· On the Elbaf battlefield, Luffy fights Imu in his Gear 5 form, but his attacks are blocked by Imu's dark energy and unpredictable defensive capabilities.
· Luffy freely transforms his body and attempts various attacks, but Imu's defense absorbs and nullifies Luffy's attacks like an invisible wall.
· Imu shows no signs of being shaken while blocking Luffy's attacks, and Luffy realizes that Imu's power is not just simple defense but a peculiar ability that seems to absorb attacks.

· Imu recalls Joy Boy from Luffy's appearance. Joy Boy spoke of freedom, dreaming of a world where all races could sit equally at the table, unbound by lineage or status.
· Imu considers Joy Boy's ideals an insult to the nobility and views freedom as a cause of chaos. He believes a world without rulers cannot be stable, and seeing Luffy smile like Joy Boy reignites his suppressed rage.
· Imu aims not just to defeat Luffy but to completely crush the very existence of Joy Boy trying to revive within Luffy.

· On another battlefield, Zoro engages in a fierce battle with Summer. Despite numerous slashes, Summer instantly heals his wounds with incredible regenerative power and remains unfazed.
· Zoro feels frustrated that his attacks are ineffective and recognizes how troublesome an opponent Summer's overwhelming regeneration makes him. The longer the battle drags on, the more disadvantageous it becomes for Zoro as his stamina depletes.
· Summer provokes Zoro, stating that due to the power granted by Imu, Zoro's attacks cannot reach his 'soul.'

· Zoro judges that ordinary slashes won't lead to victory and recalls the words of Momonosuke. Momonosuke said that when the Roger Pirates fought the Holy Knights in the past, what allowed them to break through their regeneration was not special weapons or tactics, but 'Conqueror's Haki.'
· Zoro realizes that only the powerful Conqueror's Haki, which overwhelms the opponent's will, can inflict true wounds on those empowered by Imu.
· Zoro vows to fight with everything he has, channeling the will cultivated through his training to become the world's greatest swordsman.

· As Luffy continues to get up and attack, Imu's composure gradually fades, and his rage intensifies. Imu becomes even more furious as he sees Joy Boy from his memories in Luffy's persistence.
· Imu walks towards Luffy, intensifying the dark energy surrounding him, and a black spear of unknown form, 'Void,' appears in his hand.
· The pressure emanating from Void signals a danger on a completely different level than before, and Imu appears before Luffy in the blink of an eye, pointing his sword.

· Imu's sword, 'Void,' pierces Luffy's body, inflicting a critical wound in his abdomen. This scene recalls the moment he was struck by Crocodile, but Imu was far more terrifying.
· Despite the pain, Luffy tries to grab and pull out Void's blade, but Imu looks down at Luffy with eyes filled with rage instead of caution.
· Imu mocks Luffy, saying he is not Joy Boy and not as strong as Joy Boy. Chapter 1188 of One Piece concludes with these words.
