A massive Sword Gang aura, wreathed in Armament Haki and crimson Inazuma, slashed toward the Azure Dragon's neck. Vic wasn't going to waste time with fancy moves; he came straight for the kill!
The Sword Gang, as thin as a cicada's wing, flashed across the Azure Dragon's neck, drawing out a few drops of blood, before dissipating into the void!
The Azure Dragon maintained its flying posture and continued to rush forward, but the Flame Clouds under its claws had dissipated, and its entire body was rapidly falling!
However, the first thing to hit the ground was a huge dragon head that had been severed at the neck, followed by the enormous dragon body that was hundreds of meters long. The entire valley trembled as the dragon body crashed to the ground, and dust billowed up everywhere!
"Next!"
Vic flashed again and appeared beside the Kirin once more.
Having witnessed the Azure Dragon's slaying, the Golden Kirin was somewhat on guard. It turned around and spat out a fireball, intending to burn Vic to ashes!
However, Vic remained calm, raised his sword and slashed, splitting the fireball in two. With the remaining force of the blade, he effortlessly severed the Kirin's head, and another dragon head fell to the ground!
Since the Kirin wasn't as big Azure Dragon, Vic didn't use his Sword Gang. The feeling of slashing through flesh with a horizontal blade was quite good!
Vic's speed was so fast it was like he was traversing space. If it were someone else, they would have already ordered the mythical beasts to surround and Luffy!
However, Imu is no ordinary person. Even though she can't reach Vic's speed, she can still see some of Vic's afterimages and trajectories. She can tell whether Vic ran there or opened a spatial gate to get there!
Vic's speed was too fast, and his Haki was too strong. Even if his opponents were a group of legendary mythical beasts, they were no match for him!
He swiftly slaughtered the phantom beasts one by one, leaving only corpses scattered on the ground. Vic gripped his blood-dripping sword, turned to look at Imu indifferently, as if to say, "That's it?!"
It's not that these mythical beasts are weak; their aura, speed, and the power of their moves are in no way inferior to the Five Elders and the God's Knights.
It's just that Vic is too well-rounded; his strength, speed, and attack are all unmatched by these mythical beasts. It's no wonder he was easily defeated!
Between two equally matched individuals, the one with the faster speed will definitely win. But when facing someone who is even faster and stronger, the outcome is obvious!
"Um?"
Suddenly sensing a Power of Law flowing through the corpses of the phantom beasts, Vic turned his head and saw that the corpses of the phantom beasts were all writhing, seemingly trying to piece themselves back together.
Vic glanced at Imu and found that she was still flipping through the book that was floating in the air, seemingly looking for something more powerful, completely ignoring the phantom beasts that Vic had killed!
Although he didn't see what Imu did, Vic already knew what she had done. The Power of Law that had been flowing through the phantom beast's corpse was, without a doubt, the Law of Immortality!
Imu was deliberately letting these phantom beasts continuously deplete his Haki and stamina. No wonder she didn't care about the lives of the Five Elders and the God's Knights. Being able to summon such powerful figures of the same level at any time, whether the Five Elders and the God's Knights lived or died was of no concern to her!
As they pondered, the roars of beasts rose and fell, and all the phantom beasts came back to life!
It can't be considered a resurrection, because these mythical beasts were originally summoned by Imu using pictures from a book. Imu gave these paper pictures life and powerful abilities, which can no longer be simply called life!
" Imu! It's no use resurrecting them multiple times. They can't even touch my body. You should take action yourself. I want to see your other tricks!"
Vic knew that even if he crushed those magical beasts into dust, it wouldn't make a difference. These magical beasts were different from the Five Elders; they were originally summoned through drawings. Even if they were completely obliterated, he could just summon them again!
Vic believed that Imu had definitely mastered a perfect Laws of turning the unreal into reality. As long as she could imagine it, she could summon it into reality. As for why she would summon it through a book, perhaps thinking about it by looking at the pictures in the book would be faster and more accurate!
"Really? Then I'll bring you something new!"
Imu seemed to have found an interesting picture in the book, and stopped turning the pages. Then, the scene from before, where the phantom beast was summoned from the book, reappeared!
Another small beast struggled out from between the pages of the book, then stretched out its wings and flew out, growing to about ten meters tall in the wind, its red eyes fixed intently on Vic!
"Is this a Western dragon?"
Looking at its metallic scales, dark purple body, ferocious lizard head with a mouthful of sharp teeth, curved horns on its head, and bat wings on its back, wasn't this a mighty Western dragon?
This kind of dragon has appeared in this world before. Zoro killed one during Punk Hazard, but that dragon was a failed product of Vegapunk's research. Compared to the ferocious, powerful, and oppressive dragon in front of him, that dragon was a joke!
Of course, Zoro's Ryuma also slew a dragon like this, but we don't know what kind of dragon it was. The only thing that is certain is that such creatures originally existed in this world!
"That's the sky..."
"It can't be Xiao Guai's. Xiao Guai couldn't possibly be that big and that fierce!"
Usopp saw the Western dragon in the sky and blurted out, but Nami interrupted him before he could finish.
Clearly, they knew such a Western dragon, and it was their friend—a kind Western dragon!
"But they really look alike! Apart from the difference in size, there's really no difference!"
Usopp spoke somewhat hesitantly, but no one paid him any attention. Everyone was busy fighting and had no time to bother with a nobody like him!
"It's just a big lizard, probably not even as good as that Azure Dragon. How dare you show it off!"
Vic thought Imu could summon some legendary divine beast, but this is it? Using a Western dragon to fill the void? Have they run out of ideas?
Imu didn't reply, continuing to flip through the book, then stopped again on a certain page, this time with three bulges struggling to emerge from the page.
After the unknown creature emerged from inside, Vic vaguely saw that it was three humanoid beings.
Then the three humanoid creatures leaped off the pages of the book and plummeted from a height of tens of meters. As they fell, they rapidly grew larger and crashed heavily onto the ground, creating three large craters!
" Pops!"
Marco looked at one of the tall figures, his eyes filled with tears, his voice trembling with emotion, because one of the three figures was Whitebeard!
It was Whitebeard in his youth, with blond hair, wearing a pirate captain's hat, and holding a naginata. His iconic Whitebeard exuded a heroic and domineering Haki, making Marco lose his composure. That was Whitebeard at his peak! However, the figure ignored his shouts!
" Newgate!"
The Big Mom also saw the Whitebeard, and then two other figures, which reminded her of the great battle in God Valley —how similar they were!
" Whitebeard!"
Akainu also saw the man who almost destroyed Marineford. The severe injuries Whitebeard sustained when he died were mostly caused by him, and Whitebeard taught him a profound lesson!
Roger!
Garp noticed this as well, but what attracted his attention the most was the figure wearing a red captain's uniform!
