The whole body was shrouded in a pitch-black robe, revealing only a pair of eyes, and the pupils were blood-colored, with circles of lines entwined.

There was a mysterious aura all over Zhou's body, staring at Xia Ming, who was climbing the steps.

Forty years of empire.

The holy capital of Amine is full of people, and the lively sound of fireworks resounds everywhere.

Everyone was feeling excited and excited about the new king's accession to the throne, especially the new king, who was also the son of the founding emperor Chale.

As the biological son of the founding emperor Xia Le, he did not rely on any power from his father, but alone, step by step, to this point.

If we talk about his life, it can also be said to be ups and downs.

When Xia Ming was at his lowest, he used to work in the Navy cooking class, responsible for the soldiers' food. And his colleagues, they don't even know their identity.

To this day, he has reached the top step by step.

This step, like his life, has been crossed step by step.

Countless people are watching this scene, and their hearts are also inexplicable.

The second Great Emperor Kuzan, standing silently in a corner with his hands folded, looking at Xia Ming, who is now at his peak, the outside that resembles Xia Le, is in a complicated mood for a while.

Kirby, the third emperor, was also present, his eyes full of encouragement.

As the son of the Founding Emperor, Xia Ming's efforts can even be said to be not inferior to him.

Coupled with that excellent talent, it is not surprising that it has come to this point.

The wind is blowing gently, and the blue ears and sky symbolize today's auspiciousness.

Xia Ming walked to the highest point step by step, until he stood there and took the crown and golden scepter handed by the other party's hands.

"Dang!"

The golden bell of the holy capital rang, and the melodious bell slowly spread, echoing in everyone's ears.

Everyone's expressions changed, excited, excited, nervous, and their eyes were all fixed on the figure at the apex.

Xia Ming took a deep breath, put the crown in his hand on the top of his head, and then slowly raised the golden scepter.

At this moment, his whole person was in a trance.

In such an environment, it is impossible to stay calm and awake at all. After a lot of hardships, he finally achieved his dream, and he even felt a little unreal.

"I finally did it!"

"Father, you see, I have achieved the same level as you!"

"Without relying on your strength, only by my own efforts, I have also become the king of this country!"

"Like you, I will manage, understand, and carefully observe the people of this world!"

Xia Ming's heart was surging, and his whole body was trembling slightly.

He'd been looking forward to this moment for too long, and he'd put too much effort into it.

The moment the goal is achieved, I even want to cry.

This emotional fluctuation numbs and dulls his senses.

All of them were also immersed in the lively atmosphere of the new king's accession to the throne, and they could not get out of it, and they raised their right hands high, making their most excited voices.

Xia Ming's voice is undoubtedly high, and his approval rating is quite large.

This young man who resembles the Founding Emperor will remind countless people of the invincible Emperor as long as he stands there.

However, since the abdication, there has been no other figure in this world.

At this moment of universal celebration, a dark shadow suddenly flashed in a corner of the audience.

The shadow quickly distorted at a strange angle, turning into a sharp thorn, and in an instant, it flashed black and red, stabbing towards Xia Ming, who was immersed in life perception on the steps.

No one noticed this scene, and no one sounded a warning.

In just an instant, this sharp hook stab became more powerful and faster, and when it reached Xia Ming's front, it suddenly refracted and stabbed towards his neck.

"Ahh

Screams rang out, and someone finally spotted the strange and sudden sneak attack.

Xia Ming raised his head, his pupils constricted.

What caught my eye was a dazzling black and red, sharp as the tip of a knife, bursting out with a cold sense of coldness.

"Danger!!"

Kirby yelled.

Kuzan changes color, and he is about to rush up the steps.

But undoubtedly, in the face of this fatal and swift blow, Xia Ming had no time to dodge. And this blow is aimed at the most fragile neck of the human body.

Tragedy, it's coming!

Suddenly.

"Buzz!"

The violent domineering aura suddenly radiated out, and in just an instant, it enveloped the entire Amien Holy Capital, and this aura was still moving farther away.

Everything stands still.

Everyone's eyes widened, shocked by this vast, majestic breath.

Thunder flashed and landed in front of Xia Ming.

Then, a figure stepped out of thunder and lightning, stabbing at the black and red hook in front of him, and threw a punch violently.

"Bang!"

A heavy crash was heard, and the black and red hooks were knocked into the air and soared into the sky.

Xia Ming finally reacted, his eyes burst out with a fierce light, and he looked downward, instantly locking on the figure shrouded in black robes.

