" Mr. Garp, that's Mr. Luffy..."
"Forehead..."
Koby and Smoker, standing behind Garp, were somewhat taken aback. "Is that really your grandson? You think you can just suppress him like that?"
Of course Garp wanted to suppress him. Now that Luffy had obtained the One Piece, he was the true Pirate King. Garp's failure to suppress the previous Pirate King Roger, had always been his regret, and he certainly wouldn't miss out on this generation's Pirate King!
Of course, while he suppressed him, he also wanted to see how far his grandson had grown, what kind of person he was, and whether he was truly the destined one who could change the entire world, as Vic had said.
If even the two of them, who are at the God Realm, couldn't do it together, he really didn't know how Luffy could do it!
" Gion! Do you think your partner will come?"
Tsuru approached Gion's side and asked softly, seemingly casually. She didn't see the two children who had been staying by Gion's side. She thought of many things. She already knew who the children's father was. Now that Gion, she suspected that Vic would also come to join in the fun!
"He's been waiting for this day for so long, he'll definitely come!"
Gion looked up into the distance, but her eyes were unfocused, her thoughts wandering elsewhere. A blush suddenly appeared on her face, as if she had thought of something inappropriate for children. Tsuru shook her head, but she felt relieved and walked back to her old comrade.
"How terrifying! Kaido and Big Mom have mobilized so many troops, plus the Straw Hat Pirates, this force is enough to start a war with the Marine Headquarters!"
Kizaru stood with his hands in his pockets, speaking casually, but what he said was anything but simple. Of course, he was referring to the worst-case scenario: three pirate crews joining forces to fight against the Navy.
If that's the case, then they're not much weaker than the Marine Headquarters. The captains of just three pirate crews would be enough to deal with the Three Admirals. What about Aokiji? Even Akainu Fleet Admiral Akainu wouldn't be able to keep up!
Moreover, if this lineup were to face off, the Navy would definitely lose. In Kizaru's view, Garp and his crew are too old. At present, it is already quite good that they have a Vice Admiral or higher and Admiral or lower. At most, they can fight against the officers of the Yonko crews. The Navy does not have the advantage.
But that's the worst-case scenario. Besides, the Straw Hat Pirates has grudges against Kaido Big Mom. Would they really unite because they're Marines and pirates?
The arrival of the main naval force could not be kept secret from Vic, especially since there were many powerful individuals among them, making it even more impossible to conceal.
However, Vic was not surprised by the arrival of the Navy. It was not surprising that the Navy knew about the news, which was known even to the World Government, Kaido, and Big Mom. Moreover, it was very likely that the Five Elders had ordered them to come!
Vic knew the final battle was approaching. Even if the Five Elders couldn't confirm it, they could guess at some of it. They should have that much sensitivity, not to mention that Imu was above them, controlling the overall situation.
Vic is now very curious about how many people will ultimately come to Lodestar Island to participate in this great battle, and who spread the news that Luffy obtained the One Piece everywhere. Could there be a traitor within the Straw Hat Pirates?
Because those who knew the news were all Laugh Tale's crewmates who had gone to Luffy with him, Vic never checked their memories and trusted them completely, mainly because he trusted Luffy's naive judgment!
But then the thought of a mole popped into his head, Vic realized he was being too sensitive. Maybe Luffy had encountered someone on his Luffy back, or someone else had discovered his whereabouts, which led to the exposure of obtaining the One Piece!
"The Navy has arrived, and the World Government is about to gain the upper hand. Hmm? Looks like I don't need to act so quickly! But that beast Saturn absolutely cannot be let go. Kuma's resentment must be vented!"
The combined strength of the Navy and the Five Elders far surpasses that of the Revolutionary Army, Kaido, and Big Mom. Even though the Navy's mid-level ranks are largely controlled by Vic, the Navy's high command will undoubtedly choose to side with the Five Elders for now.
Even if Vic implanted special memories into Akainu's mind, the Navy's high command wouldn't completely obey Akainu, the Fleet Admiral. Akainu has quite a few superiors above him!
It's estimated that only when the secret of the Celestial Dragons being aliens is exposed, or when the World Government is at a disadvantage, will Akainu be able to lead the Navy in a counterattack against the World Government!
Given the disparity in strength between the two sides, Vic had originally planned to intervene and influence things from the shadows. However, he suddenly sensed many auras approaching Lodestar Island, including some familiar ones. Vic knew that, for now, he probably wouldn't need to take action!
However, there's no need to keep Saturn around. The hardships that Kuma and Ginny endured were all caused by that beast Saturn!
Of course, there's Bonney. Her father was a Celestial Dragons scum, and her mother was killed shortly after she was born. Her birth was accompanied by misfortune. If it weren't for Kuma's protection, she would have been a withered weed at any moment!
All of this was caused by that old beast Saturn. If the navy arrives at the battlefield, Kuma won't have many chances to get close to Saturn. So Vic thinks it's better to kill him now!
Vic kept a close eye on the battlefield where the Kuma and Saturn were located. The Kuma was the main attacker, and two Seraphim were supporting him.
As Kuma's fist, imbued with Armament Haki, swung towards Saturn's chest, Vic seized the opportunity and completely separated the space between Saturn and Kuma!
The two are currently in a very small alternate dimension, but this alternate dimension coexists with the larger external dimension, like the relationship between an egg and its yolk. People in the two dimensions can see each other, but otherwise have no contact and are completely isolated from each other!
Although Vic's Law of Space are not perfect, it is still possible to isolate a small area of space!
After separating the two spaces, Vic did not stop. Taking advantage of the moment when the Kuma punched Saturn in the chest, he directly tore open a Space Passage in front of him. The end of this Space Passage was Saturn's heart!
In other words, Vic opened a door inside Saturn's body, through which he could silently remove all of Saturn's internal organs!
However, instead of removing Saturn's internal organs, Vic sent a powerful Armament Haki into Saturn's heart. After Vic's Haki instantly crushed Saturn's heart, Kuma's Haki entered Saturn's body and began destroying the other organs!
"You..."
Saturn was filled with disbelief and horror. He couldn't believe that the Kuma, his former slave, could possess such overwhelming Haki, capable of breaking through all his defenses and shattering his heart!
What terrified him even more was that he felt his life force rapidly draining away, and he could no longer sense the mysterious power that had been keeping him alive!
He couldn't believe that the slave before him could completely restrain his immortality. He firmly believed that he had been abandoned by Lord Imu. He didn't know what he had done wrong, but his thoughts had stopped wandering, and his eyes were filled with confusion and despair!
With the strength of the God Realm Vic, it would be very easy for him to kill the Five Elders and the Holy Knights who are immortal. He could have done it a long time ago, but he didn't do it to avoid alerting them!
