"Stop pretending! You've been exposed. Tell me, what organization sent you? What do you want with these people?"
Vic stood up and walked towards the two old men playing chess. He was also wondering if these people were sent by the World Government. He knew perfectly well that the World Government often used such despicable methods to protect the Celestial Dragons.
"Hahaha! I never expected you guys to see through such a flawless operation. Can you tell me how you figured it out?"
Especially you, you sat right next to the model as soon as you arrived and even touched it a few times. You probably noticed that then, right?
An elderly man dressed as a fisherman with Whitebeard stood up from the chessboard, laughing loudly. He took a few steps toward Vic and asked with a smile. He felt that his plan and operation were perfect, but the Marine Vice Admiral had seen through it in an instant. He couldn't understand it and could only sigh in his heart, " The Vice Admiral of the Marine Headquarters is really extraordinary. We can't be careless in the upcoming battle."
The old fisherman slowly approached Vic and his group, and the rest of the fishing village gradually gathered behind him. Men, women, and children all came together, creating a somewhat eerie and comical scene. Were even little kids considered bad guys?
The composition of this group is far too complex. This group seems like a bunch of naive fishermen from a fishing village, right? Why would they imprison other islanders? Is it out of hardship? Self-interest? Grudges? Or something else? This is something that Vic and his group find hard to understand.
"Looks like you're still a newbie, huh? You just entered the Grand Line from the Four Blues, right? There's a power called Haki, which can sense all kinds of auras, including human auras, so finding out where someone is is a piece of cake!"
"I'd like to know what Law God you used to kidnap everyone on the island so stealthily?"
When Vic heard what the old man, who looked like a fisherman, said, he knew that these people were unlikely to be on the side of the World Government. Even if they were sent by the World Government, their relationship was only based on mutual interests. He could kill them all without any consequences; the World Government wouldn't bother him for it and would simply pretend not to know anything.
However, Vic still wanted to know how these people managed to transfer everyone into the model. What kind of Devil Fruit ability was this? They were bound to fight later, so it was necessary to understand the ability. This ability clearly had spatial properties, and if they didn't understand it, they might escape.
"Hahaha! I never imagined such power existed in this world! My blunder. As for how I did it, I can't possibly tell you."
Mora stroked his beard, though a bead of cold sweat clung to his forehead. He hadn't been on the Grand Line for long, having come from the West Blue, and his lack of experience had led him astray.
He'd never heard of such a thing as Haki. He thought his plan was flawless, but in the eyes of someone with Haki, it was just a joke. He was actually afraid that someone would use a trick to get close to him and then stab him in the back. As for telling others about his abilities? He'd be a fool to say that.
Mora's words made Vic chuckle. In the past, he would always remain silent when others introduced themselves, but this time he revealed his identity while the other party kept it a secret. What goes around comes around!
As soon as Mora finished speaking, she clasped her hands together in front of her and then pulled them apart, revealing a circular, semi-transparent, light-membrane-like object in front of her.
Immediately afterward, Mora withdrew his hands and punched towards the center of the light membrane. Vic was just waiting for this guy to reveal his secrets, wasn't that a characteristic of this world? Unexpectedly, this guy didn't play by the rules, not only did he not say anything, but he also launched an attack directly.
Before Vic could react, a giant fist suddenly shot out from the translucent light membrane and struck Vic directly in the chest!
Caught off guard, Vic was sent flying several meters by the punch. The punch from that huge arm was actually not that powerful, about the same as that of Giant Race, and it didn't do any real harm to Vic. It was just that he was caught off guard by the sudden attack and was knocked back.
However, this sudden attack also allowed Vic to observe Mora's attack method. Mora's arm reached into the semi-transparent light membrane, and then the fist and arm that passed through the light membrane grew to hundreds of times larger and longer. Although he saw the attack method clearly, Vic still couldn't guess what kind of ability it was, but it was indeed somewhat related to space.
After Mora knocked Vic away, she didn't retract her arm. Instead, she opened her huge palm to grab Rebecca, who had been standing next to Vic.
Rebecca had been using her Observation Haki from the beginning, and she had already seen through Mora's moves. She assumed that Vic had also seen through them, so she didn't warn him. Unexpectedly, Vic fell for her trick.
"Fine, you can attack Vic then, but if you want to capture me, you'll have to pay the price. "Vic Rebecca drew Aizen's Aizen from her waist and stabbed him between the giant hands.
"Ouch! That hurts! That hurts!"
Mora's enormous hand, injured and in pain, dared not grab Rebecca anymore. It instantly withdrew from the light membrane and used its other hand to blow on the injured hand.
A few drops of blood suddenly flowed from his palm, and a small wound appeared on his hand. Although the wound was small, it was very deep. Although Rebecca stabbed a giant's palm, Aizen's sword had also penetrated more than halfway into it. Even when scaled down proportionally, it would still be a very deep wound. He, who did not understand Haki, was immediately injured.
After Rebecca stabbed Mora, she glanced back at Vic, and Vic also glanced at Rebecca; their eyes met.
Rebecca's eyes held a question, while Vic's eyes probed further; neither could immediately discern what ability it was.
Vic didn't plan to make a move either. It was just a pirate crew that had just arrived on the Grand Line; he only needed to prevent Mora from escaping.
Barnett and his men moved away from the two when they saw they were already fighting. Mora had quite a few people behind him, whom they also needed to be wary of. They would make their move once Rebecca's side had stabilized.
"You little brat, you have no sportsmanship! You're using a weapon against an unarmed old man like me. I won't hold back anymore!"
Mora frowned, clearly in pain from the wound on his hand. He had been feeling quite pleased with himself after his sneak attack on Vic, thinking that Marine Vice Admiral was nothing special, but he hadn't expected to be stabbed so soon. His hand felt like it had been half-pierced by a barbecue skewer, and he was in excruciating pain.
Mora didn't mince words. He reached into his pocket and somehow pulled out a long knife, stabbing it directly at the light membrane. Instantly, a huge blade appeared on the other side of the light membrane, swiftly thrusting out towards Rebecca.
When the entire longsword and Mora's giant hand appeared on the other side of the light membrane, the sword was forty or fifty meters long and five or six meters wide. The entire sword pierced through the air and attacked Rebecca. Before the sword even reached Rebecca's eyes, the whistling sound of the air cutting through it had already reached her ears.
