章節 64: The Pirate King’s Trial
The battlefield lay in ruins. Raftel, the legendary island that held the final clue to the One Piece, was breaking apart under the sheer force of the monumental battle. Dust and debris filled the air, and the once grand island was now a wasteland of shattered rocks and deep fissures. The sky, torn asunder by the clash of two titans, was a chaotic swirl of clouds and lightning. It was a scene that mirrored the stakes of the battle unfolding in its midst.
Luffy, his body glowing with the radiant light of the Sun God Nika, stood at the center of it all, his fists clenched, his resolve unshakable. His Gear 5 form, pushed to its ultimate limits, was flickering but still burning bright. His hair, once white, now glowed with a golden hue, and his body bent and twisted in impossible ways, the perfect fusion of haki and Devil Fruit power. He had reached a level of mastery that few could ever hope to achieve, one that was necessary to overcome the immense threat standing before him.
Blackbeard, bloodied and battered, still stood with a twisted grin, his eyes filled with madness. His Yami Yami no Mi power, the ability to create and control darkness, swirled around him in a vortex of destruction. His body quaked under the strain of wielding three Devil Fruits, but he wasn't backing down. The massive black hole he had summoned earlier continued to expand, pulling everything toward it—the ground, the air, the sea itself.
"Zehahaha! You're strong, Straw Hat, I'll give you that, but nothing can stop me now!" Blackbeard bellowed, his voice echoing across the crumbling landscape. "My darkness will swallow everything, even you! The One Piece, the world, it's all mine!"
Luffy's gaze didn't waver. His eyes, sharp and filled with determination, remained locked on Blackbeard. He could feel the weight of the moment. Everything had led to this—the years of adventure, the friends he had made, the sacrifices, the dreams. It all came down to this final battle.
The pull of Blackbeard's black hole intensified, the gravity warping the space around them. Rocks, debris, even the light from the sun was being dragged into the swirling void of darkness. Luffy could feel its pull, but he planted his feet firmly into the ground, his body glowing brighter, his haki pushing back against the overwhelming force.
"I'm not letting you take anything, Blackbeard," Luffy growled, his fists tightening as his aura surged around him. His Conqueror's Haki erupted like a tidal wave, clashing against the gravitational force of the black hole, creating a barrier of pure willpower.
The ground beneath Luffy cracked under the pressure, but he didn't falter. His body, in its ultimate Gear 5 form, began to shift once again, evolving into something more. His rubbery limbs twisted and bent, his movements becoming almost surreal, dreamlike. The light around him intensified, bathing the battlefield in a radiant, golden glow.
"This ends now!" Luffy shouted, his voice reverberating across the battlefield.
He raised his fists, which now glowed with an ethereal, otherworldly light. His haki had reached a level beyond anything he had ever used before, combining the raw strength of his Devil Fruit with the full force of his Supreme King's Haki. His entire body seemed to vibrate with energy, the very air around him bending to his will.
"Gomu Gomu no... Divine Strike!" Luffy roared.
With a burst of unimaginable speed, Luffy launched himself at Blackbeard, his fists moving so fast they blurred through the air. His body twisted in impossible ways as he closed the distance between them in an instant. The sheer power radiating from his attack caused the ground to crack beneath him, and the sky above split open once again, the air itself shattering under the force of his haki.
Blackbeard's eyes widened as Luffy's attack drew near. His Yami Yami no Mi powers surged, the black hole growing even larger as he tried to absorb the incoming attack. But Luffy's haki was too powerful. It cut through the darkness, bypassing the gravitational pull, and struck Blackbeard directly in the chest.
The impact was cataclysmic.
The force of Luffy's Divine Strike shattered the black hole, sending a massive shockwave across the battlefield. The darkness that had surrounded Blackbeard dissipated, the gravitational pull disappearing as the energy from Luffy's attack overwhelmed it. Blackbeard's body was thrown backward, crashing into the ground with a thunderous impact, creating a massive crater in the earth.
For the first time, Blackbeard looked truly afraid.
He gasped for breath, his body shaking violently. The strain of using three Devil Fruits, combined with the sheer force of Luffy's haki-infused strike, had pushed him beyond his limits. The darkness that had once seemed so impenetrable was now flickering, fading.
"No... this can't be..." Blackbeard muttered, his voice trembling. "I'm supposed to take it all... I'm supposed to win..."
