One Piece: I wield thunder and lightning

Although Nicholas was covered in blood, his aura had reached its peak. Even though it was a three-way battle, his opponents were ultimately a single entity. Despite being hostile to each other, they often subconsciously targeted him during the fight.

He was severely injured, but the other two Imus were not in good shape either.

The monstrous Imu was also riddled with wounds, and even three of its wings had been broken. Normally, these injuries would not be a big deal for Imu and could heal almost instantly. But now, black lightning was flickering in its wounds, preventing its body from healing.

As for the Imu from the past, her once elegant gown had long been torn to shreds during the battle, exposing large areas of pale skin to the air. She was also severely wounded, but her aura, like Nicholas's, continued to rise, clearly showing that the battle had excited her to the point of trembling.

"Nicholas, you're dead!"

The monstrous Imu growled. She was determined to kill Nicholas, the one who had turned her into this state.

The Imu from the past, however, was more cautious. Nicholas was the greatest enemy she had ever faced, and she also wanted to eliminate the monstrous Imu. But given her strength, this would be extremely difficult.

Nicholas, on the other hand, had a clear goal: to kill Imu!

"Kill!"

With a roar, he erupted with lightning, the surrounding electric energy surging wildly. Holding his long sword, he charged straight at the monstrous Imu.

"Hmm?"

The monstrous Imu was caught off guard. She had just finished her taunt and was about to make her move when Nicholas unexpectedly attacked her directly. Was this guy really so unpredictable?

In a panic, Imu hurriedly defended herself.

Slash!

Amidst the dazzling sword light, the monstrous Imu's arm was almost severed, leaving a deep gash down to the bone on her forearm.

"You…"

The monstrous Imu roared in fury, but before she could say anything, Nicholas was already upon her again. Forced to retreat, the monstrous Imu flapped her remaining wings to move back.

She had no choice but to evade Nicholas's onslaught because those guys, seeing her struggle against Nicholas, were growing restless again. They clearly understood that if Nicholas managed to kill Imu, they would be plunged into darkness once more, something they could not afford.

Similarly, the past Imu's face changed as she swiftly attacked Nicholas. If the present Imu were killed by Nicholas, she too would disappear, as her ability to traverse the river of time relied on the present Imu. If the present Imu ceased to exist, she would be forced to return to her original timeline.

This was something she could not tolerate. The monstrous Imu had to die, but it had to be by her own hand!

"Get lost!"

Nicholas launched a powerful strike to push back the approaching past Imu. He focused on the monstrous Imu. Given its current weakened state, once he defeated it, this war would be over.

Despite his severe injuries, Nicholas unleashed a terrifying force.

"You…"

The past Imu shattered Nicholas's attack directed at her. Nicholas's disregard for her filled her with a sense of humiliation, a humiliation that could only be washed away with his blood!

"Die!"

The past Imu let out a low growl and rushed at Nicholas.

"I may not be interested in you right now, but that doesn't mean you can do whatever you want!"

As Nicholas spoke, a bolt of lightning flashed behind him, rapidly taking on his appearance and charging at the past Imu, surrounded by gathering lightning.

Although this clone wasn't strong enough to defeat the past Imu, it could delay her temporarily.

"You dare underestimate me!" the past Imu said coldly.

But Nicholas had no time for her feelings. He and the monstrous Imu were now locked in a final, decisive battle, and he needed to end it swiftly with a thunderous strike.

The thunder roared, and the beast howled.

Both Nicholas and the monstrous Imu were covered in wounds, their blood spilling freely. Their fierce clash shattered the air, the energy waves surging wildly as they fought to the death.

"Roar…"

At this moment, the monstrous Imu let out a roar, and her body suddenly began to swell and grow. Soon, a massive wolf head appeared before Nicholas, its dense black fur bristling, and huge coral-like horns protruding from its head. Its body, covered in scales like a horse, had enormous wings that blocked out the sky, and its tail was a dragon's.

