either.
But since they couldn't kill El now, she had to force herself to believe those words.
"Damn it, I never expected that after El invaded the Holy Land Mary Geoise, a place of such importance, the end result for us would be like this!" Zephyr sat down on a piece of rubble, his face grim.
At this moment, Akainu arrived behind everyone, his expression solemn.
"I will personally defeat that guy El in the future!"
"Although he's a terrifying fellow, if his strength can reach this level, perhaps with our talent, we can too," Aokiji also chimed in.
Hearing Aokiji's words, Garp and the others turned to look at him.
Although they wanted to say something, to avoid discouraging Aokiji, they hesitated and decided against it.
Aokiji's talent was indeed good; at a young age, he was rated as a three-star Marine.
But... Garp and the others were also rated as three-star at a young age back then.
However, compared to the current El, their strength was worlds apart!
...
El, floating in mid-air, watched Imu's retreating figure and remained silent for a moment.
Then, he turned his gaze to Whitebeard in the distance and said, "It's time to go, Edward!"
Although he didn't know if it was a trap.
However, if they could leave, they should naturally try.
After all, he didn't want to continue fighting, as the multi-fold power enhancement experience card had already expired.
"Gulalala... El, your current appearance really surprises me."
Whitebeard approached El, laughing heartily.
When Imu appeared, his fight with the scarred old man had already ended.
When Imu left, the scarred old man did not continue to attack him.
"Stop talking so much, it's time to leave."
El quickly floated to Whitebeard's side and took him away from this place.
Now, he didn't want to stay a moment longer in this dangerous place where Imu existed.
Watching El and Whitebeard leave, Garp and the others were resentful.
But... not a single one chose to pursue, as they knew they couldn't catch up.
"Is... is it over?"
"Damn it, we suffered too much in this battle!"
"What exactly is this so-called Imu? Why did she let El leave???"
A high-ranking official of the World Government said angrily.
The moment his words fell, a sharp sword energy tore him in half.
The old man with the sword, covered in blood and heavily injured, looked fierce.
"How dare you insist on defying Lord Imu's orders???"
Seeing a high-ranking official discussing Imu's death, those around him broke out in cold sweat and dared not say anything more.
The old man with the sword snorted and then slowly walked towards Garp and the others.
He sat on a piece of rubble, looking at the group with a serious expression.
"This guy El... from now on, it will be up to you few to deal with."
Imu had given orders that they, the Gorosei, could not leave the Holy Land Mary Geoise.
This meant that unless El arrived at this place again, they would be completely unable to act against El.
El had now returned to the sea.
In the future, this enemy could only be handled by Garp and the others.
"You think too highly of us. Even you four combined were no match for him, how can we possibly defeat this monster El?" Steelbone Kong sighed.
Honestly, Steelbone Kong wanted to howl!
Damn it, the four Gorosei combined couldn't beat El, and three were counter-killed!
