"Open it!"
Just like Roger used his Divine Departure to cut down Oden, Vic cleaved the boar in two with a single stroke, leaving only a clean-cut tusk that was still tumbling in the air.
In fact, it wasn't just the giant boar whose body was trembling and sweating; the other three Five Elders hadn't yet made a move, and Saturn who had already rolled over on the ground, were also reacting in the same way.
The reason is simple: the wild boar, lacking common sense, used its Conqueror's Coating in such a place, not only tearing off the roof but also leaving the room in a mess, with broken stone pillars scattered all over the floor.
This place is a sacred site within a sacred site of the World Government, the location of the Empty Throne. Now it's been turned into this mess. They're all worried that Lord Imu on the throne will be enraged and take their lives, making them hesitant to take action.
"Forget about this, kill him first!"
While the Five Elders hesitated, Imu's cold, suppressed voice rang out from the high platform. He was determined to destroy the place if necessary to kill Vic. Moreover, after saying this, Imu's body began to transform, indicating that he was preparing to transform and join the battle!
Vic was also taken aback by this scene. He hadn't expected that the King of the World Imu, was also a Zoan Devil Fruit user. In other words, Imu was Law God of the animal Laws who had become a god. This was probably unique in history. At least none of the Law God Vic had encountered or seen in the photos were like this. It was truly an eye-opener!
"You dare to get distracted at a time like this! You're asking for it!"
While Vic was focusing his attention on Imu, Bakotsu had already transformed into a centaur, half-human, half-beast, and was wielding Supreme Great Grade Sword as he slashed at him.
The Five Elders in their spectacles-like animal forms are faster than wild boars, perhaps due to their racial talents. Wild boars are certainly slower than horses, let alone centaurs, a rare breed.
"Bite!"
The two Supreme Great Grade Sword, Blood Wither and the Shodai Kitetsu, clashed together, and the dissipating Sword Qi severed and collapsed more than a dozen pillars. Although Vic's main attention was on Imu, his Observation Haki was not for nothing, and coupled with his powerful mental strength, multitasking was common for him. How could he be easily ambushed?
"Is this your Human-Beast Form? It's hideous! All bones. Has your evil heart corrupted your Devil Fruit power? Ordinary evil couldn't do this. Did you sacrifice your heart to the devil?"
Vic took the blow from the Bakotsu and started taunting again. He was really uncomfortable in the Celestial Dragons ' stronghold, especially the powerful evil aura emanating from the Five Elders, which made Vic want to say some trash talk.
Vic's words made Bakotsu subconsciously turn around and glance at Imu, who was transforming on the high platform, as if he were looking at the creature Vic had mentioned, but he quickly looked away.
"No matter how eloquent you are, it's useless; you must die today!"
While the abilities of the Bakotsu Zoan may be average, its speed is absolutely unmatched among the Five Elders. Coupled with its identity as a swordsman, it certainly has a significant advantage.
However, that only applies to others. If the opponent is Vic, his speed is useless. Vic is just one step away from fully comprehending the Law of Speed and Slowness and slowness. You are just a Zoan with an additional ability. The gap is too big.
No matter how fast Bakotsu changed Vic attack speed, Vic was able to parry every blow with his knife. The only ones suffering were the surrounding stone pillars. The intense battle between the two made the entire room almost shake!
Seeing that Vic was handling the situation with ease and was not at all at a disadvantage against Bakotsu, Marcus Mars, who was in the Itsumade, stopped watching.
Now that Lord Imu has given the order, they don't need to worry about destroying this place. They can simply deal with the three of them and rebuild it. Their need for this place is only symbolic.
Itsumade flapped its wings rapidly and quickly approached Vic. From a distance, it opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of black flame. This black flame was no ordinary flame; it was called the Body-Burning Soul-Destroying Flame, which not only had an extremely high temperature but could also burn a person's mind from a distance.
"Have you had enough?! I have a new pet, you can go to the side too!"
Itsumade's attack had already been analyzed by Vic's Future Sight. With a single slash, he deflected the Bakotsu's dense slashes, spun around, and kicked the bald man in the face. Another of the Five Elders flew out!
As Vic spun around while kicking, he dodged Itsumade's Body-Burning Soul-Destroying Flame. After landing, he unleashed a slash imbued with Conqueror's Haki towards Itsumade, the giant bird.
Saint Mars only saw the slash, crackling with crimson Inazuma, fly faster and faster as it hurtled toward him with an illogical trajectory. By the time he tried to dodge, it was too late!
Who would have thought that the speed of a slash could suddenly increase tenfold or a hundredfold midway through its trajectory, landing instantly on the body? This completely defies the laws of motion!
Saint Mars had a horrific wound on his chest and flew away, spitting blood. This was the first time Vic had used such force today. Knowing his own strength, Vic knew that this ugly bird was no longer capable of fighting and could no longer pose a threat to him!
With Pangaea Castle in Mary Geoise as the battlefield, Vic will definitely go all out; he won't have to clean up the mess he smashes to pieces.
Although the Five Elders received Imu's orders, they were still hesitant to go all out, and their strength was indeed inferior to Vic's. In just a few breaths, four of the Five Elders were sent flying, and one of them had already lost his fighting ability!
Vic didn't stop; he wanted to finish off the last giant worm quickly before facing Imu from the God Realm.
Although Vic had already knocked away four of the Five Elders in a very short time, Imu had also completed his transformation. A huge, terrifying creature resembling a salamander was crawling down the long stairs, looking ferocious and horrifying, as if it wanted to swallow everyone whole!
"Is this Imu's Zoan- Zoan Laws? But he used Paramecia methods before, right? What's going on? Did he also eat two Devil Fruit like me? We can't waste time, let's take down this giant worm first!"
Seeing the giant salamander on the steps, Vic felt that time was running out. Imu was a powerful being of the God Realm, an existence of the same level as him. If he were to be surrounded and ambushed by the other Five Elders while fighting Imu, it would not be a good situation.
Vic didn't have time to consider whether Imu also possessed two Laws; he transformed into lightning and vanished from the spot in an instant.
When he reappeared, he was already inside the giant Sandworm's abdomen. The Ryuo in his hands surged wildly. As Vic clenched his fist and punched the Sandworm's belly, the Ryuo instantly rushed into the Sandworm's body and then exploded!
This powerful blow tore a large hole in the Sandworm's abdomen, large enough for Vic to pass through, and the blasted flesh and Sandworm were sent flying together!
In a very short time, all Five Elders were knocked away by Vic. Although some of them were still able to fight, Vic had tested the strength of the Five Elders. He should be more careful when fighting Imu later and should not have the chance to be ambushed.
"Truly, one should not underestimate the people of this world! I thought that the Red-Hair boy was an exception, being a descendant of the Celestial Dragons, and that he had grown to this level. I never expected that a monstrous young man like you would emerge from the mortal realm!"
As expected, new talents emerge in every generation. We can't ignore monitoring the lower realms. Vic! You've been hiding your true strength, haven't you? You didn't use your full power in the Paramount War and Dressrosa!
I admire a young powerhouse like you. Would you like to become a member of the Holy Knights and serve as my bodyguard? This is a leap in one's life level; not everyone has the opportunity to accept such an invitation!
When the Five Elders flew away, the giant salamander that Imu had transformed into stopped crawling. Its lantern-sized, blood-red eyes were fixed on Vic, and its gaping maw opened and closed with a rumbling sound that made people's eardrums hurt.
Upon hearing this sound, Cobra let out a painful groan; even Sabo was not feeling well!
