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

"The Five Elders have been defeated, and the Revolutionary Army has already entered Pangaea. If the World Government doesn't have a backup plan, then it's all over." After Kuzan finished speaking, he took out a Den Den Mushi with a megaphone and gave the order.

"Attention everyone! Attention everyone! We have reached a critical moment. Please pay attention to any changes. If Uranus appears, we must intervene in this war without hesitation!"

"Attention all..."

Sakazuki cracked his neck and said calmly, "Is it finally coming? The legendary ancient weapon capable of destroying the entire world, Uranus..."

Fujitora slowly drew his staff sword, a purple halo flashing by.

The ape put down its crossed legs, slowly stood up from its seat, and pouted: "Ugh~ How terrifying! A weapon capable of destroying the entire world? Is the World Government really prepared to drag the whole world down with it?"

Pangu City.

bang~

Luffy smashed the door open with one punch, followed by Zoro, Sanji, and a group of Revolutionary Army soldiers.

Luffy looked up and saw a person standing on the high steps.

"Hey! Did you kidnap Weiwei? Hand her over right now!!!"

"Who are you? Dare to take off your hood?"

"Damn it, hand over Miss Vivi right now!!!"

As more and more people gathered below the throne, "Im" rose gracefully from the void throne, crossed his arms, and was enveloped in dark purple shadow energy.

"careful!"

Swish swish swish~

Endless shadow arrows appeared in the sky, surging towards the group like a tidal wave.

Luffy stomped his foot and used his hands to pull up the rubberized ground, forming a protective barrier that blocked the rain of arrows.

Click~

Zoro seized the opportunity to get into position, and once the rain of arrows stopped, he immediately launched his attack. He wanted to see who this mysterious person was!

Sanji wasn't going to fall behind either. Just like a runner at the starting line, he was waiting for the starting gun to fire before he took a step forward and launched a surprise attack.

"Stop! Luffy!!!"

Chapter 379 Im in Action

Luffy, having indeed heard no more noise, quickly lowered the piece of land to make room.

However, everyone was stunned the moment the "land shield" disappeared.

Everyone was so focused on dodging the Shadow Arrows that Luffy complained about the ground blocking his view that no one noticed what was happening, and an even more terrifying attack was brewing.

The ceiling was covered in dark purple shadows, and a huge shadow sphere hung from it, constantly growing larger.

On the Void Throne, "Im" coldly shouted, "Shadow Blast!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Shadow Sphere began to expand rapidly, releasing terrifying energy...

Dragon roared, his eyes blazing with fury, "Run!!! Bear!!!"

Kuma's figure flashed repeatedly, knocking out several important figures of the Revolutionary Army and the Straw Hat crew. However, there were still countless Revolutionary Army soldiers in the hall, and even if Kuma wanted to save them, it was too late.

Rumble~

With a deafening roar, the entire Pangu City was as if it had been hit by a missile, leaving it in ruins. Those revolutionary soldiers who couldn't escape probably didn't even have the chance to use the Holy Healing Pill.

No remains of the body...

The sudden turn of events dampened everyone's spirits, but it also made them realize the power of the mysterious figure.

This was the heaviest blow the revolutionary army had suffered since they stormed Mary Geoise.

Sabo took a deep breath, removed his top hat, and observed a moment of silence for his fallen comrades.

Luffy clenched his teeth, a silent rage surging within him.

At this moment, Dragon stepped forward and said solemnly, "Revolutionary soldiers, our sacrifices cannot be in vain! We cannot retreat because of the enemy's strength! We must continue forward, for our comrades, for freedom, and for a better future!"

The crowd nodded silently; Dragon's words ignited hope and determination in their hearts. Faced with destruction and hardship, the Revolutionary Army's will remained steadfast.

Sabo raised his head, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Luffy, let's go meet that mysterious person!!!"

"Alright! Sabo!"

The two brothers fought side by side, rushing towards the ruins in search of the mysterious man.

Sure enough, "Im," dressed in a black robe, stood quietly in the center of the ruins, waiting for their arrival.

"Flame Dragon King!!!"

"Rubber Crow Cannon!!!"

