The End of the Show! My New World!

Huge explosions continued to rumble.

Saturn and Mars practically self-destructed in their attempt to stop Ian's advance.

The powerful poison and fireballs kept exploding, forcing Ian to remain in a flame-like state the entire time.

At this moment, Warcury unleashed another Haki Shockwave, making it impossible for Ian to pursue him.

He could only watch helplessly as the enormous black dragon spread its wings and soared into the sky.

"So it really is Mythical Zoan."

As they were being bombed, Ian sighed in disbelief.

It's over.

Although it's currently the version from the game "Mythical Beasts," it feels cheap if it's too common.

but.

Black Dragon.

I feel like there's a lot of meaning behind it.

Surely there isn't some tree in Mary Geoise waiting for him to go back and gnaw on its roots.

oh.

There really was a tree in Mary Geoise.

"You bastard!!"

The sudden departure of Gellinger and his companions from the battlefield naturally enraged Ian's friends.

Teacher Kai roared, instinctively grabbing Yan Yunfei and flying up to give chase.

However, his flight speed was indeed just so-so, and he couldn't catch up with a black dragon that was actually soaring with outstretched wings.

Transforming into his beastman form would allow him to travel quickly on clouds, but if he were alone, there would be no point in chasing him.

"Let's leave it at that."

Ian smiled and said, "Gorosei, would you like to have a chat?"

"What?"

The Gorosei, who were desperately trying to stop him, were somewhat surprised to see that he had no intention of giving chase.

Saturn immediately retorted angrily, "What is there left for us to talk about?"

"Don't say that,"

Ian laughed and said, "Now that things have come to this, in the final battle for supremacy, the only ones who can win besides your World Government are our Beasts Pirates, right?"

"Don't be so arrogant, Ian!!"

Pistol's voice seemed to carry an unspeakable hatred, "A war for hegemony? No one in the world is qualified to wage such a war against us!"

"Yeah?"

Ian smiled and took a step forward, while the Gorosei instinctively stepped back.

"So who are you afraid of now?"

The Gorosei' faces immediately stiffened.

"Blustering will only further demonstrate your incompetence."

Ian said, "Admit it, you are powerless before my power."

"... Kid!!"

Warcury's teeth were grinding together.

"Alright, I'll just ask directly."

Ian asked, "What's the deal with your immortality? Is it the effect of the Immortal Surgery from the Op-Op Fruit?"

Do you think we'd even answer that for you?

Nusjuro sneered, "If you're interested, go try it yourself."

"I see."

Ian nodded slightly, not expecting these guys to tell him those secrets directly.

"Ian-- "

At that moment, Mars suddenly spoke up.

"Oh?"

Ian raised an eyebrow. "Does this Gorosei have any further advice?"

Mars hesitated for a moment, then said, "If we allow you to go to Mary Geoise and become the head of the twentieth Celestial Dragons family, would you be willing?"

"Ha, this is an invitation I never even considered."

Ian couldn't help but laugh.

Who would have thought that the Gorosei would invite him to Mary Geoise to become a new Celestial Dragons?

"And your answer?"

"Mars asked eagerly."

This monster is ridiculously strong, and its abilities make it virtually impossible to kill.

Even if he were alone, such a guy would be the government's most formidable enemy!

It's better to turn an enemy into a friend than to be his enemy.

Rather, if Ian were willing to become Celestial Dragons, then all the destruction he has caused over the years would be insignificant.

"Hehehehe! Celestial Dragons!"

Unable to catch the enemy, Teacher Kai strolled over, carrying a spiked club and laughing heartily. "Not bad at all, Ian, what do you think?"

Isn't this funny?

Ian laughed heartily, "Then let me be the King of the Celestial Dragons!"

"Ian! What nonsense are you spouting!"

Warcury roared in fury, "Letting you become Celestial Dragons is already an extraordinary favor! Stop daydreaming about anything else!"

There has only been one Celestial Dragons King, and there has only been one since eight hundred years ago!

"Becoming the Celestial Dragons King is out of the question, but making you one of the highest-ranking people in the world, on par with us, is not impossible!"

