Chapter 159: Competing in Strength? Time to Fly!
At the same time, in the House of Toys.
Vivian, using his Armament Haki-enhanced Thunder Breathing sword technique, swiftly took down Dellinger without needing Momousagi or Fujitora to intervene.
As for Machvise and Lao G, Vivian exhaled deeply and was about to draw his sword when Momousagi stopped him.
"I'll handle the old man with the strange martial arts."
She glanced at Gordon, who was frantically taking photos in the background, and then drew her sword, Konpira, in a stylish manner.
"His aura is strong, at least at the level of a Vice Admiral…"
With that, Lao G shouted, "Ultimate Secret Technique of the G Fist: Battle Preservation Fist!"
In an instant, the frail old man transformed into a tall, muscular youth. Despite his wrinkled face, the transformation left Momousagi wide-eyed in shock.
"What kind of Devil Fruit ability is this?"
"It's not a Devil Fruit. It's a Qi technique he developed," Vivian explained. "He stores his youthful strength within himself and releases it during battle, allowing his body to return to its peak condition."
"Such an ability exists?" Momousagi and Gordon were astonished.
The next moment, Lao G unleashed a powerful energy wave, "G Stamp!"
Just like two years ago, the massive energy wave shot forward, sending many Marines flying into the air. Vivian and Fujitora quickly moved to the side, avoiding the blast and focusing on Momousagi.
Clang!
Her blade unsheathed, and a deep red flying slash erupted from it, dispersing the G Stamp and continuing forward, carving a deep trench in the ground.
Though not as deep as the flying slashes Vivian had seen from Mihawk during the Summit War, it was clear that Momousagi's strength was at least at the level of a Vice Admiral.
"I wonder if she's qualified to be an Admiral," Vivian mused.
Seeing Lao G spewing blood and being sent flying by the slash, Vivian was about to light a cigar and watch the show when Machvise, unable to hold back, suddenly punched towards Vivian's face.
Boom!
A loud crash.
The powerful force softened the ground beneath Vivian's feet.
Vivian instinctively blocked the punch with his Armament Haki-coated arm, feeling Machvise's strength continuously increasing.
"So this is the Ton-Ton Fruit?"
A greater version of the Kilo-Kilo Fruit.
While Fujitora could apply gravity on a large scale, pressing everyone into the ground, Machvise's ability only increased his own weight to attack enemies.
"Ton-Ton: Thousand Ton Destruction!"
Machvise suddenly lightened his weight, floating like paper into the air. As Vivian looked up, he saw Machvise plummeting down.
Boom!
Vivian's figure vanished from the spot, using Observation Haki to predict Machvise's next move and Soru to dodge swiftly. He turned to see the crater Machvise had created with his body, then lit his cigar and remarked:
"Wow, what a terrifying ability. If I got hit, I'd be turned into minced meat."
As he spoke, Machvise floated back into the air, eyes locked on Vivian with a vicious expression, "Die, Marine!"
"Ton-Ton: Hell's Ten Thousand Tons Vice!"
"Ten thousand tons this time?"
Seeing Machvise plummeting down again and feeling the gusts of wind from above, Vivian exhaled a smoke ring and then, under the watchful eyes of Fujitora and Gordon, sheathed his Blood Demon sword.
He extended his right arm, coating it with Armament Haki. Not only did the muscles on his arm bulge, but the veins on his forehead also popped out.
"Iron Fist!"
Bang!
His fist collided fiercely with Machvise's falling body, and the deafening explosion echoed around, causing all the fighting marines and pirates to crouch down and cover their ears.
"Haha… Ten thousand tons of force, and you think you can catch it with your hand? Prepare to be crushed… huh?"
Before Machvise could finish his sentence, he saw Vivian's confident smile.
The next second.
"Take off, fatso!"
With a roar, Machvise felt the force of Vivian's punch suddenly multiply. Panic spread across his face, and before he could say anything, his massive body was sent flying into the air by Vivian's punch, piercing through the ceiling and disappearing from sight.
Everyone watching was stunned.
What kind of power is that?
He punched someone into the sky and even broke through the ceiling?
This physical strength is terrifying…
No wonder he's the Navy's Thunder Swordsman.
The marine officer thought.
In contrast, the pirates of the Donquixote family, who knew Machvise's abilities, were shocked and instinctively retreated.
"That guy… must be a monster, right?"
"He punched Lord Machvise, who weighs over ten thousand tons, into the sky…"
"Is this really something a human can do?"
Gulping sounds echoed around.
Seeing this, Vivian shook his slightly sore arm and then casually flicked the ash from his cigarette.
Ha, what a joke. The attributes I've accumulated over the past four years can't be easily challenged by a mere subordinate of the Shichibukai.
Turning, he glanced at Momousagi, who was also suppressing Lao G with a fierce attack, and said to Fujitora, "Uncle Issho, I'm going into the executive tower to turn these toys back into humans. You stay here and hold off Doflamingo for me."
Given the current timing, Doflamingo should have noticed something and is likely heading to the underworld.
"No problem."
Fujitora placed his hand on his cane-sword and nodded with a smile.
