Chapter 1365: All-Seeing Eye?
Chapter 1365: All-Seeing Eye?
He knows!
There's no such thing as an unprovoked betrayal in this world!
With such a massive double agent lurking nearby, wouldn't all his actions be exposed?
At first, he thought among so many subordinates, only Klah was trouble-free, unlike Kas and the others who always tried to scheme against him.
So this is where it was.
Damn, they've been waiting for him all along!
No betrayal, or it's a stunning one!
Back then, he'd mocked Kuzan for joining some wicked organization. Turns out the wicked organization was himself all along?!
But thinking about it now is pointless.
"Damn it, after I finish off them, I'll settle scores with you two!"
Kuro raised Autumn Water, his Killing Intent spilling outward, causing the Five Elders to break into cold sweat.
The Five Elders weren't strong themselves—their power lay in their status. As long as he drew his blade, these people would be...
"Hmm?"
Just then, Kuro's eyebrows lifted. Instinctively, he glanced downward toward the Pangu Palace's base—the position directly beneath the Throne.
"You lot handle it!"
His figure flashed, directly darting behind the Throne. A blade flash tore open a massive gash, and he plummeted through.
After descending into darkness, Kuro spotted a glimmer of light. As it approached, he entered a sealed chamber.
The room brimmed with flowers and grasses, roots entwined everywhere. Seemingly no exit, a sword lay on the ground, and beneath its blade scattered countless photos and Wanted Posters.
Beside the sword stood a humanoid figure wearing a tall, cone-like hat. Its face was obscured, but its eyes—those eyes—burned deeply into Kuro's soul.
Kuro landed, frowning as his gaze shifted to the photos and Wanted Posters beneath the blade.
Most photos were ancient, though a few faces Kuro recognized.
Luffy, Law, Marshall D. Teach, Roger, Arabasta's princess Vivi, and Fishman Island's princess Shirahoshi.
"These are the ones who could plunge the world into chaos."
The figure beside him spoke softly, "For eight hundred years, I've been responsible for eliminating these 'lamps' capable of destabilizing the world. I am Imu—the King of this world."
Imu!
Memories surged, and Kuro recalled the name.
He'd always known someone occupied the Throne, but specifics had faded over time. Back then, it hadn't mattered to Kuro who it was or even if they existed—their presence hadn't disrupted worldly order.
But now...
Kuro exhaled a puff of smoke, "Your aura isn't strong. How do you rule the world, you say?"
"I never claimed to be strong",
Those eyes fixed on Kuro, "But..."
He stopped addressing Kuro, instead approaching a wall. With a touch, the wall rose like a mechanism, revealing a massive, moss-covered Luffy effigy.
"Eight hundred years ago..."
Imu continued, "Joy Boy overthrew the great Kingdom, swearing to build a world of racial equality. I was captivated by his ideals and followed him."
"But he was too naive. The Moon people had oppressed us for centuries, yet Joy Boy included them in his vision. I couldn't accept that."
"Our organization initiated the rebellion, yet he wanted to include those criminals in the new Kingdom? That's why Joy Boy failed—we withdrew our support. I even rejected those strange races. We had our own strength. Why ally with them? So... after near-victory, I rebelled again, defeating Joy Boy, stabilizing the world, and erasing that hundred-year history. We governed perfectly without them. Those rebels—the so-called 'D'—were the Moon Clan's enemies."
"Since then, for eight hundred years, I've watched this world. I've eliminated the D's Family, the three lost ancient weapons, and any elements threatening order. Except for you."
Imu turned, his eyes growing deeper, "You escaped my sight."
"You did it brilliantly—discarding your will, gifting it as a Seed to others, hiding your true thoughts and will from me, allowing you to reach this status... the status to resist me."
No, I didn't. I know nothing.
Kuro twitched his lips, exhaling smoke as he lifted his head defiantly, "So what's your point?"
"Eight hundred years, and the world grows increasingly chaotic. You're a rare one, but the world I inherited from Joy Boy isn't easily handed over. Do you have the qualifications? Let's see."
Imu approached slowly, casually grabbing the ordinary sword embedded in the ground. His gaze locked onto Kuro, "Float-Float Fruit, fused with the Azure Dragon Devil Fruit's blade... Greatest Swordsman, yes, your swordsmanship is diverse. Vegapunk's research was impressive, but he wasn't a world disruptor. Enough."
Suddenly, Kuro sensed an extreme danger, his hairs standing on end. Instinctively, he spat a wisp of high-energy flame.
"Heat Breath!"
Facing the incoming flame, Imu simply swung his sword. The flame collapsed effortlessly.
Not Haki—just raw, inexplicable strength.
Like Eradication itself.
"Cry Light Sword!"
Autumn Water's blade erupted with a blinding white laser. As Kuro thrust forward, the beam tore through the air like a scorching blade of pure radiance.
Buzz!
Yet this very technique—capable of slicing through Donquixote Doflamingo’s near-miraculous Birdcage—disintegrated upon reaching Imu like mist.
"The natural forces controlled by the Azure Dragon Devil Fruit? But that’s just ability creation", Imu continued advancing.
Kuro floated backward, hovering midair. His fingers clenched, "Absolute Domain!"
Whoosh!
The air before Imu became chaotic, the surrounding ground collapsing within this domain—a technique that should strip self-control. Yet for the man before him, revealing only his eyes, it had no effect.
He stood unmoved, unaffected, continuing toward Kuro.
Kuro furrowed his brows, "Abilities… useless?"
Clearly, this was someone immune to abilities.
And earlier, he’d accurately named his Devil Fruit abilities, including the Yokai Blade fused with the Azure Dragon Devil Fruit. Nothing seemed hidden from those eyes.
"Damn, final boss, huh? This god, that king—you’re not some architect, are you?" Kuro clicked his tongue.
This remark made Imu pause. Surprise flickered in his eyes as he looked at Kuro.
Kuro caught the emotion, blinked, then raised one brow, "All-Seeing Eye?"