At this time, of course, the people around also reacted, and retreated to both sides.

A large number of imperial troops surrounded this place in a blink of an eye, and the strong people gathered locked on the mysterious figure in unison.

At the same time, their eyes were also looking at the body on the high platform, blocking Xia Ming's front.

I saw the other party, the whole body was shrouded in thunder and lightning, and his face was majestic, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

"That's?!"

When they saw it clearly, someone screamed.

"Founding Emperor!!"

"It's Charlot!"

"He's alive!"

"Of course he is still alive, if calculated by age, the Great Emperor is already eighty or ninety years old this year, but it is unimaginable that he is so young!"

“······”

The scene began to boil.

The appearance of the Founding Emperor shocked everyone.

Especially when the other party stood there, together with Xia Ming, the father and son were even more like each other.

"This look!"

"He's not still at the peak of his combat power, is he?"

Someone was shocked.

With a burly body, strong and full muscles, and Xia Le's face, it is really unreminiscent that he is already an old man in his eighties and nineties.

"Could it be that the legend is true?"

It's been forty years since the empire, and the legends of Charlotte have almost dissipated, and most of them are just rumors about themselves, making it impossible to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

"You've finally shown up!"

Xia Le was condescending and said lightly.

"There should be an end between you and me."

The figure wrapped in a black robe said in a deep voice.

The eyes that were only exposed, when they saw the young face of the other party, they couldn't help but show a touch of shock.

After so many years, the other party is still like this, and it has not changed in the slightest.

"It's time for a closure!"

"I've been waiting for you for too long!"

Xia Le nodded and sighed softly.

"Father, who is he?"

Xia Ming asked.

"The remnants of the old times."

"The man behind the world government."

"His name is Im."

Speaking of this, Xia Le looked down.

"Ling's full name seems to be that he should be called Nairona Im?"

Yimu was noncommittal, but said lightly: "It's just the name, it doesn't matter to me anymore!" ”

Xia Le laughed.

"Let's find a place!"

"This battle will decide to whom the world belongs!"

Imu said lightly.

Xia Le's eyes narrowed slightly, and then nodded slightly.

"That's what I mean!"

Eventually, the battlefield was set on a deserted island in the New World, not far from the Holy Amine.

There are only two people on the island.

Pheasants, Yellow Apes, Klockdahl, Vine Tigers, Barrett and other figures of the older generation surround the island, quietly gazing at the situation on the island.

"In the final battle forty years ago, only Imu didn't show up, but I didn't expect it to appear today!"

"He's waiting for Charlotte to be old and weak."

"What a cunning, cunning fellow!"

The people present were not simple characters, so they naturally saw through Imu's plan at a glance.

"For more than forty years, Xia Le has never shot again, his strength."

The yellow ape hesitated.

Xia Ming next to him turned his head, with some worry in his eyes: "Uncle Polusalino, father, how strong is he!" ”

"This battle, why don't you let me come!"

As the emperor of this generation, Xia Ming was naturally the strongest of his contemporaries.

"How strong?"

Klockdahl laughed, his eyes filled with emotion and excitement.

"He's invincible!"

When the words fell, Xia Ming was stunned, and the others laughed one after another.

Yes, he is invincible!

This invincibility is not a self-proclaimed, but determined by the times, there is no doubt about it.

Immediately afterward, everyone felt that the sea breeze above their heads suddenly became stronger.

In just over ten breaths, it turned into a violent wind and whistled out.

"Sting!"

Black-red lightning rose from the island floor and rushed into the sky in the blink of an eye.

Immediately after, two violent and powerful auras suddenly erupted, and then collided fiercely.

"Boom!"

The island trembled, and two blinding rays of light burst out, radiating from the center of the island towards the surroundings.

"Boom, boom, boom!"

After that, a continuous stream of bombardment was heard.

The sound of thunder shook people's heads dizzy, and the sea water on the surface of the sea fell into a strong uneasiness and fluctuated violently.

Xia Ming looked at the island in front of him in a daze, the two rapidly flashing and colliding figures, and fell into a deep shock.

Although my father is young in appearance, he is not young.

At this moment, Kuzan, Polusalino and other uncles who were standing next to him and his father's generation were already looking old.

But such an old age person can burst out with such terrifying domineering and power.

And what shocked him even more was that the person named Imu, if not wrong, seemed to be from the previous era.

Flames, thunder, and dust quickly churned between the islands ahead, erupting into a loud and chaotic sound.

