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

If Zoro were here, he would definitely be enjoying himself, but he is currently engaged in a fierce battle with that centaur skeleton.

"I won't let you stop us!"

Brooke said this, then drew his sword and charged forward.

Don't underestimate his swordsmanship; he was once capable of killing someone in the morning and having them die at noon.

Can Hawkeye do that?

Brooke questioned this.

Rounding it off, his swordsmanship is better than Hawkeye's!

In the very center of the battlefield, the most important duel was raging fiercely.

Luffy stood atop the half-ruined building, the brim of his straw hat trembling slightly in the wind.

His gaze was fixed on Im in the distance, his dark eyes burning with fighting spirit.

Im stood amidst the ruins, black mist swirling around the massive body of the Saint of Vocuri.

Luffy naturally received Vivi's message as well.

Weiwei: "Everyone is retreating towards the port. How's it going on your end?"

Luffy smiled and said, "You guys go first, I'll be right there."

Chapter 626 Black Turn Domination

"But......"

"Don't worry."

Luffy adjusted his straw hat. "My most important task right now is to hold this guy off."

Or rather, what he wanted to do was send this guy named Im back to Mary Geoise.

Luffy: "If you don't want to come out, then this isn't a place for you!"

Im's eyes narrowed slightly. "Im is very angry now, Joy Boy."

The straw hat and smile in front of me were exactly the same as those of the man from eight hundred years ago, and an uncontrollable sense of irritation rose from the bottom of my heart.

Luffy: "Angry? Are you a pufferfish?"

Im: "Pufferfish?!"

Luffy interrupted Im, "Besides, I am Monkey D. Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King, not some Joy Boy!"

Im chuckled in exasperation, “That’s an interesting introduction.”

He slowly raised his hand, black mist gathering in his palm. "But Mu will not allow you to continue to run rampant. This is Mu's world."

"The world should be free!"

Luffy's fists collided, Armament Haki covering his knuckles. "I'll never belong to anyone. It seems we're really not a good match."

Last time in Impel Down, I needed Nika's help.

Now Luffy wants to test what kind of power this guy who calls himself the Lord of the World really has.

Seeing the man's posture, Im narrowed his eyes.

She really does look exactly like that man.

Marine hero Garp, despite being the ruler of the World Government, is a figure who receives little attention.

He said slowly, "The Monkey D family is really strange. They've been a headache for Mu ever since Garp. Dragon is like that, and so are you. It's just that you're given the name D. I don't remember you ever existing."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge magic circle suddenly appeared behind Im.

"A Paramecia-type Devil Fruit?" Luffy frowned.

However, subconsciously, I felt that the magic circle seemed completely different from the usual Devil Fruit abilities.

It seems that the ability that summoned the Five Elders from Mary Geoise to this place was also this one.

At the center of the magic circle was a pitch-black abyss, and the edges were covered with strange runes. Soon, a gun handle and a dagger were revealed within the magic circle.

Im reached out, grasped the gun handle, and slowly drew a gun.

It was a double-barreled shotgun, and its appearance was not fancy; in fact, it looked rather rustic.

With that dagger, it looked quite terrifying.

Im said coldly, "No matter what, your family has brought chaos to Mu's rule, and everything will end today. The Munch family should not exist."

The Straw Hat Luffy line ends here!

Is this all you're capable of?

Luffy looked at the gun with great interest. "It looks pretty powerful. Is the dagger your weapon?"

The last time Luffy and Im clashed at Impel Down, it was only for a brief moment.

At that time, Nika released all the Conqueror's Haki he had accumulated for eight hundred years in one go, because Luffy had not yet fully mastered Nika's power. Now, Luffy has defeated two Yonko by himself.

He grinned and said, "Come on! Let me see just how strong you really are!"

According to the information from the One Piece training program, the guy in front of me named Im is also a Devil Fruit user.

It's not a Paramecia type, not a Zoan type, and not a Logia type.

Instead, it is a fruit called the Devil Fruit.

The origin of all Devil Fruits.

Legend has it that Devil Fruits are fruits that give birth to devils from this world.

Each Devil Fruit contains a demon, and the person who eats the fruit is essentially letting that demon reside within their body.

This is why ability users become powerless when they fall into the sea, because seawater is the nemesis of demons.

But few people know that all Devil Fruits actually originate from a single fruit.

As for the power of this Devil Fruit...

Im threw the dagger, and despite not being a swordsman, the air seemed to be cleaved open, as if the walls of the surrounding houses were being cut open. Im then raised the double-barreled shotgun and pointed it at Luffy.

"In exchange for a portion of your lifespan, I will grant you greater power, and you will be at my disposal as atonement for the destruction you have caused to Mu's world."

The finger pulls the trigger.

"Black Domination!"

boom!

Gunshots rang out.

The mass of matter spread out in mid-air, transforming into a giant black net that descended upon Luffy.

Luffy raised an eyebrow, not even trying to dodge, letting the black, shadow-like spikes pierce through his body.

"Hey, is your ability some kind of juggling? Don't do this pointless thing. Anyone who didn't know better would think you came from a circus. Aren't you the ruler of this world?"

Luffy suddenly crouched down and then sprang out like a spring.

He transformed into a streak of red lightning, shouting, "Rubber... White Vibration Machine Gun!"

The huge black shadow in front of them was thrown into chaos.

So, it really didn't work?

Im frowned, as if he had expected this.

However, while the bullets and magic circles were ineffective against Luffy, they directly pierced through the area, hitting unfortunate pirates or marines.

"Ahhhh!"

They let out a series of piercing screams.

Immediately afterwards, a huge magic circle rose up beneath their feet, and everyone's body began to swell, their eyes turning pitch black with no whites, only abyssal darkness.

His fingers turned into claws, bat-like wings grew from his back, and curved horns sprouted from his head.

In just a few seconds, an ordinary human being was transformed into a demonic being.

His size is like that of a miniature giant.

Those who had become demons stopped screaming. He stood there, his eyes vacant, and then slowly turned around.

The next second, he lunged at his former companion, his claws slashing down, blood splattering everywhere.

His companions soon turned into demons as well.

Chopper, who was passing by in the distance, stared wide-eyed at the scene. This power seemed to be the same technology he had seen from Queen in Wano Country.

Could it be that Im is also a scientist?

That must be a very bad scientist!

"Is this Im's ability?"

Luffy steadied himself in mid-air, looked down at the scene below, and his expression became serious.

To turn people into beings like the Five Elders.

No, it should be said that the Five Elders themselves were beings modified by this ability.

They were once ordinary humans, but were transformed by Im using the power of Devil Fruits, turning them into the monstrous beings they are today. They gained near-immortality and terrifying combat power, but also completely lost themselves, becoming Im's most loyal puppets.

This is the Black Domination.

The origin power of Devil Fruits can transform any living being into a Devil's familiar.

Those who are transformed will completely lose their own will and become Im's loyal servants.

This double-barreled shotgun is the weapon that embodies this ability and allows for long-range attacks.

"That's a really uncomfortable ability."

Luffy landed on some ruins, the brim of his straw hat casting a shadow that obscured his expression. "Turning others into whatever form you want and then manipulating them at will—I will never forgive that!"
