Seeing this, Dragon stopped his attack. He sensed that the Five Elders' sudden return to human form might be part of a conspiracy!
Sabo and his men charged forward recklessly, but as the leader of the Revolutionary Army, he couldn't be so impulsive. If the other side really had some underhanded tricks, at least he could remain calm and wait to make a move and take some precautions!
Looking at the bald, bespectacled man across from him, who was also squinting at him, Dragon became even more wary. He had clearly sensed a hint of fear emanating from the other man before, but now it was gone. Moreover, the other man suddenly exuded an air of unfathomable mystery, which was very abnormal and made him hesitant to make any rash moves!
"The navy is approaching quickly, he's just bluffing you, buddy! What are you waiting for? Let's take him down!"
Vic was speechless. Dragon was actually intimidated by the Five Elders ' sudden transformation. This was far too cautious. If Vic hadn't reminded him telepathically, Dragon would probably have been locked in a stalemate with Nusjuro until the Navy had to intervene!
Those four old bastards are too wicked, especially Nusjuro. He probably realized that Dragon was too strong and that his life might be in danger, so he used some means to contact the other three of the Five Elders!
Then, while deliberately engaging in conversation with Dragon, he had the other three cooperate with him to pull off a trick, stalling for time while waiting for the Navy's support!
Vic was unaware that the Five Elders had an internal voice chat system, but he himself could transmit his voice using Observation Haki, so he didn't think that other methods of communication in secret didn't exist. This world is just that amazing; it's not an exaggeration to say that there are all sorts of amazing abilities!
However, Vic was only half right; the Five Elders did indeed have an internal conversation while Nusjuro and Dragon were talking.
However, this internal communication was not initiated by Nusjuro. He was genuinely filled with fear at the time and could not have imagined this. It was Saint Mars saw through Nusjuro's problem!
The fact that the Five Elders all transformed back into human form made Dragon suspicious was only a secondary reason. The main reason was that the Navy was already very close, and they didn't want the Navy to witness the bloody scene of their human-beast forms being massacred!
The reason has been mentioned before; it's still a matter of face for the Celestial Dragons and the World Government. However, because of Vic's reminder, Dragon shattered their expectations!
Even now, they still try to maintain their pitiful semblance of dignity!
Will I be immune to attacks, bleeding, and missing limbs if I transform back into human form?
While it's true that he doesn't look as terrible in his human and beast forms, he's not much better, is he? They insist on maintaining such a small difference!
If Vic knew what they were really thinking, he'd laugh until he cried!
You're kidding me!
Upon hearing Vic's telepathic message, Dragon realized he had been tricked. His eyes narrowed, and his gaze towards Nusjuro was filled with danger. He raised his hand, ready to attack!
"I don't!"
Nusjuro knew their plan had been exposed, but the words of denial slipped out, his voice trembling slightly!
Even he himself probably didn't realize that a trace of fear had arisen in his heart when facing the Revolutionary Army leader in front of him!
Seeing Dragon raise his hand, Nusjuro instinctively retreated quickly. He had already suffered a lot from taking Dragon's attack head-on, and his whole body was in excruciating pain!
That was a real tearing, like wringing out a towel, drying him completely. The intensifying pain was even worse than undergoing a major ordeal!
"You still want to leave!"
Dragon a casual wave of his hand, Nusjuro flying back uncontrollably.
For Dragon, as long as you live under the atmosphere, you cannot escape the control of the wind. Even if you are as powerful as the Five Elders, they can make you come and go with the wind, leaving you with no choice in your own life!
Nusjuro's body flew uncontrollably toward Dragon. He struggled, but could only flail his limbs like a turtle!
He also considered using Haki to counter Dragon's Devil Fruit ability, but it was to no avail!
Although Dragon's power is wind, the wind is merely the result of his ability; it's not something he conjures out of thin air. Once the wind takes shape, it becomes a force of nature, Haki useless!
So Nusjuro could only watch helplessly as he got closer and closer to Dragon. His body was out of control, and a look of fear appeared in Nusjuro's eyes. He felt as if he was approaching death!
As Nusjuro approached, Dragon's outstretched palm emitted a surge of Conqueror's Haki, like flames, attracting black and red Inazuma to swirl around it!
Then, a small tornado appeared directly above the Conqueror's Haki "flame," drawing strands of Conqueror's Haki below into the tornado!
The tornado spun faster and faster, drawing in more and more Conqueror's Haki, like a waterspout sucking water. Meanwhile, the Conqueror's Haki "flames" in Dragon's palms showed no signs of diminishing, and he continued to release Conqueror's Haki continuously!
When the tornado absorbs a certain amount of Conqueror's Haki, black and red Inazuma appears around the tornado!
No sooner said than done, Dragon's operation, which seemed to involve many steps and take a long time, was actually not. With his masterful control of tornadoes and Conqueror's Haki, the process could be completed in a very short time in one go!
Meanwhile, the Five Elders Nusjuro, was getting closer and closer to Dragon. Looking at the tornado with blood-red Inazuma above Dragon's palm, Nusjuro's eyes widened, his fear intensifying, but he couldn't control his body!
"No! Help me!!!"
"Die, Conqueror's Tornado!"
As if sensing the intense aura of death, Nusjuro could no longer maintain his composure. He quickly stretched out a hand and waved it vigorously, shouting as he tried to make Dragon stop!
But why would Dragon bother with him? This old guy had never invited his father Garp to dinner, nor had he ever washed his feet. They didn't have that kind of relationship!
Then Dragon threw the tornado he had almost finished building up at the flying Nusjuro!
The tornado, crackling with crimson Inazuma, grew larger and larger after being released, until it was completely swallowed up when Nusjuro came into contact with it!
"Ah!~"
Although Nusjuro was swallowed by the tornado, contrary to everyone's expectations, no pieces of flesh and blood were flung out of the tornado!
What followed was a long, drawn-out scream, but after that scream, the tornado fell into complete silence, with only the whistling sound of the wind cutting through the air drifting around!
When Nusjuro screamed in terror, it drew the attention of many people.
The Beasts Pirates and Big Mom Pirates, who were watching from the sidelines, were another story. Sabo and Ivankov, who were fighting the other Five Elders, also stopped what they were doing and looked over. Naturally, their opponents, the Five Elders, did the same!
The other Five Elders could hear the fear in Nusjuro's shout, and they naturally had to pay attention; perhaps they would be next!
Those Seraphim who had no interest in watching the drama unfold and were only focused on completing their mission were all blasted away by their powerful attacks!
The advance naval force, which had already reached the edge of the battlefield, saw Nusjuro shouting as he was swallowed by the tornado. They all stopped in astonishment, and the entire battlefield fell into a brief silence!