Mars said seriously.

"That sounds really appealing."

Ian chuckled, then looked up. "But I refuse."

"Ian!!"

Mars roared, "Think carefully! If you refuse now, there will be no possibility of reconciliation!"

"My favorite thing is saying NO to arrogant people, and also,"

Ian swung his sword backhand and cleaved the form of Mars, which was Itz-Manto, in two.

Amidst the angry glares of the Gorosei, he laughed loudly and said, "No one in this world is allowed to stand in a higher position than me; I wouldn't feel at ease if I did!"

"This guy..."

Hawk Eyes, who was watching the show from the sidelines, was somewhat taken aback.

This was the first time he had seen Ian so openly proclaim his ambitions.

But now it seems that's indeed the case. Even the Gorosei are trampled under his feet. Who in this world is qualified to stand above him?

"Ian!!"

Beside her, Hancock was swooning, wishing she could pounce on Ian immediately.

"Ha ha!"

Yamato laughed heartily.

She was the first to know, the first to know what Ian wanted to do.

"Madman!!"

Nusjuro gritted his teeth.

That means there's nothing left to discuss.

There is only one person in this world who is qualified to stand at the very top, and that is the great Lord Im!

"Why waste words with them?"

Bullet, brimming with murderous intent, was furious that his fight with Garp had ended inconclusively. "Kill them!"

"That might be a bit difficult."

Ian laughed and said, "They're immortal; they can't be killed at all."

"That's enough for today, Ian!"

Warcury stared intently at Ian. "But it won't end here. You can't be arrogant for long!"

"Don't rush,"

Ian waved to them, signaling them not to leave yet, "There's something important I haven't mentioned yet."

"From now on, the New World belongs to me. Tell all your people to get lost."

"Otherwise, when I have time, I'll take a few Dyna Stone and make a trip to Marine Headquarters or Mary Geoise. What do you guys think?"

"Ian!!"

The Gorosei were furious.

But they simply couldn't do anything about Ian.

"No need to rush,"

Ian said, "The final battle will come sooner or later."

"When I feel I have enough power to completely annihilate you, I will ignite a war that will decide the fate of the entire world!"

"Certainly,"

He shrugged. "If you think you have enough power to destroy me, then you can start the war."

The Gorosei looked at Ian and fell silent.

Then.

"Then you just wait, Ian!"

Warcury uttered harsh words.

Then, in the next second, the Wild Boar, Horse Bone, sandworm, Itz-Manto all vanished in the sudden smoke.

"What?"

Bullet was taken aback.

He had no idea that these guys had been summoned, so he had a hard time understanding how they had disappeared.

That's why I said it,"

Ian smiled. "They can't be killed."

Bullet pointed at Saturn, who stood alone in the room, and said, "Isn't this guy still here?"

Then, in the next second, Saturn also disappeared.

It seems that all five of them possess the ability to summon.

Ian gave a slight smirk.

This is very unreasonable.

Who can take down the Gorosei?

Unless they all put Seastone shackles on all five of them at the same time, but that would be too difficult.

Is that all?

Mihawk sighed with great regret.

"Isn't this great?"

Ian glanced at him with a smile, "Your opponent just now wasn't even giving it his all when he fought you."

"If he were really serious, you'd be dead by now."

My good friend's strength hasn't reached its peak yet; his current level is about the same as Akainu's.

Gellinger's strength is definitely at the level of Pirate Emperor. Even without using his abilities, he overwhelmed Mihawk. If he really went all out, he would be a mature man if he didn't slice Mihawk into sashimi.

"To die at the hands of such a powerful swordsman is not so bad."

Surprisingly, Mihawk didn't seem to care much about it.

"In that case, come over here, Mihawk,"

Ian, not wanting to miss any opportunity to increase his power, smiled and once again extended an invitation to his good friend, "That way, we'll have another chance to fight that guy in the future."

"Let's skip it."

Hawk Eyes rolled his eyes and refused without hesitation, "Like you said, I don't want anyone standing over me and telling me what to do."

