"You have exceeded your limits again and again. Finally, you have reached the critical point and started to rely on the power of others?"
"only…"
"Bang!"
While Luffy was still changing, Kaido swung the mace in his hand and hit Luffy on the head.
Like a heavy hammer hitting his soul fiercely, Luffy's momentum was stunned and his transformation came to an abrupt end.
This blow,
The main target is the soul!
"I'm not in the habit of letting my enemies get what they want!"
"Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~"
Even Im was caught off guard by the sudden change.
"Asshole!!!"
"Rubber, rubber, rubber..."
He cursed angrily, but before he could take any action, his whole body was suddenly shrouded in shadow, and thousands of dense fist shadows appeared above his head.
Surprisingly, it is Luffy! ! !
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The arena shattered suddenly, the shock wave blew up dust and gravel, and everyone covered their eyes and backed away.
When he came back to his senses, he saw Im falling straight towards the sea.
far away,
The moon has already set halfway, and the rising sun is rising east and west of the sea level, hitting Im's left and right sides, reflecting the gradually rising corners of his mouth.
"Hahahahahahaha!!!"
Sudden,
Immortal's sneer came from mid-air.
The moon shed its last beam of light, and then turned into strands of broken projections, slowly disappearing.
On the other side, there is Im rising with the sun!
"You did it first, don't blame me if you die." Im looked at Luffy excitedly, appearing extremely excited.
More than 800 years ago, as a son of the era and the king in the hearts of countless people, everyone thought that he and Joey Boy would have a battle.
However,
I don’t know whether he was self-aware or out of some bad taste, but he directly joined the other party’s subordinates!
At first, even he didn't know why. It wasn't until Luffy appeared that he suddenly realized.
turn out to be,
He just wants to stand at the top, watch a performance with the world as the stage, and watch the person whose strength far exceeds his own, struggling and sinking in a way similar to reincarnation!
"Ji Du Zhai - the sky fire shines together!"
In an instant,
A new sun appeared behind Im, and everyone couldn't help but close their eyes with its dazzling light.
"Hiss~"
"Using the heat reduced by the ability to condense a small sun, it's really appalling!"
Green Bull couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
He had never seen Im using such a trick, and he had never thought that Devil Fruit abilities could be so terrifying!
Zizzi~
Under the terrifying high temperature, the air gradually distorted, and the sweat on the top of the head evaporated into gas before it condensed.
Just the heat naturally emitted makes people feel as if they are in magma and their body is melting.
"Whoosh!"
An afterimage flashed past.
Luffy suddenly appeared on top of Im's head. He was over twenty meters tall, standing safely above the sun, looking down at Im.
not only that,
The sun that emitted endless heat and light quickly turned into a Q version of the rubber sun.
All light and heat are instantly frozen!
"If you have any other tricks, just use them!"
What? ! !
Im's pupils tightened.
He could feel that the will that extended out with the ability to eliminate the fruit as a fulcrum was retreating steadily.
Obviously, Luffy was able to defeat this seemingly terrifying move by relying solely on his will!
This is a collision between devil fruit awakenings. The one with a relatively weak will will be expelled by the other.
"Sun God Rubber Slap!"
Snapped!
Luffy suddenly stomped his foot, and the rubber underneath him instantly deformed, transforming into a palm that covered the sky and grabbed Im.
In front of this palm that was as big as an island, Im looked as small as an ant.
"It's ridiculous, look at me..."
Puff puff puff puff puff~
Before the words fell,
The center of the giant palm suddenly split into countless palms wrapped with armed and domineering energy, which were airtight and fell like raindrops.
Rumble——
The giant palms suddenly came together to form a huge 'cage', and countless palms kept hitting Im's body like swatting flies!
The roaring sound is endless,
The surface of the giant palm continued to bulge, and then returned to its original shape, as if thousands of cannonballs were exploding inside.
Each palm surpassed Luffy's previous limit and was enough to shatter a mountain!
"Is this the true form of the rubber fruit after it awakens?"
