Am I going to die here?
Smoker's consciousness grew weaker and weaker, and his thoughts were about to cease; these were Smoker's last thoughts.
Pizarro was feeling smug, preparing to crush Smoker's neck, when a voice reached his ears. The voice was calm, but Pizarro's hand unconsciously loosened its grip slightly.
"Hey! That guy you're holding is my friend, can you put him down?"
At this time, the amusement park
" Rebecca, why did Vic fly away?"
After Hina got off the Ferris wheel, she asked Rebecca what she had seen on it: Vic had left at incredible speed using Geppo.
" Vic just said he has something important to do and told us to go back to base and wait for him!" Rebecca replied.
"Alright then, we've had enough fun anyway. It's just that Smoker never showed up, what a downer!"
The person who arrived was Vic. His Observation Haki sensed that Smoker was in danger, and he rushed here as fast as he could, finally arriving just as Smoker was about to breathe his last.
Feeling Pizarro loosen his grip slightly, and Smoker regaining his breathing, Vic didn't immediately make a move; he stood behind Pizarro, calming himself down.
This time, Vic really ran at full speed, and no one at the scene noticed how someone suddenly appeared there.
"It's Orens Vic. What's he doing here all of a sudden?"
" Vic is also a Marine, right? He's here to rescue people!"
"That navy officer's life is saved; he's really lucky!"
"Hahaha, someone's going to be in trouble!"
"Finally, someone came to my rescue? Waaah!" The woman sitting on the ground finally burst into tears.
Pizarro turned to look at Vic, his face filled with surprise and uncertainty. He was very strong, but he hadn't figured out how Vic had suddenly appeared. If Vic attacked him directly, he would definitely not be able to dodge it.
"Hey, isn't this the famous Navy Rookie? What are you doing here all of a sudden? Are you here to save this piece of trash? Tell me, are you faster or should I snap his neck first?" Pizarro threatened, not letting go of Smoker.
" Corrupt King, it's you! I felt those two horns looked familiar. What? Want to test my speed?"
Vic was completely unconcerned; he was confident he could cut off Vic's hand before Pizarro could react.
This Pizarro was the captain of the crew under Blackbeard, one of the Four Emperors. He was a ruthless man who fought his way out of Impel Down Level 6, so you can imagine how powerful he is. Although he is only twenty-four years old now, his strength is far beyond that of Smoker. However, Vic has the strength to suppress him.
"Looks like the Corrupt King is going to be Impel Down ahead of schedule. Let's see if we can kill him this time!"
Vic thought about some things about this Pizarro. Judging from his title, he was no good person. He must have a story. People say that there are no wrong nicknames, only wrong names.
"Hey, Corrupt King, how did you become a pirate? I'm a little curious!" Vic ignored Smoker, who was still being held up by one hand. It was good for him to realize his own limitations and remember the humiliation he was suffering. Anyway, Vic could save him at any time. Now, it wouldn't be bad to hear Pizarro's story.
"Hahaha, me? I used to be a king of the North Blue!" The five-meter-tall Pizarro laughed with a hint of mockery, a trace of reminiscence in his eyes!
"Oh, how ironic, a king becoming a pirate!" Vic hadn't expected this guy to have been a king before.
"Hahaha, of course it's because being king is so boring! My people have all been scared away by my decrees! There's no one left! Who am I supposed to be king of?" Pizarro seemed somewhat disdainful, his long blue mustache twitching as he spoke.
Vic thought about it and agreed. The title "Corrupt King" suggested a bad ruler, or at least an official, but he never expected the king to be one.
"Alright, you've heard the story, enough nonsense, put him down!" Vic said, placing his hand on the hilt of his knife.
Pizarro's heart tightened immediately. Vic was not someone he had in his grasp; he was a man with a reputation earned through hard work and real skill.
He was unsure of Vic's true strength, whether he was a match for him, and whether he should fight or simply run away.
Seeing that Pizarro didn't respond for a long time, Vic stopped wasting words and disappeared instantly, appearing in front of Pizarro in a flash, already drawing his knife, ready to cut off his arm.
