"Is there another one? That must be an unparalleled genius and a highly ambitious individual. To break through to that level under the World Government's information blockade—that's a true prodigy!"
Over the centuries, there have certainly been some talented individuals who have broken through to the God Realm, but how many of them have continued to cultivate and grow stronger?
Even when they've reached the known limits of their abilities, they still strive to move forward. Even when they encounter bottlenecks that are considered the limits, they still don't give up and keep pushing upwards. This enterprising spirit is the most precious thing, turning the impossible into the possible!
He didn't know there was another road ahead, but he was determined to forge one himself. Such a person is a pioneer in any era. Dragon admires such people and is doing something similar himself!
"That's not necessarily true. You know, the lifespan of the God Realm expert can reach around 2,500 years. That person might be a survivor from a previous era."
He was even one of those who originally opposed the Celestial Dragons, only surviving to preserve their legacy and continue their lineage. He has always been helping talented people; it's clear he's nurturing the next generation, cultivating allies who are enemies of the World Government!
Vic has basically determined the era of that person; he should be one of the people in the photograph he saw in Mary Geoise, or a companion of those powerful beings at the God Realm!
The Luffy from Awakening to the God Realm is not something that can be simply summarized as a bottleneck. If Luffy 'Awakening Nika Form is considered a bottleneck, then the journey from Awakening to the God Realm is more than ten times harder than Awakening Nika Form!
Without knowing what lies ahead, how many people would persevere for decades? They'd probably give up long ago because they'd gained nothing!
"That...! That's possible, but even with three God Realm experts on your side, you're still no match for that Celestial Dragons? Just how many experts of that level do they have?"
According to Vic's description, God Realm expert is powerful enough to destroy an island with a flick of their wrist, but they already have three such experts on their side, yet Vic is still so wary. Could there be another nest of them on Mary Geoise? Just thinking about it is despairing!
If Vic hadn't been lucky enough to learn about the God Realm beyond Awakening, how disastrous would their Revolutionary Army have been if they had rashly invaded Mary Geoise!
"Among the Celestial Dragons, the only known God Realm so far is Imu who has shown up and made a move. As for whether there are any others, I'm not sure, but we can't be complacent. Of course, the more God Realm we have, the better!"
Another possibility is that, from the Celestial Dragons' perspective, Imu has always been the only God Realm powerhouse. He cannot tolerate anyone challenging his authority, not even a fellow Celestial Dragons. This is the issue of multiple Devil Fruit abilities coexisting that I wanted to discuss with you!
When Vic went to Mary Geoise before, he did suspect that there were many powerful beings at the God Realm among the Celestial Dragons, but now he doesn't think so!
Based on Imu's contractual abilities and various behaviors, it's easy to conclude that he is an extremely autocratic figure who will kill anyone who disobeys him, even his closest subordinates, the Five Elders. However, the previous speculations cannot be completely dismissed, and it's always good to be prepared!
"Right! You still haven't explained how you manage to possess multiple Devil Fruit abilities simultaneously without exploding and dying!"
Vic talked a lot and gave a lot of information, but he didn't address the original question. However, Vic's story was so shocking that Dragon had forgotten to ask about it. Now, we're back to the main topic!
Vic didn't want to say too much, but to explain the issue of multiple Devil Fruit abilities coexisting, he really needed to lay the groundwork, otherwise even if he explained it directly, it would be difficult for people to understand!
"When Devil Fruit's power is mastered to the God Realm, all the negative effects it brings to a living being will disappear, and the human body will return to its initial state. At this point, one can eat another Devil Fruit!"
If this continues, a person can possess multiple abilities simultaneously. Poneglyph describe this as the Power of Law, using one's understanding of heaven and earth to command the power of heaven and earth for one's own use!
The coexistence of multiple Devil Fruit abilities, the God Realm, and Imu are all connected. Imu has lived for at least eight hundred years; how many Laws has he comprehended? He alone is equivalent to several God Realm, so our situation is not so good!
Even though Vic had only seen Imu in his true form once, Imu had already demonstrated several kinds of Power of Law: animal form, immortality, demonic contract, spatial teleportation, and creation out of thin air—all of which Vic had witnessed firsthand!
Some of them may be different manifestations of the same Laws, but can you be sure that this is all the Laws Imu has comprehended? You can't be sure at all. Vic can't gamble with the lives of many people on his shoulders. He has to plan in secret!
"So you mean, Imu has mastered multiple Devil Fruit abilities, no, the Power of Law? Not something one or two God Realm can handle?"
Dragon finally understood why Vic had gone on such a long tangent. He had told Vic the whole story, including the cause and effect, and also the current situation. Vic hoped that he could also reach that level, otherwise, with his current strength, he would most likely just be a powerless spectator by then!
"How's your fruit development going? Have you hit a bottleneck?"
Dragon is Devil Fruit User, which is not Logia ability but Paramecia ability. He can use the power of wind to fight for him!
Don't underestimate the wind. On a grander scale, it can be a force capable of causing natural disasters, something even Pirate King Roger and Golden Lion Shiki feared!
On a smaller scale, when a wisp of wind reaches a certain speed, it becomes sharper than a blade, and is also invisible, intangible, and elusive!
The wind can even gather clouds and summon lightning, allowing it to fly freely. Of course, it certainly has other abilities as well, but Vic's knowledge of the Law of Wind is limited, so he cannot know them all!
"We haven't encountered a bottleneck yet, and we're still far from the critical point you mentioned. I've been complacent these past few years!"
Dragon was somewhat regretful. Over the years, he had devoted a great deal of time and energy to the management and expansion of the Revolutionary Army. Little did he know that there were realms beyond Awakening waiting for him. Otherwise, he would have definitely tried to go to the top to see the scenery. It was an experience that no one could miss in life!
However, he did not regret it. The Revolutionary Army still needed to develop. After the World Government was overthrown, who would govern this vast and chaotic world? Someone had to take on this responsibility!
"I hope you can hand over the affairs of the Revolutionary Army to Sabo. He has been by your side for so many years, and he has learned how to govern and develop the Revolutionary Army from his experience!"
You must seize the time to diligently comprehend it and strive for a breakthrough before the great battle arrives. I have a premonition that the day the One Piece is discovered will be the day of the great battle. Time waits for no one!
