Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Shen Jue's voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

"You self-proclaimed gods!"

"Die by my blade!"

The three-pointed, double-edged sword was raised high.

In that instant, the entire sky of Mary Geoise vanished, replaced by a white crack that pierced the heavens and the earth.

What poured down from the crack was not light, but pure, extreme destructive power—a special force born from the fusion of the Nine Heavens of Magnetic Rotation and Conqueror's Haki, powerful enough to crush everything in the One Piece world.

Before the blade even fell, the Red Earth Continent was already emitting a dying groan under its pressure.

The rock layers at the top of the continent peeled off like layers of shortbread, and billions of tons of soil and rocks rolled to both sides, forming two giant waves of mountains surging in opposite directions.

The seawater from all four seas surged back in a frenzy, then, in the lingering warmth of the white fiery clouds, transformed into a steam curtain stretching for thousands of miles, obscuring the entire sky, as if the world were reliving the beginning of creation.

Im tilted his head back, his unfathomable pupils reflecting the approaching glint of the blade.

The demonic energy surrounding him surged wildly like a boiling abyss, transforming into countless black weapons that hovered around him.

Those were all the royal weapons left behind by the kings of twenty kingdoms eight hundred years ago.

Each swing of the sword by Im with all his might is enough to wipe an island off the sea chart.

"Im will not perish." Im's voice came from the depths of the demonic energy, his voice trembling with extreme anger and fear.

"The order of the sea will never be handed over to you."

He raised his hand, and all the demonic weapons turned their sharpness around, pointing directly at the sky.

The next second, Im soared into the sky, transforming all his demonic energy into a boundless sea of ​​demonic energy, which collided violently with the falling three-pointed double-edged sword.

The collision occurred, and the sky and the earth lost their original colors.

White light and the black sea exploded directly above Mary Geoise, like the singularity at the beginning of creation, where it exploded, expanded, and annihilated.

The red continent was torn in two by an unparalleled force, with the crack in the continental shelf extending to the seabed at a depth of 10,000 meters.

At the center of the collision, intense light and demonic flames intertwined to form countless destructive ripples that spread throughout the world.

Wherever these ripples passed, matter was directly annihilated, and the atmosphere was torn to pieces.

At the same time, an unprecedented tsunami erupted in the outer sea of ​​the Red Line, with walls of water thousands of meters high surging outwards from Mary Geoise as if the ocean itself were fleeing this destruction.

The continental shelf is like a piece of wood in a raging storm, constantly breaking apart, collapsing, and disappearing into the towering waves.

But just as the aftershocks of this battle were about to reach the entire ocean, they were completely stopped by the electromagnetic field of the Nine Heavens of Magnetic Rotation that had been laid out beforehand.

Above the sky, white fiery clouds tore through the clouds, penetrated the stratosphere, severed the boundary of the stratosphere, and brought sunlight from outer space directly to the sea surface.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the whole world shook.

Im's sea of ​​demonic energy was torn in two like a black cloth by the blade. His figure appeared in the demonic energy, his arms crossed, and the inscriptions of the Deep Sea Contract flashed wildly, trying to block this earth-shattering blow.

At the center where light and darkness intertwine, most of Im's sea of ​​demonic energy has vanished.

Before the three-pointed double-edged sword even touched Im.

Im's body disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Starting from the fingertips, they turn into black ashes, only to be constantly pulled back by the inscriptions of the Deep Sea Contract.

The inscriptions of the Deep Sea Contract gradually dimmed, no longer able to provide even the slightest restoration.

"No!" Im roared in his final moments, his entire body transforming into a pure black light as he charged toward the blade of the three-pointed double-edged sword.

"Hmm, I don't believe it!"

The moment Im clashed with the blade, this world king, who had existed for over eight hundred years, turned to ashes.

Starting from the sky above the former Mary Geoise, a white curtain of light washed the entire sky clean like a torrent.

The black light was extinguished, torn apart, and vanished without a trace.

Shen Jue's three-eyed silver-armored giant still loomed over the sky, his three-pointed double-edged sword slowly retracting and lying horizontally beside him. A wisp of extremely thin black smoke rose from the blade and then dissipated into the world.

His third eye on his forehead slowly closed.

"it's over."

Shen Jue's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present.

The dust from the battlefield had not yet settled, but everyone had already seen the changes in the sky.

The demonic energy representing Im has vanished completely, as if it had never existed.

