Alone and Infinite.

Chapter 645 The Great Treasure! Return!

Electricity crackled across the cold gun barrel, and Im's crimson eyes stared at Li Xia, as if he had something else to say.

But the gun blade had completely pierced her throat, rendering her unable to make any sound.

Li Xia didn't want to hear Im's last words, and he wasn't even surprised when Im's black robe was torn off, revealing a face that looked exactly like Vivi, the princess of the Alabasta Kingdom.

Of the twenty kings who were transformed from black, only nineteen kings emerged. The whereabouts of the remaining king is self-evident.

Im possessed Nefit D. Lily's body using his Devil Fruit power. As for why he possessed her, that's none of Li Xia's business.

He just needs to kill Im, collect the reward, and leave.

With Im's death, the Five Elders turned to look at this place, their expressions unusually complex, but in the end, they also remained silent as their life force was stripped away.

Their lifespan, sustained by Im's vitality, also came to an end in an instant.

Their bodies rapidly shriveled and dehydrated until they became like skeletons, and black flames rose up, burning their bones to ashes.

"Is it over?"

Covered in blood and panting heavily, Shanks blankly lowered his longsword. The battle had lasted a day and a night, and was pure torture in every sense of the word.

Even though Li Xia had done his best to push Im in another direction, as Im's life force decreased, she gradually went mad. The World Government's loyalists were desperately capturing ordinary people, marking them with slave badges, and transporting them to the Sabaody Archipelago.

A portion of the navy and revolutionary soldiers supporting the uprising continued to intercept them.

What made Li Xia even more upset was that Im kept trying to switch to black mode and control others, which caused changes on the battlefield. This was even after Luffy's Liberation Drum reduced the effect of switching to black mode.

If it's Luffy in the final battle, his Liberation Drum can actually break free from the Black Domination, which greatly reduces the difficulty.

But in any case, this battle is over.

The small red earth continent where Mary Geoise once stood was completely destroyed. The continent, which was originally ten thousand meters high, was now dented, just like a cookie that had been bitten in the middle.

Li Xia found a rock that looked good and sat down, then lit the pipe that Bilbo had given him.

This pipe was obtained from the first-tier Lord of the Rings world, and it's actually pretty much useless now, but Li Xia has kept it.

The Hall of Light before them flowed like water, and in the distance, great joy had erupted as everyone cheered for victory.

Only Li Xia sat quietly in the distance, seemingly oblivious to the joy of victory, simply smoking his pipe and staring at the prompt in front of him.

[Executioner, you have achieved the final victory in the war]

You have completed the final main quest: Heading Towards a Bright Future.

【处刑官，你已获得完美恶魔果实*3、世界通关凭证*1、命运颜料、10点属性点、1点升华技能点、神力精粹（小）*1】

[Settlement will be completed shortly, and you will return to the Hall of Light]

【conflict!】

[The Executioner is currently engaged in a special side quest in this world.]

[Executioner, should the mission settlement be delayed by 48 + 120 (reserve duty authority) hours?]

Li Xia casually nodded.

"Boss!"

Awoo and Black Charcoal charged over. Li Xia didn't let them participate in this battle. A pure war of attrition, coupled with Im's Black Transformation Domination, was extremely dangerous for pets and summoned creatures.

"That son of a bitch Im is really tough."

"Awoo!" he exclaimed, pointing to Luffy who was jumping on a rock with his hands raised high.
"They're planning a banquet, should we go?"

Li Xia shook her head: "No, let them celebrate as they please."

Looking at the joyful crowd, Li Xia found it hard to describe his feelings. After he left, the whole world would be reset, Im would sit on his throne again, and everything he had experienced in this world would be erased.

Now, the joyful smile will disappear from his face, Garp will forget him, and Luffy will still be drifting on the sea.

Their fates were like a pre-programmed sequence, running along a predetermined path, repeating endlessly, until they were gradually forgotten by people in reality.

Thus, the forgotten derivative worlds will come to a complete end.

"Let's go."

Li Xia stood up, glanced back at the crowd who were so engrossed in the revelry that they had forgotten everything, and then turned and left.

Aowu and Heitan exchanged a smile and hopped after their leader.

After taking only a few steps, Li Xia's ears twitched, but his body relaxed. The next instant, Ace and Sabo each put their arms around Li Xia's neck:
"Xia, where are you going, kid? Don't try to avoid drinking. We can't defeat Im without you!"

"Trying to avoid a victory feast is not something a brave seaman should do!"

Ace and Sabo pulled hard, dragging Li Xia towards the crowd, only to find that the previously laughing crowd had all fallen silent.

They stood in a row, and Karp stepped forward and punched Li Xia hard in the chest. He didn't say anything, but it was as if he had said everything.

Smiles gradually appeared on everyone's faces. Luffy grinned, showing off his big white teeth, and a oak wine glass magically appeared in his hand.

Where did that wine glass come from?

Li Xia looked at the drinks Kizaru handed him, and thought, "You're using light speed to move drinks, huh?"
"Everyone."

Luffy, hands on his hips, was laughing uncontrollably.
"The banquet is starting!!!"

With a hearty laugh, he turned on the global live stream again. At that moment, on every screen around the world, countless hands were also raising their glasses and stretching them towards the sky.

"Binks' wine, let's sing together!"

“Oh~~~~~~~~~”

Bring Binks' fine wine to your side

Like the sea breeze, riding the waves at will.

The sunset is also noisy on the other side of the sea.
The birds' songs drew circles in the air.
Goodbye, hometown of harbor silk

Let's sing a song, the song of departure.

The golden waves and silver waves also turned into splashing water.

We set out for the ocean.
"Xia, you really declined the position of Prime Minister in the coalition government?"

