A Renewed Clash! World-Ending Destruction! Assault on the Sky King!

A powerful Haki Shockwave came crashing down, like an unstoppable raging hurricane, threatening to tear everything in the sky apart.

"Is that Haki?"

Seeing this, Ryokugyu inside the Sky King couldn't help but shout loudly.

Is this truly Haki that a human could wield?

It was clearly an outward-emitting, Haki Shockwave, but it had a jet-black color and seemed to have solidified into a physical form!

This is less of Shockwave and more of a beam cannon!

Is this the true value of the highest level of World Government, having survived for eight hundred years?

Its Haki is so strong that it seems inhuman!

"If that's the case!"

A hint of anticipation crept into Sengoku's eyes.

The battle that took place in the New World back then almost left him with a psychological trauma regarding Ian's strength.

He could kill top experts of similar strength with the slightest movement; such power was unheard of in the Sengoku.

Has a powerful figure surpassing Ian finally appeared?

but.

"Ha."

Ian smiled gently.

He was anxious, he was really anxious.

It seems I've hit a nerve with him.

That's even funnier.

With his smile undiminished, Ian flicked his right hand forward.

The same overwhelming Haki surged like a tide, colliding directly with Im's Haki wave.

The clash of Haki Haki triggered a violent explosion, which, although far less powerful than the previous clash of Ancient Weapon, still measured in kilometers in scale.

The Black Haki Inazuma shot out wildly in all directions, almost filling the entire sky.

"What?"

Im couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

How did this guy's Haki become so strong?

She's almost on par with him now, and in such a short time...

Even if he Awakening his abilities, Conqueror's Haki can become stronger, but Armament Haki can only be strengthened through the tempering of time.

What exactly happened?

Im simply couldn't understand it.

"Hmph."

Ian smiled softly.

Yes, I added some points to the Haki.

The power collected using the Sun Spell can be distributed to Haki to allow the stagnant Haki to evolve again.

Both the quality and the skills have made a qualitative leap compared to before.

This is the true value of a man-made system panel!

Im, you're facing the Deep Blue Host now!

Yi's current strength is entirely due to his own hard work!

Ian stomped on the air, a surge of Haki erupting from beneath his feet, propelling him forward like a rocket.

Im, of course, did not back down and threw a punch at the oncoming Ian.

The two fists, both shrouded in Two-Color Haki, collided from a distance.

A pitch-black hole burst open between his fists, and a thick, Haki Inazuma lightning instantly pierced through the sky.

The already turbulent sea was so powerfully compressed by the surging, ferocious force that it caved in.

Damn it!

Im's voice was almost forced out from his throat.

It's not an illusion, it's true, this brat's Haki is really on par with his!

How could such a thing possibly happen?

Ian didn't give Im much time to be shocked, his fists raining down like a storm.

Armament Haki, which had evolved to a completely new level, was now wrapped around his fists, almost solidifying into a physical form.

After being mixed with Conqueror's Haki, it was as if a solid outer armor had been applied to his arms.

Both its defensive and destructive capabilities have been greatly enhanced.

but.

This level of Haki can only be described as having the qualifications to fight Im on equal terms.

Im threw a punch to meet the attack.

Their fists clashed repeatedly, their Haki clashed constantly, the entire sky trembled because of them, and the whole sea boiled because of them.

Even Sky King and Pluton, dozens of kilometers away, were shaken by the shockwaves from their clash.

"..."

Inside the Sky King's palace, the high-ranking officials of the World Government who were watching the battle all had stiff expressions.

"Unbelievable,"

Despite not having done anything yet, Vice Admiral Tsuru couldn't help but rub his temples wearily. "Right now, what we're witnessing is truly two humans locked in battle."

If one hadn't just witnessed the true power of Ancient Weapon, one would have thought they were the humanoid Ancient Weapon themselves.

Given the strength these two have displayed, could anyone here withstand even a single blow from them?

The Gorosei were almost completely mute.

He especially found Saturn difficult to understand.

How is that possible?

How could such a thing possibly happen?

