"Time Demon God's Wind Kick - Nika Holy Fire Judgment!!!"

That kick landed with a terrifying temperature capable of melting mountains and boiling seas!

boom--!!!

The sandworm's body was pierced through by the kick, and countless pieces of flesh and slime exploded in the air. A final, mournful screech came from its huge ring-shaped mouthparts before it turned into charcoal and fell to the ground.

"We're done for." Sanji landed, dusted off his pants, and took a drag of his cigarette. "Even grilling can't save the smell?"

"So much protein, what a waste..."

The remaining two of the Five Elders—Vocuri Saint in his Sealed Boar form and Nasshoulang Saint in his Horse Bone form—both showed unprecedented fear upon seeing this scene.

"How could this be...they...just like that..."

"Damn it! What kind of monsters are these?!"

Luffy and his two companions stood together, their eyes fixed on the last two of the Five Elders.

"Hey, Zoro, Sanji—" Luffy grinned, "How are we going to divide the remaining two?"

"One for each of us," Zoro said calmly.

"That's settled then." Sanji stubbed out his cigarette. "Let's finish this quickly, we still need to help V."

Luffy nodded, a sharp glint in his eyes: "Then—let's go!"

Three white figures vanished from the spot once again!

Chapter 272 The Final Battle (The End)

With a roar, Sacred Vochuli's body suddenly swelled in his Boar form, his enormous fangs gleaming like scimitars. He took a step, and the earth trembled violently.

"You damned pirates..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Luffy's figure had already appeared in front of him!

"Gum-Gum-Gum—" Luffy raised his right fist high, pure white light condensing on his fist and shining as brightly as the sun, "White Sun God Break!"

That punch landed, simple and unadorned, yet it contained the power to shatter everything!

boom--!!!

The body of the sacred boar, Vocuri, exploded instantly, like a watermelon struck by a giant hammer!

"The third one."

Luffy withdrew his fist and turned to look at the other side.

At this moment, Sanji's figure had already appeared in front of Nasujuro Sei's horse bone form.

The horse bones, floating in the air like ghosts, made a crisp sound as if stepping on dry bones as they trod on the air, while the eerie blue flames burning in their eye sockets wavered slightly.

"The taste of death?" Sanji sneered. "Then today I'll let you taste what true death is!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Sanji's body spun rapidly in the air, his legs glowing red like burning flames, the pure white light of Nika form perfectly merging with the flames.

"Time Demon God's Wind Kick - Ultimate Paradise!"

That kick was like a shooting star streaking across the night sky!

Nasujiro attempted to dodge, but discovered that Sanji's speed had already exceeded his reaction limits—

boom!!!

The horse's body was completely shattered under that kick, turning into countless pale fragments that scattered across the ruins like a rain of bones.

"Solved." Luffy grinned and clapped his hands. "The Five Elders are all wiped out!"

In the distance, V, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Im, sensed the disappearance of the Five Elders' aura and a satisfied smile appeared on his lips.

"Well done, Luffy and the others."

Im's gaze sharpened slightly, a barely perceptible ripple flashing in his abyssal eyes: "The Five Elders... are all wiped out?"

“That’s right.” V’s figure hovered in the air, pure white light radiating from his body. “Im, all your minions have fallen.”

"Next—you're the only one left."

V raised his finger and pointed at Im, his voice like a divine pronouncement:

"It's time to end this, Im."

"This 800-year-old farce—it's time to come to an end!"

V's voice, like a divine pronouncement, echoed over the ruins of Mary Geoise.

A cold glint flashed in Im's black hole-like eyes. He slowly raised his hand, and endless black flames once again erupted from his body, condensing behind him into a demonic phantom that was a hundred meters tall.

The phantom opened its blood-red maw and let out a silent roar, causing the entire space to tremble, as if even dimensions could not withstand this power.

“Eight hundred years of rule…” Im’s voice became hoarse and low, carrying an ancient and desolate echo, “Do you think you, a young pirate like you, can break it?”

“You underestimate this world, V.”

The moment the words fell, the demonic phantom behind Im suddenly expanded, its pitch-black body almost obscuring the entire sky!

