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

The moment the stone door fully opened, the stone chamber was completely filled with an eerie atmosphere.

Roy took a step forward, and Qiu Shui was already unsheathed.

Behind him followed Luffy, Kaido, Mihawk, Loki, Shanks, Ace, Dragon, Red Earl, Yamato, Zoro, Sanji, Hancock, Bullet, King, and Beckman—a total of sixteen people. Their footsteps thudded in unison on the cold stone surface.

The stone chamber was ridiculously large.

The dome was so high that its top was invisible, and the surrounding stone walls were inlaid with faintly glowing minerals, making the entire stone chamber appear to be lit up and dimly lit.

Nineteen stone coffins are arranged in a neat circle, and in front of each coffin stands a human silhouette that is exactly the same as the coffin.

Shamlock knelt on one knee in the very center of the circle, and clumps of black energy emerged from his body, as if drained of blood, and slowly melted into the stone coffin.

Clearly, the ceremony had reached its final stage.

Hearing footsteps, Shamrock slowly turned his head.

A near-maniacal laugh hung on that withered face:

"You...you actually dared to come down here."

"Perfect... the ritual is complete... now await death!"

"Ahem!"

As the last few words escaped his lips, his body began to disintegrate from the soles of his feet.

Like weathered limestone, it crumbled into powder inch by inch, merging into the pentagram array beneath its feet.

The light from the magic circle suddenly surged, and a black and red beam of light shot up from the bottom of the stone coffin, piercing through the dome, penetrating the ground, and shooting straight into the clouds above Mary Geoise.

"Click."

The moment Shamlock finished speaking, the lid of the stone coffin in the center of the stone chamber cracked open.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth...

The nineteen stone coffins cracked one after another, like a row of eggshells being smashed at the same time.

The coffin lid fell to both sides, crashing onto the stone surface with a dull thud that shook the entire stone chamber.

Nineteen people emerged from the stone coffin.

The one in the lead had a pair of golden vertical pupils exactly like Hawkeye's.

He was tall and thin, wearing a black robe embroidered with ancient patterns, and his face was expressionless.

But when those eyes swept over everyone, it was like two knives scraping across each person's face.

He is the real Im.

The one that Luffy and Loki beat up in Elbaf was just a vessel used to hold their power.

The true king of the world has been lying here for eight hundred years.

The remaining eighteen kings emerged one by one from the stone coffin, their expressions arrogant.

Some were as burly as small mountains, some were as thin as bamboo poles, some had horns on their heads, and some had black mist floating behind them.

But no matter how their appearance changed, they looked at Roy and his group with the same condescending gaze as Im.

Im's gaze lingered on Roy for two seconds before sweeping over Luffy, Kaido, and Mihawk.

"good."

"Eight hundred years have passed, and you, this generation of descendants, are the first to push the World Government to this point."

He paused, his golden vertical pupils devoid of any emotion.

"Back then, Davy Jones and Joy Boy were both better than you."

But in the end, they all fell to us.

Luffy frowned as he listened from the side, swinging his arm as if to make a move, but Roy raised his hand and held him down.

Im seemed completely oblivious to the hostility and continued speaking:

"However, the fact that you've come this far means you're qualified to negotiate with us."

He raised one hand, and the sleeve of his black robe slid down to reveal fingers that were so pale they didn't look alive.

"Put down your weapons."

Hand over the fruit that was taken from Laugh Tale.

Then they swore allegiance to us.

"As a reward, you can share this ocean with us."

"You can become the new Celestial Dragons."

Enjoy everything we've enjoyed for eight hundred years.

The stone chamber was silent for a few seconds.

Luffy couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Kaido threw his head back and laughed wildly, while the Eighth Guard slammed his fist into the ground, causing the stone surface to crack with spiderweb-like patterns.

"Hahaha!

Old man, are you still half asleep?

Even at a time like this, you're still daydreaming!

Roy smiled too.

He looked at Im, and the slight smile on his lips looked like he was looking at a clown.

"You're used to being high and mighty, aren't you?"

Roy's voice was flat.

"They've cornered us right in our hideout, and they're still trying to negotiate with us."

"Have you all really gone mad from sleeping in those stone coffins for the past eight hundred years?"

The voice has not fallen,

The indigo light on Qiushui Blade surged, and with the help of psychic power, a blade of light that swept across the entire stone chamber slashed straight toward Im.

This strike was devoid of any fancy tricks; it was simply fast, ruthless, and precise—it was clear that...

I'd rather chop you up than waste my breath talking to you.

Im's face suddenly darkened. He raised his hand, and black mist surged in his palm, forming a black shield out of thin air.

The blade struck the black shield with a loud clang, shattering the entire shield into pieces and deflecting most of the attack.

The aftershock grazed Im's shoulder and sliced ​​a stone coffin behind him in two.

"Stubborn and obstinate."

Im's voice turned cold.

He took half a step back, and a hint of killing intent finally surfaced in his golden vertical pupils.

The next second, all eighteen kings simultaneously unleashed their Conqueror's Haki.

Nineteen terrifying, domineering forces erupted simultaneously from nineteen directions, like nineteen volcanoes erupting at the same time in a stone chamber.

The dome of the stone chamber cracked open with a loud crash, and rubble fell down like raindrops.

The entire city of Pangu trembled under this oppressive force, and the ground cracked open with countless fissures.

The oppressive force pierced through the rock layers, penetrated the foundation of Pangaea, and soared straight into the sky above Mary Geoise.

Dark red clouds, obscuring the sky, gathered at the top of the red earth continent, dimming even the sun under the pressure.

The Allied soldiers who were resting on the ground were pressed down by this overwhelming force from the sky, and they knelt down in droves.

Tesoro stood in the center of Pangaea Square, looking up at the dark clouds pressing down, his body crackling with lightning.

Roy hovered in mid-air, the tip of his Autumn Water Blade pointing diagonally at the ground, while the fifteen people behind him also assumed their fighting stances.

Luffy grinned, and white steam rose from his body:

"Go! Beat them to a pulp!"

Kaido let out a dragon roar, and blue dragon scales rose from beneath his skin:

"I've been waiting for this day for twenty years!"

Hawkeye gripped the black knife tightly in the night, his golden pupils as calm as a deep pool.

Shanks slowly drew Griffin half an inch from its sheath, a familiar smile playing on his lips.

Roy's gaze turned cold as he looked at the nineteen old monsters who had emerged from eight hundred years ago.

"Eight hundred years."

"It's time to settle the score."

"Yeah?!"

"Then let's see what gives you the confidence to stand up against the World Government."

As Im finished speaking, the eighteen kings behind him gathered around him, then soared into the sky, rising along the shattered dome.
