Chapter 409 Star Fruit, Ten Thousand Foxes of Qingqiu
"After many years, our Lord has actually summoned our souls back from the Ancient Spiritual Nexus."
"So, has the era finally arrived where the sea will engulf everything, and we will rule over all?"
"Be careful, Lemosef—this is a battlefield, and it's not over yet."
"Hmm? It really is... and there's still our Lord's 'prohibition' around—are these guys rebels?"
Eight hundred years later, the people of the initial twenty who returned to the mortal world seemed not surprised by their own return, or rather, they were surprised by the situation around them.
As they talked, they also glanced at Im behind them, and at Luffy, who had lost consciousness in front of Im: "That's... this generation's Joy Boy?"
When asked by the twenty kings, Im calmly nodded.
"As per the contract, Mu has reclaimed some of his power, and therefore summons you back."
"As per the covenant, after the sea has submerged the world and transformed it into my divine kingdom, I will grant you the authority to rule over all things eternally."
"But now... Mu still needs your strength."
He stretched out his hand and pointed to the rebels.
"These are the last rebels in the world. M will reclaim his last vestiges of freedom here." You must stop them from approaching M, and then... slaughter them all for M.
After the words were spoken, the initial twenty kings looked at each other in bewilderment.
They also realized that the situation seemed to be different from their expectations.
"The Lord's situation is worse than we think."
"Is this a lingering effect of that bitch Lily from back then?"
This is their shared thought at this moment.
Yes.
As the original contractor of the Abyss, he betrayed Davy Jones and became a key pawn in the Abyss's quest to rule the world.
They should have been immortal beings; for the Abyss at that time, granting them eternal life was as simple as breathing.
The problem is that Queen Lily used her power to seal the Abyss within Im's body.
This directly resulted in the abyssal power required to sustain their immortality being far too immense for Im to bear at that time.
So they made another agreement.
They will die, but Im will resurrect them in the future after regaining his power.
That was also the time when the sea submerged the world, and everything in the world was completely enslaved by them.
But now they find that the situation doesn't seem to be like that.
Although Im brought them back, the war continued.
Although their master has regained some of his power, he has clearly not yet fully recovered to his peak.
But it's okay.
"Rebels? Just a bunch of dissenters."
"You insects should just kneel down before the Creator!"
"Our lord has already taken away their power and desires... They think they can fight us just with their domineering aura? How laughable!"
They felt the familiar power bestowed upon them by Im, and looking down at their opponents whose abilities had been taken away by Im and whose power was suppressed by the abyss magic circle, they remained unconcerned.
And that is indeed the case.
On the battlefield at this moment, many powerful individuals who had lost the enhancement of their Devil Fruit abilities were instantly plunged into a huge crisis and a passive situation.
Correspondingly, many of the "Ghostly Calibur" soldiers who originally had no abilities, including some vice admirals who had not been converted, now found that Devil Fruit abilities were starting to appear out of thin air within their bodies.
The situation on the battlefield began to change significantly.
Then look at the First Kings who have descended, and Im himself, whose power continues to grow.
The scales of victory seemed to tip at this moment.
At this moment, Im finally felt at ease and began to absorb Luffy's abilities in the final stages—he knew the abilities and strength of the original eighteen kings.
Although they were traitors and the progenitors of the Celestial Dragons, each of them was a remarkable figure of their time, absolutely capable of protecting and absorbing...
"Um!?"
Im's thoughts hadn't even finished.
Because at this time...
"Buzz!"
The battlefield, which had been somewhat dark due to Im's power, inexplicably became bright at this moment.
The rising starlight, at this moment, is like a sharp sword piercing the night.
Everyone instinctively looked up.
Then you see the twelve constellations, which have seemed to have been quietly waiting for something since they appeared, at this moment.
It finally moved.
The first to take action were the Dog (戌), Rabbit (卯), and Sheep (未).
At that moment, the starlight around the Dog (戌狗) gently spread out.
The starlight did not create a tremendous spectacle; instead, it spread like ripples, forming a huge, illusory scene behind him in just a moment.
That appeared to be a massive mountain range.
It seems to be just a phantom formed from starlight, yet it feels as if it truly exists.
From the mountains, little foxes formed from starlight emerged from the grass.
"That is..."
At this moment, many people present, as well as those who had been silently watching the live broadcast for a long time, subconsciously let out a gasp of surprise.
They recognized the mountain—no, or rather, the mountain was quite famous on the sea not long ago.
"It's...it's one of the 'Twelve Trial Grounds' on the Esther!"
Those who had previously participated in the trials on the Esther were now able to recognize it clearly.
"It can't be wrong. After I left the Esther, I even went to the capital's library to check, but I couldn't find any information."
That mountain is "Qingqiu Mountain".
According to the Trial Grounds, it is the "source of the foxes".
Amidst gasps of surprise.
The dog slowly raised its hand.
The next moment, his figure suddenly transformed into a gigantic nine-tailed fox.
But at the same time, his body seemed to transform into countless things.
Flowers, trees, birds, and beasts—all the myriad things within Qingqiu Mountain seem to be its face.
【Star Fruit - Azure Hill Fruit】
"Thousand-tailed Incarnation"
Accompanied by his whisper.
The nine enormous tails behind him also instantly turned into countless scattered stardust.
At that moment, countless foxes in Qingqiu Mountain suddenly leaped out of the mountain.
Each of them has a different appearance, and each has unique patterns on its body.
They landed on the battlefield, on the shoulders of the warriors belonging to the twelve constellations.
Then...
"!!!"
Whether it was the giant warriors, the nine-snake warriors, or the fish-man warriors who were fighting fiercely, they all felt a strange power beginning to flow into their bodies.
Those who were previously able to use these abilities felt it even more acutely at this moment.
"bake!"
For example, at this moment, a phantom fox was also crawling on Marco's shoulder.
Then, from his body... the blue-green flames of regeneration blazed once more.
"Her abilities have been restored?"
He exclaimed in surprise.
"No, that's not right..."
But after only a moment, the change became apparent.
"This fox seems a bit strange; it's slightly weaker than me, and it's a little clumsy to use..."
"Did he possess my abilities and bestow them upon me?"
As he murmured to himself, Marco clearly knew that now was not the time to think about these things.
"That's enough."
He just gritted his teeth and watched the foxes flying around on the battlefield—Jozu's body recrystallized, and flames reignited on Ace's hands.
More importantly, even some ordinary soldiers had relatively small foxes on their bodies.
And it is visibly clear that when these foxes leap onto their shoulders, their strength, speed, or other abilities become significantly enhanced.
In the blink of an eye, the battlefield, which had been on the verge of collapse, was stabilized.
"Wow, that guy from the Zodiac is really capable..."
Marco responded with an excited smile.
The dog's intervention directly changed the course of the battle.
And more importantly...
Marco and everyone else should know that this is just the beginning!
