Chapter 482: Defeat the Black Robe Remnants and Fight the Lord of Darkness of Space and Time
Luffy activated the "Snake Man" form of Gear Fourth and rushed towards the dark beast: "Rubber rubber? White snake? Crazy combo!" His arms attacked the dark beast as fast as a white snake, but the beast's defense was very strong, and Luffy's attack could only leave some shallow marks on it.
Zoro looked at the monster, his eyes became sharper: "Three sword style? Secret? Attraction of all things? Demon slaying!" His sword light seemed to have a strong gravitational force, attracting the monster, and then slashed it fiercely, and the monster let out a roar.
Kuina used "Tianyuan Sword Technique? Time and Space Slash? Monster Break", her sword drew a mysterious trajectory in time and space, slashing at the monster's vitals. The Nine Snake Warriors concentrated their firepower and attacked the monster's eyes and other weak points. Hancock used "Fragrant Kick? Monster Smash", her legs were powerful, and each kick could cause huge damage to the monster.
Under the joint attack of everyone, the dark monster gradually lost. However, the leader of the black robes increased the output of magic power to the monster, and the monster became more violent.
"This is not a solution. We have to attack the leader of the black-robed man." Ling Tian shouted.
Luffy and the others understood what he meant. They changed their tactics and rushed towards the leader of the black robes. Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the black robes wanted to escape, but Luffy had already come to him: "Rubber rubber? Great Ape King Spear? End of time and space!" His fist with great force blasted towards the leader of the black robes. This punch contained Luffy's anger and determination, and hit the chest of the leader of the black robes directly, knocking him out.
Zoro, Kuina, Hancock and the Nine Snakes warriors also took the opportunity to launch an attack and defeated all the black-robed people around the black-robed leader. The black-robed leader struggled to stand up, but was too weak to fight.
“You… won’t succeed…” The leader of the black-robed men said this and fell to the ground.
With the defeat of the leader of the black robes, the dark beasts also disappeared. They successfully repelled the remnants of the black robes and continued to move towards the clock tower.
When they approached the clock tower, they were stunned by the sight. The clock tower was soaring into the sky, and the tower was surrounded by countless gears and springs, which were constantly turning and emitting a mysterious light.
"This is the Clock Tower. How do we start the repair ceremony?" Luffy asked while looking at the Clock Tower.
Ling Tian searched for clues around the tower and found some ancient runes and patterns. After research, he found that he needed to inject specific energy into several key nodes of the tower base to start the repair ceremony.
"We need to find these energy sources." Ling Tian said.
They explored around the clock tower and found some mysterious crystal veins. These crystals contained powerful energy, which was exactly what they needed.
However, there is a strong protective force around the crystal veins. Some crystal giants guard the veins. They are huge and powerful.
Luffy rushed towards the Crystal Giant: "Rubber Rubber? Bazooka? Crystal Impact!" His feet kicked at the Crystal Giant like a cannonball, but the Crystal Giant just shook slightly. Zoro used "Three Swords Flow? Flowing Water Slash? Crystal Shatter", his sword swung smoothly like in the water, slashing the Crystal Giant, leaving some marks.
Kuina and the Nine Snakes used their agility to find the Crystal Giant's weakness. Hancock used "Sweet Sweet Wind? Sweet Temptation" to try to confuse the Crystal Giant, but the Crystal Giant seemed unaffected.
During the battle, they found that the weakness of the crystal giants was at the bottom of their feet. There was an energy core there, and as long as they attacked there, they could cause great damage to the crystal giants.
Luffy and his team developed a new tactic based on this weakness. They focused on attacking the soles of the Crystal Giant's feet, successfully defeated the Crystal Giant, and obtained the energy in the crystal.
They injected energy into the key nodes of the clock tower's base, and the clock tower began to emit a dazzling light. The repair ceremony started, and the cracks in time and space began to gradually repair themselves.
But at this moment, a mysterious black shadow appeared at the top of the clock tower. This black shadow exuded a strong dark aura, and its appearance made the entire clock tower tremble.
"Another enemy?" Zoro gripped his sword tightly, ready to fight.
The shadow slowly spoke: "Do you think you can stop everything like this? The chaos of time and space has just begun. I am the Lord of Darkness of Time and Space. I will use this chaos to reshape the world."
Luffy looked at the shadow and shouted, "We won't let you succeed!"
They rushed towards the black shadow and started a thrilling battle with the Lord of Darkness. The Lord of Darkness cast a powerful dark magic, and dark beams shot towards them. Luffy and others dodged the attack and looked for opportunities to counterattack.
Luffy activated the "Tank Man" form of Gear 4 and rolled towards the Lord of Darkness: "Rubber Rubber? Giant Impact? Dark Crush!" His body hit the Lord of Darkness like a huge cannonball. Zoro used "Three Swords Style? Secret Technique? Three Thousand Worlds? Light Slash", and his sword light was like a ray of light, slashing towards the Lord of Darkness, trying to dispel the darkness.
Kuina used "Tengen Sword Technique: Light of Chaos", and a chaotic light appeared on her sword, stabbing at the Lord of Darkness. The Nine Snake Warriors shot with bows and arrows, and each arrow contained the power of hope. Hancock used "Haowang Haki: Realm of Light", and her domineering aura enveloped the entire battlefield, trying to suppress the power of the Lord of Darkness.
The Lord of Darkness sneered, and his dark power became even stronger. He summoned countless dark ghosts, which rushed towards Luffy and others, trying to erode their souls.
Under the attack of the dark ghost, Luffy and others felt as if their souls were grabbed by cold hands. But they did not give up. They encouraged each other and continued to fight the Lord of Darkness.
During the battle, Luffy discovered that the power of the Lord of Darkness came from the Dark Scepter in his hand. As long as the scepter was destroyed, his power would be weakened.
Luffy rushed towards the Lord of Darkness, trying to attack his scepter. The Lord of Darkness sensed Luffy's intention, and he used the power of darkness to protect the scepter and launched a more violent attack.
Zoro, Kuina, Hancock and the Nine Snake Warriors help Luffy. They attract the attention of the Lord of Darkness and create opportunities for Luffy.
Luffy finally found an opportunity under the cover of his companions. "Rubber rubber? Great Ape King Spear? Fist of Light!" His fist, with the powerful power of light, blasted towards the scepter of the Lord of Darkness. This punch hit the scepter, and a crack appeared on it.
The Lord of Darkness roared, and his power began to weaken. Luffy and others took the opportunity to launch a more fierce attack. Zoro used "Three Swords Style? Secret? Renewal of All Things? Light Break", and his sword light was like a new sun, slashing at the Lord of Darkness. Kuina used "Tengen Sword Technique? Light of Space and Time? Dissipation of Darkness", and her sword drew a bright trajectory in space and time, stabbing at the Lord of Darkness. The Nine Snakes concentrated their firepower and shot at the Lord of Darkness. Hancock used "Fragrant Kick? Destruction of Darkness", and her legs were powerful, and each kick could cause great damage to the Lord of Darkness.
