Chapter 176: Im is Furious
"How is it possible? Even Joy Boy is no match for [The Most Heinous Criminal]?"
"That's the legend who almost defeated the 20 [Kings]!"
The Five Elders and the Holy Knights were stunned!
Rono, who was originally at a slight disadvantage against Joy Boy, suddenly pierced through Joy Boy's Armament Haki!
This guy, what kind of monster is he!!
Is he constantly growing in battle?
Such talent is truly unheard of!!
"Gurarara! As expected of our captain!"
"Mere Joy Boy!"
In stark contrast to the Five Elders and the Holy Knights!
Were the legendary pirates like Whitebeard, Golden Lion, and Rayleigh!
At this moment, upon seeing this scene, the powerhouses of the God Slayer Pirates felt their morale skyrocket!
Even such a legendary powerhouse from eight hundred years ago was no match for Rono!
In the world, who else could stop Rono's footsteps?
The Celestial Dragons are doomed today!
"[The Most Heinous Criminal] Rono, to what extent have you grown?!"
"Even Joy Boy is being suppressed!"
Meanwhile, Im in the Holy Land Mary Geoise was also stunned.
Although this one blow was not enough to decide the winner, the change in Rono during the battle was enough to surprise even Im!
The living Joy Boy was a powerhouse even Im was wary of!
[The Most Heinous Criminal] could even suppress Joy Boy. How could this not shock Im!
Especially since Rono was originally at a disadvantage, yet suddenly erupted and suppressed Joy Boy!
Such a monstrous talent, unheard of in eight hundred years, made even Im's scalp tingle!
"Joy Boy, as a powerhouse from eight hundred years ago, you can't be this weak."
Rono looked down at Joy Boy on the ground and said condescendingly.
This one blow could not possibly defeat Joy Boy!
And after the battle with Joy Boy!
Rono was certain that the God-level Haki given by the system was not the highest level!
Above God-level, there was another level!
The continuous improvement of his three types of Haki was the best proof!
In any case, this was exciting news!
After all, the real mastermind, the King of the World who had ruled for eight hundred years, the immortal Im, had not yet appeared!
For eight hundred years, who knows what other means Im had!
Whether it was reviving the 19 [Kings] in God Valley!
Or now reviving Joy Boy, Rocks, and Roger!
All were enough to make Rono take the strength of this King of the World, Im, with two hundred percent seriousness!
Therefore, Rono had to improve his strength as soon as possible!
Right now, the only one who could make Rono's three types of Haki grow was Joy Boy!
Boom!
Sure enough, the next moment, Joy Boy stood up from the deep pit again!
Except for a deep scar on his chest that was cut by Rono, his aura had not diminished in the slightest!
Thud thud thud!
Joy Boy once again charged towards Rono like an arrow released from a bow!
Under the full release of his supreme Conqueror's Haki, wherever Joy Boy passed, it was as if Whitebeard had activated the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, everything shattered!

[Congratulations Host, successfully picked up God-level Armament Haki, current progress: 48.3%!]
[Congratulations Host, successfully picked up God-level Observation Haki, current progress: 49.9%!]
Continuous prompts came, and Rono was extremely excited!
Boom!
Another clash of fists and swordsmanship!
The powerful shockwave once again forced the Emperor-level powerhouses watching in Marineford to act to stop the spread of the aftermath!
"Useless! Your physical arts are no longer a match for me!"
Rono snorted coldly and slashed at Joy Boy's shoulder again!
Extremely violent Haki plus sharp sword intent!
Combined with the two devil powers of Strength and Shatter!
Joy Boy's Armament Haki was once again pierced by Rono, and one slash made Joy Boy's legs sink deep into the ground!
A terrifying bloody gash was also cut on his right shoulder!
Joy Boy also stretched out his two big hands, trying to grab Rono.
"Futile struggle!"
Rono said sternly, strengthening the force in his hands!
Rumble, rumble!
As if the ground was collapsing and mountains were being destroyed, Joy Boy was firmly held down by Rono, his body constantly sinking, until his entire body was submerged hundreds of meters into the ground!
"Knocked back again!"
"Could it be that [The Most Heinous Criminal]'s strength has already surpassed Joy Boy's?"
Facing this sudden scene, the Five Elders and the Holy Knights gasped!
Even Joy Boy is no longer Rono's opponent?
The current [The Most Heinous Criminal], even if the 19 [Kings] of 36 years ago were awakened, they would not be a match!
"Well fought! Captain Rono!"
"Kill this Joy Boy, and these Five Elders and the Holy Knights will all have to die!"
Whitebeard, Golden Lion, Rayleigh, Redfield, Bullet, Kaido, and other legendary great pirates were also extremely excited!
At the same time, a tear slid down the corner of their eyes!
After all, the appearance of Joy Boy this time was exactly the same as the awakening of the 19 [Kings] 36 years ago!
But the difference was that this time, they would not flee in panic like 36 years ago!
36 years have passed!
Joy Boy is no longer a match for Rono!
Boom!
Soon!
Joy Boy broke through the land of Marineford again and came to the ground!
Two terrifying bloody gashes on his body dripped continuously, and his aura had also declined from the peak state when he first appeared!
"Im, I know you're watching."
"If this is all you've got, you might as well commit suicide early!"
"Otherwise, you'd better show some real skills. Don't tell me you've lived for eight hundred years for nothing."
Rono also knew at this time that this little power was impossible to defeat Joy Boy.
And the Joy Boy in front of him was just a puppet. The one manipulating Joy Boy from behind was Im!
And Rono's Observation Haki could feel the vast and huge energy within Joy Boy's body!
This guy was definitely not just at the strength he had shown so far!
He had an even stronger killing move that he hadn't used yet!
"[The Most Heinous Criminal], extremely arrogant!"
Meanwhile, in the Holy Land Mary Geoise, on the Empty Throne, Im also heard Rono's words through Joy Boy's pupils, and anger rose from his heart!
In eight hundred years, no one had ever dared to speak to him like this!
In fact, Joy Boy did hide a terrifying killing move!
That one move was an ability that even the 20 [Kings] of that time, and even Im himself, felt fear!
For eight hundred years, Im still had lingering fears of the ability Joy Boy displayed in that world-shaking great war
