One Piece: Starting as a Marine Lieutenant, I Slack Off and Get Stronger

Outside Pangu City, revolutionary soldiers roared and charged towards the city gates. Just as they were about to arrive, a dazzling flash of light appeared in the sky, accompanied by a loud bang. A ravine several kilometers long appeared outside Pangu City, blocking the revolutionary soldiers' path.

Eastern Army Commander Betty flicked away her cigar and looked up in shock. A bald man in a white robe was standing on the city wall, looking at them with a cold gaze. Then he held the first generation Kitetsu in his hands and raised it high.

Betty yelled in a fit of rage, "Get out of the way!!!"

"I come!!!"

Ta-da!

It's Zoro! He's rushing over, reciting a little poem!

"Nine mountains and eight seas form one world, and a thousand worlds together form a 'small thousand world.' This world multiplied by three, without interruption, is the secret of the Three-Sword Style... One Great? Three Thousand? Great Thousand World."

Zoro couldn't possibly miss out on a swordsman he'd finally encountered.

shuh~

The two men's flying strikes collided in mid-air, like thunderbolts striking fire, generating a powerful shockwave that caused the surrounding revolutionary soldiers to fall to the ground.

The four army commanders immediately ordered, "Everyone, enter Pangu City from other locations. Avoid being caught in the fighting and causing unnecessary casualties!!!"

However, the next second.

Mars, Saturn, Mercury, and Jupiter appeared in turn, and although they were far apart, they blocked the revolutionary army's path into Pangu City.

The four men stood silently on the city wall, but their aura was chilling, and the revolutionary soldiers dared not make any rash moves.

The Five Elders seemed unwilling to waste words with the revolutionaries and launched an attack directly, causing a period of chaos.

Dragon frowned and shouted, "Go stop them!" Then Dragon led the charge and fought Jupiter, Shepard X. Pittor.

Sabo, Luffy, and the others rushed over to stop the other Five Elders from mowing down the grass.

Don't let their age fool you; these five elders are all old folks. When they get moving, they don't act like old people at all.

Although the five individuals differed in strength, the differences were not significant. Most importantly, each of them possessed strength comparable to a general, and even surpassed the leader of the Knights of God.

Perhaps these five old men were once members of the Knights of God!

Therefore, it is clear that the World Government's strength should not be underestimated. If it weren't for Luffy's super-Emperor-level combat power, the Revolutionary Army would not have been able to break through to Pangaea Castle so easily.

The Seraphim alone are enough to give them a run for their money.

In the sky, all the naval forces watched the battle on the ground intently. Although they didn't feel much involvement, this was the first time they had witnessed the power and resources of the World Government.

It's not surprising that such a behemoth, which has existed for 800 years and accumulated countless resources, possesses so many high-end combat forces.

"Are these old guys actually going to fight themselves? Do they really intend to settle the matter solely through combat?"

Kuzan suddenly felt that he couldn't understand the World Government anymore. Was this still the same World Government that would arbitrarily find a reason to destroy a country just for the sake of saving face?

"Karl, tell me the truth, does the World Government have another plan? If it wasn't the Five Elders who activated Uranus, then who was it?"

Although Im's existence is never mentioned in the Poneglyphs, if we can't figure something out by now, then Kuzan would be a failure as Fleet Admiral.

Karl took a deep breath, patted Kuzan on the shoulder, but realized he couldn't reach him, so he could only awkwardly touch his own face.

"Don't worry, Kuzan, you'll find out in time!"

Kuzan: Still pretending? Riddler, get out of the Navy!

Kuzan rolled his eyes at Karl, then could only watch patiently, waiting for the so-called backup plan to appear. Hopefully, the Navy would just have to be spectators.

With the Five Elders tied up by the Revolutionary Army and the Straw Hat Pirates, the Revolutionary Army soldiers found an opportunity to enter Pangaea.

"Queen Vivi, it's too dangerous! Let us scout ahead first!"

Vivi shook her head firmly: "No, I want to..."

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and endless shadows swept in, enveloping and swallowing Weiwei.

When the shadows dissipated, Vivi had already vanished without a trace.

"Queen Vivi!!!" "Vivi! Queen!!!"

Icarus and Bell were frantic with worry, but no matter how they called out, they couldn't get a response from Vivi.

among the flowers.

"Who are you?!!"

Chapter 378 Im's Plan

"My name..."

