Chapter 283 New Hegemony (Finale)

Although he has lived in this world for more than ten years, Rhodes does not have a strong sense of belonging to this world.

What has happened to this world in the past is not important to him.

Rather than figuring out the grudges of the past, he wants to figure out the future of this world.

"There's one thing you haven't explained clearly."

Robin's eyes flashed with wisdom.

As O'Hara's orphan and the only remaining archaeologist in the world, she knows the most about history.

"Who the hell are you!"

"The name Im is the name of a certain king who founded the World Government eight hundred years ago, and your current face is exactly the same as that of a princess I knew, who was where Queen Lily was eight hundred years ago. Princess of the Kingdom of Alabasta

So, what is your identity? Queen Lily from eight hundred years ago, or Im? "

"navy!"

Without answering Robin's question, Im suddenly turned his head and looked at the marines headed by Sengoku.

"As a navy, are you just going to sit back and watch a pirate openly invade the World Government?"

"Oh, my, it's so scary."

Kizaru raised his hands.

"Spare me, I am no match for this monster."

Kizaru still knew a thing or two about the power of the Five Old Stars.

However, all five of them were now lying on the ground.

Not only that, even the powerful men of the Knights of God were all killed.

Although I don't know how Rhodes did it, whether it was the scene he saw at the Navy Headquarters before or the situation he saw now in Mary Joa, it all shows one thing, that is, what Rhodes is doing now The power they control is far beyond their knowledge.

Even a naval admiral with the highest combat power may not be able to resist at all in front of the opponent.

Garp picked his nose and said nothing.

Lieutenant General He and Warring States remained silent, not knowing what they were thinking, but looking at their complicated eyes, it was obvious that their hearts were not as calm as they appeared on the surface.

"Really, I'm not very cooperative."

Seeing that the opponent was still resisting, Rhodes shook his head helplessly.

The next moment, Rhodes appeared directly in front of Im, a black slash flashed, blood flew out, and the broken arm flew up.

Rhodes grabbed Im's severed arm with anticipation in his eyes.

"Sure enough, it won't work."

In the judgment of "Knights will not die with bare hands", Im's arm cannot be called a weapon, and Rhodes did not master the opponent's fusion domineering as expected.

"asshole!"

It wasn't until his arm fell from the air and was caught by Rhodes that Im finally reacted. A trace of anger flashed across his face, but his body suddenly retreated in an instant.

However, even though he was trying his best to retreat, Im knew clearly in his heart that he had nowhere to escape.

Even the power of the King of Heaven can't do anything to the opponent. This guy's power has completely exceeded the limits of what he can understand.

"Really, since you don't cooperate, then I have to do it by myself."

Rhodes' figure appeared directly beside Im, reaching out and pressing his shoulder, stopping his retreat.

"Do you think it makes sense to control distance in our battle?"

The next moment, the sword flashed and penetrated Im's neck directly, nailing him to the ground.

"Just like this, I can appear by your side at any time as long as I want."

Looking at Im's dead eyes, Rhodes pulled out the autumn water and wiped it on the other's gorgeous clothes.

"So···"

Rhodes turned around and looked at the navy and pirates who were witnesses.

Peng~~

The moment Rhodes turned around, a dense mass of black energy suddenly erupted from Im's body, transforming into the shape of a ferocious demon in mid-air.

While Rhodes had his back turned to him, the ferocious demon shrouded in black energy pounced on him with its fangs and claws.

"Succeeded!!"

At the moment of contact with Rhodes, a sharp sound suddenly erupted from the black air.

"Although I have lost Lily's body and cannot control the power of [Pluto], as long as I can occupy your body and control your power, it doesn't matter even if I lose [Pluto]!"

After the black energy touched Rhodes, it quickly integrated into his body through his skin. However, in an instant, the black energy completely integrated into Rhodes' body, and a ferocious figure emerged behind him. From behind, bursts of wild laughter burst out from his mouth.

"This power is amazing!"

"How humans have strengthened their bodies to such an extent is simply incredible!"

"As long as you have such power, no one can be my opponent! This world will always be under my control!"

The black air was twisting in mid-air, expressing the inner excitement.

Once, he thought that as long as he mastered the two weapons of Heaven and Pluto at the same time, he would be able to control the world permanently.

However, weapons have a service life.

Both Heavenly King and Pluto were seriously damaged in the war that year. Pluto is still unable to use it. Every time Heavenly King uses it, he has to pay a huge price.

Although he holds the highest authority over these two weapons, for so many years, Im has relied more on his own power to rule the world.

However, it will no longer be needed in the future. The body he currently occupies has enough power to completely control the world!

