Chapter 1884 Infinite Tsukuyomi - Activated! The Shadow King Im, who wields supreme authority

"Uh!"

Garp's body trembled slightly!
The next moment, an astonishing change occurred!

The wounds on Garp's body caused by the fierce battle just now—deep fist marks that revealed bone, cracked tiger's mouth, and even other injuries—were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

New granulation tissue grew, the wound healed, and not a single scar was left!

Not only that!

That warm energy seemed to possess a spirit, permeating into Garp's limbs, bones, and internal organs.

The countless hidden injuries and old ailments accumulated over decades of fighting, which he himself had grown accustomed to, began to slowly repair and disappear under the nourishment of this vibrant energy.

An indescribable ease and vitality, like rain after a long drought, welled up from the depths of his body; his fatigue vanished, and his exhausted domineering aura seemed to regain a bit of vitality.

In just a few breaths, Garp not only recovered from his injuries, but was also in even better condition than before the battle.

It was as if time had reversed for him!

Garp looked down in disbelief at his hands, which were now perfectly intact and even felt more powerful than before, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

Is this ability to instantly heal serious injuries and even hidden ailments also a power of Ace's Devil Fruit?

What kind of Devil Fruit did he eat?!

Ace slowly withdrew his hand, and the emerald light in his palm quietly disappeared.

He looked at Karp and said in a serious tone:

"Grandpa, believe me."

"I am walking a path that has never been seen before, a path leading to true peace and redemption."

His tone was not impassioned, but carried an indescribable certainty and weight, as if every word carried a tremendous weight.

The absolute confidence hidden beneath that calm left Garp speechless, even though he had wanted to say something more.
Looking into Ace's eyes, for the first time, a sense of uncertainty and wavering arose in my heart.

Is this kid really convinced that what he's doing is right because he saw that future?

A brief silence fell over the scene, and it was at this moment that...

"It seems Mr. Garp has gone easy on you."

A slightly languid voice came from the side.

Aokiji had already walked over across the ice without anyone noticing. He pushed up the eye patch on his forehead, his gaze sweeping over Garp, who was in excellent condition and even better than before, and then looking at Ace, who had a calm expression. His eyes behind his sunglasses flickered slightly.

He clearly misunderstood the reason why Garp stopped fighting and regained his form, thinking it was because Garp was showing consideration for his grandfather and grandson.

"After all, he is your grandson."

"However, a mission is a mission; the 'path' he just mentioned, and the 'power' he has demonstrated, have gone beyond what can be left unattended."

Aokiji's tone carried a hint of understanding in his sigh, but it quickly turned cold and resolute.

He took a step forward, and a cold white mist began to emanate from his body. The ice beneath his feet was covered with a thick layer of solid ice at a visible speed.

"Leave the rest to me, Mr. Garp."

"Some fundamental issues must be clarified."

At this moment, Aokiji displayed the imposing presence befitting a Marine Admiral.

His right arm also turned into crystalline ice crystals as he spoke, and extremely cold freezing air began to gather wildly; he prepared to take action himself, subdue Ace, and bring him back to headquarters for interrogation!
However, just as Aokiji was about to launch his attack...

Ace didn't even turn his head to look at him, only glancing at him out of the corner of his eye.

The nine tomoe in his Rinne Sharingan between his eyebrows rotated slightly for a moment.

"Om."

The terrifying mental power transcended spatial distance, striking Aokiji directly.

"!?"

Aokiji froze instantly, the gathered freezing air dissipated in an instant, his pupils dilated abruptly, and then he lost all his luster.

His tall body fell straight backward like a puppet with its strings cut!

"Pfft!"

Aokiji crashed heavily onto the cold ice, his eyes closed and his breathing steady, but he had fallen into the deepest coma!
One of the navy's top combatants was stripped of his consciousness in an instant by a single glance.

"What?! Kuzan!!!"

Garp's shock reached its peak in an instant, even surpassing the level he had felt when he was healed.

