One Piece: Starting with the execution of Pirate King Roger

Im let out an incredulous roar of pain.

The massive, mountain-like body lost its balance under the terrifying force of the chopping motion and crashed backward. His remaining sanity attempted to activate the power of the Float-Float Fruit to regain his footing, but Rein gave him no chance to catch his breath.

The violence and murderous intent aroused by the illusion surged wildly in Raine's chest.

He casually dispersed the giant thunder sword in his hand. The hundreds-of-meters-tall thunder god avatar shattered the void beneath its feet and savagely pounced on the off-balance Im.

Renn abandoned all fancy moves and engaged in a direct confrontation.

Fa Xiang's azure arms shot out suddenly, grabbing Im's black wings that were trying to flap from behind. With a roar from Rein, amidst the sound of flesh being torn apart, Im's demonic wings were ripped off by the roots!

"Roar--!!!"

Im's screams echoed through the sky. He tried to retaliate with his remaining giant claws, but was slammed into the chin by a powerful knee strike from Renn, breaking several of the Great God's fangs on the spot.

The two clashed fiercely in the skies above the Red Line. Each purely physical impact caused a violent tremor in the atmosphere.

Im's near-perfect phantom beast body was utterly reduced to a broken toy to be trampled upon in the face of Rein's enraged Dharma form. The Azure Dragon's reverse scales were forcibly peeled off inch by inch, its undying azure flames were extinguished by the raging plasma, and the Nine-Tailed Fox's giant tail was mercilessly crushed off.

Raine was like a tireless crusher, grinding all of Im's abilities into dust with the most primal and savage violence.

The remaining phoenix, Qingyan, had barely produced a spark when it was smashed into a bloody pulp by Rein's ferocious punch; the true god's gigantic maw, which was trying to spew out icy air, had its jaw torn apart by the Thunder God's Dharma Image, and its shrill roar turned into a leaky whimper.

"it's over!!!"

Raine let out a deafening roar. The colossal body of the Thunder God's Dharma form suddenly arched backward in mid-air, its fists clasped together at the highest point, fingers interlaced, transforming into a heavy hammer wreathed in dark red hues and blinding plasma.

Aiming at Im's already mangled Buddha head, it slammed down from above!

"Thump—!!!"

A terrifying, muffled thud that silenced the entire world exploded high in the sky.

A ring of sonic boom clouds, visible to the naked eye, centered on the two people, shattered the thick, leaden-gray clouds in the sky, creating a huge hole with a diameter of tens of miles.

Im's massive body, subjected to violence that defied all reason, completely lost its ability to stay airborne and plummeted rapidly toward the ruins of Mary Geoise below.

The intense air friction ignited blinding flames on Im's broken body, and the sharp sound of the wind breaking through seemed like nature's death knell for Im.

"Boom—!!!!!"

The moment it crashed to the ground, the entire red earth continent let out a painful, agonizing groan.

The Pangu City ruins, already reduced to ruins, were completely vaporized by this terrifying kinetic energy impact. A gigantic mushroom cloud of dust, thousands of meters high, shot into the sky, blotting out the sun.

The bottomless cracks in the earth's crust tore and spread along the impact center until they pierced through the rock walls of the red earth continent, causing the seawater below to rush wildly into the depths of the rift valley.

The wind howled, and it took a full quarter of an hour before the billowing dust that blotted out the sky was finally dispersed by the sea breeze.

At the bottom of the circular crater, which is several kilometers in diameter, the rocks have been scorched into a translucent, dark red glass-like substance, reflecting distorted firelight with every undulation.

Im lay in the blood pool in the very center of the pit.

That once perfect body, which had incorporated all the mythical creations of the world, was now nothing but a pile of gruesome rotten flesh and broken bones.

The broken dragon bone pierced his own chest cavity, and spiderweb-like black cracks crawled all over the golden Buddha skin. With each breath, a mouthful of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed from his leaky throat.

He instinctively wanted to summon the flames of the phoenix to repair his damaged body.

"Sizzle... Pfft..."

A faint blue flame flickered at his fingertips before being instantly extinguished by the remaining violent plasma within his body.

In Im's concentric eyes, a feeling called "despair" flashed.

