The atmosphere at Pluton Medical Center was extremely tense.
Without taking a break, Law immediately began preparations. He placed the dark red [ Fragment of the Origin of Destruction ] into a specially made energy stabilizer, connecting it with countless intricate conduits and rune lines. The life support pod was moved to the center, where Sanji lay peacefully. The dragon-shaped mark between his eyebrows was much clearer than before, and it glowed faintly as the fragment of the source approached.
Luffy, Ace, Sabo, Jinbe, Nami, Franky, and others gathered around, their breathing unconsciously becoming softer. All eyes were focused on the dangerous energy crystal and Sanji.
"This process is extremely dangerous." Law's voice was hoarse and serious as he explained while rapidly adjusting the equipment, " The Destruction Origin is fundamentally opposed to Allen's Spacetime Brand. I need to use the power of the Op-Op Fruit, like the most precise Scalpel, to 'tame' and 'transform' it, stripping away the pure will to destroy, retaining only the most primal ' Void ' energy as the cornerstone for reshaping Allen's existence. Then, I will guide this energy into Sanji's consciousness, combining it with Allen's Dragon Soul Imprint."
He looked at everyone, his eyes grave. "Any mistake, whether it's energy going out of control or a conflict of wills, could cause Sanji's consciousness to collapse, or Allen's mark to be corrupted, or even devoured. We only have one chance."
"What do you need us to do?" Sabo asked in a deep voice.
"Keep him calm." Law pointed at Sanji. "Both physically and mentally. This process will be extremely painful. Even while he's unconscious, his body and soul will Resistance with fierce instinct. Luffy, Ace, use your Haki to help stabilize his physical condition. Sabo, Jinbe, use your willpower to help me calm any potential mental fluctuations he might experience. Nami, Franky, keep all equipment stable; energy output must be absolutely precise!"
"Understood!" everyone responded in unison, and immediately took their positions.
Luffy and Ace placed their hands on the life support pod, their top-tier Armament Haki gently enveloping Sanji's body like the most flexible net. Sabo and Jinbe closed their eyes and concentrated, their powerful willpower forming an invisible barrier protecting the outer edge of Sanji's consciousness. Nami and Franky stared intently at the control panel, ensuring that every parameter was perfectly accurate.
Luo took a deep breath, covered the energy stabilizer with both hands, and activated the full power of the Op-Op Fruit!
"K·ROOM·Pure Forged!"
Buzz--!
The dark red crystal in the stabilizer trembled violently. The unsettling crimson light on its surface began to peel away and dissipate, and the pure, utterly Void essence within was gradually extracted, transforming into a Chaos energy flow that seemed to encompass and end everything. Veins bulged on Luo's forehead, and sweat dripped down his face. This was an unprecedented test of his mental strength and self-control.
At the same time, Sanji's body began to tremble violently! Even in a deep coma and a state of time stagnation, the approaching primal energy still triggered his life-saving instincts of fear! The life support pod sounded an alarm, and his vital signs began to fluctuate erratically!
"Hold on!" Luo growled.
Luffy and Ace immediately increased their Haki output, forcibly suppressing Sanji's body spasms. Sabo and Jinbe's willpower barriers also felt a huge impact, as if countless malicious whispers were trying to penetrate them.
"Now!" Law seized the opportunity and guided the stream of Chaos energy that had been partially refined through the conduit, slowly injecting it into Sanji's brow and into the Dragon Soul Imprint!
boom--!!!
A deafening roar, as if the Creation of Heaven and Earth, exploded in everyone's consciousness!
Sanji's body arched violently, his eyes snapping open for a split second, filled with pain and Chaos! The Dragon Soul Imprint between his brows erupted with unprecedented light, silver-purple and Chaos colors intertwining, clashing, and merging wildly!
A vast and ancient dragon's might, mixed with newly formed spatial fluctuations, roared outwards from Sanji! The screens of all the medical equipment in the center instantly filled with static, and the lights flickered erratically!
" Sanji!"
" Allen!"
Everyone gasped in surprise, but no one dared to make a move. They could only follow Luo's instructions and desperately maintain the stability.
At the core of that light, deep within Sanji's consciousness, a cataclysmic change was taking place.
The Chaos primordial energy, like a raging torrent, swept away everything. The silver-purple Dragon Soul Imprint, like a flickering candle in the wind, was incredibly resilient. It no longer resisted, but began to actively and greedily absorb this energy, which was of the same origin but different nature! With each ounce absorbed, the mark solidified and its light shone even brighter!
That was no longer a simple restoration, but... a rebirth!
The shattered Laws of Space and Time are reconstructed and reassembled on the " Void " foundation of Destruction Origin! Fragments of Allen's will are forcibly recalled and gathered from every corner of Sanji's sea of consciousness, from the resonance with the remaining imprints of the distant rift!
A blurry, dragon-shaped phantom, composed of light and shadow, slowly condensed and took shape in Sanji's sea of consciousness, at the center of that Chaos energy!
Outside, Sanji's trembling gradually subsided, replaced by a deep and majestic calm. The Dragon Soul Imprint between his brows no longer flickered, but instead steadily emitted a soft and profound silver-purple light. The shape of the mark became more complex and mysterious, as if it had come to life.
The data in the life support pod began to improve miraculously! Not the healing of injuries, but some kind of essential... sublimation!
Luo stared intently at the changes in the energy flow until the last wisp of Chaos energy was completely absorbed and the Dragon Soul Imprint stabilized completely. He abruptly cut off the energy transmission, collapsing backward as if exhausted, only to be caught by Jinbe.
"Did... did it succeed?" Nami asked in a trembling voice.
Everyone held their breath and looked at the life support pod.
Inside the cabin, Sanji remained unconscious, but his complexion was no longer ashen; instead, it glowed with a luminous sheen. The terrifying piercing wound on his chest, which had been "frozen" by the power of spacetime, began to emit a faint silver-purple light at its edges. The erosion of the will to destroy had been completely suppressed and purified, and the wound was healing slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Even more astonishingly, a tiny, solidified phantom of Torch Dragon, like a guardian spirit, flew out from the mark between Sanji's eyebrows, circled his body once, then affectionately rubbed against the glass of the life support pod before turning into specks of starlight and disappearing back into the mark.
At the same time, a faint yet incredibly clear soul fluctuation, tinged with a hint of bewilderment and weariness, was transmitted through the Dragon Soul Imprint to the hearts of everyone present:
"... Everyone...?"
It's Allen's voice!!!
" Allen!!!" Luffy and Ace were the first to rush to the life support pod, their rubber faces and Fire Fist almost pressed against the glass, tears of ecstasy streaming down their faces.
"It's a success! It's a real success!" Sabo breathed a heavy sigh of relief, a smile of immense relief spreading across his face.
Nami and Franky embraced, weeping with joy. Jinbe, supporting the weakened Law, also felt a surge of relief in his eyes.
The dragon's soul reignites, the heroes return!
Portgas D. Allen, fueled by the Destruction Origin and nurtured by the body of his dearest friend, achieved a miraculous rebirth and resurrection atop the ruins of the End!
Although his body has not been fully reconstructed and the connection between his soul and Sanji still needs time to be straightened out, his will has already awakened and his dragon soul has returned to its rightful place!
His legend has turned a new page! And the allied forces have finally welcomed back their strongest master of time and space! The final victory has ushered in the most crucial dawn!
