I, Kizaru, only came to the chat group after I became invincible

Chapter 381 It's always been an open scheme!
"That's not something you need to worry about."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy violently flung away the lightning pillar in his hand.

With a terrifying whoosh, the enormous pillar of lightning pierced through Im's body.

Although she spread her wings in an instant, she didn't have time to escape the scene.

This bolt of lightning was already incredibly fast, and it was further amplified by the power of the Devil Fruit.

Im had already anticipated this, so her body was already covered with a large amount of black mist and Armament Haki.

Even so, the thick bolt of lightning still pierced through his body.

"Roar!!"

A deafening screech continued to ring out.

The sounds of extreme pain continued to spread.

This terrifying attack seemed almost unbearable for Im.

When the smoke from the battlefield caused by the lightning slowly dissipated.

The monster Im stood upright on the battlefield.

But one of her wings had been reduced to scorched earth.

As a gentle breeze blew, nearly 80% of the right wing had turned to dust and disappeared.

But soon the black mist seemed to come alive, constantly wriggling around the wound.

Like the giants that had been corrupted before, the black mist once again formed a new wing.

Im's condition after reappearing doesn't seem as good as before, but he's by no means weak at this moment.

No one around dared to underestimate this monster.

"What on earth is going on? Can this guy use this black smoke to live forever?"

Aruru almost pulled off his beard.

If Im can be defeated, there might still be a chance for Elbaf to be rescued.

If even this monster possessing Luffy's body can't defeat Im, then the giant race will probably all die on this battlefield.

"We must not allow the worst to happen; the bloodline and future of the giants cannot be lost to me."

Aruru's breathing was very heavy, his eyes fixed on Im on the distant battlefield.

To be honest, while the giants are formidable in individual combat, they are even more extraordinary when they form legions.

But they shouldn't be involved in this level of battlefield at all.

This time, I was completely unjustly attacked.

"Perhaps Harald was right back then. We should have chosen a side earlier, regardless of right or wrong."

Aruru's thoughts were very complicated.

He even somewhat understood Harald back then.

The giants possessed overwhelming fighting power, yet they lacked a sufficiently strong military force.

If they didn't rely on a powerful local figure, they simply wouldn't be able to survive in this world.

Harald may have chosen to align himself with the World Government because he had no other choice.

Unfortunately, he hesitated for too long, which ultimately led to his tragic death in that luxurious palace.

"Even if Harald had chosen to side with the World Government back then, our situation as a giant race would not be any worse than it is now."

Aruru shook his head helplessly.

Panzfry, standing to the side, scratched his head, unsure of what to say.

He didn't want to casually comment on Harald's character.

After all, through the various trials he had endured and the stories he had heard over the years, almost everyone said that Harald was a great warrior who laid a strong foundation for the giant race.

Harald was also the goal he had always strived to achieve, and he would never easily slander him.

Moreover, ever since he took charge of the relevant situations of some of the clansmen.

He increasingly understood how difficult the trials he faced as a ruler of a power.

There are many things to consider.

He often cannot make any decisions based on mere enthusiasm.

"Let history judge Harald's actions. We can no longer make new choices; we have already sided with the Navy."

Prince Loki, standing to the side, let out a soft sigh.

Despite being seriously injured, he always felt as if a huge burden had been lifted from his heart, which made him feel very comfortable.

In the past, he had to consider the interests of the entire race; now, he only needs to lie quietly on the edge of the battlefield and watch the fight.

The final outcome of the battlefield was no longer something he could control at will.

Zoro gazed at Im, whose wings had reformed, from afar. His mouth opened slightly, and as he looked at the longsword in his hands, his fighting spirit grew even stronger.

"So this guy's regenerative ability is this strong? I wonder if my attack can destroy this powerful regenerative life force."

As Sanji turned his head, he saw Zoro with a look of eager anticipation on his face.

"Hey, Green Algae Head, don't go up there and get yourself killed, or we'll all have to save you."

Sanji shook his head, somewhat speechless.

He knew, of course, how obsessed his partner was with fighting, just as he was with the art of cooking.

"But this is the first time I've encountered such a special opponent. I really want to use it to test my other attack techniques."

Zoro was filled with regret, but he also knew that he couldn't cause trouble for his other companions at this time.

"Has this guy always been like this?"

A giant cautiously questioned Robin on the right.

Robin covered her mouth and chuckled, saying, "Zoro aspired to become the world's greatest swordsman from a very young age. He longed to fight against different types of opponents and learn his own unique fighting skills from them."

"He has always practiced this principle."

The giants around couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"He is truly a warrior worthy of respect. If he were in the ranks of our giants, he would surely have made a name for himself!"

"Who says otherwise? If we survive this, we definitely have to have a good drink with that guy with the green hair!"

"A warrior that strong must have a pretty good capacity for alcohol!"

"No matter how good his alcohol tolerance is, he can't compare to me. I'm the biggest drinker in all of Elbaf!"

"Come on, with your alcohol tolerance, you can't even hold up half of mine!"

A group of giant warriors laughed loudly, oblivious to everyone else, and jokingly cursed.

They lay down even earlier than Prince Loki.

In any case, they couldn't beat any of them on the battlefield; they had never participated in such an easy battle before.

"Should we try to implement that seawater intrusion plan again?"

"Anyway, Im, that monster, should also possess the power of a Devil Fruit."