He possessed all the power, except for the immense will that Renn possessed, which brought together the life and fury of the entire planet.

Countless abilities are defeated by pure will.

Chapter 346 The Fall of Im

Im stared at Rein, who was hanging high above him.

The look in their eyes is that of a crazed beast driven to the brink of despair.

"If the Void Throne is destined to remain empty..."

Im no longer attempted to mobilize any power to repair the broken body.

He completely unleashed the remaining power within his body.

On his dark brown skin, the densely packed runes suddenly erupted with an unprecedentedly dazzling red light. This red light did not radiate outwards, but rather collapsed wildly towards his heart.

He is igniting his own essence.

Accompanied by a blinding red light, his massive, stitched body rapidly withered, as if drained of all moisture. The severed Azure Dragon arm turned to ashes, and the golden image of the Buddha peeled away inch by inch. In exchange for the possibility of mutual destruction, he unhesitatingly sacrificed all his power.

In the blink of an eye, he regressed to the size of a normal human.

Im flipped over and plunged his bare, skeletal hands into the hard, glassy rock beneath him.

"Then let this planet be buried with you."

The extremely compressed, pitch-black demonic energy flowed along his arms, which were deeply embedded in the ground, like a raging dragon entering the sea, and poured wildly into the deepest rock veins of the Red Earth Continent that led directly to the Earth's core.

The entire red earth continent convulsed violently.

The remaining ruins began to tilt and collapse on a large scale. Abyssal fissures, hundreds of meters wide, started from Im's arms, which were deeply embedded in the ground, and began to tear wildly in all directions of the Red Earth.

The destructive fissure pierced downwards through the thick continental shelf, causing countless deep-sea volcanoes to burst open under the force of this violent energy. Scalding magma erupted from the earth's crust, reacting with the frigid seawater and triggering a series of violent explosions in the dark depths.

The chain reaction followed the earth's veins, causing it to plummet rapidly into the deepest part of the planet.

"Boom-"

A deafening roar, extremely muffled, reverberated from the depths of the Earth's core, tens of thousands of meters below.

The seawater that poured into the cracks surrounding the Red Line was instantly boiled by the extreme heat emanating from the earth. Vast plumes of billowing white steam rose into the sky, enveloping the entire Red Line in a boiling, scorching white mist.

The New World, a sea area completely swallowed by murky floodwaters.

The massive Moby Dick was violently rocked by the raging waves.

"Dad! Another massive tsunami is crashing down on port!" Marco, on the mast, wiped the torrential rain from his face and shouted down.

"Gurararara, that's just the aftershock!" Whitebeard said, striding to the edge of the ship's gunwale. His large, veiny hands clenched tightly, and a dazzling white halo instantly appeared on his fist.

"boom!"

A powerful shockwave slammed into the void. The atmosphere in front shattered like a mirror, and the tsunami, tens of meters high, was pulverized by the invisible shockwave, turning into a torrential downpour.

However, at the very moment he shattered the tsunami, the magnanimous smile on Whitebeard's face suddenly froze.

He suddenly raised his head and looked in the direction of the Red Earth.

At the edge of the horizon, the sky, which had been shrouded in dark clouds, was now displaying an eerie, flickering light. Lightning and black mist were intertwining wildly.

Thousands of nautical miles away, on another ocean.

The deck of the Redford was crowded with survivors who had just been pulled ashore. To appease these shivering civilians, the Red-Haired Pirates incongruously held a makeshift "feast" amidst the apocalyptic downpour.

Raki Lu was distributing steaming hot broth, while Yasopp stood on a wooden tub, playing an off-key accordion.

Shanks is holding a large glass of rum and making funny faces in front of a child, making the little boy laugh through his tears.

"Hahaha, that's it! Even if the sky falls, I'll still drink this glass of rum with a smile!" Shanks laughed and tilted his head back, ready to down the rum in one gulp.

Without warning, the smile on his face froze instantly.

The wine glass stopped at his lips, and the amber liquid rippled uncontrollably in the glass.

As if an invisible, cold blade was pressed firmly against his throat, Shanks suddenly stood up, his right hand instinctively pressing against the "Griffin" at his waist.

"Boss?" Ben Beckman, who was standing nearby, noticed something was wrong.