The night sky above Mary Geoise was plunged into complete darkness at that moment—not ordinary darkness, but an absolute nothingness that seemed capable of devouring all existence, from which even light could not escape.

On the battlefield, everyone involuntarily raised their heads, staring at the apocalyptic demonic phantom, a surge of uncontrollable fear rising in their hearts.

"What...what kind of power is this?" Sabo's voice trembled like never before, and he didn't even notice the cigar slipping from the corner of his mouth.

The dragon narrowed his eyes, his green cloak billowing in the wind, his voice heavy with seriousness: "Im... is this your true trump card?"

Meanwhile, Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji had already defeated the last of the Five Elders and arrived at V's side.

"V!" Luffy stood beside V, his gaze fixed firmly on the demonic phantom. "This guy... is stronger than I imagined!"

“But—” Zoro slowly drew his three swords, a cold smile playing on his lips, “we’re not pushovers either.”

Sanji lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said sharply, "There's still a chance of winning against a group of people.

V shook his head, a meaningful smile playing on his lips: "No, I can handle this battle alone."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Luffy and the other two, his voice carrying a rare hint of gentleness: "You've done enough. Now—leave the rest to me."

"But—" Luffy wanted to say something more.

V raised her hand to stop him: "Trust me."

His voice was calm, yet carried an undeniable firmness.

"I'm not... the same person I was when I first set sail!"

Luffy opened his mouth, then finally grinned and said, "Okay! I believe you!"

"Then we'll just watch from the sidelines. If you can't hold on any longer, I'll take you off immediately!"

V nodded, turned to face Im, and took a deep breath.

"Come on, Im—"

"The true end has come!"

The moment the words left his mouth, V's body once again burst forth with a dazzling pure white light!

The light was more intense and purer than before, as if it did not emanate from V's body, but rather V himself had transformed into the embodiment of light.

In his left eye, the flames transformed into a crimson sun; in his right eye, the thunder transformed into a silvery-white moon.

The two forces intertwined and merged within him, ultimately transforming into an existence that transcended everything.

That is the primordial power of this world, the foundation of all existence, the ultimate unity of creation and destruction, and the root of the birth of Devil Fruit abilities!

The single willpower is formed by the convergence of the souls, thoughts, and actions of all living beings!

“This is…” For the first time, genuine shock appeared in Im’s black hole eyes. “This power… how is this possible? How could you possibly wield this power?!”

V's voice came from within the light, calm and distant, as if from the end of time:

"This is—my trump card—"

Tenth-Order Prosthetic Body - Unique Willpower!

This is the strongest cybernetic body created by V by fusing hundreds of demon badges!

It represents the will of everyone in this world.

Thoughts have weight.

The thoughts of one person, ten people, or a hundred people may be insignificant.

But when the thoughts of all living beings in the world are guided by the prosthetic body and converge on one body...

That is the power of the gods!

The pure white light surrounding V suddenly expanded, transforming him into a pillar of light that shot straight into the sky!

The light pierced through the absolute darkness created by the phantom of the Im demon, tearing a huge gap in the darkness like a sharp sword.

A chilling killing intent flashed in Im's black hole eyes. The demonic phantom behind him roared suddenly, and endless black flames swept towards V like a tsunami!

"How dare a mere mortal attempt to touch the realm of the gods!"

V's figure slowly rose in the pillar of light. His eyes had turned completely pure white, and the flames and lightning in his left and right eyes merged completely, transforming into a vast sea of ​​stars.

He raised his right hand, fingers spread wide—

"god?"

His voice was calm as still water, yet it carried an echo that transcended time and space:

"You are nothing but a thief who stole eight hundred years of the world's time."

"Today—it should be returned to its rightful owner!"

The moment the words left his mouth, V's hand clenched tightly!

In an instant, an invisible ripple spread outwards from the center of V.

Wherever the ripples passed, the darkness of Im melted away like ice and snow, and the demonic phantom let out a painful howl, its massive body beginning to tremble violently.

"No... Impossible!!!" For the first time, genuine panic appeared in Im's voice. "This power... How could this power be..."

“You are merely its custodian, not its master.” V’s voice came from the sky, like a divine pronouncement. “For eight hundred years, you have used it to oppress, enslave, and destroy—yet you have never truly understood its essence.”
