The energy aftermath from the blade instantly shattered the surrounding ruins and dead trees. As soon as Vivian landed on the ground, Zero immediately put away the smile on his face and began to examine the other person from head to toe.
"Logget Larven?"
Looking at this outfit that is so familiar to everyone in the world, Ling first called out such a name, but then immediately said: "Or... should I call you Alfred Vivian?"
silence.
The air suddenly became quiet.
After about ten seconds, Vivian asked, "When did you know my identity?"
Was it when you were investigating the murder of Chatun with me
Or...did you know it from the beginning
Vivian was puzzled.
Then Zero answered, "It's a shame. The CP0 intelligence system, which has been established for hundreds of years, only recently investigated and confirmed that the Thunder Swordsman and the Sharpshooter are the same person."
When he went out to investigate a case with Vivian, he actually didn't realize that Vivian was Larven until the end. It was not until later, not long after Impel Down was destroyed a few days ago, that Zero learned of Vivian's true identity from his men.
How did you investigate it
Naturally, just like the Revolutionary Army placed an undercover agent in the Navy, the World Government also arranged a spy who had been lurking in the Revolutionary Army for a long time.
Ultimately, this is all thanks to Cotto, the "big leak".
Because Monkey D. Dragon and Sabo have always been very tight-lipped, the undercover lurking in the Revolutionary Army naturally could not learn any information about Vivian from these two people.
But Cotto is different.
This guy has always been straightforward, which could be seen from the first day he met Vivian in Rogue Town. And because of this, this guy can't keep any secrets in his heart.
It was because of this that the World Government spy who had a good relationship with Cotto got Cotto drunk one night and extracted all the information about Vivian's identity from him.
"Then...why didn't the government take any coercive measures against me?" Vivian asked puzzledly.
A few days ago...didn't he stay in Pangu City in the holy land
Logically speaking, if Yinm knew that he was Larven, given that guy's decisive and murderous character, he should not sit idly by and watch him, right
Could it be
Thinking of a possibility, Vivian's expression when looking at Zero suddenly became a little strange.
"Don't look at me like that. I just want to experience what it's like to be the 'king of the world' for once."
In his eyes, the Celestial Dragons naturally represent the supreme power.
Among them, Yinm, as the leader of the Celestial Dragons, deserves the title of "King of the World".
Just like most pirates who want to become the so-called Pirate King, Zero, who has lived for hundreds of years, does have the idea of ruling the world.
Throughout his life, including his childhood, there was not a single moment that he did not spend serving the Celestial Dragons.
To serve the Celestial Dragons, one naturally has to endure their extremely strange temper. The reason why his body was originally transformed was because something went wrong when he was doing things, and the Celestial Dragons broke one of his arms and used him as an experimental subject for a transformation operation.
From then on, his body gradually transformed into its current complete form bit by bit in the hands of those old men.
Although he turned a disaster into a blessing and became able to live forever like Yin Mu, but if you think about it carefully, to be driven around by these damned celestial dragons endlessly, isn't that no different from being in hell
But despite this..
His strength has been greatly improved after the transformation. After becoming the leader of the CP0 organization, he is rarely troubled by the Celestial Dragons.
But this does not mean that he can forgive these guys in his heart.
The seeds of wanting to seize power and seize the throne had been growing in his heart all along, until now, when he finally found a time that he believed was extremely suitable.
He knew very well how amazing Vivian's strength was.
He also knew very well what choice someone like Vivian, who believed he was absolutely righteous, would make in this battle between civilians and the Celestial Dragons.
So, he chose to assassinate the spy hidden in the revolutionary army.
This is why Vivian was not held accountable by Yin Mu.
"Become the king of the world? I never thought that the dog that Yin Mu had raised for so many years would choose to betray its master one day."
Vivian said directly without any hesitation.
"Oh.."
However, after he finished speaking, Ling did not get furious as he had imagined. Instead, he chuckled, then stepped back a few steps and said to Vivian, "I will not fight with a guy of your level until those Tianlong people and Yinmu are defeated."
Vivian: “…”
After saying that, the energy light bullet in his palm condensed out again and shot straight to the ground. Then, at the moment the light bullet was shot out, he turned around and left the place directly.
boom!
A violent explosion sounded again.
Without any intention of pursuing Zero, Vivian blocked the light bullet as quickly as possible.
Feeling the residual power of the light bullet after it shattered, Vivian couldn't help but frown and muttered to himself: "Is this power... the same as the light beam that penetrated Jinbei's body?"
I started thinking again in my mind.
And at the same time.
“Cough cough cough…”
For some unknown reason, Mori and Couto, who were present, both fell to the ground with extremely painful expressions at the same time, and then quickly began to vomit.
Vivian:
"What's wrong with you?"
He rushed forward and helped Cotto up from the ground. He glanced at his exposed skin which had turned slightly red. He was about to ask a few more questions, but Vivian himself suddenly felt unwell.
"This is.."
radiation
These two words suddenly popped up in my mind.
Feeling a little dizzy, Vivian immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and began to meditate.
After a moment.
“Huh~~”
Vivian heaved a sigh of relief and stood up safely from the ground. However, at the same time, Cotto and Mori, who were splashed by the light ball, had red skin and began to ooze more or less blood.
Go forward and release Star Infusion to heal.
Five minutes later, although the external injuries on their skin had healed completely, Cotto and Mori were still lying on the ground powerlessly, as if they were handcuffed with seastone shackles, their faces pale without a trace of blood.
Seeing this, after hesitating for a long time, Vivian had no choice but to pick up the two of them and ran towards the shore as fast as possible.
