Tap tap tap tap...
With a series of steady footsteps, a figure walked over. He seemed ordinary and did not exude any Haki, but the sense of oppression he brought was extremely strong!
"So it was you who did it!"
Nusjuro's gaze also turned to the newcomer. He wasn't surprised that this guy would appear here. Saturn had already predicted it beforehand, so he wasn't surprised at all by Vic's appearance.
He had no doubt that the silent slash earlier was done by Vic, because he knew Vic's strength and was a witness to it!
Vic had no intention of continuing to watch the show; the Five Elders were all present, and staying hidden any longer would lead to trouble.
He knew the Five Elders were difficult to kill, so the most important thing now was to buy some time for Vegapunk to finish dealing with the aftermath. What Vegapunk didn't want to hand over to the World Government, he didn't want to hand over either!
It's me! What can you do about it?
Compared to Bakotsu, Vic appeared short and thin, but his imposing presence and sense of oppression were in no way inferior, causing the navy and special agents to unconsciously swallow hard!
The atmosphere here is too oppressive. The pressure from the Five Elders and Vic is too strong. The scene is completely silent, and their conversation makes the temperature drop several degrees!
Why are you getting involved? This has nothing to do with you!
The Five Elders did not immediately attack Vic, knowing that they would not gain any advantage by doing so. In their view, Vic probably stumbled upon the island by accident, and then formed Straw Hat Pirates after seeing the warships surrounding the island!
If Vic can leave safely with his men, then Vegapunk and the Straw Hat Pirates will be easy to deal with.
Of course, this was just wishful thinking on their part. Vic and Straw Hat Boy were acquainted, and there were already signs of this two years ago during the Paramount War.
The Five Elders simply believed it was because of Whitebeard. After all, wasn't the territory Vic now owned the same one that Whitebeard once owned? So they thought it was just a transaction two years ago and didn't think Vic and Straw Hat Boy had any deep relationship!
" Vegapunk is my friend. He said someone wanted to hurt him, so I came. I just didn't expect it to be you who wanted to hurt him. Are you using him and then discarding him? Ha! That's very much in line with the style of you Celestial Dragons!"
Since the Five Elders didn't rush up for a battle immediately, Vic was happy to stall for time. Immortality was really a headache. Anyway, Vic had no way to break it now, otherwise he would have already defeated the five old guys one by one and left them here. Why would he drag things out with them like this!
Moreover, if the five old guys split up on the island, he might not be able to stop them all.
The Five Elders ' goal is to eliminate Vegapunk and Straw Hat Boy; this is their core objective. They don't need to defeat Vic to cause trouble for Vegapunk and Luffy. On the contrary, Vic has people and things he needs to protect, which is the exact opposite of the Five Elders ' situation in Pangaea Castle!
"So there's no room for negotiation? Before, in Mary Geoise you were one person, but now you have many more people to protect. In front of the five of us, can you really protect them? Can you kill us?"
When soft tactics failed, they resorted to hard ones. Since negotiations were not going well, Nusjuro resorted to threats. This was not Pangaea Castle; they were not afraid of making a big fuss.
Although they had been killed by Vic before, their immortality and the combined strength of the five of them made them quite formidable. Killing some people here wouldn't be too difficult for them!
"You don't really think my strength is just an accident, and that you're still among the first batch of those below the human level, do you?"
Wake up! There are quite a few people here who could fight you. Come down to the mortal realm and see for yourself! Your thinking is too outdated and arrogant!
Vic understood what the Five Elders meant, but he wasn't unprepared. Based on what he had learned in Pangaea Castle, the Five Elders were slightly stronger than the Marine Admiral, but still a bit weaker than the Four Emperors!
Luffy is strong enough to suppress one person, Aokiji can hold off another, and Rebecca is the same. In addition, the Straw Hat Pirates has some of the strongest fighters and can hold off one person. As for the remaining one, Vic, they can easily defeat him!
They can also find time to assist others, and in the meantime, search for weaknesses in the Five Elders ' immortality!
Vic didn't believe in the existence of immortality, so there was no need to wage war; he might as well just become Imu's dog. He couldn't even kill the Five Elders, so why would he want to kill Imu, a superior who could lend his immortality?
Vic will face Imu sooner or later, so it's crucial to uncover the secret of immortality beforehand!
" Rebecca! You're going to deal with that big bird later!"
" Kuzan! That big worm is yours!"
" Luffy! Keep beating that giant spider!"
" Zoro! You and the cook hold off this swordsman. If you can't, call for backup!"
With Vic's telepathic instructions and arrangements, Rebecca and Aokiji broke free from their opponents and arrived before the Five Elders, as arranged by Vic.
Zoro and Luffy had already engaged their opponents, so there was no need for them to make any moves. Only Sanji, somewhat disgruntled, approached Zoro. He was brimming with confidence, believing he could take down a Five Elders single-handedly, so why would he need to cooperate with the Moss Head?
In his heart, Vic looked down on him, but who could blame him when Vic was one of the Four Emperors and a friend of many in their pirate crew? With a formidable enemy at hand, they should unite against him first!
"You're not talking about them, are you? I really can't see what's so great about them!"
The Five Elders, now transformed into a giant boar, were utterly disdainful. He was the strongest in Armament Haki among the Five Elders, even surpassing Aokiji in strength. Therefore, Vic had left this man to himself, which is why no one else came to his aid!
"Is that so? Then I'll be your opponent!"
In a flash, Vic appeared in front of the giant boar Hoki, leaving the arrogant Five Elders speechless and cold sweat beading on his forehead!
In Pangaea Castle, he also suffered a great loss at the hands of Vic, even when he was surrounded by five people!
Vic's speed was simply too fast. Now, facing Vic alone, he was actually a little scared. They weren't really invincible; that was an ability that Lord Imu had lent them, not an unlimited one!
Vic's Haki contrasted sharply with Hoki's silence, and everyone present could see the wild boar's guilty conscience!
No one here has ever seen Vic go all out, but the wild boar's performance is proof of Vic's strength!
Furthermore, the tone and attitude with which the other Five Elders spoke to Vic earlier all demonstrated Vic's power, making even the Five Elders, who held the highest authority in the World Government, wary of him. This speaks volumes!
With a flick of Vic finger, eight dark, vortex-shaped spatial caves appeared around Hoki.
The instant the vortex-shaped spatial cave appeared, eight bolts of purple lightning, like ropes, shot out from within it!
Before Hoki could react, four bolts of purple lightning bound the boar's limbs, one wrapped around its tail, and two more wrapped around Hoki's large tusks. The seven bolts of purple lightning firmly pinned the boar to the ground!
The last one emerged from the void above the wild boar's head, binding its entire upper jaw and pulling it upwards!
