"Hmm? So it's Thunder God Vic. I didn't expect you to still be on Sabaody Archipelago. You'd better stay a few more days, lest you leave and then have to come back."
Those few hotheads! They got caught in an undeserved disaster. A group of lawless pirates on the island attacked a Celestial Dragons, Celestial Dragons. The Five Elders said they would wipe out all the pirates on the island, and that's when I got into trouble—I was conscripted!
At first, Kizaru did not notice Vic's arrival, not even when Vic was having dinner with Bonney at a restaurant not far away.
One reason Kizaru didn't use his Observation Haki was that he didn't take the Supernovas seriously.
Another reason is that Vic's strength has reached a certain level, giving him a sense of returning to simplicity. When he doesn't use his power, he's just like an ordinary person and won't attract the special attention of strong people.
Even if one releases Observation Haki, it might be easily swept away and no longer noticed, which is why Kizaru only saw him after Vic spoke.
However, Vic's appearance was very special. The familiar twin swords were no longer at his waist. Instead, a little girl replaced them, and the Thunder Drum that appeared and disappeared was floating behind him. Therefore, Kizaru called Vic the Thunder God. Obviously, he also knew that the drum behind Vic's head was related to his Devil Fruit ability. It had already been named in the Navy as the Thunder Drum.
"Oh! They're going to wipe them all out in one fell swoop! How scary! I'm a pirate too, are they going to arrest me too?"
"Do you think we don't want to capture him? What can we do if we can't beat him?" Kizaru thought to himself.
Vic glanced at the Supernovas who had regained consciousness and said. The others were also looking at Vic. They naturally recognized Vic. How many pirates among the Shichibukai didn't know him? Let alone the elites who could come to the Sabaody Archipelago.
The photo on Vic's bounty poster is the one with the Thunder Drum on the back of his head. This is a new photo that the World Government gave him after he became Shichibukai. They felt that this version of Vic was more intimidating and better reflected the powerful and oppressive feeling of the Shichibukai!
So when these people saw the iconic Thunder Drum behind Vic, they immediately recognized him. As for why the restaurant owner didn't recognize him, it was naturally because Vic didn't want him to. When you're treating someone to a meal, you don't need a group of people waiting on you around, it really affects their appetite!
At this moment, the Supernovas looked curiously at Vic on the roof. Seeing such a figure, their own injuries seemed less important.
"Although you're a pirate too, you're a pirate recognized by the World Government, so you're not on their list of targets. See that big guy? Dr. Vegapunk's latest invention. The fact that he didn't react to you says it all. Is that little girl your daughter? She's so cute!"
Kizaru knew that Vic was mocking him. Not to mention that he didn't need to pay attention to the Shichibukai, even if the Five Elders asked him to pay attention, it wouldn't make a difference. He was no match for Vic more than ten years ago, and now the gap was probably even greater. In addition, the android was useless. The android probably couldn't even withstand one move from Vic.
However, compared to Vic, Kizaru was more interested in the little girl with limbs hanging down Vic's waist. At first glance, Kizaru took a liking to the little girl, and a sense of familiarity welled up inside him.
"Oh, she's a friend's daughter. I brought her out today to treat her to dinner. She's full now and doesn't want to move. Since she's not here to arrest me, I'm leaving!"
Vic glanced at the other Supernovas. They had already come to their senses. Although they were curious about Vic legendary figure, their lives were more important now, and getting out of Kizaru's sight was the priority.
While Vic and Kizaru were chatting, the cunning Apoo had already disappeared into the buildings, and the others were also ready to escape.
After glancing at the Supernovas, Vic turned his attention to the android. This product, originally modeled after Kuma, had been completely transformed. Apart from still being a small giant, only its robotic eyes were the same as the modified Kuma's. This was a deliberate modification to facilitate scanning.
As for the face, this android is more mechanized than Kuma and looks more dull. Anyway, Vic has never seen this face before and doesn't know where Vegapunk found the original body. Of course, it is more likely that it was sent by the World Government.
"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off!"
Kizaru naturally couldn't restrict Vic's actions. He could only go along with others' politeness. Then he saw Vic use Geppo, disappearing among the branches of the Yarukiman Mangrove with a few aerial stomps.
He had never seen such a profound Geppo in the Navy. If Vic hadn't left the Navy, he would probably be the number one Geppo in the Navy. Kizaru thought to himself as he looked at the dappled shadows of the trees where Vic was no longer present. But what's done is done!
Vic didn't use any more sophisticated methods to leave, naturally because he didn't want to expose himself. Using Geppo in front of Kizaru was the most appropriate option, since everyone knew he could use Geppo anyway!
After leaving Kizaru Vic went straight to the Straw Hat Pirates's location, hiding himself on a mangrove tree trunk not too far from Luffy. What followed was a momentous occasion that would change the Straw Hat Pirates's fate!
Vic used his Observation Haki to discover that Kuma, like him, was hiding in a mangrove trunk, while on the ground, the Straw Hat Pirates's three main fighters were battling the androids.
The android couldn't last more than half a move against Vic, but it fought to a standstill against the three main fighters of the Straw Hat Pirates. The android was modified from Colon, and when choosing the Colon's original body, Vegapunk took into full consideration the original body's physical strength, power, speed, and other factors.
In the original work, Vegapunk had his eye on Kuma, Kuma is a special race and excels in all aspects of physical fitness. Later, the Seraphim even used the Lineage Factor of King, one of the All-Stars. So from this, we can see Vegapunk's strictness towards his own works.
He is a perfectionist inventor and would never choose a useless person as a model. In addition, with Kizaru's Laser Beam, the three main fighters can barely hold off the android. They dare not even touch the Laser Beam fired by the android!
Not far away, Sentomaru, carrying a large axe, was also watching intently. This was the first time the androids had come out to carry out a mission, and they needed to collect a lot of data. Otherwise, Sentomaru would have already taken action himself. He wasn't even a formal Marine yet, so he still needed to prove himself.
Not long after, Sentomaru finally got through on the phone, and then Kizaru rushed over. The Straw Hat Pirates was already struggling against an android, and now with a Marine Admiral on their side, the situation was plunged into despair!
Kizaru's main mission in coming to the Sabaody Archipelago is to capture the murderer who beat up the Celestial Dragons, and most importantly, to make an example of him!
The Celestial Dragons are not people anyone can fight. If the culprit who kills Celestial Dragons can get away with it, then the Celestial Dragons ' status and prestige will be a joke, and many people will follow suit.
So after receiving Sentomaru's call, Kizaru immediately rushed to the main character's location. As for Vic, the madman who had killed Celestial Dragons, the Five Elders and the Navy's high command had selectively forgotten about him!
"How terrifying! Is this the Straw Hat Boy who beat up the Celestial Dragons? Such a small guy, yet he's so bold. You're really going to cause me a lot of trouble!"
After arriving at the battlefield, Kizaru first observed the members of the Straw Hat Pirates before walking step by step into the battlefield. His goal was clear: to defeat the Celestial Dragons, Straw Hat Boy Luffy.
Upon seeing Kizaru enter the battlefield, the android immediately changed its target, abandoning its three main fighters and attacking the remaining enemies.
"Uncle! Who are you? Are you their boss?"
Luffy watched Kizaru approach him, panting heavily as he asked, "I'm really exhausted. The android has thick skin and laser beams, so it's hard for my attacks to break through its defenses. I'm spending most of my time dodging the Laser Beam."
Zoro and Sanji beside him were in the same boat, panting heavily now that they had no opponent, but the fear in their eyes deepened. Kizaru, who was walking over, looked like a tough opponent!
