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

Im has been defeated again since he appeared on the field.

His shoes left two deep grooves on the scorched earth, and he retreated dozens of meters before regaining his footing.

Loki's vertical pupils, like two golden suns, were fixed intently on Im.

"So this is your level?" Loki scoffed.

"Is that all there is to it?"

Loki lunged forward again, and he and Im fought from the ground into the air, and from the air into the forest.

Wherever they went, everything was reduced to ruins.

The clash between Iron Thunder's lightning and Im's black flames resembled two ancient ferocious beasts tearing at each other.

The sky was divided in two by two kinds of light: the left half was a dark red sea of ​​lightning, and the right half was a jet-black tide of flames.

Loki became increasingly aggressive as the fight progressed.

His right shoulder was cleaved open by Im's black blade, leaving a deep wound that exposed bone, but the muscles healed within a few breaths.

His ancient giant physique combined with the regenerative power of the Nidhogg Fruit gave him the ability to fight Im head-on for a short period of time.

"Is that all you've got?"

Loki laughed wildly and slammed Im from the air to the ground with his hammer.

Im crashed into the mountainside, splitting the entire mountain in two, sending rocks flying in all directions like a torrential downpour.

But Im did not fall.

He stood up from the pile of rubble, his black robe torn in several places, revealing unnaturally pale skin underneath.

"I admit, you are better than your father."

Im's voice remained calm, but there was a very faint hint of anger in his tone.

"But that's all."

He raised his black sword, and the black flames on the blade condensed into the shape of a dragon, lunging towards Loki.

Loki raised the Iron Thunder, and lightning gathered into a wall in front of him.

The dragon-shaped black flames crashed into the lightning wall with a loud "sizzle". The two forces remained locked in a stalemate for a full three seconds before exploding simultaneously.

Loki and Im were both thrown back by the blast.

Meanwhile, at the edge of the battlefield, Luffy, who had been blown there by some unknown force, finally regained consciousness during the time that Jabba and Loki bought for him.

Luffy gripped the broken tree branch and slowly pushed himself up from the ground.

The piercing wound in his chest was still smoking, but he could feel the awakened power of the Nika Fruit rapidly repairing his body.

Unlike when he first awakened six months ago, Luffy has now learned how to "reboot" his body when he is on the verge of death.

He looked up at Loki, who was locked in a fierce battle with Im in the sky, panting heavily.

He staggered toward Jabba.

Jabba lay on the massive tree root, covered in blood, one of his arms severed at the root.

At this moment, a bandage of unknown origin is tightly wrapped around the severed arm to prevent it from bleeding to death.

"Old man." Luffy knelt in front of Jabba, his voice hoarse.

Jabba struggled to turn his eyes and look at Luffy.

He grinned, his lips already split open in a terrible way.

"You...you're still alive."

Luffy nodded.

"Who exactly is that guy?" Luffy asked.

"Why is he so strong? Why does he know you? Why does he want to kill me?"

Jaba opened his eyes, looking at the distant sky reddened by flames, his voice broken and intermittent.

"Im... the true master of the World Government... eight hundred years ago, he defeated Joy Boy... and then established the world we have now..."

Roger went to Laugh Tale... He hid everything there... But Roger said... they went too early... the timing wasn't right..."

Jabba coughed, and blood gushed from his mouth.

"Now...you've arrived."

He looked at Luffy, and the light in his eyes slowly faded.

"So, it's your turn... to finish what Roger didn't do..."

He didn't finish speaking.

But Luffy understood.

Luffy stood up and wiped the blood and ash from his face.

"I don't care what kind of god he is."

Luffy turned around and looked at Im, who was fighting Loki in the distance. His voice was soft, but every word seemed to burn from his heart.

"If they're enemies, just beat them to a pulp."

Chopper ran over from a distance, stumbled and rushed to Jabba's side, opened the medical kit and began to treat him.

But Luffy is already gone.

He walked step by step toward the battlefield between Im and Loki.

Every step he took made the ground tremble.

With each step, the white steam emanating from his body grew stronger.

Zoro and Sanji, who were in the distance, also ended their entanglement with the Five Elders.

The Five Elders were repelled once again, but this time they retreated even deeper, as if they had sensed something even more terrifying.

The entire battlefield was divided into three parts.

Robin, Brook, Franky, and the giants fight against the demonized giants.

Zoro, Sanji, and the Five Elders are fighting in the scorched earth, while Luffy is heading towards Im.

He wasn't walking fast, but he was increasing his pace with every step.

The Ark Maxims, Part 1.

Roy hovered in mid-air, his Observation Haki weaving the entire battlefield into a dense, intricate web.

He could sense that Luffy had stood up again, and the Nika Fruit within him was frantically draining Luffy's life force.

With each step Luffy takes, his injuries heal at an astonishing rate.

Loki had been locked in combat with Im for nearly ten minutes.

The Five Elders were also held back by Zoro, Sanji, and the Giant Elder.

"It's about time to push it in."

He said something in a low voice, as if he were discussing it with himself.

Cyrus's voice came through the communicator:

"The Hades warship has arrived at the designated position, and the Sea Stone cannons are ready."

"Hit," Roy said.

The cannons of the three Hades warships simultaneously lit up with white light.

Seastone shells streaked across the sea like meteors, bombarding the remaining CP fleet near Elbaf.

Explosions rang out one after another, and huge columns of water shot up from the sea.

Barrett was already standing on the ship's side, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.

Beneath Tezzolo's gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes were narrowed so much they resembled two thin gold lines.

"Boss, can we make our move now?"

Roy glanced back at the officers behind him and gathered everyone together:

"Once inside, the battlefield will be divided."

Kaido, Barrett, Hawkeye, you and I await the final moment to enter.

The rest of the team, leading their subordinates, advanced simultaneously on the ground to expedite the elimination of the remaining World Government personnel.

"What about Im and Luffy?" Barrett asked.

"You don't need to worry about that," Roy said.

Barrett raised an eyebrow but didn't ask any further questions.

The sea breeze blew Roy's black trench coat, making him billow backward. He glanced in Im's direction again, then smiled.

"Set off."

On the main battlefield of Elbaf, the battle between Loki and Im continues.

Loki's offensive was ferocious and outrageous.

In his hands, Tie Lei was like a thunder hammer that could split the heavens and the earth, each swing carrying the destructive power of thunder.

Despite his enormous size, his movements were incredibly fast, and he clashed with Im's black blade in close combat, resulting in a back-and-forth battle.

"What's wrong! Aren't you very capable?!" Loki slammed his hammer into Im's black sword, slamming Im from mid-air into the ground.

The moment Im landed, the ground collapsed as if struck by a meteorite, causing a radius of 100 meters to crumble.

Black flames erupted from his body, forcing Loki back a few steps.

"Are you scared because you're not saying anything?"

Loki continued to press, stepping across the collapsed ground, and Tie Lei swung his sword down towards Im's head.

Im looked up, and a hint of impatience finally appeared in his cold eyes.

"Rude," Im uttered two words indifferently.

He raised one hand and caught Tie Lei's hammer head directly with his palm.

The lightning on the hammerhead surged wildly toward Im's palm, but it vanished the instant it touched Im's skin.

It felt like being sucked into an invisible black hole.
