One Piece: I am Imu

Who knew how much time had passed—or how many he had slain?

Alone, Madara broke through the outer defenses of the Soul Barrier and reached the interior of the Shinobi Sect.

There, he saw Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo slowly descending from the sky.

"Impressive."

Floating in midair, Hagoromo looked down at Madara—who wasn’t even winded—and offered praise.

But Madara didn’t care for the compliment, nor did he show reverence for Hagoromo’s identity.

Instead, his attention was drawn to the pair of Rinnegan in Hagoromo’s eyes.

Still, he chose to ask what he wanted most to know: "If you’re the Sage of Six Paths—then tell me: what is the World Government?"

"Very well."

Hagoromo agreed without hesitation.

He had already scanned the memories of many foreign spirits—

And learned quite a bit about the World Government and the King of the Dead.
