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

On the other side, Karl said with a serious expression, "If nothing unexpected happens, Im took advantage of this time difference to activate Uranus, but the problem is that we don't know the exact location of Uranus."

Kuzan took a deep breath: "There's no other way, we have to find him now, we must stop Im!"

Dragon nodded: "That's right. The world is in grave danger. Only by uniting can we stop Im's plot."

A deafening roar shook the earth.

As if an earthquake had struck, the whole of Mary Geoise trembled and shook.

After regaining his footing, Dragon immediately shouted, "Everyone be careful! Something is about to emerge from underground!"

“Over there!!!”

Everyone turned to look, and spiderweb-like cracks appeared on the red earth continent behind Pangu City. Then, the ground bulged up, and an ancient-looking fortress appeared before them, floating in the air.

"Is that Uranus?"

"Although it is somewhat different from the ancient weapon I imagined, it should be Uranus."

"Im!!!! I'm going to knock you away!!!"

Luffy was the first to lose his temper and leaped into the air to attack Uranus.

Vivi, positioned at the control center, scoffed: "The new generation of Joy Boy is still so foolish!"

"Uranus, activate the defensive force field!"

Zizzi~

Just as Luffy's fist was about to land on Uranus, a spherical barrier appeared outside the fortress, much like the barrier-barrier fruit user.

With a bang, the barrier effortlessly blocked Nika Luffy's attack. Luffy, in pain, withdrew his arm and blew on his swollen fist.

Forces are reciprocal; the greater the force Luffy exerted, the greater the backlash he suffered.

"Ouch! It hurts so much!"

Seeing Luffy's defeat, the others did not make any rash moves, but Uranus slowly floated towards them.

"I am Im, the true ruler of the World Government. Submit to me, or perish along with this world!!!"

Im's voice came from Uranus, and everyone present changed their expressions upon hearing it, as these words undoubtedly confirmed Fujitora's intuition.

Is the moon really going to crash down on them?

Dragon was the first to react, retorting passionately, "Im! Do you think threats can subdue us? We stormed Mary Geoise not to submit to you! The World Government is a thing of the past, the Revolutionary Army is the future!!!" Dragon's voice was filled with unwavering determination and indomitable will.

Kuzan then declared, "I, Kuzan, as Fleet Admiral, hereby declare that from this day forward, we will form an alliance with the Revolutionary Army to fight against the World Government! Im! Your plan will not succeed!!!"

"Victory will ultimately belong to justice!!!"

Inside Uranus, Im's face was ashen. She hadn't expected these people to still dare to resist her threats so resolutely. Were they not afraid of death?

"Hahaha!" Im's mocking laughter echoed through the sky, seemingly unconcerned about Dragon and the others' persistence. "You think you're the embodiment of justice? How laughable! Before the power of Uranus, all your efforts are in vain. You are destined for destruction!"

"Destroy them, Uranus!!!"

Within the protective shield of Uranus, dazzling energy patterns intertwined, forming a massive energy singularity that continued to expand, enveloping the entirety of Uranus. The terrifying energy made it hard not to suspect that the entire Mary Geoise would be reduced to steam by this attack.

The immense energy fluctuations created an unprecedented sense of oppression. Dragon and the others frowned deeply; faced with Uranus's overwhelming power, they too felt a sense of powerlessness. However, they did not give up, but instead steadied themselves even more firmly.

However, just as the energy singularity of Uranus continued to expand and emit a dazzling red light, suddenly, a bright light streaked across the red earth, like a meteor traversing the starry sky, and instantly arrived in front of Uranus.

Then, a blinding light shone into everyone's eyes, and a colossal giant of light appeared before Uranus, its hand stabbing towards the energy singularity that Uranus had condensed.

The energy singularity shrank continuously, merging into the giant's body, and a red halo gradually appeared on the giant of light.

Im stared in astonishment at the scene; she hadn't expected Karl to possess such an ability.

Uranus's energy was gradually transferred into Karl's body, and the attack that was enough to wipe out the team naturally lost its threat.

At this moment, Karl stretched out his right hand, conjuring a sword of holy light, and returned all the energy he had just absorbed to Uranus.

"Holy Light Judgment!!!"

A colossal flying slash, nearly a kilometer wide and almost ten kilometers long, appeared in everyone's sight...

Im's gaze sharpened, and he cried out, "Uranus, activate the deflection field!"

Irregular blue energy arcs appeared around Uranus, and then Karl's ProMAX version of Flying Slash passed by Uranus and flew towards the Red Line behind it.

After a loud bang, everyone fell silent...

Chapter 382 The Invincible Uranus

A large chunk of the red earth behind Uranus vanished into thin air.

The red earthen continent that separated the sea was forcibly erased, and the North Sea and the East Sea were no longer separate. The warm currents from the East Sea and the cold undercurrents from the North Sea began to merge, releasing rich nutrients and attracting countless fish.