At the forehead of this monstrous wolf, Imu's upper body was tightly connected to it.

The giant wolf opened its bloody maw, lunging at Nicholas.

With the giant wolf's mouth wide open, an overwhelming suction force emanated from it, drawing everything around into its maw. Even light was being sucked in, unable to escape—it was truly terrifying.

In the face of this devouring force, Nicholas summoned the lightning in the heavens, bombarding the giant wolf relentlessly.

Yet, the fierce lightning strikes did nothing to slow the giant wolf's advance.

The enormous wolf head, its mouth wide open, seemed to contain a dark void capable of swallowing everything. Billions of tons of seawater were devoured in a single gulp.

The sea around them suddenly had a massive void, stretching for hundreds of miles, revealing the bare seabed.

Seeing this terrifying devouring power, Nicholas hesitated no longer. He placed his long sword horizontally in front of him and pressed his left hand against the back of the blade. With an invisible wave, a tremendous repelling force surged toward the giant wolf's mouth.

The terrifying suction and the invisible repulsion collided silently in the air.

Even the space between them twisted and shattered as the force reached its limit, causing the surrounding area to collapse.

Even Nicholas had not expected the monstrous Imu to be so ferocious.

Roar!

The roar echoed across the sea, shaking the Grand Line.

In the distance, the spectators, hidden in the shadows, were terrified by this scene. They couldn't comprehend just how terrifying those combatants truly were.

They also began to understand why the Celestial Dragons had ruled the world for 800 years. Even now, with the combined strength of the sea's most powerful forces, the war in Mary Geoise was still incredibly tough.

"Roar!"

But Nicholas had no time to care about those spectators. Faced with the rampaging Imu, he could no longer be distracted. His battle with Imu had reached a fever pitch.

"Kill!"

Nicholas's eyes flashed with electric light, sharp and fierce. He gripped his sword and charged at the monstrous Imu.

Slash!

In an instant, he seemed to teleport onto Imu's back, his lightning-charged sword ruthlessly slicing at the base of Imu's wings.

Splash!

Blood sprayed into the sky as the massive wing fell into the sea, causing a tremendous wave.

After severing the huge wing, Nicholas didn't hesitate and aimed his sword at the back of the monstrous Imu's neck.

The monstrous Imu roared in pain, and her tail, like a dragon's, lashed out at Nicholas.

Facing the dragon's bite, Nicholas turned, changing his strike aimed at Imu's neck to one targeting the dragon's head, slashing it away.

Using the force of this blow, Nicholas propelled himself backward.

Now, hovering in the air, Nicholas coldly stared at Imu.

Imu, positioned on the monstrous creature's forehead, also glared at Nicholas.

Her eyes were blood-red, her body trembling with rage, reflecting the intensity of her emotions.

After a brief silence, the giant creature suddenly reached out with its claw, grabbing at Nicholas.

With the swipe of the claw, the space around them seemed to shatter, disintegrate, and collapse, with black mist swirling around the claw as it struck at Nicholas.

Roar!

The terrifying roar of the beast and the menacing claw swept forward.

Nicholas couldn't stay indifferent to such a terrifying attack. Almost at the moment of the attack, his body erupted in brilliant lightning, exuding a powerful aura.

Boom!

An earth-shattering clash erupted as their attacks collided!

Crack!

Nicholas's left arm was torn off, blood spurting out, but he also managed to sever the beast's claw.

Roar!

The beast's roar resonated, the terrifying sound waves almost tangible, reverberating in the sky. Even distant islands heard the terrifying sound.

People on those islands stared blankly at the sky, unsure of what the sound was.

Splash!

Almost simultaneously, the past Imu, having broken free from Nicholas's clone, appeared on the beast's forehead.

She raised her right fist and ruthlessly punched the Imu connected to the beast's forehead.

With this sudden strike, the monstrous Imu's head was instantly smashed open and then exploded.

