"What do you think this place is, looking around as you please! Eat my hammer!"
He was burly and well-built, and the explosive force of his movements while carrying a ten-ton hammer couldn't help but surprise Vladimir slightly.
"Not bad, it seems that the assessment underestimated you. You have at least 400 million in combat power."
He commented with a click of his tongue, with no intention of dodging at all, letting the huge hammer smash towards him.
"Already scared silly?"
The strong man sneered inwardly, and didn't stop at all.
The giant hammer smashed towards Vladimir's head, but before it could touch him, a hazy white light suddenly flashed outside Vladimir's body.
Holy Light Barrier!
Thud!
The giant hammer shook, and the strong man's face changed slightly. He only felt his hands go numb, and the hammer almost slipped out of his hands.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough, his entire person would have been sent flying by the reaction force.
However, even so, he still stumbled back seven or eight steps, and finally sat down on the ice.
"What!?"
The strong man was stunned, completely unable to understand the scene before him.
He smashed a hammer, but didn't hit the person, and was bounced away by the other party.
"What is that thing!" He got up angrily, looking at Vladimir very unhappily.
"Come back, Baber." At this time, Lance stopped his subordinate, and said in a deep voice, "Friend, who exactly are you?"
After a pause, he added, "If my eyes aren't deceiving me, in that instant just now, you used a defensive ability, and this ability, people in half the world saw seven days ago, that's... Holy Light!"
"Holy Light!?"
Around Lance, ten pirates were all shocked, and then all glared at Vladimir.
"What does that day's miracle have to do with you?"
Hearing this, Vladimir couldn't help but chuckle, and stretched out his right hand, the power of the holy light manifesting in his palm.
"What do you think? I have to be surprised by your eyesight. In just an instant, 0.3 seconds, you were able to see a trace. As expected of a 1 billion bounty pirate."
"Who exactly are you?"
Lance was deeply wary, and full of hostility, and around him, a group of pirates also revealed their weapons.
As if facing a formidable enemy!
"Don't be nervous, being so wary is meaningless."
Vladimir shook his head.
Seeing this, the strong man carrying the hammer quickly got up, retreated more than ten steps, and created a safe distance.
Vladimir glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "I said, it's meaningless. You think, this little distance..."
Halfway through his words, Vladimir suddenly moved.
The strong man named Baber was stunned. In the next moment, he felt his right shoulder being pressed down, and at the same time, he heard that person's voice in his ear.
"You see... a mere few dozen meters is enough for me to kill you 10 times."
"Impossible!"
Baber was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his entire person scrambled away, suddenly moving more than ten meters away from Vladimir. His expression was horrified, and he was shocked beyond words.
"How is this possible! What is this speed, the explosive force in that instant, it's faster than my visual nerves, even faster than my Observation Haki!?"
It was hard to imagine.
Including Lance, all the pirates were stunned.
...
Baber was terrified, and almost suspected that there was something wrong with his eyes.
In that instant just now, he hadn't relaxed at all, and his nerves had been tense all the time, but he simply hadn't seen it.
The other party's speed was too fast, and the explosive force in that instant was faster than his visual nerves, and even faster than his Observation Haki.
By the time he realized that something was wrong, the person had already appeared by his side, and had even patted his shoulder.
"If this guy had attacked just now... I would have been dead!"
Thinking of this, Baber was immediately drenched in cold sweat, feeling as if he had walked through the gates of life and death.
"You... who exactly are you? What do you want to do here?" He tried to calm down, but his heart was still beating violently, and his tone inevitably revealed a few traces of nervousness.
Hearing this, Vladimir's expression was calm, and he chuckled, "I said, there's no need to be so wary. If I wanted to kill you, your defenses would be meaningless."
It wasn't that he was too kind, or that he wasn't angry that the other party had attacked him, but that the time to close the net hadn't arrived yet. Killing an ordinary pirate didn't matter, but the Lance Pirates only had a few people. If they were killed, it might alert the enemy.
"What do you want?" After a moment of silence, Lance asked from a distance.
In comparison, he was still calm.
"Nothing, I'm just curious, what are you doing here?" Vladimir glanced at the pitted ice layer, and chuckled, "If you want to destroy this, it's more reliable to use high temperatures to melt it."
In response, Lance narrowed his eyes, and said, "You seem to recognize this ice?"
After a pause, he gave his subordinates a look, "Since you're interested, then I'll leave this place to you. Let's go!"
After speaking, he took the lead, bypassing Vladimir's location, and led a group of subordinates to retreat.
Baber glared at Vladimir in fear, and finally quickly approached, grabbed his iron hammer, and quickly followed.
"I didn't want the territory..."
Vladimir opened his mouth, but ultimately swallowed the words back, and shook his head speechlessly, "This guy is so cautious. To put it nicely, he won't rashly make enemies with unknown enemies. To put it bluntly, he's so cowardly."
He didn't care much about this, but he had achieved his goal.