Luffy, still glowing with the radiant energy of his Gear 5 form, landed softly on the ground. He stood tall, his eyes locked onto Blackbeard, but his expression wasn't one of triumph. There was no gloating, no mocking. Luffy wasn't fighting for power or control. He was fighting for his friends, for freedom, for the dream of the Pirate King.
"You're not taking the One Piece, Blackbeard," Luffy said firmly. "Because it doesn't belong to someone like you."
Blackbeard, his body battered and broken, tried to stand, but his legs gave out beneath him. He collapsed into the crater, gasping for air, his once massive presence now reduced to a shadow of its former self.
As the dust settled, the battlefield grew eerily quiet. The black hole was gone, the darkness receding, and for the first time since the battle began, the island of Raftel felt still. The remaining pirates and Marines, who had been watching the battle from a distance, stood in stunned silence, unable to process what had just happened.
Blackbeard, the man who had terrorized the seas, who had claimed the power of three Devil Fruits, had been defeated.
Shanks, standing atop a nearby ridge, watched the conclusion of the battle with a solemn expression. His hand rested on the hilt of his sword, but he made no move to intervene. He had seen enough. Luffy had proven himself, not just as a fighter, but as a leader, a man who could carry the legacy of the Pirate King.
A faint smile crossed Shanks' lips. He had always believed in Luffy, from the moment he had entrusted him with his straw hat. Now, watching him stand victorious over Blackbeard, Shanks knew that Luffy had truly stepped into his role.
"You did it, Luffy," Shanks muttered under his breath, his voice barely audible.
The other pirates, both allies and enemies, watched in stunned silence. They had witnessed the rise of a legend. There was no doubt in their minds now: Monkey D. Luffy had earned the title of the Pirate King.
Luffy stood over Blackbeard's defeated form, breathing heavily, his body trembling from exhaustion. His Gear 5 form flickered, the glowing light around him beginning to fade as the adrenaline of the battle wore off. But he didn't collapse. He stood firm, his eyes still sharp, his will unbroken.
He had done it. He had defeated Blackbeard.
But there was no time for celebration. The island of Raftel, now crumbling beneath their feet, was still unstable. The massive battle had caused irreparable damage to the island, and the ground continued to shake, threatening to collapse entirely.
Luffy turned toward the cavern below, where the final resting place of the One Piece awaited. He could feel it, deep in his bones. The treasure, the truth, everything he had been searching for—it was right beneath him.
"Come on, guys," Luffy called out to his crew, his voice filled with determination. "We've got a treasure to find."
The Straw Hat Pirates, battered and bruised but alive, gathered around their captain. Zoro, his swords still at his side, gave a firm nod. Sanji, though bloodied, managed a grin as he lit another cigarette. Nami, Robin, Franky, Jinbe, Usopp, Brook, and Chopper all stood together, ready for whatever lay ahead.
They had come too far to stop now.
As the Straw Hats descended into the cavern, the ancient walls around them were etched with inscriptions, the lost history of the Void Century laid bare before them. Robin, her eyes wide with wonder, read the inscriptions as they moved deeper into the heart of Raftel.
"This... this is it," Robin whispered, her voice trembling with excitement. "The truth about the Void Century... the One Piece... it's all here."
Luffy, leading the way, could feel the weight of the moment. He didn't care about gold or riches. The One Piece was something more, something that would change the world forever.
As they reached the final chamber, the light from the sun filtered through the cracks in the earth above, illuminating the ancient treasure that had been hidden for centuries. The room was vast, filled with gold, relics, and ancient artifacts, but at the center of it all was something more—a massive stone tablet, engraved with the true history of the world.
Luffy approached it slowly, his heart pounding in his chest. This was what Gol D. Roger had found all those years ago. The truth that had eluded the world for so long.
"The One Piece..." Luffy muttered, a grin spreading across his face.
He didn't need to read the inscriptions to understand what it meant. The treasure wasn't just material wealth—it was the knowledge, the truth, and the freedom to change the world.
And now, it was in his hands.
As the Straw Hat Pirates stood together, the weight of their journey finally settling in, Luffy placed a hand on the stone tablet and looked up at the sky.
"I'm going to change the world," Luffy said, his voice filled with quiet determination. "I'm going to make it a place where everyone can be free."
The sun finally broke through the clouds, casting a warm, golden light over the island. The dawn of a new era had arrived, and at its center stood Monkey D. Luffy, the man who would lead the world into the future as the Pirate King.