"He can't possibly not be afraid of seawater."

Usopp asked cautiously.

"I think this plan is unlikely to succeed."

Franky shook his head slightly.

As a designer, his thinking was naturally very quick, and his grasp of the situation was extremely precise. Even hiding inside General Franky's cockpit did not affect his judgment of the overall battlefield situation.

"Jinbe, what do you say?"

Usopp then turned his gaze to Jinbe, who was standing to the side.

Jinbe carefully observed the situation on the field. Just as he was getting ready to try, a violent energy shockwave suddenly emanated from the most important position on the battlefield and spread outwards.

"not good!"

General Franky immediately led Usopp in a frantic retreat to the rear.

Jinbe, standing to the side, was already rapidly surging through the seawater.

The three of them were somewhat close to the battlefield because they wanted to carry out the seawater flooding plan.

In a frantic escape attempt, they were finally able to leave the area covered by the shockwave.

Even so, the lingering shockwave still knocked all three of them over.

Fortunately, General Franky's body was made of a special metal and was positioned at the very front.

It dealt the first wave of damage to the three.

They eventually lay unharmed on the ground.

Usopp and his two companions looked around awkwardly, then couldn't help but burst into laughter.

But none of this could conceal the lingering fear deep in their eyes.

Regardless of whether their plan can be successfully implemented or how perfect their entry timing is.

By the time they actually got close to the core battlefield, that aftershock was enough to obliterate their bodies.

"Let's have a good time in the Sabaody Archipelago this time."

Franky suddenly made a suggestion.

"I heard that the Sabaody Archipelago has been almost completely destroyed. I wonder if when I go back, it will still be the prosperous place it once was."

Usopp couldn't help but stroke his chin.

"Going is fine, but if you come with me, you probably won't get much better treatment."

Jinbe shook his head speechlessly.

Despite his already formidable reputation at sea as a mermaid.

But not everyone in the world knows him.

If he were to appear inside other shops on the island, he would likely face various forms of discrimination from those people.

There's even a possibility that some clueless guys will come and arrest him.

Although with his abilities, he could easily resolve all these troubles.

But this will ultimately affect their travel itinerary.

The three of them tacitly avoided mentioning the seawater intrusion plan.

It's as if this plan never existed.

After all, they really wanted to help Luffy on the field, but there was no need for them to throw their lives away.

At this point, everyone knew their role: they could only stand on the sidelines and watch the game, and were absolutely not allowed to enter the field.

On the battlefield at this moment, Luffy's body still floated quietly in mid-air, with dark clouds covering the sky above and a large amount of lightning constantly swirling around his body.

His gaze was also fixed intently on Im, who was not far away.

In his monster form, Im's face grew even more somber as he reshaped his body.

The black mist on her body surface also became increasingly dense.

"Nika, I really underestimated you."

"But you can't kill me!"

Im wasted no more time and rushed over the moment he finished speaking.

Its ferocious body swept wildly over Luffy's location.

Luffy casually threw out a bunch of lightning bolts.

However, this time Im made no attempt to dodge, completely controlling the surrounding black mist as he charged forward.

A series of loud, crackling sounds echoed across the battlefield.

Then it was bombarded by dense lightning, making it as bright as day.

Numerous pits formed continuously on the ground.

If it weren't for the large amount of underworld energy that condensed into patches of ice crystals covering the ground...

The entire battlefield is probably already in ruins.

Elbaf could potentially fall into complete ruin.

boom! !

As the two continued their battle, loud roars echoed intermittently.

The giants, who had been chatting and laughing, fell completely silent, staring at the central battlefield in utter horror.

Although they had mentally prepared themselves, they still found it difficult to bear such an intense scene.

Meanwhile, high in the sky, Borsalino was closely monitoring the situation on the battlefield.

He could clearly see that Im, who was fighting in his monster form, was slowly losing strength, and the energy inside his body was gradually decreasing.

The black mist surrounding his body became increasingly thin.

The seemingly endless black mist that Im spoke of had long since begun to wane.

"To be honest, I still don't understand what this so-called underworld is all about."

Borsalino couldn't help but feel completely bewildered.

When Im opened the giant magic circle and the so-called entrance to the underworld, bringing Luffy and the others inside, he had already sensed it.

Even so, he still couldn't figure out what the temporary spatial node opened by the magic circle represented.

Without absolute certainty, he would never easily venture inside to investigate, lest he be unable to escape.

At that point, the situation in other parts of the world will completely spiral out of control.

"I can only assure you that the place is definitely not the legendary underworld, because the energy level inside is simply not high enough."

If that world truly is the underworld, then with the methods that Prince Loki and the others had already prepared, it would be impossible for them to easily cross the barrier between worlds.

"That place looks more like a small space, as if it were developed independently by Im."

"And the aura emanating from those monsters perfectly matched the aura inside that small space."

Borsalino couldn't help but shake his head slightly, then shifted his body and quickly plummeted downwards.

At this moment, both Luffy and Im were already exhausted from fighting.

The intense clashes between the two were gradually diminishing.

Even with this reduction, the subsequent energy fluctuations are still unbearable for others.

As the energy intensified, the group retreated further and further from the battlefield.

Under these circumstances, the giants' original homes are being destroyed in large numbers.

Those trees that had grown for hundreds of years were instantly turned into powder and debris.

"Even if we survive the battle, all that awaits us in the end is rebuilding our homes."