He abruptly turned his head to look at Aokiji lying on the ground, then suddenly turned to stare at Ace, whose expression had not changed at all, his face filled with horror and disbelief!
How can it be? !
Just one glance?!

There aren't even any moves!

Kuzan is a Marine Admiral!!!
Garp was well aware of Aokiji's strength; even when caught off guard, it would be almost impossible to subdue him so easily.

Aokiji was clearly prepared for battle, but even so, he was still instantly killed by Ace with a single glance.

Just how powerful was Ace?!
Did Ace not use his full strength in the fight just now?
Although he had already noticed this during the battle, he originally thought that Ace had just been careless and had used at least seven or eight tenths of his strength.

But now.
One glance! Just one glance!
Aokiji's strength is not necessarily much weaker than his current strength.

When Ace was fighting him just now, he probably didn't even use five-tenths of his strength.

"Don't worry, old man, he's just taking a nap."

Ace's calm voice interrupted Garp's chaotic thoughts.

His tone was extremely calm, as if he had simply done something perfectly normal, rather than instantly subduing one of the navy's top combatants.

"I originally wanted to wait a little longer."

"But never mind, I've already asked Mr. Uchiha Madara for the specific orders."

"Now, old man, just watch me with your own eyes."

"Looking at the new world I am about to create."

Ace looked up at the sky and said in a deep voice.

"what?!"

Garp's heart skipped a beat, and he looked up sharply at Ace, a sense of foreboding washing over him.

The next moment, he witnessed a scene he would never forget!
Ace's Rinne Sharingan suddenly opened, its eerie purple light illuminating the entire icy plain like a supernova explosion.

Within his pupils, the nine tomoe spun at their maximum speed, as if transforming into nine black holes that devoured everything!

"boom!!!"

An indescribable, terrifying power of vision spread from Ace to the entire planet.

The world has changed!

The once clear sky was swallowed up by endless darkness in a fraction of a second.

The sun's light was obscured, and the stars paled in comparison!
The entire planet was plunged into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, an enormous moon, radiating an eerie blood-red light, appeared out of thin air and hung in the center of the dark sky.

What's even more chilling is that, at the center of that blood-red moon, nine jet-black tomoe, writhing like living beings, slowly and clearly emerged!

Infinite Tsukuyomi - Activated!

this moment.

No matter where you are in the world.

Commoners from Windmill Village in the East Blue, powerful figures from the Grand Line, pirates from the New World, soldiers from Marine Headquarters, Celestial Dragons from Mary Geoise, laborers from the Red Line, and Sea Kings from the Calm Belt.
Everyone who looked up and saw the blood moon.

Regardless of strength, race, gender, or age, their pupils lost all their luster at the same instant, transforming into the Rinne Sharingan with nine tomoe, emitting a faint red glow, just like the moon in the sky!
They stood frozen in place, as if a pause button had been pressed, heads tilted back, faces expressionless, as if they had become lifelike yet lifeless sculptures.

The whole world fell into a deathly stillness!

"Uh!"

Even someone as powerful as Garp felt as if his soul was being gripped tightly by a cold, giant hand the moment he saw the blood moon.

An irresistible, powerful, and despair-inducing hypnotic force surged into his consciousness like a tidal wave; he groaned, and the ice beneath his feet shattered with a deafening roar!
He gritted his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his entire body burning with domineering aura, relying on his tempered willpower to resist the all-pervasive erosion with great difficulty!

But he could feel his consciousness gradually becoming blurred and his body becoming stiff.

Ace sighed as he watched Garp struggle against the power of the Infinite Tsukuyomi with an iron will, a struggle that was both futile and deeply moving.

His original plan was to let Garp personally "experience" the state after his cognition was modified by the Infinite Tsukuyomi, so that he could intuitively feel the "beauty" of "no conflict, no pain, only absolute order and peace", and perhaps then he could understand his "good intentions".

but.

