Above Sky Island, two overwhelming wills clashed in the air.
Victor and the Celestial Dragon Caronas Igusheng both had scarlet pupils, their immense auras—so powerful they seemed almost tangible—fighting for dominance.
The clash of their Conqueror's Haki made the surrounding air tremble violently.
A trace of worry flashed in Hancock's deep blue eyes, the world's most beautiful Pirate Empress. Though she knew Victor's strength, this Celestial Dragon outlier was by no means weak.
The domineering aura released by Igusheng was, in fact, stronger than Victor's.
Victor himself was shocked. His Conqueror's Haki was high-level, honed through countless battles and wars, yet in this confrontation, he felt slightly weaker.
Could it be that Igu's Conqueror's Haki had reached King-level?
But King-level… shouldn't it be even stronger?
[Ding! The host's fighting spirit has been detected to be declining. Reminder: Even with the same level of skill, different people can exert different power in different situations!]
[The Heavenly Dragon Caronas Igusheng's fighting spirit currently surpasses the host's. Take every battle seriously. The system's level indicator is only for reference!]
The system prompt echoed in Victor's mind, snapping him out of his momentary arrogance.
From the beginning, Victor had always relied on ruthless force, tricking many enemies. But having grown stronger, he had grown slightly overconfident. He had underestimated Caronas Igusheng at the start.
He thought Igu Sheng was just a strange Celestial Dragon, maybe even invincible—but that was a grave misjudgment.
Igusheng had trained relentlessly since childhood and possessed extraordinary strength. Victor's contempt had cost him the initiative.
"Makabaka, you seem careless! Do you think I'm not worthy to be your opponent?! Then you will surely die!!!"
In the duel of Conqueror's Haki, Igu had the upper hand. His voice was cold, no longer the friendly tone from the tavern.
He vowed to avenge his sisters.
Saint Igu gripped his sword tightly and vanished in an instant, rushing at Victor like a gust of wind.
The six Navy Styles, honed to perfection, followed!
Victor's heart raced. The moment Igu attacked, he transformed into lightning, dodging the furious slash.
Boom!
Though the strike missed, it left a massive tear in the clouds. Victor's eyes chilled as he stared at the Celestial Dragon. If it weren't for the system warning, he might have suffered a minor loss.
The Celestial Dragon he had once shared drinks and laughs with was indeed extraordinarily powerful. Combined with great-swordsman-level technique, Igu Sheng's strength reached the peak of diamond-level!
That level was already terrifying—but when Victor got serious, diamond-level strength wasn't enough.
"Maka… Thunder God Victor! Come! I will kill you and that woman! Avenge my sisters!"
Igusheng's anger surged. He was a Celestial Dragon, but not an ordinary one. Responsibility and desire refused him a life of ignorance like other nobles. He knew a pirate with a 2.1 billion berries bounty must be ruthless—but so was he. He would avenge his sisters!
Sword Art: God's Slaughter!
Countless bloody slashes formed a lethal net, promising to slaughter the pirates who killed gods.
Victor watched as the killing net pressed toward him. Igu's sword gleamed with concentrated power as he attacked from behind the net.
Swordsmanship: Divine Slaughter!
Two devastating strikes, almost all of Igu's power unleashed.
"Igu! You are strong indeed! We could have been friends, but we stand on different sides! Now, let me crush the arrogance of a world noble!"
Victor's eyes were icy. Igu had wanted to change the World Government for the common people, but he still viewed himself as a god—a supreme noble.
Gods to Victor were meant to be dethroned.
Victor gripped the sword Lei Yu, channeling his lightning into the blade.
Swordsmanship·One Hundred Million Volts·God-killing Thunder Tribulation!
Boom!
The God-killing Thunder Slash collided with Igu's Killing Net. Thunder exploded, slashes scattered everywhere, and the shockwave forced Hancock to retreat a hundred meters.
Boom! Boom!
Victor's Thunder Dragon engulfed Igu's strikes. The Celestial Dragon, covered in blood, was stripped of all traces of nobility. His fatal attack blocked, he faltered in self-doubt.
How could this lowly pirate, appearing just a few years younger, be so powerful?!
Saint Igu had been personally trained by the Five Elders since childhood. How could he fall to a mere pirate?!
Seeing his sisters' broken corpses and remembering his father, electrocuted to charcoal in the sea, Igu's rage surged anew.
He was a supreme world noble, a god-like Celestial Dragon. He swore to kill Victor and Hancock.
"Well!"
Victor looked coldly at Igu Sheng. The once-good Celestial Dragon had now fully turned evil—but Victor did not regret killing the three brutal Tianlong nobles. Even given another chance, he would act the same.
Thunder Law: God's Judgment!!!
Victor raised his hand. A massive thunder dragon fell from the sky.
This was a skill enhanced through the Thunder Fruit and Observation Haki, creating a vast electromagnetic field for ultra-long-range precision strikes.
But first, the Celestial Dragons had to die.
Boom!
Boom!
Two divine thunderbolts struck Igu Sheng, leaving him severely injured. Another strike could kill him.
As the last thunderbolt descended, five mysterious figures in white robes and masks appeared on Sky Island, rescuing Saint Igu.
