"Is that so?"
Luffy was completely bewildered. He had used the Conqueror's Coating on Saturn countless times before, but Saturn just wouldn't die!
Looking at Saturn now, one could see that after being struck by a slash from Vic that was imbued with Conqueror's Haki, Saturn's severed spider leg was still lying in the distance, twitching. His body had not grown any more spider legs. In the past, after so much time had passed, Saturn's body would have been completely restored, but this time it really wasn't!
Luffy is a bit stubborn. Even though he has seen it, he still refuses to believe that he is not strong enough. After all, he has already developed Gear Fifth, so his confidence is naturally off the charts!
So he went to Saturn again, and after exchanging more than a dozen blows, he used his strongest Conqueror's Coating to date, the Bajrang Gun!
But the result forced him to face reality. Saturn had indeed been killed, but he quickly resurrected. And the resurrected Saturn still didn't have that half of a spider leg. This obvious contrast confirmed what Vic had said.
" Luffy! Leave him to me. You go and buy some time for the others. If you can tie up one or two more, that would be even better!"
Vic sent Luffy away, intending to deal with Saturn first. After all, he had already cut off half of Satan's spider leg, and it was the right thing to do to finish him off in one fell swoop. The giant boar Hoki was currently bound by his lightning ropes and could be dealt with at any time, so it was safer to Luffy help the others.
"Puff!"
Saturn heard what Vic said to the Straw Hat Boy, and it felt like a death sentence, filling Saturn with intense terror!
He knew that Vic already posed a threat to his life, but he was unwilling to accept it. How could he, a descendant of the Creator and a god-like being, easily die at the hands of a lowly peasant?
He wanted to fight back, he wanted to kill Vic, so Saturn opened his mouth wide and spat out a mouthful of thick venom, which went straight for Vic. The large amount of venom that rose into the air was enough to engulf Vic's entire body!
A foul stench assaulted his nostrils, and his Observation Haki gave him a warning. Vic knew he absolutely could not take the liquid sprayed by Saturn head-on; it might be highly toxic or extremely corrosive!
This is the first time Saturn has used this move since his appearance, and it's at such a critical moment, so it's most likely a trump card. It seems that Saturn is indeed afraid!
With a single slash, Vic split the waterfall-like liquid in two, sending it flying past him without a single drop getting close!
When the liquids hit the ground and collided, they splashed everywhere. Some of the naval personnel and special agents who were closer to the battlefield were splashed with a few drops!
Then the most terrifying scene unfolded: even if those people only got a few drops on their clothes, the liquid would instantly pierce through them!
Then the liquid seeped onto their skin, turning it instantly yellow and then black, spreading over an increasingly larger area. The skin there began to ulcerate and dissolve, and the people screamed in agony, their faces contorted in agony!
Before these people even had a chance to fall to the ground, their entire bodies turned into a pool of steaming, foul-smelling liquid!
"It's poisonous! Everyone be careful, don't touch those liquids!"
Vic glanced back and gasped. The liquid Saturn had sprayed was far too toxic; it had turned an adult into a puddle of liquid in less than a second. He quickly shouted a warning to the others!
Saturn sprayed out a considerable amount of liquid, covering a large area with this foul-smelling substance, which continued to flow towards the low-lying areas, raising plumes of purple smoke wherever it passed, and even scorching and blackening the ground!
"I'll show you how to spray poison! Let's see how you'll spray it now that your head's gone!"
Vic once again wrapped his powerful Conqueror's Haki Coating Blood Wither, and with a slash in the void, a Sword Gang flashed and disappeared into the void. When it reappeared, it was in the void perpendicular to it, right in front of Saturn's neck!
Moreover, it was very, very close to Saturn's neck. Although Saturn's Observation Haki was frantically alerting him, more intense than ever before, this time he couldn't even dodge!
Too close! Too fast! Saturn's neck was easier to cut than tofu. His large head fell from the giant spider's body, bounced a few times after hitting the ground, and then settled down!
Although Saturn's head was severed and blood splattered high, his spider-like body did not fall to the ground as if it had lost its life force.
It seems that his body and head being separated doesn't prevent him from surviving on his own, because the head on the ground is staring intently at Vic, which is not the look of a dead person. Even if a person dies with their eyes wide open, there is no intense killing intent in the eyes of a dead person!
"Without a body, let's see how you spew poison! I don't believe the venom comes from your mouth!"
It wasn't that Vic was afraid of the poison, but rather that he found the venom somewhat disgusting. Even if the venom came into contact with him, its activity and molecular structure would be instantly destroyed by the lightning!
Venom is essentially proteins and alkaloids, all of which are polymers of specific molecular structures. Vic's lightning is most effective at breaking the chemical bonds between molecules, instantly transforming those molecules into another substance and thus losing their toxicity. Therefore, even the most toxic venom is useless against Vic!
Saturn's gaze made Vic very uncomfortable, and he unleashed several more Sword Gang wrapped in Conqueror's Haki. This time, he didn't use his teleportation ability to cross space, because Saturn couldn't dodge them at all!
Then the giant spider's body was also chopped into eight or nine pieces, with blood and internal organs mixed in the fragments, like a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
But Saturn was still alive. His spider legs were extending and retracting erratically, his internal organs were pulsating rhythmically, and his head was staring intently at Vic, occasionally blinking rapidly. All of this indicated that Saturn was not dead!
He was only temporarily separated by Vic. This was not because spiders have stronger vitality. No matter how strong an insect's vitality is, it would not have such vitality if it were dismembered like this!
This is still due to his immortality. Although Vic's Conqueror's Haki can suppress the immortality's abilities, it cannot completely nullify them, just like seawater can render a Devil Fruit user powerless, but it cannot make a Devil Fruit user lose their abilities!
Saint Warcury! Saturn you really beyond saving?
Saint Saturn: "Yes! There's a force suppressing the ability of immortality; it must be that kid's Conqueror's Haki!"
Saint Warcury: "He's found a way to break the immortality barrier! We're all in danger now!"
Saint Saturn: "Hey! Mars, Ju Peter, Nusjuro! How's it going over there?"
Saint Mars: "This little girl is a bit tricky! Her Float-Float Fruit on those swords is almost divine, even more advanced than Golden Lion's. I can only barely hold on. Once that kid Vic gets a chance to act, we'll all be in danger!"
Saint Nusjuro: "I'm currently being besieged by two of the Straw Hat Pirates ' main forces, and the situation isn't good. I never expected that in just two years, that small pirate crew would grow to this extent. Is this the effect of the Sun God Nika?"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter: " Kuzan truly lives up to his reputation as Garp's disciple. Although he's not as good as me, I can't defeat him even if I wanted to. Now I'm stuck and can't escape. What should I do next?"
Saint Warcury: "I didn't even have a chance to make a move. That guy Vic was targeting me. I suspect he has more than just the ability to bind me; he's just using you guys as whetstones. If he wanted to, he could bind all five of us in an instant!"
Saint Nusjuro: "If, as you suspect, we find Vic, who can counter immortality, then we'll definitely have to settle scores with him and ask Lord Imu for help?"
Saint Mars: "This is just speculation. It's best not to bother Lord Imu until it's confirmed!"
Saint Saturn: "Yes! Vic has only found a way to counter our immortality. He can't truly kill us yet. Even if we're torn to pieces, we can still call on Lord Imu for help. I suggest we wait and see!"
Saint Shepherd Ju Peter: "Then let's wait and see!"
Saint Nusjuro: "Agreed!"
Saint Warcury: "Agreed!"
Saint Mars: "Agreed!"
