Pangea Castle 2

Katahara and Ryu prepared for battle, while IM Sama stood up from his throne and prepared to face them. Katahara activated his Rinnegan, allowing him to see spiritual energy and use techniques such as the Susanoo, while Ryu focused on his Solar Breath, increasing his strength and speed.

IM Sama used his ability to create two spheres of dark energy and fired them at the two warriors, who were able to dodge thanks to their advanced Observation Haki, which helped them anticipate the attack. Katahara activated his Susanoo, creating a huge chakra armor around him. Ryu took advantage of the distraction to attack IM Sama with his sword, but the latter stopped the blow with one hand thanks to his ability.

IM Sama then released all the energy he had absorbed in a huge explosion, but Katahara used his Susanoo to protect him and Ryu from the impact. Ryu seized the opportunity to launch himself at IM Sama, trying to attack him with a series of quick blows.

Meanwhile, Susanoo created an energy sword and began attacking IM Sama.

The battle continued for hours, with the three warriors exchanging blows and techniques. Katahara used his Rinnegan ability to use gravity to his advantage and fired fireballs, while Ryu used his Solar Breath to increase his strength and speed to superhuman levels. IM Sama used his ability to create dark energy to counter everything, while counterattacking.

Finally, the battle reached a stalemate. None of the three had been able to defeat the others. The three warriors remained on guard, waiting for any movement from the other, but finally IM Sama spoke.

IM Sama: You have shown some power... But your fight ends here. I have other plans for this world, and I will not allow you to interfere... I'll play with you another time.

As he began to disappear from the place.

But at that moment, a strong wind entered the throne room, interrupting IM Sama, and out of nowhere, a long-range sword strike attacked him.

This sword strike came from Akagami No Shanks.

The sword strike managed to hit IM Sama, who fell to the ground.

Akagami No Shanks appeared suddenly.

Shanks: It seems I arrived just in time. Are you guys okay?

Katahara: You're the last ones to arrive...

Ryu: With your Observation Haki, you managed to injure him...

Katahara: I won't let you get away with hurting my comrades.

Im Sama: Dragon, I guess you were able to save Saint Carlota... Shanks, seeing you here surprises me. Are you really willing to raise your sword against your own people?

Katahara quickly moved forward, aiming to strike Im Sama with his Chidori, but Im Sama effortlessly dodged the attack.

Im Sama: Your lightning technique is impressive, but it won't be enough to defeat me.

Im Sama retaliated with a barrage of punches, each one striking with incredible force. Ryu, who had just gotten back on his feet, rushed in to help, but Im Sama easily knocked him back again.

Shanks and Dragon watched from a distance, assessing the situation. They knew that their combined strength might not be enough to take down Im Sama.

Shanks: We need a plan.

Dragon: Agreed. We can't just rely on brute force.

Katahara continued to engage Im Sama in a fierce battle, using his Rinnegan to predict his opponent's movements and his lightning-fast reflexes to dodge attacks. But Im Sama seemed to be one step ahead, countering every move with ease.

Suddenly, Shanks had an idea.

Shanks: Dragon, can you create a diversion?

Dragon nodded, understanding Shanks' plan. He unleashed a massive gust of wind, causing chaos in the area and forcing Im Sama to focus his attention on Dragon.

With Im Sama distracted, Shanks and Ryu rushed in to attack. Shanks used his Haki to enhance his sword strikes, while Ryu unleashed a flurry of punches and kicks.

Katahara joined the fray, using his Chidori to strike from a distance. Together, the four warriors launched a coordinated assault on Im Sama.

Im Sama narrowly dodged the attack in an attempt to counter-attack, but had to dodge again as a sword strike was already coming towards them. Akagami was standing in front of Im Sama with his Griffin, only for Im Sama to dodge once more..

Dragon launched wind blades, the pressure was such that the throne room began to collapse.

Akagami and Katahara were attacking Im Sama with powerful attacks, to which he responded with powerful punches covered in golden energy.

The attack of the two master swordsmen caused cuts that destroyed the throne room.

Ryu: Eleventh Stance: Solar Halo of the Dragon.

Im Sama turned to Ryu and unleashed multiple dark energy beams.

While Ryu moved to avoid his attacks and cut them multiple times to repel them until he reached Im Sama.

Who stopped his attack abruptly with both hands.

Im Sama: Nice try...

Katahara: Umbrageous Dragon.

Attacking from the side of Im Sama.

A huge black shadow dragon began to form as it headed towards Im Sama.

Akagami: Colossal Rip.

Im Sama saw the two attacks and launched a massive golden beam at Ryu, sending him flying and crashing into the wall.

Im Sama received Akagami's attack, defending against the powerful strike and counterattacking with a powerful golden punch, but did not have enough time to dodge Katahara's attack.

The enormous shadow dragon devoured Im Sama, who tried to defend himself as best he could.

When the dust settled, Im Sama had cuts all over his body while trying to stop Katahara's sword, which was at the edge of his neck.

Dragon appeared over Im Sama.

Dragon: Basilisk Impact.

He launched a powerful kick covered in King's Haki, which hit Im Sama squarely, causing black lightning to spread throughout the area.

Katahara: We're too much for you...

At that moment, Im Sama began materializing a huge rod.

Im Sama: You are the first to know first-hand about the "Rod of Changing Flames". Now, mortals, just die...

Katahara was surprised by what Im Sama said.

Katahara: Impossible... how did this get here?

Ryu: What the hell is wrong with you, Katahara? It's just a simple weapon.

But before he could say anything more, a huge black energy beam collided with Ryu.

Ryu tried to defend himself using his King's Haki and Armament Haki to the fullest, but it was in vain. The energy beam hit him with full force, sending him crashing into a pillar.

Akagami: Ryu...

As he began to attack Im Sama, who had created an energy shield to protect himself from all attacks.

Meanwhile, Dragon was attacking from a distance with powerful wind blades, with little success in destroying Im Sama's energy shield.

Katahara: System, analyze that Rod of Changing Flames, and tell me if it has Chaos Energy inside.

Katahara: Ranton: Photonic Cannon.

He began to create a huge cannon of black rays to launch at Im Sama.

[Analysis complete, the object known as "Rod of Changing Flames" is a product created in the Chaos Realm, or the "Immaterium". Its bearer, known as "IM SAMA", emits Chaos Energy, detected as being corrupted by the Chaos.]

Katahara: Shit... those four bastards' influence has reached One Piece... that damn Im Sama succumbed to the temptation of one of them.

Meanwhile, Im Sama's body began to radiate dark energy, as it crumbled little by little.

As the battle continued, the entire place was in complete chaos. Inside the castle, a battle erupted on a scale never seen before, while outside its gates, six people were facing the Gorosei, who showed no signs of losing.

The entire place was in chaos, with fire and screams in the air. You couldn't take a step without seeing a dead body.
