The One Who Could End It!

On the ground, the demonized Leviathan was trapped in place.

But Imu did not panic. He believed his plan was sound!

Then!

Roar!

Leviathan let out a furious roar.

He forced himself into motion, every leg dragging against its chain. Several bottomless trenches were gouged into the ground.

Imu drew on his Darkness Origin.

He began battering the chains.

Dark Energy tried to corrode and devour them.

Chen Ye did not stop Imu.

He closed his eyes.

Through Observation Haki, he saw every current of Dark Energy flowing through Leviathan's body with perfect clarity.

Then Chen Ye tightened the chains.

Imu's attempt to break free by force came to nothing!

Rage seized Imu.

He gave up trying to wrench free and swept his massive tail across the battlefield.

Leviathan's tail dragged its chains through the air toward Chen Ye.

Seeing the attack coming,

Chen Ye poured in more power, pulling every chain taut.

Leviathan's enormous body was ripped off the ground and left hanging in midair.

Imu thrashed wildly in every direction, but the chains held him fast.

The restraints worked.

But they would not hold forever.

Chen Ye turned his head toward a half-collapsed ice-covered rock in the distance.

Luffy sat behind it with his legs crossed.

The Sun God Power Chen Ye had infused into him flowed through his body, healing his wounds from the battle.

"Luffy!"

Chen Ye's shout rang clearly in Luffy's ears!

"If you're done resting, it's time to fight!"

Behind the rock, Luffy shuddered.

The faint Golden Flames inside him suddenly surged.

Sun God Power burst from his chest and spread through his body like a lit fuse.

Wherever it passed over a wound, the Golden Flames forced the torn flesh back together.

But the pain was excruciating!

Pain.

Agony.

Luffy gritted his teeth,
