----------
Facing the unknown danger, Daichi retreated several steps, positioning the Revolutionary Army commanders behind him.
"You go—I'll cover you!"
"Huh?!"
The Army commanders were completely dumbfounded.
No one expected Daichi to hand them the task of leading the charge. The demonic woman in the sky clearly looked terrifyingly strong!
They should have known better than to come out.
Before the Army commanders could hesitate, Imu launched her first attack. A magic circle appeared out of thin air at the tip of her trident, and a black cannon barrel extended from within it.
"!!!"
Several cannonballs rained down!
"Quick, dodge!"
The Army commanders' expressions changed drastically, and they immediately scattered in all directions.
"BOOM BOOM BOOM!!!"
The ground roared with explosions, and flames shot into the sky. The destructive power was several times greater than ordinary cannonballs, making the Army commanders break out in cold sweat.
"Let's attack together!"
"Understood!"
No one knew what other tricks the demonic woman had up her sleeve. Letting her unleash her abilities unchecked was tantamount to surrendering the initiative completely.
Morley, the largest among them, raised his harpoon and thrust it toward the demon hovering in the air.
Imu calmly looked down at Morley, flapped her wings to dodge the incoming harpoon, then flipped her right hand open. A magic circle appeared above her palm, and a grimoire materialized from thin air.
The magic book opened, and white flames and black smoke billowed from its pages, quickly forming a giant shotgun.
Imu grasped the shotgun and aimed it at Morley below, pulling the trigger.
"BANG!"
"Ugh, aow!"
A bloody hole exploded in Morley's shoulder, and he collapsed painfully to the ground.
Imu lightly tapped the air with her finger, and the magic circle reappeared. "You sacrifice a portion of your lifespan to gain astonishing power and an immortal body. In exchange, you will become Imu's slave."
As her words fell, a massive magic circle emerged beneath Morley, sucking him into it.
This series of changes happened extremely fast, leaving the other Army commanders completely bewildered. They wanted to help Morley but didn't know how.
The magic circle absorbing Morley was surrounded by burning pale flames, clearly indicating it shouldn't be touched carelessly.
After a brief hesitation, Morley was completely absorbed into the magic circle—then quickly reappeared from it.
His original body, which had been over ten meters tall, was now tens of meters high. Demonic wings sprouted from his back, and horns and fangs grew from his head.
He closely resembled an ancient Giant.
Even the weapon in his hand had transformed from a harpoon into a demonic trident!
"Oh oh oh, such powerful strength!"
Morley roared, raising his trident. His gaze swept over his comrades on the ground, and he swung the trident without hesitation!
"Don't look at me with those eyes, you perverts!"
"Stop, Mori-boy!"
Ivankov shouted, but the next moment he was swept away by Morley's trident!
Behind the battlefield, Daichi's eyelids twitched.
"Hey, this is way too exaggerated."
Summoning giant cannons and weapons, forcibly binding people with demonic contracts, and even enhancing ordinary Giants into ancient Giants while granting them immortality...
Each of these abilities, taken alone, could be considered terrifying. Yet now they were all concentrated in one person.
And there might be even more unknown powers.
Good thing he didn't try to rush in recklessly.
"HEE-HAW!!!"
Ivankov also transformed into a demon!
"How did Iva-chan change too?"
Daichi was bewildered.
He hadn't seen Ivankov get hit by Imu, yet Ivan suddenly turned into a demonic okama while the other commanders remained unchanged.
What was going on?
What was the medium for signing the demonic contract?
Daichi stared at Imu hovering in mid-air.
He didn't believe such a convenient ability existed in the world. Morley and Ivankov becoming demons must have met certain conditions—otherwise, this ability alone would be enough to suppress the entire world.
He recalled everything that had just happened.
"Could it be... blood?"
Before Morley turned into a demon, he was shot in the shoulder by Imu's shotgun. Ivankov was also swept away by the demonic Morley's trident before transforming.
The commonality was getting injured first.
"!!!"
While he was thinking, countless nightmare monsters gathered behind Imu. Like the demonic Morley and Ivankov, they were also enhanced!
Like an abyssal legion!
Imu's calm gaze locked onto Daichi once more. "Submit to Imu, and Imu will bestow upon you everything you desire."
"Jiehahahaha!"
Daichi laughed loudly. "Little girl, what I want, you can't give—nor can you afford to give. Also, I prefer to seize everything I want with my own hands."
"Then you shall die."
Imu's gaze turned cold.
"GRAAAAOOO!!!"
The monsters roared and charged at Daichi.
Morley raised his demonic trident, wielding it like a massive axe and bringing it down toward Daichi.
"BOOM!!!"
The ground trembled violently, and a massive crack extended for hundreds of meters, showcasing the terrifying power of an ancient Giant.
Daichi appeared beside the trident, one hand pressing against its side. His gaze turned toward Ivankov charging from the other direction.
Crushed stones floated around him, then shot out like bullets.
"Puff puff puff puff!"
In the blink of an eye, Ivankov screamed and flew backward, his body riddled with holes. However, the punctured areas healed at a visible rate.
An immortal body!
"Iva-chan! Mori-boy!"
The other Army commanders rushed over anxiously, worried about Ivankov and Morley's safety, but they didn't know what to do.
"Daichi-san, please show mercy!"
Daichi ignored the Army commanders. He stepped onto the trident and rushed upward. When he reached Morley's arm, he suddenly leaped up, landing directly in front of Morley's face.
His fist was poised to strike!
"Destruction: Million-Ton Punch!"
"BANG!"
His fist slammed heavily into Morley's forehead, and black lightning spread everywhere!
Daichi's body leaned forward to gather power once more. His flexed arm bulged with veins as he pushed against Morley's head and unleashed a full-power strike!
"Fly!!!"
"BOOM!"
Thunder exploded!
Morley's massive body flew backward like a cannonball, crossing thousands of meters before crashing heavily into the sea.
"Eh?!"
The Army commanders' eyes bulged in shock.
Such a massive body was actually sent flying off the island with a single punch!
What immense power!
Daichi landed on the ground without the slightest hesitation. His legs tensed, and in an instant, he crossed a hundred meters. The high-speed movement tore a massive gully in the ground!
"Got you!"
His palm grabbed Ivankov's signature explosion hair!
Daichi swung his arm, twirling Ivankov's body faster and faster until it became a blur like a propeller!
Although Ivankov and Morley had gained immense power—with greatly increased size and strength—the loss of their rationality also made them lack combat judgment, making them easier to exploit.
The increased power of the two still couldn't compensate for the gap between them and Daichi!
Daichi faced the sea and violently flung Ivankov outward!
"Get lost!"
A meteor flashed across the sky and vanished!
"BOOM!!!"
Tens of seconds later, a huge splash erupted on the distant sea surface.
Both Ivankov and Morley were Devil Fruit users. Even if they turned into demons, they couldn't lose their Devil Fruit weakness—so seawater could strip them of their mobility.
Most importantly, both had signed demonic contracts with Imu and possessed immortal bodies, making it impossible to kill them directly.
He could only choose other methods to restrain them.
Daichi's eyes gleamed fiercely as he looked up at Imu.
"Now it's your turn!"
