Just as Vic continued to use his laser to cut through the giant's head, Bullet swiftly released purple energy to absorb the separated limbs back, transforming the giant back into a complete giant with six arms and two legs.
Moreover, an even stronger Haki was released, covering the entire giant once more, making the giant's color even deeper. Vic was once again sent flying by an arm that suddenly stretched out from behind the giant.
When Vic flew back and used his laser to cut again, he discovered that the giant's entire body was now covered in a powerful Haki capable of withstanding his laser.
Moreover, Bullet's attacks became even more ferocious. It's estimated that this state is very taxing on his Haki. He probably wants to finish the battle quickly. So, Vic plans to stall for time, just like the old man and the others in the original work, and directly exhaust Bullet until he is exhausted before capturing him alive.
However, there's a saying that even a master can be defeated by a novice's punches. Moreover, Bullet's punches weren't just random; his attacks were very methodical. With all six arms working together, it was as if Vic was being attacked by several well-coordinated individuals.
Bullet's relentless attacks finally found an opening in Vic's defenses. Well, it wasn't exactly an opening; there were just too many attacks to keep up with. Just as Vic was surrounded by six arms and had nowhere to grab hold, two of the staggered arms closed in on Vic.
"Don't want!"
Seeing this, Gion was terrified. She didn't know where she got the power, but her speed exceeded her limits, and she directly knocked Vic, who was between the two giant hands, away.
Only when Gion watched Vic fly away did she reveal a relieved and relieved smile. She only had time to cover a small amount of her Haki on her body before she was engulfed by two giant hands!
"No!"
Vic stared at the slender figure struck by the giant hand, his eyes bloodshot. His heart ached terribly, and he found it hard to breathe.
In that instant, he felt as if he had lost an important friend or relative in his life. This was the first time he had ever felt such a strong emotion in this world. The last time was with Rebecca's grandmother, but the meaning of that death was completely different from what he felt now. This time, it was much stronger and more painful.
"Sigh! Why won't he listen to me! Vic hasn't reached his limit yet! He's just letting his concern cloud his judgment!"
Garp knew things were going to go wrong the moment Gion rushed out, but he didn't know how Gion suddenly gained such speed. He couldn't stop her in time and could only watch helplessly as Gion was swatted in his palm like a fly!
In Garp's mind, Vic still had other options. Even if he got slapped twice, it wasn't a big deal. He could just watch and watch without lifting a finger. So when Gion rushed out, he hadn't fully realized what was going on.
After saying this, Garp disappeared from the spot and reappeared in front of the giant, his fist swinging behind him, gathering power, Ryuo and Conqueror's Haki.
Garp punched the giant's clasped hands, shattering the two hands that were still clenched, and then caught the blood-soaked, somewhat deformed figure amidst the rubble. Geppo carried the unconscious and limp Gion back to the crowd.
"Quickly, save them!"
Garp returned to the group and gave them a shout before gently laying Gion's body flat on the ground.
Although Gion covered herself with Armament Haki at the last moment, it's hard to say how much Haki defense could have been effective given the limited time.
At this moment, in Garp's perception, Gion's skin was cracked and bleeding everywhere, her clothes were stained red with blood!
Her internal bones were broken beyond recognition. When Garp picked her up just now, he noticed that Gion was limp and boneless, which showed how badly her internal bones had been damaged!
His breathing was so weak it was barely a whisper. Even in this world, the chances of healing such an injury were extremely slim. Even if he didn't die now, he would most likely be paralyzed on one side in the future. Garp's brows were furrowed and his face was grave.
There was no ship's doctor among the people next to Garp, but fortunately Barnett was there. His Replenish-Replenish Fruit also had healing effects, so Barnett quickly came forward and used his ability to treat Gion.
Seeing Gion's state, Rebecca could no longer hold back and burst into tears. She had been too shocked to speak when Gion rushed out, stunned by Gion's actions, but now she finally came to her senses and let out a sob.
Everyone else looked at Gion with concern, but there was nothing they could do to help her. She was probably the most seriously injured person in this battle, and her life was in danger!
Vic was losing control of his emotions. A region in his mind was being frantically attacked, but it was just a hair's breadth away from being broken through. However, Vic had no time to pay attention to this change. All he wanted to do now was kill Bullet.
Vic stood high in the sky, tossed Blood Wither Dried Up into the air, then stretched out his arms, palms facing each other with a loose clench, leaving a space the size of a basketball between them, with arcs of electricity flashing on his palms.
At that moment, the Blood Wither Blood Wither, thrown into the air, landed precisely in the space between his hands. It stopped falling there and hovered in the space between his hands, the hilt pointing at Vic's chest, while the tip pointed at the giant who had just struck Gion.
At this moment, Blood Wither was still pure black, and the Haki wrapped around it had not yet dissipated. Blood Wither Dry hovered between his two hands, trembling incessantly.
"Die!"
With a furious roar, Vic unleashed Blood Wither, its speed leaving afterimages in its wake. The meter-long Blood Wither transformed into a black line, striking the giant's neck as it charged towards Vic, disappearing completely and ignoring Bullet's enhanced Haki defense.
The charging giant seemed to be paused. Although it maintained its running posture, the enormous inertia caused it to tumble to the ground and slide for more than ten meters before coming to a complete stop. Then, the giant began to slowly collapse, and the various substances that had been condensed together broke off one by one.
After the giant fell, Vic calmed down considerably; his expression was no longer ferocious, and his eyes were no longer bloodshot.
Vic glanced at the fallen giant and then ignored him, quickly going to Gion's side and using his lightning ability to invade her body and sense her condition.
According to Vic's perception, Gion's injuries were comparable to those of Sing, who had been attacked by the Beast. And this was after Barnett had treated her once. One can imagine how serious Gion's injuries were before the treatment.
However, to Vic's relief, Gion's breathing had improved considerably. She was no longer in a state of barely breathing and on the verge of dying. As long as she hadn't stopped breathing, there was still hope for her recovery with Vic!
