Luffy's Fate

As soon as he finished speaking, Roy disappeared and reappeared in front of Imu, slashing down with unstoppable Sword Intent.

"So fast!" Imu's pupils contracted violently. His body didn't even have time to react before he was shredded into mincemeat by the powerful Sword Intent. The next moment, he was reborn in a soul state, instantly Rewind to the state before his death, his face still showing shock.

That was too fast! He was killed in less than 0.1 seconds. Keep in mind that he only has three resurrection abilities that he can use. If he is killed four times in a row and there is no time to Rewind, he will be truly dead.

Just as Imu was in a daze, Roy reappeared from the shadows, his sword flashing as he entered soul form. The Soul Fire on his blade surged, annihilating Imu's soul.

The next moment, a skeleton was born from the soul fragments, and the rapidly activated time Rewind ability was restored to its optimal state.

Seeing this, Roy frowned slightly. Although he didn't know how many resurrection abilities Imu could use, judging from the current situation, there were probably no fewer than three types.

No wonder Imu was so confident before. With resurrection and time travel, he was almost unbeatable. Even if someone was stronger than him, if the difference in strength wasn't significant, they would most likely be worn down and killed by him in the end.

If Roy only felt annoyed, then Imu felt a deep fear; this was the first time in eight hundred years that he had felt death so close to him.

In less than a second, even the second state was unleashed. If Nightmare were to become accustomed to the surge in power, the third state, or even final death, might not be far off.

Now, let alone five minutes, even one minute is a huge challenge for him. He must find a way to escape this cage temporarily!

Imu's brain was racing, trying to figure out how to survive, while his body was constantly repeating the process of dying, dying, and being reborn.

In just three seconds, Imu died no less than a hundred times, experiencing almost every way in the world to die. This tragic experience is enough to make anyone who hears it feel heartbroken and bring tears to their eyes.

"Wait, what's that...?"

Suddenly sensing a fleeting presence in the space below, Imu's eyes gleamed, and he moved there without hesitation.

In just three seconds, everyone witnessed the transformation from a close contest to Nightmare's one-sided domination. The amount of information involved was so overwhelming that no one had time to react.

"This... this level of power is only one-tenth of Nightmare's strength. No wonder even Lord Imu was no match for him!" The Five Elders felt cold sweat soaking their entire bodies. That monster was hiding too well.

"If Lord Imu also loses, what should the Navy do?" Momousagi was confused. Even if the Navy put up a last stand and fought to the last man, they probably wouldn't be able to hurt Nightmare in the slightest. But she couldn't bring herself to bow down to a pirate, especially since that pirate's hands were stained with the Navy's blood.

"The revolution... has failed!" Long's expression was resolute, with little bitterness or disappointment in his heart, only a trace of unwillingness.

"Leader..." Sabo was also feeling bad, but he knew even more that with the strength Nightmare had shown, it would be no difficult task to wipe out the Revolutionary Army.

"Wait... that guy named Imu ran down there. Damn it, are they planning to move the battlefield underground?!" Ace suddenly said in a mix of shock and anger.

"Underground... Oh no, Luffy and the rest are there!"

"As expected, you are clearly Shanks, why did you deny it?" After Luffy all sorts of hardships, Luffy finally shattered the mask of the man in black. Upon seeing that familiar face, he was half happy and half puzzled.

"I... Ah!" Shanks frowned, about to deny it, when suddenly he clutched his head and knelt on the ground, howling in pain.

"Shanks, what's wrong?" Luffy rushed forward and asked.

"Who I am?"

"I am Dark? The Zero Blade of the Assassination Squad, Dark?"

Shanks roared angrily, "No, that's not right... I am the captain of the Red Hair Pirates, Red-Haired Shanks!"

"Great! Shanks, you're finally back to normal!" Luffy was overjoyed, almost forgetting what kind of dangerous place they were in.

"Watch out!" Shanks, who had just recovered, hadn't even had time to sort out his thoughts when he almost "instinctively" pushed Luffy aside to shield him from the boulder coming from behind.

That boulder had narrowly escaped from the battlefield between two demigods. The shockwave accelerated it to an unimaginable degree. Even with Red Hair's physique, the sudden change caused his chest to cave in completely, blood gushing from his mouth, and he was on the verge of death.

Luffy was stunned, completely unexpected that this would be the outcome. Why did all his efforts result in such a way?

Of course, if he knew what a man named Roy was thinking at this moment, he would know that this kind of plot was the legendary "plot kill" that was forcibly pushed forward!

Warm blood splattered, Luffy felt a crimson blur before his eyes. A violent and murderous aura surged within him, and all his suppressed emotions and pain erupted at once.

If anyone were present, they could even see endless black mist rising behind Luffy, then quickly surging into his body, carrying out an ominous and shadowy transformation, his eyes gradually being filled with darkness, and he had completely turned to the dark side!

"Slaughter... destruction..." Luffy murmured, letting out a chilling laugh, "Nightmare, I will definitely..."

The bloodthirsty and tyrannical voice abruptly ceased, replaced by Imu's triumphant laughter. "Hahahaha, I never thought the legend was true. When the world faces the danger of destruction, it will catalyze the birth of the World Child."

"This surging World Will, this ever-flowing power, is enough to bridge the gap between me and Nightmare!"

"Imu, you seem quite happy!" Roy landed on the ground right behind him, squinting as he looked ahead.

In his extreme ecstasy, Imu failed to notice Roy's waning aura and instead sneered, "Nightmare, your strength is indeed beyond my imagination. It's just a pity that your knowledge and foundation are still too shallow, to the point that you don't even know what kind of opportunity you've missed!"

"My race comes from the distant stars. We were once a transcendent force that conquered countless powerful planets, but we suffered a crushing defeat when attacking a native planet, almost burying all the power of our entire race."

"In order to protect ourselves, our race had no choice but to leave our homeland and even become disgusting Space Pirates. Ironically, we still could not escape the punishment of fate and were defeated by a tiny civilization that had just stepped out of the planet."

"Bearing the hopes of my entire tribe, I came to this world in my most desperate moment. It was in this strange world with extraordinary abilities just like the native planet I once lived in that I saw hope for revenge."

"Have you finished your long-winded nonsense?" Roy said impatiently.

"Heh, are you eager to taste the bitterness of death? The purpose of all this is to tell you that the 'god' who destroyed my race on that native planet was a chosen one of destiny, catalyzed by Gaia Will!"

"And the little devil I just sealed inside me is the World Child. Now, I possess power truly akin to that of a god!"