"Forcing him to 'experience' it, given the old man's personality, would probably only be seen as a deeper form of 'insult' and 'manipulation'."

“Not only will it fail to make him understand, it will also deepen the misunderstanding and make him more convinced that I am ‘suppressing humanity’.”

"That's all."

Ace sighed softly to himself.

He raised his hand and casually waved it lightly in Garp's direction.

A gentle wave swept over Garp's body.

The next instant, the power that had been affecting his mind receded like a tide, as if it had never existed.

"Ok?"

Garp was struggling against the overwhelming pressure when he suddenly lost his target, and all his strength seemed to have been thrown into empty air.

He was breathing heavily, sweat streaming down his forehead like a stream, his eyes filled with a dazed look of relief and disbelief!

what happened? !
How could that terrifying mental erosion have suddenly disappeared?!

Is that Ace?

Did he voluntarily withdraw his forces?

why? !

"I wanted the old man to experience it for himself."

"But after thinking about it, I decided against it."

“Some ‘knowledge’ can backfire if forcibly instilled.”

Ace seemed to have seen through Garp's thoughts and explained to him.

Upon hearing Ace's words, Garp subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, his tense nerves easing slightly.

Ace withdrew his power voluntarily, and his words seemed to carry a hint of "restraint," which made him feel that things had not yet reached the worst possible outcome.

But as he took a deep breath, preparing to say something more...

But then Ace continued speaking:
"However, my plan still needs some time to be fully stable."

"To prevent you from doing anything 'irrational' and interrupting my plans before I finish everything."

"So, please take a good rest first."

Ace slightly raised his hand, and the nine tomoe in his Rinne Sharingan between his eyebrows began to rotate once more.

"Wait! Ace! You..."

Garp roared, trying to unleash his last bit of Haki as he charged forward.

But it was too late.

An irresistible power of vision gently enveloped Garp.

Garp's sprint suddenly froze. The anger and horror on his face instantly solidified, and the light in his eyes quickly dissipated like the receding tide, leaving them empty and confused.

For some reason, Garp's tense expression involuntarily relaxed after seeing something.

A satisfied smile, tinged with tears, involuntarily crept onto his lips.

His tall body slowly and softly fell forward, sinking into the deepest, most profound, and unwilling-to-awaken slumber.

The sound of snoring also began at this moment.

Ace quietly looked at Garp, who lay on the ground like a sleeping baby, then raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless space, looking towards the Red Line and towards the supreme holy land of Mary Geoise.

"Im, what are you going to do now?"

Throughout the entire world, except for a very few people whose aura is extremely weak or who are in a completely enclosed environment and do not look directly at the moon due to special reasons, almost all living beings are having their consciousness, memories, and cognitions gently and irresistibly modified and covered by the power of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Before long, a "new world" designed according to Ace's will will be fully formed.

But there was one place that exuded a completely different aura, like the only dark flame burning in the night!
Deep within the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, amidst the flowers, before the Void Throne!
There, a power not only completely resisted the erosion of Infinite Tsukuyomi, but also exuded an ancient, profound, cold power that seemed to be integrated with the entire world.

Im!

He was very curious: faced with this upheaval that overturned the entire world, and the desperate situation of instantly losing all his "pieces," how would this shadow king, who had been hiding behind the world government for eight hundred years and wielding supreme power, react at this moment?
Was it rage? Was it horror? Was it an attempt to retaliate?
"The order you have maintained for eight hundred years is now as fragile as a candle in the wind."

"Your loyal subordinates have also become my subordinates at this moment."

"The power you once held has vanished into thin air."

"Then, Im."

"Are you prepared to cower like a turtle, continuing to hide on your cold throne and await final judgment?"

"Or will you reveal your true trump card to settle this once and for all?"

Ace was not in a hurry to go find Im.

It's not him who's in a hurry now, it's Im who should be.

He also wanted to see what kind of methods this "Lord Im" still had hidden after losing all his overt power.
