The Pirate Incarnate as Thunder

Going back in time a little, Pongal Castle.

"It would be nice if there was really no one in this seat."

In the solemn hall, a long sigh sounded. Now that Im had left, an uninvited guest appeared where no one should have been.

This is a man with some curly hair that looks greasy and has not been washed for several days. He is wearing a white coat and a colorful sweater. There is a black box hanging on his white coat. There is dust and mud everywhere. It seems that he has experienced something before coming here. After a lot of twists and turns, he looked even more sloppy despite his ordinary appearance and ordinary clothes.

But this is just the surface, because his name is "Vegapunk", the omnipotent researcher known to the world, da da, da da

As footsteps sounded, Vegapunk stepped onto the stairs that even the Five Old Stars dared not climb. He stopped in front of the throne, turned his head and looked at the surrounding weapons, and his eyes stopped at the center. There are 19 weapons with different shapes. Compared with other weapons that can still maintain their original appearance, they have become excessively decayed and seem to turn into powder with just a light touch.

"Without decay, there would be no new life. Well, you are right."

Talking to himself, Vegapunk crossed the throne, walked to the leftmost step, and slowly drew out the long sword with the "Lightning Magatama" pattern engraved on the hilt: "Regg is such a strange person. His way of thinking is incompatible with this world, but he will stick to his bottom line."

"You are right, his heart has never lost its direction, right?"

Vegapunk, who seemed to be talking to someone, casually put the sword into the black box. Circles of ripples appeared on the surface of the box, swallowing the sword. Then he returned to the throne and pressed his palm on the golden lion's head. On the handrail, the passage opened quietly.

Vegapunk looked around subconsciously, and walked in with a touch of embarrassment to do something like a thief. This was the first time in his life that he had done it.

"Humph, it's the fragrance of earth."

"Left, right, go straight"

"Three turns to the left, two and a half turns to the right, half a turn backwards"

After twists and turns, Vegapunk came to a mechanical gate. Under the guidance, he opened the road to the ground. He stepped out of the quaint hall where Im had taken the straw hat before and appeared in front of him.

"Well, leave it to me next."

Vegapunk put down the black box and opened it. In the ripples, small white dots flew out one after another, and then returned to their original size in just a few seconds. They looked only as tall as an ordinary child. Wearing white clothes, a round face with a mustache, and a pair of white wings behind his back

"Hello Pace"

"Hello, Commander Begapunk and 300 guardians are ready, please give follow-up orders."

"That's good"

Vegapunk rolled up his sleeves and glanced at the Guardian troops who were equipped with various types of wrenches and holding circuit boards, wiring pipes and other tools. After confirming that nothing had gone wrong, he nodded with satisfaction: "Tree of Life Restoration works, final phase begins”

Garden of Eden.

"What did you do when I lost my ability?"

Reg, who was shrouded in a dead wood cage, had a bit more panic in his voice. He didn't feel any fatigue in his body. It wasn't that his ability disappeared when he met the Sea Tower Stone, but he could no longer feel the power of the Thunder Fruit. It was like I've never felt like eating a devil fruit before

"Maybe defeating Kaido and Big Mom one after another gave you the illusion that you are omnipotent, but the world is far from as simple as you think."

"I told you from the beginning, the world is changing all the time, so you understand that the King of Heaven is a life, and life will make changes in order to survive, even if it becomes something different than what it is."

"You came uninvited and refused the last chance I gave you. Naturally, you have to pay a corresponding price. When this fruit of darkness covers the sky, everything you own will fall into the abyss forever."

Im, who spoke a lot in one breath, was like a high and mighty queen, giving the final judgment to Reg. The dark fruit quickly shriveled up, turning into a black nothingness that could even be swallowed by the gaze.

"No, even if you don't have the ability, you can't even think of taking action against the person I love."

Reg's fists were stained with a jet-black weapon color, and he tried to break open the dead wood cage built by the king. As a result, Im's heavy eyes once again appeared in front of his eyes. It was this kind of irresistible gaze that made him unable to escape just now. Now it was even more pressing, making it difficult for him to move.

"Stop struggling, this is a gap in life levels."

"squeak"

Im was interrupted by an accident in the middle of what he was saying. After a harsh pulling sound, Reg had a hard time laughing under pressure and even had a ferocious face. He actually stretched out half of his body: "The life level is alive." For 800 years, relying on a broken tree, I really think I am a god."

Im, who was slightly surprised, looked at Reg with admiration and sympathy: "It's a pity that your willpower is amazing, but the result will not change."

"Is that right? If you give up your identity as a human and choose to live in symbiosis with the tree of life, you will also lose the abilities that you only have as a human."

"What you want to get, you have to pay for"

"That's good. I agree to the conditions and then I'll leave it to you, Joey Boy."

The moment Shasha, Shasha Lege finished speaking, the Tree of Life began to shake abnormally.

"Joyboy no, impossible tree of life, kill him"

Im's expression turned extremely gloomy as she murmured her name again. The tree of life, which was supposed to obey her orders, rebelled at the critical moment. Not only did it not hang Reg, it instead wrapped Reg's entire body in a circle. The ball is completely protected.

"Get out, what did you do?"

"Get out of here, this is my last thing, give it back to me"

"dong dong dong"

Im, who was even crying while shouting, hit the dead wood ball hard again and again. The force every time would cause the entire Mariejoia to tremble violently. Even if it was Whitebeard, it would not be able to do this.

Wow, wow! Im's movements didn't last for a few seconds, and then stopped in the sudden warm wind. It wasn't that he had no strength, but that the tree of life had sprouted.

"How is it possible? No, this is absolutely impossible."

In disbelief, Im suddenly looked back, only to realize that the lush forest behind him had withered, the colorful sea of ​​flowers withered, and the birds, animals, insects, and fish were also approaching the end of their lives.

The flower that had accompanied him for countless days and nights, as his last refuge, just disappeared. At the end of the silence of all things, you can clearly see the former guardians bowing their heads in silence, as well as the satisfaction of the originator. Guilty face.

Im, who was hit by this series of events and was at a loss what to do, could only vent all his doubts, anger, and pain on him: "Vegapunk, you are looking for death."
