Experiment!

At this moment, Nicholas, who had arrived at the Celestial Dragon's residence, also sensed the sharp aura that almost swept through the entire Holy Land when one of the Five Elders made their move.

"Lucky me."

With his back to the direction where the powerful aura emanated, Nicholas stood on a building in the luxurious courtyard, looking down at Saint Samofeld, who was protected by a group of guards.

"It's... it's you!!! How can you be here!?"

[AN-Its the guy that bought Stella]

Saint Samofeld's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Nicholas standing on top of the courtyard building.

Compared to Saint Samofeld's extreme reaction, his surrounding guards all looked like they were facing a formidable enemy.

As Celestial Dragon guards, they had encountered many individuals who wanted to harm these nobles. However, most of those individuals chose to ambush Celestial Dragons outside Mary Geoise.

Considering the explosion that had just occurred in Mary Geoise, it was obvious that this guy was different from those individuals in the past. Moreover, many guards recognized Nicholas's identity. If a guy of this level really wanted to harm Saint Samofeld, they wouldn't be able to stop him.

At this moment, as one of Saint Samofeld's lackeys was about to angrily rebuke Nicholas for his insolence, Nicholas made a gesture to silence him by lightly pressing his index finger against his lips.

But how could such a gesture silence a loyal dog? Now was the time to show loyalty.

"You insolent fool! Do you know who is in front of you? How dare you stand higher than..."

Nicholas naturally understood that some individuals' servility was deeply ingrained.

Therefore, he directly used a thunderous blast to silence the bickering lackey.

With a swift motion, a flying finger gun sliced through the air. Almost as soon as Nicholas made his move, Saint Samofeld's guards also began to attack.

Even though they knew they were outmatched, they fought desperately. After all, if something happened to Saint Samofeld, they wouldn't be able to survive either.

Nicholas extended his palm, leaving afterimages in the air as he effortlessly dispersed the flying finger guns aimed at him.

Then, he shifted his gaze towards a figure emerging from the shadows of the corridor.

It was a person about two meters tall, shrouded in a white robe, wearing a full-face clown mask.

"CP0, huh? You're quite fast."

"Nicholas!"

A hoarse voice emanated from under the mask, with a clear tone of seriousness.

"A woman?"

Hearing that hoarse voice, Nicholas showed a curious expression. After all, members of CP0, as the sharp edge of the World Government, each had their own specialties. He wondered if this woman was like Rob Lucci or if she had other special abilities.

Swish!

"What?"

As the upper half of her body flew through the air, Nicholas couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. In the eyes of others, it seemed that Nicholas's body had been split in two by a black wall appearing at his waist.

Seeing the triumphant smile on the CP0 member's face, her ability seemed almost impossible to counter. Underestimating her could be fatal to anyone.

"Interesting! Is this your ability? But it seems to have its limitations."

Boom!

With the disappearance of the Armament Haki covering her, the wall behind Nicholas crashed heavily onto the ground, while electric currents surged around Nicholas's waist, restoring his body.

Nicholas's Observation Haki had gone wild the moment he was about to be bisected, so he had preemptively entered his elemental state to avoid the fatal blow.

Seeing this scene, the CP0 member's eyes filled with incredulity. However, she quickly raised her leg to kick Nicholas, who was rushing towards her.

The indigo slash wave emanating from her leg transformed into hundreds of diamond-shaped slashes in mid-air, sealing off all of Nicholas's attack routes.

"Tsk, CP agents really like to play fancy with their Rokushiki."

In Nicholas's eyes, countless indigo dots reflected, and then he directly entered his elemental state, letting these diamond-shaped slashes pierce through his body.

In an instant, Nicholas appeared in front of the CP0 member, and at the same time, he extended his Armament Haki-covered right hand, grabbing the CP0 member's mask and forcefully pressing her to the ground.

Crash!

With a loud bang, the ground beneath the CP0 member sunk rapidly, and spider-web-like cracks spread rapidly around her.

Crack! Crack!

With a series of cracking sounds, the clown mask worn on her face shattered, revealing an ordinary face among the crowd.

Feeling the pressure from Nicholas, the woman, pinned to the ground, did not hesitate for a moment. She promptly formed her hand into a blade and covered it with Armament Haki, slashing towards Nicholas's neck with the fastest speed.

"Making small moves in front of me is not a good habit. Thunder wave!"

As Nicholas spoke, the woman felt a chill pass through her heart.

Just as she began to be alert, a powerful electric current, seemingly alive, instantly bound her tightly to the ground.

Feeling the electric currents surging through her body, she distinctly felt a tightness below her waist, followed by a warm flow gushing out.

Obviously, under the stimulation of the lightning, her body gave the most instinctive reaction.

"Don't struggle. From the moment you were within my reach, this battle was already over."

Nicholas said slowly.

"You..."

The CP0 member's face changed, but before she could finish her sentence, she blacked out and fell unconscious.

Looking at the unconscious CP0 member, Nicholas didn't immediately kill her. Instead, after dealing with all the guards, he reached into a nearby room and grabbed a plate of fruits, placing it on the CP0 woman's body.

Seeing the defenceless CP0 member, Nicholas's body emitted a fluctuation, quickly enveloping the space around her.

Then, he directly thrust a thunderous longsword into her chest, and as the fluctuation began to rapidly shrink, Nicholas wondered, "Will it succeed?"

Thinking about the feasibility he had discussed with Vegapunk, Nicholas couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. If it was really feasible, it would be so interesting.

While conducting the experiment, Nicholas also summoned a thunderous rope, binding Saint Samofeld into a bundle.

"I wonder how things are going with Brook."

Nicholas muttered to himself.

The reason he brought Brook along this time was because of Brook's strong survival ability. As long as Brook didn't act recklessly, there would be no safety issues at all.

With the keen Observation Haki perception, Nicholas could sense powerful auras converging from a distance.

Obviously, the other party had noticed the abnormality here.

"Let me see... Hmm, that Vegapunk guy is indeed a genius."

Ignoring the increasingly urgent footsteps, Nicholas, while observing the burning Mary Geoise, smiled.

When the photograph was taken, the photographer even carefully checked the camera's lens, as forgetting to open the camera cover and failing to take a picture would mean the end of his commission.
