"This...is this the power of God?" Loki, who had transformed into a black dragon, was blown away by the aftershocks of the battle. He quickly returned to his giant form, knelt on the ground, supported himself with his hands, and struggled to raise his head, his eyes filled with awe and fanaticism.

"Just how strong is V now?" Ace muttered to himself, flames dancing around his body, yet unable to dispel the oppressive feeling emanating from the depths of his soul.

"Is this... the power he wants to change the world?" Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, stood at the edge of the battlefield, his gaze fixed solemnly on the area where light and darkness intertwined.

For a long, long time.

The light faded, and the darkness receded.

In the center of the battlefield, a giant crater with a diameter of over a kilometer appeared—the crater was bottomless and its edges were as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been directly erased by some extreme force.

At the edge of the pit, V and Im stood facing each other.

Chapter 271 The Final Battle (Part 3)

V's Nika form had dimmed somewhat, the pure white light had become weak, his breathing was rapid, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Even after consuming a large number of trading points and pushing all the demon badges and cybernetic bodies on his body to the ninth tier, it was still somewhat difficult to unleash an attack of this magnitude.

Good thing...

V still has a backup plan.

The energy pump stored in the control room was injected into his body remotely, bringing V's condition back to its peak.

Knowing full well that the enemy was strong, he certainly wouldn't fight a battle unprepared.

Meanwhile, the mist that had shrouded Im had completely dissipated, and his true appearance was now revealed to all living beings eight hundred years later.

He was a man with dark brown skin, delicate and aloof features, as perfect as a sculpture.

His eyes were like two black holes, swallowing up all the light around him.

His body was tall and elegant, dressed in a black robe with ancient patterns embroidered on the hem, as if telling the story of eight hundred years of history.

But at this moment, a trickle of blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth.

“You… are injured.” V looked at the bloodstains at the corner of Im’s mouth and a smile appeared on his lips. “Looks like you’re not completely invincible after all.”

Im raised his hand and gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. A cold killing intent flashed in his dark, hole-like eyes.

“You…are indeed very strong.” Im’s voice returned to calm, but with an added chill. “Strong enough that I have to take you seriously.”

"Since that's the case, then I'll show you my true power."

The moment the words left his mouth, Im's body began to undergo a dramatic change!

Dense black runes appeared on his skin, moving about as if they were alive, emitting a low hum.

His body began to swell, his muscles bulging wildly as if inflated, and his bones crackling with a teeth-grinding sound.

Behind him, a pair of pitch-black wings that blotted out the sky suddenly unfolded, with a wingspan of over a hundred meters, and the air currents they created swept the surrounding ruins and rubble into the sky.

What's most terrifying is that a pair of long, curved black horns have grown from the top of his head, their tips gleaming with a dark red light, like a demon king from the depths of hell!

"This is...my true form—" Im's voice became deafeningly loud, each word carrying a soul-chilling pressure:

"—Lord of the World!"

Looking at the demon-like monster before him, V felt no fear, but instead, his eyes burned with an even more intense fighting spirit.

"Hahaha!" he laughed, his body once again bursting forth with dazzling pure white light. "That's more like it!"

"Only this way is worthy of this final battle!!!"

He pointed at Im, his voice echoing across the battlefield like thunder:

"Come on, Im—"

"Let me see where the limits of this world are!"

boom!!!

The two figures collided several times in mid-air.

Every collision was like a star exploding, every clash caused the earth to tremble.

V's fist was imbued with thunder and flames, each strike carrying a terrifying power capable of tearing space apart.

Im's black flames devoured everything like an abyss, and each attack distorted the void.

"Star Dragon Roar!" V unleashed both fists simultaneously, lightning and flames coalescing into two enormous pillars of light on his fists, roaring like two giant dragons as they charged toward Im.

A hint of seriousness flashed in Im's eyes. He clasped his hands together, and endless black flames condensed into a massive barrier before him—

boom--!!!

The collision of light and darkness once again unleashed a devastating energy, causing the entire Mary Geoise to tremble violently, as if the land could no longer withstand the lingering effects of the battle.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield...

Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji recovered from the shock and fixed their gazes on their respective opponents, their fighting spirit burning like flames.

"Hey, hey, hey, V's got a really heated battle going on!" Luffy grinned, clenching his fists. "It's time we got serious!"

“Just what I wanted.” Zoro slowly drew his three swords, the blades gleaming with pure white light in Nikka form. “I can’t let V steal all the limelight.”