Im slowly raised his head, stretched out his hand, and condensed a shadow shield to block Sabo and Luffy's combined attack. At the same time, he conjured a sky full of arrow shadows and launched a counterattack, forcing Sabo and Luffy to give up their aerial advantage.

Hehehe~ Sanji clenched his fists tightly and said unwillingly, "I'm going for it, for Vivi!!!"

With a thud, Sanji soared into the air, while Zoro muttered "idiot" under his breath before following him.

"Ghostly Aura - Nine-Sword Style - Asura - Piercing Might!!!"

"Devil's Wind Kick - Spinning Burn STRIKE!!!"

Taking advantage of the moment when "Im" was fighting Sabo Zoro, Zoro and Sanji launched an attack from behind, using their strongest moves right from the start.

Just as the two were about to approach "Im", Im suddenly turned around, staring at them with his pure black eyes, and then his figure turned into a shadow and disappeared into the ground.

Sanji and Zoro missed their target.

Sensing something was wrong, Sanji quickly turned around, and sure enough, "Imu" emerged from underground and appeared behind them.

"Watch out! Zoro! Sanji! Get out of the way!!!"

Luffy raised his fists and roared, "Gum-Gum Mole Gun!!!"

Duang ~

With a sudden movement, Zoro and Sanji were bounced away by the elastic ground. Then, countless rubber fists formed on the ground and launched a surprise attack on "Im".

Seeing this, "Imu" decisively abandoned his plan to pursue Sanji and Zoro and prepared to burrow underground. However, the ground had already been assimilated into rubber by Luffy's ability.

It's roughly equivalent to the ground being occupied by Luffy's ability, and "Imu" can no longer use the properties of shadow to escape as before.

But "Im" isn't entirely helpless; since it can't avoid it, it'll just have to fight it head-on.

Im then conjured a shadow version of the Mole Gun, mimicking Luffy's attack, and for a moment, they were evenly matched.

On the other side, "Weiwei" and Luo successfully arrived at the center of the red earth continent.

It was a huge space located underground in Pangu City, containing a simple-looking fortress that appeared unremarkable on the surface, but once you stepped inside, you would discover its secrets.

Its unremarkable appearance is just a disguise; this fortress holds a secret within.

A dazzling array of scientific instruments, energy devices flashing with blue light...

"Uranus, I never thought I would have to use you again. Fortunately, I have made ample preparations."

What Im meant by preparation was Vivi's body. The bloodline within her possessed the ability to control Uranus, or rather, the awakened Vivi was the key to activating Uranus.

If Queen Lily was the first-generation manipulator of the Heavenly Kings, then Vivi was the second-generation manipulator.

The moment Im saw Vivi's photo for the first time, she was already determined to kill her, because she knew that this girl was not far from awakening, just like Poseidon, the sea god, who had only recently awakened.

The problem is that, as Queen Lily, she also has the ability to control Uranus. Once Vivi awakens, the new Uranus controller will seize control of her, causing her to lose Uranus, a powerful weapon.

Therefore, Vivi must die. Even if she awakens, as long as she dies again, she can regain the authority to control the Heavenly King.

Now, everything is under her control.

Im walked to the control panel and placed his hand on the white sphere in the center of the panel.

呲味~

Several needles emerged from the white sphere, piercing the palm. Bright red blood seeped onto the white sphere, which immediately turned red and began to slowly rotate.

"Ding! Administrator biometric information detected. Acquiring administrator privileges..."

While fighting the Revolutionary Army and the Straw Hat crew, "Im" suddenly felt as if something was missing from her body, but she didn't pay much attention to it, since she was just pretending to be "Im" at the moment.

In this way, "Vivi" awakens ahead of schedule and transfers control of the Heavenly King from Im to herself.

"Administrator privileges have been changed. Please issue an instruction."

"Connect to the lunar control base."

"Contacting the lunar control center, please wait..."

"Contact has been established with the lunar control center. We are activating the robot control at the control center. Activation successful."

"Weiwei" smiled slightly and whispered, "Calculate the trajectory and do everything possible to get the moon closer."

"The moon's approach may cause tidal anomalies on this planet. Calculations show that 90% of the landmass will be submerged. Is the operation confirmed?"

"confirm!"
