One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 283 New Hegemony (Finale)

Although he has lived in this world for more than ten years, Rhodes does not have a strong sense of belonging to this world.

What happened to this world in the past was not important to him.

Rather than figuring out the grudges of the past, he wanted to figure out the future of this world.

"There is one thing you haven't explained yet."

Robin's eyes sparkled with wisdom.

As O'Hara's orphan and the only remaining archaeologist in the world, she knows the most about history among everyone.

"Who the hell are you!"

"The name Im is the name of a king who founded the World Government eight hundred years ago, and your face now is exactly the same as a princess I know, who is the princess of the Alabasta Kingdom where Queen Lily lived eight hundred years ago.
So, what is your identity, Queen Lily from eight hundred years ago, or Yim?"

"navy!"

Without answering Robin's question, Im suddenly turned his head and looked at several navy officers led by Sengoku.

"As a navy, are you going to just sit there and watch a pirate openly invade the World Government?!"

"Oh my, that's scary."

Kizaru raised his hands high.

"Please spare me. I am no match for this monster."

Kizaru knew a thing or two about the power of the Five Elders.

However, all five of them were now lying on the ground.

Not only that, even the powerful men of the Knights of God were all killed.

Although they didn't know how Rhode did it, whether it was the scene they saw at the Navy Headquarters before or the situation they saw now in Mary Geoise, they all pointed out one thing, that is, the power Rhode now possessed was far beyond their cognition.

Even the most powerful admiral in the navy would probably not be able to resist the opponent at all.

Karp picked his nose and said nothing.

Vice Admiral Tsuru and Sengoku remained silent. No one knew what they were thinking, but looking at the complicated expressions in their eyes, it was obvious that their hearts were not as calm as they appeared on the surface.

"Really? That's not very cooperative."

Seeing that the other party was still resisting, Rhodes shook his head helplessly.

The next moment, Rhodes appeared in front of Im, a black slash flashed past, blood splattered, and a broken arm flew up.

Rhodes grabbed Im's severed arm with anticipation in his eyes.

"Sure enough, it's not possible."

According to the judgment of [Knights Do Not Die Unarmed], Im's arm cannot be called a weapon, and Rhodes did not master the opponent's fusion domineering as he wished.

"asshole!"

It was not until his arm fell from the air and was caught by Rhodes that Im reacted. A trace of anger flashed across his face, but his body retreated violently in an instant.

However, although he tried his best to retreat, Im knew clearly in his heart that he had nowhere to escape.

Even the power of the king of heaven could not do anything to the other party. This guy's power had completely exceeded the limits of his understanding.

"Really? Since you won't cooperate, I'll have to do it myself."

Rhodes' figure appeared directly beside Im, put his hand on the other's shoulder, and stopped him from retreating.

"Do you think it makes sense to control the distance in our battle?"

The next moment, the knife flashed and pierced through Im's neck, nailing him to the ground.

"Just like this, I can appear by your side at any time if I want."

Looking at Im's unwilling eyes, Rhodes pulled out his sword and wiped it on the other's gorgeous clothes.

"So···"

Rhodes turned around and looked at the navy and pirates who were witnessing the incident.

Peng~~
Just as Rhodes turned around, a thick black gas suddenly burst out from Im's body and transformed into the shape of a hideous demon in mid-air.

While Rhodes had his back to the opponent, the ferocious demon shrouded in black air pounced on him with bared fangs and claws.

"Succeeded!!"

The moment it came into contact with Rhodes, a sharp sound suddenly erupted from the black air.

"Although I have lost Lily's body and cannot control the power of Hades, as long as I can occupy your body and control your power, it doesn't matter even if I lose Hades!"

After the black gas touched Rhodes, it quickly merged into his body through his skin. However, in a flash, the black gas was completely integrated into Rhodes' body. A hideous figure appeared behind him, and bursts of crazy laughter came out of his mouth.

“This power is amazing!”

"How can humans strengthen their bodies to such an extent? It's incredible!"

"As long as I have this kind of power, no matter who it is, I will never be my opponent! This world will always be under my control!"

The black air twisted in the air, expressing the excitement in its heart.

Once upon a time, he thought that as long as he mastered the two great weapons of Uranus and Pluto at the same time, he would be able to control the world forever.

However, weapons have a service life.

Both Uranus and Pluto were severely damaged in the war that year. Pluto is still unusable, and every use of Uranus comes at a huge price.

Although he holds the highest authority over these two weapons, over the years, Im has relied more on his own strength to rule the world.