Those powerful individuals on Shen Jue's side who lacked the ability to levitate had already reached the back of Loki, who had transformed into a black dragon.

They witnessed a moment of deathly silence fall over the ruins of Mary Geoise after that voice faded.

Immediately afterwards, the World Government, having lost the support of Im's demonic energy, began an irreversible collapse.

The first to shatter were the Five Elders, who were closest to the sea and most deeply affected by the Deep Sea Pact.

Their immortality was like that of a puppet whose skeleton had been removed; their skin lost its luster at a visible rate, their eye sockets became sunken, their muscles shrank, and their hair fell out like autumn leaves.

Eight hundred years of time caught up with them in the blink of an eye.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the figures of the Five Elders began to turn to ash inch by inch from their limbs, like stone statues that had been eroded by the wind for eight hundred years, finally ushering in their belated collapse.

"No! Impossible! I am immortal!"

One of the Five Elders, resembling a skeleton, knelt on the ground, his arms gone. He tried to smash his remaining head forward, but before it hit the ground, he completely crumbled into ashes, which were swept up by the sea breeze and scattered throughout the rift valleys of the Red Earth.

More powerful figures from world governments turned and fled.

But their legs no longer belong to themselves.

The running motion lasted only half a step before the body, like clay dehydrated for a thousand years, crumbled into dust along the way.

The ashes spread like a plague, sweeping down from the top of Mary Geoise.

The once invincible high-end combat power of the World Government was crushed into dust by time itself before it could even utter a cry of despair.

Only a handful of people are still struggling to hold on.

They were not yet old enough to instantly decay into ashes, but at this moment, these last survivors had already seen their end.

The giant claws of the black dragon that Loki had transformed into crashed down from the sky, slamming down on the survivor's figure.

Where the dragon's claws landed, the earth was as if it had been bombarded by a meteorite, with millions of tons of debris exploding to both sides.

At this moment, numerous powerful figures attacked simultaneously, their moves raining down like a storm, engulfing, crushing, and completely erasing the last few dark figures, giving them no chance to turn the tide.

As the smoke cleared, not a trace of demonic energy remained in the sky above Mary Geoise.

The red earth continent split in the middle, and the waters of the four seas slowly converged through the giant gap that ran through the continent.

The steam curtain had not yet dissipated, and sunlight poured down from the torn sky, illuminating the ravaged land.

Shen Jue still hovered above the sky, his three-pointed double-edged sword standing beside him.

"The era of world governments has ended."

The silence lasted for three seconds.

Perhaps longer, or perhaps everyone simply forgets how to breathe at the same time.

Until Loki, transformed into a black dragon, raised his neck first and let out a roar that resonated throughout the heavens and earth, aimed at the sky torn apart by the white flames.

The howl contained no words, yet it was like a key that unlocked the door in everyone's chest that had been suppressed for too long.

Then, cheers erupted like a tsunami.

"We won!"

It's unclear who shouted that first.

"Im is dead!"

"The World Government is finished!"

"We really did it!"

Hancock knelt on the dragon's back in a girlish kneeling position, leaning against the hard scales, tears streaming down her face.

The fishmen laughed loudly, their laughter echoing through the steam curtain.

Hina stared at Shen Jue in the sky with her mouth agape, unable to utter a sound, but tears streamed down her face.

These powerful individuals, from different seas, different races, and under different flags, cheered.

Fishmen, Mink Tribe, giants, Revolutionary Army soldiers, and even a few lone wolves who have been enemies of the World Government for many years.

At this moment, everyone was shouting, hugging, crying, and laughing like children.

"The era of world governments has ended."

"it's over!"

People repeated it over and over again, as if if they didn't shout it out loud, it would all shatter like a dream.

Sabo knelt on the dragon's back, his voice hoarse, but his smile revealed his teeth: "Everyone! We really did it!"

Kella, wiping away tears, punched him lightly, yelling, "Don't shout so loudly, you idiot!"

But she herself was shouting.

Luffy, who had been playing a minor role throughout and was protected by Garp and Dragon, also felt the joyful atmosphere and shed tears along with everyone else.

With a thought, Shen Jue activated his electromagnetic field, causing the rising water vapor and the dust cloud to return to the ground.

The sky opened up, and sunlight poured down like a waterfall, illuminating the fractured red earth continent, the two opposing mountain ranges surging in opposite directions, the massive rift that pierced the continent, and the silver-armored figure suspended in the sky.

"Marshal Shen Jue!"

We love and respect you!

