Vic didn't really want to use black lightning, but other techniques couldn't destroy the teleportation array. He hadn't expected that the teleportation array Imu had created was also a complete creation of the Laws!
If he uses black lightning to destroy the magic array, his God Realm power will be instantly exposed to Imu, because Imu is well aware that only Power of Law of the same level can destroy his teleportation array. What is Power of Law of the same level? It is an attack from God of Law!
If Vic doesn't want to be exposed, the only way is to instantly destroy all the teleportation arrays on the island, then kill all Five Elders without exception, and also erase the memories of the large number of Navy and CP personnel who witnessed all of this!
We can't let news of him destroying the teleportation array reach Imu, otherwise Vic will still have a chance to get away with it and continue to hide his true strength!
After all, there was a mysterious black-robed figure standing in front of him, God Realm expert who had fought with Imu. If the matter here was kept in the dark, and the teleportation array was destroyed and the Five Elders were killed, Imu would definitely immediately focus his suspicions on that mysterious black-robed figure, because that was one of only two God Realm experts Imu knew!
For Vic's previous guess to be correct, it must be that the Five Elders ' immortality would also be rendered ineffective after the teleportation array is destroyed. Otherwise, his true strength would be completely exposed, leaving no room for redemption!
"Use Conqueror's Haki."
Just as Vic raised his hand to summon black lightning, a voice rang in his mind. Vic immediately stopped what he was doing, looked around, and released his Observation Haki to its fullest extent. However, he couldn't find the person who had sent the message, and Vic was somewhat disappointed!
Vic recognized the voice immediately; it was the mysterious black-robed man he had met in Pangaea Castle. He had barely thought of this powerful being at the God Realm when the man appeared, as if he could hear the voice in his mind!
When Vic learned that the person had arrived, he intended to invite him over to destroy the teleportation array, but in just an instant, the guy vanished without a trace, as if the voice that had just echoed in his mind was a hallucination!
But Vic knew that was definitely not the case; someone with his mental strength wouldn't experience auditory hallucinations!
Seeing that Vic had stopped what he was doing and was looking for something, the others were all a little confused.
It's understandable that they're baffled. Even a powerhouse like Vic can't find the location of that mysterious expert, so no one else knows anything about it!
" Conqueror's Haki?"
Vic is an intelligent person, and with the speed-enhancing ability, his thinking is not only accurate but also far more advanced than that of the average person!
At this critical moment, the mysterious powerful figure mentioned Conqueror's Haki, which means that Conqueror's Haki is the key to solving the problem. The two problems that Vic is facing now are nothing more than destroying the teleportation array and breaking the Five Elders ' immortality!
Even though there are only two difficult questions, couldn't you have said a few more words? Are you so stingy with your words? Or are you afraid that if you say too much, you'll be discovered and lose your expert demeanor and mystique?
Vic inwardly scoffed. They were both experts of the same level; why did he need to maintain an air of mystery and superiority in front of him?
Although Vic acknowledged his inferiority to his opponent—he couldn't even sense the opponent's appearance and disappearance, and the gap was undeniable—they were still equals. Could someone truly surpass a God Realm expert? They were both within the same realm, so why the pretense?
Since the start of the battle, Vic has not used Conqueror's Haki. He had previously doubted whether Conqueror's Haki could break through immortality.
However, just because Vic hasn't used it doesn't mean Luffy hasn't. Luffy has been using Conqueror's Haki Coating to attack Saturn, but Saturn keeps reviving, so Vic ruled out the possibility of Conqueror's Haki before!
Now that the mysterious powerhouse has mentioned Conqueror's Haki, Vic believes there is only one possibility: using Conqueror's Coating can destroy the teleportation array, similar to the effect of one thing countering another. It seems like there are two problems, but in fact there is only one answer: use Conqueror's Haki to destroy the teleportation array. Once one thing is solved, everything else will be solved. By destroying the teleportation array, one can break the immortality barrier!
"Break!"
Without dwelling on the mysterious powerhouse, Vic leaped into the air, gathering his powerful Conqueror's Haki in his fist. The instant his body landed in the center of the teleportation array, he slammed his fist into the ground!
The teleportation array and the ground that had previously remained unresponsive to any attacks were now cracked inch by inch by Vic's punch imbued with powerful Conqueror's Haki. The teleportation array, firmly imprinted on the ground, gradually dimmed until it disappeared completely. Then, the ground there was pulverized in the aftershocks of the Conqueror's Coating's Haki, and dust billowed up everywhere!
"What!"
"How is this possible?"
"That belongs to Lord Imu..."
"How did he, an ordinary person, manage to do that?"
"It's Conqueror's Haki!"
"Danger!"
Even though Vic's figure was obscured by the smoke and dust, at this moment, the Five Elders, who were scattered in various places, all looked in that direction and their expressions changed. They were somewhat incredulous!
Whether it was Saint Saturn, who had been killed by Nika countless times before, Saint Warcury, who had been used as a test subject by Vic, or the other three Five Elders had either died once or never died, none of them looked as bad as they did now. That man made them feel danger, the danger of death!
" Luffy! Try taking him down again!"
The smoke and dust dissipated in the wind, and Vic's tall figure stood in a large crater. Because the teleportation array he had destroyed belonged to Saturn, Vic called out to Luffy.
Luffy isn't incapable of defeating Saturn, but his immortality is giving him a headache. Right now Saturn Gyuki entangled in his hand and can't move!
"Huh? Oh!"
Luffy trusted Vic a lot. Even though Luffy's mind was blank, he guessed something, but it was too complicated for him to understand. However, Vic's greeting was like a signal to him to just follow his intuition.
"Oh dear! It's wrapped too tightly, I can't untangle it!"
Luffy yelled, realizing that he couldn't untie Saturn by himself. His five fingers were too long and intertwined, like a knot that couldn't be tied. Even if he withdrew his Armament Haki, he couldn't untie them!
Luffy excitedly swung his arm, slamming Saturn to the ground several times, but there was still no sign of him loosening. Saturn, who had been struggling in his grasp, was now completely still, not even when Luffy slammed him to the ground and made a muffled groan!
"Alright! Since you can't solve it, let me lend you a hand!"
Vic was somewhat amused and exasperated. What was supposed to be a serious life-or-death battle took a turn for the worse with the Straw Hat Pirates, especially Luffy. It would be abnormal if he didn't display some comedic traits, and he could throw in an abstract pose at any moment.
After Vic finished speaking, he flashed to the white sphere surrounding Saturn, and with his fist wrapped in Ryuo, he punched Saturn right between his exposed eyes!
As Satan's pupils constricted sharply, the enormous spider's body exploded inside the white sphere, its flesh and blood vanishing into nothingness like ashes!
Luffy's hand finally returned to normal as the contents inside disappeared. Vic's Ryuo was very precise; after Saturn exploded from the inside out, it didn't cause any damage to Luffy's hand!
