The Celestial Dragons' attitude of taking whatever they wanted from the world, and for a full 800 years, was simply unbelievable to Vic!
If it weren't for the extraordinary power in this world, the Celestial Dragons would have been wiped out long ago. Even if they weren't, they wouldn't dare call themselves Celestial Dragons anymore. These parasites still dare to stand openly; are they afraid others won't find a target for revenge?
"A sense of urgency? You don't actually think a few pirates and Rebel Army can accomplish anything, do you? Looks like you've really teamed up with the Revolutionary Army! You deserve to die!"
Although Imu knew that Joy Boy had made arrangements before his death, and that Nika seemed to be growing well in this generation, he had already issued the plan to Cleansing. Whether it was Sun God Nika or Poseidon the Ancient Weapon, they all had to die!
To be honest, he didn't feel much urgency, but Vic's mockery and attitude towards the World Government fueled his murderous intent. How dare a mere pirate Four Emperors criticize him, the King of the World? He was simply asking for trouble!
"Die!" *5
Imu's intense killing intent swept over everyone, which served as a signal. The Five Elders launched an attack instantly, repeatedly pulling the triggers of their golden pistols until the bullets were all fired.
The bald Five Elders, wielding their swords, finally drew their Supreme Great Grade Sword, the Shodai Kitetsu. After posing for so long, they could finally move. A dazzling flash of light appeared in the dark room, and the soft hum of the Flying Slash drowned out all the gunshots!
Although the Five Elders ' flintlock pistols are all made of gold, a gun is still a gun. Without special abilities or Armament Haki enhancement, even if it's made of the most dazzling gold, its power is just so-so.
All the bullets fired by the Five Elders were blocked by Vic's three-foot -Haki wall of Haki. In fact, even if they hadn't been blocked, he wouldn't have been injured. With his elemental transformation and Future Sight, ordinary bullets couldn't hurt him.
However, if that were the case, Cobra behind him would be riddled with holes, and Vic isn't the type to disregard his own safety.
Only the swordsman among the Five Elders was somewhat noteworthy, but his slash was mostly a probe, and like the other Five Elders, it didn't contain any other elements. It was shattered by the instantaneous release of the Haki aura surrounding Vic.
Vic felt insulted by the Five Elders ' attacks. Even if he displayed strength at the level of Four Emperors), these old guys shouldn't be so dismissive of him, should they?
You think such a simple attack can hurt me? Don't I, Thunder God Vic, Four Emperors, have any dignity? Anyone who didn't know better would think you five were traitors who were holding back from killing me!
"Roar!"*5
Seeing that Vic had been hit by a barrage of swords and spears from the five elders without any reaction, and was even nearly hit by a bullet that had bounced back, leaving so many bullet holes in the sacred room, the Five Elders were immediately enraged. They each roared and began to transform.
"Huh? You guys are also Devil Fruit users? And all of you are Zoan? You can still fight at your age?"
" Sabo! Get King Cobra out of here immediately!"
Seeing the Five Elders' bodies twist and grow larger, Vic knew that the Five Elders were about to transform. Although he had never seen the Five Elders make a move in his past and present lives, he had analyzed that these five old men were definitely not ordinary civil officials!
The old bald man who always carried a knife gave us a clue, and the five men's titles of Warrior God made it all very clear.
Vic, however, was unaware that these five were all Devil Fruit users, specifically Zoan users. Wasn't it said that the Celestial Dragons looked down on Devil Fruit?
The Five Elders are considered high-ranking members of the Celestial Dragons, and they're also Zoan! Vic realized he'd underestimated Zoan abilities. Even the Five Elders chose Zoan, and Nika is Zoan too—could Zoan be the ultimate answer?
"Oh? Okay, Mr. Vic!"
Vic's mind raced; after circling around, he didn't forget to tell Cobra and Sabo to leave first.
The transformations of these five old men were already beginning to show. They were all creatures that Vic had never seen before, but judging from their ferocious appearances, they were definitely not weak. Even Sabo would be in danger here now.
On the contrary, Vic alone is safer and more flexible, as he can fight and escape. He wants to see what kind of strength the Five Elders, who hold the highest power in the World Government, really have, and what kind of strength the King of the World Imu, who is hiding behind the scenes, has. He wants to see which of them is stronger in the God Realm!
At this moment, the Five Elders ' transformations ended. Indeed, none of the animals that Vic was familiar with were present. Although they looked similar to several animals, these animals had already mutated as if they had been infected with a zombie virus.
Although each animal had Flame Clouds floating on its shoulder, it didn't really resemble a typical Zoan ability. Except for Saturn, the giant spider, which still retained a human head, the other four were simply transformed into animals.
The Five Elders with glasses turned into a giant horse made entirely of bones; the bald Five Elders with a mark on their foreheads turned into a huge wild boar; the Five Elders with long beards and hair turned into a strange bird with a snake's tail; and the Five Elders with blond hair turned into a giant worm with its mouth wide open.
Vic guessed these were some relatively unknown Ancient Zoan Zoan abilities. Vic just thought these animals were ugly and disgusting, but he didn't feel anything else. Meanwhile Sabo and Cobra next to him were almost scared out of their wits. Five huge, terrifying beasts did look really scary!
"Is this all you've got? Nothing special. I thought your World Government was rich and powerful, and that all your forces were Mythical Zoan..."
"Shut up!"
"Hmm? A mental attack?"
Before Vic could finish his sarcastic remark, he was reprimanded by the Minotaur Spider Saturn. Moreover, Vic felt a sharp pain in his head as Saturn glared at him with his bull-like eyes, realizing that the old man Saturn had used a dirty trick on him!
However, Vic only felt a sting for a moment and then nothing more. Vic had no idea what unknown methods these strange Zoan abilities possessed, so after taking this hit, Vic immediately used Conqueror's Haki to protect his head.
"My turn!"
Instead of passively responding, Vic released Conqueror's Haki to protect his mind and Observation Haki to cover the entire area. In an instant, Vic disappeared from his original spot and appeared in front of Saturn in the blink of an eye. Before Saturn could react, his long legs, wrapped in Armament Haki, had already kicked Saturn in the face. The giant spider rolled and crashed through several pillars before flying out!
Just as Vic was about to move on to his next target, a large wild boar shrouded in Conqueror's Haki charged at him!
The wild boar's speed wasn't fast in Vic's eyes, but to Sabo it was like a gust of wind, arriving in an instant.
Although Vic could easily dodge it, he didn't. He saw through the boar's intention: to use Conqueror's Haki Coating to launch a savage charge. Vic also wanted to test the Five Elders ' Conqueror's Haki, so he slashed at the charging boar with Blood Wither, which was wrapped in Conqueror's Haki.
"Boom!!!"
The clash of the two forces, Conqueror's Haki, ripped the roof off the dark room, and crimson lightning shot out of the room and into the clouds, splitting the sky in two!
The commotion drew everyone's attention in Mary Geoise, which was exactly what Vic wanted. "You, Imu, wanted to stay behind the scenes? Well, I'll get more people's attention here." Although Vic couldn't see Imu's face under the mask, he could guess that his expression was definitely not good.
Meanwhile, the boar, who was exchanging Conqueror's Haki with Vic, was trembling slightly, and sweat was beading on its head. Although Vic didn't know if the boar was about to give up or if there was some other reason, it was clear that it had given itself an opening. Now was the perfect time to make a move!
