Their plan went very smoothly, and soon Joy Boy found the guardian of the historical monument—Queen Lily—in the castle of the Great Kingdom!
That's right!
After reaching an agreement with Joy Boy, Queen Lily did not immediately join Joy Boy's team.
After all, her family, the Neferutari lineage, were still with the army of the Twenty Royal Families. If she were to directly rebel, the fate of her family members would be unimaginable.
So after the war began, Queen Lily found an excuse to run back.
Because she already held a certain leadership position among the twenty kings, no one suspected that she would betray them.
Even Im never imagined that Queen Lily would betray him. He easily believed the "fact" that Joy Boy had used the Sun Crystal to kidnap her.
It's fair to say that if Joy Boy hadn't already given away his quota of demonic powers, and if taking it back required the death of one of the Twenty Kings, he would have wanted to bestow his power upon Queen Lily.
In Im's view, all twenty royal families will eventually become tools in his hands.
Only a woman like Queen Lily is qualified to share the world with him!
That's right, Im has always secretly loved Queen Lily.
Previously, he dared not reveal his status because he was powerful enough, but now that he possesses formidable strength, he hopes to gain Queen Lily's voluntary surrender.
Unfortunately, Im's wish was not fulfilled.
Queen Lily never revealed any romantic feelings to Im until after the war ended.
After the war ended, the much-anticipated process of dividing up the spoils naturally followed.
Although Im now holds absolute dominance, he also knows that he cannot accomplish anything on his own.
He needs tools, he needs the best tools.
Therefore, he was not stingy at all about the post-war pie, allowing the other kings to divide it up.
In any case, whatever they ultimately receive will still be within the World Government's control.
The World Government belongs to Im!
Lily, who didn't participate in dividing the cake, voluntarily found herself an unused spot...
To deal with those historical monuments erected by Joy Boy.
Whether it was Im or the other eighteen kings, these things were absolutely not allowed to remain in this world.
However, this job offered no perks and required utmost care, so it smoothly fell into the hands of the unassuming Neferutari clan.
This allowed Joy Boy's plan to proceed smoothly.
Under Queen Lily's manipulation, she used the power of the Sun Crystal to enhance the Devil Fruit ability of Toki Amatsuki, allowing the then innocent young girl to easily traverse time and space even when faced with a colossal object like the Poneglyphs.
As each piece of the Poneglyph was transported, Queen Lily used the Sun Crystal to give the Heavenly Moon Fruit's power a final enhancement.
This time, however, she wasn't enhancing the Devil Fruit's power, but rather the strength of Toki's ability when she used it once.
Under normal circumstances, the fruit's power amplified by the Sun Crystal can only allow items to travel to twenty years in the future at most.
This time, with its enhanced abilities, Tengetsu can teleport items for over eight hundred years in a single transaction!
That's right, this time, Joy Boy and his team are preparing to send the Sun Crystal to the future!
Furthermore, even the location can be freely chosen by the heavens and the moon.
They would never allow Im to regain control of such a dangerous object as the Sun Crystal and have the opportunity to use its power.
Otherwise, this world would never see the light of day again.
After some discussion, Joy Boy and his friends finally decided that the location where the future sun crystal would appear would be the very island he had created to help more people adapt to the sea—the Final Island!
Finally, in order to prevent this world from being ruled by demons, everyone here, as well as Joy Boy's companions, were assigned special missions.
For example, after Queen Lily left a letter for her younger brother in the Nefertari family, informing him of her succession to the throne...
Then, Amatsuki activated her Devil Fruit ability again, sending her to a point in the future.
She plans to use time travel to escape Im's gaze, and then establish an organization dedicated to researching and searching for historical monuments to warn future generations.
If nothing unexpected happens, she will name this organization "Ohara"!
On the other side, Joy Boy's companion, Emmett, a giant robot created using lunar technology and solar crystals when Joy Boy was King of the Void, will also be sent to the future to wait for Joy Boy, who also has plans to travel through time.
They plan to find allies who have been recuperating for hundreds of years in the future, build a stronger army, and launch another attack on the great kingdom.
The war between them and Im will definitely not end so easily!
This will be a war that lasts at least eight hundred years, or even longer...
An epic battle!
Chapter 538 The past is the past, the present is the present
At this moment, Joy Boy had exhausted all his last means.
Having lost his power, all he can do now, besides hating his own naiveté, is to entrust everything to the future.
As one by one his companions, burdened with special destinies, were sent away, Joy Boy was once again left all alone.
