If it weren't for the sharp pain in their chests that they subconsciously tried to use their abilities, they might have thought that Luffy had quickly eliminated the weird tentacle guy in the black mist.
"Hu~hu~"
Robin shook his head and showed a relaxed smile.
Not only her, but other espers on the ship can also use the fruit-producing ability. For example, Princess Mononoke Perona has been floating, but no one noticed it.
"I just wanted to try it, but I didn't expect it to work."
Robin smiled slightly mischievously, her eyes not leaving Nami in the sky.
She knows that the current situation is that as long as they work together to kill Im, and wait until Luffy solves his opponent in the black mist, they can truly defeat the World Government!
Im, there is no way out!
"good."
Im stood there, the ball on his chest was trembling continuously, and every time it trembled, Im's face became uglier.
"Give me some peace of mind!"
Im growled, and then forced the ball into his chest with both hands.
"Unexpectedly, apart from the boys from the Monqi family, there are people whose life levels have evolved. This was not what we expected. In other words, it is simply impossible for someone's life level to improve!
"
Looking at Nami in the sky, Im seemed to have given up taking action, letting Zoro and Sanji attack him while standing there and muttering to himself.
"When we saw the truth back then, one of us mastered the strongest ancient weapons, and the other integrated the most complicated and terrifying life forms. Our life levels have evolved, and no one in this world can be our opponent except the truth!
And the truth will no longer appear in this world!"
Listening to Imu's confused words, even the so-called "wise general" Warring States felt that he was confused.
He only felt that the suffocatingly strong Immu opposite him seemed to have turned into a magic stick, chattering non-stop!
Robin, who had a certain understanding of the blank hundred years, connected Im's words, and then remembered the historical text of Alabasta!
"You guys should be referring to you and that black fog monster."
"What on earth did you do eight hundred years ago! What happened in this world!"
Although they arrived at the Final Island, what was left on the Final Island were only some "countermeasures" and "big secret treasures", and there was no truth about eight hundred years ago.
Even the historical text has no record of what happened eight hundred years ago. Faced with Robin's question, Im remained silent for a moment, and then as if it didn't matter, he threw out a secret like a depth bomb!
"Eight hundred years ago, there was a huge kingdom on this red earth continent. Their strength and power were much more powerful than the world government I founded.
The world was originally very peaceful, but the king wanted to become immortal!
He knew that there was a special fruit in this world that could give people magical powers. People in the kingdom called it a secret treasure.
One of the secret treasures has the ability to make people immortal.
But even if someone eats that secret treasure and gains abilities, it will still take a lot of time to develop to make it immortal.
The king couldn't wait any longer, so he ordered people to study all the secret treasures and create a big secret treasure that could travel through time!
The daughter of the captain of the kingdom's guard ate the secret treasure and traveled through time with the king's order.
Originally, the king wanted to have the chief guard's daughter travel back a few years to bring the doctor who could perform immortal surgery back to the original era.
But tragedy happened.
Something went wrong with the time treasure, and the princess didn't come back.
What is coming is the truth!
The truth that comes with destruction!
The king who was powerful enough to wield three ancient weapons disappeared overnight, and everyone in the palace disappeared.
Only the word "Shadow" written on the blood stains on the ground seemed to tell the story of the murder that had happened in the palace.
The world is in turmoil, as if something is constantly hunting people in the world, especially the top strong ones.
Then there was boundless fear, and countless people disappeared into the shadows. This time lasted for decades.
I had seen the true face of that shadow. At that moment, there seemed to be countless more knowledge in my mind, although I didn't know what that knowledge represented.
I led nineteen kings who did not want to die, and one king who wanted to save the country, to the Red Earth Continent, and personally destroyed the kingdom that had become silent.
On top of the ruins, he and another guy who witnessed the truth of the 'shadow' established a world government.
'Truth' also disappeared when the World Government announced its establishment and decided to erase it for a hundred years.
And the reason why we don’t want people to study ancient history is because the historical text left by the people of that kingdom has the possibility of summoning the ‘truth’ again!”
Im's tone was very calm, as if he was telling a story that had nothing to do with him.
The battlefield fell into silence. Whether it was Robin who had a certain understanding of the Hundred Years' Blank, or people like Smoker who didn't understand it at all, they all seemed to feel that they were being targeted by something!
"I······"
Akainu took a deep breath and was about to speak, but he looked at his chest in surprise.
There, hot lava flows!
Robin and others also showed charming smiles to the black mist on another battlefield.
"Truth? The Hound of Tindalos, which can travel through time and space at will, and devour people with malice from dark corners, can indeed give you a sense of truth. It's a pity that for Luffy, who has transcended the level of life in this world,
Say, the hounds of Yandaros are nothing but dust!”
Hermione raised her hand, and a wand appeared in her palm.
To her, the so-called Yandalos hound is just a small thing that can be destroyed easily, but to the low-latitude world, it is an irresistible divine power.
If you want to fight against it, you must have strong enough spiritual power.
In any world, there is power beyond the current dimension.
In the real world, the powers that can surpass the limits of human beings are probably words such as time, space, life and death, love, and faith that can only be spoken with the mouth.
After Luffy obtained the Great Secret Treasure and became the Pirate King, his faith had reached its peak. After experiencing the baptism of power left by the huge kingdom, he also understood life and death. With this increase in power, he could not deal with the little Yanda.
The Ross Hound is at your fingertips!
······
······
In the black mist shrouding the holy land of Mariejoia, Luffy carefully looked at the creatures in front of him.
