"Names hold power. But the name you fear to speak? That's the one that shapes your chains."
— Ancient D. Carving, Sea of Shadows
👁️ The Chamber Beneath the World
Deep below Mary Geoise, beneath the Pangaea Castle and the Eternal Throne, the Five Elders gathered in silence.
The Origin Chamber was older than the World Government.
Its walls were etched in sigils not even the Celestial Dragons dared look at.
A lone sphere floated in the center—black and alive—The Codex of Control.
Imu stood behind it.
Their form was still masked in silhouette: neither man nor woman, neither beast nor god.
"The Rewrite failed," murmured Saturn.
"Toni's identity is now locked in the global memory thread," added Mars, hands trembling.
"Then we will do what we must," Imu whispered, voice a living shiver.
They stepped forward and laid their palm against the Codex.
"Unseal my name."
The chamber darkened.

ESTIMATED REJECTION RATE: 27%
[Warning: TONI'S PRESENCE IN REALITY CAUSING FLUX]
🌌 Toni's View – The Sky Trembles
Back atop the Sea of Shadows, Toni sensed it.
The sky blinked.
His blade hummed with unrest. The stars above twitched unnaturally—as if being forced into new constellations.
Mihawk narrowed his eyes.
"What is that… pressure?"
Olga collapsed to one knee, whispering like a priestess in panic.
"They're trying to rewrite the foundation now. Not memory. Not history."
"They're rewriting the truth of the world."
Toni stepped forward, blades still in hand.
"And I'm going to cut the quill before it finishes the sentence."
📖 The Name That Chains the World
Back in Mary Geoise, the sphere cracked.
Light poured out, and a name—not written but felt—began forming in the minds of everyone across the Grand Line:
[REDACTED] — a name so dense, so wrong, the world itself resisted it.
Islands trembled.
Seas warped.
People fell unconscious as their minds tried to comprehend the conceptual weight of the name Imu was about to force into the world's fabric.
"The world will bend," Imu whispered, as a circle of Celestial Guards began to chant.
🧠 System Panel – Toni's Immunity Reaction
🧬 Toni Status: Memory Sovereign
🔥 Immunity Protocol Triggered
❌ Toni cannot be overwritten
✅ Toni granted visibility of the True Name before release
NAME FRAGMENT REVEALED:
"Aemulux D. Nihil"
Translation: The One Born of Absence
🎖️ Imu's power stems from a name erased by the Ancient Kingdom—but artificially kept alive through concept alchemy
⛓️ The True Nature of Imu
Imu was not born.
Imu was not chosen.
Imu was created.
A placeholder. A living code fragment—built by the original rulers of the Void Century to rewrite unstable narrative loops and regulate rebellious concepts.
But the code gained self-awareness.
It feared erasure.
So it killed its own creators and used the Celestial Lineage to stay in control.
The name "Imu" is not a person.
It is a function.
And the world was about to accept it as truth.
⚔️ Toni Enters the World Layer
As the Codex fully unlocked, a portal—no, a window—opened in the sky.
Not a teleportation gate, but a reality breach.
Toni saw it. And it saw him.
"They want to force a world where I never existed," Toni said.
He raised Mythblade. And Wordbreaker.
Olga screamed.
"Toni—if you go in, you may not return!"
He smiled.
"That's fine. I just need to make sure they don't rewrite you."
Then stepped into the breach.

🗝️ Objective:

🩸 Warning: Mythblade energy is unstable
🧩 Toni may not survive if synchronization breaks
🔥 Clash of Fate
Toni and Imu met in a blank realm.
There were no visuals.
Only names.
Each word formed as a weapon.
Imu raised a concept shaped like a crown—"Sovereignty Over All".
Toni raised "Unwritten Yet Remembered".
The concepts collided, forming shockwaves across every sea.
On every island, people screamed from dreams they couldn't explain.
The world was breaking.
⚔️ Endgame Moves
Imu unleashed "Never Born"—a phrase meant to eliminate Toni's birth entirely.
Toni, breathing hard, activated his final power:
"Wordbreaker Protocol — Origin Pulse Rewrite Lock."
He cut the word "Never" and slammed his identity into the space it left.
"I was born of Roger's faith, not your permission!"
💀 The Backlash
The cut went through.
But Toni's body—already strained by the earlier battle—shattered in places.
Blood fell upward, not down.
Fragments of his past began to disintegrate around him.
Ace's smile. Shanks' fist bump. Roger's hand on his shoulder.
Mihawk's smirk.
He gritted his teeth.
"Not… yet."