Pizarro was startled. He had no idea how Vic got there, but his sense of danger was incredibly strong.
He imagined his own arm being severed, so he quickly released Smoker and retreated rapidly, getting away from Vic.
Vic caught Smoker, Smoker opened his eyes slightly and glanced at Vic with a complicated expression.
"You're not dead yet, are you? Who told you to go buy cigarettes? You almost lost your life!"
Vic chuckled and teased, then placed Smoker next to the blue-haired woman.
"Take good care of him!"
After turning around, Vic said something and walked towards Pizarro, but Smoker's weak voice came from behind him.
"Arrest him and put him in jail!"
Upon hearing the sound, Vic paused for a moment, waved his hand with his back turned, and continued walking forward.
Vic had already sheathed his sword after making one strike. Vic was curious about how strong this guy was. He had been fighting Smoker for a while and was clean-shaven, while Smoker looked like someone who had been tortured. This showed that Pizarro was not weak.
Vic vanished instantly, appearing in front of Pizarro Pizarro delivering a punch that struck Pizarro in the face, sending Pizarro flying a great distance where he rolled on the ground for a while before coming to a stop.
Pizarro quickly stood up, and his swollen cheeks recovered rapidly, demonstrating a strong ability to heal.
"Good resilience, you've got some potential!"
This time, Vic didn't use his maximum speed; he just rushed over at his normal pace. The two exchanged blows, punching and kicking each other for several minutes. After that, Vic punched Pizarro, knocking him back, and then jumped back a few steps.
"His strength is also very high, his defense is good, and his recovery is very fast. This is not a body that a human could have! But he is still not as good as me!" Vic thought to himself.
This is treating yourself like you're not even human; you're even insulting yourself!
Without probing further, Vic Armament Haki Hardening, took a step that shattered the ground, and instantly appeared in front of Pizarro.
When Pizarro saw Vic use Armament Haki, his expression changed, and he quickly covered his hands with Haki as well. He didn't use Haki as extravagantly as Vic.
Pizarro couldn't withstand Vic's attacks at all. He hadn't even used his Ryuo yet, and Pizarro was already struggling to keep up. His face was twitching, and his hands would tremble several times each time he blocked an attack, as if he was in excruciating pain.
Pizarro was inferior to Vic in Armament Haki and Observation Haki. He was quickly beaten black and blue by Vic, as the damage caused by Haki is not so easy to recover from.
Finally, Pizarro couldn't take it anymore. He knew that if things continued like this, he would be beaten to death by Vic. After blocking Vic's attack with all his might, he quickly retreated to create distance.
Pizarro's body began to change; first, scales grew on his body surface, and horns grew on his head.
"Huh? Zoan transformation, another dragon?" Vic was somewhat surprised.
Pizarro's transformation continued; its human head slowly transformed into a dragon's head, its scales grew larger, its antlers became deer antlers, its eyes resembled a tiger's, and its body resembled a deer. A strange beast about fifty meters long appeared.
"Holy crap, Kirin!" Vic exclaimed in shock, swearing as he spoke.
Vic was absolutely blown away. He had just gotten rid of a Azure Dragon, and now a Kirin had appeared. His luck was unbelievable. It seemed that the mythical beasts of China were indeed drawn to him!
The onlookers, seeing yet another strange beast appear, were instantly unsettled. What was going on lately? Was this still the same world? It didn't seem familiar at all! The onlookers were completely dumbfounded.
" Vic and the alien beasts are truly destined for each other!"
"That's Devil Fruit User, and the previous one was probably one too!"
"These are all species I've never heard of before? Did these creatures really exist in this world?"
"This one is smaller, so it probably isn't that strong, right?"
"So that wasn't his full strength after all? Heh! The top dog in the Elite Camp!" Smoker lay in the beauty's arms, his eyes slightly open, looking at the giant beast.
"Hahaha, what? Scared out of your wits! I'm Zoan Ox-Ox Fruit user, Mythical Zoan, Kirin form! My defense and regeneration are unparalleled! What do you think you can do against me!"
After Pizarro finished speaking, he opened his mouth and unleashed a fireball at Vic.
