The natural system started off strong, but the navy finally reached its peak!

The pure white flames, imbued with a purifying aura, seemed to have been infused with a soul, spiraling upwards along the blade's edge.

"Hey!! You self-proclaimed 'god' sewer rat!!"

He locked onto Im, channeling all his strength, domineering aura, shockwave, killing intent, and his unwavering resolve to "slay the god" into this single strike!

"Your script..."

Gern's voice was eerily calm, yet more chilling than any roar.

"It's time to end this."

"No!!" Im screamed with fear!

It knew all too well what the consequences would be if it were struck by the Eight Desolations Slash that was engulfed by "sparks"!

It tried to dodge, but Blackbeard didn't react in time, and the other two Elders were tied down...

Everything was a step too late!

Gern's figure moved at a speed surpassing any previous limit.

Ignoring spatial distance, it instantly appeared in front of the mutated Fengxi (Im), who had just been slightly stunned and whose movements were slightly sluggish!

The tip of the Eight Desolations Blade, burning with "sparkling flames," magnified rapidly within Im's suddenly contracting "pupil" of darkness!

For the first time, the shadow of death loomed so vividly over this "god" who had ruled the world for eight hundred years!

The eight wastelands, carrying with them raging starlight and a will to sever everything.

Just like before, from the upper right to the lower left, a simple yet extremely fast diagonal slash came down fiercely!

For the first time, Im saw clearly reflected the blazing white flame that made its soul tremble.

And eyes that are now completely devoid of emotion, compared to their unconscious state back then!

Just like before, this strike was too fast!!

"Do not!!!"

Im let out a shriek that was a mixture of the holy voice of Vocuri and his own will!

"Sizzle!!!"

The Eight Desolate Blades, burning with starlight, moved without hindrance.

It cut through the middle of the eyes of the Im-growth on the pointed head of the Fengxi, piercing through its entire massive body, and emerging from the lower left abdomen of the Fengxi!

Where the blade slashes, sparks fly and engulf the body!

"Ughhhhhh!!!"

"Stop! You bastard, stop it, you idiot!"

A scream so piercing it defies description!

God has been scorched by the blade of mortals.

But the spark that ignites the gods has only just begun to burn.

Just as Gern was about to take advantage of Im's injury and the moment his vessel was out of balance to deliver a fatal blow,

An indescribable and incomprehensible Conqueror's Haki appeared without warning.

With the force to sweep across the heavens and the earth, from the edge of the battlefield

It erupted with a deafening roar from the direction Emmett was lying!

That wasn't an impact, nor was it oppression.

That was... an echo of an era.

It is a message that spans eight hundred years.

It's Joy Boy's Conqueror's Haki!!

Chapter 715 Is this Joey Boy?

(Rewind to the second after Luffy's second Gear Fifth, when he entered the arena with a giant, shocking everyone.)

Emmett lay there quietly.

When Luffy's Gear Fifth drumbeat, brimming with the will to liberate himself, mingled with the giant's battle roar and the ferocious battle energy...

The second time it was clearly conveyed to its dormant core...

It was touched once again.

In the center of the enormous helmet, the light from the eyes flickered faintly.

It "sensed" what it had previously passed on to the young bearer of the will of D, regarding the "thing" in his lower left chest.

It seems the other party did not use it.

Moreover, Luffy himself is gone, but Im's presence has not disappeared.

A simple and direct logic formed in Emmett's mind:

The item remained unused... the carrier departed... and was thrown into a dangerous battlefield...

[Inference: The carrier may... encounter misfortune... or be forced to give up...]

[Threat source: High probability of interference from 'it' (Im)...]

A determination born from a long-standing commitment and deep remorse was ignited.

[Luffy... (It remembered this name)]

I... won't let you die...

[Joyboy... I'm sorry... once again... I have to use... the power you left behind...]

Emmett's arm began to move extremely slowly.

It bypassed its heavy breastplate and reached for an ancient button on its lower abdomen that was extremely well hidden and almost blended into the surrounding armor.

Just a gentle press.

"Click".

A slight mechanical sound.

The armor in the pressed area dented slightly.

Then it unfolds silently, like a precise Rubik's Cube.

