Pirate, I am the demon fox that brings disaster to the world!

The contract is the power that Im has held from the beginning to the end. Through it, the Five Elder Stars and the Knights of God can enjoy the blessing of immortality, while their own souls are firmly held in their hands.

Harald had agreed to the conditions negotiated by the World Government, and thus he had inadvertently fallen into the trap of the contract, which made it impossible for him to display his strength. Even if he tried his best to resist, he could not escape the fate of being "demonized".

(The reason why Broki and Donli can be controlled in the original work is because after Harald's death, no new king was born in Elbaf, so the conditions of the contract were not broken and it was established by default)

This is the power derived from the devil fruit, which is the coercive force of the rules. Unless one has power beyond Im, there is no exemption. In the era before Nika appeared, it was the absolute ruling power of the king of the world.

Now, when all the pirates boarded Mary Geoise with the intention of conquering the New World and competing for wealth and profit, the contract had already been signed invisibly and could no longer be changed.

This is because when they were willing to cooperate with the World Government to fight against the Four Emperors who occupied the New World, they had already reached an implicit condition to a certain extent - their own power would be used by the World Government, and this body would become a pawn in the war.

Even though they all more or less intend to pick up leftovers from the World Government, the relationship of mutual exploitation cannot ultimately defeat the will of the strong. Under the absolute gap in strength, even if Im signs contracts with all pirates at the same time, he can do it with ease.

However, there is only one exception in this situation, that is, the other party has no intention of using the power of the World Government.

In other words, they will neither cooperate with the World Government nor submit to the authority of the Four Emperors. They will rely on their own strength to carve out their own path until they achieve their goals.

Among all the pirates gathered in Mary Geoise today, does such a person really exist?

Of course there is. Although their numbers are small, they are all guys who are famous in the Grand Line. They have their own pride in their hearts and full confidence in their own strength. They believe that even without relying on the World Government, they will eventually occupy a place in the ocean!

If everything goes as planned, when the pirates enter the New World, the World Government will naturally be wary and attentive to these people. In addition to the idiots who serve as cannon fodder, the World Government also needs these people to weaken the strength of the New World.

Unfortunately, the owner who lured the pirates here did not think so. Her main purpose was to lure out Nika's ability users. In the process, harvesting some cannon fodder and solving the problem of unstable elements in the Grand Line were just incidental.

Anyone who truly inherited that man's will would never be easily dominated. Just as Im expected, the other party was indeed attracted by the "signpost".

"Black Transformation Domination——"

Without any warning, magic circles with dark pentagrams suddenly rose from the ground of the holy land. The deep halo gathered into an all-consuming abyss vortex, ruthlessly drowning all the pirates who had "signed" the contract with it in an irresistible manner.

No matter how they struggled or how they cried miserably, it was of no use. Under the shocked gaze of all the navy watching, the entire holy land was almost instantly covered with a bleak shadow.

Amidst countless desperate cries, the abyss devoured everything, drawing out the deepest darkness in their hearts, and then spewing out densely packed demonic figures—

Bat-like wings, sharp teeth and claws, red glasses and sharp tails. At the cost of their own lives and freedom, they gained power they had never imagined before from the devil's contract.

The expansion of power greatly stimulated their ambitions and fanned the flames of desire.

Greed and anger have become the driving force behind their actions. Pain and death have completely abandoned them. For the sake of wealth and status in the new world, they will become the sharpest claws of God and tear apart all enemies in front of them!

"Tsk, compared to Harald back then, he's definitely not on the same level. It seems the conquest of Elbaf must be put on the agenda."

Amidst the flowers and colors, Im felt the thousands of souls under his control and couldn't help but feel this way. After scanning the scene with the vision of the Knight of God, he soon fixed his eyes on a straw hat that appeared in the chaos.

His mind was violently agitated in an instant, and his pupils constricted. Without Imdo's instructions, the pentagram mark jumping in the soul of the Knight of God had already told them the next action very clearly - catch him, or kill him!

"What...what the hell is going on?! What on earth happened to these people?!"

The doubts that arose in the minds of the remaining pirates also echoed in the hearts of Luffy and others. Seeing the amazing changes in those guys and the crazy attacks that followed, even Luffy, who was a thick-skinned man, knew that something was wrong!

Although I don’t know what means the World Government has used, it is obvious that everything today is a trap set by the other party!

"Something's wrong! We must retreat immediately, Luffy!"

Zoro's anxious voice rang in his ears. After knocking an attacking pirate away with one punch, Luffy responded without looking back. Although the confidence brought by their strength can support them to fight and retreat in the endless attacks, they are in the heart of the World Government and obviously do not have much time to waste fighting with these "devils".

Taking a deep breath, just as Luffy stretched out his arms to pull everyone away as quickly as possible, a dazzling blade light shot out from a distance.

In a hurry, Luffy had to raise his hand to condense the armed color as a defense, but despite this, the domineering color wrapped around it still penetrated this layer of defense and attacked Luffy's body.

"This domineering aura... is so strong!"

Luffy had no time to be shocked. He flew backwards and quickly swallowed the blood. He only managed to stand firm after flying hundreds of meters.

When he looked up again, he saw that Garin Sheng was standing calmly in the position he was just in. Seeing this, the "demonized" pirates around him retreated one after another, leaving only Ace and a few others scattered around him, their bodies tensed like longbows, looking at Garin with deep vigilance.

"In Marijoa today, all pirates can escape, but you cannot, Monkey D. Luffy.

For Garp's sake, I can give you two choices: surrender obediently and accept a hundred years of imprisonment, or let me execute you personally?

Make your choice, little one, for it will determine the fate of your companions."

A strange scene unfolded above the holy land. The demonized pirates were encircling and killing the pirates. Those unruly fellows were struggling to hold on under the almost crazy attacks. The navy, a symbol of justice, was scattered in all directions, watching this farce and ruthlessly extinguishing the last chance of those pirates who broke through the siege.

As for the Knights of God, Cyril Palace and Saint Uriel were raiding for Saint Galin, observing in a cat-and-mouse manner how the so-called Nika was given such importance by that lord.

This is a desperate situation that is almost impossible to turn around, and it is enough to show Im's determination to make a final end.

Soon, as long as she can get all the signposts, she will be able to wipe out the last remnant of history. Even if Joy Boy returns, his threat will be greatly reduced.

After all, in addition to the opponent's overwhelming strength, the ability to unite everyone is its most dangerous weapon. The stubborn resistance of the remnants over the past eight hundred years is the best proof of this.

However, fate will not be as she wishes. Even in this desperate situation, even in this holy land, Joyboy still has his companions, which is a relic spanning hundreds of years.
