When Luffy and his crew arrived at Laugh Tale, Uranus's hatching was probably in its final stages. He only hatched after Vic left, which is why he missed seeing him!
Or perhaps there's a specific method needed to hatch that giant egg, and Luffy and his crew just happened to find the hatching method in a piece of Poneglyph!
Roger and his crew may have seen the contents of a certain Poneglyph, which is why they carried the giant egg with them all the way to Laugh Tale!
This also explains why the giant egg that Roger Pirates had been carrying on board disappeared after they returned from Laugh Tale!
This can be considered a small loop in Joy Boy's plan, and it's normal that Vic didn't deliberately collect the Poneglyph and didn't know some of the content.
Just as Vic and Imu were talking about Uranus, Uranus had already entered a berserk mode of rampage, and its only target was Imu's clone!
The Uranus possesses speed, defense, and offensive capabilities, making him far superior to any clone!
"What is that? How could it be so fast!"
With Uranus's intervention, the pressure on Luffy and his crew was greatly reduced, and Ace was able to focus on Uranus's battle. Seeing the Western Dragon rapidly reaping Imu's clones, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This is a powerful reinforcement!"
"It's the wind! Its body is always enveloped in the wind; it's riding the wind!"
Dragon explained that, as the person most skilled at manipulating the wind here, he sensed the strong Law of Wind as soon as the Western Dragon appeared.
If light and lightning are the top-tier speeds in nature, then wind is the leading speed in the second tier. This is also a key factor that allowed the Western dragon to eliminate its clones one after another in a short period of time.
" Luffy! You recognize it?"
Garp's eyes shone with an astonishing light. This suddenly appearing Western dragon from the God Realm seemed to have a close relationship with his grandson's pirate crew!
If we add this Western dragon, could the three of them, all at the God Realm, together defeat Imu? That idea is incredibly exciting!
"Grandpa! You mean Xiao Guai? We brought it from Laugh Tale. They say it's called Uranus Us something, and it's emergency rations when food is scarce, hahaha!"
Thump!
"Fool! Using the Ancient Weapon Uranus as emergency rations? How could I have a grandson like you? Hahahaha!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
As soon as Luffy finished speaking, Garp used the Six Powers "Shave" to teleport above Luffy's head and punched him, instantly raising a large bump on his head!
Even the Sun God Nika couldn't withstand the Fist of Love!
On the other side, Dragon covered his face, thinking that his adopted son was too unreliable. Garp, on the other hand, burst into laughter after Garp fight, as did Ace. They both understood Luffy's personality!
Putting everything else aside, the arrival of the Uranus did give everyone a boost of morale. At least the atmosphere wasn't as tense as before, and the problem of Imu's clone was also resolved!
With Uranus around, Imu's clones no longer pose a threat. The next step is to figure out how to eliminate Imu!
The Uranus was very efficient; in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had eliminated all of Imu's clones, and Im did not summon any new clones Imu.
With the Uranus around, it's useless for her to summon more. Just like with Vic, he can easily kill a clone with a single move if he wants, which is simpler than her summoning one. So why bother continuing to summon?
After defeating all of Imu's clones, Uranus roared and greeted the Straw Hat Pirates before joining the battle to besiege Imu.
Uranus cannot speak human language, but Luffy and Vic, who have mastered the Voice of All Things, can hear what it wants to say.
Another attack was blocked by Imu's Haki. Vic stopped attacking and started supporting the Uranus!
After blocking Imu's trident with a single strike, the Uranus seized the opportunity and clawed at Imu's wide-open chest!
This claw strike was incredibly fierce, seemingly capable of tearing through space itself. The air emitted a sharp, shrill sound, and even Vic's eyes twitched at the sight of it, sensing the threat!
Fortunately, this move was aimed at Imu, which forced him to suppress the defensive emotions rising in his heart!
"Clang~"
The claws struck as if against an impenetrable wall, producing a tremendous crash that even echoed for a long time!
The claw, which could almost tear space apart, still couldn't break through Imu's Haki defense. Vic had encountered this situation many times before. No matter how he tried to provoke him or change his moves, Imu was always surrounded by Haki and left no opening!
"Still not working!"
Vic sighed inwardly, but did not give up. This was only the first move the Uranus had made to Imu. The Uranus had many tricks up his sleeve, and he had to try them all at least once!
Vic thought that the Uranus was pure of heart and would never give up. As long as Vic created an opportunity for it, it would immediately unleash its killing move!
However, after several moves, the effect was not significant. Like Vic, it could only inflict some damage through the opponent's Haki defense!
However, these injuries are not fatal, and with the healing effect of the Law of Immortality, it's no different from no one being hurt at all!
Seeing this, Garp, who had been eager to join the attack, did not step forward to reveal his strength, nor was he confident that he could inflict fatal damage on Imu in his current state!
Thus, the two humans and one beast remained locked in a stalemate for another fifteen minutes, with no result yet!
Just then, a whooshing sound came from the horizon, attracting everyone's attention. Given the current state of the situation, even the slightest external change would stir everyone's emotions, and this time was no exception!
As the sound of air being torn apart grew louder, the unknown creature, which had been just a small dot a moment ago, revealed its humanoid outline and flew straight towards them, just like Imu and Vic, flying upright!
Everyone already knows that this unique way of flying can only be done by experts at the God Realm. This makes people wonder if another expert at the God Realm is coming. It's just a matter of which side he'll be helping!
Vic initially thought it was that mysterious, powerful figure in black robes who had arrived, but after releasing his Observation Haki, he was disappointed!
It wasn't that senior who came; instead, it was a giant ancient robot that he had discovered inside a mountain containing Poneglyph when he was in the Navy!
The robot had only turned on its eyelight to scan the area before going silent again. I never expected it to come here today!
Vic had also seen one of these robots in Vegapunk, where Egghead was located, though it was rather damaged. After the Egghead incident, Vic used the Law of Space to transfer it to Vegapunk's new research facility.
Others might not know, but Vic and Imu did. Imu knew she had no such ally, and Vic knew that this was an ancient robot left behind by Joy Boy, and could never be an enemy!
They've arrived at this time, so they're probably here to join the battle, but I wonder how strong they are!
