In that life-or-death moment, time seemed to stand still, and movements became incredibly slow. Robin could even see the cruel, sinister grin on the blond youth's face!
She knew this was a sure-fire attack from her opponent. At that moment, her mind went blank, and she awaited her fate's verdict!
boom!!!
A deafening clap of thunder seemed to ring right next to Robin's ears, nearly deafening her!
She thought it was the sound of the gates of hell opening, but what puzzled her was that she didn't feel any pain when she died. Was it because the other party acted too quickly, and she died without any pain? What a kind person! Haha!
But when Robin refocused her gaze, she found that the blond youth was still standing in front of her, his palm less than ten centimeters from her chest, emitting wisps of smoke and a burnt smell!
Not only were the other person's palms smoking, but the blond youth was also emitting wisps of smoke. His blond hair was twisted and messy on his head like a bird's nest. The cruelty and sneer on his face were gone, replaced by pain and resentment. His eyes had lost all their light!
" Robin! Chopper is right, no one will blame you. This is what you should do, it's your mission. You can't not do it just because it's dangerous!"
If we don't do something because we're afraid of danger, if everyone thinks like that, then Joy Boy's struggle 800 years ago is a joke. Do you think that's a joke, Robin?
Once Robin's hearing returned, she heard a familiar voice beside her. She turned her head and saw that Vic had appeared next to her at some point!
She stared intently at Vic's face, which remained unchanged from before. Then she heard a thud, turned around, and saw that the blond youth had crashed backward to the ground, his presence completely gone!
She was just a hair's breadth away from killing her enemy, and now he's dead!
"My mission is certainly not a joke!"
Robin turned to look at Vic again, giving him a bright smile. But as she smiled, a tear slid down her cheek, washing a clear line of color onto her somewhat travel-worn face, like a ray of light shining through despair!
"Waaaaah!"
When Chopper saw Robin was saved, he was speechless, only able to sob softly!
He was extremely anxious just now, wanting to save Robin but unable to do so. That feeling of helplessness was so frustrating and despairing!
Thinking they were going to have to watch Robin get killed, but then a new hope appeared, the overwhelming emotions were so intense that even Chopper, the reindeer, couldn't hold back and cried. It seemed that only crying could release the chaotic emotions in his heart!
" Vic! You've finally come! So you borrowed my lightning over there!"
Nami, who was just about to summon lightning to strike Gunko, realized that the lightning she summoned this time was off-target.
Nami found it very strange, as this hadn't happened in a long time. Then, she spotted Vic near the point where the lightning struck and realized that Vic had borrowed her lightning.
With her current understanding of the Law of Weather, only someone like Vic, who has mastered the Law of Lightning, could have done it. Seeing that Vic had finally arrived, Nami smiled!
" Garp! Did you see that clearly? How did he appear?"
Sengoku looked at where Vic was, his face full of confusion!
He had previously realized that Nico Robin's side might be the first to fall, and that this would have far-reaching consequences, so he wanted to persuade Garp not to wait any longer, but Garp refused!
However, Sengoku kept a close eye on Robin's battle. When he saw her almost get killed, he was heartbroken, but his gaze never left her.
When the God's Knights Trainee was struck by lightning, he noticed a figure standing next to Robin. This figure gave him the feeling that it was as if the person had been standing there all along and had never moved!
This feeling is strange and inexplicable, because when someone moves quickly and then suddenly stops, you can definitely see some dynamic state.
But the figure that suddenly appeared didn't have that feeling. After looking closely, he realized that the figure that suddenly appeared was Vic, the one Garp had mentioned. They had finally arrived!
"It must have appeared along with that lightning bolt!"
Garp gave a perfunctory reply, not wanting to discuss the topic further; of course he knew how Vic had appeared!
However, Vic's spatial abilities are still kept secret; at least no one in the World Government knows about them. This ability may be very useful in the future, so it cannot be revealed now!
It was within his expectations that Vic would step in to save him. Although Vic had been away from the Navy for many years, he knew that Vic had never changed!
Sengoku thought Garp's words made a lot of sense. Although he still felt that something was amiss, he didn't continue the topic. As long as the person to save the day arrived, that was enough!
Saint Mars: "A dangerous fellow has arrived. He might be even more terrifying than Garp's son! Do you have any plans to deal with him?"
Vic's sudden appearance did not attract the attention of the pirates on the outside, after all, the battle here had been going on for a long time, and Nami's lightning had been striking continuously!
However, the powerful figures within the circle all sensed it, especially the Five Elders and the God's Knights, because someone had died on their side again, and they couldn't ignore it!
We can't possibly not know who killed them, right? What if we run into that situation ourselves next time?
Upon seeing Vic, Mars's initial excitement sank again; their worries had become a reality!
With Vic already here, how far behind can the Thunder God Pirates be? It feels like their newly established advantage is about to crumble! So he immediately turned on the team voice chat.
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter: "How did he appear? Did you sense him? How come he didn't reveal any aura? Just how strong is his Conqueror's Haki?!"
At this point, Saint Shepherd Ju Peter should be the most relaxed among the Five Elders, because his opponent from beginning to end is Black Leg Sanji.
This guy with the curly eyebrows doesn't have Conqueror's Haki and is weaker than him, so he poses no threat to him at all. He can deal with him quite easily.
But Vic's sudden appearance made him uneasy, because he hadn't noticed Vic's arrival at all. If Vic wanted to attack him, could he defend himself? Could he dodge it?
Saint Garling: "Has he surpassed Rocks?"
Garling glanced at the God's Knights Trainee lying motionless on the ground and recalled his encounter with Rocks in God Valley!
Although he was young at the time, he was already quite strong. However, when facing Rocks, he felt that the other party was like an insurmountable mountain, unfathomable!
He was down in just a few moves; even his immortal body couldn't heal his injuries in time, which shows how quickly he was injured!
Although the God's Knights Trainee that Vic killed was not immortal, he felt no less powerful than Rocks back then, and even more oppressive. It was an extremely dangerous aura!
" Vic! You're here, hehehe!"
Luffy punched Jiringomu away, then leaped into the air, laughing and waving at Vic.
He assumed Vic had come because he received his Den Den Den Mushi. After leaving Laugh Tale, he called Vic and told Vic about the message Joy Boy had left in Laugh Tale!
At that time, he had the idea of having Vic help him spread the truth about the Void Century, but before he could explain it in detail, he was stopped by the World Government on Lodestar Island!
