One Piece: Lord of Disaster.

Chapter 351 Joy Boy and Im! Further Evolution!
If Im was the first true world ruler in history, then Davy Jones was the man who came closest to that position before her.

That man not only possessed unparalleled personal strength, but also controlled world-destroying biological weapons.

In that era, no one could stop him; in a short period of time, he enslaved most of the world.

Until the first true rebel stood up.

The man named Joy Boy initially set sail simply for his own freedom, but he seemed to be born extraordinary, repeatedly defeating wave after wave of Davy Jones's forces that came to capture him.

In a short period of time, the name Joy Boy had become known throughout the world.

Gradually, he became a banner, a banner against the tyranny of Davy Jones.

According to Joy Boy's own account, during that period, everyone was watching him, as if he had become the hope of all the people in the world enslaved by Davy Jones.

Finally, David Jones's gaze fell upon him.

It was a crushing defeat.

The inexperienced Joy Boy was almost powerless against Davy Jones, who came riding a dragon, and he was nearly killed that time.

But like the protagonists of all legendary tales, Joy Boy not only survived but also gained even greater power.

He was rescued by the surviving Bica people.

Although the nation established by the Bica people was destroyed by Davy Jones, the people themselves were not destroyed as a result.

They were quietly gathering their strength, plotting revenge against Davy Jones.

And they coveted the power that Joy Boy possessed.

So the two sides hit it off immediately.

Joy Boy received new power from the Bica people.

It was a fruit with special powers, which the people of Bika called the Rubber Fruit.

Although the Bica people's country was destroyed by Davy Jones, they did not leave empty-handed.

In fact, they not only took away a large amount of fruit, but they even took the Heavenly King with them.

Thus, Joy Boy, now empowered, joined forces with the people of Bicah, who had resurrected the King of the Sea, and a revenge campaign against Davy Jones began.

This time, even someone as powerful as Davy Jones couldn't be as arrogant as before.

Although he still held the upper hand with his unparalleled personal strength, the world also realized that the man could also be defeated.

More and more people rallied around Joy Boy, and one nation after another began to join them in fighting against Davy Jones.

The most crucial of them were the giants from Elbaf.

Elbaf is the true name of the original sun god. The man who saved the world in the previous era became the god of Elbaf and was revered by the giants for generations.

Because of that man's relationship with the Bika people, Elbaf and the Bika have had a close relationship for generations.

So when Joy Boy and the Bicca officially went to war with Davy Jones, the Giants Kingdom responded immediately.

The giants' fighting prowess is certainly crucial for the upcoming war, but even more important is the existence of the Great Hammer Chapter!

It was an organization composed of giants with exceptional shipbuilding skills.

Because the battle was at a stalemate, the Bica people decided to build another weapon that could rival the Heavenly King in order to completely turn the tide!
So, the Great Hammer Legion, together with a group of human shipwrights, built a ship in the city of Water City.

The ship's name was Pluto, which was later known as the ancient weapon Hades!

With the addition of another weapon capable of destroying the world, and the legendary mermaid princess who joined their ranks because of Joy Boy, the balance of power between the two sides has been completely reversed.

More importantly, perhaps because everyone in the world was hoping for Joy Boy's victory, the second generation of the sun god was born amidst everyone's prayers.

This means that David Jones's most prized individual skill has now been surpassed by Joy Boyle.

David Jones was forced to retreat in defeat.

Soon, the whole world was liberated.

The evil kingdom built by Davy Jones was completely destroyed, and the invincible black dragon was captured by Joy Boy and his companions.

Davy Jones, the man who was just one step away from becoming the King of the World, has become a stray dog.

Interestingly, he, like Joy Boy, who had narrowly escaped death, also became a pirate.

But unlike Joy Boy, he is the most notorious pirate.

The man owned a ship capable of sailing on the deep sea continent, so even Joy Boy and the Bica people couldn't catch him.

Even after being completely defeated, he still did not give up his ambition. Even after becoming a pirate, he continued to plunder everywhere without restraint.

The game Davy Back Fight, which has survived to this day, was born during this period.

But no matter how much trouble David Jones caused, the world did indeed return to order.

The various races that had come together to fight against Davy Jones were united like never before, and they eventually formed a vast kingdom.

In this country, all races can live in harmony, and the development of science and technology is not hindered in any way.

Everything seemed to be heading towards a bright future.

Then one day, someone who had once fought alongside Joy Boy against Davy Jones found Davy Jones.

Driven by his sinister ambitions, a man named Narona Im wants to cooperate with this legendary deep-sea pirate.

Yes, Im was originally a follower of Joy Boy.

Legend has it that the twenty kings who created the World Government initially united around Joy Boy to fight against the evil Davy Jones.

Now, two evil forces have joined forces, and the world is about to be thrown into turmoil once again.

They first deceived Zunesha, who was entrusted by Joy Boy to guard the End Dragon, and the giant robot Emmett, thus refreeing the End Dragon and gaining power sufficient to contend with the ancient weapons in Joy Boy's hands.

Then, David Jones openly resumed the war against Joy Boy and his men, while Im remained hidden beside Joy Boy, waiting for his chance to strike.

Because of Im's secret sabotage, the battle became extremely intense.

A turning point came when Im seemed destined to receive the abilities that belonged to him.

If Nika's power was born from the prayers of the masses, then Im's power was born from the entanglement of countless evil thoughts during the war.

