The True Grand Finale

After Shanks and the others left, Tianqi turned his attention to Im was fighting Joy Boy on the battlefield. Im's clothes had several holes in them, and the veil he was wearing had fallen off his face.

Seeing Im like this, Tianqi frowned deeply. Im's strength was far beyond his expectations. He had thought that Im was far superior to Joy Boy, but now she was being suppressed by Joy Boy, which was completely unexpected by Tianqi.

However, what Tianqi didn't know was that Im's raw strength was basically the same as Joy Boy's. The reason she was able to defeat Joy Boy hundreds of years ago was because she used a soul attack. However, the current Joy Boy not only lacked soul power but had also been strengthened, which was a huge problem for her.

"Hey Im, don't tell me that's all you're capable of. If that's the case, you've really disappointed me. Show me your true abilities!" Tianqi said loudly, clearly dissatisfied.

"Uchiha Tianqi, don't be too smug. Don't let me find an opportunity, or I will definitely obliterate your soul completely!" Im said through gritted teeth, cursing Tianqi a thousand times in his heart.

"Then you won't have that chance!" Tianqi didn't waste any more words; he immediately joined forces with Joy Boy to attack Im.

However, just half a minute later, something unexpected happened to Tianqi. With the combined efforts of him and Joy Boy, Im, who was known as the King of the World, was defeated in less than half a minute.

[Ding! Congratulations, host, for defeating the World King Im. Time travel will begin in one minute. Please prepare yourself.]

Hearing the system's voice, Tianqi finally confirmed that Im really only had this much strength. He looked at Im speechlessly and said, "I'm telling you, you're supposed to be from another planet. Did you buy your title of King of the World with Beli?"

"Hmph! Defeat is defeat. Stop making sarcastic remarks. If you want to kill me, then kill me!" Im snorted coldly. Since she had lost, she had nothing more to say.

Tianqi remained silent. He pulled up Im's timeline again to examine the details of her battle with Joy Boy back then. He had only glanced at it before and didn't understand it very well. Now he wanted to take a closer look at how Im defeated Joy Boy.

After reviewing the information, Tianqi pulled back the timeline and looked at Im with a speechless expression, saying, "So, you really only have this much strength!"

The truth is that Im and Joy Boy are roughly equal in strength. The reason Im was able to defeat Joy Boy, who possessed the three Ancient Weapons, was entirely because she had a killer move targeting the soul. Moreover, she only narrowly won back then. It's normal that she can't defeat Joy Boy now, who possesses the Six Paths of Reincarnation but no soul.

Tianqi also saw from the timeline the purpose of Im's stay in the pirate world. It turned out that hundreds of years ago, Im escaped from his own planet and took the only seed of the World Tree from his planet with him, planting it in the core of the pirate planet. This is why there are Devil Fruit in the pirate world. They all flowed out from the World Tree growing in the core.

Im's existence can also be seen as protecting this planet. After all, if the people from her planet came looking for her, they would definitely destroy the pirate world. Killing her now would be equivalent to weakening the pirate world's power.

"That's all the strength I have. Kill me if you want, no need for so much nonsense!" Im turned his head away, not even glancing at Tianqi.

"Hehe..." Tianqi smiled slightly, raised his hand and activated a healing spell, healing Im's injuries.

"Huh? What do you mean by this?" Im looked at Tianqi with a puzzled expression as he saw Tianqi heal his injuries.

Tianqi didn't immediately answer Im's question. Instead, he used his Kamui to send Joy Boy onto the Conqueror. After doing all this, he looked at Im and said, "I know everything about you. Although you're not a great person, I never said I wanted to kill you. I'm already very satisfied that I was able to defeat you today!"

"Beat me? Hmph! If it weren't for this big oaf being a variable, who knows who would have won or lost!" Im raised her head arrogantly, showing no sign of backing down even after losing.

"Say what you will. It's time for me to leave this world completely. You can enjoy yourself here. If you have time, help me take care of the Conqueror Pirates. If you don't have time, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

After Tianqi finished speaking, a vortex appeared in the sky. This vortex was a time tunnel, and Tianqi flew directly into the time tunnel to move towards the next world.

Uchiha Tianqi's story in One Piece has come to a complete end, but Tianqi's journey has not stopped. Tianqi's story continues to unfold in various worlds, and every time he goes to a new world, the name of Uchiha Tianqi spreads throughout that world.