Yamato stared at the two of them intently. From Luffy's somewhat immature face, he felt the suppression of absolute strength for the first time, "Straw Hat Boy, it seems that the name of the Sun God is indeed appropriate."
It's not a matter of speed,
It's like being besieged by thousands of terrifying enemies at the same time, with no chance to breathe!
"but…"
Im's ability can weaken all attacks. An attack of this level may not be able to hurt him.
tread! tread! tread!
There was a sound of footsteps.
Sudden,
The speed of countless palms suddenly dropped a hundred times, as if they were still. I saw Im stepping on the air and walking out again step by step.
"You want to defeat me to this extent, who are you looking down on?"
"Ji Du Zhai - Ni Luan Tian Shen Que!"
Boom! ! !
A huge roar sounded, and a gorgeous palace that disappeared and appeared suddenly appeared above Im's head.
Within the palace, all the rules were rewritten.
Uh-huh! Uh-huh! Uh-huh!
Without warning, the densely packed palms suddenly turned and attacked the unsuspecting Luffy, Kaido and others.
boom! boom!
boom! boom! boom! boom!
As if to vent his anger, he hit everyone with a powerful punch that was several times more powerful than before.
Use his spear to attack his shield.
this moment,
The power Im accumulated by weakening the attack exploded!
…
the other side,
"Qianhe-kun?" Hancock was slightly startled when he saw Qianhe sitting cross-legged and suddenly stood up.
You were fine just now, but why did your face suddenly change?
"No matter how many ants there are, they can't kill the elephant, especially when faced with a monster that has mastered the power of rules. I took it for granted."
"but…"
"Since the quantity is not enough, then continue to increase the quantity!"
"Gate of Discord - Lead!"
…
"Gah——"
at this time,
Three huge doors suddenly appeared around the aerial arena, forming a triangle and surrounding the huge arena in the center!
"Bastard, is this Su Mu Qianhe's ability again?" A cursing voice came from inside the door.
Du Bois and the Qianhe Pirates suddenly appeared on the scene.
"This is…"
Lafitte was slightly startled by the sudden change, and then the corners of his mouth gradually raised, "Hey, so many monsters gathered together, it's really lively now!"
Van Oka: "There are a few more targets that can be sniped."
Dana: "Hey, where's the captain?"
Obviously, no one other than Qianhe could have caused this situation. However, Dana glanced around and found no sign of Qianhe.
"Who knows, maybe I'm watching a show somewhere!" Hogan said meaningfully.
His eyes quickly passed over Kaido and Yamato, and finally landed on Hector and red-haired Shanks!
These two people gave him a weird feeling.
"Stop talking nonsense. One Du Bois is so troublesome. Those two who were besieged must also be old monsters from their group, right?"
"There are also Kaido and the Straw Hats, right? Those people..."
Mo Lin's eyelids twitched fiercely.
The current situation is completely different from before. Before, they were all members of the Qianhe Pirates, so they could naturally cooperate sincerely.
but now,
With the participation of multiple forces, Du Bois and the others can defeat them one by one as long as they use small strategies!
What shocked him even more was that the dignified Five Old Stars actually ended up in person.
"That person couldn't be the Straw Hat boy, right? This..."
When people from all sides in the three gates appeared one after another, everyone held their breath involuntarily.
Such a lineup is too scary!
"Saab!!!"
the other side,
As soon as Long appeared, he immediately found Sabo lying on the ground. His body shook violently and his eyes were full of disbelief.
Sabo, whom he regarded as the next leader of the revolutionary army, died!
Keiichi Sonobe, on the other hand, looked straight at Hawkeye, with a somewhat complicated expression and even a hint of relief.
He has become stronger!
"Hey, little Shanks, you seem a little embarrassed!"
"You're not much better. You couldn't defeat Hawkeye alone. This is the price you pay for giving up the power of the rules and this body, Boya Hector!"
"You're such a tough-talking guy. Do you want to help?"
"...Help me hold off the dragon for a while. I have to deal with these five old guys first!"
Shanks frowned when he heard Hector's words, but he didn't refuse after all.
The combined power of the five old stars is beyond imagination, coupled with the strange ability of the dragon, he has hardly taken any advantage after fighting for so long!
