Starting with Kengan beating up the Pirate King

Chapter 135 The Death of Im
Qinghai.

"This is Captain Yana of the Loguetown Naval Branch. All residents of Loguetown have withstood the first wave of the tsunami and completed the evacuation. They are now sailing towards the Kingdom of Crocus."

The waves are high, and the enormous sea king is still assisting the fleet. They are expected to reach the western port of the Kingdom of Crocas in seventeen hours.

On the warship, a somewhat disheveled Guo Yan was holding a Den Den Mushi (a type of electric telephone) and reporting the situation to the Navy Headquarters.

"Received. How is the damage?"

"Casualties were minor, with only a few marines seriously injured during the rescue efforts, but none are in life-threatening condition. Some individuals caused trouble amidst the chaos and have been dealt with. Property damage was significant; half of Rogge town was submerged, and reconstruction efforts will likely face challenges..."

"We can't worry about reconstruction right now. You've done a great job, Colonel Yana. It's getting dark soon, so please be careful while sailing at night and keep the public calm!" came the voice on the other end of the phone.

"Yes, I understand!"

Guo Yan hung up the Den Den Mushi, put the cigarette she was holding in her other hand into her mouth, and found that the tobacco tasted bad after getting damp, making her frown as she smoked it.

Looking out to the horizon, the sun had only its last rays shining on the sea.

It's getting dark, so we really need to be extra careful.

"Then, what is that?!"

"The sun... no, the moon?"

Is the world really going to end?!

Suddenly, a cacophony of panic reached her ears. She turned her head and saw that everyone around her was staring in alarm at... the sky?
She looked up at the sky, her eyes suddenly widening.

Today is the full moon. As the sun sets, the moon appears, but what hangs in the sky now is not that bright silver plate, but rather like a... burning heart!

Dark red covered the surface of the silver disk. It was not a gentle halo, but rather as if flames were burning fiercely on the surface of the moon. You could even see the subtle, pulsating expansion of light, like the pulse of the moon. With each beat, the crimson color deepened!
So, what is that?
It can't be...

Guo Yan had some guesses in her mind, but she couldn't believe it. What kind of power was this... to ignite the moon?!
……

The entire Qinghai province was gazing up at the moon in awe. And on the moon, Im was being burned by the raging flames, struggling and screaming in agony.

An hour into the battle, it had been burned to ashes by Guan Yi more than a dozen times. Its supreme Conqueror's Haki could not extinguish it. Its demonic body, which was tens of meters tall, had been burned down to less than five meters, becoming more and more like the size of an ordinary person.

We can't win, and we can't escape.

The man before them possessed power surpassing even Joy Boy. Im had unleashed every calamity imaginable, yet all he received in return were some negligible superficial wounds.

"It's not...the moon..."

"Why...why can't I find your hometown...why..."

Im didn't understand.

When they first started fighting Guan Yi, Im hoped that Guan Yi would establish a connection with the land of the moon, because there are now far too many people in Qinghai who are descendants of those people from the moon back then.

But it still isn't. Since the day they faced the threat from Guan Yi, Im has been searching for Guan Yi's origins for two years, but has yet to find them. Now, even the last option, the moon, has been ruled out.

Joy Boy and Davy Jones are immune to the fruit's special control, but what they are really concerned about is that they are 'homeless' and directly ignore its black dominance!
Im is truly out of options.

It knew that if things continued this way, it would eventually be burned to ashes. Now it had only one last option left: to stretch out the battle lines and spread Guan Yi's flames across half the moon. This was also a prelude to its final retreat.

When it was once again violently retreated under Guan Yi's invincible fist, it suddenly poured all its remaining power into its feet, and a magic circle with an extremely wide range extended under its feet!

At the same time, it pushed upwards with its claws, and a luminous object buried deep inside its chest was lifted into the sky—it was the artificial sun!
The artificial sun spun rapidly, and Guan Yi's fiery punch, which he threw again, was entangled by the airflow it generated and absorbed into its interior.

"Hmm? An amazing energy source, almost comparable to my plasma sphere, that is..."

Guan Yi's gaze swept over the artificial sun and the ground magic array, and he unleashed a burst of Conqueror's Haki, but this time he was unable to stop or destroy it.

The magic circle used by Im in front of him seems to be directly linked to the artificial sun. It is a product of the combination of technology and demonic power. Unless Guan intends to destroy the artificial sun, it is difficult to interrupt.

"Hmm... I'll come back."

"One day!"

hum-

As Im's sinister words fell, the artificial sun, which became the core of its power, spun even faster and grew brighter!

