One Piece: Initially tricked into joining the Marines by Garp

Chapter 287 mission complete!

After a brief exchange between Imu and Luo Xia, Imu returned to mid-air and looked down at everyone.

Yimu hovered silently in the air, his gaze sweeping over everyone below like a cold blade.

At this moment, Luo Xia opened his arms, and a huge spatial cube within his arms was continuously compressed until it became the size of a fist and floated in Luo Xia's hands.

Luo Xia sneered, exerted force with his arm, and the cube that Luo Xia had been continuously compressing instantly disappeared from its original spot, reappearing above Yimu's head.

Yimu looked up, her eyes showing no fear, and simply turned slightly to the side.

Just as Yimu turned to the side, the spatial cube that Luo Xia had compressed countless times exploded directly above Yimu's head.

Even though the explosion was exceptionally loud and echoed between heaven and earth, when the smoke cleared, Yimu was standing there unharmed.

"You think you can hurt me with such paltry tricks? Luo Xia, you're not qualified." Yimu's icy voice rang out.

Luo Xia's expression changed, and he was secretly shocked by Yi Mu's strength.

Rorschach swallowed hard, then turned to Garp beside him and said, "Old man, let's run!"

Garp's eyes widened. "Run? That's not my style!" With that, Garp clenched his fists, and a powerful burst of energy erupted from his body.

Seeing this, Yimu snorted coldly, "You're courting death." He then gently raised his hand, and a black energy wave shot towards Garp.

Just as the energy wave was about to hit Garp, Rorschach rushed forward and used his ability to create a spatial shield to block the attack. However, the impact still forced Rorschach back several steps.

After regaining his footing, Luo Xia's face darkened. He had been in the pirate world for so long, and although he had been in a sorry state, he had already gained such strength. How could he have been beaten like this by this guy?

Rorschach was now completely enraged.

Luo Xia instantly drew his Shura sword from his waist, and a massive amount of Conqueror's Haki surrounded him.

Rorschach held the Shura, its Conqueror's Haki swirling around it, the surrounding air seemingly distorted by the pressure of this Haki.

Imu frowned slightly; he could sense the power boost brought about by Luo Xia's anger.

“Interesting,” Immu whispered.

Luo Xia shouted and charged toward Yimu like a tiger pouncing on its prey, his speed leaving only afterimages.

But Yimu remained suspended in mid-air, without even moving.

Luo Xia sneered, allowing Shura to absorb his full-body Conqueror's Haki. In an instant, the Shura Sword's aura surged, and the blade became even longer and sharper.

Using this powerful force, Luo Xia leaped high into the air and slashed at Yimu.

A hint of surprise finally flashed in Yimu's eyes. He stretched out his palm, and a gray-black barrier appeared in front of him.

The moment the Asura Sword touched the barrier, a powerful reaction force came from it, and Luo Xia felt a tingling sensation in his arm, but he gritted his teeth and forced himself to endure it, continuing to increase his strength to push forward.

Although the people on the ground were eager to make a move, they also wanted to see just how strong this Yimu really was.

Besides, with so many of them here, do you think they'd let Luo Xia get killed right under their noses?

Shanks even pulled over the corpse of one of the Five Elders and sat on it, looking rather reckless.

Others did not object to Shanks' behavior and even began to imitate him.

Kaido even pulled over the corpses of two of the Five Elders and sat on them.

The battle continues.

The Shura aura in Luo Xia's hands continued to increase, and Luo Xia continuously provided Conqueror's Haki.

As Yimu sensed Luo Xia's increasingly intense offensive, a subtle smile appeared on her lips.

But before she could be happy for long, the barrier supporting Yimu began to crack, and the cracks continued to widen.

"boom!!!"

The next second, a crisp sound rang out, and the shield that had been blocking Yimu shattered.

Taking advantage of the moment the shield shattered, Luo Xia swung the Shura Sword without hesitation and stabbed at Yimu.

Yimu was unable to dodge in time and was slashed on the cheek by the Shura Sword.

At the same time, the hood that had been completely covering Imu's head revealed her true face after Luo Xia's attack.

As the hood was removed, Yimu's face came into view.

Everyone was stunned the moment they saw Imumi's face. Rorschach's eyes widened in astonishment.

It's not because she's ugly, but because she's so beautiful. Her skin is as white and smooth as snow, and she's just as good-looking as a girl in her twenties.

Seeing the astonished expressions on everyone's faces, Yimu blushed with embarrassment and shouted angrily, "What are you looking at!"

