Having traversed countless realms, can you possibly be as clever as me?

"Abyss Curse!!!"

Rocks gripped his weapon tightly with both hands and launched a full-scale sneak attack without any warning!

A surging, sky-shattering Conqueror's Haki gathered on his blade, slashing down towards Im's head. And just as this attack—undoubtedly the strongest among these powerful figures—was unleashed—

"Heavenly Punishment Sword"

Im said casually, and the weapon he had created from demonic energy instantly transformed into a jet-black greatsword, colliding with Lox's attack.

However, in the very instant of their exchange, Rocks' eyes widened in shock!

He was completely suppressed by this power, this domineering capacity!

As a Devil Fruit user, Rocks' power comes entirely from his Haki, and once his Haki is suppressed, the outcome is without hesitation.

Eeya!!

In the next instant, Rocks' chest was pierced through, and the Heavenly Punishment Sword, filled with dark demonic energy, tore through Rocks' chest in an instant.

Just as Rocks borrowed the Five Elders, Im also defeated Rocks in an instant with a near-invincible attitude!

"Hmm, your abilities are indeed impressive; I couldn't even kill David. However, there's no need to kill him now."

Im stared at the corpse of Lox, and the demonic energy behind him transformed into shadowy tentacles that pierced through Lox's body in an instant.

Black to Domination!

Just like thirty-eight years ago at God Valley, only this time, facing Im, who was at full strength and even enhanced, Rocks's Haki was not enough to stop him and was pierced through.

Fangs sprouted from his mouth, and jet-black bat wings and a long tail grew from his back, making him look exactly like the demon he had back in God Valley.

"Newgate, come, all of you, come out, I can't control myself..."

Lox struggled and growled, but his consciousness was completely unable to control the body.

Just as Rocks was about to transform into Im's puppet once again, Vivi, standing beside him, immediately began chanting ancient priestly script.

"The power of eternity governs all things, their names, their souls, and even their remains..."

Meanwhile, the Aksis followers in Alabasta were also awakened, and the choir, led by the bishop, sang the name of the goddess.

The next moment, the bursting blue sunlight instantly filled the entire Alabasta, and regardless of who was in front or behind, all Devil Fruit users felt an immense suppression from their bodies to their souls!

Especially for Im, a strong and familiar sense of weakness washed over him again, and he looked up in the direction of the sunlight.

"Lily...no, you're just an imposter." Im said softly, looking at Princess Vivi who had transformed into a Winged Dragon.

"You're not the sun god, you're not Lily, but this radiance... it's utterly obstructive!!!"

"Hahaha, thank you, little princess! You and your priest will have a worthy place in my new world!!!"

Seizing the opportunity, Rocks broke free from his restraints without hesitation, gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, and attacked Im once more.

"Abyss Curse!!!"

This time, Im was unable to kill Rocks instantly, and instead had to parry his attacks. At the same time, Garp, Zephyr, Shanks, Rayleigh, and other powerful individuals who were not Devil Fruit users immediately attacked Im from all directions.

Strike while the iron is hot and kill him!

"Infinite Fist Bone!"

"Gods, beware!"

"Smash the short-sleeved shirt!"

"The Blade of the Other Shore!"

Faced with the onslaught of attacks, Im sneered and raised his head, looking at the descending light.

976

695. Im is only fit to be Aqua's speed bump!

A deafening thunderbolt fell from the sky.

It is a creation of God hidden in the sky, existing in this oxygen-rich universe.

A product of First World civilization, combined with the technology brought by the Lunarians, it ultimately surpasses its predecessors and is the ultimate weapon created in collaboration with the inhabitants of the moon.

No, actually, it wasn't originally intended to be a weapon, at least not to kill people.

But just as a doctor invented the Gatling gun, the original intention of an invention is not important, because people will always use it in their battles with others.

Yes, ancient civilizations, ancient machines—originally intended to benefit the world, were used by those who craved war to destroy it.

All I can say is that Hayao Miyazaki's Castle in the Sky is just too amazing! He nailed the Zero Sequence part perfectly.

Tsugumi had long since discovered Uranus's existence, but as I said before—

Don't worry about it, just leave it alone!

He has plenty of weapons of that size; such things are of no value to him except for a few points of reference.

But when applied to the people of this world, this becomes the Celestial Dragons' ultimate weapon and the absolute power to suppress the world for eight hundred years.

Thus, Tsurugi granted the people of this world the ability to live forever, so this world-ending war was destined to ensure that not even a single cockroach would die.