However, it will not be necessary in the future. The body he occupies now contains enough power to completely control the world!

"Rod!" "Oh no!"

“Not good…”

Although no one knew what had happened, the scene before their eyes made everyone know that something terrible seemed to be happening.

The members of the Rod Pirate Group looked at Rod, who was shrouded in black fog, with worry in their eyes.

No matter how you look at it, the situation in front of Rhodes is not good.

"You mean, after you master my power, no one will be your opponent, right?"

Rhodes' voice suddenly rang out in the black fog.

"So, when did you first develop the illusion that you had taken over my body?"

Rhodes opened his eyes, his sharp gaze penetrated the black fog, and a distorted figure was reflected in his eyes.

It was a face that barely maintained a human shape, with a distorted appearance, as if it was formed by countless faces gathered together.

"how come!"

The black shadow, or Im, let out a terrified sound.

The power he controls can easily defeat a person's soul and integrate it into himself, while he himself takes over the other person's body and acts in the other person's identity.

Especially when dealing with Devil Fruit users, he is always successful.

After all, he and the devil fruit share the same origin, and he has a natural familiarity with the power contained in the devil fruit.

However, in front of this Rhodes, he was defeated again and again.

It was not until Rhodes made a sound that he suddenly realized that although he had entered the opponent's body, he had not been able to defeat the opponent's soul, let alone absorb the opponent's soul.

"You haven't forgotten, have you? I am the user of the Soul-Soul Fruit. How could your soul possibly be my opponent?"

"Stop talking nonsense, even the Soul-Soul Fruit can't do this!"

In the soul space, Im looked at Rhodes' soul that appeared in this world with horror.

That was a soul that had completely solidified into substance, which was completely different from his misty soul.

"Who knows."

Rhodes said perfunctorily and looked at Im's current condition.

"But this is the answer to the question Robin asked earlier."

Yim's face looked ugly, and his misty body was shaking violently.

He was one of the original twenty kings who founded the World Government, Imsei.

Also the kings of all twenty countries who created the world government!

In that war, the twenty countries led by Im Sheng finally won.

They defeated the great kingdom, expelled those who followed the will of [D], and established the current World Government.

After the establishment of the World Government, in order to express the idea of ​​​​the twenty countries jointly governing the world, they set up a void throne, and no one sat on that throne.

However, Yim became the master of this throne.

Because he is not just one person, he represents all the kings!

The unknown technology that was born in the great kingdom not only produced products such as devil fruits based on human imagination of their own evolution, but also gave birth to a being that could truly be called a devil based on the various malice collected from humans.

During the war, the devil awakened within Imsheng, granting him great power, enough to take on even the largest kingdoms.

The existence of the devil has enabled Imsheng to make great progress in the development of his own devil fruit abilities. With the power of the devil fruit developed to the extreme, he can do many miraculous things.

After the war, the royal families of the twenty countries all moved into the holy land of Marijoa, because their bloodline factors were the key to activating the Heavenly King.

And Im Saint used the power of the [Surgery Fruit] to perform an immortality surgery on Queen Lily, who controlled [Pluto].

After his success, he seized Queen Lily's body and thereby gained the highest authority of Pluto.

At this point, both Uranus and Pluto, these two weapons, are in the hands of the World Government, or in other words, in the hands of Im.

Yim finally became the real master who controls this world.

However, as time passed, [D]'s will gradually awakened.

Not only did the world fail to remain stable as Im had originally expected, but it became increasingly unstable.

One after another, [D] emerges from all over the world and frequently appears on the world stage.

Every time they appear, they bring some changes to the world.

And those changes accumulated together, and as they accumulated more and more, they finally created waves around the world.

However, Im never imagined that the one who finally turned this wave into a roar that overturned the world was not [D] whom he had been worried about, but a completely unrelated person, Nott Rod.

"If this is your last resort, bye bye."

A powerful force burst out from Rhodes' body, and the powerful soul force instantly tore Im's soul apart. Accompanied by an unwilling wail, it completely turned into black smoke and dissipated.

As Im disappeared, the Five Elders, who had been defeated by Rhodes and were kneeling on the ground, suddenly let out a wail. Their bodies aged in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into skeletons and lost all signs of life.

"It's completely over."

The Five Elders, who represented the highest power of the World Government, disappeared in an instant, and Im, who held the highest power of the World Government, was reduced to ashes.

The world government that once ruled the world and held world hegemony finally came to an end at this moment.

This also means the establishment of a new hegemony!
