"Phew!"
"That was close!!"
Fang Huo let out a deep breath as he looked at the pierced robot.
He didn't dare take a hit from Imu; otherwise, he didn't know if he would be killed outright or forcibly controlled.
Unfortunately, there was only one of Joy Boy's Conquerors Haki Knots.
Fang Huo had no more life-saving trump cards.
However, this time it should have given Imu quite a scare, ensuring that this thousand-year-old immortal would never dare to act rashly again.
This would give the Rocks Pirates some time to develop.
"How is this possible!"
"How can this be!!"
"You actually... Lord Imu..."
Saint Garling, having regained consciousness, looked at Fang Huo with even greater fear.
How could Lord Imu, whom they revered as a god, be repelled by Fang Huo!
He didn't believe it!
He didn't believe it!
"Take his life while he's down!!"
'Sea Stone Iron Maiden!'
Seeing Saint Garling sink into a despairing existential crisis, Fang Huo didn't hesitate and immediately used one of his hidden moves.
A humanoid coffin torture device quickly sealed the dazed Saint Garling inside, leaving only his head exposed.
Densely packed Sea Stone spikes inside the device instantly pierced Saint Garling's body.
This caused Saint Garling to scream in pain, feeling a sense of desperate helplessness.
He didn't even have the strength to struggle out of the Iron Maiden.
He could only continuously consume the Power of Immortality to repair his pierced body.
"Before Imu can react! Let's wipe out another portion of His will and power!"
"Imu! Taste the pain of backlash once more!"
Fang Huo flew atop the Iron Maiden, holding the seven star demon sword with both hands. He continuously unleashed Conqueror's Haki, using Conquerors Haki Coating on his sword to plunge it into Saint Garling's head and down his spine over and over again.
Accelerating the depletion of the Power of Immortality in Saint Garling's body!
Seeing the brutal Fang Huo, even Golden Lion Shiki shuddered.
As expected, a Prophet like Fang Huo was not someone to be trifled with!
Meanwhile, Saint Mammaia Foss saw that Lord Imu's descent vessel had been defeated, and even the two Gods Knights he summoned—the Yeti and the Ram-Headed Demon—had vanished.
A sense of despair enveloped him.
Even Immortality could no longer provide him with any sense of security!
Without a word, he turned and fled!!
"Catch him, quickly!!"
While repeatedly stabbing Saint Garling with his Haki-infused sword, Fang Huo shouted to Shiki, Linlin, and Kisaburo!
If he weren't worried that he might fail to kill even a single member of the Gods Knights and that all their power would be reclaimed by Imu...
He would have wanted to take down this member of the Gods Knights personally.
To give Imu another surprise and make Him suffer another backlash...
Fang Huo was truly dedicated, considering Imu's well-being to the very end.
"Understood!!"
Charlotte Linlin and Fūgetsu Kisaburō immediately followed Fang Huo's orders and charged toward Saint Mammaia Foss.
Golden Lion Shiki didn't move; instead, he floated toward Fang Huo, who was still stabbing away.
"Fang Huo, was it that robot that just unleashed that terrifying Conqueror's Haki?"
A sharp light gleamed in Golden Lion Shiki's eyes.
He knew Fang Huo wouldn't occupy that ruined Egghead Island to build a nation for no reason.
That horrifying Conqueror's Haki just now had even forcibly suppressed his Float-Float Fruit ability.
It was truly terrifyingly strong!
So, this ancient robot obtained from Egghead Island actually possessed such fearsome power.
It could even force back the King of the World, Imu.
He wondered if this robot could continue to unleash Conqueror's Haki of that level.
If so, this robot was truly a precious life-saving treasure!
He remembered that in Elbaf, Fang Huo had also been asking the giants about the ancient robot.
Fang Huo seemed to have gone up to the Celestial Realm once with Loki and collected another even older robot.
Doesn't that mean Fang Huo has another robot with such terrifying power?
The more Golden Lion Shiki thought about it, the more excited he became.
If he could place a robot on his Flying Fleet, he would never have to worry about Imu's attacks again.
"It's the Conqueror's Haki left behind by the Sun God Joy Boy!"
Fang Huo knew what Shiki was thinking at a glance, but since the Gods Knight Garling wasn't dead yet...
Fang Huo didn't reveal too much information.
To prevent Garling from transmitting the information back through the void.
"Can it still be used?"
Golden Lion Shiki continued to press, his eyes full of longing.
This was simply more attractive than a Devil Fruit; its value was no less than that of the Three Ancient Weapons.
"Get lost, get lost, get lost! This member of the Gods Knights can communicate directly with Imu. Do you want me to leak the info that I plan to ambush Imu again next time!"
Fang Huo spoke indifferently, continuing to stab Saint Garling with the seven star demon sword.
He didn't know if Saint Garling, who hadn't fully recovered, could send the message back.
Furthermore, he didn't know if Imu, who was currently frightened by Joy Boy's Conqueror's Haki, could still use His abilities.
If Garling could send it back, then it could continue to scare Imu a bit.
If it couldn't be sent back, it didn't matter; it wasn't a big deal.
"Jiehahaha! Understood, understood!"
Golden Lion Shiki's eyes lit up. Didn't Fang Huo's words mean it could still be used?
This made him covet both Fang Huo's Egghead Island robot and the Elbaf robot.
He had to find a way to get his hands on them!
Ideally, he could make Fang Huo his Vice Captain.
Then Fang Huo's treasures would be his treasures!
"What do you need me to do now?"
"Ah, right, right, go catch the Gods Knight!"
"Fang Huo, don't forget we're brothers for life!"
Golden Lion Shiki acted as if he had discovered some of Fang Huo's hidden secrets.
This was a secret about the robots that even Rocks and the others didn't know.
To please Fang Huo, Golden Lion Shiki hurried to carry out the task Fang Huo had just assigned.
Fang Huo watched Golden Lion Shiki leave cheerfully like a husky, wondering what the guy was overthinking about now.
"To restrict and kill you, I wasted a Green-Haired Turtle Devil Fruit!"
"I must kill you before Imu reacts!"
Fang Huo truly wanted Saint Garling dead; the rule that major characters couldn't die didn't exist in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Saint Mammaia Foss, who was fleeing frantically, shouted for all the other Gods Knights to escape.
Don't worry about those useless clansmen anymore!
Shepherd Ten Somaz Saint, having received the crisis notification and facing no strong enemies, immediately fled to the shore and hijacked a ship to escape.
Lord Imu's sudden disconnection had truly terrified them.
However, Makas Petygrew was already entangled by the frenzied Silver Axe Fierce and couldn't escape for the moment.
But she quickly adopted the principle of 'better you than me' and ran toward the other Celestial Dragons.
Silver Axe Fierce indeed stopped pursuing this unkillable member of the Gods Knights.
Instead, he turned to slaughter those Celestial Dragons, sinking into a state of wanton madness.
Even Thatchers Mafy Palace managed to force Redfield to stop his pursuit by taking a large number of hostages and wounding many of them.
Between pursuing Marfygong and saving the injured islanders, Redfield eventually gritted his teeth and chose to save the people!
Three Gods Knights rushed to the shore, each hijacking a ship to leave, and ordered the Marine to save more Celestial Dragons.
They no longer cared how many of their clansmen would survive.
Even Lord Imu had been forced back; what the hell were they still fighting for!
Escaping was the priority!
