I Am the Uranus!
Soon, the ground began to shake violently.
"Huh? What's going on?"
"Is Mariejois going to collapse?"
In a series of shrieks that rose and fell, the canyon in the centre of the ground grew larger and larger, and then a huge black sphere floated from below the canyon to the sky above.
Bang!
The black sphere exploded, and another Imu flew out from it.
Only, this Imu looked a little more indifferent than before.
"What's going on here? Why is there a second Imu?"
"Are you kidding? Do we have to go through that kind of battle again?"
Amid such panicked and uncertain shouts, Imu slowly flew down, looked at the dead "self" and said in a raspy voice, "This body, after all, is dead!"
"This Imu, why do I feel as if something is not quite right? And this voice, I always feel like I've heard it somewhere!" Ivankov came to Dragon's side and muttered in a low voice.
Dragon nodded with a grave expression, "It would feel that way because you've heard the sound of Kuma!"
"Kuma? It seems to be true!" Ivankov first dawned, and then his eyes widened, "Wait, she would not ..."
On the other hand, Blackbeard is also said in a deep voice, "This guy gives me a special attraction!"
Looking around the pirates with a strange look, Blackbeard was stunned, pulled the corners of his mouth to explain, "I mean to pull me through the power, like the gravitational force of my Yami Yami no Mi!"
With his eyes staring soberly at each other, Longinus asked squarely, "Imu, what exactly is your ... right now?"
Imu's cold gaze swept, only when looking at Longinus, there was a slight change, "With your intelligence, it should not be difficult to guess?"
"Can't sense any breath of life, this is the second time I've encountered this situation!" Longinus took a deep breath and said, "Now it seems that you asked Gorosei to help you collect the research data of Vegapunk, as well as the fragments of flame left behind after the destruction of that strange type monster, in order to reverse the research of the method to break away from this body, right? Or rather, the method to break free from the binding of the Uranus!"
Hearing what Longinus said, the crowd, either confused or shocked, looked at the figure in front of them.
"Vegapunk? A different type of monster?" Akagami asked with a confused face towards Beckman, "Am I too stupid? How come I can't understand what he's saying?"
"You're focusing on the wrong thing!" Beckman took a deep breath and said, pressing down the restlessness inside, "What you should pay attention to is his last sentence!"
"She is the Uranus!" Blackbeard licked the corners of his dry mouth, looking at Imu's eyes full of greedy desire, "I seem to have some understanding, so she said cruelty is referring to this point? Really did not think ah! The Pluton is a dead thing, the Poseidon is a living thing, but the Uranus is combining these two directions together! Zehahahaha, those ancient scientists really know how to play!"
"Does it mean that the human mechanization research conducted by the World Government is for her?" Ivankov asked in disbelief.
"It's possible." Dragon nodded and said, "After all, only Vegapunk is capable of unlocking the bonds left behind by that group of scientists eight hundred years ago!"
Imu smiled and lifted her palm to look at it, "Now, you should understand why I would rather die! To be deprived of even the meaning of being a human being, to live is just a torture!"
Longinus was silent and looked again at the corpse at Imu's feet and asked, "Is this the body you once had?"
Imu nodded slightly and said, "That's right, you should be able to understand when I say this, right? What you have defeated is only the me from eight hundred years ago!"
Hearing her say this, the crowd uncontrollably shrieked.
"A lie, right? She had this kind of strength eight hundred years ago?"
"No wonder she always says how that era was eight hundred years ago, now it seems that era really shines!"
"Damn! Eight hundred years ago she was already this powerful, so how powerful would she be now?"
Longinus didn't get half panic; he knew very well that the length of time didn't mean anything to Imu.
A person who has no desire to become stronger will not necessarily be as strong even if he lives longer; the best proof of this is Imu's poor performance in that previous battle.
What is worth caring about is not the comparison before and after 800 years, but the change after Imu became the Uranus!
How strong was Imu after becoming Uranus?
"You look troubled, are you afraid?" Imu gently shook her head and said, "Actually, there is no need to worry too much, the positioning of the Uranus at the beginning was to appear as a massive war weapon, and I have not studied much about its usage in such battles."
But the more she said this, the more upright the crowd became; even this scale of war is difficult to use the Uranus, which means that the Uranus's real power is likely to be the level of destruction of the world.
Then they fought to the end, so hard to win; what about when Imu dragged everyone along to die?
"Then what exactly is the Uranus?" Although not expected Imu will answer, but Blackbeard still can not help but ask.
Surprisingly, Imu looked at him and then said in a cold voice, "Uranus, is the magnetic pole that has drawn away from this world, to be precise, I am the two poles of this world!"
A group of pirates and marines were first stunned, and then they all shouted in shock.
"Impossible! How can something like a magnetic field be extracted?"
"Right! That kind of thing doesn't even have an entity!"
"Wait, the chaotic magnetic field on the Grand Line would not be because of ..."
Hearing the crowd's alarm, Imu calmly looked at them and said, "There is nothing impossible, after all, the world itself is a huge magnet! You have guessed correctly, those scientists pumped away the magnetic field on the Grand Line precisely!"
Everyone was shocked; the answer was unexpected; who would have thought that Uranus was the world's magnetic field!
Longinus did not think this answer was ridiculous; in this world where even the soul and aura can materialize, nothing cannot be materialized.
Therefore, he mused and asked, "Without the geomagnetic field, the rays from the universe and the high-energy particles from the sun have no way to resist, and that's why there are more monsters in every sense of the word on the Grand Line than on the four seas?"
Imu, slightly surprised to look at Longinus, "You actually know this! Sure enough, you and these fools are not supposed to be from the same world at all!"
Although the crowd did not understand what rays and what particles, but also roughly understood, Imu said before that this era abounds in monsters have a share of her credit, should be referring to this point.
Indeed, now that they think about it, the proportion of normal people inside the Four Seas is much higher than that of the Grand Line!
"In that case, fortunately my hometown is the West Sea!" said Akagami rubbing his chin.
"Boss, although you do not look like a monster, but your strength is more than a monster ah!" Lucky Roux said in a whisper.
"In fact, these are also what those scientists said to me back then, without the geomagnetic field protection, the Grand Line ... heh! They should have been called the Equator at the time, this circle of the Equator is no longer suitable for human habitation. They put the nest of sea kings in the Calm Belt just to stop the people of the four seas from entering."
"However, I won't let their idea come true easily!" In the crowd's shocked gaze, Imu said again in a cold tone, "The legend of the Grand Line is what I had put out, and watching those greedy people slowly turn into deformed monsters is also my kind of revenge on this world!"
With that, Imu coldly laughed, "I just did not expect that they have adapted to this change, not only did not die a painful death in the mutation, but also gained some unexpected benefits! One by one, the physical quality has actually become increasingly stronger! That's why I said that you monsters should also thank me for the birth of these monsters!"