With increased speed, a black beam of spatial light shot towards Luo Xia.

Luo Xia quickly dodged to the side, but unexpectedly, the light seemed to have eyes and changed direction, directly hitting Luo Xia in the back.

Rorschach was struck in the back and coughed up blood, but his eyes remained resolute.

"Hmph, nothing special." Luo Xia wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, gripped the Shura Sword tightly again, and at the same time, he took out a few Senzu Beans from his spatial storage and stuffed them haphazardly into his mouth.

Before long, his remaining strength was quickly restored, and his injured back gradually recovered.

Yimu was surprised that Luo Xia could be so resilient after such a heavy blow, and she couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

At this moment, Shanks, who had been sitting on the corpses of the Five Elders watching the show, suddenly spoke up: "Brother Rorschach, do you need any help?"

"Why don't we all go at him together, hundreds of us, and kill that bastard?"

Luo Xia responded loudly, "No need. Today I want to see what this old thing that has lived for hundreds of years is capable of."

After saying that, Rorschach unleashed his Conqueror's Haki to its fullest extent, transforming himself into a god of war.

Upon hearing Luo Xia's words, Yimu trembled with rage. "Then I'll show you my true strength!" With that, Yimu waved her hands, and dark clouds filled the sky, with streaks of black lightning flashing through them.

Luo Xia gripped the Shura Sword tightly, watching his opponent warily.

Suddenly, a pair of huge black wings unfurled behind Imu, and he charged toward Luo Xia like a ghost.

Luo Xia was equally unyielding and charged towards Yimu.

When the two collided, a powerful shockwave spread outwards, instantly turning some surrounding buildings into dust.

The two fought back and forth in the air, and for a time they were evenly matched.

The battle lasted for an unknown period of time; some of the surrounding buildings collapsed, while others were reduced to dust.

Even during the battle, Rorschach spotted several Celestial Dragons hiding not far away, estimating their numbers to be several hundred.

Moreover, they were all obese and wore specially made clothes.

Luo Xia had a sudden inspiration and came up with an idea.

He deliberately created an opening, and Yimu seized the opportunity to strike with all her might.

Rorschach, however, used spatial power to teleport to the side of the Celestial Dragons. The spatial power in his palm instantly enveloped the Celestial Dragons, and in the next second, hundreds of Celestial Dragons were instantly brought to the middle of Shanks and the others by Rorschach.

Rorschach grinned and said, "Shanks, kill him!"

Shanks was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Haha, Rorschach, you're really ruthless." The others also laughed, but they were all eager to get started.

Seeing the Celestial Dragons captured, Immu's expression changed drastically. "You dare to touch them and see what happens!"

Luo Xia frowned and asked in confusion, "You actually have feelings?"

"Could it be that you gave birth to all these beasts?"

Although Luo Xia kept talking, Yimu's face grew even more gloomy, as if she was on the verge of exploding in rage.

Yimu roared angrily, his black aura growing stronger, as he charged towards Luo Xia and the others without regard for anything else.

But no one was afraid of him, and they joined forces to resist him, with Rorschach being the first to bear the brunt.

At this moment, Luo Xia looked like a blood-soaked person, his clothes and skin were covered in blood.

Imu was busy dealing with the attacks from the crowd and was momentarily flustered. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shanks slashed at the Celestial Dragons with his sword.

However, just as Shanks was about to strike, a roar like muffled thunder resounded in mid-air, "Since you're all going to die anyway, then I'll take your lives."

"After all, we've been supporting you good-for-nothings for long enough."

In an instant, black mist rose from Imu's body in mid-air. Not only that, but the useless Celestial Dragons captured by Rorschach also began to emit a bloody aura.

Those scents gradually drifted towards Yimu.

Everyone watched this scene with curiosity, and the only sounds were the screams and pleas for mercy from the Celestial Dragons.

The time lasted for about a minute, but by the end, Luo Xia still couldn't find anything special about Yimu.

Luo Xia curled his lip and cursed, "Playing tricks, I think your face is dark and you're already courting death."

Yimu snorted coldly, her voice as cold as ice from the depths of hell, devoid of any emotion, filled only with murderous intent, "Luo Xia, you deserve to die!"

You deserve to die!

"Those useless things are all my sacrifices!"

"You've ruined everything, you've ruined everything!"

Luo Xia frowned and sneered, "Hmph, you heartless bastard, using these trash as sacrifices, do you think that will make you invincible?"

