Buzz!
The purest and most abundant golden Nika Origin surged forth instantly.
It transformed into countless tiny streams of light, rapidly swirling and circling around Luffy.
Without the slightest rejection, the power from the same source surged wildly into Luffy's limbs, bones, and soul through his skin pores, meridians, and blood vessels.
The next second, an immense and powerful energy exploded from Luffy's body, sweeping across the entire hall!
Thump thump thump--!
A deep, resonant heartbeat, like that of an ancient god awakening, suddenly resounded throughout the entire castle, causing the fine stones on the ground to tremble and pulsate slightly.
Luffy, enveloped in golden-red Haki Inazuma, went berserk and charged wildly, his black hair standing on end.
The energy within his body surged wildly and rapidly at an unbelievable speed, rising in layers.
"Not good!"
Roy instantly sensed the disturbance and reacted with lightning speed.
A vast and powerful Telekinesis instantly spread out, forming a thick, solid, and invisible barrier around everyone.
It completely isolated the rampaging energy blasts, firmly protecting everyone.
Inside the main hall, a fierce wind howled, golden light filled the sky, and air currents surged and churned.
Luffy jumped and tumbled uncontrollably, his clear and unrestrained laughter echoing throughout the hall.
He was in a state of extreme excitement, immersed in the ultimate pleasure of a surge in power.
The purest and most unparalleled Nika Origin thoroughly cleansed and tempered his physical body and meridians, honed his Armament Haki, perfected the rules of the Devil Fruit's essence, and repaired every subtle hidden danger in his body.
To fundamentally raise the upper limit of his combat power and complete a comprehensive transformation and sublimation.
A few minutes later,
The swirling golden light completely subsided, and all of Nika Origin energy was fully absorbed and perfectly integrated into Luffy's body.
Luffy's Gear Fifth: Nika Form slowly faded, returning him to his normal appearance.
However, the light in his eyes became clearer and brighter, and his aura lost some of its youthful exuberance, gaining more composure and profundity, revealing a completely different foundation.
Before anyone could even marvel at this incredible transformation in combat power, a familiar black shadow suddenly loomed over Luffy's head.
Luffy! You're messing around again!
Enraged, Nami delivered a merciless, signature iron fist that slammed into Luffy's head.
Bang!
A dull thud rang out, Luffy was instantly smashed halfway into the crater, sporting a huge bump on his head. He quickly raised his hands, begging for mercy.
"I'm so sorry! I couldn't help myself!"
Nami, hands on her hips, angrily berated Luffy for a long time.
The farce only ended when Luffy, covered in bumps, obediently bowed his head, admitted his mistake, and vowed never to act recklessly again.
Roy slowly dispelled the Telekinesis: Barrier around him, stepped forward to Luffy who was stuck in the crater, looked down at him, and spoke in a calm and steady tone:
How are you feeling now?
Are you experiencing any physical discomfort? Is your strength stable? Are there any signs of loss of control?
Luffy immediately tumbled up from the pit, stretching his limbs and loosening his muscles.
Clenching his fists and feeling the surging, abundant power within his body, a radiant smile instantly bloomed on his face.
"It feels so good! My whole body is filled with endless energy!"
I've never felt so strong or so secure before!
" My Haki, physical strength, and Devil Fruit abilities have all become stronger."
Moreover, the power is exceptionally stable; there's absolutely no unusual sensation!
Luffy's tone was full of excitement and joy, clearly sensing the transformation of his overall combat power.
At this moment, his overall combat strength has completely surpassed his previous peak, achieving a qualitative leap.
Everyone looked at Luffy, who had been completely transformed and whose abilities had greatly increased, with expressions of satisfaction on their faces.
The Nika Origin preserved by Joy Boy is perfectly compatible with Luffy's, sharing the same origin and having no side effects.
It truly enabled him to achieve a leap in combat power.
Roy nodded slightly, his gaze then falling on the bottle of Davy Jones Origin in the treasure chest, shrouded in a black and white mist, a hint of deep thought and caution flashing in his eyes.
Luffy absorbed the same source as Nika Origin without any harm and his combat power increased dramatically, which is enough to prove that the compatibility of the same source is extremely perfect.
Therefore, this bottle of primal power, which also belongs to Davy Jones, should also be of considerable benefit to him.
However, Roy did not intend to absorb this energy here.
Who knows if there are any unknown secrets hidden within?
After all, Davy Jones isn't like Joy Boy Luffy, who seem to be on the side of light.
They belong to the Good and Lawful camp.
After a brief weighing of the pros and cons, Roy had already made up his mind.
Roy took out his personal storage bag and put in the extremely risky Array-Array Fruit and the Davy Jones Origin Porcelain Bottle that he had not yet absorbed.
Everything was carefully stored away.
Nami and the others hesitated to speak about Roy's actions, but due to Roy's imposing presence, they opened their mouths but said nothing.
From Nami and the others' expressions, Roy knew exactly what they were worried about.
Array-Array Fruit, you know!
While this fruit would pose a significant threat if it fell into the hands of the World Government, the only way to truly complete their immortality ritual's magic circle is to Awakening this fruit.
Roy, however, wouldn't give them that time.
Moreover, Roy was also very interested in the abilities that this fruit had demonstrated and was determined to acquire it.
The reason is that both the Op-Op Fruit Ope no Mi and the Munch-Munch Fruit are now in their camp.
