One Piece: Surrounded at Marineford? Just kidding!

Chapter 412: Im's Fury and Teasing

As the battle intensifies!

"Hahaha! That felt great! So satisfying!"

Roger's maniacal laughter tore through the thunder, and the "Ace" in his hand was wrapped in dark red Conqueror's Haki. He himself was a golden lightning bolt, leaving countless afterimages in the void.

"Divine Repellent - Chaos!"

Roger flicked his wrist, and the blade unleashed hundreds of strikes in a single second.

Each strike could cleave the island in two.

Golden slashes rained down like a storm, sealing off all of Im's escape routes.

"Roger, you bastard, get out of my way!"

Rocks' entire body is filled with dark energy, and any light that touches him will be swallowed up.

Then Rocks slammed his hands together.

Dark energy was compressed into high-density black spheres.

Like a shotgun, it blasted towards Im's double, Junko.

Faced with the siege of two pinnacles of the old era, Im also began to panic.

Her stand-in, "Junzi," had a face as cold as ice, and her spiraling longsword danced into an impenetrable curtain of light.

"Clang clang clang clang!"

The metallic crackling sounds blended together, and sparks rained down like raindrops.

Im blocked most of the attacks, but Roger's domineering aura made her hands go numb.

The dark gravity of Locus continued to pull on her body, slowing her movements down a beat.

"A bunch of... clueless insects!"

Im's eyes were filled with rage.

She's had enough.

As a queen who ruled the world for eight hundred years, she had never been forced to such a state.

"God's Domain - Annihilation Storm!"

Im suddenly stopped.

It stopped moving.

She ignored Roger and Rocks, letting the slashes tear through her divine robes.

She raised her left hand, and a dazzling purplish-black ball of light condensed in her palm.

The sphere of light seemed to contain a miniature black hole, radiating waves of destruction.

The surrounding space collapsed on a large scale.

The violent suction force brought Roger and Rocks to a standstill.

If this attack were unleashed, everything within a hundred miles would be reduced to atoms.

This is a world-destroying blow that only a "Heavenly King" could unleash.

"Go to hell!"

Im's face contorted as he prepared to smash the ball of light into the ground.

however.

Right at this moment.

"call out--"

A grayish-white finger gust of wind pierced through the violent energy field without warning.

It has neither earth-shattering momentum nor overwhelming pressure.

But that's all in the past.

Precisely eerie.

"puff."

A soft sound.

The finger strike accurately pierced Im's raised left wrist.

Shenmen acupoint.

Im felt a sudden numbness in his wrist, followed by excruciating pain.

The originally smooth flow of divine power was instantly cut off.

The "Annihilation Storm," which was halfway condensed, lost its energy and instantly became extremely unstable.

"Varied……?!"

Im's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

Before she could react, the ball of light in her hand dissipated on its own.

"Bang!"

The backlash energy exploded in her palm, greatly reduced in power, but it still left her hand a bloody mess, and she was shaken and staggered backward.

A devastating attack.

It turned into a ridiculous dud.

Im clutched his trembling wrist and abruptly turned his head.

There, Chen Ye was floating.

He crossed his arms, his wings of light and dark fluttering gently behind him, and a nonchalant smile on his face.

That look in his eyes wasn't at all looking at his opponent.

It's like watching a clown fail at a circus performance.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

Chen Ye shook his head. His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly pierced through the battlefield and reached everyone's ears.

"Roger, your angle was a bit off just now. It should have cut deeper. What's wrong, are you out of practice?"

Roger scratched his head and actually began to reflect.

"Oh? Really? I'll be more careful next time."

Chen Ye then looked to the other side.

"Lox, your dark power isn't compressed enough. Are you trying to devour her, or give her a massage? If you had concentrated that move just a little more, you would have pierced her left ribs already."

Rocks' face darkened, and he snorted coldly.

"Even though I don't want to be pointed at by Chen Ye, I'll still reply, 'I understand!'"

Despite saying that, the dark energy in his hand became even more profound and condensed in the next second.

This scene stunned Im.

The air on the battlefield seemed to freeze.

An unprecedented sense of absurdity welled up in Im's heart.

Who is she?

She is the mistress of the Void Throne.

It is the behind-the-scenes mastermind of the world government.