With bloodshot eyes, Yimu roared, "What do you know! Those trash were my lifespans! If it weren't for you, you damned bastard, would I have absorbed them all?"

Upon hearing Yimu's words, those with high IQs present all showed expressions of "I see" or "that's how it is."

Of course, there are smart ones and stupid ones, like Garp.

Garp asked casually, "Kid, what did that guy mean?"

Luo Xia's lips twitched, then he explained, "That old guy has lived for eight hundred years. Why would he live for so long? Naturally, it's because he extracted the lifespan of these useless people. Otherwise, who do you think would live for so long?"

"And it should only be effective on living people; dead people can't be treated with it."

"That's why that old man was so angry just now."

Luo Xia looked at Yimu, who was gradually becoming enraged in mid-air, and felt very pleased.

Rorschach scoffed, "You old codger, you must have a long lifespan now, right?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, but it's a real pity that I'm about to kill him!"

"How about... you give me the rest of your lifespan?"

Enraged, Yimu laughed coldly: "Want to live my life? You're dreaming! Today, you'll all die here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yimu's aura surged again, and black energy swirled around him like a vortex.

Everyone's expression changed as they felt the immense pressure.

Roger shouted, "Don't back down, everyone! Charge!"

The crowd responded in unison, unleashing their strongest attacks as they charged toward Yimu.

In an instant, various lights and energies intertwined and collided with Yimu's black energy.

Luo Xia moved like lightning, his Shura Sword radiating a powerful domineering aura as he slashed at Yimu time and time again.

Imu fought back fiercely, and the two sides reached a stalemate.

Just then, Whitebeard swung his Murakumogiri with a sudden strike, the powerful shockwave breaking through Imu's defenses and leaving a wound on his body.

With a roar, Yimu increased his energy output, repelling the crowd.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Rorschach launched another attack, fusing his spatial power with his Conqueror's Haki to create a powerful shockwave.

Unable to dodge in time, Yimu was struck in the chest and coughed up blood.

A hint of fear and despair finally appeared in his eyes.

"Impossible, I won't lose!" Yimu shouted frantically.

However, the crowd did not give him a chance to catch his breath and continued to launch attack after attack.

Under the combined attack of the crowd, Yimu's power gradually weakened.

Ultimately, Yimu could not hold on any longer and fell from the sky.

Covered in blood, Rorschach stepped forward, looked at the dying Imu, and said, "Has your path of evil come to an end?"

With her last ounce of strength, Yimu glared fiercely at Luo Xia before slowly closing her eyes.

At the same time, in the instant of Yimu's death, Yimu's body turned into ashes and scattered in the air.

As Yimu died, the dark clouds in the sky gradually dispersed, and the sunlight shone down again.

The crowd cheered; the hard-fought battle was finally won.

Luo Xia relaxed completely, but he couldn't help feeling a little regretful as he looked at the ashes floating in the air.

"Oh, what a pity, I was hoping to take it back and study it properly!" Luo Xia's tone was full of regret.

Before she could finish lamenting, a voice that was all too familiar to him reached everyone's ears.

[Ding! Congratulations to Luo Xia for completing the final mission and killing Yimu.]

[Receive rewards and return to your original world.]

You have one day to think about this; please think carefully.

In an instant, almost everyone's eyes turned to Rorschach.

Luo Xia was also confused. Although he thought that the system should make a notification sound when the task was completed, this time the notification sound was heard by everyone.

Just as Luo Xia was about to speak, something resembling a spatial rift appeared in front of him.

The crack was three meters high.

At this moment, those who had fought alongside Luo Xia also came over and inquired about the voice they had just heard.

When asked about it, Rorschach told them everything.

After Rorschach finished speaking, everyone present went from shock to surprise, and finally to calm.

After an unknown amount of time, Luo Xia remained seated, staring at the spatial rift before him, lost in thought. Everyone fell silent, awaiting his decision.

Garp stepped forward and patted Rorschach on the shoulder: "Kid, whatever you choose, I'll support you."

Shanks also said, "Rorschach, just follow your heart."

Luo Xia took a deep breath and said, "Everyone, I need some time to think this over."

After saying that, he walked aside alone, his mind filled with countless thoughts. He recalled his various experiences in this world, fighting alongside the old man, and those unforgettable moments...

On the other side, the group was also discussing in hushed tones.

Do you think Rorschach will leave?

"I don't know, maybe he'll miss us."

Time passed second by second, and Luo Xia finally raised his head, his eyes becoming firm.

He stepped forward again and slowly said, "Friends, I've decided..."
