One Piece: My Crew is from Other World

Chapter 312: Im Takes Action and the Dragon Hunter Retreats!



Ryuunosuke's aura wavered for just a moment.

A sharp pain shot through his chest as a sword pierced him clean through. His golden eyes turned downward to see a blade covered in gray Haki and destruction energy jutting out of him.

Before him stood a young man—expressionless, silent, deadly.

"So fast…" Ryuunosuke muttered. "Is this… the Heavenly King's power?"

He looked into the youth's cold eyes, then chuckled.

"Ah… so that's what this is. A fragment of the Infinity Stones… the Destruction Path."

With one hand, Ryuunosuke seized the young man by the neck and lifted him off the ground.

"Seize."

In an instant, a surge of black and purple energy enveloped Ryuunosuke's arm—Chrollo's stolen technique, the power to claim abilities.

Normally, he avoided using it. Most powers weren't worth taking. But this… this energy of pure destruction fascinated him.

He had sensed something similar once—on Kuina's Infinite White Stone.

"You… you know about the Infinity Stones?" Im asked, her composed voice breaking for the first time. Surprise flickered in her eyes.

Ryuunosuke smirked.

"I know enough."

The young man in his grasp shriveled like dried leather, his life force absorbed in seconds. Ryuunosuke tossed the husk aside.

In his hand gleamed a pale, five-centimeter shard of white crystal.

The Infinite White Stone.

Im's eyes widened ever so slightly. That boy had been one of her creations—her weapons. His blade had pierced Ryuunosuke… yet here he stood, completely unfazed.

There was only one explanation.

Ryuunosuke possessed resistance to the Infinity Stones' power.

She wasn't just facing a pirate.

She was facing something far worse.

"Ryuunosuke," Im said slowly, "join us."

Her words fell like a storm of petals—soft, yet dangerous.

"I'll grant you a position above even the Five Elders. You could rule the world with me."

Ryuunosuke's brow twitched, but his eyes remained steady.

He didn't come here for negotiations.

He came for war.

"To rule the world…?" he said quietly. "You really think I'd abandon my crew and everything we've built for that?"

A short laugh escaped him.

"I refuse."

"The World Government's ideals are nothing like mine. Whatever you're planning, my Dragon Hunter Pirates will oppose it to the very end."

"There's no turning back now."

A flicker of relief passed through his features, like a man finally freeing himself from doubt.

He had hesitated—briefly.

But now, the path was clear.

To stand beside Im would be like shaking hands with a devil. He knew he wasn't clever enough to outmaneuver a being like her. She'd been playing this game for centuries, maybe longer.

No. Trusting her was suicide in slow motion.

"I see," Im said flatly. "Then you'll die here."

She raised her hand.

Dozens of glowing orbs of water floated into the air, surrounding her like a halo.

Behind her, a dark aura surged—a familiar, suffocating presence.

"That aura again…" Ryuunosuke narrowed his eyes. "Is this another replica of the Heavenly King?"

Or was this the real one?

He had read about this moment in Rocks D. Xebec's journal.

Back then, during the infamous raid on Mary Geoise, Rocks had made it this far… only to be stopped by a mysterious man standing in front of Im.

There had been talk of the Heavenly King. A monstrous, colossal body.

But now, there was no giant. No titan standing behind Im.

Had the form changed?

Or had the King of Heaven been hiding in plain sight this entire time?

Regardless, Ryuunosuke knew one thing—he couldn't underestimate the woman before him.

If the Five Elders had such frightening strength, then the one they bowed to must be in a league of her own.

"You know about the Heavenly King?" Im asked.

"Then allow me to kill you with its power."

She snapped her fingers.

The floating spheres of water twisted and warped into serpentine dragon heads, each one snarling with destructive intent.

"Azure Sky Blade!"

Ryuunosuke raised his weapon high. A chilling blast of cold erupted from the blade, freezing the very air around him.

The water-dragons lunged.

But before they could reach him, they froze mid-flight—ice engulfing their heads, their long bodies shattering into frozen mist.

BOOM!

The explosion followed immediately after.

The frozen water-dragons detonated, sending shockwaves across the battlefield.

Debris tore through the ground. A powerful shockwave engulfed Ryuunosuke, crackling with elemental fury. But when the dust settled—

He was still standing.

His black armor shimmered with Haki. Cracks lined his boots and shoulders, but there were no wounds.

His body hadn't just endured the attack—it had absorbed it.

Armament Haki. Dragon-Hunter Armor. Mental enhancement. Devouring absorption.

He had layered every defense he had.

And it worked.

"So you survived," Im said coolly. "Impressive."

"Then I'll use my full power."

"Heavenly King—Arise."

The world shifted.

Darkness fell like a curtain.

A glowing aura wrapped itself around Im's body. And when it faded, she stood clad in armor unlike any seen before—a divine suit shimmering with cosmic power.

It was the Heavenly King's mantle.

A force that had once razed islands, erased armies, and crushed pirate fleets with a single blow.

Ryuunosuke's eyes narrowed.

Im vanished.

So did Ryuunosuke.

A deafening boom shattered the air as the two vanished into a higher realm of combat, far above the battlefield.

---

Back on the ground, Meliodas grinned.

"The captain's going all out… Guess it's our turn."

He drew his divine weapon—Lost Vengeance—as black lightning crackled across his body. Cursed magic surged through his veins, forming jagged runes across his skin.

With a single step, he vanished.

A second later—BOOM!

An explosion tore through Mary Geoise.

From the sky, Enel hovered over the battlefield.

Lightning danced across his skin as he activated the Ship of God from afar.

"Main battery—fire."

"Shino, Mine—snipe the defenders."

The colossal warship, hidden until now, roared into action. It soared above Mary Geoise and began its bombardment.

Cannon after cannon fired, sending destruction down upon the World Government's last defenses.

The Five Elders were powerless to stop it.

Mary Geoise was crumbling.

Burning.

Collapsing.

Then—

"Withdraw!"

Ryuunosuke's voice boomed from the sky like the will of a god.

Every remaining member of the Dragon Hunter Pirates vanished in a flash, retreating aboard the Ship of God.

Enel grinned.

"Here's a parting gift!"

BOOM!

A final shockwave erupted from the ship's cannons, engulfing what remained of the Holy Land.

The Ship of God disappeared into the clouds.

Silence followed.

And then—Ryuunosuke reappeared on the scorched battlefield, alone.
