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

In the sky, the magic array absorbed all the black mist.

The black mist gathered more and more, and a huge black sphere of light gradually condensed in the center of the magic circle. Black and red lightning crackled on the surface of the sphere, emitting a chilling energy fluctuation.

Kaido cursed.

Barrett punched the black mist, the purple ghostly energy surrounding his punch creating a hole in the mist.

But they quickly regrouped and continued flying towards the magic circle.

"We can't break it apart!" Barrett roared.

Roy stared at the black orb of light in the sky, a chill creeping into his heart.

Meanwhile, Im stood below the magic circle in the distance, his black wings spread and black flames surging around him.

The cracks on his body had completely healed as he absorbed the black mist, and his body surface seemed to be covered with a new layer of black scales, shining like a mirror.

"Why do you think the Five Elders have followed me for eight hundred years?"

Im's voice echoed in the darkness, as cold as a wind blowing up from the abyss.

"Everything they own has always been mine."

As Im finished speaking, the magic circle trembled violently.

The central sphere of light, carrying earth-shattering pressure, crashed down like a black sun falling from the sky, pouring vertically into Im's body.

The black light exploded, and the shockwave blew everything within a kilometer radius away.

Kaido and Barrett had to cross their arms in front of them, their feet carving deep furrows in the ground.

Hawkeye plunged the Black Blade Night into the ground, freezing himself in place like a nail, but his clothes and hair were still being blown wildly by the wind.

Tesoro's golden realm was shattered by the shockwave.

Count Red teleported several hundred meters away, staring at the center of the black light with surprise and uncertainty.

Yamato was blown several steps away, but luckily Ace caught her from behind.

The black light lasted for more than ten seconds before slowly dissipating.

Im stood still, his body swelling up.

All the wounds inflicted by Roy and the others had disappeared, his body surface was as smooth as a mirror, and black flames burned around him, each flame seemingly alive, dancing in the air.

In Roy's perception, his aura had completely changed.

The aura that had been subtly waning has now become like a bottomless ocean thanks to the movement of the pentagram.

The sense of oppression was beyond measure; it acted directly on the soul, causing people to feel fear on an instinctive level.

Im opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of black smoke.

With a flick of his arms, a large amount of black mist shot out from his body, landing on the ground and transforming into ten twisted figures.

The first to emerge from the black mist was a knight clad in heavy black armor, wielding a jet-black halberd longer than his own height.

His face was a pure blackness, with only two eerie blue dots flickering through the gaps in his helmet.

The second figure was a monster with a human body and a snake tail. Its upper body was human, and its lower body was a coiled snake with scales that glowed with a dark red light.

The third path was a three-headed vicious dog, each head facing a different direction, its teeth dripping black liquid that burned small pits on the ground.

Faceless giants, spheres covered in tentacles, half-skulls...

A dozen or so figures lined up in a row, each with a different form, but all sharing the same chilling aura emanating from them.

These monsters did not breathe, had no expression, and did not even make any of the subtle movements that a living being should have.

They just stood there, like monsters that had grown out of the darkness.

Just then, a black mist monster suddenly moved.

The heavily armored knight swung his halberd and lightly swept it across the nearest patch of ruins.

The wind pressure generated by the halberd swept away all the broken walls and bricks within a hundred meters, and the ground at the point of impact was blasted into a huge crater. The bottom of the crater was as smooth as a mirror, and all the matter was wiped clean.

There was no explosion, no fire. The ruins simply vanished.

Upon seeing this, the faces of the Beehive Island allies turned extremely grim.

Roy took a deep breath.

His Observation Haki swiftly swept over the dozen or so figures, and with a slight thought, invisible wind blades instantly formed around these monsters.

"Swish swish swish~!"

The dense array of wind blades rapidly sliced ​​through the bodies of these black mists, but to no avail.

These monsters are made of pure black mist, so even if you hit them with Armament Haki, it will pass right through and have no effect.

"I'm afraid only Conqueror's Haki can affect them."

Roy thought to himself.

The problem is that the magic circle is still operating.

The black mist was continuously supplied from the magic circle. Even if someone used Conqueror's Haki to disperse a monster, the black mist would probably quickly reassemble its body.

Roy looked up at the magic circle.

It seems the root of the problem lies there.

As long as the magic circle is still operating, these monsters will not die.

Thinking of this, Roy made a decisive decision:

"Kaido, Barrett, Hawkeye, the three of you hold Im back."

The rest of you, focus your efforts on stopping these monsters. I'll go and break the magic circle.

Before anyone could respond, Roy's figure transformed into a streak of blue light and soared into the sky, rapidly flying towards the pentagram formation.

Roy flew higher and higher.

Looking down from a height of 100 meters, Elbaf resembles a charred chessboard, with firelight flickering in the darkness and plumes of smoke rising haphazardly across the island.

The pentagram formation was still spinning overhead.

The closer you get, the clearer the sense of oppression becomes.

The black and red lightning released by the magic circle surged wildly around, with several bolts almost grazing Roy's body, and the thunderous roar exploded in his eardrums.

Roy felt as if his mental energy was being torn apart by some force.

Countless whispers surged from the depths of the magic circle, noisy and chaotic, like countless people speaking at the same time, or like the breath of some ancient being.

He mobilized the power of the Soul-Soul Fruit to build a soul barrier around his consciousness.

He compressed his psychic field to three meters around his body, forming a solid, transparent shield that kept the whispers out.

The closer you get to the magic circle, the greater the pressure.

When he was close to 100 meters away, Roy's forehead was covered in cold sweat.

The patterns of the magic circle magnified before his eyes, the black lines like living blood vessels, pulsating slowly above his head.

The energy flowing within the patterns was as thick as liquid, and each flow carried a destructive fluctuation.

Just then, the battle on the ground also reached a fever pitch.

Kaido fully transformed into a dragon-human, and in his dragon form, the Eight Precepts, accompanied by heavenly thunder and earthly fire, clashed head-on with Im.

Im had just absorbed the black mist, causing his power to surge, and each of his strikes shattered Kaido's dragon scales.

But Kaido is a madman; he doesn't care about getting hurt.

Im slashed him with his sword, and he retaliated with a blow from Im's staff. The two fought so fiercely that the sky and earth trembled and the surrounding ruins were shattered.

Barrett filled in from the side, and with the amplification from the Momo-Momo Fruit, his punches were already moving faster than his physical limits.

With each punch, the armor on his arm cracked.

Hawkeye moved between the two, while Black Blade Night always kept himself within the shortest possible attack range.

His sword lacked Kaido's ferocity and Bullet's savagery.

But each strike precisely targeted Im's weakest point, forcing Im to divert his attention to deal with it.

The three of them worked together and barely managed to keep Im in place.
