Before the Gorosei arrived, Garling had been facing the combined attacks of Christopher and Dragon.
Even though neither of them had discovered at the time that the Haoshoku imprint could restrain his immortal body.
Garling's Haki and stamina were both severely depleted.
Only now had Garling completely adjusted his state.
Even his tattered hair had once again returned to its crescent shape.
It must be said that Garling was somewhat unlucky.
When he first appeared in the original story, he was Red Hair's father and a king active in God Valley.
In God Valley, upon hearing the news of the Rocks Pirates' landing, Garling ordered the Marine to retreat, stating that he could handle it.
As a result, he brought the devil-transformed Davy family and had half his head sliced off by Rocks, who was using only one hand.
By the time the camera switched back to Garling, the guy was already beaten Blake and blue, unable to get back up.
Fairly speaking, Garling's strength was still very high; losing to Rocks was not shameful.
Taking the Gates of Justice as an example, Whitebeard had no way to deal with it, but Rocks had shattered it with a few slashes back then.
It was normal for Garling to be treated as a speed bump by Rocks, as Rocks' strength was clearly a tier above everyone else.
Garling's luck had always been poor.
First, he encountered Rocks, the strongest under Imu, and today he was besieged by two top-tier powerhouses.
Every battle left Garling looking disheveled.
Not only did it fail to convey his strength, but it also made him seem like a comedic character.
However, on the current battlefield, Garling's participation once again shored up the Gorosei's somewhat precarious position.
There was no other way; the Haoshoku imprint could only slow down the regeneration speed of an immortal body; it couldn't truly break an immortal body.
At least, from the perspective of Dragon and Christopher on the current battlefield, this was the case.
Blake, however, suspected that through some special technique, or a stronger Haoshoku, the imprint could last longer, or even cause permanent damage.
But Christopher and the others were clearly giving their all, and Blake couldn't possibly go up and try it himself.
So, although Saturn, Peter, and the others appeared to be severely injured, they were still slowly recovering.
If they fully recovered, the situation would once again reverse.
Blake watched this scene, frowning slightly, feeling that Rayleigh had killed a bit too early.
The current situation for Christopher and the Revolutionary Army could not be considered good.
If this continued, it might not even require Imu to appear personally; the immortal bodies of the Gorosei and the God's Knights alone could wear them down.
In that case, Blake's plan, if not completely thwarted, would at least not be fully successful.
Just as Blake was still thinking if there was any remedy, Dragon and Christopher surprisingly found a way to delay on their own.
Those injured by the Haoshoku imprint would be unable to recover their combat ability for a certain period.
And now, although Garling had recovered, Saturn and Peter had fallen.
They used this brief window to inflict as much damage as possible on Garling, Mars, and St. V. Nusjuro.
By the time Saturn and Peter had largely recovered, the others' injuries would need time to heal.
Peter's ability, in particular, was quite troublesome.
If he didn't use his sand worm ability, his strength would be greatly reduced.
And the sand worm's main ability was all in its mouth.
As soon as he opened his mouth, Morley would push a large chunk of bricks and rubble, trying to block it.
This annoyed Peter endlessly, completely preventing him from unleashing his full strength.
Moreover, the Gorosei and the God's Knights' combat habits and logic, developed over so many years, relied on enduring damage with their immortal bodies.
Now, suddenly encountering someone who could affect immortal bodies, they seemed somewhat at a loss for a moment.
This current battle had turned into a war of attrition, a contest of Haki and stamina.
"Still too impatient…"
By this point, Blake no longer held much hope for the Revolutionary Army fighting Imu.
The current foundation of the Revolutionary Army was still too weak; even with Christopher and others, they were still at a disadvantage against the combined forces of the Gorosei and the God's Knights.
Their ability to hold on for a short time was due to their reckless use of Haoshoku attacks.
But this level of exhaustion could not last too long.
The reason for this outcome was that this opportunity was truly too good.
Tiger and Christopher attacked simultaneously.
If Blake hadn't brought the Revolutionary Army over, they would have had to wait at least another fifteen years to have the courage to attack Mary Geoise.
By that time, the sun god would have already appeared, so why would they be needed?
So, in reality, it wasn't a question of being impatient or not, but rather that this was the only chance.
The next time they wanted to entice the Revolutionary Army to attack Mary Geoise, they would have to wait at least another fifteen years.
The great battle continued, and the thick smoke over Mary Geoise had gradually dissipated.
The fire had also stopped at some unknown point, with only scattered sparks still flickering in the building's debris, highlighting the extraordinary night.
A faint light began to appear on the horizon.
Jinbe and the others waited anxiously at the agreed location below the Red Line, while Arlong paced restlessly on the ship.
In a bar on the Sabaody Archipelago, Shakky leaned by the window, gazing towards the distant Red Line.
With another clash of Christopher's and St. V. Nusjuro's longswords, the vibration had caused the ground near the battlefield to collapse into massive craters.
Just then, a sharp glint flashed in Blake's eyes.
He frowned: "What is this feeling… what's happening?"
He observed everyone on the battlefield, finding that no one else had any special reaction, and couldn't help but murmur:
"Is it my imagination? Or is my Observation Haki sensing something obscure?"
Blake's Observation Haki was definitely the strongest among everyone present, so it was not surprising that he could detect things others hadn't noticed.
However, he couldn't be sure if this was a real sensation.
In reality, Saturn was talking to Imu.
"Saturn, what happened outside?"
Good heavens, they had been fighting all night, and only now did he remember to ask what was going on.
Your esteemed elder, you truly have excellent sleep quality.
If it were any later, these people might have already run to your doorstep.
Of course, Saturn naturally dared not be so presumptuous, and instead replied:
"Just some petty rascals and traitors."
Saturn's tone was also quite absurd.
At first, when the Gorosei knelt before Imu, it felt like they were in a state of complete subservience.
Later, this guy was researching ancient weapons and speaking without reservation in God Valley, making people feel that he had long harbored rebellious intentions.
"Imu, I don't want to hear the buzzing of insects anymore!"
Hearing Imu's words, Saturn remained unhurried:
"The immortal body you bestowed upon us has had its inhibition found by that traitor."
"The situation might develop in a worse direction."
It must be said that Imu's composure was truly high.
If it were Blake, he would probably be laughing in anger by now.
Last time, he said something more dangerous might be conceived, and this time the situation was going to get worse?
What use are you to me?
Imu was silent for a moment, then finally spoke slowly:
"Insects should have the awareness of insects!"
