Everyone knows that Vic is Devil Fruit User the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, so how come he suddenly has a spatial ability? Is the lightning Vic releases fake? That's impossible! He used the Rumble-Rumble Fruit to help the Revolutionary Army Awakening Haki, and Dragon witnessed it with his own eyes!
"You don't really think a person can only eat one Devil Fruit, do you? Generally speaking, that's true, but under certain circumstances, it's possible to eat a second, third, or even a fourth. Guess how many Devil Fruit I've eaten right now?"
Vic's Speed-Speed Fruit is extremely special; it can be considered Power of Law he comprehended himself, rather than something he obtained by eating Devil Fruit.
Because when he obtained this ability, he didn't experience any of the side effects of eating Devil Fruit; seawater and Seastone couldn't affect him. Vic didn't know what was going on at first, but now that he knows more, he has some guesses!
"What? You mean you've gained a second Devil Fruit ability?"
Dragon looked on in disbelief. He had only ever heard of people exploding and dying after eating two Devil Fruit, never of anyone daring to risk exploding and try to eat two to challenge the consensus!
But he saw it today, and it was indeed Vic's second ability, which was completely unrelated to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit ability. Vic had no reason to lie to him!
"That's right, I'm here today to tell you two very important things. One is about Devil Fruit abilities, and the other is about the mysterious person Sabo and I saw in Pangaea Castle. Both of these things are related to the outcome of the final battle!"
Dragon had already learned of the existence of the mysterious and powerful Imu from Sabo, but they didn't know Imu's specific identity or strength; they only knew that he was very strong!
When Vic brought Sabo back, he didn't tell them the specifics of the situation. Dragon thought things weren't that bad yet. Now that Imu has personally intervened, the situation is very serious. Vic has decided to tell them everything!
"Can having one more ability really change the course of a battle? I don't think so!"
Dragon wasn't wrong. Based on his current understanding, that was indeed the case. So what if you have two abilities? I'll send two equally powerful ability users to deal with you. Two against one, that would be a greater advantage.
But how many ability users can be on the same level as Imu? Given the Laws Imu has mastered, it would probably take several to close the gap. It's too difficult to be on the same level as Imu. Breaking through to the God Realm is too difficult. Even if he didn't block the news about the God Realm, very few people could break through!
"What if there's a realm beyond the Devil Fruit Awakening?!"
Vic said calmly, "If he hadn't learned Ancient Script and dared to explore, discovering the existence of the God Realm, they probably wouldn't even know how they died in the final battle. When Awakening beings face the God Realm, it's like a child encountering a strong adult, completely powerless!"
"What did you say! There's another level above Devil Fruit Awakening!"
Dragon was incredulous. Although he had spent a lot of time strengthening the Revolutionary Army, he still valued his own strength. He knew the importance of top-tier combat power, and his view was similar to Vic's. It was just that the two had different understandings of top-tier powerhouses!
Vic's words were like a thunderclap, sending a chill down Dragon's spine. He had just been talking about the mysterious man in Pangaea Castle, and now he was saying there were realms beyond Awakening. This was practically an open secret!
If he were to rashly lead the Revolutionary Army into Mary Geoise, and that mysterious man were to overwhelm them with power on another level, the consequences would be unimaginable; just thinking about it is terrifying!
"That's right! Did you think the Devil Fruit Awakening was the end? That's just the beginning. The next realm is the Law God! The God of Law, commonly known as the God Realm!"
Just hearing those two names should give you a clue, right? That's not self-proclaimed authority, but rather the respectful title given to such powerful individuals by the people of ancient times!
With strength and lifespan surpassing ordinary people, and the ability to traverse the air at will, what else could that be but a god?
Not only ancient people, but even people today would prostrate themselves on the ground and shout – God!
In the original work, Enel dared to call himself a god, and how many people would disagree? In the eyes of the Skypieans, he was truly omnipotent. As for the Law God, whose strength far surpassed Enel's, he was truly invincible, leaving no room for resistance. The gap between them was so vast that it was despairing!
"Is this true? Why has this never been told in the world? And where did you hear this from?"
Dragon was shaken. He knew that Vic wouldn't speak without reason, and there was no need for him to joke like that. Even if he heard or saw the information from somewhere, he would definitely investigate it thoroughly before revealing it!
Now that he's been brought to this Alternate Dimensional Space to discuss this matter, it's basically confirmed. Dragon's heart sank, and he felt a lingering fear for the last time he sent Sabo and the others to attack Mary Geoise!
"Do you know why I left the Navy? It's because the World Government suspects that there are remnants of Ohara on an island in the West Blue. They call them remnants, we call them survivors!"
So the Five Elders planned to kill everyone on that island, preferring to kill the innocent rather than let the guilty go free. That's why I rebelled. You probably know what happened next; the Revolutionary Army cleaned up the mess!
There were indeed survivors of Ohara on that island, and they were even genuine historians. One of them understood Ancient Script; she was Nico Robin's biological mother.
I learned Ancient Script from her, and then found a hidden place on a piece of Poneglyph where I learned of the existence of the God Realm!
..."
Vic calmly recounted the whole story to Dragon, explaining the entire background of his discovery of the God Realm, including the fact that he and Garp had both become powerful beings in the God Realm!
Dragon's jaw nearly dropped to the floor; he was utterly shocked. He never imagined that his unreliable father had quietly broken through to the next level!
No wonder the old man couldn't escape when he tried to beat him up last time; they were on completely different levels. And Vic, that little brother, so unassuming. We agreed to grow old together, but you two secretly got hair treatments. Traitors!
"In other words, the realm after Awakening is what you see in the Poneglyph texts after you learn Ancient Script, and the reason why this realm has not been passed down to the world is because the mysterious person in Pangaea Castle blocked the information, right!"
The World Government's ban on studying Ancient Script and the Buster Call Ohara are likely related to this blockade; there's a lot more to this than meets the eye!
Dragon was an extremely intelligent and perceptive person, as if he had inherited the wisdom of the Monkey Family. Therefore, he made many connections, even thinking about the Void Century period of history. Without Vic's much explanation, he knew why the World Government did what it did!
" The Five Elders respectfully address that mysterious powerhouse as Lord Imu. It is still unclear whether he is male or female. He is very good at hiding himself, and he is also the fourth God Realm powerhouse I know!"
There's another one who's particularly mysterious, but don't worry about him. He's on our side and has helped me several times. I even met Sabo in Pangaea Castle. Your grandfather and I have been hiding our strength and haven't revealed it yet!
Vic also told Dragon about the existence of the mysterious man in black robes. There was no need to hide it anymore; he desperately needed Dragon to become the fifth powerful being in the God Realm!