"But."

He added, "If you're going to fight that guy, call me along."

"Alright."

Ian nodded slightly.

It's alright.

Although Mihawk hasn't officially joined the team, he will at least help us in the future battle against the government, and that's enough.

"Oh, right,"

Mihawk seemed to remember something and asked again, "You've driven all the monsters out of the New World, so can I stay here?"

He is no longer Shichibukai and has openly declared himself an enemy of the World Government.

The government probably also thinks he's a Beasts Pirates. If he were to wander into other seas under these circumstances, it would be quite troublesome.

"Sure."

Ian naturally wouldn't refuse.

A lone wolf like Mihawk wouldn't have much impact on his dominance even if he stayed in the New World.

Not to mention, they all hook up with mynah birds!

"Let's go, Mihawk, let's go back to Wano Country and have some fun!"

The bear had already landed in the sky; having watched the entire battle, he knew it was over.

It's time to head back to the city.

At the same moment, in Mary Geoise, in Pangu City.

The Flower Chamber the deepest part of this enormous building.

The Gorosei knelt tremblingly before the true King of the World.

Sweat soaked their suits, and the muscles in their faces twitched slightly from tension.

"I'm sorry, Lord Im,"

"Ian's strength far exceeds our expectations," Warcury said nervously.

"I'm afraid only you have the ability to defeat him."

In the center of the room, beneath a large, leafy tree, a dark figure that had been resting quietly slowly raised its head.

His face was completely hidden by the dark hood, but the Gorosei pressed their foreheads firmly to the ground with even greater respect.

"Someone like Joy Boy?"

The Celestial Dragons King said.

"Perhaps even more troublesome Joy Boy."

Mars said, "His abilities are terrifyingly powerful; all attacks are ineffective against him, while his attacks possess the unique ability to destroy everything."

"Even if--"

He suddenly hesitated, and after much deliberation, finally mustered his courage, "Even you might not be able to kill him..."

Is that so?

Im asked in a flat tone, "So, what do you think should be done?"

"Lord Im!"

The five old men pressed their scalps even closer to the ground. "To completely defeat that guy, we might have to rely on Ancient Weapon!"

"Vegapunk is already in the process of emergency relocation. As long as he develops an energy source capable of powering that thing, then everything will be over!"

"No matter how bizarre his abilities are, they are meaningless against Ancient Weapon capable of destroying everything."

The dark figure nodded slightly.

"At the same time, we must also seize the time to bolster the government's resources!"

Nusjuro said, "The government has lost too much strength during this period!"

Kake was killed, and Zephyr, Kuzan, and Gion betrayed him.

This operation resulted in particularly heavy losses.

The initial explosion of the Dyna Stone instantly killed the officers of the Knights of God and CP0, including the CP0's supreme commander, the government's commander-in-chief, and a deputy commander of the Knights of God.

The forces lost alone are enough to rebuild a Marine Headquarters.

Not to mention the Shichibukai, who have now been completely wiped out, with the only survivor, Hawk Eyes, being a traitor.

The World Government is now extremely depleted of power.

"Lord Im, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures!"

Saturn said, "We want to conduct a massive recruitment drive around the world! We want to gather all the available people!"

"..."

The King of the World paused for a moment.

"Mhm agreed."

While the Gorosei were finishing their work report, Ian was on his way back to Wano Country.

Ian was enveloped in a fleshy, bubble-like object, and flew rapidly through the sky.

Yamato and Hancock were also in the bubble, each holding one of Ian's arms, glaring at each other from where Ian couldn't see.

Things should calm down for a while now.

Ian thought.

The next two problems to be solved are Pluton's energy source and the Awakening of one's own abilities.

Only by mastering Ancient Weapon and truly reaching the pinnacle of power can one have a greater chance of completely defeating the World Government.

As he pondered this, Ian looked down at the azure sea.

He said, "It's so beautiful."

"Beautiful?"

Yamato grabbed his arm and craned his neck to look down, but all he could see was blue.

"New World?"

"No,"

Ian laughed and said, "It's my New World."
