Luo Chen manipulated the golden longsword to shrink, maintaining it at a length of a thousand meters.
The Dark God breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing this, Luo Chen sneered, "Don't celebrate just yet."
He unleashed a torrential sword intent, condensing the rules of his Limit-Breaking Sword Art upon the golden longsword.
The space around the golden longsword shattered instantly.
Those spatial fragments did not merge into the chaotic void; instead, they hung frozen in mid-air.
Time itself had come to a standstill around the golden longsword.
In that moment, "Davy D. Jones"'s expression shifted drastically, staring at the golden longsword in utter disbelief.
The aura emanating from the blade made the Dark God feel a threat to his very essence.
He had a premonition—he would undoubtedly be slain.
Luo Chen held nothing back, condensing numerous methods into a single strike.
He sought to eliminate the enemy in one fell swoop.
He would never allow Imu and the Dark God to survive another day.
Armament Haki, Conqueror's Haki, Limit-Breaking Sword Art, the destructive power of Kamui...
"Overlord's Fate."
"Affecting the Future."
The "must-hit" characteristic of Overlord's Fate.
The causal lock of Affecting the Future.
Against this sword, the Dark God had nowhere to run.
Without a word of nonsense, Luo Chen swung the golden longsword down.
The Dark God roared in unwilling fury, unable to break free from the gravitational restraint, left with no choice but to wait for the golden longsword to strike.
Beside him, Imu's gaze was equally manic, his pitch-black, elongated form fluctuating violently.
No matter how they struggled, they could not escape their end.
The golden blade of light shattered the space and time along its path, freezing everything it broke.
With a faint sound of tearing, the golden longsword cut through the bodies of Imu and the Dark God.
The expressions on their faces froze; within the shattered space-time, their life force vanished instantly.
The form of "Davy D. Jones" manifested by the Dark God began to annihilate inch by inch from head to toe.
Every hair, every inch of skin, vanished into the fractured void like disintegrating particles.
The same happened to Imu.
Those crimson, multi-pupiled eyes lost their luster.
Particle annihilation began from the top of his elongated, pitch-black head.
The two monarchs who had ruled the world for eight hundred years were erased today like figures wiped from a canvas, annihilating inch by inch until they finally disappeared completely.
The Dark God and Imu were gone.
Only a patch of deep gray space remained.
As Luo Chen dispelled the golden longsword, the chaotic currents began to surge within the deep gray space where time had been frozen.
The world began to repair the damaged space on its own.
Luo Chen used his spatial power to help accelerate the restoration.
A moment later, the space was restored to its original state, leaving no trace of damage.
He gazed down at the ink-black sea below and withdrew his Armament Haki.
The pitch-black color in the seawater receded like a tide, gathering toward the Susanoo.
Soon, the waters of the Totto Land sea returned to their normal azure blue.
Luo Chen collected the remains and limbs of the nearly one hundred thousand Sea Kings, placing them within the Kamui space.
Before long, he could use Impure World Reincarnation on the Sea Kings, making them serve the Jinghai Army.
"Th-This Lord, may I ask what happened?"
"Why... am I here?"
Inside the palm of the Susanoo, Shirahoshi asked timidly.
She was somewhat afraid, not daring to meet Luo Chen's eyes after asking.
Yet, the confusion in her heart made Shirahoshi desperate for an answer.
"Come with me first." Luo Chen stepped out from the forehead of the Susanoo.
He signaled for the Susanoo to follow behind him.
"You are out of danger. Someone will explain the details to you shortly."
After offering a brief explanation, Luo Chen descended toward the Gran Tesoro below.
At this moment, atop the golden roof of the Gran Tesoro, Nami, Carina, Vivi, and Tesoro were all present.
"Fleet Admiral Luo Chen," Tesoro bowed respectfully.
The battle just now had thoroughly taught him the true meaning of the word "power."
One hundred thousand Sea Kings, the three Great Ancient Weapons, Imu, and the Dark God.
Such a terrifying force had been suppressed entirely by Luo Chen with ease.
Even after the battle, he wasn't flushed or breathless, bearing no injuries whatsoever.
It was an absolute slaughter.
Luo Chen gave a small smile and looked toward Nami and the others.
"None of you were injured in the chaos just now, were you?"
As he spoke, he was also sensing and judging their conditions.
If there were any injuries, he could use the power of Yin-Yang Release to restore them instantly.
Nami shook her head with a smile, her voice full of joy. "Are the Dark God and Imu dead?"
"Mhm. These two major threats have finally been eliminated."
Luo Chen nodded, his smile remaining.
He had wanted to kill those two for a long time.
Unfortunately, they possessed the Phantom House; when they hid, even Observation Haki could not detect them.
Today, they had delivered themselves to his doorstep—a truly joyous occasion.
With Imu and the Dark God removed, this world could finally be considered truly at peace.
The Jinghai Army was fully capable of maintaining order.
He could finally settle down and truly enjoy life.
Beside them, Carina and Vivi also wore joyful smiles.
They had all witnessed the power of the Dark God and Imu.
Terrifying existences akin to gods could only be dealt with by Luo Chen; only he had the strength to kill them.
Any ordinary person would be crushed like an ant upon meeting them.
Having such horrific killers roaming the world at will made it truly difficult to feel at ease.
However, from this day forward, there was no longer any need to be afraid.
After confirming that Imu and the Dark God were dealt with, everyone turned their gaze toward the female mermaid in the Susanoo's hand.
Nami asked in a low voice, "Is she the Ancient Weapon, Sea King Poseidon?"
"She's so beautiful," Carina marveled.
Shirahoshi's mermaid tail was curled as she sat sideways in the Susanoo's palm.
Her body, over ten meters tall, actually seemed petite and delicate at this moment.
Her long pink hair and her doll-like, flawless face easily evoked feelings of pity and affection in the girls' hearts.
Vivi blinked her bright eyes and said with envy, "They say the Mermaid Princess's appearance is not inferior to the Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock. They really are both so beautiful."
"Little girl, are you saying she is more beautiful than I?" A cold, haughty female voice suddenly rang out from behind.
Vivi was stunned and turned to look.
In the sky, the Empress Boa Hancock was arriving by treading on the air, already very close to her.
The words just now must have been overheard... Seeing the Empress's displeasure, Vivi quickly explained:
"No, I meant you are both very beautiful."
Hancock landed on the roof of the golden giant ship, glanced at her, and ignored her.
She walked quickly toward Luo Chen, her cold and exquisite face instantly becoming bashful and infatuated.
"You aren't injured, are you?"
Hancock fussed over Luo Chen with concern, acting like a devoted wife.
Seeing this, Vivi was stunned again.
Carina whispered a consolation, "Hancock is like that. Except for Luo Chen, she doesn't have a kind face for anyone."
She had met this Empress before at the Zhenhai Star Hub.
The woman had strutted past her as if she were roadside trash, without even sparing a glance.
One could say she was incredibly cold and proud.
Only when Luo Chen was present would Boa Hancock act like a different person, showing the demeanor of a smitten woman.
Vivi nodded, half-understanding. "It seems only Luo Chen is a worthy match for the Pirate Empress."
In terms of appearance, Boa Hancock and Shirahoshi absolutely outshone the crowd.
Vivi had seen many kingdom princesses and noble ladies.
Including herself, compared to Hancock and Shirahoshi, there was indeed a world of difference.