This strike connected two oceans!

To be honest, even Karl was somewhat shocked. Imagine, if he hadn't absorbed the energy gathered by Uranus, the Revolutionary Army and the Navy would probably have been wiped out. Very few people would have survived such an attack.

Seeing this, Luffy was filled with excitement and immediately transformed into the Rubber Giant, shouting loudly, "Uncle Karl, I'm here to help you! Let's defeat this guy together!!!"

Karl glanced back at Luffy and nodded slightly. He still believed in Luffy's strength; after all, he was the chosen one.

Thus, the Giant of Light and the Rubber Giant joined forces and launched an attack on Uranus.

"Rubber Monkey Gun!"

"Holy Light Arbitration!"

In the Uranus control room, Im's lips curled slightly upward, and he sighed with some regret, "It's useless. Uranus is invincible."

Although she is currently using Vivi's body and her combat power is almost zero, just as she said, Uranus is invincible.

Invincible, in the literal sense. Although she gained control of Uranus through some schemes and tricks, the effect was obvious.

Joy Boy was forced to surrender, and the Twenty Kings bowed down and honored her as the Uncrowned Queen.

All of this is thanks to the power of Uranus, after all, Uranus was the creation of the moon people.

"Activate the energy absorption field!"

Just now, Karl absorbed the energy stored up by Uranus. Now, Uranus is absorbing the kinetic energy generated by Luffy and Karl's attacks and converting it into its own energy reserves.

Under the combined attack of the two, Uranus's protective shield became increasingly impenetrable.

"Huh? Why isn't it working? Damn it, let's try again!!!" Luffy clenched his fist, preparing to launch another attack.

"Wait a minute, don't rush!" Karl frowned, realizing that something was wrong.

Their combined attack just now, if not destroyed the island, should have at least scraped the ground, right? But Uranus didn't budge an inch, and the protective shield even became more solid. Is that reasonable?

But when Karl thought that this was Uranus, the Heavenly King, he felt relieved. If Uranus were so easy to deal with, the World Government wouldn't exist.

"what happened?"

"Idiot, it's absorbing the energy from our attack!"

Giant Luffy scratched his head: "Then let it absorb it. It can't keep absorbing forever, can it?"

Carl was stunned. "What you said makes so much sense. I'm speechless... what a load of rubbish!"

Im isn't stupid. If her energy is full, why doesn't she release it?

The move just now was a clear example, except that it was just right for Karl to assimilate and absorb it.

But Karl already felt some strain absorbing it, and if he were to add more weight, he might not be able to handle it.

What should we do?

In Mary Geoise, seeing the two giants fighting Uranus, Dragon and Kuzan exchanged a glance, both realizing they could no longer stand idly by.

Kuzan immediately ordered, "All naval personnel, listen up! Admirals without the ability to fly, evacuate immediately and await further orders. The rest of you, come with me! We will fight alongside Karl!!!"

The navy is disciplined, and admirals who cannot fly, such as Mole and Onigumo, voluntarily left to avoid being a hindrance. As a result, only three admirals remained: Aokiji, Kizaru, and Akainu, as well as Vice Admiral Peng En, the Flying Marine.

As for Fujitora, he has to protect Vegapunk, and he also has a special mission.

On the Revolutionary Army's side, Dragon gave the same order, and those who remained were: Sabo, Raven, Kuma, and Dragon himself. Everyone else evacuated.

Meanwhile, Dragon didn't forget Vegapunk either.

"Dr. Vegapunk, can you find a way to restrain Uranus? This is very important to us. If we cannot stop Im as soon as possible, the lives of people all over the world will be in danger."

Vegapunk said with a serious expression, "I understand that, of course. However, Uranus is a field I have never been exposed to before. When I was in the Science Unit, the World Government never revealed any information about Uranus."

Dorrag remained silent for a long while, then sighed, "It seems that we have no choice but to take a desperate gamble?"

At this moment, Vegapunk's tone shifted: "Although I don't know how to counter Uranus, I have some ideas on how to break through its protective force field. Just give me a little more time..."

Dragon's face lit up with joy: "Really? What should we do?"

Vegapunk pointed to Uranus in the distance and said, "I need to observe the entire process of Uranus absorbing, releasing, and deflecting energy, and record the data so that I can create a device to break its force field."

"Therefore, you must make Uranus 'give it his all'!"

"Give it your all? I understand." Dragon nodded, turned to look in Kuzan's direction, and activated his ability to chase after them.

“Kuzan, I just spoke with Dr. Vegapunk. He has a way to break Uranus’s protective field, but he needs our cooperation.”

Kuzan raised an eyebrow and quickly asked, "How should we cooperate?"

"It's very simple..."