To be precise, it is a dwarf tree.
He is not tall, only three or four meters tall, but his tree roots are very developed!
The roots of the tree, which are thirty to forty meters long, are like tentacles, making people's scalp numb when they see them.
【······】
【How did you...your life...life...level of life...improve...】
The obscure language rang in Luffy's mind. Miraculously, Luffy could actually understand it!
"Level of life?"
Luffy squinted his eyes. In the black mist, although his sight couldn't extend too far, he could still see a little bit of the situation outside.
Im's side has been blocked by Nami and the others, so they have a little time to argue with the guy in front of him who can't even say anything!
"That's how it improved."
When Luffy's answer came out, the roots of the short tree were like the tentacles of a crazy king squid, constantly twisting and twitching.
【No...can't...can!】
Although there were only three words, Luffy could hear the anger, jealousy and even a trace of doubt in the bush?
[I... we... saw the 'truth' back then, and then we barely... barely managed to raise our level of life. 】
As if he was speaking smoothly, Dwarf Shu no longer stuttered, but his tone was still full of contempt.
[How can you, a low-level reptile...how can you possibly see...the 'truth'!】
Luffy looked at the short tree and remained silent for a long time.
This guy seems to be very concerned about his and Im's so-called improvement in life level?
And what exactly is the ‘truth’ it mentions many times?
Luffy also has a vague explanation for the word truth.
Although he didn't like reading, he had been on the ship for a long time, and with Hermione and Robin, two knowledgeable people by his side, often discussing literary issues, he even listened to some general ideas.
Whatever you cannot understand but is actually happening before your eyes, you can use 'truth' instead.
Once you come into contact with the ‘truth’, your strange knowledge, knowledge, and imagination will increase a lot!
For example, Newton, the genius "scientist" whom Hermione once mentioned, seemed to be guided by the truth that "the apple must fall" to what kind of law of universal gravitation?
This world itself is ridiculously fantastic, and if there really is any 'truth', it wouldn't be so strange.
Just like among the three ancient weapons, except for Pluto, which has some scientific basis, the others are purely nonsense!
Can Neptune control all Neptune species?
Can the King of Heaven control the climate of the world?
【Are you...doubtful about the ‘truth’? 】
As if he didn't really want to fight with Luffy, the short tree never launched an attack. Instead, he kept chatting with Luffy.
After mentioning the truth again, Luffy found that its tone became fanatical.
At the same time, the black mist around it became thicker, and the color of knowledge that had been released outside was suppressed to the point where it was almost impossible to leave the body!
"Can you talk to me about the 'truth' in your words? I am indeed a little curious."
Luffy glanced at Im, who was outside and was being beaten violently by Sanji and Zoro. Although he wanted to resist, he was defeated by his friends, which made Luffy very satisfied.
['Truth' first appeared nine hundred years ago in the ancient kingdom... I'm sorry, it's been so long that I can't remember the name of that kingdom. After all, I hadn't had a spirit at that time.
wisdom.
The first time I saw "truth" was when it was chasing a prisoner, a prisoner who messed up time and space at will. In the darkness of my tree roots, I felt the existence of something, but I couldn't see it.
That person in front of me was gradually swallowed up by the "truth". I still didn't see the "truth", but at that moment I developed spiritual wisdom and gained many insights.
My fruit can produce strange abilities in people, which became more prominent after I gained knowledge.
The second time I saw the ‘truth’ was in the Red Earth Continent. I don’t know why I came here, but a person who had also seen the ‘truth’ invited me to build a country to search for the ‘truth’.
I agreed, and the world government was established.
‘Truth’ also showed its face to us. In just a moment, the energy in my body could not be suppressed. I could only rely on sleep to suppress the violent energy in my body. Just like me, there was that person.
However, he took advantage of my fruit power and reached the same state of immortality as me.
We have been searching for "truth" for eight hundred years, but "truth" has never appeared again.】
The short tree talked for a long time, but most of it was nonsense.
Luffy frowned. If he extracted the main part of the sentence correctly, there were only three important pieces of information in this long paragraph!
The so-called "truth" is to execute people who manipulate time and space at will. The most representative one should be the "Mrs. Time" who appeared in the original work without many scenes.
The second point is that Im invited the dwarf tree, the devil fruit tree, to establish a world government on the Red Earth Continent. At that time, the huge kingdom should have been destroyed.
The third point is that ‘truth’ can lead to a surge in energy and an improvement in the level of life.
After thinking about it, Luffy suddenly realized how this looks so much like Hermione!
The level of life is also improving, and my understanding of domineering is no longer able to be described in words. The Devil Fruit Tree's admiration for me, Im's doubts...
"The so-called 'truth' is a life form that does not exist in our dimension and is higher than ours, just like looking at paintings on paper! If I am right about the 'truth' in your mouth, it should like to attack people from the shadows.
Hounds of Dalos!"
Just when Luffy was confused, Hermione suddenly walked into the black mist.
Even though Luffy was watching, she was still out there?
Arrogant! How dare you call the name of ‘truth’!]
The black mist shook rapidly, as if it was the end of the world, and dozens of root tentacles sealed the space around Morn like giant pythons!
【Use your life to pray for the forgiveness of ‘truth’! 】
Looking at the crazy tentacles around her, a slight smile appeared on Hermione's lips. She just raised her hand, and a phoenix's cry sounded in the dark mist.
Phew!
The scream that could freeze the soul spread in the black mist, and for just a moment, the black mist stopped.