"Help? You can't go anywhere."
Hearing this, Hawkeye snorted coldly.
Hector's intention was that he clearly regarded him as a minion who could be dismissed casually. At the same time, he had no habit of joining forces with others.
"Shanks...what a huge disappointment!" Turning to look at Shanks, who looked greatly changed, Hawkeye shook his head gently.
In terms of strength, Shanks has indeed become stronger now, but the power of his heart has declined instead of increasing!
He seems to have forgotten,
It was precisely because of his mortal body and tenacious will that he became stronger step by step, from his humble beginnings to what he is now.
"How can you understand the pain of losing a partner and the sadness of being powerless when you are alone!"
"Compared with the rapid progress when I was young, that body has already reached its limit!"
"Whether the result is good or bad, I can easily defeat you now, which is the best proof!"
Shanks said calmly.
He didn't have much time to wait slowly.
You must gain decisive power and become a member of the chess players before the wave of the times finally submerges you!
"It's very embarrassing, you guys." Glancing at Hector and Du Bois, Im frowned, obviously dissatisfied.
Hector was excusable because he had just exchanged the red-haired body.
But Du Bois…
"Hmph! You are so shameless, your opponent is still alive and kicking, isn't he?" Du Bois snorted coldly and said tit for tat.
Compared with the stragglers on the other two sides, the Qianhe Pirates who cooperated tacitly were very good!
"It would be too boring to just watch the victory or defeat."
Hector smiled and said: "I haven't fought so heartily for a long time. Sure enough, only the weak can enjoy the fun of fighting."
In addition to following in Joey Boy's footsteps and experiencing the tension of battle again, it was also the reason why he and the redhead swapped bodies.
If he still had his original body, fighting would immediately become boring!
To know,
He was the first person to follow Joey Boy, and his strength even surpassed that of Im.
"Besides, after pushing the captain to this point, you still can't let go of your pride!"
…
"Shanks?!!"
Opposite him, seeing Shanks chatting happily with Im and others, Luffy felt in a trance and couldn't come back to his senses.
Fortunately...
Are you still alive? It’s great!
After twelve years of not seeing each other, Shanks' appearance has not changed much. It's a pity that he will never see Jesus Bu and them again.
"Luffy!"
"…You came?"
"Feel sorry."
Ryuu wasn't surprised that Luffy didn't call him daddy. Sabo's death had exhausted all Luffy's energy.
Whether it's Luffy or Sabo, he has an inescapable responsibility for failing to take care of both of them!
"When I was in Mariegio, that man told me that you were in danger, and I wanted to hear your answer."
Slowly, Luffy came back to his senses.
unconsciously,
He and Shanks seemed to be on opposite sides!
What about his father, Long?
'Dragon is very dangerous. He wants to use the power of Su Mu Qianhe to destroy the 'd' clan and all the Tianlong people! '
'What that guy wants to create is a relatively fair world without huge differences, and completely end this karma that has lasted for eight hundred years! '
'Never take that man's word for it! '
Im's warning still echoed in his ears.
Maybe the dragon was not targeting him, but the person deep in his mind who almost replaced him, but Luffy still wanted to know the answer!
"..."
"In this world, the only people you can trust unconditionally are your grandfather and your mother Feilina."
"Felina? What a warm name!"
"Yes, that's your mother's name!"
Long's body trembled slightly, trying his best to suppress the grief in his heart.
Nineteen years ago, when naming Luffy, Felina said something similar!
"Like grandpa, is she also dead?"
"Well, many years have passed since you were a baby. "
"Is that so?"
Hearing this, Luffy smiled in relief.
No wonder, if she really loved him so much, how could she avoid him like the dragon.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
"The guy in my body is called Joey Boy. I won't lose to him!"
"Because...my grandfather is the naval hero Monkey D. Garp, and I have a gentle mother."
"One day, I will become the Pirate King and let my name be resounding in heaven."
Long: "I look forward to that day coming!"
Sauron: "..."
With Luffy's character, I wonder if it will disturb Kuina!
…
