Pirates of the Peak

Chapter 1108 Unexpected

Im didn't care at all about the retired Five Elders' demonization, nor did she intend to help him stop it. Whether he was demonized or not, he was still a fighting force in her hands, and as long as he could be used, that was enough. Moreover, the fighting power of a person who had been demonized was even enhanced!

"What kind of ability is this? To be able to redirect someone else's attack, Vic is really hiding his true strength!"

After Sengoku and Tsuru were rescued by Vic, they stayed near him. Without Vic's permission, they didn't dare to leave. The mysterious woman clearly wanted to kill them both, so it was safer to stay with Vic!

Sengoku was one of the few who watched the entire scene where the woman tried to attack Vic but ended up hurting her own people. He was very surprised by Vic's strength, as he was actually gaining the upper hand. His previous gloom and despair had vanished!

"What are spatial laws? Are they just spatial abilities? The move Victor just used... isn't he a Logia-type Thunder Devil?"

Although Crane also overheard Vic and Im's conversation, the two spoke in a somewhat cryptic manner, and much of what they said remained unclear.

But as the two displayed their moves, she could guess some of the reasons. However, she didn't understand why they described spatial abilities as spatial laws. What was the difference between them?

With her keen insight, Tsuru felt that the difference might be the reason why Viktor and Im were stronger than the others!

And how did Vic's ability suddenly become a spatial ability again? Could it be that Vic, like Blackbeard, has mastered the ability to possess two abilities simultaneously?

"Didn't you hear what that woman said? There are two ways to acquire superhuman abilities: self-realization and Devil Fruits!"

The abilities gained through Devil Fruits are called powers, while those gained through self-realization are called laws; the two are probably quite similar.

However, those who achieve enlightenment on their own will likely be even more powerful, just like the two of them.

Furthermore, the laws one comprehends and the abilities gained through Devil Fruits don't conflict, nor do they cause one to explode and die. I think that's how it should be, right?

Sengoku had been by Tsuru's side the whole time, and he had heard everything Tsuru heard. Although Vic and Im didn't say much, they still revealed quite a few secrets, enough for him to analyze some of the truth. Although it wasn't much, it sounded quite reasonable.

"It seems that the World Government has not only hidden the history of the Void Century, but also a path to becoming stronger, and an even stronger one at that. They've been keeping the world at arm's length!"

Sengoku's guess was reasonable. Tsuru thought about it and felt that it made a lot of sense and was in line with the World Government's style of doing things!

I just don't know how Vic broke through this blockade. Could it be that the contents of the newspaper were not all there was, and that there was a part hidden?

After retracting his trident, Im did not change his move and continued to thrust at Vic's body, as if he wanted to see how far Vic had comprehended the laws of space!

The laws of space and time are among the most powerful laws, and Im is extremely envious of them. However, their power also means that they are difficult to comprehend!

Therefore, in Im's plan, these kinds of laws need to be left for last to be understood!

Space-type Devil Fruits are not difficult to find given the World Government's strength and influence; she could get one whenever she wanted.

She just didn't know how long it would take her to fully comprehend such a powerful law. If it took too long, it would disrupt her plans!

She needs to comprehend as many of the pre-planned laws as possible over a period of 800 years, such as demons, immortality, and contracts!

If she gets stuck on the laws of time or space, she won't be able to comprehend other laws and continue to complete her plan!

Therefore, for the past 800 years, she has not touched the laws of time and space.

As for why it's 800 years, it's because this time is Joy Boy's prophecy. As long as she can break Joy Boy's prophecy, this world will truly belong entirely to her!

Then, whichever law she wants to comprehend, she won't be able to? It'll just take her more time! By then, who will be able to defy her?

Im continued his attack, and Vic was not idle either. The two went back and forth, one giving me a spear and the other giving me a slash through space!

The trident that Im stabbed at Vic's body was transferred by Vic to the Five Elders and the Divine Knight through the laws of space, and screams and demonic roars filled the air!

Even so, Im completely ignored it!

The wounds that Vic inflicted on Im were quickly healed by her immortality, so neither of them suffered any damage!

The battle between the two was extremely fierce and unusually loud. Coupled with the roars of those who had been transformed into demons, many people's attention was drawn to the intense fight between the two!

Among them were the Five Elders and the Divine Knights under Im's command. They were also human and curious. They had never seen Lord Im make a serious move before, and naturally wanted to see just how powerful their god was!

Luffy and Ace also want to see, because Vic is the key to this battle. If Vic is easily defeated, then no matter how hard they fight, they will have no chance!

So they stopped attacking and deliberately kept their distance from the enemy while defending, just to take a look at the battlefield and see the strength of Im and Vic!

Then both sides were stunned. The Five Elders and the Divine Knights were wide-eyed with shock and confusion!

They never expected that Vic could actually fight back against the god they held in high esteem!

If we really want to be serious, Vic actually had the upper hand. After all, Vic's knife was constantly slashing at Lord Im, with blood and limbs flying everywhere, making him look quite pathetic!

Meanwhile, their Lord Im's trident was completely embedded in their own people, not even touching the hem of Vic's clothes. How could they accept this?

Ultimately, the outcome of this war will depend on the top-tier combat power!

Luffy and his crew were dumbfounded, like old people on the subway, followed by immense excitement and relief. When they sensed the aura released by Im earlier, they felt uneasy and even somewhat pessimistic and desperate!

The opponent's aura was too powerful; they were on a completely different level from them, making it impossible for them to muster the will to resist!

If no one can stop this woman, no matter how many Five Elders and Divine Knights they defeat, it will be useless. In the end, they will all have to face this insurmountable peak, which is very hopeless!

Seeing that Vic could fight that woman to a standstill and even gain the upper hand was incredible, and their hopes were rekindled!

Ace and Dragon were relatively calm, because they knew Vic's true strength!

"It seems you've come a long way on the path of spatial laws!"

After unleashing several attacks that turned several of his own normal teammates into demons, Im stopped and distanced himself from Vic!

She knew that this level of physical attack was completely useless against Vic, who had made some progress in the laws of space; it would be difficult for him to even touch her body!

Im instantly looked at Vic with newfound respect. That was the law of space! How old was Vic? He had already comprehended the law of space to such an extent. It was truly unbelievable!

She had also traveled through the universe, but had never heard of the God of Space and the God of Time. She knew that these were two laws that were extremely difficult to comprehend, and it was for this reason that she had not yet touched these two laws!