And now.

In this ultimate showdown that will determine the fate of the world.

That man named Chen Ye.

They're actually giving a live lesson?!

He didn't see himself as a formidable opponent who required his full effort.

What did he consider himself to be?

A sparring partner?

This is a disgrace.

Followed by.

This sense of humiliation instantly transformed into a raging inferno that consumed reason.

That was the ultimate humiliation of having one's proud self-esteem trampled into the mud and then crushed underfoot.

"you……"

"Are you... teasing me?!"

"Are you mocking the gods of this world?!"

The final roar was the howl of a demon crawling out of the abyss of hell.

The sound was filled with the shrieks of countless dead souls, shaking the surrounding space into pieces and even scattering the distant clouds.

Im's eyes instantly turned blood red.

The indifferent divinity is gone.

Instead, it was replaced by the most primal and insane killing intent.

Even eight hundred years ago, when she faced Joy Boy, she had never been treated with such disrespect!

Faced with Im's fury, Chen Ye simply shrugged indifferently, looking completely innocent.

"Oh, have we been discovered?"

Chen Ye's lips curled up, revealing a set of white teeth. His smile was so bright that it made you want to punch him in the face.

"I think these two old guys are a bit rusty, and their teamwork isn't quite there yet. You're tough and resilient, you're the perfect target. Let them warm you up and get back to their old form, isn't that making the most of you?"

At this point, Chen Ye paused, his tone becoming even more playful.

"As a god, you should have this much sense of contribution, right? After all, you've been in this position for eight hundred years, it's time for you to make some contribution to this world."

"I want you dead!!"

At this moment, the string of reason snapped completely.

Im completely went berserk.

She no longer cared whether the substitute named "Junzi" could withstand the excessive strain of divine power.

They no longer consider the rules and strategies of combat.

At that moment, she had only one thought in her mind.

Kill Chen Ye!

At all costs, we will tear this man who dared to blaspheme the divine to pieces!

"boom--!!"

A jet-black, destructive energy erupted from Im's body without reservation.

This is not ordinary Conqueror's Haki, nor is it simply a Devil Fruit ability.

Rather, it is the primordial divine power that combines the power of ancient curses and rules.

Centered on Im, this energy instantly formed a visible black ring-shaped shockwave that spread wildly in all directions.

The earth is groaning.

The sky trembled.

Roger and Rocks, who were preparing to get close again, were the first to be hit.

"Good heavens! This crazy woman's gone mad!"

Roger let out a strange cry and quickly held "Ace" across his chest, covering his entire body with Armament Haki without reservation.

"Bang!"

The enormous impact struck the blade, and Roger was sent flying like a cannonball, as if he had been hit head-on by a meteorite.

He tumbled dozens of times in the air, his feet creating a series of air bursts as he stepped into the void, before he could barely maintain his balance.

On the other side, Lox was also having a hard time.

Although his Dark Fruit could absorb damage, the energy was too enormous and violent, threatening to cause the dark space within his body to explode.

"puff!"

Lox groaned, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and was thrown back a thousand meters, the void beneath his feet shattering beneath his feet.

One outburst forced back two legendary pirates.

This is the true power of "God" in his rage.

However, Im didn't even glance at the two people who had been blasted away.

At this moment, she only had eyes for Chen Ye.

Im's hair was disheveled, and his divine robes had shattered in the energy burst, revealing skin covered with black divine patterns.

The divine runes writhed like living things, exuding a nauseatingly evil aura.

The spiraling longsword in her hand let out a mournful cry of unbearable strain before shattering into countless black lightning fragments.

"In the name of God, I offer this body as a sacrifice!"

Im formed hand seals, and the black lightning that filled the sky instantly reversed and merged into her body.

The next second, she merged with the lightning, transforming into a black aurora that pierced through the heavens and earth.

This aurora embodied all of Im's spiritual will, all of his divine power, and all of the life force of his substitute.

This was a self-sacrificing attack.

The speed was so fast that it transcended the boundaries of time, even the visions of the future that one could foresee with Observation Haki couldn't keep up.

Space lost its meaning in the face of this attack; distance was instantly erased.

"Tatsuba!!"

"Whether it's your original form or a substitute, today I will grind your soul to dust!!"