The cheers on the sea surface and those on the dragon's back merged into one, the sound even drowning out the roar of the seawater rushing in.

At the fracture point of the red earth continent, the waters of the four seas slowly converge.

That was the first time in eight hundred years that the four seas were truly connected as one.

The seawater crashes against the newly formed strait, white waves surge up, refracting countless tiny rainbows in the sunlight.

Shen Jue remained standing with his sword, the white flames on the three-pointed, double-edged blade flowing like a spring, reflecting his smiling face.

At that moment, a dark figure shot up from the broken cliff and flew toward him at an extremely fast speed, using the Moon Step technique.

The dark figure suddenly slowed down as it approached, finally hovering in front of him, revealing Garp's tired yet heavy and joyful complex face.

"Shen Jue, kid," he said, his voice deep and fervent.

"You win."

Shen Jue looked at him and nodded.

Garp suddenly laughed. This former naval hero, who belonged to the World Government, spread his arms wide and roared at everyone present: "The freedom of the sea has been restored today!"

"Oh!" Everyone cheered in unison!

At the other end of the dragon's back, Luffy had already jumped onto Loki's head, one hand on his straw hat, and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"Brother Shen Jue! The banquet is starting!"

His voice pierced through the cheers.

Shen Jue finally turned her face around.

He looked at the rubber boy on the dragon's head, who was grinning with tears streaming down his chin, then glanced at all the faces below, slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a sliver of silver light appeared on his forehead through the third eye.

"Alright," Shen Jue said. "It's time to hold the banquet."

A breeze swept through the straits of the newly formed red earth continent, carrying the scent of the four seas, and blew across the entire ocean.

On the Pluto battleship, Shen Jue, who had returned to human form, finally saw Shanks, one of the Four Emperors of the Sea, who had arrived late and was raising his hands in surrender.

Faced with the return of many powerful figures and the news of the world government's demise.

The remaining Revolutionary Army, the King Hunter Guild, and the members of the New Navy also let out joyful cries.

In this atmosphere, Shanks, along with Rayleigh and Jabba, walked up to Shen Jue.

"Let me state in advance that I have disbanded the Red-Haired Pirates. We are now a free adventurer group belonging to the private sector."

Shanks, with his hands raised, gave a smile that revealed the purest and kindest part of his heart.

It won't do to be impure or unkind. The redhead saw the scene of Shen Jue fighting Im from a distance.

He wisely refrained from coming to the Red Earth alone, and instead stood between Shen Jue and Im, saying strange things like "give me some face."

Rayleigh and Jabba, who accompanied him, wisely chose to advise Shanks not to try to interfere in the final battle between the new Marines and the World Government after sensing the aftermath of the battle on the Red Line.

Shanks followed the advice and, under the watchful eyes of the new Marines and Revolutionary Army who remained on the Pluton battleship, finally awaited the victorious return of Shen Jue and the others.

"It seems you made a wise choice," Shen Jue said with a smile.

Beside him, several giants from the Giant race were happily walking by carrying stacks of drinks that were dozens of meters high.

The entire Hades warship is being transformed into a gigantic banquet hall.

"That would be unwise," Shanks said helplessly. "I've been avoiding meeting you."

"But I never expected that our first meeting would be under such circumstances."

"I am willing to tell you everything we know about the mysteries of history and what exists on the final island."

Shanks revealed a piece of information about the truth of the One Piece world that Shen Jue's previous life had been very concerned about.

Shen Jue smiled and shook his head, saying, "None of that matters."

"Since you've chosen to give up acting as a pirate..."

"Then let's join our banquet."

Seeing that Shen Jue was not interested, Shanks nodded in agreement and stepped back.

Because he had encountered a giant fish-man and Hina from the new navy rushed to Shen Jue's side.

Sure enough, the next moment.

"Brother Shen Jue!" Two unanimous shouts made Shen Jue smile and open his arms to welcome the impact.

Bai Xing still held Shen Jue firmly against her broad chest.

Meanwhile, Hina, who had also rushed over, stood to the side, looking somewhat jealous. After all, at this moment, the little guy Shirahoshi had chosen to enjoy Shen Jue's embrace all to himself.

Sensing Hina's low spirits, Shen Jue took the initiative to gently push Shirahoshi away with a smile, then floated into the air with a smile and patted Shirahoshi's head.

Shen Jue landed, walked to Hina's side, and took her hand. Hina gave him a bright and radiant smile.

