Yes.
On that battlefield, unprecedented in the entire history of the ocean, the fighting and fierce battles never ceased.
But on the execution platform on the other side, Sengoku's eyes were bloodshot with rage.
He looked down at the familiar faces below.
Those naval soldiers who came to uphold justice have now been possessed by the spirits of the ancient coffin.
That inhuman, demonic form, that body that was torn apart and then constantly regenerated.
Sengoku glared angrily at Im behind him: "You broke your promise—you promised not to harm the naval warriors!"
At this moment, Im didn't even turn around.
His face, which incorporated military features, showed no emotion, only indifference.
"When did Mu hurt them?"
He spoke calmly, in a voice as deep and resonant as an echo from the abyss: "Their souls, mercifully preserved, slumber deep within their bodies."
"Their bodies will not die, and even after all enemies who resist Mu have been eliminated, Mu will generously give them some time to take control of their own bodies."
"After Mu's great cause is completed, they can become the embodiment of Mu's loyal servants, which is a great honor."
"Mu has bestowed upon them greater power, allowing them to serve Mu in a more perfect form—this is a blessing, making them more valuable than they were originally."
"A gift? A value?!"
Upon hearing this, the Warring States period was so angry that he trembled all over.
The golden Buddhist light emanating from his body fluctuated violently, accompanied by a chill in his heart.
He now understood the origins of the Celestial Dragons' inhuman behavior.
The guy in front of me...
"What do you take life and justice for?!"
As they spoke, Sengoku looked at Luffy, who had lost consciousness in front of Im, and the "Nika Fruit" that was still being extracted from Luffy's body.
In a matter of moments, Sengoku made his decision.
He knew that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the person in front of him was the ruler of the world that Dragon had mentioned, the god of the abyss.
But the facts proved that this guy was even worse than the Celestial Dragons by countless times.
Because He possesses "power".
Sengoku couldn't imagine what would happen if someone who, under a live broadcast to the whole world and with a promise made, could still use his power to turn the Marines into monsters to fight for him, actually achieved his goal.
"It will be terrible" was the instinctive answer deep in the hearts of those in the Warring States period.
This also made Sengoku realize the biggest mistake he had made in his previous judgment.
The World Government is indeed the deepest and biggest abscess in the world, and more importantly, it has grown to the point where it threatens the very existence of the world.
They are not slow-growing tumors that can be dealt with gradually.
It is a "bomb" that, once activated, will kill everything.
Therefore, the Warring States period had no further hesitation.
He took a sudden step forward, his body expanding and growing larger in an instant.
His body transformed into a dazzling golden Buddha's hand, carrying with it the justice he had upheld throughout his life and the overwhelming rage of this moment, and struck towards Im!
"The Impact of Buddha!"
At this moment, the admiral had clearly made his choice.
but.
Just as the giant golden hand was about to touch Im... a sudden change occurred!
"Buzz!"
Sengoku didn't even see Im's movements.
The next moment, the surging golden Buddhist light emanating from his body suddenly extinguished, like a flame blown by a gale.
His Buddha form also shrank rapidly, transforming into a normal human form in just a moment.
At this moment, Sengoku could feel a weakness emanating from his body—a weakness he had rarely experienced in so many years.
"My abilities...have disappeared?"
The power that had existed within him for decades since he consumed the Buddha Fruit also manifested at this moment.
"Disappeared abruptly"
And this is not an isolated case!
All that could be heard from all corners of the battlefield were cries of terror.
"Captain Marco, your flames!"
Diamond Joz stared wide-eyed at Marco beside him.
At this moment, the signature blue-green regenerative flames on the latter's body, which could heal everything, were completely unable to be ignited.
His wings formed of flames also vanished at that moment, causing him to fall from the sky.
George rushed to catch Marco, and as the "Diamond Man," he subconsciously ignored the gunfire and bullets spewed by the surrounding marines; they were practically nonexistent to him.
But the next moment...
"Bang!"
Blood splattered, and the pain made Joz instinctively groan. Then he was horrified to discover that his body had been pierced by a bullet.
His abilities have also disappeared—his once indestructible diamond body has now reverted to that of a normal human.
And not just them.
Ace suddenly realized that he could no longer activate even a single flame. If it weren't for Yamato, who had also broken free of the "Great Mouth True God Form," coming to his rescue in time, he might have been instantly killed by Aokiji.
At this moment, even Whitebeard frowned deeply—his Tremor-Tremor Fruit ability, which was powerful enough to cause tsunamis and earthquakes, was now as if it had sunk without a trace.
Yes.
If one were to take a broader view of the battlefield at this point, one would discover...
The abilities of the twelve constellation users seemed to vanish all at that moment!
The only exception is "Loki," a special "Nidhogg" fruit that has broken free from its constraints.
His abilities still remained, but even he gritted his teeth, feeling the weakness growing within him—his abilities, though not gone, were severely weakened by the intense power of the abyss.
"That guy."
Loki gritted his teeth and looked at Im on the execution platform.
Meanwhile, Im was still standing on the execution platform.
But his demeanor changed once again.
The once handsome young man with horns, resembling a demon, now seemed strangely grotesque. His body appeared to have transformed into a ball of black flame, with only his form vaguely visible within the flames.
It was as if the pool was beginning to transform back into its true form—that formless and intangible abyss existing in the world's reflection.
"His constraints have been broken through yet another layer."
Loki vaguely understood this.
And that is indeed the case.
"A long-lost power."
At that moment, Im slowly raised his hand, as if sensing the power of recovery.
"Although not fully recovered, I have already regained about 60-70% of my 'freedom'."
His indifferent gaze swept across the battlefield, which was now in a state of brief chaos and terror due to the failure of his abilities.
Ultimately, it fell upon the Warring States period before them.
"The ignorant."
Im's voice carried an icy, all-encompassing coldness: "Before Im, no one who harbors rebellious thoughts can use the 'wishes' bestowed upon me—the 'world' is Im's private property, and you should all accept Im's rule."
As he spoke, it seemed as if clusters of wishes were constantly gathering in his palm, which he then swallowed.
Wish - Buddha, Wish - Tremor, Wish - Phoenix, Wish - Diamond - These are clearly the wish abilities of the powerful beings under the command of the Twelve Constellations.
Meanwhile...
"Buzz!"
Im twitched his finger.
Blood gushed out from Zhan Guo's body instantly.
His body went limp instantly. His remaining breath indicated that he was not dead, but he had clearly lost the ability to fight.
Meanwhile...
Im's finger twitched again.
The blood that flew out of the Warring States period's body changed and shaped in an instant, rapidly expanding from a drop of blood to a size almost like a human.
A moment later, a total of eighteen figures formed around Im.
They wore the iconic attire of the Celestial Dragons, but it was clearly much older.
Each of them possessed a powerful aura, and each wore a crown engraved with the crests of their respective family lineages.
Their identities and appearances are not a secret to the world.
They were none other than...
[The Creator - The Initial Twenty Kings]
The creators of the world, the remaining eighteen of the twenty kings who betrayed Davy Jones.
