Chapter 503: The Dark Aftermath of the Sky City and the Ultimate Purification Journey

So, Luffy and the others began to prepare. Luffy activated his Conqueror Haki to slightly suppress the dark aura around him. Zoro, Sanji and the others raised their Armament Haki and Observation Haki to the extreme, preparing for the final battle.

Nami summoned an ice storm and lightning with the weather stick. Ice represents the cold elemental power, while lightning is a powerful natural positive energy. Usopp took out his special "elemental destruction bullet", which combines multiple opposing elemental powers. Chopper entered a rampage state, and his body exuded a pure life force, which is also a powerful positive energy.

Robin used the power of the Hana-Hana no Mi to set up many arms with positive energy runes around her, while Franky converted all the energy on the ship into positive energy and released it through laser beams and other weapons. Brook used the sound of the soul to play a piece of music full of hope and light, which contained powerful positive energy that could dispel darkness.

When everything was ready, they launched the final attack on the Dark Holy Grail. Various positive energies and the power of opposite elements gathered together to form a brilliant and colorful light, rushing towards the Dark Holy Grail.

The dark magician saw this scene and widened his eyes in horror: "No! This is impossible!" But he could no longer stop it. The light collided with the Dark Holy Grail, causing a huge explosion. The Dark Holy Grail was blown to pieces in the explosion, and the dark magician also suffered a serious backlash, and his body began to dissipate.

"You... won't... succeed..." The dark magician's voice gradually faded, and his dark power dissipated. As the dark magician was eliminated, the dark atmosphere of the sky city gradually faded, and the sky became bright again.

The residents of Sky City cheered and were full of gratitude to Luffy and his friends. Luffy and his friends became heroes of Sky City, and the residents held a grand celebration for them. During the celebration, Luffy and his friends laughed and danced with the residents of Sky City, sharing the joy of victory.

However, behind the celebration, Luffy and others noticed something unusual. Although the sky city has regained its light, there are still some faint dark auras in some places, which seem to be quietly affecting the emotions of the residents.

After investigation, they found that the dark magician had planted dark seeds in various corners of the sky city during the period of being sealed. These seeds still played a role after the death of the dark magician, trying to reawaken the dark power.

Luffy and his team decided to completely eliminate these dark seeds, and with the help of the residents of the Sky City, they began a new operation. Based on the clues of the remaining dark aura, they searched for dark seeds in every corner of the Sky City.

During the search, they encountered some residents who were affected by the dark seeds. These residents were originally kind and friendly, but now they have become irritable and hostile to Luffy and others. Luffy and others can't bear to hurt these residents, so they try to solve the problem in a peaceful way.

They communicated with the residents, comforted them, and used their positive energy to dispel the darkness in their hearts. In the process, they found that music and a joyful atmosphere could effectively alleviate the negative emotions of the residents. So, Brook played cheerful music for the residents with his music, and Usopp performed interesting magic to gradually stabilize the emotions of the residents.

With the cooperation of the residents, they found some dark seeds. These dark seeds looked like black crystals and emitted a faint dark aura. When they tried to destroy these seeds, the seeds suddenly released a dark energy that distorted the surrounding space.

Luffy and his companions were drawn into a dark space, a world full of fear and despair. They saw the scenes that they feared the most in their hearts. Luffy saw his companions falling down one by one in front of him, Zoro saw that he could never become the world's number one swordsman, and Sanji saw that he had lost his ability to cook...

"This is an illusion created by the dark seed, don't be fooled!" Ling Tian shouted. They encouraged each other and gradually got rid of the influence of the illusion with firm belief. Luffy was the first to wake up. He looked at the dark space around him and said, "We must break this space and destroy the dark seed!"

They began to look for the weak point of the dark space. In the process of searching, they found that this space was maintained by the energy of the dark seed. As long as they found the core of the energy, they could break the space. After some exploration, they found that the energy core was hidden in a huge dark vortex.

Luffy and others moved towards the dark vortex, encountering various monsters formed by dark energy along the way. These monsters have different shapes and strong attack power, but Luffy and others are already familiar with the characteristics of dark power, and they cooperate with each other to easily defeat the monsters.

When they arrived in front of the dark vortex, they found that there was a strong suction force in the vortex, trying to suck them in. Luffy used his rubber arms to grab the surrounding objects to prevent himself from being sucked away. Zoro, Sanji and others also used their own skills to stabilize their bodies.

They came up with a way to use everyone's power to form a reverse energy vortex to offset the suction of the dark vortex. With everyone's joint efforts, the reverse vortex was successfully formed, and they gradually approached the center of the dark vortex.

In the center, they found the energy core of the dark seed. This core exudes a strong dark aura, and is protected by a hard dark shield. Luffy and others launched an attack, trying to break the shield.

Luffy used his strongest rubber attack: "Rubber? Great Ape King Spear? Domination!" His attack hit the shield hard, and a crack appeared on the shield. Zoro, Sanji and others also used their strongest moves to continuously attack the shield.

After many attacks, the shield was finally broken. Without hesitation, they launched a final attack on the energy core and destroyed it. With the destruction of the energy core, the dark space began to collapse, and they successfully returned to the sky city.

After returning to the Sky City, they continued to look for other dark seeds. With everyone's joint efforts, they finally found and destroyed all the dark seeds. The Sky City completely restored peace and light, and the residents were grateful to Luffy and others.

When leaving the Sky City, the residents gave them many precious gifts and Sky City specialties. Luffy and his companions left the Sky City on the Thousand Sunny with a lot of harvest and good memories.
