Wow! That's so cool! What kind of ability is that?
The way Vic disappeared Luffy's eyes light up. Even though he was now Nika, the Sun God who had Awakening the Gum-Gum Fruit, he was still very envious. Although he knew that his ability was very free, to do what Vic did was beyond the scope of the fruit's power.
"Could it be..."
Rebecca didn't speak, but she had some guesses in her mind. Only she knew that before eating the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, Vic had eaten a Paramecia Devil Fruit called the Speed-Speed Fruit Fruit.
"Could it be that his ability has improved again? But even if the Speed-Speed Fruit's ability improves, it's impossible to leave no trace, right?"
Rebecca was still puzzled. Even with the elemental transformation of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, no matter how fast it was, there were still traces to follow. But Vic hadn't left any trace or aura at all, as if he had never been there at all. It was beyond her imagination!
"Isn't Thunder God's power lightning? What else could it be? It's just that his development of it is more sophisticated, and we simply can't understand it!"
Stussy is a CP0 agent who has been working undercover in the Pleasure District as its queen for a long time. She has seen all kinds of people, and her identity as an agent gives her access to even more intelligence.
However, she felt that ability development was a very personal matter. Only the person who developed their abilities knew how well they had developed; it was difficult for outsiders to understand!
Some people are born geniuses who can develop even useless abilities into amazing skills, but others are just a bit dim-witted and can only use their God Level abilities for show, which is a waste. Strong people like Vic have already proven themselves. Stussy wouldn't be surprised no matter how abnormally he develops his Devil Fruit ability!
"The gap is widening. Am I really the strongest genius in 800 years?"
Lucci's expression was the most complicated. Back then, he was a genius of CP9, and Vic was a genius of the Navy. When he came out of retirement, he wanted to overpower the Navy, but he was outdone by Vic!
Later, Vic's reputation grew and his strength increased, while he could only stay in Enies Lobby and train in a low-key manner. Now he has joined CP0, the World Government's strongest intelligence organization, and his Devil Fruit ability Awakening. But that person has become the Emperor of the Sea!
Later, the Straw Hat Boy, who fought him to a standstill on Enies Lobby, also became one of the Four Emperors. However, he resolutely refused to acknowledge the Straw Hat Boy 'Four Emperors status as one of the Four Emperors?" he said.
So the moment Egghead saw the Straw Hat Boy, he could no longer suppress his anger. He even forgot the order not to fight against the Four Emperors without orders from his superiors, and then he was hammered by the Straw Hat Boy —a hammering that left him utterly powerless to resist!
At that moment, he began to doubt whether he was truly a genius, the strongest genius in 800 years. What were Vic and the Straw Hat Boy compared to him? What were their top swordsmen compared to him?
Each of them possessed a stronger aura than the last, and all of them were stronger than him. Lucci felt like a Joker. Perhaps his performance was laughable in the eyes of others. Were the Four Emperors worth killing? Ha! Was the leader of the Four Emperors worth killing? Ha!
Lucci was too arrogant. He completely omitted the prerequisite of CP9 and compared himself to the geniuses of the world. Naturally, he was going to suffer the consequences. There are always mountains beyond mountains and people beyond people. Even now, Vic still adheres to this wise saying!
However, Lucci has lived with praise since childhood and really thinks he is the best in the world. This is what is called having ambitions higher than one's abilities. His talent is certainly not bad, but compared with top players and those with cheat codes, he can only be considered above average!
"Hmph! Just trying to be mysterious!"
Zoro was very unhappy and had very complicated feelings. Although he had no grudge against Vic, he would remember for the rest of his life that Vic had taken Kuina away in front of him, taking away his only friend at the time!
However, he also had to thank Vic, Vic instilled in him the strongest heart. Then there was the Skillful Grade Sword, Yubashiri, which he obtained at the Baratie. He guessed that Vic had given it to him. That sword had been destroyed in the Enies Lobby battle two years ago, so he owed Vic another favor!
He also frequently kept up with news about Kuina. The latest news he saw a few days ago was that Kuina went to duel Hawk-Eye. The two fought to a draw, and the battle ended with neither side gaining the upper hand. It seemed that the promise Vic made to Kuina and his master was about to be fulfilled, which made him quite conflicted!
"He didn't even come over to say hello before leaving! Humph!"
Rebecca was a little angry. She had come here early precisely to see him sooner, but they hadn't even exchanged a glance. Was that old man Vegapunk really that charming? Fine, then you go with him!
That's what she thought, but she didn't dare say it out loud, afraid that Vic would really go with Vegapunk!
Back in Punk Hazard, Vic often spent days with that old man, which worried her greatly. She constantly wondered if Vic had a problem with his sexual orientation, as he seemed indifferent to the beautiful young women around him.
It wasn't until Vic took her that she truly dispelled her suspicions, but she was still very angry about Vic's earlier disregard!
"Hehe! Don't be angry, Rebecca. He must have something very important to discuss with Dr. Vegapunk, otherwise he wouldn't have sent you to lead the charge. Just wait patiently!"
Olvia knew about Vic and Rebecca's relationship because her room was right next to Vic's, and she had overheard them many times, making her heart race and her face flush!
At that time, she hadn't gotten together with Vic yet. She just didn't know how she became so bold later on, daring to seduce Vic. Fortunately, she succeeded in the end and got the ultimate enjoyment. She always felt indebted to Rebecca, so when she saw Rebecca was angry, she quickly comforted and persuaded her!
"Hmm? Someone's here, their aura is strong, they've started fighting, I'll go check it out!"
Just then, Luffy frowned, left a message, and ran out. Zoro also wanted to go, but considering that there were so many people to watch over, he could only suppress his warlike nature. Although Aokiji was also there, he didn't fully trust him yet, and Aokiji was among those he was wary of!
A flicker of excitement crossed Lucci's eyes. He was unaware that Saturn was already planning to kill everyone on the island; otherwise, he might have immediately betrayed them and gone to fight Kizaru!
Aside from Rebecca, who was somewhat tempted, none of the other women had any intention of going to check it out. However, Rebecca was still waiting for Vic to return and apologize to her!
The aura emanating from the Frontier Dome belonged to Marine Admiral Kizaru. He had already patrolled the island once and controlled his light clone to fly a great distance to investigate, but he still hadn't found the unknown enemy!
So after informing Saturn, he flew directly to the island, ready to eliminate Vegapunk, the target of this mission!
As soon as Kizaru stepped inside the Frontier Dome, he encountered Sentomaru, the guard of the research institute. Although the Frontier Dome was closed at this time, it made no difference to a strong person of Kizaru's level, and he entered easily!
Sentomaru was injured by Lucci, but after receiving some basic treatment, he went on patrol again, and that's when he encountered Kizaru!
One wanted to kill Vegapunk, and the other wanted to protect Vegapunk. Even though they had a good relationship before, neither could convince the other, and then the two had a big battle. However, Sentomaru didn't last long before he was hit by Kizaru's Laser Beam and fell unconscious!
Sentomaru is really unlucky. He was defeated by Rob Lucci at the beginning, and now he's been defeated by Kizaru. He's practically a stepping stone to highlight the strength of the two invaders!
He's only left the field now because he's seriously injured; otherwise, he might have run into Saturn again later, and one look from him would have blown his head off. He's lucky to have escaped with his life now, poor kid!