"Rod!"

"It's not good!"

"It's not good..."

Although they didn't know what exactly happened, the scene they saw still made everyone know that something terrible seemed to be happening.

The members of the Rhodes Pirates looked at Rhodes, who was shrouded in black mist, with worries in their eyes.

No matter how you look at it, the look in front of Rhodes is not good.

"You mean, after mastering my power, no one will be your opponent, right?"

Shrouded in black mist, Rhodes' voice suddenly sounded.

"So, when did you get the illusion that you had taken over my body?"

Rhodes' eyes opened, his sharp gaze penetrated the black fog, and a twisted figure was reflected in his eyes.

It was a face that barely maintained a human shape, with a distorted face that looked like it was made up of countless faces gathered together.

"How could it be!"

The black shadow, or Im, made a frightened sound.

The power he controls can easily defeat a person's soul and integrate it into himself, while he takes over the other person's body and acts as that person.

Especially when dealing with people with devil fruit abilities, it is even more disadvantageous.

After all, he and Devil Fruit have the same origin, and he has an innate familiarity with the power contained in Devil Fruit.

However, in front of this Rhodes, he failed one after another.

It wasn't until Rhodes made a sound that he suddenly realized that although he had entered the opponent's body, he had not been able to defeat the opponent's soul, let alone absorb the opponent's soul.

"You won't forget, right? I am a [Soul Fruit Fruit] user. How can your soul be my opponent?"

"Stop talking nonsense, even the soul fruit cannot achieve this!"

In the soul space, Im looked at Rhodes' soul appearing in this world with a horrified expression.

It was a soul that had completely condensed into substance, which was completely different from his mist-like soul.

"Who knows."

Rhodes said casually, and then looked at Im's current state.

"But this is the answer to the question Robin asked before."

Im's expression was ugly, and his mist-like body was undulating violently.

He was one of the first kings to create the Twenty Kingdoms of the World Government, Im-Saint.

Also all the twenty kings who created the world government!

In the original war, the twenty countries led by Im Sanctuary finally won the victory.

They defeated the huge kingdom, expelled those who upheld the will of [D], and established the current world government.

After the World Government was established, in order to express the concept of twenty countries jointly governing the world, they set up a Void Throne, and no one sat on that throne.

However, Im became the master of this throne.

Because he is not alone, he represents all kings!

The unknown technology that was originally born in the huge kingdom not only produced products like Devil Fruit based on human beings' imagination of their own evolution, but also gave birth to a being that can truly be called a devil based on the collected malice of human beings. .

During the war, the demon awakened in the body of Yim Sheng, allowing him to master powerful power, powerful enough to fight against the huge kingdom.

The existence of devils has allowed Im Saint to make great progress in developing his Devil Fruit abilities. With the power of Devil Fruits developed to the extreme, he can do many miraculous things.

After the war, all the royal families of the twenty countries moved into the Holy Land of Mary Joa, because their bloodline factors were the key to activating the King of Heaven.

And Im Saint used the ability of the [Surgery Fruit] that he had mastered to perform the immortality surgery on Queen Lily who controlled [Pluto].

After succeeding, he seized the body of Queen Lily, thereby gaining control of the highest authority of [Pluto].

At this point, these two weapons, King of Heaven and King of Hades, are all in the hands of the World Government, or in the hands of Im.

Im finally became the real master who controls this world.

However, as time passed, [D]’s will awakened little by little.

Not only has the world failed to remain as stable as Im originally expected, but it has become increasingly unstable.

[D] emerged one after another from all over the world, frequently appearing on the world stage.

Every time they appear, they will bring some changes to the world.

And those changes accumulated together, and as they accumulated more and more, they finally set off waves all over the world.

However, Im never thought that the person who turned this wave into a roar that overturned the world was not the [D] he had been worried about, but a completely unrelated Not Rhodes.

"If this is your last resort, then goodbye."

A powerful force burst out from Rhodes' body, and the powerful soul power tore Im's soul into pieces in an instant. Along with a burst of unwilling wailing, it completely turned into black smoke and dissipated.

As Yim dissipated, the five old stars who had been defeated by Rhodes and were all kneeling on the ground suddenly let out a wail. Their bodies aged in an instant, but in the blink of an eye, they turned into skeletons and lost their strength. signs of life.

"It's over."

The Five Elders, who represented the highest power of the World Government, disappeared in an instant, and Im, who held the highest power of the World Government, was wiped out.

The World Government, which once ruled the world and held world hegemony, finally came to an end at this moment.

This also means the establishment of a new hegemony!
