The battlefield was not large to begin with, and these top-tier experts were incredibly fast.
Vic wasted a few moments on the Western Dragon and Whitebeard, and Roger and Rocks were already close in, even preparing their ultimate moves!
Roger was fast, but Vic had the Speed Domain to assist him, which had already surpassed the limits that pure physical strength could achieve.
With a single, light step, his figure vanished like a ghost from Roger's attack range, passing right by him.
At the same time, without turning his head, he swung his knife backhand, and with a flash of cold light, the clone Roger's body was cleaved in two diagonally, blood gushing out, and the corpse crashed heavily to the ground.
If he could defeat Whitebeard in one move, he could certainly defeat Roger in one move, even if he was the former Pirate King!
Meanwhile, a truly formidable foe was closing in— Rocks!
Rocks was slightly stronger than Roger and Whitebeard, and was also a top-tier swordsman.
Among the older generation of strongmen, Garp, Sengoku, and Zephyr from the Navy were all tough guys who fought with their bare hands, while most of the pirates had their own weapons.
Rocks followed closely behind Roger, his longsword wreathed in a palpable Conqueror's Haki. The blade whistled through the air, carrying a devastating force as it slashed towards Vic!
That Conqueror's Haki extremely powerful, descending like dark clouds overhead, causing the surrounding air to stagnate and even space itself to seem about to be torn apart—such power was indeed not to be underestimated!
This time, instead of dodging with extreme speed, Vic tightly wrapped his Conqueror's Haki, which was as solid as a substance, around the Blood Wither Blade, and the blade instantly shimmered with a dark red, chilling aura!
The uncrowned king of the seas in the last era? Vic wants to see for himself whether his Conqueror's Conqueror's Haki or Rocks's will prevail!
Before the two blades even touched, their invisible, domineering Haki clashed fiercely in mid-air!
The violent impact erupted like a tsunami, and crimson Inazuma spread like a spider web from the two of them to the entire valley. In an instant, sand and stones flew and the sky and earth were turned upside down.
The horde of phantom beasts that followed Vic were slammed to the ground by this overwhelming spiritual pressure, their limbs embedded deep in the rock, emitting painful roars. The thunderclouds in the sky were forcibly torn apart, creating a dark chasm. The once continuous mountain range collapsed in an instant, with only the two giant stone pillars beneath their feet still struggling to hold them up. The rest of the earth and rocks had long since turned to dust under the impact of the Haki, blasting out a large, arc-shaped crater more than ten meters deep with edges as clean as if cleaved by an axe!
The sheer force of this clash of Conqueror's Haki was in no way inferior to the attack between Loki and Imu just now—only Imu remained completely unfazed, while Loki was utterly overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, Vic and Rocks were locked in a stalemate, their weapons radiating an overwhelming Haki. Crimson Inazuma crackled and exploded around them, sparks flying everywhere, creating a scene that hinted at a close contest!
"Looks like I'm still not as good as the old man."
Vic murmured to himself, his figure suddenly disappearing from the stone pillar. The next second, he appeared at the edge of the crater behind Rocks, his cold gaze fixed on the horde of phantom beasts that had been halted by the impact.
Behind him, Rocks suddenly arched his back, his pupils still filled with confusion and disbelief. The next moment, two deep, gruesome wounds burst open on his chest, and scalding blood gushed out like a fountain!
Rocks crashed heavily onto the stone pillar beneath him. The already precarious pillar could no longer bear the weight and collapsed with a roar. The pillar that Vic had just been standing on also crumbled in response. The two broken pillars, carrying Rocks ' body, plummeted towards the bottom of the pit!
In the instant of the collision, Vic had already discerned that Rocks ' Conqueror's Haki was far less unfathomable than Garp's.
Perhaps he died too young, his peak forever frozen at the God Valley. Even if Imu could awaken him from death, he could not allow the deceased to surpass the limits he had before his death.
In Garp, nearly fifty years have passed since the God Valley Incident. Although time has left its mark, his Haki has only become more refined through tempering.
Especially after Vic helped him regulate his body and regain his youth, his Haki speed of improvement increased by leaps and bounds until he broke through to the God Realm and his physical condition was completely stabilized!
Her current Haki aura far surpasses that of Rocks, and is even more astonishing than Imu just displayed—however, Imu clearly did not go all out, and the true extent of her power remains unknown.
Come on!
With a loud shout, Vic's voice shook the surrounding air, and he charged into the horde of phantom beasts like an arrow released from a bow.
The summoned beasts had already recovered from the shock. Seeing Vic charging at them, they roared furiously, baring their fangs and claws, and pounced on him in a frenzy. Saliva and a fierce aura filled the entire valley!
But in Vic's eyes, these ferocious phantom beasts were nothing more than chickens and dogs.
If we could break through once before, we can certainly do it again!
Vic's figure moved through the beast horde like a ghost, leaving only afterimages in his every move. His Blood Wither- Dried Blade gleamed, each swing accompanied by a sharp whistling sound that tore through the air, and streaks of crimson blood drew beautiful yet deadly arcs in the sky.
When Vic finally stood at the other end of the beast horde, the phantom beasts behind him collapsed one after another, all of them with their heads severed and their bodies split in two. The ground was covered with severed limbs and hot blood, staining the edge of the pit blood red!
Vic ascended step by step, reaching the same height as Imu, before lightly touching the air with his toes and hovering steadily in mid-air.
With his God Realm strength, he possesses countless methods to achieve levitation:
The God Realm's inherent ability to float in mid-air, the magnetic levitation driven by the Law of Lightning, the invisible support of the Law of Wind, and the fixed-point replacement constructed by the Law of Space...
But Vic chose the most primitive Geppo, and it was Geppo that had reached perfection. With just the seemingly slight movement of his toes, he was able to support his not-so-light body and float in the air as if walking on flat ground.
"Should we resurrect them again and try once more?"
Vic faced Imu directly, his tone calm and indifferent.
In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had utterly annihilated the phantom beasts and legendary pirates summoned by Imu through the transformation of the ethereal into reality, which spoke volumes.
If Imu still insists on resurrecting these mythical beasts and legendary beings, then he must be out of his mind!
For a powerhouse like him, the ability to recover is already beyond comprehension. Much of his power is borrowed from the world, and the consumption on his own body is negligible.
Hoping to wear him down with these methods? That's wishful thinking.
The domineering Haki he had just expended in killing Roger and his two companions, along with the horde of phantom beasts, was completely restored by the special energy of heaven and earth when he rose to mid-air in front of Imu. This was the key to how top-tier powerhouses could fight for several days straight!
No one can sustain their Haki for ten days and ten nights indefinitely. True powerhouses always recover while fighting, their vitality endless!
"There's really no need to try again."
Imu remained calm, his tone revealing no sign of concern.
"They're just for keeping you company, better than nothing."
The moment Vic punched Whitebeard's head, she had already stopped interfering with the summoned creatures—otherwise, Whitebeard would have immediately revived after falling, and Vic would have faced an endless stream of enemies.