If they could cultivate an Awakening being with the power of the Array-Array Fruit," then Roy and the others would have a great chance at collective immortality after conquering the world in the future.
Thus, the three ultimate treasures that Joy Boy had painstakingly preserved over eight centuries were all properly placed and settled.
"Let's do another thorough and detailed check to make sure we haven't missed any clues," Robin suggested at the opportune moment.
Everyone nodded in agreement and dispersed again.
A final, comprehensive search was conducted on every corner of the main hall, the giant red stone tablet, and the hidden mezzanine levels.
From the arrival of the Ancient Moon People in the Blue Sea and the division of ancient tribes, to the outbreak of an epic war of gods and the collapse of a massive continent;
From the betrayal and rebellion of the Twenty Kings and the formation of the Void Century lie, to the exposure of the World Government's immortality conspiracy and the truth of the Nineteen Kings' dark rule;
Joy Boy's plans have been passed down through generations, leaving behind a treasure trove awaiting redemption.
Eight hundred years of nested secrets, deliberately concealed and completely distorted by the World Government.
It has already been fully unlocked and the complete loop has been established.
All the secrets of Laugh Tale, the ultimate island, which had been sealed for thousands of years, have been completely revealed to the world, with nothing left unsaid.
"The entire investigation is complete; there are no remaining leads."
Usopp let out a long sigh of relief, finally feeling completely at ease.
"The truth that needed to be uncovered, the cards that needed to be acquired, have all been obtained."
Zoro looked up towards the exit of the main hall, his fighting spirit rising.
"The exploration of Laugh Tale has come to a complete end."
Everyone composed themselves and turned their gazes to the vast sky outside the main hall.
Unbeknownst to them, the group had been on this island of endings for quite some time.
In the outside world —the New World Seas, the Hachinosu base, and the Mary Geoise Holy Land—various forces are engaged in undercurrents of activity and relentless competition.
Over this period of time, the situation across the entire ocean must have undergone tremendous changes.
Once the World Government discovers the existence of the Laugh Tale treasure, Luffy's complete Awakening the Perfect Nika power, and the realization of the Forbidden Array-Array Fruit,
They will certainly use all the trump cards they've accumulated over eight hundred years, and unleash the full power of the Holy Land.
At all costs, launch a full-scale siege to crush any hope of overthrowing the dark rule.
The Hachinosu Allied Forces, the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, and resistance forces from all corners of the Four Blues are undoubtedly in grave danger at this moment, and the situation is extremely precarious.
"It's time to go back."
Sanji raised his hand and stubbed out the cigarette between his fingers, his eyes resolute and sharp, his whole body radiating a chilling fighting spirit.
"The battlefields outside have been waiting for us for far too long."
"Um!"
Luffy nodded emphatically, a burning fighting spirit igniting in his clear eyes, his tone resounding and powerful:
"Go back and beat those hypocritical bastards to a pulp!"
Let's put an end to these eight hundred years of dark lies!
Without further hesitation, the group turned and stepped out of the magnificent final hall.
Step by step, we bid farewell to this supreme ancient castle, sealed away for eight hundred years with blood, tears, and truth.
The moment you step out of the ancient castle, the salty, damp sea breeze blows against your face, dispelling the dull silence that has settled inside the palace for thousands of years.
Behind him lay the silent, dilapidated city of Laugh Tale, a ghost town bearing the weight of eight centuries of blood, tears, humiliation, lies, and resistance.
Before him stretched a vast, Blue Sea, a world teeming with life, where war was about to rage and the ultimate showdown was imminent.
Loki hoisted the giant Iron Thunder, his giant bloodline stirring violently. His steady steps shattered the silence, awaiting the final battle to wash away a thousand years of darkness.
Zoro and Sanji stood firmly on either side of Luffy, their Haki concealed within them, their boundless fighting spirit lurking around them, ready to rush into battle at any moment.
Nami, Robin, Usopp, Chopper, and the others looked resolute. Having experienced the journey to Laugh Tale and seen through the darkness of eight hundred years ago, they...
They have long since shed their past naivety and timidity, and are fully prepared to face the ultimate showdown and redeem all living beings.
Roy stood at the very front of the group, his gaze piercing through the distant sea, looking towards the New World where war was about to break out, his mind filled with countless thoughts.
Eight hundred years of dark chess game, a dictatorial rule built on lies, an evil conspiracy that will never die, a history that has been forcibly altered, and freedom in the world that has been imprisoned by layers of restrictions—all the truths have now been revealed to the world.
Now they hold the ultimate trump card left by Joy Boy, and bear the millennia-old mission of breaking fate and redeeming the world.
Finally, they possessed the absolute strength to face Imu directly and contend with the nineteen ancient immortal kings.
"Set off, return to the New World."
Roy gave the order, his voice steady and powerful, echoing through the sea breeze.
The group walked side by side, steadily making their way towards the Thousand Sunny docked at the port.
The enormous sailboat slowly set sail, cutting through the layers of vast waves, gradually moving away from the island of endings that held the truth of the final outcome.
The sea breeze howled, the waves surged wildly, the road ahead was long, and war was raging.
The dark curtain that has shrouded the world for eight hundred years will finally be torn apart and completely lifted by their own hands.
The ultimate battle, sweeping across the entire Blue Sea and concerning the fate of the world, has officially begun.
