Zoro died in Luffy’s arms. His killer was Nika Luffy.
Nami, Usopp, Sanji... The entire Straw Hat Pirates crew had been wiped out.
“Hahahaha, hahahaha!”
Luffy’s state, laughing uproariously through his tears, was exactly like that of someone who had eaten a defective SMILE fruit.
He had lost the ability to grieve and cry, reduced completely to a killing tool under Imu’s control.
Imu sneered. “Your D. Clan has called yourselves the natural enemy of the gods for 800 years. Did you really think I wouldn’t make every necessary preparation?”
“We were careless, that’s true. So, Luffy, remember this: after you transmigrate, you must stop Nika’s tragedy from happening again...” Dragon’s words gave Luffy a glimmer of hope and helped him regain his resolve.
Luffy: I’ll transmigrate back to Wano Country. This time, I absolutely cannot become Nika.
