This World Is Mine!

Ian didn't know why Im had stopped.

But he didn't need to know why. He only knew that he had thought there was no way to defeat Im this time, but suddenly things took a turn for the better.

Without any hesitation, he immediately sped up and rushed to the scene.

Then he discovered that Sky King was standing still in the starry sky, while Im had even abandoned Sky King and teleported away on his own.

Was the Sky King destroyed in the battle just now?

The thought flashed through Ian's mind instantly.

But Ian immediately dismissed the thought.

If it was going to break, it would have broken long ago; it wouldn't have taken hundreds of thousands of kilometers to finally break down completely.

Has the energy run out?

After all, the Holy Mother's Flame are currently contained within Pluton, and Sky King should not have any energy supply.

Although it's unknown what method Im used to power Sky King, the fact that he didn't intend to use this method beforehand but instead had Vegapunk create the Holy Mother's Flame suggests that the method must have some kind of flaw.

For example, right now.

Energy gained through shortcuts is indeed short-lived!

Ian chased after Im with a bright smile.

After losing the blessing of the Sky King, Im's distance of teleportation without coordinates was greatly reduced, since he could not teleport himself to a place outside his perception range.

Moreover, the time spent on teleportation has increased significantly.

The end result was that, while he was still roaring in the starry sky, preparing for the next teleportation, Ian pierced through his body from behind.

"Forehead!!"

Im's eyes suddenly widened and his mouth opened wide, but no blood spurted out.

His body vanished instantly, and the teleportation, which had been poised to launch, finally activated at that moment thanks to the momentum of its power.

"They have a system."

Even Ian couldn't help but exclaim, "They still managed to escape like that?"

But what's the point of running away now?

Ian flashed out as a streak of fire.

Nearly a hundred kilometers away in the starry sky, Im suddenly appeared here.

"Oh, we meet again."

A faint voice sounded from the side.

Im turned his head blankly.

Ian was slowly flapping his wings, sword in hand, waiting for him there.

Now, I'm faster!

Although it can't compare to the speed at which the Sky King could teleport thousands of kilometers in an instant.

But Ian's speed is equally astonishing.

With a flap of its wings and Haki jet propulsion, it could fly a thousand kilometers in just a few seconds, and a hundred kilometers in less than 0.5 seconds. Catching up with Im at this moment would be an easy task.

Im has no chance of escaping anymore.

However, he probably won't run away again.

after all.

"It's unbelievable that you could still escape even in this state."

Ian looked at Im at this moment and couldn't help but sigh.

The sword that just pierced Im's chest was the dark red one in his hand!

The Destruction Flame, having undergone extreme enhancement, already possessed the power to destroy everything in the world, and it was further infused with Haki that had been enhanced to an exaggerated degree.

The destruction began the instant the crimson sword pierced through Im's massive demonic body.

At the very 0.001 second after being pierced, a huge hole had already exploded in Im's chest.

At 0.05 seconds, Im's chest was completely reduced to ashes.

Then, the teleportation was activated, Im disappeared from the spot.

To be precise, it was Im's neck and above that were teleported away.

Therefore, all Ian saw at that moment was a head.

Apart from the head, everything about Im has been completely destroyed, not even a single atom remains, so there should be no way for him to be reborn.

That's why it's said that Im is no longer able to teleport away to escape.

Should I just stab him in the head?

Ian said with some regret, "Or should we just set you on fire and reduce you to ashes?"

If that were the case, Im wouldn't be in such an awkward situation now.

Honestly, it's a bit creepy. They're still alive even with just a head left. Does the Immortal Surgery" truly mean immortality?

Fortunately, even if Im shoots two beams from his eyes at this moment, he can simply ignore them, otherwise he would really worry about repeating the old story of Jonathan Joestar and DIO.

"Ian!!"

Ian had no idea how Im could speak when he only had a head left. His lungs had disappeared, so how was he managing to exhale and vibrate his vocal cords?

Oh well, let's just assume he learned it from DIO.

"Why! Why does someone like you exist?!"

Im was roaring hoarsely, all trace of the calm and collected demeanor he had when he first appeared before Ian was gone; now, only hysteria remained.

Then, after the hysteria, Im's voice suddenly dropped, and his voice and lips began to tremble.

"Why does someone like you even exist in this world?!"

Ian raised his hand and scratched his head, looking somewhat bewildered.

Is Im crying?

Tears slid down his cheeks, like the first crack appearing on a dam. These two tears were not the end, but merely the beginning.

"Ian! Ian! Ian!!"

Im was almost wailing at this point, and in a state of collapse, all he could do was call out Ian's name.

"We already have Mu, why would someone like you be born into this world?!"

"Oh."

Ian sighed, seemingly puzzled.

Has he now replicated Joy Boy's feat from back then, making Im cry?

How ugly!

Just accept it all as fate.

Ian raised his sword. Let's end it all here.

What's the point of wasting words with a guy like that?

All he needs to do is die.

"Wait! Ian!"

Im, who had been weeping, suddenly regained his senses. Realizing that Ian was about to kill him, he immediately screamed, "I can't die here! I can't die! I want to live!"

"Spare me! I will submit to you..."

"Heaven and Earth Ash!"

The dark red blade slashed down, instantly splitting Im's head in two.

Ian's gaze was cold and sharp.

At this point, what's the point of all this nonsense?

Im's expression froze completely.

His terrifying vitality meant that even with his head split in two, he didn't die immediately.

No one knows what he was thinking, but in that instant, he blurted out, "Joy Boy-- "

And then, that was it.

The head, split in two, vanished instantly under the force of destruction. Not content with that, Ian swung his longsword, and flames transformed into a brilliant pillar of fire that pierced through the starry sky in an instant. He was determined to burn away every trace that Im might have left behind.

