Chapter 55 Suprime King's.
Ren laughed, "Tough luck. Monkey King never bows to anyone. So how about you come out?"
"Do you even know who you are talking to?" St. Saturn said, looking angrily at Ren, while the other elders also glared at him with displeasure.
Nusjuro drew his blade. "You dare speak like that?" They all shifted into their beast forms, their presence growing heavier with each passing second.
Ren, Yamato, and Hancock grinned, facing the five elders head-on. "Oii, black-haired idiot, let's see who takes down their enemy first."
Hancock smirked. "You are on, white-haired stupid girl." Garp stood there speechless, unsure whether to call it bravery or pure insanity.
Just then, laughter echoed. "Garp, don't look at the kids with common sense. Every one of them is a monster."
Everyone turned to see an old man sitting casually on a mangrove tree, drinking. Nusjuro narrowed his eyes. "What are you doing here, Silvers Rayleigh?"
Yamato was already done waiting. "I will be going first!" She launched at Nusjuro, kanabo in hand, her battle spirit blazing.
"Humph, a stupid girl who doesn't know what's good for her," Nusjuro said as he shifted into his beast-human form and swung his blade.
Yamato's kanabo crashed into him, black lightning of advanced armament erupting violently as Nusjuro was pushed back. "Come on, I'm not done yet!"
Hancock shot forward at Topman, her leg crackling with advanced armament haki. Topman charged in his beast form, head coated in haki.
They clashed, armament cracking violently in the air. Hancock was pushed back slightly, her eyes sharpening.
Ren shouted, "Oii, wrong opponents! Yamato, take care of the boar. Hancock, deal with the skeleton horse!"
Yamato and Hancock immediately switched targets mid-battle. Hancock's kick, coated with her DF and advanced haki, met Nusjuro's blade.
Nusjuro blocked with precise armament, ensuring her leg never touched him directly. Sparks of haki exploded between them.
Meanwhile, Yamato's kanabo came crashing toward Topman's Fengxi form. He charged head-on, forehead coated in haki, colliding with her attack.
Mars suddenly dove down from the sky in his Itsumade form, aiming straight for Shirahoshi. A golden staff intercepted him instantly.
Ren grinned. "You like ganging up, right?" He plucked his hair and blew on it, forming six clones, each holding a golden staff and riding Nimbus.
"Well, experience being ganged up," all the clones said in unison as they spread across the battlefield.
Saturn, Peter, and Mars found themselves facing two clones each. Saturn scoffed, "If you think these clones can keep us occupied—"
He stopped mid-sentence as a staff slammed into his head, coated in advanced armament, denting and exploding it.
"You talk too much, old man," the clone said, clicking his tongue. "And you are more disgusting than a cockroach."
Saturn's head regenerated instantly, but the clones continued attacking without pause. Meanwhile, Peter tried to burrow underground in his sandworm form.
A clone slammed his staff into the ground, sending vibrations through it and forcing Peter back out. Another clone struck him, launching him into the sky.
Both clones chased him on Nimbus, striking repeatedly and not giving him a moment to recover.
Mars was also surrounded by two clones in the sky, both attacking relentlessly as he tried to maneuver in his Itsumade form.
Gunko remained standing in front of Ren's real body. Garp watched everything, his mouth twitching as only one word came to mind—"monsters."
Ren looked at her. "Hey, do you remember Brook?" Gunko blinked, the name stirring vague memories deep inside her.
Suddenly, her aura shifted. Demonic wings formed behind her, and a heart-shaped demonic tail appeared.
"What did you say to Gunko?" a different voice spoke, causing both Garp and Rayleigh to stiffen instantly.
Ren grinned. "So you finally decided to talk, Imu?"
"How do you know about Mu? Who are you?" the voice demanded coldly.
Ren smiled. "I'm the anomaly. A man unbounded by fate. The Monkey King, equal to heaven."
"Bold words for a mortal," Imu scoffed. Ren's grin widened. "Why did you think you were the only immortal?"
Imu froze for a brief second. Ren immediately entered his beast-human form and rushed forward, swinging his staff coated in conqueror's haki.
Sensing his haki, Yamato and Hancock also activated their conqueror's infusion while clashing with their opponents.
Nusjuro, Topman, Saturn, and Mars responded in kind, releasing their own conqueror's haki.
Multiple clashes erupted across Sabaody, blood-red lightning shooting into the sky as it split into fragments.
A black trident appeared in Gunko's hand, now fully possessed by Imu. Coated in conqueror's haki, it met Ren's golden staff.
On the frozen sea, Kuzan and Bogard trembled as they looked back toward Sabaody. "What is happening?" Bogard whispered in horror.
Kuzan stared, disbelief written across his face. "So many supreme king haki users?" Sweat formed on his forehead.
"No wonder Garp-san ordered us to leave immediately," he muttered under his breath.
Just then, they saw a red dot flying toward them. Both spoke at once, "Sakazuki?"
Back on Grove 15, the area had been completely destroyed by the overwhelming clashes of conqueror's haki.
Shirahoshi stared at the battlefield below, her eyes wide as Hancock and Yamato pushed Nusjuro and Topman back.
Ren's clones kept Mars, Peter, and Saturn busy, while Ren himself fought the transformed Gunko.
Everyone had been forced to create distance from Ren and Imu's clash due to its sheer intensity.
"They are amazing… Ren, Hancock, Yamato. I will become stronger like you all," Shirahoshi said, her eyes burning with determination.
Her gaze shifted toward the frozen sea as Nimbus gently carried her in that direction, away from the battlefield.
