Vegapunk was sent away by Vic, and he didn't just want to send the ancient robot into the alternate dimension; he also wouldn't let go of the mountain of inventions piled up here. These were all technological products invented by Vegapunk, so they couldn't be ordinary things.
It's just a minor flaw, right? In Vic's opinion, the advantages definitely outweigh the disadvantages!
Even the artificial Fish-Fish Fruit Mythical Zoan that Momonosuke ate wasn't considered perfect in Vegapunk's eyes. But Momonosuke's dragon, apart from its color, had the exact same abilities as Kaido. Vegapunk was just too much of a perfectionist, like someone with mysophobia!
There's really no need for this. In Vic's mind, this is a perfect replica. By Vegapunk's standards, how many flawed inventions like this would be piled up here?
So Vic definitely made a fortune coming to Egghead this time. How many inventions like lightsabers are there here?
Vic spent a few minutes painstakingly cleaning up the place. The discarded inventions here were incredibly diverse, with various uses!
Although Vic didn't examine it closely, he was still amazed by Vegapunk's imagination and practical abilities. Of course, he also criticized his perfectionism, saying how much good stuff he wasted and what a spendthrift!
"Hmm? That familiar evil aura! Has that old bastard Saturn landed on the island? It's almost like he teleported here!"
After Vic finished dealing with the abandoned inventions, he dusted off his hands and suddenly sensed a strong, malevolent aura descending upon the island!
Moreover, this evil aura felt quite familiar. Vic had sensed it in Mary Geoise before, and after a moment's thought, he knew it was that old bastard Saturn. Vic knew it was time for him to make his move.
"Doctor! Don't worry about anything else. Just focus on what we were talking about earlier. Resolve this as soon as possible. I won't let Saturn bother you!"
Vic returned to the control room and gave Vegapunk an explanation. He hadn't spent enough time there; Vegapunk was still in the control room dismantling pipes and wiring, and hadn't made much progress.
" Black Emperor! You stay here to protect the Doctor. The rest of you, prepare for battle. Do what you can, don't be reckless!"
When Vic returned, he saw Sanji and Jinbe here. They had been asked by Vegapunk to pack the luggage, and now they finally showed up. Vic had now met all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
" Nami! Is this the Four Emperors you know? Thunder God Vic? The Saturn he mentioned, could he be one of the Five Elders?"
"Of course it's him! He's our Fish-Man Race's benefactor!"
After giving his instructions, Vic vanished from the control room in a flash. Sanji, as expected of one of the Straw Hat Pirates's brightest minds, immediately realized who Saturn was, as Vic had mentioned, and his expression turned very unnatural!
However, Jinbe the simpleton he is, only paid attention to what Sanji had said earlier. The others remained silent. Apart from Edison and Atlas staying behind to help Vegapunk, Nami led the way out of the control room. They would all participate in the upcoming battle!
Saturn did indeed teleport to the island, but the method of teleportation differed from the abilities Vic currently possesses.
Saturn's teleportation has a prerequisite: he must have been to this place before he can activate it, just like marking a coordinate here is necessary to find a location in dark space!
Although it is also a spatial ability, it has more limitations than Vic's current abilities. However, it also has advantages that Vic doesn't have: his spatial ability can also teleport other people.
However, because this spatial ability is borrowed from Imu, only those who have signed a contract with Imu can use this ability to be teleported remotely. Saturn and the other Five Elders are among them, as they have all signed a contract with Imu. This contract applies to the soul!
Because this teleportation ability is borrowed from Imu, and the soul is also bound to Imu, if the soul of the person being teleported is damaged, that damage will also be reflected back to Imu!
Besides the Five Elders, all the official members of the Holy Knights have also signed contracts with Imu. The ability of this contract allows Imu to borrow the Devil Fruit abilities of other contractors, and also allows him to lend his own abilities to contractors.
Everyone who signs a contract with Imu has a special pentagram pattern on their body, and the life and death of those who bind their souls to Imu are entirely in Imu's hands!
This contractual ability is also a kind of Laws, which Imu has long since mastered. It is the means he uses to control the Celestial Dragons. Only those capable elite Celestial Dragons will be chosen by Imu to sign this contract, such as the Five Elders and the Holy Knights!
As long as Imu controls these elite Celestial Dragons, the Celestial Dragons group will not fall into chaos, and the World Government, the Navy, and Impel Down, which are controlled by the Celestial Dragons, will also not fall into chaos. And then there are the many Affiliated Nation below them, and they will not fall into chaos either!
By controlling these elite Celestial Dragons, Imu achieved his goal of controlling the entire world, becoming the true King of the World!
Although Vic arrived near the battlefield, he did not make a move. At this time, only Saturn had arrived, and with the help of Kizaru, whom he had already given some pointers to, he believed that Luffy could handle it.
At this moment, Kizaru had already fought a battle with Luffy and was grabbed in one hand. On the other side, Saturn was also pinned down on the head by the gigantic Gear Fifth Luffy. This can be considered Luffy's highlight moment. Vic was very pleased with Luffy's growth!
In fact, even if Kizaru had already decided to put on an act after hearing what Vic said, even if he had fought with all his might, he would still be no match for Luffy in his Awakening Nika Form!
Furthermore, Luffy is unaware that Kizaru is acting, so Kizaru looks quite pitiful right now. He genuinely took a lot of hits to make the scene more realistic.
Luffy's technique, which can Assimilation living beings into rubber, dealt the most damage to Kizaru. It was a direct punch to the head, causing a huge bump to bulge out. If it weren't for the rubber transformation, his head would have been punched through. The internal injuries caused by this move are no small matter!
Therefore, by the time they reached Saturn Island, Kizaru had almost lost his fighting ability, so Luffy no longer needed to face both Marine Admiral and the Five Elders at the same time, and Vic naturally didn't need to rush to make a move!
He knew Saturn's level very well. Luffy could handle Saturn without any problem. His only concern was that he had used up too much energy in his previous battle with Kizaru and wouldn't have enough stamina to fight Saturn!
After throwing Kizaru so hard he couldn't stand up, Luffy faced Saturn in a 1v1 Luffy. Although Saturn gave Luffy a warning, his glare didn't have much of an effect on Luffy, only causing Luffy to pause for a moment before returning to normal!
Luffy's will had already undergone a transformation during the great battle with Kaido in Wano Country, and it was simply impossible for Saturn's mental attacks to shake it!
As for Saturn's Gyuki form, under Luffy's Nika Giant form, it's no different from a real spider; you could hold it in your hand and it's practically a pet!
While Vic was watching the show, a large number of Marines and government agents rushed over and confronted the Straw Hat Pirates members, Rebecca and her friends, as well as Sentomaru's artificial human forces!
Although they were far outnumbered by the World Government, their combat strength was astonishing. Even though the World Government had Headquarters Vice Admiral and high-ranking agents from CP, the battle still overwhelmingly favored them!
