Chapter 312 Another Gamble
"Brother! This is the most sacred place in Bika. We don't accept worship. Go back!"
Ulki said with a smile, but there was a hint of sweat on his forehead. He had already noticed Vic, whose temperament was very different from that of the people of Sky Island.
He has three knives on his waist, bright eyes, steady steps, and a hidden aura that is somewhat intimidating. Ordinary people cannot see this aura, but Urouge is not an ordinary person. He is a devil fruit user, and his ability is particularly sensitive to these illusory things. This is why Urouge has a high status in the temple.
"Pray? Visit is more like a visit! Who is worthy of my worship? Do you think you can stop me?"
Vic released more momentum, forcing Ulqui to take two steps back, his face filled with disbelief.
Vic is a disrespectful person. No one is worthy of his worship, not even Im. This is a quality in his bones!
Ulki's behavior makes Vic think that the Thunder Fruit is in the temple. He said that it is protecting the inheritance of Sky Island. Shouldn't the inheritance be known to more people? This way it won't be lost!
However, the behavior of the abbot of this temple was too abnormal. Vic felt that he was guarding the official text of history, which was not suitable for many people to know.
But there is too little connection between the sky island and the sea below, so there is no need to be so cautious. It can only be something like power, which is single and has a lot to do with the owner's mentality, so one can only be careful.
If it was obtained by someone with bad intentions, it would be a disaster. Just as Vic guessed, for some reason, Enel awakened his Observation Haki, also known as the Heart Net in Sky Island. He then used his Observation Haki to sneak into the temple and obtained the Thunder Fruit. In the end, Pica was destroyed by him.
"We can't stop you! It's our incompetence as the abbot. We will try our best to stop you, but I hope we don't have to go this far!"
The smile was gone from Ulki's face, which was now filled with solemnity. Vic's sense of oppression was too strong. If they really took action, he did not think the monks in the temple would be able to stop them. There would surely be heavy casualties, simply because their beliefs could not be trampled upon and the temple could not be offended!
"I just want to go in and take a look. You don't need to get so excited. I don't want to fight with you. I'll give you three moves. If you can let me move one step within three moves, I will turn around and leave without bothering you.
But if I don't move, you must let me in to take a look. Of course, you can continue to stop me. At that time, I will not stop!"
Vic really didn't want to force his way in, but it was different with the bet. He could accept it more in his heart. He didn't expect that the Thunder Fruit might appear in this special place in Bika. It was really that the plan could not keep up with the changes.
"This..., I can't make the decision, I have to go back and discuss it with them!"
After hearing what Vic said, Ulki knew that this man had made up his mind to go in and take a look, and if he didn't accept the challenge, he would use force.
He was more inclined to Vic's bet. If he couldn't defeat Vic with three moves, then there was no need to talk about it anymore. The same result would occur if everyone attacked together. However, he still had to discuss it with the monks to prevent those people from going up and fighting without knowing whether they would live or die.
Vic didn't answer, but just nodded and sat cross-legged on the spot. Ulki turned around and walked towards the largest building in the middle of the temple. Based on his intuition, he believed that Vic was a trustworthy man and would not enter the temple while Ulki was away.
Not long after, Ulki came towards Vic with a group of angry monks, carrying a huge black pencil.
Those people knew about Vic's arrogance, but they also heard from Ulqui that Vic was very powerful, so they were told not to provoke Vic with words, otherwise they might not even be able to win the bet.
So now they can only be angry but not speak. If looks could kill, Vic's domineering aura could not stop those gazes that wanted to tear him apart.
"Stop talking nonsense and come on!"
Vic stood up and walked in front of Ulqui. Although there was a big difference in height between the two, no one dared to underestimate Vic. His imposing aura was undisguised. Vic's figure seemed even taller, as if there was a huge invisible figure looming over Vic.
"Everyone, move aside and be careful not to get hurt by the aftermath!"
Ulki asked the monks to move aside, leaving room for the two to perform, and the lively scene here also attracted many residents of Bika. This place is where the island cloud and the land where the temple is located meet, and the residents can move freely as long as they do not enter the temple. With so many monks gathered here, it is definitely lively to watch.
Ulki took off the big black pencil from behind him, held it with both hands, and spun it towards Vic's head.
This is his pure physical strength, without the support of the fruit ability, so it can be considered a test.
When ordinary residents of Bika came over and saw the monks of the temple about to beat up a handsome man, they were a little confused. What kind of sin had he committed? Did he need such a punishment? Was he killing a chicken to scare the monkeys? Was he doing it for them to see?
The monks all looked at Ulki nervously, ignoring the strange looks from the residents. They only cared about whether this man could withstand Ulki's powerful blow. This was the most important thing and was closely related to their beliefs.
"Armed color hardening"
Vic opened his mouth and spoke softly. At the moment when the iron rod hit his cheek, Vic's whole head turned black for a moment, but it immediately recovered. This was the perfect combination of Observation Haki and Armament Haki. No one could see this instantaneous change.
"boom"
Ulki felt like his iron rod had hit an iron mountain. His knuckles were almost cracked from the shock, and a dent appeared on his iron pencil that matched the shape of Vic's face. This showed how powerful Ulki was.
Shocked, Ulki looked at Vic with a calm face and was a little dazed. There was not even a red mark where Vic was hit, let alone a broken skull.
At that moment just now, the residents of Bika were so scared that they closed their eyes. You know, the iron rod in Ulki's hand was solid and weighed more than ten tons!
Not to mention hitting a human, even an ancient dinosaur would be beaten to pieces. They were afraid that Vic's blood and flesh would splatter on themselves.
There was a loud noise at the scene, followed by silence. When they mustered up the courage to open their eyes, they found that nothing had happened. Only the monks had stunned expressions. The residents were all guessing what the loud noise was.
Ignoring his trembling hands, Ulki rolled his eyes downward, his gaze gradually moving to Vic's feet. He wanted to see if there were any signs of movement there.
But the result disappointed him. There was nothing there, and Vic's posture did not change at all, which made Ulki even more shocked.
He knew exactly how strong he was, but he didn't even leave a red mark on the other person's face. This mysterious young man was too scary. That was not a human body! He would believe it if they said it was made of iron.
The Sky Islander didn't know what Armament Haki was. He didn't know that Vic thought highly of him. After all, he was a future supernova. In fact, a block of iron was enough to defend against this attack, but Vic chose Armament Haki.
"Come again!"
Vic spoke softly, breaking the silence, and the scene just now broke apart like a still picture.