At the same time, Shen Jue patted Bai Xing's scaly tail and said to Bai Xing's tearful face, "It's all over now."

"We won."

"Hina, don't be too harsh on Shirahoshi."

"She did it because she was so happy."

Shen Jue, holding Hina's hand, met the eyes of the two women and said, "You are both my wings."

There's no need to create a rift between us over this.

The banquet officially began when Shen Jue raised his first glass of wine.

A whole barrel of rum fell from a height, rolled a dozen times on the deck, crashed into the mast, and broke open with a "bang," spilling the golden liquid all over the ground.

This elicited a burst of cheerful laughter, and no one cared who had knocked over the barrel.

The four brothers, Shen Jue, Ace, Sabo, and Luffy, sat in a corner.

The four of them had a pile of various kinds of food in front of them.

Meat with bones, seafood rice, donuts, takoyaki, and even a three-tiered wedding cake were carried in by the giant chef as if he were carrying a hat with one hand.

Luffy, with a piece of meat still attached to the bone in each hand and a third stuffed in his mouth, his cheeks bulging like balls, shouted indistinctly into the distance, "I want another boatload of meat!"

"Are you a bottomless pit?!" Sabo laughed and lightly punched Luffy on the head.

Luffy didn't care at all and continued to eat large chunks of meat.

Ace sat cross-legged beside him, laughing uproariously as he watched his younger brother still acting like a glutton.

Shen Jue held the wine bowl, looked at his three brothers who had never changed since childhood, gently shook his head, tilted his head back and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Brother Shen Jue! Drink some more!" Luffy came over, picked up a glass of wine, and mumbled with a big piece of meat stuffed in his mouth.

"Swallow what's in your mouth first."

"Swallowed!" Luffy opened his mouth wide to show it, and then immediately stuffed in a large piece of roasted meat.

The chefs on the Hades battleship were extremely busy.

Chefs from all over the world and the Grand Line wielded their spatulas with incredible speed and skill.

They even roasted several sea monsters on a pedestal, the grease dripping and the rising smoke carrying a fragrant aroma.

On the other side of the deck, Garp and Sengoku sat side by side, their faces flushed from drinking.

Garp had one arm around Sengoku's shoulder, and in the other hand he held up a wine bowl bigger than his face, his beard shaking with laughter.

"After this cup, there are still three more to go! Sengoku!"

"Hey! Who wants to drink this much with you?!"

"I want to go and see the younger generation of naval personnel!"

Garp laughed and said, "You should just resign as Fleet Admiral sooner rather than later!"

"There can only be one Fleet Admiral! And that's Shen Jue! Hahaha!"

Sengoku was furious and got into a fight with Garp. In the end, the two old men were pulled apart by Aokiji and Kizaru, one on each side.

The naval commanders watched this scene with considerable helplessness.

"Seniors, let's not tear things apart at the banquet," Aokiji said lazily, holding his wine glass.

"How terrifying~" Kizaru sipped his drink. "Is the Navy about to descend into internal strife?"

"What nonsense are you two brats spouting?" Garp said with a blush.

At that moment, Sengoku snatched the senbei and grilled meat from in front of Garp and stuffed them into his mouth, chewing them for a while.

"Ah! Sengoku, you bastard!" Garp and Sengoku started fighting again.

At this moment, the new and former naval commanders around them burst into laughter.

Whether they belonged to the new navy or the original navy, the officers and soldiers were all sitting under the same lights, shoulder to shoulder, bowl to bowl.

"Justice..." Aokiji gazed at the calm sea in the distance, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Marshal Shen Jue, we will steadfastly advance towards gentle justice."

Kizaru didn't speak, but simply raised his glass and offered a toast in the direction of Shen Jue.

At the stern, fishmen, giants, mink, long-armed, long-legged, and dwarfs sat together in several huge circles.

Despite belonging to different races, they put aside their differences and cultural distinctions, and at this moment, they happily ate meat and drank wine together.

Shirahoshi sat in another spot, her tail dangling into the pool prepared just for her, gently slapping against the surface.

She was surrounded by a group of little children who were braiding little flowers into her hair.

Bai Xing smiled and lowered her head, making sure the little people could reach her.

"Thank you for helping me with the flower arrangement."

The little children stood with their hands on their hips, incredibly proud.

Just then, the searchlights of the Pluto warship all turned towards the sea, illuminating several approaching fleets in the distance.

More and more ships came from all directions—merchant ships, fishing boats, revolutionary army transport ships, and freedom ships flying different flags—laden with food, wine, and news of victory, bringing even more people eager to join the feast.

