"Admiral Sengoku, what's going on here?" A rear admiral, who had followed along, was utterly confused. What is this? The house is 20 meters tall, and the walls inside are over a hundred meters high. Who designed this? Come, come, let me add a buff to your head!
"Is this the work of a user of the Building Fruit or the Maze Maze Fruit?" Sengoku's face darkened, but he quickly took action. Golden light appeared around his body, transforming him into a golden Buddha statue. Then, with a single step, he charged forward and punched the maze wall directly.
Boom!
A massive sound echoed as Sengoku stared at the wall in disbelief. Although he hadn't used his full strength, there was no way a wall should be able to withstand his attack! What kind of wall is this? Seastone?
"Admiral Sengoku!" The rear admirals quickly arrived.
Sengoku glanced at the rear admirals, gritted his teeth, and ordered, "Everyone, follow me! We must capture Roger!" How did they infiltrate? What is the Navy doing outside? Useless! Wait, I'm also outside… Sengoku's face grew darker, and he instinctively quickened his pace.
"Rimuru, someone has entered," Ramiris noticed their arrival the moment Sengoku entered. "How much longer?"
Rimuru glanced at Roger, who was now fully encased in a massive slime. All of his cells, except his brain, had been replaced. Rimuru had to admit, the poison inside Roger's body was incredibly dangerous, almost draining the last bit of his life force. Many of his cells had completely lost their vitality. The fact that Roger had managed to hang on for so long was nothing short of a miracle. Now, Rimuru used his God of Transformation ability to replace the damaged cells. Once Roger awoke, his strength would likely increase significantly. The only question was when he'd wake up, as the process of merging the mind and body takes time.
Rimuru swallowed Roger into his body and turned to Ramiris. "It's done! What's next?"
Ramiris gave a sly smile. "I think I'll go play with them for a bit~"
Rimuru sighed helplessly. "Don't go overboard."
"Got it." With that, Ramiris took off.
A magic circle appeared beneath Rimuru's feet. After a flash of light, he vanished.
Outside, the Navy was still fighting Milim. Although it was a one-sided beating, Milim was holding back, heavily injuring many but not causing any fatalities.
Garp was sent flying by Milim again, crashing through dozens of buildings before leaping out from the rubble, panting heavily. He looked at Milim, who was casually punching a rear admiral into the ground, and cursed, "What kind of monster is this!"
Suddenly, Garp felt a chill and quickly dodged. The sound of a building collapsing behind him signaled that another rear admiral had been knocked away.
Garp rewrapped his fists with Armament haki and charged forward.
Milim noticed Garp's attack and grabbed his fist. Just as she was about to deliver a punch, a ball of magma flew at her face.
Milim didn't dodge. She rammed her head straight into the magma.
Bang!
Milim emerged completely unharmed, while the magma exploded around her, injuring Sakazuki severely. Blood poured from the gaping wounds in his skin.
"Damn it!" Garp didn't like Sakazuki, but he didn't want to see the Navy being humiliated like this!
"Steel Fist—Bone Crushing Star!"
Garp unleashed his full power, and the space itself seemed to crack under the force of the punch. He struck with everything he had, aiming straight for Milim's stomach.
Milim was sent flying, crashing into the ground and sliding for hundreds of meters, causing the street beneath her to collapse.
Garp paused to catch his breath, only to look in disbelief at Milim, who was slowly walking out of the dust, completely unharmed.
Garp couldn't believe it. His full-powered punch, which could sink an island, had done nothing to Milim?
Milim looked at Garp with mild interest. The fact that he could send her flying, even though she took advantage of the situation, was still quite impressive. After all, she was a Demon Dragon, and with her immense magical power constantly reinforcing her body, she was one of the toughest in terms of physical strength among the Demon Lords, only slightly weaker than Rimuru.
"Hey!" Milim said. "I'm Milim, the Demon Lord Milim. What's your name?"
"Garp! Monkey D. Garp!" Garp shot her a look and said, "Just a regular Navy man. Are you here to rescue Roger?"
"Something like that. But Roger's already been rescued," Milim said nonchalantly. "By the way, do you want to be my subordinate? I can give you any treasure you want!"
Garp was taken aback but quickly shook his head firmly. "Sorry, I belong to the Navy. I just want to catch pirates who disturb the peace. As long as I can buy some donuts, I'm good."
"Is that so?" Milim's face showed some disappointment. "My best friend has a lot of strong subordinates. I'd like some strong ones too!"
"Best friend?" Garp furrowed his brow. "Who's your best friend?"
"Rimuru," Milim said proudly. "The best and the brightest in the world! He's not only strong but also very smart! He's the one who suggested rescuing Roger!"
"By the way, it's been a while, huh? Well, let's finish this battle now!" Milim said, and with that, she took off a ring from her hand.
Garp was skeptical. How could she finish the battle in an instant? He looked at the rear admirals, who had just recovered, and noticed Zephyr in the background. As for Sengoku, he had already passed out.
Then, at the moment Milim removed the ring, an overwhelming magical aura exploded from her, and everyone felt a terrifying pressure. All the rear admirals and lower-ranked soldiers collapsed to the ground!
Only Garp and Zephyr were left struggling to hold on!