It revealed an ordinary knot inside.

This knot may seem ordinary, but it contains what is sealed within.

The ultimate existence of a certain era... Conqueror's Haki!

[Joy Boy...the final...gift...]

Emmett's consciousness seemed to resonate with the knot.

Its fingers gently hooked one end of the knot.

Then, pull hard!

"Om—"

An indescribable Conqueror's Haki erupted from Emmett without warning, yet perfectly naturally!

This is not an attack, nor a deterrent, but a declaration!

A final cry and resonance from the warriors of liberation against the world, against oppression, and against the authority of "God," spanning eight hundred years!

This domineering aura is so powerful, so pure, so vast.

It swept across the entire island of Egherd in an instant, even breaking through the clouds and shaking the atmosphere!

It wasn't a destructive impact, yet it sent shivers down the spines of everyone within it.

Some may resonate with it, others may fear it!

In the center of the battlefield.

The sandworm (Pete Saint) being tightly gripped by Dorry and Itsumade (Maz Saint) who had just been slammed into the ground by Brogy.

These two vessels of the Five Elders are forcibly maintained by the Abyss Contract.

Under the onslaught of this liberating Conqueror's Haki that specifically restrains "contracts" and "darkness"!

"No!!!" Pittor's cry was filled with despair.

"My lord!!" Maz Saint's shriek came to an abrupt halt.

Starting from the parts of their massive bodies that were struck by the domineering aura, the dark energy evaporated and dissipated, returning them to their original form!

In the blink of an eye, they were forcibly dispersed and shaken back to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise!

The entire world, shrouded in this domineering aura, lost its color and its sound.

Dorry and Brogy froze, their massive bodies trembling slightly.

His eyes, as large as copper bells, were filled with unbelievable shock and... a throbbing deep within his blood.

“This…this is…” Dongli’s voice trembled.

“The Sun God… the true… aura…” Brogy murmured.

"Joe-I-Bo-I-!!!!"

Im, who was being pierced through by Gern's "Spark" and was suffering the agony of a burning soul, was in this familiar...

The moment its Conqueror's Haki, which it loathed to the extreme, erupted, it let out a shriek mixed with excruciating pain and endless resentment!

This roar directly confirmed the source of this domineering aura!

For a time, they were under both mental and physical torment.

It could no longer sustain its arrival!

An extreme sense of crisis led Im to make the most decisive decision!

“David’s descendants…the container…cannot be lost…!”

In the chaos, Im suddenly turned to the critically wounded and dying Blackbeard Marshall D. Teach beside him!

"In my name."

"Contract Transfer - Abyss Inheritance!!!"

A rune shot out from between Im's spiky eyebrows, ignoring distance, and instantly imprinted itself on Blackbeard's forehead!

At this crucial moment, Im forcibly severed the Abyss Contract connecting him to the Sacred Vessel of Vochuli and transferred it to Blackbeard!

It must protect this "container"! Even if it means temporarily abandoning this descending entity!

The moment the transfer was completed, Im's spiked head quickly became illusory and transparent.

It took one last "look" at Gern, who stood tall and imposing despite Joy Boy's domineering presence, before disappearing.

All that remained was the skeletal remains, continuously scorched by the starlight, reverting to their original form, then rapidly aging and turning into white bones.

On the coast.

The Straw Hat crew (Nami, Usopp, Chopper, Franky, Brook, Atlas)

I was so overwhelmed by this sudden, immense, and domineering aura that I almost suffocated.

They all stood frozen in place, their faces filled with disbelief.

For the first time, Mihawk showed clear shock and confusion!

He tightened his grip on "Night" slightly, looked up towards the source of the overwhelming aura (where Emmett was), and muttered to himself.

"Whose is this Conqueror's Haki...? Has such a will... ever truly existed?"

The western battlefield.

The fierce battle between Kizaru, Enel, Kuzan, and Aramaki was also interrupted by this domineering aura!

Because Aramu bears the "Deep Sea Contract" (a secondary contract), he is under the impact of Joy Boy's domineering aura, which specifically counters "contracts" and "darkness."

His body felt as if it had been struck by a heavy hammer; he let out a muffled groan, and was forcefully thrown back by an invisible force.