Vegapunk's robots glided through the crowd, each carrying a tray.

More robots appeared, replacing the soldiers on duty and the chefs performing their duties, so that they could also join in the grand feast.

Several drunken revolutionary soldiers tried to arm wrestle with the robot, but were pushed aside by the robotic arm and fell into a barrel of wine, splashing wine everywhere and causing laughter.

"Don't bully my machine!" Vegapunk's voice came from the loudspeaker, tinged with helplessness.

"Dr. Vegapunk! Come on, let's have a drink!" Someone raised their glass towards the direction of the voice.

"I'm drinking it!" Laughter came from the loudspeaker.

"And one more thing! Don't vomit on the Hades battleship!"

The laughter and joy were like the endless waves of the ocean.

"The waters of the great river~"

"Coming from the sky~"

"Riding the wind on my sword, I vanquish demons across the land!"

"Hahaha!"

As the furry Howling Sky recited poetry, he drunkenly brandished the iron sword in his claws, using the sword dance to entertain himself.

The silvery-white sword light and sword energy created a strange dance that was both deadly and beautiful.

Hawkeye, standing to the side, drank while watching Xiaotian's swordsmanship with wide eyes.

Whitebeard's side, along with Vista, the Flower Sword, and many other powerful swordsmen, gathered around Xiaotian, laughing and celebrating.

Enel, meanwhile, was drinking heavily while looking up at the sky. For some reason, his heart, which longed for the boundless earth, began to stir again.

Nico Robin, with a smile, raised her glass and approached Rayleigh and Jabba. As a historian, Robin, now that the hatred between her and the World Government had finally ended, longed for the truth of eight hundred years ago and the information about the final island.

Little Chopper, amidst the praise of the many new naval officers, kept raising his glass and swaying his body as he danced.

He stayed on the Hades warship during Shen Jue's decisive battle with Im.

When the news of Shen Jue's victory arrived, Chopper was discussing the invention of a panacea with Dr. Vegapunk.

As a reindeer doctor who longs to relieve everyone's suffering, Chopper seems to be very close to his dream.

The tall bear sat cross-legged on the deck, while his daughter Bonnie smiled and kept handing her father more drinks and food.

The revolutionary soldiers sat together in great joy, their laughter and cheerful voices filling the air.

Ivankov, the transvestite queen, delivered a cringe-worthy dance performance, and then burst into tears amidst the laughter of the crowd.

The leader of the revolutionary army, Long, sat alone, watching his father and son drinking so happily. He rarely smiled, even though he had been under immense pressure for a long time, and cheerfully raised his glass.

Hina laughed and raised his glass, as did Drake and Smoker. Beside them, the new navy soldiers drank together, including the blind swordsman Ichisho, who looked very happy.

Shen Jue sat between his brothers, his smile never changing, but at this moment, he thought of his parents who died when he was young and his relatives from his previous life.

Seeing that Shen Jue's aura was somewhat downcast, Ace suddenly spoke up. He didn't smile, but said in a very gentle tone, "Brother Shen Jue, thank you."

Luffy also turned his head to look over, his mouth stuffed full, but his eyes were clear.

Sabo didn't say anything, but simply held out his bowl and gently touched the rim of Shen Jue's bowl.

Shen Jue smiled, tilted his head back and drank the wine in his bowl. The four brothers clinked their bowls together at the same time, and the wine rippled in the bowl.

In the distance, Loki transformed back into his giant form, sitting cross-legged on the deck, resembling a small mountain.

He was carrying a piece of roasted meat in one hand and a giant bucket in the other, drinking with several giants.

The entire Pluto warship was brightly lit, and from bow to stern, singing, laughter, clinking glasses, snoring, and crying mingled together, carried by the sea breeze in all directions.

As the banquet progressed, someone began singing a folk song from their hometown.

Everyone who heard the song joined in singing along to the melody.

Singing mingled with laughter and cries echoed across the vast sea; as a folk song faded, someone else began to sing a new one.

The banquet continued until the moonlight reached the sky.

A new era, the era of Shen Jue, has arrived.

Within the white space, Pirate King Shen Jue returned to this place with a joyful heart.

The scene remains unchanged, with many Shen Jue gathered around an electronic screen, watching the memories of the Shen Jue and others.

At this moment, Pirate King Shen Jue noticed that Dragon Clan Shen Jue was whispering something to Death God Shen Jue.