Nami, Usopp, and Chopper stood in a row, their faces covered in sweat, looking at Li Xia lying in the recliner.

"yes."

A gentle sea breeze caressed the deck as the Sunny bobbed slightly up and down with the waves in the azure sea.

The sunlight gilded the sea with a faint golden light, which, when stirred by the waves, turned into tiny fragments, looking like countless shimmering golden scales.

Li Xia had his hands behind his head, a navy hat perched on his face, and had changed into casual clothes. He was squinting, enjoying the sea breeze and sunshine, and even his voice had a rare touch of languor.

“I never wanted to be one. I’m more curious about the One Piece in Laugh Tale.”

The three of them stared, speechless with shock. This was the highest position in the new coalition government, comparable to the combined power of the Five Elders. How could they just give up such a position like that?
"Didn't Cocoleli say he could tell you what's in Laugh Tale? Isn't that enough to satisfy your curiosity?"

"But that would make life meaningless; life still needs fun."

Zoro and Sanji, who were also resting on the deck, smiled slightly, but Luffy stood up angrily:

"Let's make this clear first! Even if we reach Laugh Tale, you arrived on our ship! So I'm still the Pirate King!"

"Alright, alright, you'll definitely become the Pirate King."

Li Xia lifted the hat off his face and nodded to Nami:

"It's up to you, the navigator of the Pirate King."

Nami's face immediately lit up with a smile. She rolled up her sleeves, which were practically nonexistent, and said confidently, "Just you wait and see!"

Li Xia wanted to keep the hat on her face to rest, but when she looked down slightly, she saw Chopper's expectant gaze.

He tentatively said, "I'll have to rely on you too, the Pirate King's ship's doctor?"

Chopper's eyes instantly lit up, a blissful smile appeared on his face, and he began to sway from side to side. He turned around and said with extraordinary joy:

"You bastard, even if you praise me, I won't be happy!"

Li Xia:
[Executioner, you have arrived in Laugh Tale and obtained the One Piece.]

[Executioner, you have completed the special side mission: Heading to the finish line]

[Settle accounts and return to the Hall of Light?]

Li Xia ignored the prompts from the Hall of Light before him. Looking at the great treasure in his hand, he felt a strange sense of absurdity mixed with rationality.

Aowu and Heitan were completely dumbfounded, staring blankly at Li Xia and then at the Great Treasure.

"Boss's Great Secret Treasure"

Li Xia suddenly burst out laughing, and the sound grew louder and louder. The Straw Hat Pirates also laughed loudly, holding the One Piece in their hands.

"No wonder! No wonder Roger said they arrived early!"

They laughed until tears streamed down their faces, but they showed no sign of stopping; in fact, they laughed even harder.

Li Xia looked at the booklet in his hand; these were the great treasures buried in Laugh Tale.

That was a picture.

There are over a hundred such individual volumes, containing all the content of One Piece.

Author: Joy Boy
Amidst the laughter, Li Xia put the first volume into his personal space and looked up at the sky.

"return!"

[Executioner's orders have been received]

Everything around them slowly froze, and time stood still at that moment.

Luffy and his crew's smiles froze on their faces as their perspective rapidly rose, revealing a deep blue planet almost entirely surrounded by water, slowly rotating before their eyes.

The Executioner has completed the One Piece world.

Settlement will be processed soon.

Countless images suddenly flashed before Li Xia's eyes, rapidly rotating like a carousel, each scene so clear it seemed to have happened just yesterday.

From becoming an admiral, talking with Zeff, killing Whitebeard Jr., exchanging swordsmanship with Shanks, traveling to Alabasta, having hot pot at Shakky's restaurant, to confronting the Yonko Charlotte Linlin.
As the smoke of battle gradually dissipated from the ruins of Mary Geoise, traces of the battle remained on the foundations of the Red Line.

I was raising my glass with everyone else, and people were raising their glasses in every corner of the world.

Finally, all the images gradually converged, freezing on the shore of Laugh Tale.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, casting dappled shadows, and Luffy and his crew's smiles captured this most precious moment.

[The current derivative world timeline evolution is complete]

The Executioner has defeated the ultimate boss of this world: Im, the King of the World, and has arrived at the final island, Laugh Tale, and obtained the Great Treasure.

[Executioner, you have completed this derivative world. You will not be matched with players in this derivative world again.]

[The Executioner has been detected to have an extremely high level of involvement and wield the greatest influence in the current world.]

[Would you like to spend 100 Merit Points and 100000 Hall of Fame Points to preserve this world's timeline?]

[The time-space silhouette represents the time-space parameters at the moment the executioner leaves the world, which can be read by the Hall.]

Li Xia nodded:

"reserve!"

[Successfully retained; corresponding merit points and hall points will be deducted after settlement]

Welcome back to the Hall of Light!

Inside the enormous living room, a flash of white light appeared, and several figures descended from the open portal.

Li Xia and the three little ones, who were already familiar with the route, landed steadily on the ground.

"Wait a minute, I just remembered, it feels like I haven't seen the third brother in ages?"

Aowu looked suspiciously at Xiaotian, whose fur was smooth and shiny, and who seemed to have gained a lot of weight, and asked curiously:

"Third brother, where have you been?"

Xiaotian tilted his head and stuck out his tongue:

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"You little brat, you've been hiding on Zou's back, eating from the beginning until now?? Without a single break?"

"Woof! (Never stopped!)"

Li Xia listened to the three children's commotion with a faint smile on her face, but her hands did not stop moving.

A series of flashes of light appeared, and the most exciting moment had arrived!
Let's take stock of what we've learned!

1. Monthly pass 2. Recommendation vote

One Piece is finally over. I'm actually quite sad to finish writing it.
