Chapter 1251: The Era Accelerates! (10k) (End)

“Rubber Rubber: White Star Gun!!”

At that moment, Luffy leaped into the air, delivering a powerful punch that struck like lightning, “What are you rambling about! Let’s fight! White-haired guy!!”

The punch was so fast that it reached Sage’s side almost before Luffy could finish speaking.

This fierce and swift punch had proven effective even against Imu. One punch could deeply embed itself as it transformed the enemy’s form with the Sun God’s power, unleashing immense force.

Sage didn’t even look, merely extended a finger and flicked in the direction of the incoming punch.

“It’s best to listen before acting, Nika.”

Bang!

A shockwave spread from the gap between Sage’s finger and Luffy’s punch, forcibly rebounding the mighty but crafty Punch of Freedom.

“It doesn’t matter what it’s called, as long as it represents you.”

Sage looked at Luffy’s understandably stunned expression and laughed, “Isn’t it strange how your strength, free enough to attack at will, was easily deflected by me.”

He took two steps forward, “I am the demon of domination, and for the powers I hold, I naturally achieve perfect domination. Just as you can use so-called ‘hope’ to inspire others.”

“My entire foundation, my strongest combat techniques, can reach a level of domination. Any martial art is useless against me because I govern them all.”

He stood on the steps composed of ruins, overlooking the Straw Hat Pirates, saying solemnly:

“Honestly, I greatly admire the first to become a demon, for perhaps even the will would be assimilated.”

He raised two fingers, pointing at the sea in the depths of the abyss, which was the Grand Line, “It seems free, yet is a spiral of fate.”

Pointing again at the Straw Hat, “It is hope, but also a curse.”

Then he spread his hands, as if embracing the entire Mary Geoise, “False supreme, decayed foundation.”

Pointing at the Straw Hat again, “The Will of D, a sung destiny, but also a shackle.”

“What are you talking about!” Straw Hat shouted.

Sage’s lips curled into a smile, his deep voice clear yet eerily echoing in the ruins: “‘Grand Line’, ‘Nika’, ‘Divine Valley’, ‘Mary Geoise’, ‘Nika’, ‘Will of D’, ‘Ancient Weapons’, ‘Imu’, ‘onepiece’, ‘Ancient Weapons’, ‘Nika’, ‘Void Throne. Having said this…”

With hands wide open, he suddenly cast them skyward, turning the cloudy sky into a spiral, the smile becoming rampant and sinister.

“The era is accelerating! LordLand!!!”

Buzz!!

A powerful Supreme King burst like lightning black pressure. Its mere descent made it difficult to breathe and movements sluggish.

On the steps, only shattered stones could be seen breaking, while everyone felt a strong wind blowing, lifting their clothes and white hair.

Boom!

Soon after, a muffled sound echoed in their ears.

Everyone instinctively turned to look, their eyes widening with disbelief.

Sage appeared behind them, reaching out with a claw, reducing a sturdy presence to mere dust.

Vaguely, they could still see the remains of a tattered cloak and a piece of a figure dissipating before their eyes, still bearing the sun symbol…

“Jinbe!!” The crew’s eyes were bloodshot.

“Oh my… The first was the blue fatty? I wasn’t even aiming, just randomly shot.”

Sage smiled slightly, then extended his hand, and with a tilt of his elbow, a ray flashed quickly, piercing Franky’s chest, instantly powdering and dispersing him.

“That’s the second one.”

“Franky! You bastard!!”

Sanji finally reacted, his eyes and eyebrows burning with flames, like the very essence of his anger. As he rushed forward, his legs were tinged with pink.

“You’re the one person I can’t forgive!”

In his Nika-transformed state, his legs rubberized, rapidly accelerating and extending, with pink Supreme King’s Entanglement engulfing white flames, forming a circular array, unleashing high-speed kicks.

The trajectory was like flying cutlery.

“Ifrit Jambe: Nika Banquet Table Spin Kick!!”

“A kick remains just a kick, no matter what. You’re an Artificial Human, not a mutant, can’t sprout another pair.”

Sage glanced disdainfully, casually extending his hand, catching the high-speed kicks, and with a single motion, Sanji was slammed to the ground.

The high-speed and dazzling kicks ceased, Sage grasping one of Sanji’s ankles, showing a vicious smile, “Free will and such, I can’t control. But tangible martial arts are useless against me.”

He twisted his grasped hand, the black-red Haki spiraling like a winch, rapidly grinding from Sanji’s ankle to his head, reducing all to dust.

“Sanji!!!”

“Instead of shouting here, think about how to escape my next strike. I promise, anyone who avoids a single hit from me, except for Straw Hat himself, will earn the right to live in the new era.”

Sage closed his hand slightly, his fingers coiling with black-red lightning.

“By the way, my power isn’t so easily blocked. It combines Instant Death from my North Star Divine Fist, Haki, along with the Quake-Quake Fruit’s tremor. Even a graze will turn you to dust.”

“Ohhhhh!!”

Just as he finished speaking, an enraged roar with a massive shadow covered Sage.

Chopper, unable to bear the sorrow and anger, transformed into a gigantic monster. In his Nika form, this posture seemed full of springiness, with the antlers on his head spiraling like springs, roaring skyward.