After the monstrous Imu's head was blown apart, the giant creature became uncontrollably violent.

The headless monstrous Imu used its arms to tightly hold onto the past Imu, while the wolf's fur seemed to come alive, wrapping around the past Imu, preventing her from escaping.

Seeing this, Nicholas didn't hesitate any longer.

He instantly moved, and his right hand made a shooting gesture as the long sword vanished from his grasp.

In Nicholas's vision, two spiraling electric arcs, parallel to his arm, stretched toward the distant sun.

Simultaneously, Nicholas established a connection with the planet's magnetic field.

"It's over!"

With Nicholas's whisper, the enormous monster, along with the past Imu, was tightly bound by the magnetic field.

"You dare!"

Sensing something amiss, Imu from the past let out a furious roar, desperately trying to break free from the magnetic field.

However, the force generated by the magnetic field, which enveloped the entire planet, was far beyond what Imu could contend with. Engulfed in flames, the monstrous creature, as large as an island, accelerated rapidly towards the sky.

As it soared higher, the surrounding atmosphere parted, and the intense friction caused by its speed enveloped the creature in flames. At that moment, countless people on the sea below witnessed a burning meteor shooting into the sky.

Both the monstrous Imu and the past Imu struggled desperately, but they were firmly locked in place by Nicholas. In the void, arcs of electricity intertwined, forming invisible chains that tightly bound the creature.

Roaring in despair, the giant wolf fought with all its might to escape, but in the face of the planet's immense power, its struggles were futile.

On the Red Line, the remaining Five Elders and the high-ranking Celestial Dragons wore grim expressions. Their once-invincible leader had been defeated. They all simultaneously sensed that disaster was imminent.

Yet they were trapped, blocked by the figures of Sengoku, Dragon, and others, with no hope of escape.

Nicholas, uninterested in what was happening on the Red Line, gazed down at the blue planet below before pushing Imu, now a colossal monster, further toward the sun using the magnetic field.

Once Imu entered the sun's gravitational pull, Nicholas finally breathed a sigh of relief. If Imu managed to escape from the sun, Nicholas would have no choice but to take his crew and become space pirates.

Gazing at the shrinking form of Imu, Nicholas exhaled deeply. "It's over," he muttered, though exhaustion was evident in his voice. "But that was really tiring..."

As those words left his lips, Nicholas's vision darkened.

Then, suddenly—he began plummeting from the sky headfirst.

The wind howled past his ears, but Nicholas, as if in a deep slumber, heard nothing.

As his falling figure came into view for all to see, the remaining Five Elders and Celestial Dragon survivors erupted with murderous intent.

It was clear to them—if Nicholas still had any strength left after defeating Imu, their fate was sealed. But now, seeing him so utterly spent, there was no doubt in their minds: he was completely drained.

This was their last chance!

Though Imu had been defeated, Nicholas had paid a heavy price. If they could just—

—kill him before he recovered his strength!

Then they might still have a chance!

Desperation bred a terrifying will to survive, and the remaining Five Elders immediately exploded with energy, pushing back their opponents and racing through the air toward the spot where Nicholas was falling.

At the same time, the steel dragon, which had been battling the giant mecha controlled by Vegapunk, also made a desperate dash toward Nicholas, disregarding its own safety.

Dragon, now fully aware of the situation, transformed into a whirlwind and sped toward Nicholas as well.

Unnoticed by all, a massive ship emerged from the clouds.

With a piercing screech, a giant figure tore through the mist, catching Nicholas on its back.

"Nicholas, is this what you meant by your 'Super Electromagnetic Cannon standing the test of time'? Quite the spectacle," June softly spoke, her hand gently stroking Nicholas's hair as she rested his head on her lap, atop the back of the fiery-winged Falcon.

Then she looked above at the massive monster Imu and the past Imu slowly drifting towards the sun and let out a barely audible whisper "Mother"
