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

Since he had no choice but to descend in his true form, Im could only be humiliatingly sent back to Mary Geoise by Luffy.

"That guy really does have limitations."

Luffy muttered to himself.

He could also tell that Im hadn't used his full strength at all since arriving here.

"Well, whatever. If they come back next time, I'll just chop them up again." He tucked the black knife into his belt, turned, and walked towards the Sunny.

Her steps were light and quick, her red coat fluttering behind her.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away in Mary Geoise, deep within the flowers of Pangaea, Im, seated on the Void Throne, suddenly opened his eyes.

The feedback from the possessed body being struck and sent back, along with the lingering aftershocks of the Conqueror's Haki attack, were transmitted back to his original body.

This is only the second time in eight hundred years.

In some ways, they are all the same person.

Joy Boy!

The terrifying black shadow raged here, venting its fury.

The five elders kneeling on the ground felt a bone-chilling cold, fearing that they would be ripped out by Lord Im if they said the wrong thing.

The Five Elders are just a code name, like the Satans; if they make a mistake, they will be replaced.

The Five Elders are aware of this.

"Monkey D. Luffy!"

Im gritted his teeth; he had actually been sent back like this.

Like a stray dog ​​being chased away.

He was clearly the king of the world who ruled for eight hundred years!

This is an utter disgrace.

"Lord Im, please calm your anger," Nasujiro said tremblingly.

"Shut up!"

Im only said two words, and Nasujiro immediately shut his mouth, pressing his forehead to the ground, not daring to make another sound.

A suffocating silence fell over the palace.

Just then, Marcus Massan hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to speak: "Lord Im, something has happened at the Holy Land."

The Five Elders received news as soon as they returned, and it was certainly not good news.

Im turned to him. "Speak."

Marcus Massan stated, "The Revolutionary Army attacked Mary Geoise during this period."

This is not good news.

Im's anger was palpable, and the Five Elders dared not raise their heads.

"What did you say?"

While Im and the Five Elders were distracted by the battle on Egghead Island, the Revolutionary Army launched an attack on Mary Geoise.

Marcus Massan's voice grew softer and softer, "The entire Holy Land is now engulfed in flames, and the Knights of God have gone to take control of the situation."

As if to confirm his words, faint sounds of explosions and shouts of killing came from outside the palace.

The firelight shone through the windows, casting dancing spots of light on the palace floor.

Im walked to the window and looked out at Mary Geoise through the glass.

This city, hailed as the abode of the gods, is now in chaos.

Flames burned in every corner of the city, thick smoke billowing into the sky and turning it gray.

The voices of the Celestial Dragons rang out.

It's like slaughtering a pig.

"How dare those revolutionary army bastards!" Im roared.

"Not only that."

Shepard X. Peter Saint continued, "The Revolutionary Army has also cut off all food ships bound for Mary Geoise. Now the Holy Land's food reserves... can only last for three days at most."

These words made Im's aura even more terrifying.

Food is the lifeblood of the Celestial Dragons.

Mary Geoise, located at the top of the Red Line, produces almost no food itself. All its food depends on tributes transported from all over the world. Now that the Revolutionary Army has cut off this lifeline, it is as if they have strangled the entire Holy Land.

The revolutionary army's strategic objectives were very clear.

The Five Elders, who had lived for so many years, were not to be trifled with, and they immediately saw through it.

They intend to starve Mary Geoise, causing the entire Holy Land to crumble without a fight.

"Is there no way to stop it?" Im asked coldly.

The five elders looked at each other, none of them daring to answer.

The revolutionary army's plan this time was clearly the result of long-term preparation.

Using the battle on Egghead Island as cover, and taking advantage of the moment when the main naval force was tied down and the Five Elders were all focused on Egghead Island, they broke through the Holy Land's defenses in one fell swoop.

Strike the snake at its vital spot.

This blow clearly struck at the heart of the world government.

Chapter 631 The Revolutionary Army Ignites the Flames of War

"What about the fleet responsible for transporting the grain?"

"Im asked."

"All have lost contact."

Marcus Massan replied, "The Revolutionary Army has information on all shipping routes, every ship carrying food has been intercepted, and all the CP members we sent out to investigate have also disappeared without a trace."

"There should be someone in the revolutionary army who is very good at intelligence and planning in command of this operation."

Shepard X. Peter Saint added, "It's very likely their Chief of Staff, Saab."

Sabo.

The name further fueled Im's anger.

It was that Revolutionary Army Chief of Staff who infiltrated Mary Geoise during the World Conference, not only witnessing his presence but also rescuing Alabasta King Cobra, who was supposed to be silenced.

Later, she survived the destruction of the Kingdom of Lulusia and brought back information about the Heavenly King.

And now it's that Sabo again.

"Alright, very well, these guys have all started to show their faces in this era. In that case, let's take care of them all at once!"

Im's voice carried a chilling calm.

One by one, images of D appeared in his mind.

A war that never ended eight hundred years ago...

He looked out the window at the burning Mary Geoise, at the panicked Celestial Dragons and the flames spreading everywhere, and the light in his eyes grew colder and colder.

"Then let me ask you."

Im turned around, looked at the Five Elders kneeling on the ground, and suddenly raised his voice, "What are you still doing kneeling here?"

The five elders trembled.

"The enemy has reached Mary Geoise, are you just going to wait here for M to tell you what to do?"

Im laughed in exasperation.

"Lord Im, calm down!"

The Five Elders all bowed low. "We'll take care of it right away!"

"Then get out!"

With a wave of his hand, Im sent the Five Elders flying out of the palace with a powerful repulsive force.

The palace gates slammed shut.

Only Im remained standing in the empty palace.

He slowly walked back to the throne, but did not sit down immediately. Instead, he raised his head and looked at the huge mural on the palace dome.

The murals depict scenes from eight hundred years ago.

A war that swept across the entire world, a vast kingdom that was defeated, and the victors standing on the ruins.

Those were the images of twenty kings.

Nineteen of them later became the ancestors of the Celestial Dragons.

And he was the last one.

The true ruler of this world!

"Joy Boy is back. That robot waited for eight hundred years... just to see someone wearing the same straw hat as you."

"But this time, the result will be no different."

He said to himself, "I won last time, and I will win this time too."

"Eight hundred years... and in the end it's still you."

He murmured softly, his voice fading into the empty hall.

At the same time, directly below the Red Line.

This is a huge cave carved inward from the bottom of the rock wall. The edges of the cave are jagged, presenting a twisted shape that goes against the laws of natural geology.
