In the depths of the universe!
The One Piece planet, once blue like water, had turned pure white.
Only the area around the Great Land remained water-blue. Everywhere else had frozen over, blanketed in snow-white ice.
However, ever since Luffy had placed the sun atop the Devil Fruit Tree, the temperature across the planet had begun to rise.
If this continued, the temperature would start returning to normal in less than a month.
The seas would thaw, and people would once again be able to survive in these places.

Boom!
Boom!
Massive spheres of energy exploded one after another above the Great Land.
The trails of Imu and Luffy's battle stretched across the entire Great Land.
The shockwaves from their battle had ravaged the Great Land, leaving behind enormous craters everywhere.
From high altitude, the dust raised by the battle shrouded the entire Great Land. Only the Devil Fruit Tree remained clearly visible.

Imu's state of mind shifted from anger and greed