The most evil power in history then completely changed the course of the world.

David Jones was betrayed by Im.

That guy was controlled by Im and began to wreak havoc on the world.

Even if he couldn't win the war, he would at least make the whole world pay for it, that's what David Jones said.

Joy Boy was once driven to the brink of despair.

And the one who steps forward to save the world at this moment is Im.

That guy proudly proclaimed to the world, holding up Davy Jones's head, that he had saved the world, and even the Dragon of the End had been moved by him and willingly followed him.

Thus, the guy named Im became a great hero in the eyes of the world.

Joy Boy was initially pleased, feeling he had gained new companions. Im even rose to a high position in that vast kingdom, becoming one of the leaders of human society.

But soon, something strange happened.

Joy Boy's companions began to inexplicably get into conflicts with other countries.

Once or twice is fine, but as the number of times increases, the conflict begins to accumulate.

In particular, many of Joy Boy's companions were not human, and were naturally rejected by humans.

Im was also subtly and overtly manipulating public opinion against Joy Boy and his associates.

The world began to grow increasingly restless, and rumors started circulating that Joy Boy wanted to become the next Davy Jones and conquer the world.

Until one day, someone witnessed one of Joy Boy's companions killing the king of a country and destroying the country in the process.

The powder keg was completely detonated.

Joy Boy is determined to protect his companions, but the kings, represented by Im, will not allow it.

And so, war broke out again.

In the early stages of this war, Joy Boy did not actually want to fight Im and the others; he was only focused on explaining himself.

But it's meaningless; only those who wronged you know how wronged you are.

Im even took the opportunity to seize almost all of the treasures of the Uranus and the Bica people from Joy Boy, including a large number of Devil Fruits, and formed an unprecedented army of Devil Fruit users.

The tide of war then began to turn in Im's favor.

By the time Im's offensive became too fierce and Joy Boy was forced to fight back, it was already too late.

The situation has completely turned one-sided, and there is no longer any possibility of victory.

It was only at this point that Joy Boy realized who was behind it all.

But by this time, everything had already settled down.

Joy Boy could only hide everything away on the final island, wanting to entrust the responsibility of changing the world to those who came after him.

He himself was preparing to go and fight Im in the final battle.

It should be said that even at the last moment, Joy Boy's power completely surpassed Im's, and he almost single-handedly killed Im.

But there's nothing I can do, Im is really despicable.

He threatened Joy Boy with this world, saying that if Joy Boy did not surrender, his ancient weapons would destroy the world completely.

With no other option, Joy Boy died in this ridiculous way.

His companions were either dead or had already fled.

Forced to return to the deep sea, the mermaid princess cursed Im and all his powerful followers, forbidding them from ever conquering the ocean.

Originally, this so-called curse was meaningless; it was the impotent rage of the losers.

But there's nothing we can do; after all, the Little Mermaid is the queen of all sea kings.
When she uttered the curse, all the sea kings joined in the curse.

Just as when the Nika fruit was born, the prayers of all beings changed everything.

As a result, all the fruits were cursed by the sea, and all the ability users became landlubbers.

It was only after that that the name "Devil Fruit" was truly born.

Everything seemed to have settled down just like that.

That concludes the information left by Joy Boy; the rest was likely added by Joy Boy's companions.

But Roya also knew that this was not the end of the story.

After Im thought everything had settled down, Queen Lily sensed something else.

She gradually uncovered the truth and traveled to Wano Country to help the ancestors of the Kozuki family send the completed Poneglyphs to all parts of the world.

This is what truly leaves hope for the world.

As for Queen Lily herself—

"Ha ha!"

Roya gripped the sword with both hands, various elemental currents surging and turbulent on the blade, and slammed the blade into Im's claws.

The heavens and earth continued to rumble as the two clashed.

"How's it going, Im?"

Roya burst into laughter, "Am I stronger than Joy Boy and Davy Jones back then?!"

"Shut up!!"

The monster's roar, which was somewhat distorted in shape, sounded like thunder in the sky.

"Go to hell! Roya!! Go to hell!!"

With a push of her left hand, several pentagram magic circles bloomed in front of her palm, and from between these magic circles, a black turbulent current suddenly surged toward Roya.

"Wow, how amazing! Is this really not magic?"

Roya suddenly swung his longsword forward, and the elemental turbulence wrapped around the blade also transformed into a beam of light that shot out.

The two incredibly powerful forces collided once again, and a towering black sun erupted in the sky once more!
"Damn it!!"

The great demon gritted his teeth.

Even she had to admit that the Roya before her was stronger than Joy Boy back then!

After all, in these eight hundred years, her own power has also grown stronger, while Roya is still able to fight her to a standstill!

How is that possible!
How could it be so strong?!

The black sun was suddenly pierced through the middle, and Roya flew in, flapping his wings. "Is that all? Im! Is this all the power you have left?!"

"Roya!!"

Im was at a loss for words and could only roar out Roya's name.

Numerous black tentacles shot out from her body, raining down on Roya like a storm.

Roya laughed heartily and swung his sword to defend himself, but not a single tentacle could touch him.

"It seems this is your limit."

While fending off Im's attacks, Roya laughed and said, "If you include the possessed state, you only have three forms. How embarrassing."

"Fine, since that's how it is, let's end it all."

Roya raised the corners of his mouth. "Watch closely, the evolution is about to begin!"
