One Piece: From the God Valley Era

Chapter 61, Fine, I give up, you win.

Sudden...

Junzi, who was speaking, suddenly changed the subject, and a look of fear appeared on his face.

The look of terror appeared to be on Junzi's face, but it was actually on Im's body.

The one who is truly terrified is not the gentleman, but Im.

Because he sensed the presence of a man.

That's right, this man is Acnoya!

Im's Observation Haki sensed his presence and that he was rapidly approaching the location.

"Lord Im, are you referring to Acnoya?" Satan asked.

He also activated his Observation Haki, but did not sense Acnoya's presence.

Perhaps his Observation Haki range wasn't wide enough to detect Acnoya's whereabouts.

"It's him!" Im exclaimed.

"However... I didn't sense any killing intent from his aura!" Im added.

"I think he's still afraid of Lord Im," Satan said cautiously.

Are you afraid?

The other two elders remained noncommittal.

Why are there only three of the Five Elders here?

Naturally, it was because the fourth of the Five Elders, Izambaron V. Nassurou, was away on a mission.

That's right, he went to the West Blue to find Vegapunk, and this time he plans to bring Vegapunk back.

As for Caesar and Quinn, they were merely extras.

As for the Vinsmoke boy, he should go back and obediently inherit his family's throne.

After all, recruiting this kid would be using the World Government's money to help the Vinsmoke family grow stronger.

They would never do something so stupid.

"Fear!?" Im stared at Satan with his round eyes, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger.

Satan lowered his head in fear, not daring to meet his gaze.

"Hey, Im!"

Just then, a tremendous sound came from above Mary Geoise.

And that voice was none other than Acnoya's voice; the Five Elders and Im would never forget it.

"Lord Im, it's Acnoa's voice! He's come to Mary Geoise!" Satan moved his lips and whispered, a hint of fear in his eyes.

Yes, fear.

Mazsaint died, and right before his eyes, leaving an indelible mark on Satan's eyes.

This also led him to be somewhat afraid of Acnoya.

He was also afraid of death, afraid of being killed.

Upon hearing this, Im glared at him but didn't speak, though his eyes conveyed what he wanted to say.

I'm not deaf, do I need you to remind me?

Satan lowered his head and remained silent.

The other two elders were the same, not daring to speak.

Boom!

Just then, a ray of sunlight streamed into the conference hall.

When they looked up, the roof of the conference hall was gone; it had been completely ripped off, and Acnoya's figure appeared above them.

And they were looking down at them with a condescending gaze.

In the past, if anyone dared to look at them like that, they would be courting death, or even becoming slaves and suffering endless torture.

But the man in front of me is called Acnoya.

They can't handle it, they can't handle this man!

"Hey, you're all here." Acnoya hovered above everyone's heads, greeting them with a big smile.

"Acnoya, it really is you!" Im clenched his fists, staring at the man in the air, his face somewhat grim.

"Im?" Acnoya asked with a disdainful look. "No, I should call you Junzi."

"When will you dare to come out and see me?"

"It's been hundreds of years, are the aftereffects of being defeated by Joy Boy still that severe?"

"That guy's dead, you're worrying way too much!"

"Or do you think Joy Boy will reappear in this world?"

"That makes sense. The Nika Fruit has its own consciousness and will definitely find a suitable host to be reborn in. When that happens, it will definitely try to harm you."

"Am I right, Im?" Acnoa smiled slightly.

He could actually understand Im's thoughts.

This is the Dao Heart that was shattered by Joy Boy and has not yet recovered.

That's why he was so terrified by Joey Boy's domineering presence that he didn't dare to show his true face to anyone.

This has been true even in the past eight hundred years.

And now, after Joy Boy's passing, there's Acnoya.

Why, why won't they let me go?

Upon hearing this, Im's expression changed slightly, and his eyes began to wander.

Why, why does this guy know so much information?

I know I am Im, not a gentleman.

Who exactly is this guy?

He was beginning to suspect that the man in front of him might be connected to Joey Boy, otherwise he wouldn't know so much information.

"Why...why are you here!" Im didn't answer that question, but asked another one instead.

At the same time, his body is also beginning to shift.

I can't stay here any longer.

"Why did you come here?" Acnoya gave Im a deep look. "I wanted to tell you that I'm going to the West Blue to find Vegapunk."

"He's the one I've set my sights on, and I was the one who contacted him first. You all need to understand the importance of first come, first served."

"And don't run away, I've been watching you the whole time, you can't escape!" Acnoya looked in a certain direction.

He had been observing this place with his aura, observing the Celestial Dragons, Im, the Five Elders, the Knights of God, and a large number of slaves.

This is truly a place of evil; killing all these guys wouldn't be a problem at all.

However, he wasn't confident.

After all, Im was someone who defeated Joy Boy. Although he was timid, he still had strength.

He wouldn't attack Im unless he knew all of Im's trump cards or if he himself was invincible.

They might get corrupted and used against their own people.

Of course, he could also use the Demon Sealing Wave, but that was only a last resort, and dealing with a powerful enemy would cost him his own life.

After all, he didn't have any Senzu Beans.

He has an ageless body, but is not immortal.

Im's expression changed drastically.

He had no idea that his every move was being watched by Acunoa.

This man is terrifying, even more terrifying than Joy Boy.

"Don't worry, I won't kill you!" Acnoya said.