Not long ago, during that clash at the Marine Science Unit Base, when neither side was using their abilities, Ian was completely suppressed by Lord Im!

At that time, Ian's Haki skills were nowhere near those of Lord Im!

But now Ian is completely on par with Lord Im.

That's Lord Im, the king who has ruled this world for eight hundred years!

He is now unable to do anything to a young man in his early twenties.

Although Lord Im hasn't used his abilities yet, Ian hasn't used his either!

Damn it!!

While everyone on Sky King's side was filled with trepidation, everyone on Pluton' side was already cheering.

"Is Im already helpless?"

Luo's lips curled into a smile, and he unhesitatingly popped open the champagne ahead of time. "That Im guy has absolutely no chance of winning!"

"Of course!"

Jack spoke up matter-of-factly, "Brother Ian hasn't even reached his full potential yet!"

It's not that he hasn't fully demonstrated his power yet, but rather that he can add more points to further raise the already astonishing ceiling of his strength.

"But are we just going to stand here and watch?"

Teacher Kai was a little annoyed. "That kid Ian is currently fighting a powerful enemy, but are we just supposed to watch?"

"It's not a wise move to leave Pluton now."

Dragon advised, "We're not like Ian, who can ignore the Sky King's attacks. Once exposed, we could be annihilated in an instant."

Only Pluton can stand against Sky King; only Pluton can withstand Sky King's attacks.

Teacher Kai gritted his teeth.

So why is it that the Sky King can use it?

Without that Ancient Weapon, everything would be much simpler.

In the sky, the battle between Ian and Im continued.

However, the two were indeed very close in strength at this moment. Their constant clashes of fists and feet, apart from keeping the world in turmoil, did not bring any substantial results.

And then, in the next instant, the tide of battle turned.

A massive beam of light shot out from behind Im.

The moment the beam of light approached, Im vanished from his original spot and appeared inside Sky King.

The navy personnel fell silent as they looked at the black-robed figure who had suddenly appeared beside them.

Im...

Is this the guy?

King of the World Government?

As Im was summoned back into the Sky King's interior, Ian narrowed his eyes; the massive beam cannon was now only inches away from him.

Even from such a vast distance, is it possible to control the Sky King?

These so-called dependents are quite interesting.

As Ian was thinking this, his body was instantly engulfed by the violent beam of light.

But at the same time, another beam of light shot out from behind him.

Within Pluton.

"Hahaha! Let's go!!"

Bullet, whose body had already merged with Pluton, burst into wild laughter.

Enel stood beside him.

Both of them possessed Observation Haki that allowed Future Sight, so Sky King's sudden attack could not possibly have escaped their notice.

The moment the Sky King fired, they retaliated with their own cannons.

They completely disregarded the fact that Ian was right in their path of shelling.

Because they knew that even attacks from Ancient Weapon wouldn't be able to harm Ian.

Boom!!!

The terrifying orb of light bloomed once more.

The already severely damaged deep-sea bed was once again forced to expose itself and was then mercilessly crushed.

The oceanic tectonic plates were forcibly compressed, even creating a mountain range in the far distance.

"Did it succeed??"

Inside the violently shaking Sky King, Saturn couldn't help but speak with anticipation.

Ian was now enveloped by the combined attacks of two Ancient Weapon!

If this still doesn't kill him, then I really don't know how to defeat him.

"..."

Im remained silent, his Observation Haki fixed intently on the sky.

However, the final results were disappointing.

The explosion gradually subsided, and the enormous sphere of light slowly dissipated.

Whether it was the government officials within Sky King or the allied forces within Pluton, they could all see through the monitoring system that a ball of flame was slowly gathering in the sky.

In the end, he reverted to his original appearance as Ian.

Unharmed, Ian even waved to Sky King in the distance with great interest, greeting the World Government members.

His ability to Flame Incarnation is a true and complete Elementalization, a phenomenon that allows him to become entirely a form of flame.

His flames were already extraordinary, and after Awakening, strengthening, and further stat allocation, they became terrifying.

Even such a violent explosion could not extinguish his flames.

