"Oh! Lifespan, huh? But I'm still very young. I don't have a pressing need for lifespan. Can't you see I'm young and beautiful? I'm about the same age as an eighteen-year-old girl. Besides lifespan, what else do you have that's more attractive?"
Knowing that Vic was trying to stall for time, Rebecca didn't act immediately. Since the Five Elders wanted to talk, then let's talk!
Rebecca never expected that this giant, strange bird would tempt her with the promise of longevity. Longevity, such an elusive thing, is indeed quite precious to others, especially to those old nobles who are nearing the end of their lives. These people are most afraid of death and would probably agree to any price!
But the Thunder God Pirates are different. Rebecca has no shortage of lifespan right now. Although she can't quite see the longevity effect of Pure Gold yet, Olga is a living example!
Olga is almost three hundred years old. If it weren't for Vic's tricks, she would probably still be an adorable little girl. So the lifespan mentioned by the Five Elders is of no appeal to the members of the Thunder God Pirates!
But in the eyes of the Five Elders, this was the most generous offer, and for it, they sold their souls to Imu!
What do you want? Wealth or power?
If you desire wealth, this saint can grant you the Heavenly Tribute of an Affiliated Nation!
If you want power, we can make you the queen of a Affiliated Nation. We can even find you rare and exotic items for maintaining your health—anything you can imagine, we can do!
When Saint Mars saw Rebecca negotiating terms, he thought he had a chance. Moreover, judging from the young girl's words, he felt that Rebecca was extremely narcissistic. She was over thirty years old, yet she still considered herself to be eighteen!
While it's true that you do look like you're eighteen, you can't just boast like that!
Saint Mars thought he had found Rebecca's weakness. "So you're narcissistic and love beauty, huh? Well then, you can use that to your advantage." Since he could no longer eat the Devil Fruit that could change his body's age and skin condition, he could only promise her some rare items that had miraculous effects on beauty and skincare.
"Really? Then can I become Five Elders? I also want to be high above, looking down on the whole world. From what you're saying, your lifespans seem to be extended. So, can the five of you step down?"
Rebecca continued to play dumb; she already had everything she wanted, and nothing could sway her anymore!
She has the mind of a typical woman and doesn't have such grand ambitions. Her current strength is all the result of her hard work in order to catch up with Vic!
If Vic were just an ordinary resident of Lep Island in the East Sea, she might have lived an ordinary life as well. Wouldn't it have been a happy life for the two of them, living a simple and uneventful life on that island until they grew old?
Now that Vic wants to change the world, she will stay by his side and do her part to reduce some of the pressure on Vic. She dares not say more, but she will definitely do her best!
"I never expected you to have such grand ambitions. You're the first person to dare speak so arrogantly before me. It seems you've been toying with me all along. You might as well go to hell!"
Saint Mars wasn't stupid. The emotions Rebecca conveyed clearly didn't reflect that much ambition. If she truly had that ambition, the emotions and aura she projected would definitely not have been so bland!
He had seen plenty of ambitious people, and they were all unrestrained and domineering, some even directly unleashing their Conqueror's Haki to demonstrate their ambitions!
So Rebecca's intentions were also known to Saint Mars, which was to play a trick on him. However, Saint Mars was like an old gentleman. Even when faced with being played, he did not get angry or furious. He simply coldly pronounced Rebecca's fate!
No sooner had he finished speaking than Saint Mars spat out a stream of black flame from his bird's beak, heading straight for Rebecca's face!
You think you're pretty? You're proud of it, aren't you? Well, I'll disfigure you first, so you won't even be able to show your face in hell!
Rebecca remained wary of the large bird before her, and when she realized that the bird had seen through her stalling, she knew that a battle was imminent.
Seeing the large bird's open beak, Rebecca knew that the attack had begun. Upon seeing the black flames being spewed towards her, she immediately manipulated the flying sword floating behind her to fly in front of her.
The tips of several flying swords touched each other, instantly becoming coated with Armament Haki, and then began to spin rapidly, forming a shield in mid-air that blocked all the flames that were spewing towards them!
Seeing that the flames were blocked, Saint Mars flapped his wings and took to the air, changing the angle of the flames he was spewing forward, as he intended to continue breathing fire at Rebecca in this way.
However, Rebecca's flying sword was much easier to maneuver than his wings, so Rebecca just a thought, the shield formed by the spinning flying sword changed the location to intercept the flames, blocking Saint Mars's black flames once again!
"Go!"
Rebecca did not sit idly by and wait for her death. A few flying swords could form a large shield. There were hundreds of them behind her, and thousands of flying swords swirled around her in the void!
With so many flying swords, they couldn't be left idle. With another thought, hundreds of flying swords hovering in the air and pointing at Saint Mars Saint Mars immediately flew out and attacked him!
Saint Mars saw the flying sword coming, and his Observation Haki also foresaw it. His body reacted accordingly, continuing to fly upwards.
However, his beast-like body was too enormous. Not only was he slower than the flying sword, but he was also an extremely large target. As a result, he became the second of the Five Elders to be killed after Nusjuro!
Saint Mars could have used Armament Haki to defend against the hundreds of flying swords, but he didn't because he was invincible and had an immortal body. Perhaps he wanted to know the power of Rebecca's flying swords!
Then Saint Mars was torn to shreds by hundreds of flying swords. Not only were pieces of flesh flying everywhere, but bird feathers were also flying all over the place. Only after suffering a fatal wound did his body, pieces of flesh, and feathers disappear into the darkness, like yellow paper being burned to ashes by flames!
But soon, Saint Mars reconstituted his body. This is the abnormal aspect of immortality: no matter how serious the injury, he can recover completely after dying and coming back to life!
Rebecca looked at the fully recovered Saint Mars with a solemn expression. Although she had seen this strange scene before, the pressure was different now that the one with an immortal body was her enemy. If she couldn't kill him, she would be worn down by him!
Vic could easily subdue one of the Five Elders because he didn't kill him, but rather bound him to prevent him from fighting. However, her Devil Fruit ability would have difficulty doing that. Rebecca's mind raced as she considered a solution!
On Luffy's side, his enemy is still Saturn. Even with Kizaru involved before, Saturn was no match for him. Now that there's only Saturn left, he should be able to easily defeat him. However, no matter what Luffy makes, he just can't kill this giant spider, which is very frustrating!
In his giant form, Nika Luffy struck again, swatting the giant Gyuki Saturn like a fly, turning him into a piece of paper. However, after the Saturn -sized toilet paper fell to the ground, he quickly returned to his original form!
This phenomenon actually occurred because Saturn's body was affected by Nika's power. Otherwise, if Saturn had taken such a direct hit, he would have been torn to pieces and died on the spot!
However, under Luffy's influence, Saturn was reduced to a thin sheet of paper, no longer needing to rely on immortality. But damage was still done; Nika's two slaps were not for nothing.
