Vir’s sudden shout startled Chopper, but the cry that was already rising in his throat wasn’t sothing that could be held back so easily.
Yet, by the ti it escaped his lips, it had changed.
"Awoo-hey-hey, uuuwaaahhhh!"
He was still crying—tears were streaming down like crazy—but it didn’t quite feel like crying, because the sound was all wrong.
Chopper’s glitchy reaction was perfectly tid.
Vir’s mouth twitched, but he didn’t say anything more.
He knew that during the ti he’d been presud dead, this kid must have had a really hard ti.
Now, seeing Vir standing there without a scratch—not even a tear in his clothes—everyone’s eyes were practically popping out of their heads.
That attack from Imu just monts ago—they’d felt its intensity even from this distance.
And now you’re telling them Vir, who was at the epicenter, ca out unscathed?
That’s completely unreasonable!
By all logic, even three of him stacked together shouldn’t have been able to withstand that blow.
Just how did this guy pull it off?
But despite their shock, they were genuinely thrilled to see Vir alive. It felt like they might not have to die after all. This guy really was capable of creating miracles.
But while they were overjoyed, soone else was far from pleased.
Imu was not doing great.
That last attack was absolutely one of her strongest moves—more than enough to take out soone like Vir in an instant.
Yet here he was, standing perfectly intact. The implication was clear as day.
Her ultimate move had missed!
Imu didn’t even consider the possibility that Vir had revived sohow.
Because once a soul is gone, resurrection is impossible—that’s common sense.
So, either Vir tanked it without a scratch, or he sohow managed to escape the blast radius under those conditions.
Either way, it ant the guy standing before her was unfathomably strong.
Thanks to Kuma’s [Buccaneer Bloodline Power], Vir’s constitution was already a cut above Imu’s. Now, with this unknown ability on top of that, Imu’s expression grew increasingly grim.
She never could’ve imagined that just a few hours ago, this guy who’d been completely under her thumb had transford into soone capable of threatening her life.
The sheer contrast made Imu’s gaze toward Vir even heavier.
Under imnse pressure, Imu quickly made another decision.
Her aura shifted, and her entire being seed to transform into a sharpened sword. A piercing aura erupted from her, slicing through the surrounding air.
The atmosphere was torn apart, leaving cracks in its wake, and even space itself seed to wail in agony.
Thanks to the black shield Vir had raised, the group was spared from the onslaught.
But they could still tell—Imu’s next attack was not going to be simple. Their worried glances toward Vir grew heavier.
Imu, the King of the World, lived up to her title. Her trump cards were endless. Could Vir really hold up against her?
Vir could see that Imu was charging up for sothing big.
But he had no way to stop her.
The razor-sharp aura surrounding her was so intense that he had no ans of breaking through.
He couldn’t block it.
In that mont, even Vir had to admit—the King of the World’s arsenal was sothing else.
This was definitely so kind of high-cost technique.
But Imu’s choice was a smart one. After all, Vir’s physical resilience was a full fifth stronger than hers.
That was a gap she could never bridge.
In a straight-up 1v1 fight, no matter how hard she tried, she’d never be his match.
Using a forbidden technique like this to take him out in one shot was her best bet.
That was Imu’s thinking. She knew full well she was no longer Vir’s equal. This was her only shot at victory.
She didn’t know how Vir had escaped her last attack.
But this ti was different. After charging up, she’d burn through a ton of stamina and vitality to transform herself into the sharpest sword in the world.
At a speed unimaginable to most, she’d strike her locked-on target.
She was certain that even spatial movent couldn’t outpace her.
This ti, Vir had no room to dodge!
And if she landed the hit, it was certain death!
Imu’s eyes glead, her pupils shrinking until they were the size of needle points.
Her body gradually took the form of a massive sword.
Its tip was aid straight at Vir!
Vir knew he couldn’t wait any longer. The mont the giant sword launched, he vanished from his spot.
But the sword let out what sounded like a mocking scoff.
In an instant, it shot toward where Vir would land.
Back on the Red Line, Vir barely had ti to turn around before the giant sword pierced straight through him.
It entered through his back and exited through his chest.
At the sa ti, his entire body felt as though it had been stabbed by a thousand swords, wracked with excruciating pain.
His head, in particular, was overwheld by a tearing agony, as if it were about to explode.
No!
It was already about to explode!
Reverting to her human form and downing a potion, Imu calmly watched Vir.
Because she knew.
The fireworks were about to go off...
In that mont, the entire world fell silent, as if ti itself had frozen.
*Crack—*
*Snap!!!*
A crisp shattering sound echoed clearly in everyone’s minds.
Even Chopper and the others, far off in the distance, heard it loud and clear.
It sounded like... the shattering of glass.
Glass?
Shouldn’t it have been his head?
Imu’s brow furrowed, her expression darkening.
Because standing before her, where Vir should’ve been blown to pieces, he was still perfectly intact.
Aside from being drenched in blood, there wasn’t the slightest sign of death.
The blood pooling around him made the red ground even more vivid, showing just how much he’d bled.
But not dead was not dead.
"That’s it?"
At the sa ti, Vir’s arrogant, mocking voice quietly rang out.
But Imu wasn’t fazed. She could tell—Vir was at his limit.
He was barely hanging on by a thread.
One little push, and he’d be done for!
That’s right.
That crisp shattering sound was the trigger of a fad blade.
Right now, Vir was indeed so fragile that a single touch could finish him.
But as Imu charged toward him with her sword drawn, Vir didn’t flinch.
He casually grabbed a vial of dicine.
Even through the glass, you could feel the intense vitality radiating from the green liquid inside!
This!
This was absolutely a miracle drug!
Vir’s expression remained calm as his right hand clenched tightly.
What a joke.
On the brink of death? Hanging by a thread?
That was his specialty!
*Crack!*
The vial shattered, and the green liquid splashed out.
The mont it touched his skin, it vanished.
And Vir’s aura, which had been on the brink of death, began to skyrocket instantly!
