Infinite: Starting from Infiltrating Other Spaces

A dark red light flashed in his eyes, and his expression changed drastically as he leaped into the sky.

The instant they jumped off the ground, a white halo flashed past their feet with a buzzing sound.

The rebels reacted extremely quickly, but the Five Elders and the Knights of God, having transformed into monsters, were too large to react immediately. Among the Five Elders, only Saint Nassuro, who had transformed into a centaur, managed to leap up in time, while Saints Grin, Saint Shamrock, and Saint Junko of the Knights of God also leaped up to avoid the ring.

buzzing

Shanks looked down at the ring that had spread out for nearly a thousand meters, his eyes widening as a fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Wherever the ring passed, everything seemed to come to an absolute standstill. As the wind blew, it slowly moved away, revealing a smooth, mirror-like fracture.

Everything within a radius of thousands of meters was cut open, including the Celestial Dragons.

"This kind of slash..."

Rayleigh and Jabba are both masters of slashing, and Shanks can rival Hawkeye in swordsmanship. Circular slashes and slashes in one direction are not at all the same level of difficulty.

Aokiji landed on the ground, looked around at the city ruins that had been neatly cut in half, and exhaled a chilling breath:

"Hey, you're kidding, right?"

Garp suddenly burst into laughter. Although he didn't know swordsmanship, he had seen pigs run so much that he knew a thing or two.

That last move clearly showed the shadow of his old rival and friend Roger's miraculous evasion.

Sabo, looking at the Five Elders and the Knight of God who had also been sliced ​​open opposite him, suddenly exclaimed in surprise:

"They haven't recovered!"

"That's because their domineering aura slowed down their recovery. You came here to fight, didn't you know that, kid!"

Jabba pushed up his sunglasses with the handle of his axe, grinned, and looked into the distance, a smile spreading across his face.

"Looks like that kid's in trouble. This level of slash is no joke—"

"boom!"

With a tremendous crash, a figure shot out of the dust like a cannonball, slid across the ground several times, and rolled, leaving a deep trench in the earth.

The figure was only stopped when the members of the Knights of God, their expressions twisted with terror, rushed forward.

"Lord Im! Lord Im!"

Green knelt on the ground and helped the figure up. The other five elders, who had been cut open but were still alive, were shocked because the one who had been hit like a baseball was Im!

Footsteps echoed from the smoke and dust, and a figure slowly came into focus. An invisible force field seemed to surround him, gently pushing the smoke and dust away.

Li Xia walked back through the dust amidst everyone's stunned silence, and sighed helplessly.

That move he just made was a super-wide-range circular slash created by combining divine evasion with slow-speed slashing, the "Ring of Annihilation".

Because they were enveloped in a large amount of Conqueror's Haki, after being cut open, the nineteen kings were not able to recover as quickly as before.

Li Xia seized the opportunity to rush in front of Im, but he did not expect Im to be so decisive, directly summoning a powerful bomb from the magic book and detonating it.

Now he finally understood the difficulty of defeating Im: it was the 'massive health points' of Im, the nineteen kings dominated by Im's dark transformation, and the power built up by the Five Elders, the Knights of God, and the Navy.

Judging solely from Im's own strength, aside from the black transformation and contract abilities, he is not actually very strong.

Therefore... the tactics need to be changed.

As Li Xia pondered, he walked towards his own side, passing through the Five Elders and the Knights of God, yet no one dared to move, watching him leave with unwavering eyes.

Aowu, who was comfortably nestled inside the dragon egg and livestreaming, suddenly burst out laughing at the scene and said to Heitan with a sigh:

"Little cat, think back to the last time we came here, we were on the front lines, standing like lackeys."

The two members of the God's Knights that the junk collector's girl casually conjured up: Garin and Shamrock...

Aowu waved its paw: "That sense of oppression, that despair, they could crush us like ants."

Now, in just a few months, when he returns to pirates, he'll be hands in his pockets, oblivious to what a worthy opponent he is.

Look at the Five Elders and the Knights of God, they don't even dare to make a move!

Is the gap in strength really so large that it's insurmountable?

Awoo and Black Charcoal thought about it and realized it really might be true...

If Aowu and Heitan felt the changes brought about by their soaring strength, then the rebels felt pure surprise.

"summer!"

Several people gathered around, sized up Li Xia, whose clothes were slightly dirty, and their morale visibly lifted.

Only Shanks, with a worried expression, lowered his voice:

"Did you encounter any problems?"

He was the one who knew Im and the Knights of God the most among them. It was precisely because of this understanding that he was increasingly afraid of Im. Although he had expectations, he always had doubts.

"Yes, there is a problem, but it's not a big one."

Li Xia nodded, watching the Five Elders and the Knights of God kneel before Im, the two sides currently in a delicate halftime state.

He needed time to explain Im's special abilities to others, while Im needed time to allow his body, which had been cut open by Haki, to recover.

"I've pretty much figured out Im's background."

Li Xia's voice was very soft, but it made the powerful figures present hold their breath:

"What he relies on is his immense vitality, and it is this vitality that sustains his, the Five Elders, and the Knights of God's immortal bodies and long lifespans."

The Five Elders are one level higher than the Knights of God. In addition to having indestructible bodies, they generally live for hundreds of years. However, the Knights of God are different; they age and perish.