Shanks did not answer. He pressed on through the raging storm, his gaze fixed on the distant red earth continent, completely engulfed by the boiling, high-temperature white mist.

A fine layer of cold sweat appeared on his usually composed face in the blink of an eye.

“This is insane…” Shanks’ voice was a little hoarse. “This is really insane, Brother Renn, you have to win.”

Above the crater.

As Raine watched Im's self-sacrificing act, a chilling coldness rose in his eyes.

He had no intention of giving Im any buffer time to detonate the Earth's core.

Raine transformed into a streak of azure lightning, tearing through the boiling steam and white mist, and plummeted straight to the bottom of the pit.

Im looked up, before he could even see what the person was doing. A large hand had already gripped his face tightly.

"You have no right to decide the future of this world in front of me."

Renn's voice boomed from the bottom of the pit.

His five fingers clenched tightly, the hard knuckles digging deep into Im's cheek. Rein used his core strength, lifting Im off the ground.

The intense air friction ignited a blinding flame around the two of them.

High in the air, Renn released his grip on Im's face.

He twisted his waist, stretching his right arm backward to its limit. Jet-black Armament Haki mixed with leaping lightning instantly covered his entire arm.

He threw a punch.

It slammed solidly into Im's chest.

In order to detonate the Earth's core, Im drew out all the demonic energy from his body, and this was when he was at his weakest.

Therefore, what accompanied this punch was not just a terrifying physical impact.

When the first punch landed, Im did not feel the pain of his nerves being torn apart by the Haki.

What flooded Mu's mind was a strong, nauseating fishy smell.

The cold, muddy seawater rushed into Im's nostrils, down his throat, and into his lungs. Instinctively, Im opened his mouth to shout for it to "get away," but what rushed in was the faint cough of a strange child choking on seawater.

What's this……?

"Get out of here... you ants!" Mu roared, instinctively trying to build a mental barrier to drive away these lowly and filthy images.

The second punch landed.

The mental barriers were brutally breached by an even larger torrent.

A red-hot branding iron was pressed against Im's back, which had never bent before. The smell of burning flesh filled his nostrils—the pain endured by countless slaves branded with the "Heavenly Dragon's Hoof" over the centuries, all of which was now transmitted into Im's mind.

What followed was the extreme hunger of a parched throat and a burning stomach, the starvation of civilians who starved to death on the wasteland in their desperate attempt to collect enough gold from the heavens. It was the suffocation of lungs filled with salt water, the despair of watching children being torn apart by gunfire, the numbness of toiling to death in sunless mines…

The third punch landed.

For eight hundred years, all those beings whom he trampled underfoot and regarded as ants, their cries, their resentment, their unwillingness before death, all transformed into billions of poisonous thorns in the same instant, not one falling to the ground, piercing the depths of his soul.

The supreme deities were forced to experience the most extreme suffering in the mortal world.

"Stop—stop it, Mu!!!"

Im let out a piercing and heart-wrenching howl.

His eyes bulged from their sockets and were bloodshot from extreme pain. His hands flailed aimlessly in the air, trying to banish the lingering cries of agony from his mind.

Raine coldly watched Im, who had completely collapsed.

Without saying a word, he clasped his fists together at the highest point, interlacing his fingers.

Transforming into a world-destroying hammer wreathed in dark red lightning, it aimed at Im's distorted face and, with all its might, smashed down from above.

"Thump—!!!"

The air in the stratosphere was smashed into a huge vacuum depression by this heavy blow.

Im's body plummeted downwards at a terrifying speed several times the speed of sound.

He was like a black meteor, crashing straight into the remaining rock face of the red earth continent.

The bedrock was as fragile as tofu in the face of this impact. Im's body crashed down, breaking through the thick crust and the continental shelf, until it slammed into the bottomless, dark seabed rift beneath the red earth.

Huge splashes of water erupted deep within the rift valley.

Renn hovered high in the sky, looking down at the boiling sea and the crumbling red earth below.

With his Observation Haki, he locked onto the underwater rift valley tens of thousands of meters deep.

Although Im at the bottom of the pit had been smashed into a bloody mess, his spirit had also completely collapsed under the impact of the suffering of all living beings.

But in Raine's perception, Im's life force had not weakened much.
