Chapter 602 Meeting the Future
Although Vic didn't open his eyes, his observation Haki had already sensed that Ralph had awakened and transformed directly into a human-beast form. The three of them had never used their fruit abilities before.
In addition, since Renka never used his fruit ability until his death, he thought that the members of the Knights of God should be people like Roger, Rayleigh, and the old man who disdain to eat devil fruits.
He was very surprised by Ralph's change now, but before he could exclaim, his Observation Haki gave a crazy warning. The Ralph in front of him had disappeared. His Observation Haki only saw Ralph in human-beast form turning into a residual shadow rushing towards him, with a sharp claw grabbing his chest.
Fast! Too fast! So fast that even with his Observation Haki, he could only see a shadow. Then, Vic felt a sharp pain in his chest, and then he heard a ripping sound of muscle tearing in his ears.
Vic flew out in the blood gushing out of his chest. A large piece of muscle on his left chest had disappeared, revealing a few white ribs inside. A beating heart could be vaguely seen under the ribs!
Vic almost had his heart taken away by the blow. Fortunately, he moved his body when he sensed something was wrong, otherwise he would have been in great danger. However, Vic was not feeling well now. Blood was oozing from his chest and his heart was almost exposed. His body, which was already at its limit, was even worse.
Vic was not very clear that the final prize of the hunting competition for the Knights of God was the Devil Fruit. Although Big Bear had some memories of the Valley of God in his memory, at that time Big Bear had no idea of the identity of the Knights of God, nor did he know that those Devil Fruits were their prizes.
So Vic didn't know about these things. Some members of the Knights gave the devil fruits to their slaves, while some ate them themselves. So there are also powerful people in the Knights of God.
Ralph is one of those people who have special abilities. The devil fruit he eats is the Animal-type Cat-Cat Fruit, Ancient Species, Dark, Lightning Cat Form. This is an ancient cat species that is extremely good at speed, hiding, stealth, and hunting. It likes to eat the hearts of its prey. Even the dinosaurs and saber-toothed tigers of the same period were afraid of it.
This ability is very consistent with Ralph's development path, so after getting the devil fruit, he chose to eat it himself. With Ralph's development and current strength, his speed relying solely on his body is also ridiculously fast. Vic, who does not use the ability of the fruit and is in his current physical condition, can't dodge at all. Ralph seriously injured him with just one move.
Vic resisted the urge to open his eyes to look at the wound on his chest. His eyelids were trembling slightly, and he felt pain from the wounds all over his body. Physical fatigue continued to take over. Vic's consciousness became hazy, and at this moment he unexpectedly recalled every detail of his two lives.
Vic knew that this was not going to work. He would definitely die here if he continued like this. The revolving lantern would only appear before death! Now it appeared. What did it mean? He forced himself to suppress all the memories, tightened the two knives in his hands, took a deep breath and maintained a posture of both!
"It looks like he still has some strength left to resist. Let's go together and kill him."
Ralph was very dissatisfied when he saw that One Claw failed to take out Vic's heart. If Vic had not dodged for a moment, they would have been able to finish their work and return to the holy land. So he directly called the other two to attack together, which would be absolutely foolproof.
Abra and Burns didn't say anything, they teleported directly towards Vic, the two of them blocked Vic's two escape routes on the left and right. Abra's attack was a killing move, he stabbed at Vic's beating heart under his ribs with a knife, and Burns didn't give in and punched Vic in the head, which was also a fatal move.
Vic swung his knife to deflect Abra's knife, and stabbed Burns under the armpit with the other knife. Burns stopped the attack and kicked the stabbing long knife. Abra retracted the long knife and turned his body on the spot, making a punch, and then drove the long knife to chop towards Vic's neck.
Vic also turned around on the spot, and used the knife that was stabbing at Burns to block Abra's knife that was slashing at his neck, and then stabbed Burns' thigh with the other knife.
Burns jumped up slightly and spread his legs to avoid Vic's stab, then he clamped his legs together in an instant, clamping Vic's long knife between his legs, and then released the armed color to harden the knife under his crotch and his entire body into a whole, directly locking Vic's knife, and then stretched out his hands to grab Vic's knife hand.
On the other side, Abra began to attack Vic frantically with his knife, and Vic had to use the remaining knife to defend himself.
Poof! However, after a few moves, Vic stopped moving, and Allen in his hand slipped from his palm and fell into the sea below. Vic opened his eyes with a pale face and slowly lowered his head to look at his chest.
A bloody black-haired claw stretched out from the chest that had been free of flesh and blood, and in the claw was a bright red heart that was still beating slightly.
Ralph, who was standing behind Vic, finally revealed a cruel and complacent smile on his face. He did not immediately withdraw his hand that pierced Vic's chest, as if he wanted the victim to see with his own eyes his still beating heart.
This was the most deadly attack launched by Ralph when Vic was entangled. When Vic saw the heart, he seemed to realize something. A bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth and he slowly closed his eyes!
When Vic opened his eyes again, he saw Abra and Burns attacking him from the left and right, while the beast-like Ralph was standing behind them, as if quietly waiting for something.
The movements, expressions, and positions of the three people were exactly the same as the scene he had experienced before. Vic's eyes lit up with a brighter light, and then returned to his calm state!
"I see!"
Vic directly put the two swords in his hands back into the scabbards at his waist and waited quietly for the arrival of the two. Although Abra and Burns were a little puzzled by Vic's actions, this could not stop them.
The two men soon came not far from Vic, and just as Vic saw the scene, Abrati stabbed the knife at his unobstructed heart, but Vic dodged the knife by slightly turning sideways.
Ralph's body continued to move forward by inertia, and the knife in his hand passed just an inch from Vic's chest, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if Vic's response was beyond his expectations.
Vic's left hand grabbed Abra's knife-holding wrist and swung it slightly. Abra's arm involuntarily swung the knife in the other direction, just in time to block Burns' punch at Vic's head.
When Vic held Abra's wrist with his left hand, he stretched out his right hand almost at the same time, and slapped him in the face with the back of his hand in front of Abra's incredible eyes. With a "pop" sound, Vic's left foot, which had been raised long ago, kicked Burns in the lower abdomen.
