No kidding, even Rocks would have to offer me a cigarette.

And the letter D was specially left in the names of these people to help them identify themselves!

This is also the origin of why those people born with special missions in later generations have the letter "D" in their names.

Im Sheng, naturally, didn't disappoint the guy who was always grinning, despite Joey Boy's distrust.

After successfully gaining control of Uranus, the King of the Sky, Im used various insidious schemes to manipulate 19 powerful kings in the Great Kingdom, and then re-established an organization that wanted to rule the world and oppose Joy Boy.

That is, the world government that now rules the entire world.

Upon learning that his family had betrayed the vast kingdom of Nefertari due to Im's scheme, he resolutely left the corrupt World Government after the war, choosing instead to live a life of wandering far from home and refusing to use his so-called World Noble status.

This is why there are only 18 families in the world government, which is composed of 20 kings.

This is because they have directly eliminated Im Saint and Queen Lily, who was in control of the Nefertari family at the time.

However, Im, who had just gained control of the world, would naturally not want Queen Lily, such a powerful and extremely unstable factor, to leave his control.

Therefore, Im immediately used the terrifying power of the Heavenly King to instantly defeat Queen Lily and then preserved her body.

As for the remaining members of the Nefertari family, they were completely ignored and exiled to an island filled with harsh desert conditions, left to fend for themselves.

After learning about the epic war from 800 years ago through the inscribed stone tablets, Locus also paid special attention to the most unique way Uranus, the king of the gods, was used.

That is the ability to forcefully supply energy to the deepest human cells through powerful energy, thereby achieving immortality!

The reason he chose to relentlessly try to seize the position of world king after becoming the world's overlord was that he wanted to become a true immortal through this terrifying weapon!

"Look at this! These corpses on the ground are so strange! How come they look like they were drained of blood in an instant and turned into mummies?"

"Is this some kind of bizarre Devil Fruit ability? It can forcibly suck blood from corpses? That's terrifying, like a vampire..."

"You guys think... the thing absorbing all this blood isn't one of those 19 frozen corpses on Mary Geoise...?"

.....

Chapter 136 Exceptionally High Standard! The Terrifying Nineteenth Prince!

Aside from the combat forces belonging to the World Government, almost everyone on the scene looked at the 19 corpses on Mary Geoise that were recovering from their shriveled state to their pearly, rounded state with extreme horror!

The corpse has come back to life!

This corpse from 800 years ago was actually able to absorb the blood of the dead soldiers at the scene for some reason and thus be reborn!

"Kurarararararara, no wonder you Navy people are always so arrogant, shouting 'Justice will prevail!' So you actually had this kind of backup plan!"

Whitebeard, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Garp and Zephyr, the two top combatants of the Marine Headquarters, also looked at the 19 king corpses on Mary Geoise with a shocked expression. These corpses were beginning to exude powerful Conqueror's Haki.

Their aura has gradually transformed from its initial dry and withered state to one approaching that of a general due to their blood-drinking!

"Hahahaha, Newgate, I never said I was a government employee!"

"I'm quite surprised that the government had such a backup plan... It seems I really can't openly slander the Celestial Dragons anymore..."

Compared to Whitebeard's serious demeanor, Garp's performance was much more subdued.

Because when the World Government first nominated him to become the Admiral, the highest-ranking officer in the Marine Headquarters, he had already learned bits and pieces of information from the Five Elders and others.

However, at that time, as the only man in the Marine Headquarters who simultaneously possessed both Ultimate Armament Haki and Ultimate Conqueror's Haki, he naturally disdained such a thing.

Even if these corpses were to resurrect and gain some strength, could they possibly be harder than his iron fist?

Garp asked himself honestly, in a one-on-one situation, his iron fist was invincible!

Of course, in Garp's ranking list, Rahu, this monstrous talent pirate who appeared out of nowhere, was naturally removed.

Rahu's fighting power is truly bizarre. Not only has he mastered all three types of Haki, but he also possesses many terrifyingly powerful Devil Fruits!

If someone like that were included in the combat power rankings, it would be extremely unfair to everyone.

Just as Whitebeard and Garp finished their casual, everyday conversation...

The 19 frost-covered corpses on Mary Geoise gradually regained their color and slowly opened their cloudy, bloodshot eyes.

Boom boom boom boom boom! ! !

At this moment!

The terrifying Conqueror's Haki once again filled the entire arena!

The 19 kings with the potential to be kings displayed their incredibly powerful and domineering talents the moment they were resurrected!

The 19 people varied in age; some were kings in their eighties, while others were young, such as the exceptionally talented young powerhouse, Figaland Garin!

Nearly 30,000 pirates were charging forward in a dense formation, thinking they had seen the dawn of victory, but in an instant they were completely overwhelmed by the overwhelming Conqueror's Haki that was like a god or demon!

The slender, black and red lightning bolts roamed around like a chain of iron chains, piercing through one group of pirates after another, leaving a bowl-sized blood hole in their vital areas, where their viscera could be clearly seen beating!

"Where did this nobody come from? How dare he brazenly storm onto the Red Earth Continent, which belongs only to the world's nobles!"

The 19 kings gradually regained some faint consciousness, and then roared on the spot like thunder, directly stopping the large group of pirates who were charging forward!

At this moment, the Conqueror's Haki emanating from them became even more powerful!

