The Power of God! Im and Sengoku!

At the top of Onigashima, on this wide open space, the main officers of the Beasts Pirates, as well as their friends who had come from afar, had all gathered here.

Everyone was waiting for Ian to show them his newly acquired power.

What will Ian's Awakening look like?

Anyone who knows Ian's power can hardly help but have high expectations.

Even the mighty Ian could only Awakening his power under the oppression of the even more powerful Im. Just what kind of extraordinary power does this ability possess?

"Hurry up and show it to us, Ian!"

Yamato shouted almost impatiently.

Okay.

Ian nodded slightly.

Flames rose from his body, and in the blink of an eye, he had completely changed his appearance.

"Oh!!"

Yamato somewhat surprised, "It's completely different now."

Ian's body at that moment seemed to be formed from golden light.

It seemed to have a physical form yet also resembled a flowing liquid, radiating a soft glow, somewhat reminiscent of Shining Ultraman Tiga.

"The Awakening of Zoan is always accompanied by a change in appearance."

Ian spoke calmly.

He unconsciously swung his fist. Even though he had tried it many times on the way back, the increased basic strength after Awakening still captivated him.

With this Awakening state, even if he were to fight Im again, he shouldn't be at a disadvantage anymore.

Of course, this is all on the premise that Im only engages in hand-to-hand combat and does not use his true abilities.

"What a sacred sight!"

The Giant King, a friend from the Giant Kingdom of Giants and of unparalleled size, laughed and said, "You're more like the embodiment of the sun!"

"Then let me be the new Sun God, and let me shine upon this world from now on."

Ian chuckled, "Come on, everyone, lend me your power."

"I don't really care about that."

The Red-Haired stroked his chin and said with a smile, "But Ian, how can I lend you my power?"

Want me to give you a good whack with my stick?

Teacher Kai seemed slightly expectant.

"No, not that kind of borrowing."

Ian smiled and said, "All I need is your agreement."

A golden light shone from his body.

Ability activated!

Everyone was slightly taken aback at this moment.

At that moment, they seemed to hear some sacred and solemn incantation gently resonating in their ears.

They couldn't understand the incantation at all, but they miraculously grasped its meaning.

Offer your strength to God!

That's what the incantation says.

"This is the Sun Spell!"

Ian said.

"I see! How interesting!"

Bullet's lips curled into a smirk. "Take it, Ian! Let me see what you're capable of!"

Aunt Linlin's lips twitched.

Is it an ability similar to my mother's Soul Spell?

Hmph, what's the point of an ability that requires the other party's consent to activate?

However, the situation is beyond our control now, and there's no need to confront Ian. It would be better to observe Ian's abilities closely.

Take it! It's my power!

"Oh!!"

Ian gasped in surprise, and an invisible wave of energy suddenly spread outwards from him.

He did nothing, yet at that moment, it was as if his very existence had created immense pressure on the world, with ripples spreading outwards.

Ian slowly exhaled a breath of white air, as if some terrifying transformation had just occurred within his body. "Power is surging up!"

"Don't worry about whether your power is surging up or not."

Luo gasped softly, staggering backward before collapsing onto the ground, his backside aching. "Is this what they call lending you power?"

"You're too ruthless! I don't even have the strength to stand up anymore!"

As a doctor, he was more surprised than anyone else at that moment.

It's not just weakness from overwork, but rather a complete degeneration of the body.

My muscles have lost their former strength; even lifting my arm feels incredibly sore and swollen, as if I'm doing some extremely difficult exercise.

It's as if, although they still have the physique of adults, their actual strength has regressed to that of infants.

Still full of energy, but the upper limit of energy has been reduced to the extreme!

"Truly, a terrifying ability..."

Hawk Eyes also plopped down on the ground, finding it extremely difficult to even lift his head to look at Ian, though a slightly mocking smile played on his lips.

"But if consent is required, doesn't that mean it's only a tactic that can be used against one's own people?"

Aunt Linlin was even more shocked; she struggled to raise her hand and pinch her arm.

Even though her arm strength was already extremely weak, she still felt a sharp pain in her arm being pinched!

Her indestructible Iron Balloon body has also been weakened to its limit!

What kind of power did Ian mean by lending him?

"There are also methods that don't require consent."

Ian stretched lazily. "All I need to do is make sure you have no power to refuse."

"Oh?"

Luo raised an eyebrow, "No ability to refuse? So you mean you can just knock them out?"

Ian nodded slightly. "That's about right."

This was the final power he Awakening.

The ability to absorb the power of others.

The source of this ability should be the Winged Dragon of Ra of Ra's ability to absorb the attack power of sacrificed monsters in the original anime.

However, there are limitations to activating this ability. As Ian said, to absorb the power of others, you either need their permission or you need to make sure they have no power to refuse.

"So, after absorbing our power, what kind of power do you possess now!"

Even though he had become extremely weak and could no longer support his massive body, almost collapsing to the ground, Teacher Kai's tone still carried a low, passionate intensity.

"My power?"

Ian smiled.

It would be very dangerous to display it here. A slight mistake could destroy the entire Onigashima, and even Wano Country could suffer heavy damage.

Since that's the case.

Ian took a deep breath and then exhaled towards the sky.

Laugh!

A white streak shot into the sky in an instant!

It was just Ian's breath, but at this moment it transformed into an air cannon that pierced through everything, blasting a huge hole in the clouds that stretched out into the sky.

That's about it.

Ian said with a smile.

Everyone was stunned.

Without using any abilities, techniques, or imbuing it with Haki, he simply took a deep breath and exhaled, yet the power he unleashed was probably enough to shatter Onigashima!

Is it really that surprising?

Ian laughed and said, "Now I have the combined power of all of you on me."

The power drawn from others after Awakening is a very abstract concept.

