Battle Status: Final Phase Initiated
Combatants: Toni (Memory Sovereign) vs. Imu (Conceptual Function "Aemulux D. Nihil")
"They feared the Will of D... but they never imagined a man with the Will to define D itself."
— Unknown inscription, buried beneath Laugh Tale
🌌 The Realm of Belief
Toni hovered in a void that was neither dark nor light — it was pure narrative density.
There was no ground, no sky.
Only swirling fragments of every belief the world had ever accepted:
"The Celestial Dragons are divine."
"Roger was a criminal."
"Imu is eternal."
"The Will of D is dangerous."
Each belief was a thread. Each thread tied to a name.
And in the center of it all—
Imu stood, no longer a vague silhouette.
Now fully formed, Imu resembled a mirrored being: beautiful, terrifying, and unnaturally flawless — a product of precision, not nature.
Their eyes glowed with countless forgotten names.
Their voice echoed as code.
"Toni. You were not chosen. You were not meant to be. The world does not need your myth."
"Then it's a good thing I didn't ask the world," Toni said, tightening his grip on Mythblade and Wordbreaker.

✅ Toni can still rewrite Imu's core function — but must reach The True Name Thread
💀 The True Name Thread
Olga had once described the world's narrative as a woven loom — a tapestry spun by belief, name, memory, and history.
Now, before Toni and Imu, the loom unraveled.
At its heart:
One thread.
Golden. Pulsing.
Named: "Imu – Aemulux D. Nihil"
To sever it would mean cutting the spine of the World Government itself.
To miss… would mean being erased.
Forever.
⚔️ The Final Duel Begins
Imu moved first.
A thousand blades of truth descended—each forged from accepted history:
"We rule the world by order of divinity!"
"The Will of D breeds chaos!"
"Pirates are nothing but broken monsters!"
Toni didn't block them.
He cut the context.
"No divinity was ever earned—only stolen."
"Chaos is the cry of those silenced too long."
"Pirates? We're the ones who said 'no' first."
His blades became truth-cleavers.
He wasn't attacking the swords—
He was rewriting the beliefs behind them.
⚠️ System Log – Belief Rejections Spreading
✅ Public consciousness reacting
🌊 Revolutionaries experience visions
🦁 Shanks senses a sky shift
🔥 Ace remembers a moment that never happened — but feels true
🐉 Dragon lifts his head and whispers, "It's begun."
🌐 Marines at Marineford pause — many drop to their knees as a pressure they don't understand swells
🩸 Toni's Limits
But the backlash was brutal.
Each belief Toni struck twisted his own memories.
He began to forget small things:
The taste of food aboard Oro Jackson
His first sparring session with Shanks
The name of the bird that followed them during their first raid
His own story… was unraveling in the process.
"You cannot kill me without killing yourself," Imu said coldly.
"Your myth is tethered to the world I own."
Toni fell to a knee, shaking.
Blood dripped from his eyes, his ears. The Mythblade trembled.
"Then I'll use what you never had," he muttered.
"I'll use a reason."
⚔️ Toni's Final Move – Legacy Severance Slash
He stood.
Raised both blades.
Took one deep breath.
"Roger smiled before death."
"Ace burned brighter than prophecy."
"The Will of D is the name the world cannot kill."
He surged forward.
Each step carved belief into the void.
Imu screamed. Reality began to melt.
Toni reached the True Name Thread.
"This isn't for power," he said softly.
"It's for every forgotten name you buried."
And he cut.
"Mythblade Final Art – Legacy Severance: The Blade That Ends Gods."
🌠 Silence
The thread snapped.
Imu's body cracked — not with blood, but with shattered meanings.
They tried to speak.
"I… am… ord—"
Their voice became static.
Their form vanished like a mist.
And in their place?
Nothing.
Not even a scream.
🌎 Back in the World
Across the globe, the skies shifted.
Mary Geoise's throne cracked.
Reverie delegates stood in stunned silence.
The Five Elders collapsed — as if something larger than them had left them hollow.
The seas calmed.
The stars rearranged.
Above the Grand Line, a new constellation formed:
A sword pointing down, embedded in the earth.
And from below it, a name burned in starlight:
TONI