Under the precise control of these 19 kings, the explosive Conqueror's Haki directly covered the entire area, causing tens of thousands of pirates who had rushed to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, less than a few hundred meters away, to collapse on the spot!

These pirates were practically the elite of the elite within the Rocks Pirates!

Each of them, taken individually, could easily be placed in the Age of Exploration and used as a mini-boss for Luffy to gain experience!

However, even this powerful group of pirates couldn't withstand the Conqueror's Haki displayed by the 19 awakened kings for more than a minute, not even three seconds. They were all knocked unconscious by the Haki, foaming at the mouth and completely disoriented!

"It really follows the same formula as in novels!"

"Killing Little Deng will spawn Middle Deng, and after eliminating all the Middle Dengs, Old Deng will appear. If Old Deng can't hold out, an even older Old Deng will appear! It's just like the 'Hundred Dengs Night Walk' in Douyin short videos~"

Luo Hou sheathed his Azure Flame Blade and chose to stand still, observing the situation before making a decision.

After all, if these 19 old men rashly make a move before demonstrating their true fighting power, they could very well find themselves in a very dangerous predicament.

Although Luo Hou already considered himself invincible, what if he were to be attacked by 19 powerful individuals, all of whom were at the ultimate level of Haki, at the same time?

It would be absolutely impossible for them to hold their own.

Luo Hou is incredibly strong; he can easily solo kill players in the top, middle, and bottom lanes, and even leisurely stroll around the jungle.

But that doesn't mean you can ignore team fights and charge in to take on five opponents by yourself.

At that moment, the kings who had instantly annihilated tens of thousands of pirates gradually began to function again, regaining their normal consciousness.

"What a long-awaited breath of fresh air... It must have been hundreds of years since I've been out here!"

"That's right, old folks... What was the name of that last sea tyrant who managed to reach Mary Geoise? Never mind, it doesn't matter..."

"You all think our family's influence must have grown quite strong by now, right? I wonder if we've managed to secure any high-ranking positions within the government?"

"Hahahaha! Our Nader family has always been the most powerful of all the families. Even after a long time, the Nader family will definitely maintain its leading position! I just wonder which junior will be the group leader this year~"

"Power, status, money, fame? These things are no longer important to us! The most important thing is why Im Saint hasn't fulfilled his promise of eternal life to us?"

"Instead, they've used this bizarre technology to freeze us inside these tiny contraptions and watch time pass by! Is this guy trying to deceive us?"

"That's right! How many years has it been since that guy promised immortality and freedom? It still hasn't come true! If this continues, all the memories I have are about to be worn away... What a troublesome little girl!!!"

After the 19 kings easily annihilated tens of thousands of pirates, they sat down on the spot and began to talk about what had happened hundreds of years ago, as well as their earnest expectations for the current development of their families.

What these guys don't know is that the so-called younger generation they talk about has already lost hundreds of thousands of lives on Mary Geoise today!

Moreover, the people who caused such a horrific number of deaths and injuries are still planning to kill several of their old kings!

......

Chapter 137 The King's Pursuit! King Nader's Challenge to a Duel!

“Eight hundred years ago, I promised you true freedom and eternal life... but the current conditions are not yet sufficient... If you persevere a little longer, you will surely be able to walk in this world again in the future and continue to enjoy supreme power and wealth…”

Just as the 19 kings began to whisper and speculate about whether the immortality Im spoke of could truly be achieved, Im, who was struggling to control his straw hat, slowly spoke and explained to everyone.

“Im Saint… not that we’re talking about you… but I remember you said something like that when that incident happened 200 years ago, right?”

"That's right. Can this matter be accomplished, and when will it be accomplished? You should give us a definite answer."

"I suspect she's manipulating us... but I can't find any concrete evidence... If I continue to sleep like this, when I wake up next time, I might already have Alzheimer's..."

Apart from Queen Lily, who remained silent with lifeless eyes and white pupils, a group of former kings were discussing among themselves, directly transferring the pressure to Im.

"Immortality is definitely achievable...aren't I a living example?"

"Achieving immortality isn't so easy. I need to gather enough resources before I can act."

"Of course, if any of you 19 kings have any doubts, you can raise your concerns with me now, withdraw from this plan, and give this spot to the other 18 kings!"

The voice emanating from beneath Im's wide black robe was utterly cold and ruthless.

Having grasped the absolute conditions, she was now able to completely suppress these 19 increasingly impatient old guys. In fact, after a while, Im could use new technology to erase all the memories from their minds, thus turning them into her henchmen!

However, before that, she still needs to do her acting properly.

"Imsaint is joking... We old folks were just joking... There's no need to take it seriously..."

"Yes, yes, after all, immortality is definitely difficult... Let's just wait and see..."

Upon seeing Im's cold attitude, the group of kings who had been grumbling all laughed it off and chose to let the matter drop.

After all these years of waiting, a little longer won't make a difference. They can always wake up again and travel for a while every so often anyway.

Compared to simply turning into a corpse.

These conditions are already very good.

Im ignored the 19 kings and silently turned around, wearing his huge straw hat, and walked back towards the location of Pangaea.

He left everyone with only a powerful yet lonely and cold silhouette.

Faced with the attitude shown by Im, their former collaborator, the kings could only swallow their anger and suffer in silence.

The one who has now mastered the technology of immortality is Im...

Living under someone else's roof, they had no choice but to obey their orders.

"The pirates who stormed Mary Geoise this time seem to be quite powerful. So many soldiers died, and no one stopped them?"
