"Im, it's time for the World Government's rule to end!"

With a roar, the palace gates were torn apart as easily as fragile paper by a violent hurricane.

The Monkey King, carrying the power of an endless storm, charged swiftly toward the supreme Im on the throne like a deadly meteor.

"Dragon Claw Fist, Dragon Breath!"

Before they were even halfway there, their powerful shouts resounded throughout the palace like thunder.

The raging hurricane quickly gathered and, in the blink of an eye, solidified into a majestic green dragon exuding a terrifying aura.

The Storm Dragon roared to the sky, opened its blood-red maw, and spewed out dazzling storm blades that were powerful enough to cut through space.

These sharp blades whistled past, tearing the air apart with dark spatial rifts wherever they went.

In an instant, the entire palace was enveloped by this devastating hurricane.

Those thick pillars were like fragile tofu in front of the Storm Blade, easily sliced ​​apart without any resistance, with fragments flying everywhere.

Monkey D. Dragon went all out, unleashing his strongest, most powerful attack, determined to kill Im in one blow.

"roar!!!"

The exquisite artifacts on either side of the throne were instantly and mercilessly sliced ​​into countless fragments by the wind blades, and then in the blink of an eye, they turned into dust and vanished without a trace under this terrifying power.

However, Im on the throne seemed oblivious to the fierce attack.

His expression remained calm and serene, only slightly raising his noble head.

In an instant, a strange light suddenly shot out from the mysterious third eye on its forehead.

The light, as thin as a hair, contained a chilling power, easily piercing the storm dragon's mighty breath.

Its remaining power was undiminished, and like a deadly arrow, it shot towards Monkey King's brow like lightning.

At the critical moment, Monkey D. Dragon, with his extraordinary Observation Haki, briefly foresaw the danger to come.

His body reacted instinctively, and he quickly leaned back to dodge.

Although his reaction was quick enough, the speed of that beam of light was simply too fast.

With a "whoosh!" sound, a line of blood suddenly splattered from his head.

At the same time, the raging hurricane behind him seemed to be cleaved in two by a peerless blade.

Monkey D. Dragon's pupils contracted sharply as he clearly felt a deep wound appear between his brow and scalp.

Everyone could see the stark white skull through the wound, and a sharp pain shot through them.

He secretly rejoiced, thinking, "That was close! I almost died!"

If he had been even a few seconds slower, his head would probably have been completely pierced by that eerie light.

He straightened up, and several streams of blood slowly flowed down from between his eyebrows, down his face, and finally dripped onto the ground, splashing up small blood flowers.

But Monkey D. Dragon did not back down; his eyes burned with an indomitable flame.

He had waited for this day for far too long, and his belief was as firm and unbreakable as a towering mountain.

It is absolutely impossible for him to give up now. Overthrowing Im's rule and the rule of the World Government is his lifelong mission and a great goal for which he is willing to pay any price.

Having made up his mind, Monkey D. Dragon launched another attack.

In an instant, a hurricane arose, and a storm even more violent than before filled the entire palace, as if it would completely overturn this magnificent palace.

The terrifying power of the hurricane howled and swirled, and his Conqueror's Haki clung to it as if it were a tangible substance, making the power even more intimidating.

He floated in mid-air, looking down at Im on the throne.

"Im, bear the wrath of these decades!!!"

Monkey D. Dragon waved its hands, and the hurricane constantly changed its shape.

The hurricane condensed into countless wind blades, spears, and even all sorts of weapons.

He suddenly waved his hand, and these weapons, formed from hurricane energy, rained down on Im like a dense storm of pear blossoms.

However, Im remained seated on the throne.

He gently rested his right hand on his chin, his eyes showing no sign of panic.

Just as the torrential attacks were about to fall on her, the third eye on her forehead once again shot out those eerie, hair-like rays of light.

These lights seemed to possess a life of their own, shimmering with a cold, icy light in the air.

Like an indestructible sword, it easily cut through the Monkey King's barrage of attacks.

Wind blades shattered, spears broke, and hurricane attacks of various weapon forms crumbled and vanished before these rays of light.

"No, the gap can't be that big."

Unwilling to accept defeat, Monkey D. Dragon roared and manipulated the hurricane to transform once again into an even larger and more ferocious green dragon, just like a real one.

[Dragon Claw Fist, Azure Dragon Transformation!]

The azure dragon was covered in intense Armament Haki, and in the next moment it swooped down, charging towards Im with unstoppable momentum.

Im's eerie rays continuously sliced ​​through the Azure Dragon's body, scattering dazzling sparks.

But this time, the Azure Dragon's body was not easily cut apart as before.

However, Im showed no change in emotion, and the Azure Dragon was still injured.

Monkey D. Dragon's eyes bulge out, with bloodshot veins covering the whites of his eyes.

He gritted his teeth and concentrated all his energy.

With his masterful control over Armament Haki, he repaired the Azure Dragon's wound the instant the light cut through it.

In this way, they could maintain the Azure Dragon's body, protect themselves, and quickly approach Im.

"Die, Im!"

Monkey D. roared and finally broke through to the throne.

His eyes gleamed with madness and determination; victory or defeat hinged on this moment.

However, the eerie light emanating from Im's forehead eye suddenly intensified, and the azure dragon conjured by the hurricane was instantly torn apart, turning into countless hurricane fragments that dissipated into the air.

His own body also suffered shocking bloodstains from the attack of the light.

But Monkey D. Dragon paid no heed, his right hand transforming into a sharp dragon claw, and with a do-or-die spirit, he thrust it heavily toward Im's heart.

This strike embodied all his strength and belief; he was convinced he would succeed.

However, just when he thought he had succeeded.

Im gently raised his hand, and an invisible force instantly bound Monkey King Dragon to the spot like shackles, rendering him unable to move.

Im looked at Monkey D. Dragon, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Overestimating yourself."

After saying that, she stretched out her finger and gently tapped Monkey D. Dragon's forehead.

The next moment, Monkey D. Dragon was struck as if by lightning, and his body was sent flying backward uncontrollably.

At the same time, those eerie rays of light, like the scythe of death, instantly slashed across his body, and streaks of blood splattered out.

Monkey D. Dragon's body flew backward like a tattered rag doll.

He gazed resentfully at Im on the throne, muttering, "I have reached the end of darkness, but I will not live to see the dawn..."

However, before Monkey D. could finish speaking, a golden hand outside the palace gate slapped him into dust.

Lu Renjia appeared at the palace gate and sneered.

"You, Monkey D. Dragon, dare to say that?"