The war between Charlot and Imu is at a fever pitch.

Huang Ape and the others stood on the warship, quietly staring at the war ahead, their faces serious and solemn.

I have to admit that Yimu's strength is far greater than that of the five old stars, and in this world, perhaps only Xia Le can resist the other party.

The battle lasted a long time.

The war between the two lasted for half a month.

When Xia Le was covered in blood, holding a head in his right hand, jumped high and landed in front of everyone, a burst of laughter came out.

"It's over!"

Klockdahl muttered.

Compared with the battle forty years ago, the battle between Charlotte and Yimu can be called the final battle.

It is conceivable that if Imu wins this war, with the terrifying power of the other side, no one will be able to stop the other side in this era.

That's when the world government will make a comeback.

The crowd returned to the holy capital of Ameen, and everything was calm again.

Xia Le sat in the chair under the maple tree, and he looked extremely calm.

Imu was finally solved, and although there were many dangers during the battle, he defused them all and cut off the opponent's head.

Quiet in the yard.

For a long time.

"Alas~"

A long sigh came out, and Xia Le sat there with a look of amazement on his face.

Yimu's solution completely reassured him, and a stone finally landed. But it also meant that he had nothing to do.

His heart became empty, and he didn't know what to do or what to think for a while.

"What kind of world would I go to if I gave up everything here?"

Xia Le thought.

He began to expect the system to give him another choice.

But time passed, and ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

The subtitles that appeared when he was in the position of marshal still do not resurface.

Xia Le's heart was already very old, and he became even more numb.

So much has happened in this decade.

The older generation has all left. The yellow ape, pheasant, and Barrett of the same generation also passed away one after another.

Xia Le looked at it, and his former relatives and friends turned into cold stone tablets, and flowers were placed in front of the stone tablets.

His son has done a good job in the position of the emperor, and the world is developing better and better.

In recent years, archaeology has taken off, with adventure teams traveling around the world by boat to discover treasures from the past.

He had heard that over the years, someone had arrived at the former Ralph Drew, the final island of One Piece Roger.

And the empire has recently decided to explore the moon.

Under the leadership of Vegapunk, science and technology are becoming stronger and more advanced, and Xia Le has already seen a little bit of what his previous life looked like.

The clock goes on.

Fifty-five years of empire.

Xia Le sat quietly in the cemetery, without sorrow or joy.

As far as the eye can see, there are familiar names, including his wife, Boya Hancock.

And he himself is still as young as twenty years old, in his prime.

Xia Le is confused, when all his relatives are gone, even if he has invincible strength, what can he do?

"Father!"

The old man's voice came, and Xia Le turned around.

As far as the eye can see, it is the face of his son who is already a little old, and the white hair on the temples shows that the other party is not young.

Looking to the side, it was her second daughter and her husband's family, and behind her were a bunch of children.

"It's time for you to abdicate!"

Xia Le said softly.

Then, he stroked the other person's face.

"Spend time with your children."

Xia Ming was stunned, and after being silent for a long time, he nodded slightly.

He's been in this position for too long.

The following year, Xia Ming abdicated and a new emperor took office.

The empire seems to have entered a new cycle.

Xia Le stayed in his small courtyard and never went out again.

Until the death of his children, the death of his children's children, the empire for a hundred years in the blink of an eye.

By this time, he had become history, legends, and even his own bloodline no longer knew him.

Only this courtyard has always remained.

In the past hundred years, the empire has risen and fallen, and once collapsed and fell apart, but it was reunited by one of Luffy's descendants.

Fredham gave them the belief of great unity, and from then on, whenever the kingdom was divided, anyone in them would have a unified faith.

The clock goes on.

One hundred and fifty years of the empire, Xia Le still hasn't seen the subtitles, he is still in the prime of life like he is in his twenties.

In the two hundred years of the empire, the world has changed dramatically.

Two hundred and sixty years of the empire.

The outside world has become completely unfamiliar, as if it has changed into another world, Xia Le walked out of the holy capital of Amine and traveled all over the world.

Twenty years later, he returned to the small courtyard and waited quietly.

Until the three hundred years of the empire.

Xia Le's eyes froze, and his entire body stiffened.

I saw a subtitle, flashing with crystal brilliance, appearing in front of his eyes.

"Wealth, fame, power, power, all these things that you have worked so hard to obtain, are you willing to give up?"

"Then, start a new life of your own?"

Xia Le smiled, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly.
