One Piece: Nobody knows Devil Fruits better than me

Chapter 403 Blood of Freedom

Chapter 403 Blood of Freedom

Clearly, the changes that had occurred to Junzi could not be hidden from the people on the battlefield at this time—in fact, she had obviously never intended to hide it.

So at this moment, seeing Junko suddenly become like a demon, even Sengoku's expression changed drastically.

As someone who had also appeared at the Valley of the Gods in the past, Sengoku naturally knew very well.

Junko's current state is just like the situation in the legend of God Valley—the darkness behind the world has descended upon her.

But the problem is...

"Why now? What is Ike doing?!"

This was a question that lingered in the mind of the Warring States period.

But it is clear that this is in contrast to the Warring States period.

On the other side of the twelve zodiac signs, they know even more.

"Just like Wu Ma's guess."

For example, at this moment, Loki, who was holding the Iron Thunder, was using his abilities to sense the source energy of the bloodline factors around him.

That was the bloodline factor energy from the abyss magic array above the sky, preventing him from using the power of the Heavenly King to connect with the surrounding world.

"The power of the abyss permeates this sea area, and even sea kings cannot enter. He wants to completely lock down this area, making us trapped like turtles in a jar."

Bai Xing also closed her eyes and gently sensed the situation of the surrounding sea.

"Like turtles in a jar? So they intend to annihilate us all here?"

Upon hearing this, Jabba chimed in, "According to the 'information' determined by the twelve constellations, the Abyss can't do that right now, can it?"

As he finished speaking, the bear beside him adjusted his hat and looked at the "Ancient Coffin" in the sky, which was opposite the Esther, and the "shadows" inside the Ancient Coffin that were struggling to get out but were clearly unable to leave: "It's indeed impossible. Vegapunk has already researched some of the lineage factor technology. He said that all lineage factor creations need source energy to be used."

"Especially the 'Ancient Coffin,' which allows the dead to be resurrected, would require an astonishing amount of source energy to be used on a large scale to create an army. According to the information provided by Lord Wei Yang, the 'Abyss' cannot possibly possess that scale of source energy under its current constraints."

At this point, everyone present understood the meaning behind the words.

They were all members of the twelve constellations, or at least subordinates of them.

The twelve stars did not conceal their knowledge about bloodline factors and energy sources. According to them, knowing oneself and one's enemy is the first step to victory.

Therefore, they are very clear about the constraints imposed on the Abyss, and even what the Abyss can do now. In their eyes, that once mysterious god is no longer a mystery.

But that's where the problem lies.

Given Im's power after being bound, he clearly shouldn't have had the confidence or possibility of annihilating them here. However, Im still decisively had Shamlock activate this abyss magic circle to trap them here, and even commanded the ancient coffin to appear here. He even personally descended here.

so.

"Unless He is a fool, wasting his already limited power for nothing."

"Otherwise, He is relying on something."

The source of this reliance is not hard to guess.

Ultimately, the true meaning of this "public execution" remains unclear.

And sure enough, just the next moment...

"laugh!"

Accompanied by the sound of a blade piercing flesh.

Then everyone witnessed that incredible scene.

At that moment, Im, who had descended into Junzi's body, wielded the long sword burning with black flames and stood before Luffy.

He raised the blade, and then... the blade plunged down!

"Luffy!" N

The next moment, the Straw Hat crew and Ace, who was not far away, also had their eyes wide with rage.

At that moment, Im's sword instantly pierced Luffy's body, seemingly severing him completely!

"Ouch! That hurts, I'm going to die... Huh? It doesn't hurt!?"

Luffy let out a scream, but a moment later he was surprised to find that he felt no pain at all.

But instead, it was replaced by...

"Suddenly... I'm so sleepy, oh well... I'm out of energy..."

He felt as if the strength in his body was disappearing into thin air.

That's not an illusion.

In fact, everyone could see that as Im's blade pierced Luffy's body, Luffy's body instantly transformed into the pure white Nika form, as if resisting Im's power.

But that doesn't make any sense.

Because in just a moment, you could see Luffy's pure white ribbons and flame-like hair slowly dimming and even disappearing as if being absorbed.

Instead, the jet-black longsword, resembling the mouthparts of an insect, turned the pure white of Luffy's body black, transmitting it into Im... or rather, Junko's body.

"ah."

Then, Im let out a low sigh, like that of a prisoner who had been bound for many years and was finally freed.

"Joyboy."

His gaze fell upon Luffy's pure white form before him, his eyes filled with coldness and mockery: "A sinner who took away 'freedom' and robbed Mu of her power for eight hundred years."

"Even at a time like this, you still want to rebel against me?"

"But it doesn't matter—this time, even 'freedom' has no chance of escape."

"After all, this body belongs to a descendant of the Kingdom of Furidum, a child imbued with the 'blood of freedom.'"

"This body is... your own blood, Joy Boy."

He was recounting a great secret that belonged to eight hundred years ago.

In Im's eyes, malice and smugness were clearly visible: "Give it back to me, my 'freedom'."

The words fell.

From Im's body, the power that had been bound by countless iron chains seemed to have one of the locks broken at this moment.

"Buzz!"

A massive abyssal power, far exceeding any previous one, suddenly erupted at this moment.

"Buzz!"

The dark power emanating from the abyss array in the sky grew increasingly dense, almost completely sealing off the entire sea surface.

The pitch-black darkness, seemingly devouring everything and as deep as an abyss, surged into the bodies of the marines below in the next moment.

"Huh?"

"What is this...it hurts!"

"My body, my body is out of control... Ah!"

Soon, the navy men, who had been looking puzzled, let out a painful growl.

Their bodies began to swell, and their flesh began to change constantly, as if to transform them into another form.

Meanwhile...

"Buzz!"

Within the "Ancient Coffin" in the sky, countless dark figures were contained, trying to escape.

And in the next moment... he suddenly broke free from the ancient coffin.

Countless dark shadows fell into the bodies of the marines below, and then the changes in the flesh and blood of the marines became more and more violent.

Just moments later.

They transformed into one indifferent figure after another, completely different from before.

They were dressed either in old-fashioned naval uniforms, Celestial Dragons, or in the attire of ancient kingdoms.

They all bore the marks of injuries they had sustained in their past lives, and their faces bore the marks of absolute loyalty and indifference towards Im.

That is.

"Wake up."

"Within the ancient coffin, the soul controlled by Mu uses this human body as its vessel."

Im's voice, deep and resonant, echoed across the entire battlefield at that moment.

"Just like in the past."

"Team... to conquer this world once more."