Is this the end?

Ian slowly lowered the blade, a sense of bewilderment suddenly welling up in his heart.

The Observation Haki continued to work, meticulously scanning all the auras within a fairly wide area around it.

It's highly likely that Im will never possess the unreasonable regenerative abilities of the Gorosei.

But what if?

If that guy survives, it will still be quite troublesome.

We've already taken ninety-nine steps; it would be too much of a waste to overlook the last one.

After searching carefully several times, Ian was certain that Im had indeed vanished without a trace.

Not a trace was left. Even if that guy possessed regenerative abilities on par with Majin Buu, he was now beyond dead.

"Call--"

Ian out a slow sigh of relief.

Honestly, it's much simpler and easier than I imagined.

The final battle with Im ended before he even broke a sweat.

Although he hadn't expected Im to be hiding his ultimate human-machine integration technique, everything was already decided once he and Uta unleashed their exhilarating combo.

This is the true value of the Winged Dragon of Ra of Sun God; the moment its power Awakening, the outcome was already decided.

Ian's lips gradually curled into a smile.

He turned around and looked at the Blue Star in the dark depths of space in the distance.

Go back, go back to my world.

Ian transformed into light once more.

He stopped before the next second had even passed.

The enormous Straw Hat floated silently in front of him.

Ian quietly examined the enormous Ancient Weapon before him.

Uranus and the savior of the Bikans, was originally a being that carried the hopes of all people and was born for redemption, but later became a vicious weapon that almost destroyed the world.

And now, it belongs to him.

However, this thing was also quite damaged in the previous battles.

The brim of the Straw Hat was missing a section, a very abrupt gap, and the heavy cannon below was also missing as a result.

However, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Then take it back.

Ian's body suddenly swelled, transforming once again into a massive fire dragon with a wingspan of several kilometers.

Grabbing one corner of the Sky King with both hands, Ian exerted only a slight force, and was already dragging this behemoth forward at high speed.

Even the Sky King, as vast as an island, is no heavier than a straw in front of Ian now.

Although the speed was indeed much slower, Ian was still rapidly returning to the Blue Star.

Blue Sea, the New World, the battlefield of that final battle.

The turbulent sea has yet to calm down.

The massive warship Pluton was now drifting with the current.

Inside this large ship.

"What exactly is the situation now?!"

Hancock bit her fingernails anxiously, "It's been so long and there's still no news!"

She has always been a cool and aloof beauty, and under normal circumstances, she rarely shows her emotions, let alone appear as anxious as she does now.

But there's no way around it; when it comes to Ian, Hancock simply loses all her composure and calmness.

"Everything will be alright."

Compared to Hancock, Yamato felt much more at ease, and at this moment she had even asked Sanji to prepare some food for her and was enjoying it immensely.

While stuffing herself with food, the white-haired beauty said with a grin, "How could Ian possibly lose!"

"That's right,"

Luo casually remarked, "Anyone who isn't an idiot can see that even with the addition of the Sky King, Im has completely lost the power to contend with Ian. His death is only a matter of time."

"That's right, there's no need to worry, Hancock."

Black Maria comforted him, saying, "When has Ian ever lost? Among all the Hero throughout history, there probably isn't a single person who could defeat Ian now."

In fact, could all the strongest people throughout history combined possibly defeat Ian?

That guy really can get stronger the more he fights.

The more people he defeats, the stronger he becomes.

What's there to worry about with a monster like that?

Hancock didn't speak, but her expression softened somewhat.

Yeah, how could Ian possibly lose?

"Hehehe! Now we can start preparing the celebratory dinner!"

Teacher Kai laughed and said, "We can have a feast once Ian gets back!"

"Leave it to me!"

Sanji wiped his nose, exuding extraordinary confidence.

He certainly wasn't particularly outstanding on that battlefield teeming with monsters.

But if the battlefield were in the kitchen hall, he would naturally have nothing to fear.

"There's no need to be in such a hurry."

Luo's lips twitched slightly.

While I don't think Ian will lose, you guys are really going overboard with the champagne.

"Hahaha! There's no way we can lose!"

Red-Haired laughed heartily, seemingly having completely integrated into the Beasts Pirates. "How could Ian possibly lose?"

Anyone who isn't blind could see just how vast the difference in strength between Ian and Im was in those final moments.

"I'm back!"

Suddenly, Enel spoke.

Suddenly, everyone inside the Pluton ship froze, turning to look at him.

Enel didn't speak; instead, his body instantly transformed into lightning and pierced into the cabin wall.

"Are you back?"

Yamato, who had been enjoying her Yamato, suddenly sprang to her feet. "Bullet! Take us to the deck!"

"Don't try to order me around! Who do you think you are?!"

Only Ian has the right to order me around!

Bullet, still Polymerization with Pluton, snorted coldly, but his ability was activated immediately, causing the ground to rise instantly, like an elevator carrying everyone upwards.

Did Ian win?

Hero Garp collapsed to the ground, rising up along with everyone else.

He sighed silently to himself.

So, is this world ultimately destined to fall into Ian's hands?

The upper deck cracked open, and the group successfully reached the upper deck of Pluton.

You can already see it here.

A colossal object is approaching from the sky.

Golden Flying Dragon, radiating light, gripped a giant Straw Hat and rapidly approached. Even though it was still far away, the gale it brought had already reached this side.

"Ian! Haha! Ian!"

Yamato and stepped on thin air to meet him, laughing happily, "Is it over? Has your dream come true?"

Ian had already approached, looked down at his childhood sweetheart approaching and listened to her cheerful voice, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Has my dream come true?