He wants to carry this final battle to the very last moment.

However, perhaps under the protection of the Tsurugi River, this war is destined to end without a single death, but—what does the destruction of the world matter?

Heavenly King, has fallen.

Without warning or preparation, at Im's command, an anomaly appeared in the sky in an instant.

Countless clouds were shattered, their particles extracted by an invisible force in the air, and then, this aggregated energy and these particles began to gather in front of the activated machine.

Powered by the 'Mother Spark,' invented by Vegapunk that is equivalent to nuclear fusion, Uranus, the King of the Universe, has once again activated it after eight hundred years!

Countless beams of light fell from the sky like raindrops.

Each strike has an effect no less powerful than a full-force attack from one of the Four Emperors—pure destruction, pure lethality.

The dazzling light almost stole everyone's attention, and the first to be attacked was the Winged Dragon of Ra, which had transformed slightly.

Its enormous body was almost instantly overwhelmed by the attack. With a mournful cry, Vivi withdrew from her Winged Dragon of Ra form and was then almost immediately reduced to nothingness under the bombardment!

But divine grace enveloped her, and she was resurrected at the moment of death.

But the world-destroying light in the sky showed no sign of stopping.

"That guy named Vegapunk did a good job; he reminded Mu of those ancient scientists."

As the destructive light continued to fall from the sky, Im, unusually, offered a word of praise to someone.

"What a fire! What a fire! It's even better than the fire that destroyed the once mighty kingdom."

Without the suppression of the ocean and the sun's radiance, Im's demonic energy surged again, and in the next instant, he sent Rocks flying!

Against the backdrop of countless falling pillars of destructive light, Im flapped his jet-black wings and soared atop Marineford, coldly observing everything.

The pride of the navy, the naval base fortress that had never fallen, was destroyed as easily and completely as if it were a crushed block.

The relentless bombardment continued, destroying Marineford, the Gates of Justice, and countless shipwrecks within it.

As for the people involved?

They were wiped out in droves, like straws or dust!

"Is this the power of Uranus—the Ancient Weapon Uranus?" Dragon struggled to protect the Revolutionary Army members and warships with his abilities, his pupils trembling as he watched the light continuously descend from above.

A power as great as a god!

“Eight hundred years ago, Mu used it to fight against the fire that controlled Neptune and Hades at that time.”

Im looked down at the crowd below, like an old man reminiscing about his glorious past, and began to slowly recount what had happened.

"And the result is the region that you call the Calm Belt, which runs across this world."

There was no wind, no waves, and the sea was calm and still as stagnant water, yet it was teeming with countless sea monsters.

The realm that, along with the Red Line, divides the world into four parts, is a destructive weapon from the person before us.

With the power of weaponry, they arbitrarily molded and manipulated all things in nature like mud. Ancient technology brought with it absolute authority that transcended all things!

"It caused the sea level to rise by two hundred meters at that time, and now it will continue to rise," Im said coldly.

"Soon, only the 'Serpent of Karmic Fire' will remain on land in this world, while all other places will be submerged in the icy sea."

976 >>

"Prepare for your doom ahead of time, you foolish flames of rebellion!"

Im's words were no joke.

Uranus's bombardment carried matter from the sky into this blue ocean, and not only that, its bombardment also exerted tremendous pressure on the entire planet's crust.

As a result of terrifying geological activity, the world's sea levels have risen by one meter.

And this was merely one of Uranus's attacks.

At this moment, whether they were navy pirates or revolutionaries, they all looked at Im, whose demonic energy was surging in the sky, with almost despair!

He cannot be defeated by individual strength, and now he has activated a weapon capable of destroying the world. How can such an opponent be defeated and dealt with?

"Who?! Who's littering in the sea?!"

Just then, an angry voice suddenly rang out on the battlefield.

Amidst the astonished and bewildered expressions of countless people, a whirlpool appeared in the ocean beneath Im's feet, and then a blue-haired beauty wielding a staff emerged in a fit of rage.

Without a doubt, she is Aqua.

She had come here with great momentum to cause trouble for Dongjiang, but she didn't expect that halfway there she would hear the mournful cries coming from the sea.

As the goddess of water, all the water in the world is her servant, and the ocean, which possesses a certain self and represents the natural will of this world, regards Aqua as a mother figure.

What Aqua heard was her child's cry of pain—a very, very bad guy, just like eight hundred years ago, started throwing garbage into the sea and beat its body until it was swollen!

How could she tolerate this? Aqua almost immediately forgot her original purpose and came here aggressively.