"Waaaaaah!!"

Inside the Sky King, Ryokugyu suddenly clutched his head and screamed in agony, collapsing to the ground and rolling around like a spoiled brat. "What the hell?! How can there be such an unreasonable guy in the world?!"

"He's not only outrageously strong, but he also has such a shameless ability to survive! What kind of person in this world could possibly defeat him?!"

Normally, if this Marine Admiral were to say something like that at this time, the Gorosei would have already reprimanded him angrily, or even punished him directly.

After all, this is in front of Lord Im; how can anyone be allowed to lose their composure?

However, at this point, the Gorosei were also almost in despair.

They agree with Ryokugyu's statement more than anyone else.

Even Ancient Weapon can't harm Ian, so how can he be killed?

Even if they win this war, destroy Pluton, and kill everyone in the Beasts Pirates, what will Ian do?

This guy not only possesses strength comparable to Lord Im, but also has a survival ability that can only be described as ruthless.

Even if he stood right in front of them and allowed them to attack him with Ancient Weapon, they couldn't harm him in the slightest.

What should we do with an enemy like this?

Im did not speak.

But having witnessed Ian's power firsthand, he understood the situation better than anyone else.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle sizzle!!

Sky King trembled, and in the next instant, beams of light shot towards Pluton like a torrential rain.

There's no turning back now!

Attack! Attack is all we have now!

Ian's lips twitched.

Behind him, Pluton also opened fire across the entire ship; apart from the massive main cannon, all the cannons simultaneously emitted beams of light.

Boom boom boom boom!!

The sky was instantly swallowed up by dazzling light.

The massive explosion blotted out the entire sky and tore the entire sea apart.

The two massive Ancient Weapon were also engulfed by the explosion.

Amidst the violent tremors, beams of light inevitably went astray.

Pluton' side is doing alright; they're attacking from below, so even when they fire deflected beams, the projectiles still fly into the sky.

But the Sky King is about to die.

Beams of light shot down from the sky and plunged straight into the sea.

The ocean, which is tens of thousands of meters deep, served no purpose whatsoever and was directly blasted through by the massive explosion.

The entire seabed began to tremble violently, being torn apart, crushed, squeezed, and ravaged. The magma deep underground didn't even have time to gush out before it was completely evaporated by the massive explosion.

The entire New World was shaking violently.

No!

At this moment, the whole world was trembling!

This can't go on.

Ian's body was once again torn apart into flames by the violent explosion.

If the Sky King continues to bombard us like this, the entire New World will be doomed.

So, let's stop here with the Ancient Weapon clashes and move on to the second stage.

Since everyone has Ancient Weapon, it's as if no one has Ancient Weapon at all.

Try a different approach to win.

In that instant, Ian transformed into a giant firebird.

After Awakening, his beast form also changed, becoming a strange state between physical form and flame, similar to his orc form.

With a flap of its wings, the terrifying power actually withstood the violent explosion.

Taking advantage of a lull in the explosion, he quickly returned to Pluton ' deck.

Bullet opened the door, allowing Ian to re-enter the interior of Pluton.

"Are we going to keep wasting time with them like this?"

Red-Haired shouted, "If this continues, who knows what terrible disaster will result!"

"While a war of attrition might be a good idea, the energy reserves of the Holy Mother's Flame should be stronger than Im's life force reserves,"

Ian said something puzzling, "But, indeed, this New World is my New World, and we can't let things continue to be destroyed like this."

"So,"

Ian turned his head and looked at Aunt Linlin.

"Um?"

Aunt Linlin was a little confused. "Why are you looking at me like that, kid?"

"Now let's go inside the Sky King' territory and have the final battle with them."

Ian said.

"The Sky King's interior?"

Aunt Linlin was taken aback, then said irritably, "Are you kidding me? With such terrifying firepower, how are we supposed to get inside the Sky King's territory?"

"No, it's possible."

Ian said seriously, "We won't go into the real world."

At that moment, Katakuri suddenly realized, "You mean, Brulee?"

My crimes are heinous...