It's not simply about strength, defense, or speed.

To put it simply, it's like Ian now has a Yugi panel, with various abilities listed on it, such as strength, speed, defense, and Haki.

The power he extracts from these people is his points, which he can freely allocate to all abilities on his character panel.

Even abstract abilities like vitality and lifespan can be increased.

In a sense, as long as Ian has enough power reserves, he already possesses immortality and an ageless body.

This is the power that truly belongs to a god.

Ian even felt that this ability could be further improved, but he had only Awakening for a short time and could not yet master it to that extent.

"Since that's the case!"

Law's eyes gleamed with excitement. "What if we concentrated all the power of the Beasts Pirates on you alone? Wouldn't that guarantee victory?"

"Theoretically, that should be the case, right?"

Ian chuckled softly.

"No way!"

But Yamato immediately refused, saying, "I want to fight alongside Ian too!"

"That's right!"

Bullet retorted angrily, "If I can't personally participate in this final war, I might as well be dead!"

Ian shrugged. "You see."

Luo gave a soft snort.

You're forcing yourself to endure hardship, aren't you?

There are clearly simpler ways to win the Yugi, but they insist on choosing the more difficult one.

Is it the same concept to have everyone participate in the war together, and to concentrate all the power on Ian?

If Ian were to gather the power of everyone in the Beasts Pirates, his Admiral exceed everyone's imagination, and it wouldn't be difficult to understand if he surpassed even the so-called Ancient Weapon!

Destroying the entire World Government single-handedly wouldn't be difficult for him. What is that Im has lived from eight hundred years ago compared to him?

Having reached Ian's level, what does it mean to have power increased several times or even dozens of times?

It's questionable whether Lord Im, who ruled the world for eight hundred years, could withstand even one punch from him.

but.

Luo couldn't help but smile.

"It seems we have no reason to fail."

Black Maria said.

Everyone was laughing.

Having already obtained the Ancient Weapon, Vegapunk's research would soon revive, and now that Ian has mastered the same ability, is there any chance of defeat?

Only Aunt Linlin looked a little unwell.

Ian has become even more terrifying; getting revenge on him is now even less likely.

In short,

Ian laughed and said, "If your performance doesn't satisfy me, then don't blame me for doing it myself."

"Hehehehe!"

Teacher Kai laughed loudly, "You little rascal, you're really getting carried away!"

"This should be called,"

Ian chuckled, "Feeling pretty good about yourself?"

Now that my abilities are fully Awakening, how could I possibly lose to that guy Im?

In short,

Ian said, "The moment Dr. Vegapunk finishes manufacturing the energy will be the moment of war."

"You'd better give your power back to us first!"

Luo said irritably, "You can't even stand up."

Ian smiled as he released the extracted power.

Since power can be drawn out, it can naturally be returned as well.

So, is it possible to manipulate the returned power at will?

For example, how about pooling all your resources and giving them to one person?

Or perhaps we could simply use these resources to give them some extra points?

I can't do it now, and I don't know if I'll be able to do it in the future when I've mastered the skills more.

When Ian finished his ability test, somewhere on the Red Line, in New Mary Geoise...

Sengoku followed the Gorosei somewhat nervously down the wide corridor.

Having traveled a long way from the Marine Headquarters, their next destination is to meet the First King, who has lived for eight hundred years.

So what kind of man is he? Is he really trustworthy?

Countless doubts echoed in Sengoku's mind, but his face remained calm.

"Sengoku, Lord Im has chosen to meet with you, but that doesn't mean you can act recklessly in his presence."

Warcury walked in front of Sengoku, personally leading the way, while also warning him, "That lord relinquished his power long ago for the sake of world peace; he is the First King, worthy of everyone's respect."

"Clear."

Sengoku simply nodded blankly, but no one knew what he was really thinking.

Soon, the two arrived at a huge gate.

Warcury straightened his clothes, stepped forward, and knocked on the door. "Im, I've brought Sengoku with me."

After a brief silence, a muffled voice came from behind the door, "Come in."

Warcury then pushed open the heavy door and led Sengoku inside.

Sengoku didn't look up immediately, but instead kept his head down and observed the room out of the corner of his eye.

This was a fairly spacious room, but inside was a lush green lawn, and there was even a large, leafy tree in the middle of the room.

Beneath this large tree, a figure dressed in a black robe sat quietly against the trunk.

"Lord Im!"

Warcury had already knelt on one knee and bowed his head deeply.

"Saint Imu."

Sengoku glanced at Warcury, but ultimately did not kneel down like the man, instead bowing slightly in respect.

Seeing this, Warcury turned around and glared fiercely at Sengoku.

The Sengoku remained silent.

"The Sengoku..."

Im didn't seem to care. "The current Marine Fleet Admiral? Come to think of it, it's been over eight hundred years since we founded our first navy."

"You must be the umpteenth Marine Fleet Admiral by now."

"I've never seen anything like it before, and I actually got to see the founder of the navy in person!"

Sengoku said earnestly, "Saint Imu, the only reason I'm here is to ask you how the government plans to respond to this war with the Beasts Pirates."

Of course, it's impossible for him to come up and ask what happened eight hundred years ago, or what he did during those eight hundred years. Otherwise, Sengoku wouldn't be able to guarantee that he could leave this New Mary Geoise.

Let's handle this officially.

"Even Liam cannot deny the strength of the Beasts Pirates."

Im said, "Even Joy Boy, who nearly destroyed the world back then, might not be as good as Ian now."

"Therefore, the time has come for these weapons, which have been dormant for eight hundred years, to be revived."

"Weapon?"

Sengoku looked up in surprise.

Warcury turned around and sneered, "Of course, it's Ancient Weapon!"

The Sengoku's eyes were wide open.

One chapter is owed...
