Chapter 283

After the massive kingdom disappeared into the sea, Joyboy did not perish immediately.

At the twilight of his life, he penned a heartfelt letter to the princess of Fishman Island, the Poseidon of that era.

He deeply regretted ignoring the mermaid's earlier warnings, lamenting his failure to fulfill the grand promise he had made to the mermaid princess.

Along with the letter, he left behind a key to activate the preserved Terra.

And with that final act, he passed away, leaving behind a legacy steeped in sorrow and unfulfilled dreams~~~

Upon reading these revelations, Logan finally pieced together the truth of the ancient past.

If no unforeseen events occurred, the traitor of that time was none other than the now almighty Lord Im.

No wonder Im is so obsessed with the "Rubber Fruit"...

It turns out that this devil fruit is the only power capable of countering Uranus!

"Here are the startup instructions!" Robin exclaimed.

She had discovered a set of instructions inscribed on one of the robots.

"Interesting~~"

After a quick glance at the text, a sly smile spread across Robin's lips.

"What's so amusing?" Logan asked, a look of curiosity flashing across his face.

Robin explained, "According to these instructions, the key to activating these robots lies in assimilating them with the rubber ability while in Nika's form. Only then will they be fully operational."

"I see..." Logan murmured, nodding as if everything was beginning to fall into place.

Because according to the world of One Piece, Roger's crew had reached Raftel, but Logan... I arrived far too early!!!

Joyboy had yet to reappear!

But why does Joyboy need to return?

What makes Joyboy so vital?

Clearly, the mysterious Joyboy is, in fact, Nika~~~

Only Joyboy can activate this ancient Terra, as decreed by the world's forgotten history.

Yet now...

Logan can as well~~~

Logan had no desire to steal Luffy's title of Pirate King or anything of the sort.

But when it came to handling a super ancient weapon like Terra, Logan felt it was more sensible to activate it himself.

After all~~~

Luffy, that bumbling fool, who knows what disaster he might cause~~~?

With that thought, Logan immediately transformed into his Nika form~~~

White flames ignited, engulfing his hair, while the rest of his body blazed with an intense fire.

Using Nika's rubber assimilation power, Logan let the ability flow across the Terra machines.

After a few moments, he stepped back, withdrawing from his Nika form.

"It seems there's no response...?" Logan muttered, his lips curling in frustration. It seemed nothing had changed.

Is it really necessary for Luffy, the protagonist himself, to show up in person? Just then... Buzz!

A sudden metallic clanging echoed across the chamber.

Logan and Robin snapped their heads around, their faces quickly shifting to expressions of shock.

Acting swiftly, Logan grabbed Robin by the arm and leaped back a hundred meters in an instant!

After all, these were the advanced technologies of the massive kingdom that existed 800 years ago. Who could predict what might happen once these machines were activated~~~ Even with the written instructions, there was no guarantee that everything would go according to plan!

The mechanical hum grew louder, the synchronized sound of machines stirring to life.

At least a hundred Terra robots stood in formation, their eyes glowing as proof of their activation.

"Master!"

In the next moment, these Terra robots knelt before Logan.

It was as if an army of soldiers awaited his command.

"Success?" Logan leaned forward, suspicion etched across his face, his gaze fixed on the Terra robots.

He turned his attention to the leading robot. "What are your specific abilities?"

"A multitude, Master," the robot replied without hesitation.

"Can you demonstrate?" Logan asked.

"Yes, Master," the robot captain saluted again, then pointed to a distant building ruin. "Master, what I shall demonstrate for you now is the energy wave."

Energy wave?

Logan's brow furrowed slightly. It must be something similar to the laser beams used by the Seraphim.

It didn't seem to be anything particularly groundbreaking.

As Logan mulled over this thought, the robot's eyes blinked~~~

Whoosh!

A wave of energy shot forth from the robot's eyes, zooming toward the ruins in the distance.

But as the energy wave appeared, Logan's eyes widened in shock, and he couldn't help but blurt out words of disbelief~~~

The energy wave was no mere laser beam.

Instead, it was a swirling double helix, a fusion of fire and ice, with a laser beam encasing the spiral like a shell!!

Around it, arcs of electric energy danced wildly!!!

Not only that, Logan sensed yet another force embedded within the wave—something far more powerful and unique than the lightning.

It was the vibrations of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!!!

This meant that...

This seemingly ordinary energy wave contained the powers of the Flame-Flame Fruit, the Ice Fruit, the Light Fruit, the Lightning Fruit, and the Tremor-Tremor Fruit!!!

As the wave struck the ruins, the structure erupted in a violent explosion!!!

But it wasn't just a simple blast~~~

Logan, with his Observation Haki fully unleashed, could perceive every detail of the energy wave's destruction.

The first force to act was the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power!!!

In that instant, the ruins were utterly pulverized!!!

Next came the fiery and icy energies, tearing the fragments apart even further!

Finally, the combined forces of the laser and lightning erupted, obliterating the remnants entirely!!!

The building vanished in a single, devastating moment.

In the aftermath, silence fell upon the scene.

Where the ruins once stood, only a vast, charred crater remained~~~

It was as if a giant black pit had always been there...

Logan's mouth twitched in awe~~

Compared to this fearsome energy wave, the Seraphim's laser beams were mere child's play!

Logan couldn't help but think that even if the robots only possessed this energy wave ability, this army alone would be enough to conquer Marineford effortlessly!!!
