I Became the Strongest Villain in One Piece

Chapter 240: SVOP: Chapter 240

”Side effects?” Vladimir thought to himself. ”The beastman form greatly increases his combat strength, but at the same time, his sanity also diminishes. It seems the abilities of ancient Zoans are also quite dangerous.”

Thinking this way, Vladimir didn’t dodge or evade, instead throwing a punch forward.

”Holy Light Divine Fist!”

Boom!

The two fists collided, causing ripples to ripple through the space.

The shockwave spread out fiercely, sweeping in all directions. At the same time, Paruk let out a cracking sound—his right arm’s finger bones shattered, and he was sent flying backward.

”Captain, you go first!”

Forced back, Paruk grabbed Kedaruk with his left hand and suddenly threw him forward.

Whoosh!

Kedaruk transformed into a streak of light, surprisingly surpassing Vladimir’s blocking area in an instant.

”Really loyal,” Vladimir shook his head and said, ”No wonder that punch lacked strength. He was prepared to sacrifice himself to buy time for the captain.”

Kedaruk was a Storm Fruit user. Once outside the dark space, it was difficult to catch him.

Here, his abilities were suppressed, making it relatively easy for Vladimir to fight him. But outside, he could freely soar through the sky—who knew where he would run?

”Angel! Your opponent is me!”

Paruk raised his arm, biting down hard. He drank his own blood, and instantly, his eyes turned bloodshot, completely crazed, losing all reason.

Seeing this, Vladimir paused slightly. ”Planning to fight to the death? Too bad, you’re still a bit short.”

If that black-haired giant ape fought desperately, Vladimir might really be dragged down. But a mere officer, far weaker than a general-level powerhouse, couldn’t stop him.

”Get out of the way!”

He snorted coldly, then kicked out with his foot. Instantly, a streak of holy light formed like a whip, striking out.

This holy light was like a whip, directly lashing onto Paruk, knocking him flying to the floating island.

In the next moment, Vladimir’s figure flickered, instantly pursuing.

Whoosh!

From the dark sphere, a figure shot out.

”Huh?”

Vladimir paused his action as soon as he appeared.

In the sky ahead, Shiki the Golden Lion single-handedly grasped Kedaruk’s neck, lifting him high.

”Tell me! Do you know where that ’thing’ is?” Shiki asked coldly. ”Tell me, and I might spare your life!”

”Cough cough...”

Kedaruk groaned miserably, badly wounded in the chest. Now, he was tightly grasped by Armament Haki, making it difficult to escape by fluid transformation.

”Shiki! You bastard...” Kedaruk was furious.

He wasn’t meeting Shiki for the first time. When he was still known as the ”Storm Hero,” he had met him before. Of course, back then, Shiki was a world-famous great pirate, while he was just a captain of a nation’s elite guard—not on the same level.

”Looks like you really want to die!” Shiki’s killing intent was overflowing as he said angrily.

”Cough cough... I don’t know...” Kedaruk spat out blood, his expression cold, showing no sign of softening. ”The World Government erased their existence. No one truly knows where they are.”

”Damn!”

Shiki took a deep breath, filled with murderous intent.

The reason he came to Cake Island was for Kedaruk. But the other party didn’t have the intelligence he wanted, wasting his time for nothing.

”You’re going to kill him?” Vladimir, flapping his wings, watched from afar. ”Do as you like. I’m just here to suppress the mutinying pirates. Of course, that includes you, Shiki.”

He wasn’t in a rush to act, simply watching the show.

Hearing this, Shiki’s killing intent slightly receded. After a moment, he said, ”There exists a super weapon capable of overthrowing the ’World Government’ in this world. The person who knows its whereabouts—Roger—is already dead. I originally thought this guy would know, but apparently not.”

”Super weapon?” Vladimir raised an eyebrow, playing with a hint of amusement. ”The three ancient weapons?”

”What?” Shiki was stunned. ”You know!?”

”Heh heh heh... Poseidon, Pluto, Uranus.” Vladimir chuckled softly. ”I know where Poseidon is, and I also know the whereabouts of Pluto. As for Uranus, it’s a mystery. But I understand everything else.”

Hearing this, Shiki’s eyes flickered with surprise and joy. ”I see. No wonder! Dream, why don’t we team up? With the location of the weapon you provide and the forces I gather—pirates and troops—we can make a plan. We could overthrow the world! Dominate this world!”

He grew more excited. ”Back then, Roger refused me. Otherwise, where would the World Government be now?”

Vladimir scoffed. ”You, a half-step in the coffin, still have the nerve to talk about teaming up with us? Dream on!”

”You, a half-step in the coffin, still have the nerve to talk about teaming up with us? Dream on!~”

Vladimir sneered.

He wasn’t interested in ancient weapons. Poseidon was Princess White Star from Fishman Island, capable of controlling Sea Kings. Such enormous Sea Kings—four or five thousand meters—would listen to White Star. But he could also do that with Sea Dragon techniques—so why would he need Poseidon? Just as an ornamental fish?

Hearing this, Shiki didn’t get angry. Instead, he looked puzzled. ”You’re not interested in the world? If we join forces, we can completely dominate this world. Then, power, wealth, status—everything you want—can be easily obtained!”

”Dream doesn’t care about overthrowing the world. You don’t need to waste your words.”

Vladimir shook his head calmly. ”Of course, we do have a business dealing with intelligence. If you want to know the whereabouts of the ancient weapons, I can sell you the information.”

”How much are you asking? Name your price!” Shiki’s eyes lit up, eager to ask.

”Heh heh heh...”

Vladimir chuckled softly, then sold the information about the ancient weapons to Shiki. He wasn’t that foolish.

This stuff was very valuable—more precisely, worth Devil Fruits. He was considering how much to ask for.

Moreover, the buyers wouldn’t be limited to just Shiki. Many others in the world would want it.

Just as he was about to name a high price, a streak of golden light suddenly shot across the sky.