It is a product of the pinnacle of human technology, an immortal energy source, capable of transforming everything!

The flames scattered across the lunar surface were forcibly drawn and separated by the magic array, surging towards the artificial sun like rivers flowing into the sea! Its light became incredibly dazzling, and its internal energy index skyrocketed, reaching a critical point. Then, the artificial sun, extremely unstable after absorbing excessive flame energy, transformed all its energy—mixed with Guan Yi's supreme fire and its own primal energy—into a chaotic pillar of light that distorted spacetime, and slammed it fiercely towards Guan Yi!

Guan Yi dodged for the first time.

"Tsk-!"

The chaotic beam of light struck the sky, tearing a rift in space. It was no ordinary spatial rift! It was not an ordinary rift, but a churning, viscous portal of darkness, as if connecting to the source of all the origins in the universe.

More than 800 years ago, Im and Davy Jones mistakenly used an artificial sun, accidentally opening the Devil Gate and allowing Devil Fruits to appear in the world.

But for the demon Im, the place behind the Demon Gate is its home!

Human greed is endless.

"Someone will summon Mu again."

"One day, Mu will reappear in the corner of the sea as a Devil Fruit, with a new body! He must leave offspring, Flame Tiger! Mu will treat them the same way he treated David!"

The sinister threats and curses echoed, and Im's body transformed into a shadow, shielded by the endless energy of the artificial sun, drifting unstoppably toward the portal to the demon!
But it failed to notice that Guan Yi never lost his composure despite these changes.

He simply stomped his foot lightly, dispelling the Observation Haki that had been shrouding the battlefield, allowing someone who had been waiting for a long time to spread their Mind Web over!
"You were teleported to the moon, but guess how I got here, Im?"

A golden airship from the Sky Island, a proverb!

After the battle at Skypiea, that thing became Kaido's spoils of war, which he took back to Wano Country, and later naturally came into the possession of Kanjuro!
Powered by Enel's Rumble-Rumble Fruit, it is the only spaceship capable of flying into space!
Sensing Guan Yi's signal, Enel, who had been waiting for a long time, pouted unhappily, but his actions were decisive: "Hmph, I've been waiting impatiently for a long time!"

Divine Judgment - The Thunder Emperor is summoned!

His entire body erupted with lightning. The endless lightning did not condense into a giant pillar, but was compressed and shaped to the extreme, transforming into a lightning spear wrapped with billions of electric arcs.

But the core of this spear wasn't pure lightning. Inside that lightning spear was none other than Sabo, clad in black robes and enveloped in the all-consuming black mist of the Dark-Dark Fruit!
Enel used all his divine power to hurl the Thunderous Dark Spear, which carried Sabo, toward the direction indicated by the Flame Beacon, toward the Demon Gate that was about to close.

Speed ​​surpasses thought, even surpasses light. The darkness seals it off, and the end is utterly consumed!

Just a moment before Im's core essence was about to be absorbed into the gate—

"Dark Acupoints - Liberation!"

Sabo roared as he broke free from the Thunder Spear, transforming into a dark angel with outstretched wings, pressing his hands toward the edge of the Demon Gate!

"Om-!!"

The power of the Dark-Dark Fruit, the ultimate darkness capable of negating all demonic power and devouring all energy, erupted in full force! Thick, liquid-like darkness surged from Sabo's hands, instantly covering the entire Demon Gate!

The door that had been twisting and trying to accept Im was now like hot oil that had been doused with cold water, emitting a violent, painful hiss and becoming extremely unstable. The passage to the way home was forcibly blocked, interfered with, and closed!
thump—

Im fell to the ground.

The artificial sun's brilliance faded, and Guan Yi caught it in his left hand, while his right fist gathered a blazing white light.

"Well done, Sabo."

Sabo, covered in electric shocks and panting heavily, stared at the shadows on the ground and said, "Is this the kind of guy? He's ruled the world for eight hundred years?!"

For the dawn of a new era, Im, your ambitions must end here!

"No...no! How could this be?!"

"Davi! I curse you!"

"Mum is immortal!"

Im howled, and once again swelled into a demonic body tens of meters tall.

But it's all just a facade.

Guan Yi threw a punch, causing the flames to extinguish the darkness and pierce through the dark gate that had lost its energy support and was crumbling inch by inch, causing Im's illusion of dominating the world to vanish into nothingness.

The guiding patterns on my wrist instantly turned bright red and quickly transformed into gold!

"How could I let you get away? If you got away, would I have to start a new playthrough?"

At the same time, a magnificent will—the will of the secret realm—enveloped Guan Yi's body!