"Heh, that's quite an interesting question. You've already reached Mary Geoise, yet you still don't know my name?"

Im slowly walked up to Vivi, who was unable to move, his wine-red pupils fixed on her eyes, and chuckled softly.

Reaching out, she pulled down her hood, and the instant she saw Im's face, Vivi's pupils dilated, her breathing quickened, and she blurted out, "Queen Lily?!?"

"Neferutari D. Lily, is that the name you're referring to? Yes, the body I'm using is indeed hers. The last person who knew this secret is dead. Oh, right, he was your father, wasn't he?"

Vivi shouted angrily, "It's you! You're the murderer who killed my father!"

Im didn't answer, but instead raised his right hand and gently stroked Vivi's cheek, saying to himself, "There are already signs of awakening, very good! It seems my plan can begin!"

"What do you want to do?!"

Im winked at Vivi, clapped his hands lightly, and a dark figure emerged from the shadows, slowly stepping forward.

"Trafalgar D. Wattir Ro, I command you, switch our bodies!"

Vivi looked at Luo in shock, only to see that his pupils were completely black, with no white in his eyes. This state was clearly abnormal.

Luo nodded slightly, extended his right hand, and whispered, "Room - Slaughterhouse!"

boo~

A hemispherical circular space enveloped the three of them. Im's lips curled up slightly as he extended his right hand and released a dark shadow that shot into Vivi's brow.

Vivi trembled violently as if she had been electrocuted, and her pupils gradually turned completely black, just like Luo's situation.

Then Vivi quieted down, staring at Im with her deep eyes, and whispered, "Master!"

Im nodded in satisfaction, then looked at Law: "We can begin. I didn't bring you out of Impel Down so you could just watch the show."

Luo slowly closed his eyes, moving his fingers as if playing the piano, with a whoosh.

Vivi and Im have already swapped bodies in the space.

"Tsk tsk tsk~ What a young and energetic body!" After experiencing his new body, Im stretched out his hand and pointed at Vivi: "Now, you are Im. Your mission is to stay here and use my power to destroy those invaders!"

"Yes! Master!"

Then, "Weiwei" smiled and said to Luo, "Alright, now it's time to activate the Heavenly King!"

shuh~

A stone fell to the ground, and "Vivi" and Luo vanished without a trace. "Im" put on his hood and slowly walked towards the Void Throne high above, awaiting the arrival of the invading enemy.

Pangu City.

"Mr. Luffy, Mr. Luffy, something terrible has happened!!! Queen Vivi has disappeared!!!"

Luffy, who was fighting Saturn, was stunned for a moment, then became extremely angry: "Where did Vivi go?!"

"I don't know. When we entered Pangu City, endless shadows attacked us, and we couldn't see anything. After the shadows disappeared, Princess Vivi had vanished without a trace!"

"Damn it!!!"

In Luffy's eyes, Vivi is his partner and his crew member. Now that his crew member is missing, Luffy has no interest in playing with Saturn anymore.

bang~

Luffy unleashed an astonishing burst of Conqueror's Haki, repelling Saturn, and then quickly entered Nikka state.

"Sorry, I have to go rescue my friends now. I'll play with you another time!"

Boom~

Luffy leaped into the air, soaring into the clouds, shouting, "Rubber!"

Saturn stared wide-eyed at the colossal fist that blotted out the sky, and swallowed hard. He absolutely couldn't take it head-on, otherwise...

"Ape God Spear!!!"

As the Ape God Spear was about to fall, the others in the battle gasped in shock and fled in panic to avoid being accidentally injured.

But Saturn seems to have no way to avoid it.

A gigantic fist, the size of a small island, fell from a great height, shaking the entire Mary Geoise and creating a huge crater in the center of Pangaea's square.

At this time, Dragon also received news that Queen Vivi of Alabasta had gone missing and the situation was very bad.

"Everyone, let's finish this quickly! Take down these old bastards as soon as possible!!!"

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!!!!" "Charge!!!"

"What?! Vivi has been kidnapped! Damn it, who dared to hurt Vivi?!" Sanji was instantly enraged, his legs kicking so fast they were practically blurring into a blur.

The five elders are furious!

Fortunately, the Five Elders were exhausted from being surrounded by many people, while the Revolutionary Army had plenty of Holy Light and Holy Healing Shells. They unleashed their power in a short time, and the Five Elders really couldn't withstand it, kneeling down one after another.

As it turns out, not every old man is Garp.