Just like his first voyage.
At this time, Joy Boy was only just reaching his youth, relative to his long lifespan.
But after experiencing all this, he was exhausted, and even his once youthful face was etched with the marks of time.
Some people can leave, but some people cannot.
Joy Boy did not allow the Moon to send him to the future.
He wants to give it one last shot!
Whether it's out of resentment or to ensure smoother operations for their partners in the future.
In short, this was an inescapable fate for Joy Boy.
With Joy Boy's encouragement, an army was pieced together once again.
This time, however, the number of people willing to fight alongside Joy Boy was noticeably smaller.
On the one hand, the power displayed by Im and the allied forces of the Twenty Kings was too great, and they saw no hope of victory and were unwilling to make a pointless sacrifice.
On the other hand, many people are unaware of this...
The World Government, established by Im and the Twenty Kings, is not as simple as Joy Boy's vast kingdom.
Therefore, it was no surprise that Joy Boy and his friends lost the battle!
Despite Joy Boy, who possessed immense strength, giving Im a sound beating during the war and sending him fleeing in terror, he still couldn't offer much help to the overall battlefield.
Furthermore, the backlash from defeat was far more severe than Joy Boy had imagined.
The fish-men and mermaids, who had failed to fulfill their promises but had helped Joy Boy fight the war for years, were directly judged by the World Government as inferior beings with no human rights and were treated no differently than livestock.
Secondly, Wano Country, which possesses the ability to inscribe historical monuments, was directly forced into isolation, and could only rely on its natural geographical advantages to keep Im's forces outside the island.
The Mink Tribe... their treatment is not much different from that of the Mermaids. It's just that because the damage the Mink Tribe caused to the World Government was not obvious, they were not pursued further, but this also deprived the weaker members of the opportunity to walk freely in this world.
The fates of other races were even more tragic, but that no longer mattered.
Tian Shi Yue, who had helped Joy Boy complete an important mission, even activated her Devil Fruit ability to dodge a potentially fatal attack by traveling through time.
Fortunately, Tian Shiyue's time travel was already part of Joy Boy's plan.
To prevent their plan from going wrong and the Sun Crystal from falling into Im's hands again, Tian Shiyue must travel eight hundred years into the future, to the time when the Sun Crystal will appear, and find someone who can use it to gain control of it.
In Tian Shiyue's memory, she only knew of two places where beings with the ability to control the bloodline of the sun crystal existed.
One is Wano Country, a homeland she was born in a vast kingdom and had never seen before.
When she was with Joy Boy, she witnessed the Kozuki clan using solar crystals to control giant flying machines.
Another place she could seek was Queen Lily's homeland—Alabasta.
However, when Tengetsu suddenly traveled through time and space, he did not know the location of Alabasta, nor did he know whether Queen Lily's brother had made Nefertari a Nioh family as she had instructed.
Therefore, while it may seem that there are two choices facing Tian Shi Yue, in reality there is only one.
And so, every now and then, a little girl would appear in this world, searching everywhere for the location of Wano Country.
Of course, Joy Boy has no way of knowing any of this.
Having suffered another defeat, he has completely lost the ability to compete with Im in this era.
He eventually found several important historical locations that had been sent to the near future and brought them to the final island.
In a secluded place, Joy Boy, already exhausted from the successive battles, met his end.
……
……
"Is this how history is...?"
Upon arriving at Laugh Tale, the final island, the Straw Hat crew members all wore expressions of wistful resignation after listening to Robin's translation of the Poneglyphs.
It must be said that Joy Boy's life was indeed full of legendary color.
He was the first to set sail and explore the world, and in his youth he accomplished the feat of traversing a planet. He then led humanity to overthrow the dictatorial rule of the Lunaria race and transformed the Kingdom of God into a vast kingdom suitable for human habitation.
He possesses immense charisma; otherwise, so many people wouldn't be willing to fight alongside him against the World Government, even knowing they are no match for him.
Unfortunately, Joy Boy trusted others too much, which led him to squander his advantages and plunge the world into misery because of his naiveté.
"but……"
Just as his companions were all immersed in Joy Boy's epic life, Crimson suddenly chuckled softly:
"Joy Boy's personality is really just like yours, Luffy!"
"No wonder so many people in the futures I see see you as Joy Boy."
"What the heck~"
Luffy pouted unhappily, "I won't let that guy Im defeat me!"
"So you admit you can do the same stupid things as him, right?!"
Red smiled, which immediately made Luffy stomp his feet in anger.