Sanji lit a new cigarette, took a deep drag, and a sharp glint flashed in his eyes: "Let's finish this quickly."

The three exchanged a glance—

The next second, three bright white figures vanished from their spot!

Just as Grimm's Typhon form had regained its footing, its six arms brandishing different weapons, it was about to launch another attack—

However, Luffy's figure appeared before him like a ghost.

"Gum-Gum—" Luffy's right arm suddenly swelled, a pure white fist imbued with Conqueror's Haki, crashing down like a meteor, "White Monkey God: Raging Waves!!!"

boom!!!

The fists rained down like a storm, each strike containing terrifying power capable of shattering mountains and splitting rocks. Grimm's three faces simultaneously revealed horror, his six arms flailing wildly in an attempt to withstand the ferocious onslaught.

however--

"It's not over yet!!!"

Luffy's figure weaved through the dust and smoke, his body stretching and twisting like a rubber band, each punch carrying even more terrifying power.

"Rubber Rubber - White Serpent!"

Luffy unleashed both arms simultaneously, two giant, python-like fist shadows swirling with Conqueror's Haki, striking directly at Grimm's chest!

BOOM—!!

Grimm's body flew backward like a cannonball, crashing through several ruins before finally embedding itself in a broken city wall.

His three faces were filled with disbelief—

"What...what kind of power is this...?"

"This is just the beginning!" Luffy appeared before him, his right hand raised high, pure white light gathering on his fist. "Gum-Gum—White Sun God Punishment!"

That punch landed as if the sun had fallen!

boom--!!!

In a corner unnoticed by anyone, the sun god's light shone upon the deep-sea covenant of the ancient saint Grimm.

The pact that symbolized immortality and power vanished instantly under Nika's power.

And Grimm's Typhon form also completely collapsed under this power.

However, just as he was waiting for his body to be reborn and reassembled, he was shocked to find that the familiar endless life had failed at this moment.

Before he could utter a sound, the enormous body collapsed like a shattered stone statue, turning into countless black fragments that dissipated into the air.

the other side.

Zoro's figure moved around Mazsaim like a blood-red storm.

In its Itsumade form, Mazsa's wings flapped wildly, and its snake tail whipped through the air, leaving afterimages as it tried to track Zoro's movements.

"Your speed... how could it be so fast?!" Maz Saint's voice was filled with undisguised terror.

"Almost there?" Zoro suddenly appeared in front of him, a cold smile playing on his lips. "Compared to that lecherous cook, I'm practically crawling at a snail's pace!"

The moment he finished speaking, Zoro's body transformed once more—

The three-headed, six-armed god-demon form appeared, and the nine swords in its hands were simultaneously wrapped in dark Conqueror's Haki and the power of the Sun God.

"Demon Realm - Nine Swords Style—" Zoro's voice seemed to echo from the abyss, "Great Secret Technique - Three Thousand - Annihilation of Heaven and Earth!!!"

Nine sword lights flashed simultaneously!

That was not a simple slash, but a light like the beginning of the universe—each blade of light contained the power to tear through space, and each blade of light seemed to be able to sever cause and effect!

Mazsan's pupils dilated suddenly. He tried to dodge, but found himself completely unable to move.

A flash of light!

scoff-

Maz Saint's body froze in mid-air for a second, then turned into countless fragments, scattering like broken glass, shimmering with an eerie light under the moonlight.

Zoro sheathed his sword, his movements returned to normal, and he said softly, "One done."

The battlefield on the ground was arguably the most bizarre of all.

Piet Saint's sandworm form roamed underground, causing the earth to rise and crack, forming dangerous traps.

That enormous ring-shaped mouth was ready to burst forth from the ground at any moment and devour everything.

Sanji stood on a broken stone pillar, his right foot slamming into the ground—

"Time Demon God's Wind Kick - Shake the Realm!"

A terrifying power spread out from beneath Sanji's feet, causing ripples to spread across the ground like water.

Wherever the ripples passed, the ground cracked, rocks shattered, and even the soil deep underground was shaken and churned by this force!

Piet Saint let out a painful howl from underground. His body could not maintain its balance in the shockwave, and his massive body was forcibly shaken out of the ground!

"They're out!!!"

Sanji appeared in the air like lightning, his right leg raised high, burning with blazing flames. The pure white light in Nikka form intertwined with the flames, transforming into a dazzling pillar of light.
