Chapter 964 Strict Father
...
"Crack!"
As the smoke and dust cleared, the high platform in the center of the main hall had been reduced to ruins, with the remaining black and red lightning still crackling in the air.
"Bang!"
After performing several front flips, Ge Er landed steadily, then slammed the Azure Dragon Blade heavily on the ground and took out his notebook to record the events.
"Hearing the name of my move, she didn't immediately protect her buttocks. It seems we can rule out the possibility that this little girl is a time traveler. Hehehe."
“Swish swish!!”
A dozen black tentacles sprouted like seeds, violently breaking through the rubble and bricks pressing down on their heads, their sharp ends shooting towards Geer from all directions like arrows!
"Damn it, they actually launched a sneak attack! That's so unsportsmanlike!"
Ger couldn't help but curse, as if he had no recollection of his previous actions. Im was clearly taken aback by what he heard, but the arrow continued its movements without stopping.
"Damn ants, get out of here...!"
"Sigh, what's with the 'mmm'? Can't we just have a normal conversation? If you have to keep pretending like this, then... I have something to say."
Joking aside, out of respect for the "unknown," Geer dared not be careless in the slightest. Faced with the tentacle attack, he immediately raised his hand to create a barrier to save his life.
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”
The sharp tentacles struck the barrier with a crisp sound, and shockwaves rippled across the barrier's surface.
To be on the safe side, Ger didn't stand foolishly behind the barrier. When he reappeared, he was already hundreds of meters away, keeping a considerable distance from the enemy!
"Hoo~!"
Seeing that the barrier had successfully withstood Im's attack, Gel secretly breathed a sigh of relief and instantly felt more confident.
"Thank goodness, at least the attack methods are still within the rules, and there aren't any overpowered mechanisms."
Geer quickly buried himself in his notebook and continued taking notes.
"How dare you ignore me!"
"Zizzizi..."
Im transformed into a black monster wearing a crown, looking somewhat similar to Moria's Shadow Mage. His body, which had been split in two, had been reassembled. He slowly emerged from the ruins, exuding an eerie aura.
"No, no, no, you've misunderstood. I'm not ignoring you at all; I'm clearly showing you some rare attention!"
In fact, Ger dared to take the initiative to cause trouble for Im not on a whim, but after careful consideration. The main reason was that Im's record in Mary Geoise was far worse than her record outside the Holy Land.
The thought that even with all six members of the Five Elders of Imgar present, Sabo managed to escape Mary Geoise with a few words and a heavily injured Cobra, made Gale realize that he, with his maxed-out defense and escape skills, was not afraid at all.
The live broadcast from the Den Den Mushi inside the main hall had been interrupted. If you can't win, just run away. No one will see it anyway. The media are all your own; you can make up whatever you want. He managed to take on the world's behind-the-scenes big boss and escape unscathed. That's a feat he can brag about for a long time.
"Cough cough!"
Gel cleared his throat.
"So your name is Im, huh? You think you can hurt me, the captain, with an attack of this level? How laughable! I am the toughest man in the world! Go all out! You've come all this way, at least let me have my fill!"
Ger arrogantly shouted provocations.
However, his left hand, which was merely holding the air, was already prepared. If the opponent dared to use any dangerous ability he had never seen before, he would immediately open the door and yo-yo.
"Insanity!"
Im was about to make another move when Ger raised his hand to interrupt him.
"and many more!"
"Ahem... I'm not trying to be mean, but you're supposed to be a big shot with some influence. Can't you at least have a little more class? Don't start by shouting for violence. Shouldn't you introduce yourself first when we meet?"
"Actually, I'm quite interested in you. Here, I'll give you five minutes. You can start by introducing yourself in detail, the more detailed the better. Ideally, include what you're good at and what abilities you possess!"
Ger was spouting nonsense with a straight face.
"?"
Im fell silent.
"Huh? Why don't you speak?"
Ger didn't let the conversation die down; he started taking notes in his notebook.
"Introverted and difficult to get along with."
"Whoosh whoosh!"
Suddenly, dozens of tentacles shot out from behind Im's back, and these tentacles, as if they were alive, stabbed toward Ger at an astonishing speed!
"Haha, just kidding, why are you getting so worked up?"
Geer began to move around, using his left hand to manipulate the barrier as a shield to block arrows coming from all directions, while his right hand swung the Azure Dragon Blade to cut off all the tentacles!
"I already told you, this level of attack has absolutely no effect on this captain!"
"Whoosh whoosh!"
“Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!”
The severed tentacles immediately grew new arrowheads, and new tentacles kept sprouting from behind Im.
Geer was forced to increase the frequency of his sword swings! The Azure Dragon Blade had become a blur of afterimages, but the black arrows attacking like venomous snakes were increasing in number.
"Secret Technique! Mist Overlord's Wild Slash!"
Im's lips curled up slightly, revealing a contemptuous smile, his eyes filled with disdain and disdain.
"Heh! A useless attack? I think not!"
With a whoosh, a powerful energy gathered on Im's body, and then countless black tentacles suddenly emerged from behind Him, so numerous that they almost submerged the entire palace!
"Damn it! You're coming again!"
Ger struggled to swing his knife, his hand almost smoking from the effort.
"A futile struggle. I'd like to see how long you can hold out!"
Im looked amused, seemingly enjoying this "cat and mouse" game.
"Pfft! Pfft!"
The first one, then the second one, the third one…
"Ahhhh!"
Ger looked up and let out a piercing scream.
Countless black tentacles pierced his body like a barrage of arrows, instantly turning him into a sea urchin!
"Hehehe, overestimating yourself. Mortals can never defeat gods!"
Im retracted his extra tentacles and said with a smile.
"Aren't the people fighting the Five Elders and the Knights of God outside your accomplices?"
"Damn it! What... what do you think you're doing? I will never let you hurt my comrades!"
Ger shouted angrily.
"Hehe, no, I won't do anything. You will kill them all by your own hands in my place!"
"What a joke! I would never do something so stupid!"
"Is that so? Unfortunately, it's no longer up to you."
Im manipulated the tentacles that pierced through Gell's body to activate his abilities.
"Black to Domination!!"
...
"Ok?"
Time ticked by, and Im looked at Captain Gel, who remained unchanged, with a puzzled expression.
"Hey hey hey!"
A smile crept onto Ger's lips, and then his ethereal body emerged from a cluster of tentacles as if through a hole in the ground.
"Hahaha! I felt sorry for you, having stayed home all the time for hundreds of years, so I was just teasing you. I'm really sorry you took it seriously."
Ger scratched the back of his head and said in a cheeky tone.
"As I've said before, this kind of attack has no effect on me."
"Why do you possess so many Devil Fruit abilities at the same time? Who exactly are you?"
The disdain on Im's face finally disappeared.
"See? That's why I said it's necessary to introduce yourself. Never mind, let me set an example for you first."
Geer put away his smile and said seriously.
"My name is Ger! I'm the strictest father to all of you villains!"
