Emet didn't want to be enemies with Luo Wen, but Joy Boy's knot was crucial to him.
It was sleeping soundly when suddenly Luo Wen destroyed its treasure and flipped it over.
If it were to back down now, it really wouldn't be able to swallow this insult.
Finally, Amy looked at Luo Wen and said hesitantly, "I don't want to be your enemy, but you destroyed the gift Joy Boy left me."
With a smile, Luo Wen said, "If I called Joy Boy out to talk to you, would you still care about this little knot?"
"If I see Joy Boy again, I definitely won't be angry."
Although Emet didn't understand what Luo Wen meant, he still spoke honestly.
The knot was a gift from Joy Boy, its sentimental value outweighing its practical significance.
If I could see Joy Boy again, this souvenir would be irrelevant.
"Alright, I'll call Joy Boy out so we can talk."
Luo Wen was not surprised by Emet's reaction.
"Huh? Are you messing with Emet?" Emet looked at Luo Wen angrily. "Joy Boy has been dead for eight hundred years, and Nika hasn't even Awakening yet. How can Joy Boy be talking to Emet!"
"Don't be impatient, just watch me do it."
Luo Wen reached out his hand to Emet.
With a surge of magic, a giant hand instantly formed and took the knotted rope that had been broken in two.
It served as the vessel for Joy Boy Conqueror's Haki, and was also his final gift to Emet.
This knot has a deep connection with Joy Boy and is quite suitable for summoning Heroic Spirit.
"Roar!"
Emet roared at Luo Wen, trying to take back the knot.
"Quiet."
Luo Wen glanced at Emet, and Conqueror's Haki Impact with black and red Inazuma pressed down on Emet.
Boom!
Emet stumbled again and fell awkwardly onto the sand.
Its face was full of frustration; even though it was the second time it had endured this, it still couldn't bear it.
That Conqueror's Haki, surpassing even Joy Boy's, was simply too powerful.
Before it could even stand up, it attacked Luo Wen again.
But then I saw...
A gigantic figure slowly materialized in front of Luo Wen, transforming from ethereal to real.
"Joy Boy!"
Emet cried out in alarm.
Even though the giant was only an outline, it wouldn't mistake its aura.
Eight hundred years have passed, yet Joy Boy's presence remains deeply etched in its mind.
But what's going on? How could Joy Boy, who died eight hundred years ago, appear today, eight hundred years later?
Could the man before it truly enable it to communicate with Joy Boy?
Emet couldn't help but quiet down, watching with anticipation as the phantom materialized.
Eight hundred years have passed, my best friend, can we finally meet again?
Along with it, Vegapunk, Kizaru, and a few others watched intently.
Time passed second by second, and the giant's figure became increasingly solid.
He wore a huge Straw Hat, shorts, and a vest, and his aura was highly consistent with the Conqueror's Haki released by the knot earlier.
Compared to how quickly Luo Wen converted Heroic Spirit in the past, today's pace is a bit too slow.
Unlike others, Joy Boy today is a giant, and a powerful giant whose strength surpasses that of the Four Emperors.
The magical power consumed by Joy Boy alone was more than twice that of all the other Heroic Spirit combined.
Even with Luo Wen's infinitely regenerating magic, it would still take some time to fully replenish it.
However, Joy Boy's spirit has already shown signs of life, and it will be over soon.
Vegapunk was speechless, staring at the scene in disbelief. "What... what's going on?"
He studied the Void Century through the materials left by the Ohara scholars, and naturally knew just how significant the name Joy Boy was.
But is this powerful figure, who clearly died eight hundred years ago, about to reappear in this era?
Stussy, however, was focused on something else. She turned to Vegapunk and asked, "Doctor, do you know the principle behind resurrection?"
"I don't know." Vegapunk honestly shook his head. "I might have some experience in healing someone who has faked their death, but I can't even imagine resurrecting a soul from eight hundred years ago."
"Another ability added, Luo Wen is becoming more and more mysterious." Stussy looked at Luo Wen, her pink tongue lightly licking her red lips. "It seems that Doctor, we can stay under Luo Wen's command with peace of mind. Even if we die, we can be resurrected!"
With their immense strength and such miraculous abilities, joining them would be a worthwhile investment.
"Ah, is that so?" Vegapunk nodded in agreement, then asked Stussy, "By the way, how did you manage to persuade Luo Wen to come and save me?"
"Your intelligence," Stussy said with a bright smile, "And so do I."
"Ha?"
Vegapunk, sticking out his long tongue, awkwardly continued to turn his head to observe Joy Boy, who was about to be resurrected.
He felt something was off; Stussy was a clone of him, practically his daughter.
He actually made his daughter sacrifice herself to ask for help; he's truly useless.
At this moment, Saint Garling, whose courage had been shattered, couldn't help but look at Joy Boy, who was being resurrected.
Of course he knew that giant, Lord Imu's nemesis whom he had never forgotten in eight hundred years.
Even though he has been dead for eight hundred years, the Nika Fruit he passed down has made the World Government wary for eight hundred years.
There was also the Conqueror's Haki initially sealed his immortality; it was a super Conqueror's Haki, second only to Luo Wen.
Is this terrifying Joy Boy really going to be resurrected?
Lord Imu, what kind of enemy are we facing that can even resurrect spirits from eight hundred years ago!
Moreover, he believed that Luo Wen must have a limited method for dealing with resurrected people.
Putting everything else aside, that Conqueror's Haki that has just surpassed its limit is enough to control people's hearts.
Facing both Joy Boy and Luo Wen, who summoned him, the World Government had absolutely no chance of winning.
No, no.
Since Luo Wen could resurrect Joy Boy, did he resurrect any other powerful individuals?
Roger, Whitebeard, Rocks... these people were gathered together.
Saint Garling lay shivering in the yellow sand.
Luo Wen had stopped releasing Conqueror's Haki. At this moment, he was not under any control, and the Immortality Power bestowed upon him by Lord Imu was flowing through his body.
But he didn't lie on the ground and didn't move, because his will to resist had been shattered by Luo Wen along with his Conqueror's Haki.
He wasn't dead yet, but he was already like a corpse, just like the current World Government.
At that moment, Joy Boy fully recovered.
"Imu!"
A roar that had echoed for eight hundred years erupted the moment Joy Boy regained consciousness.
Then, black and red Inazuma, filled with intense anger, spread outwards with astonishing power and domineering presence.
However, the same domineering Haki flashed by in an instant.
Joy Boy's Conqueror's Haki didn't even last a second; it was forcibly suppressed as soon as it was released from his body.
"Quiet, Joy Boy."
Luo Wen looked up, gazing at him with deep, unfathomable eyes.
"..."
Joy Boy jolted awake, his eyes clearing.
