Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Many people have already figured it out by now.

The scene shifts to the waters around Wano Country, where the Whitebeard Pirates' flagship is sailing.

Gulalalalala!

Whitebeard looked up at the image in the sky and burst into laughter.

Many of the Whitebeard Pirates fought alongside the Straw Hat Pirates and experienced being shot down by Uranus.

I was even more moved by Vegapunk's words, and I had no doubt that one shot would destroy the entire country.

Back then, Luffy, Big Mom, and Kaido, the three Yonko, took several hits in a row.

But... could ancient weapons really cause the entire world to sink two hundred meters?

Whitebeard remembered the Tremor-Tremor Fruit he had used for most of his life.

He felt that the Tremor-Tremor Fruit also possessed that kind of power.

It's still on Luffy's body now, so I wouldn't be surprised if that kid caused some kind of continental tremor or transfer.

"If the energy was created by that old man Vegapunk, then it wouldn't be surprising."

Whitebeard's gaze shifted towards Egghead Island, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. "Now the World Government wants to plunder Vegapunk's achievements? Looks like the Straw Hats are going to steal them from us."

"The World Government has been using Vegapunk from the very beginning."

Ace stood beside Whitebeard, arms crossed, brow furrowed. "Father, Luffy and the others are in a terrible situation..."

"Ace, you don't need to worry about that kid anymore. He's the Emperor of the Sea!" Whitebeard laughed heartily.

That's what they say.

Worrying about one's younger brother is something an older brother can never give up.

Ace's biggest worry right now is the guy behind the World Government.

Vegapunk has told everyone everything; the World Government will probably just give up now.

Whitebeard glanced at his son's profile, a slight smile playing on his lips.

In this respect, Ace really is a lot like that bastard Roger.

but,

"What Roger and his crew saw when they reached the final island seems quite interesting."

He muttered to himself, his gaze returning to the image in the sky, "This old man hasn't finished speaking yet."

Indeed, he didn't finish speaking.

In the scene, Vegapunk's expression becomes solemn, even carrying a hint of repentance.

"I must sincerely apologize here, but I hope you all understand that I want to create a power source that can become the cornerstone of future global industrial development. Although it is not yet completed, the culmination of all my research results has finally entered the practical application stage."

This will surely bring prosperity to people all over the world one day, but if a small portion of this flame were stolen from it, the responsibility lies entirely with me.

According to Vegapunk's account, about two weeks after the Flame was stolen, the Kingdom of Lulusia appeared, and that country was completely destroyed from the location of the flight path.

Many people don't know this.

Because the weapon of public opinion is in the hands of the world government.

Just think how terrible this is. It is very difficult for countries to communicate with each other in this ocean. As time goes by, when those who know of its existence die, places like the Kingdom of Lulucia are destroyed, as if this world had never existed.

Vegapunk found out about this through some means, and subsequently...

"I have observed sea-level rise worldwide, and I am certain that it is the power of the spark!"

Vegapunk said, "I am utterly culpable and unforgivable for such acts of violence and loss of life when I was completely unaware of them."

There were three ancient weapons in the world that Joy Boy wanted to pass on to future generations.

Why pass down something like this?

Isn't the world sunk enough already?

The truth will eventually come to light.

"And when that day comes..."

Vegapunk raised his head and stared straight ahead. "The sinking of the world is just around the corner."

Click.

Click.

The broadcast began to be interfered with.

The screen flickered, and the sound was intermittent.

On the battlefield, a terrifying aura suddenly erupted from Sacred Vochuli.

Black smoke billowed from his body, spreading in all directions with a suffocating sense of oppression.

Those with Observation Haki all looked up.

A shadow slowly materialized behind Sacred Vocuri.

"Finally couldn't hold back anymore?"

Luffy stared at the surging aura of Saint Vochuli before him, a smile appearing on his face. "So you've finally come, Im!"

With Im's appearance, the clouds above Egghead Island were stirred up by an invisible hand, forming a huge vortex.

Luffy doesn't really care about the truth of this world. He's fine with knowing it or not. The only reason he knows so much is because Robin wants to know.

So far since he set sail, Luffy has only suffered one defeat that can hardly be considered a failure, which occurred in the Sabaody Archipelago.

Back then, he was fighting alone against his grandfather, the naval hero Garp, as well as two naval admirals, Aokiji and Kizaru.

With that lineup, the Straw Hat Pirates, who were not yet fully grown, were repeatedly sent flying by Kuma, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Having been saved, Luffy is grateful to Bonney and Kuma, and after becoming their crewmate, he spares no effort to come here to save Vegapunk.

The battle with Im dates back to the Impel War two years ago, when Im descended in the body of the Knights of God.

Luffy didn't have the strength to face that guy yet, and in the end, he relied on Nika's Conqueror's Haki, which he had accumulated for who knows how long, to defeat him.

And now, before them stands Im, who has descended using the bodies of the Five Elders.

He is not the same person he was two years ago.

Im leaned against the body of Saint Vochuli, his eyes piercing through the layers of ruins and the billowing smoke, landing on Vegapunk on Franky's back.

"You still talked a lot, Vegapunk."

Im's voice echoed clearly here.

In an instant, a terrifying pressure descended upon everyone present.

Franky, who was carrying Vegapunk as they fled, also sensed that he was being locked onto by something.

How terrifying, is that a monster?

The next second, his body felt light and he returned to his original state. When he looked back, a black and red lightning bolt ripped through the oppressive sky.

Then it directly swallowed up the enormous body of Saint Vocuri.

"Rubber rubber... boomerang!"

The black and red lightning crackled and popped.

A precise kick landed on the side of Vocuri Saint's massive body.

Luffy, who was spinning rapidly in mid-air, stopped, covered his straw hat, and coldly watched the huge figure being kicked away in front of him.

"I'm still here."

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

The Sacred Stone of Vocuri was like a baseball that had been hit and sent hurtling towards the distant buildings.

The massive body smashed through more than a dozen buildings, with rubble and steel bars falling like raindrops and dust billowing into the sky.

"Lord Im!"

The five elders exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously.

It felt like the sky was about to fall.

We can ignore what happens to Saint Vochuli, but that guy's body now carries the will of that great one!

That's the king of the world!

The true master of the World Government, the ruler of the Empty Throne... What a humiliating scene this is.

This is something that has never even happened in God Valley!

In the distance, the smoke and dust slowly dissipated from the ruins.

Im stood up from the rubble, his movements unhurried, and the black shadow restored his body that had just been destroyed.

His recovery ability is even stronger than that of the Five Elders.

Even a single attack from six Yonko-level beings at God Valley couldn't destroy him.

"Joey Boy?"

Im uttered the name expressionlessly.

He wasn't in a hurry to deal with Luffy in front of him; his gaze swept across the ruins and locked onto the giant robot that was making a sound.

"Emmett, you're still alive?"

Vegapunk's voice emanates from this ancient giant, and that repulsive voice continues to reveal the world's deepest secrets.

The Image Bug was still running, and Vegapunk's mouth was still moving, but the sound was no longer audible.

Because Im's Conqueror's Haki erupted, sweeping over Emmett like demonic energy from hell.

Im instantly pinpointed the source of the sound.

Emmett's massive body was struck head-on by this overwhelming force. His enormous body swayed and then collapsed to the ground, and the Den Den Mushi's signal was interrupted by the impact.