After Li Xia recounted what he had discovered, the entire battlefield fell silent.

What's even more sinister is that these words were recorded by Aowu's remote microphone, meaning the whole world heard what he said.

The crowd, who had initially just been watching the spectacle, slowly lowered their heads, revealing the origins of the Celestial Dragons' existence, their power to arbitrarily capture slaves, and the truth behind it.

Thanks to the immense vitality accumulated from cannibalism, the holy city of Mary Geoise appears to be situated atop the high red earth, but in reality, it is formed from a dense accumulation of corpses.

What nobility, what creator? It's nothing but a shameless ambush and betrayal by a bunch of lowly people who have realized they are about to lose their noble status and can no longer be superior to others.

On the warships heading towards the Sabaody Archipelago, the marines' breathing grew heavier and heavier, their eyes gradually filled with rage, their hands gripping their guns trembled slightly, and their knuckles turned white from the excessive force.

On each warship were groups of soldiers filled with anger, feeling they had been fooled and deceived.

On the flagship of the Navy Admiral, Sengoku frantically stuffed senbei into his mouth. What Li Xia said was too shocking, even subverting everyone's understanding.

Crane's gaze was unusually calm, but beneath that calm lay a deep worry.

After this statement, if Im loses, that's fine; but if Im wins, the whole world will descend into utter chaos.

People will no longer follow Im's rule, and the flames of rebellion will be ignited throughout the world.

Indeed, once you've seen the light, how can you go back to the darkness?

By then...

Crane felt a chill run through his body, fearing that the whole world would be shrouded in bloodshed and countless lives would be lost.

Those nations will perish, islands will sink, and the sea will expand further until it swallows up all the land on earth.

Garp.....

He looked at the stubborn old man standing beside Li Xia, who was still old, but whose body seemed to be burning with an inextinguishable flame.

Is this the kind of monster you want to fight?

It really is...

Hero.

Chapter 38 Im, Die!

"Hey Franky!"

Luffy kept his head down, his face hidden in the shadow of his straw hat, making it impossible to see his expression.

But all the crew members on the Sunny unconsciously straightened up and looked at their captain.

Although Luffy is usually carefree and jovial, once he puts on his straw hat and speaks with a serious expression, it means it's the captain's order.

"I want to get to Sabaody Archipelago as soon as possible, is there any way to do that?"

"If that's the case... it must be... Super Continuous Wind Cannon!"

Franky raised a hand and pointed to the cannon barrel at the rear:

"As long as you continuously use the Wind Cannon and switch to gliding mode, you can sprint at the fastest speed."

but...."

Franky pressed his nose, switching to his afro hairstyle:

"This will cause very serious damage to the Sunny!"

"Let's begin!"

Luffy abruptly raised his head, his gaze fixed on Im on the other side of the screen, his eyes burning with rage and unprecedented disgust, and he clenched his fists tightly.

"I've never had such a strong...urge to knock him away!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Franky, too, did not hesitate at all:

"Usopp, Chopper! Go to the power room and refill my cola bottles!"

The entire Straw Hat crew sprang into action immediately. Luffy clenched his trembling fist, determined to deliver a devastating and thorough blow to Im once they reached Mary Geoise!

.............

On the warship, Smoker picked up the Justice Coat from the back of his chair and walked out without looking back. Tashigi quickly stood up.

“Mr. Smoker, you are going to—”

Smoker put on his coat, a sense of justice emanating from him. He turned his head, his weathered face revealing an unprecedented murderous intent:

"Tashigi, stay here and keep an eye on those brats. I'm going to pursue...my justice!"

...........

On another, much larger warship, Kizaru stood with his hands in his pockets, looking up at the sky. The scorching sun, shining through his sunglasses, seemed to have been stained black.

Images suddenly flashed through his mind: the time spent stationed on Egghead Island, Kuma bringing Bonney for treatment, Vegapunk, Sentomaru...

It was clearly the World Government's fault. It was clearly the Celestial Dragons who treated people as slaves and then discarded them at will, treating them like garbage. It was clearly the Celestial Dragons who caused Bonney's illness.

However, the treatment required Kuma to voluntarily become a slave, and the time spent on Egghead Island was Kizaru's happiest memory.

They ate meat together, sang together, and danced the Nika dance together...

What am I even doing?

Kizaru's body suddenly dissipated into beams of light, flying towards the sky at an incredible speed.

............

"Xia, so you mean to do everything possible to harm the Five Elders and the Knights of God, and not to use your domineering aura to slow down their recovery."

Instead, are they being forced to constantly repair their bodies?

Long took a deep breath and asked softly:

"Yes, Im's accumulated life force is terrifying. If we were to calculate it... killing him a thousand times would be about right."

Li Xia also spoke softly.

A thousand times!

Everyone present couldn't help but gasp. This was a terrifying number. At their level, it wouldn't be easy to determine a winner.

Just like how Aokiji and Akainu fought a duel on a small island for ten days and ten nights to compete for the position of Fleet Admiral, completely changing the island's celestial phenomena before a winner was finally decided.

Therefore, killing Im a thousand times is almost a fantasy.

"A thousand times...."

Shanks, Rayleigh, and Jabba exchanged a glance, all noticing the bitterness in each other's eyes.
