One Piece: The user of the Nen-Nen Fruit, who overturned the sea.

Unkillable.

No matter how hard you try, you can't kill it.

A young giant was pounced on by the three-headed monster at the same time, and tentacles and claws instantly wrapped around his limbs.

He screamed and struggled, but could only watch helplessly as more monsters pressed down on him.

"Run! Run! Run!"

The strangest thing is that even though some of those monsters were eliminated,

But they still kept emerging from the shadows, from the firelight, and from the children's discarded drawings.

What's even more despairing is the plight of the children.

The giant children lined up, as if pulled by invisible threads, and walked step by step toward the wilderness outside the village.

Even though Saul, Robin, Chopper, and the others shouted desperately to wake the children, it was to no avail.

Their eyes were empty and lifeless, and their small bodies cast long shadows in the firelight, like a group of puppets being sent to the altar.

"Those children! Where are they going!"

Nami witnessed this scene as soon as she arrived in the Upper Realm, and her voice trembled.

Zoro squinted and scanned the battlefield, his gaze quickly locking onto several figures that were completely different from ordinary monsters.

A tall, slender figure stood behind the monster horde, one hand outstretched, black mist swirling in his palm, his lips moving silently as if chanting some kind of incantation.

Gom Saint.

The most enigmatic member of the Knights of God.

As Luffy watched the children heading into the wilderness, a vein throbbed in his temple.

"Stop the children!"

He shouted behind him and charged forward.

With the fifth gear activated, his long white hair danced wildly in the flames, and black and red Conqueror's Haki lightning surged wildly from his body, cracking the ground wherever it passed.

He punched a giant monster blocking his way.

The monster had three faces, and its body was made of writhing black gelatinous substance. Luffy's fist struck it...

My entire arm sank in, and the thing didn't even break apart.

Luffy's expression changed slightly.

The Conqueror's Haki lightning exploded from the fist, and the monster's body finally couldn't withstand it, letting out a piercing scream as it burst open from the inside.

"As expected... only Conqueror's Haki could disperse these monsters."

Luffy muttered something to himself, then turned and called out towards Zoro and Sanji:

"Haki is only partially effective against this monster! Only Conqueror's Haki will work!"

In the distance, Sanji was surrounded by three monsters when he heard those words.

His Demonic Wind Kick shattered a monster's head, but the fragments reassembled in mid-air, transforming into a smaller, more ferocious creature that lunged back.

"Bastards! Who are these things? No matter how I fight them, they just won't die!" Sanji gritted his teeth.

Jabba was already standing at the entrance of the village without anyone noticing.

With two massive, double-edged axes, nightmare monsters were cleaved in two.

Jabba looked at the chaotic battlefield with a blank expression.

"These monsters are just the surface."

Jabba suddenly spoke, his voice not loud, yet it reached the ears of everyone present clearly.

"That guy used his nightmare ability to materialize the children's dreams."

You can't kill things in a dream with swords or fists.

He looked up and his gaze fell on Luffy, who was fighting against the monsters.

"The Straw Hat Boy is right."

Conqueror's Haki can harm them.

But having Conqueror's Haki alone isn't enough.

Zoro cleaved a monster in two, glancing at Jabba in between:

"What do you mean?"

"Conqueror's Haki is the embodiment of will, an extension of your soul."

Jabba said.

"You also need to focus your Conqueror's Haki on your attacks; simply releasing Conqueror's Haki won't be enough to deal with these monsters."

Therefore, what can defeat Nightmare is not simply Conqueror's Haki, but your mastery of it.

As he spoke, he looked at Sanji.

"Blonde boy."

Sanji was taken aback: "Huh?"

"That kick you just delivered was on the verge of awakening Conqueror's Haki."

Sanji paused for a moment.

"Are you kidding me?"

"I don't have time to joke with you."

Jabba said calmly,

"The kick you gave that shattered the monster's head was imbued with Conqueror's Haki."

You just haven't realized it yet.

Sanji looked down at his right leg.

He recalled that moment just now, and there was indeed something different.

When he kicked out, all he could think about was...

That was the only thought on my mind, "I'll blast this thing away."

"So what should I do?" Sanji asked.

"Try to incorporate all your emotions, and all the people you want to protect, into your beliefs—"

Only then can you qualify to become a crewmate of the Pirate King.

Sanji took a deep breath.

He closed his eyes, exhaled the cigarette from his mouth, and then lightly tapped the ground with his toes.

The image shows the owner, Zhefu, teaching him how to cook in the kitchen of the floating restaurant.

The way Zoro, that bastard with the green moss head, argued with him.

Nami counting money in the cabin.

Robin reading a book on the deck.

The way Chopper handed him salt with his hooves.

And Luffy.

That idiot captain who always says "I want to become the Pirate King" is the one who protects everyone with his life in every life-or-death situation.

"I'm... a crewmate of the Pirate King!"

Sanji suddenly opened his eyes.

Black and red lightning erupted from his body, spreading down his right leg and intertwining with the black flames of the Demon Wind Kick.

A pure power, never before seen in Sanji, suddenly erupted.

"boom--!!!"

He kicked it out.

Black flames and black-red lightning intertwined into a tornado, uprooting the three-story-tall monster.

Flames burned through every inch of the monster's body, and Conqueror's Hide Lightning completely shattered the black mist that was trying to reform.

The monster disappeared.

Jabba stood behind Sanji, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"That's more like it."

Sanji looked down at his feet.

His legs were still trembling slightly, a trait entirely of his own making.

"So... I have it too," he said softly.

Jabba patted him on the shoulder: "Let's go. There's still a fight to be had."

"Not bad! This lousy cook." Zoro grinned.

"Hmph, swordsmen, just keep wielding your swords." Sanji turned and kicked another monster.

What followed turned into a massacre.

Jabba, along with Sanji who had awakened his Conqueror's Haki and Zoro who had arrived, advanced towards the center of the battlefield.

The Nightmare Monsters were as fragile as paper under the combined attack of the three's Conqueror's Haki; they were defeated with a single punch, without exception.

Zoro's Sanji provided support from both sides, completely eliminating the monsters that had escaped.

Kirin Gomsaeng attempted to ambush Jabba with the Nightmare Fruit. His figure blended into the shadows and emerged from the flames behind Jabba, his hands forming claws as he stabbed towards the back of Jabba's head.

But before he could even touch Jabba's hair, Jabba had already turned around.

A dark purple-black lightning bolt enveloped his palm and struck Qilin Gom Saint directly on the top of his head.

The sound of skull shattering was so crisp it made your teeth ache.

Kirin Gom's head exploded, and the core of Black Transformation Domination was affected by Conqueror's Haki.

His body fell to the ground, the churning black mist still trying to reconnect the destroyed body.
